Scenes with Grunkle Stan 76
[A man and woman float along the lake in their boat.]
RReginald
Now that we're alone, Rosanna, there's a burning question which my heart longs to ask of you.
[Stan comes alongside them in his boat.]
Stan
Hey! Wanna hear a joke? Here goes. My ex-wife still misses me, but her aim is gettin' better. Her aim is gettin' better. Ya see, it's funny, because marriage is terrible. [the couple row away from him] What?
Grunkle Stan
Grr....Gaa! Molly-coddling!
[Stan is trying to untie a wad of fishing line, alone in his boat, and overhears a nearby family while they are fishing.]
BBoy
Can you please tell me more funny stories Pop-Pop?
PPPop-Pop
Anything for my fishin' buddies! [laughs]
Grunkle Stan
Arghhh!
BBoy
Pop-Pop I just wealized that...I wuv you!
Grunkle Stan
Ahhhh! C'MON! Boo! BOO!
[flashback to the haunted garage sale]
SSeller
I must warn you, these statues come at a terrible price.
Stan
[looks at price tag] Twenty dollars? I'll just take 'em when you're not lookin'.
Stan
I said I was gonna rob ya.
Stan
For tonight's final illusion, we have the incredible Sack of Mystery. When you put your money in, it mysteriously disappears.
VTVarious tourists
[putting money in the bag] Oh, yeah. That makes perfect sense. Wow, what a nice man. That was totally worth the drive.
[At the gift shop, Stan shows Soos, Wendy and Dipper a newspaper article showing a picture of Gideon and Mabel together]
Stan
Hey, hey! What the Jekyll is Mabel doing in the paper next to that greasy pickpocket Gideon?
[browses her cellphone] Oh yeah, it's like a big deal. Everybody's talking about Gideon and Mabel's big date tonight.
Stan
WHAT?! That little shyster is dating my great-niece?!
I wonder what the new name will be for the power couple. Mab-ideon? Gide-Abel? [Gasps] Ma-gid-bel-eon!
I didn't know! I didn't hear about it! And plus, I told her not to!
Stan
[walking out the door] Yeah, well it ends tonight. I'm going right down to that little skunk's house; this is gonna stop right now! [Slams the door]
[Stan goes to Gideon's house to confront him. However, Gideon's father Bud answers the door.]
BGBud Gleeful
Well, well, Stanford Pines. What brings you here?
Stan
Outta the way, Bud. I'm here to talk to Gideon.
BGBud Gleeful
Well, I haven't seen the boy around. But as long as you're here, you simply must come in for coffee.
Stan
I don't think-
BGBud Gleeful
Ah, ah, it's imported - all the way from Colombia.
Stan
Wow. I went to jail there once.
[Dipper sees a nervous Mabel pacing around the living room]
What in the heck happened on that date?
I don't know! I was in the friend zone—and then, before I knew what was happening, he pulled me into the romance zone! It was like quicksand! Chubby quicksand!
Mabel, come on. It's not like you're gonna have to marry Gideon.
Stan
Great news, Mabel. You have to marry Gideon.
Stan
It's all part of my long-term deal with Buddy Gleeful. There's a lot of cash tied up in this thing. Plus, I got this shirt. [Looks down] Ugh, I am fat.
[Mabel runs out screaming]
Stan
Bodies change, honey! Bodies change.

Grunkle Stan
Kids, I can't find the remote and I refuse to stand up.
TATV Announcer
Stay tuned for the Friday Night Movie, "The Duchess Approves", starring Sturly Stempleburgess as 'The Duchess', and Grampton St. Rumpterfrabble as irascible coxswain Saunterblugget Hampterfuppinshire.
Grunkle Stan
KIDS!
No offense, Dipper, but you're not exactly Manly Mannington.
I am too Manly...Manny, or whatever it is you said.
Stan
Face the music, kid. You got no muscles, you smell like baby wipes, and let's not forget last Tuesday's incident.
[Flashback: Dipper is in the bathroom, in a towel, looking into the mirror and singing into his comb like a microphone]
Disco girl...comin' through...that girl is you! [Stan opens the bathroom door] DON'T COME IN, DON'T COME IN!
[End flashback]
[grinning] You were listening to girly Icelandic pop sensation BABBA?
No, I wasn't- It's not important.
[serving Stan and Mabel] Food!
Stan
Thanks there, sugar pot. I-I mean honey wasp, kitten baby, b-baby cow.
Stan
Nothing. I don't want to talk about it. Talk about what? Why is this table wet?
Grunkle Stan, you are a cranky, gross, weird old man. But we're gonna get Lazy Susan to like you because nothing is stronger than the power of-
Stan
Love?
[Dipper and Mabel go off to enjoy Pioneer Day]
Grunkle Stan, you coming?
Stan
No thank you. Just remember: if you two come back to the Shack talking like these people, you're dead to me.
[In an old-timey accent] There's a carpetbagger in the turnip cellar.
[Likewise] Well, hornswaggle my haversack.
[They spit on the ground and runoff, laughing]
Stan
DEAD TO ME!
[Stan attempts to drive away, but his car is stuck in the mud. He calls out to a man who is walking with a donkey.]
Stan
Hey you! Uh, Donkey Boy! Give me a hand with my car, will ya?
MMan
Here in 1863, I have never heard tell of a "car." Tell me, what is this magic wheel-box?
Stan
C'mon, Steve, you're a mechanic for Pete' sake! Cut me some slack!
MMan
"Slack?" I am unfamiliar with this bold new expression!
Stan
I can't take it anymore. [grabbing the man by the collar] I'm getting dumber every second I'm here!
[Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland run over, batons drawn]
Are we gonna have to intervene here?
Stan
Oh, look. The "constable!" What are you gonna do? Throw me in "ye stocks?" [laughs]
[Cut to Stan being locked in the stocks]
Stan
Oh, come on!
Ugh, poor Dipper. Hiding from Robbie, unable to face his fears.
Stan
Fears are for chumps. That's why I don't have any. [tries to reach an item on a shelf]
You want me to go get a ladder?
Stan
We don't have one.
Stan You know, studies show that keeping a ladder inside the house is more dangerous than a loaded gun. That's why I own ten guns, in case some maniac tries to sneak in with a ladder.
Grunkle Stan, why you actin' so cray-cray?
Stan
YOU'RE the one who's "actin' cray-cray".
[on the phone to Stan] Stanford Pines, listen to me very closely. I have your niece and nephew. Hand over the deed to the Mystery Shack right now, or great harm will befall them. [pause] This is Gideon, by the way.
Stan
[laughs] Oh yeah, this is gonna be your worst plot yet. They're fine. I saw them playing in the yard minutes ago.
I have them in my possession! You don't believe me?! I will text you a photo!
Stan
"Text me a photo"? Now you're not even speaking English!
[Stan hangs up]
