Albedo
[taking off the brown hair wig and turns to Ben] Ben Tennyson, we meet again.
[shocked] Albedo?! What do you think you're doing?
Albedo
I was about to go out for some chili fries. Care to join me?
I mean, what are you doing with this show?
Albedo
Truth be told, I'm making the best of a bad situation. Thanks to you, I have no Ultimatrix, and hence no way to fly myself away from this sad little planet your actions stranded me upon. Worst of all, [takes off the green eye lenses, looking at his reflection] I'm trapped in this repulsive human form! And since I needed some way to earn a living… [takes off the green jacket, opens a closet, and takes out a sound-wave grenade] I realized that the most fitting, if ironic choice, would be to make money off of you. So I created "Ben 10 Live!"
Well, you just had your last curtain call. The show's over!
Albedo
[shocked gasp] And disappoint my fans?!
Albedo
Whatever. [throws the grenade at them]
This Ultimatrix is just an overgrown strobe light. Between that and the smoke, he blinded the audience long enough to cover the aliens' entrances and exits.
So, you've been going around the country, doing this act for...
Albedo
Ever since I escaped from Vilgax's ship. Every second-rate resort, sales convention, and county fair. In one night, out the next.
But now you're gonna stop, right?
Albedo
What, and give up show business?
Oh, I am so going to clobber you!
Oh, but what's the point?
What's the point?! I'll tell you what's the point! How many times has Albedo stolen the Omnitrix, or the Ultimatrix, or kidnapped you, or, might I add tried to kill me?! And-and now, here he is again, ripping me off, using my face to fool people, and steal their money with this ridiculous dog-and-phony show!
Ben, if you want to shutdown "Ben 10 Live," fine. My dad's a lawyer. Let him handle it.
I don't like him either, but Albedo isn't a threat anymore. He's a nuisance.
Albedo
You needn't worry. Tonight was our last performance.
HHugh
What?! B-But what about--
Albedo
I said we're done.
All right. But try anything like this again, and I'll… I'll…
Yeah! That! [he, Gwen and Kevin then walk out of the building to the Rustbucket ship] I still think he deserved a major beat down.
Why waste the energy? You won, he lost. End of story.
Albedo
[enraged] You imbecile! The Ultimatrix must have interfered with the alteration field. So now whatever I turn into, I'll always change back... to this!
HHugh
It's all my fault, Albedo. I-I brought them here.
Albedo
Why would you do that?!
HHugh
Back home, I'm a nothing. But here on Earth, I-I'm kind of a celebrity. [clears throat] At least I closely resemble a celebrity. Most importantly, I had friends, especially you. That's why I told Ben Tennyson, so he would stop you, so you wouldn't leave.
Albedo
I don't blame you, Hugh. [turns to Ben, pointing angrily at him] I blame you! YOU DID THIS TO ME! IT'S ALWAYS YOU! [transforms into Rath]
[Ben fights with Albedo in Mr. Smoothy]
Cheap shot. And it didn't even hurt.
[Albedo changes into Big Chill]
NBNegative Big Chill
My mistake. I'll do better this time. [freezes Ben, but he then breaks himself out] You should be frozen!
[Albedo then changes into NRG and fires a beam at Ben, but he is resisting]
NNNegative NRG
No, no, no, no! [Ben punches him away and uses his strength to pull his grill plates apart and take him out of the suit] Let me go!
[Albedo changes into Brainstorm]
Change into whatever you want. I'll just keep beating you. Forever and ever!
Albedo
[reverting back] I understand now. Somehow, you've broken free from the dream eater. Easy enough to fix. [The dream eater appears in his hands]
Keep that thing away from me!
Albedo
[walks towards Ben, but ends up slipping on the same smoothie Ben accidentally knocked over in the real world, falls onto the floor, and the dream eater attaches itself to his face] Get it off me! GET IT OFF ME! [In the real world… Ben, Gwen and Kevin surround him in Ben's room with the dream eater still attached to him; writhing] Get it off me. Get it off me.
I heard a loud noise, and when I woke up, I found him just like this. What is that thing?
A Cassiopeian Dream Eater. Nasty.
Found it on the Extranet. They attach to a host and make them have terrible nightmares. They eat the chemicals your brain produces under stress.
Obviously, he intended that for you.
But he wasn't prepared for how messy your room is.
[chuckles] Tripped on your smoothie and dropped the bug on his own face.
Can't we pull it off of him?
Not without taking his face along with it. Maybe a Galvin doctor?
I already called. A plumber transport is on the way.
[Albedo starts groaning and squirming as he's in the middle of a bad dream]
I wonder what he's dreaming.
Albedo
No. Stay back. Please. [In his nightmare… he's sitting in the corner of Mr. Smoothy as all of Ben's aliens advance towards him; cowering fearfully] Please, don't hurt me! STAY BACK!
