[Opening lines]
[Distorted] The aliens are already among us. Strange creatures with unbelievable powers, aliens are real but that isn't the amazing part. This is. All of the creatures you've just seen are actually alter egos of one man. His name is Ben Tennyson.
[The news footages shows clips from Kevin's Big Score, Pier Preassure and Save The Last Dance]
[Smirking] You are so busted.
That's not my best angle.
Gwen
Every channel, Ben, all weekend-- nothing but you wrecking things, and they know who you are.
Nobody cares if I'm a superhero!
Okay, maybe a few people care.
You should lie low for a while, maybe go to Julie's.
Gwen
Good idea, but how do you get past them?
[Roars at the reporters to scare them away]
[After Humungousaur scares off the reporters]
[Continues roaring but starts coughing, timing him out and reverting him back into Ben.]
Hey, Gwen, you got a lozenge? Growling's rough on my throat.
[Gwen hands him a lozenge which soothes his throat.]
You should have used one of your new Ultimate transformations.
I wanted to scare them, not me.
[At Julie's house.]
Thanks for letting me hang out, Julie.
I had to tennis practice in an hour, but you can stay here until I get back.
[Julie presses the remote and puts on the news]
Extra credit for AP current events. Oh, this guy hates you.
It's too nice a day to sit inside watching TV. Why don't we go for a drive in your new car now camion? That always cheers you up.
I don't need cheering up. I'm not upset.
Why not? Everybody hates you.
Gwen
Maybe I can do more good as a public superhero than I did in secret. Sure, most people think I'm a menace now.
Only 26% of adult viewers think you're a menace.
74% think you're a threat.
Well, my point is, once people get to know me, I can win them over.
That hasn't been my experience.
Gwen
We know you were trying to help, but by revealing Ben's secret, uh, you've made it harder for him to help people.
I'm sorry. I thought you'd like the fame. You know, all the attention and money.
I've got pictures of a lot of your alien forms-- Humungousaur, Goop, Jeffrey--
Jeffrey? You thought I named one of my aliens "Jeffrey"? It's Jetray!
Hm, that does make more sense.
Gwen
Who's this one?
I thought it's Mr. Tennyson. It showed up a few months ago at Orlando.
Gwen
We can borrow Ship from Julie.
Don't have to. We'll take the Rustbucket.
You want to drive all the way to Florida?
Not that Rustbucket. The new one.
[The team has boarded the new Rustbucket 3 in jet-style]
Supersonic in atmosphere. Subspace, hyperdrive for effective FTL. Bonus gizmos I've acquired here and there.
Sweet. This is going to be the coolest thing I ever crashed!
Gwen
[Looks at a computer screen] Extranet access! We can use our Plumbers' badges to access any database on Earth. Even secure ones!
Boring! [Turns to Kevin] Make it go!
FNForever Ninja
Right then, we go in fast, grab what we came for and get out.
FKForever Knight
Charging the cannon now.
[The Knights aim the tank's cannon at the museum door]
FKForever Knight 1
This'll rip that door open like it was made of tissue paper!
[Ripped open the top of the tank] LEMME TELL YA SOMETHIN', FOREVER KNIGHT AND FOREVER NINJA!! NOBODY'S RIPPIN' OPEN NOTHIN' EXCEPT RATH! [One of the Forever Knights shoots at Rath] THAT'S YOUR FIRST MISTAKE! WHEN YOU SHOOT RATH, YOU JUST MAKE RATH MAD! [Roared and is about to attack when his phone rings and he answers it, lowering his voice] Hello?
Gwen Tennyson
Ben, where are you? Julie's in the middle of her set!
Lemme tell ya somethin', Gwen Tennyson. I was on my way there when I saw this tank pull up at the museum and-
Gwen Tennyson
I don't care, get here! [Hangs up]
That was harsh. [Raises his voice again] NOW, WHERE WERE WE?!!! [Looks back into the tank to find that the Forever Knight and Forever Ninja were running for their lives. Goes mad and starts throwing parts of the tank at the Knights. Talking to some old men on a bench who are acting as though nothing is happening] What?! It was already busted! [Walks off]
How would you know? (walks away)
Gwen Tennyson
It's what you did, Ben. You were late, and when you finally show up, you made a big entrance and completely blew her concentration.
I can't help if I'm famous, right? (waves to the crowd; Gwen glares at him) I'm sorry. It won't happen again.
Gwen Tennyson
It better not. The finals are in three hours. That should be enough time for you to figure out how to make this up to her.
(to Kevin) Any suggestions?
Yeah, there's a plan - ask me for girlfriend advice.
(Running to Gwen with Kevin behind him) Come on, Gwen, wait up! (Gets to Gwen, who turns around, and stops running) Okay, so I was a little late. I was kinda busy!
Gwen Tennyson
(Talking about Julie) And this tournament is important to her!
If we're doing important, maybe we could figure out why the Forever Knights are trying to bust into that museum.
Gwen Tennyson
Forever Knights? Like that's a big riddle. They're trying to steal some piece of alien technology so they can slay dragons, or take over the world, or something.
So now we ignore them while they try and take over the world?
Gwen Tennyson
They're always taking over the world. This is Julie's first professional tournament. We should be supporting her. She should be center of attention, especially from Ben. [looks at Ben, who is on his smartphone] What are you doing?
I was thinking that while we were waiting around, I could go and catch Sumo Slammers the Movie.
You're either the bravest man alive, or the dumbest.
It's opening today! And there's a 2pm show just a few blocks-! (Gwen puts his hand over his mouth)
Gwen Tennyson
No.
(Moves Gwen's hand away from his mouth) But it's Sumo Slammers! In 3D!
Gwen Tennyson
Ben...
It's their first live-action movie! Everybody knows live-action is better than cartoons.
Gwen Tennyson
Benjamin Kirby Tennyson! Don't even think about it! You can't be in two places at once! (Walks off, Kevin shakes his head at Ben, then walks off as well)
(Stands still for a moment, then gets an idea) Or maybe I can.
Gwen Tennyson
Where have you been? Julie's match is about to start.
I'm here. Why don't you put a sock in it?
Gwen Tennyson
Whoa. What's with all the attitude?
BCBen Clone 2
Hello, Kevin. Hope I didn't keep you waiting.
Didn't I just see you with Gwen?
BCBen Clone 2
I guess so. Didn't you want to go investigate the Forever Knights robbery?
Yeah, but Gwen's pretty mad at you. You better...
BCBen Clone 2
Gwen might SEEM inflexible, but her heart is as big as all outdoors. She'll forgive my transgression.
Gwen will forgive you? Gwen Tennyson?
BCBen Clone 2
This mission's important to you, and you're important to me, my good friend. Let's go.
[to himself] Somethin's definitely wrong here, but so far it's workin' out for me.
[peeking out] Julie's covered, Kevin's covered, and I'm off to the movies.
Go, Julie! WHOO HOO! Julie Yamamoto is number 1, baby! [Gwen pulls him down] What?
Gwen Tennyson
You're embarrassing her!
Gwen Tennyson
No, she doesn't.
(Julie looks down)
My bad. (Gwen looks back at the match; gets up, yelling to Julie's tennis opponent) Hey, other girl! You're a terrible tennis player and my girlfriend's gonna kick your butt!
(silence, then the crowd starts yelling)
RReferee
What's happening up there!
Uh, that's my... boyfriend.
RReferee
(sarcastically) You must be very proud.
I'm glad you won your tournament, Julie.
[sarcastically with a trophy sitting next to her] Yeah, thanks.
Gwen Tennyson
You should have been there, and by that I mean you should have been there.
Ben, I know you were off fighting bad guys. I was upset. But, I guess that's a deal when you decide to date a superhero.
[trying to please and calm down Julie] Julie, I promise, I'll make it up to you. Whatever you want to do, I'm there, just name it.
[calmed and pleased, ready to give Ben another chance] Well, maybe we can go see Sumo Slammers: The Movie together.
Actually, I, uh... already saw it.
Uh...during your match...?
Well! That's just-- Oh! [furiously storms off]
Gwen Tennyson
[Scoffs] Nice. [storms off after Julie]
[disappointed] Man, you are so insensitive. [walks out too, leaving Ben alone in the stadium to repent on what he did]
