Stan
Look, times are tough, the economy or whatever, et cetera. Bottom line is… I'm going to have to cut your pay.
WIWaddles in Soos's Body
[Puts hand on Stan's face.]
Stan
What are you doing?
WWaddles
[Breathes eerily]
Stan
Is this some kind of negotiating tactic? Because it's not going to work.
WWaddles
[Continues breathing creepily]
Stan
Alright, I was lying, I'll give you a raise, just never do that again!
[Dipper talking to Stan about Wendy]
So wait...You actually believe my theory?
Grunkle Stan
You're darn right I do. And we're gonna get to the bottom of it...Right after I get to the bottom of this brown meat.
[Stan opens a can of brown meat and downs it]
Grunkle Stan
It's APOCA-LICIOUS!
All right, it took all day, but I converted it to a record. And now we can slow it down to see if the mind-control message theory is correct. Prepare to have your mind blown.
Stan
Spit-take, here I come. [sips Pitt Cola]
[Dipper plays and slows down the record, with a tapeman ready to record]
Stan
Hmm... that's not spit worthy. What gives?
What? Is that it? [fiddles with the speed] Ugh, This was so stupid! Course there's no hidden mind-control messages. Mabel was right. Wendy just likes the song. She just likes Robbie.
[entering with Robbie] Hey, Dip. Forgot my keys.
What's up, junior? What are you doing? Trying to come up with an equation to make girls like you? [laughs]
Ready to go to Lookout Point?
Heh, am I. [leaving with her] Later, dorks. Catch ya on the rewind. [chuckles] I made that up.
Stan
I'll rewind your FACE!
Wait a minute. Stan, rewind!
[He manually turns the record backwards, and it plays "You are now under my control! Your mind is mine!"]
Stan
[spits soda into Dipper's face] Holy mackerel! Now there's your spit-take!
Ha ha! I knew it! It's mind control after all! Oh no! I've got to save Wendy!
Stan
Finally, a good reason to punch a teenager in the face! Let's roll!
Stan
Women. They're the real mystery, Dip. You ruin their date, drive their hippie boyfriend's van into a ravine, and somehow you're the "bad guy".
No, it's my fault, I shouldn't have meddled in Wendy's personal life. She probably hates me now.
Stan
Ah, chin up, kid. You were tryin' to do the right thing even though you destroyed a relationship and part of my car.
You think she'll ever forgive me?
Stan
Ah, I bet she will. And until then, you can always go bowling with me.
Stan
Don't mention it, kid. [gnawing is heard from outside] Wait a second... is something rooting through our trash? [cut to a Sev'ral Times member rooting through the trash can; Stan drives him away with a broom] Hey, hey! GET OUTTA HERE! Darn beautiful men. Always eating out of my trash. Wait, what?
[Waddles chews on Stan's pant leg.]
Go, go. Chew that pant leg.
[Stan tears his pant leg free.]
Stan
All right, that tears it. Outside, now.
Grunkle Stan, no. You can't put Waddles outside. There's predators. And barbecuers.
Stan
That's just the natural order. It's not my fault your pig's potentially delicious.
He should be inside like a person.
Stan
People don't roll around in their own filth - except for Soos.
And we're the lesser for it.
[Mabel discovers Waddles is missing.]
Waddles! Waddles! Oh, no! How did this happen? Grunkle Stan, you didn't put him outside?
Stan
What? No, I didn't put him anywhere. I'm not acting suspicious. You're acting suspicious! What's a pig?!
Stan
I should have put that pig outside ages ago.
Wait, what did you just say?
Stan
Hm? What's that?
You said the dinosaur flew INTO the house. [gasps]
Stan
No! Wait, uh, if you think about it-
You put Waddles outside, then you lied to me about it! And now thanks to you, my pig could be dead! WADDLES COULD BE DEAD!
Stan
Look, he's an animal. He belongs outside.
No, that's it. Grunkle Stan, I am never ever speaking to you again.
Stan
Look, you can't be serious.
Oh, is someone talking right now? Because I can't hear them.
Stan
Kid.
[plugging her ears and walking away from her uncle] La la la la la! I can't hear anyone. No one's talking to me.
Grunkle Stan
Well Stan, this is it. Rock bottom, no friends, no family, stuck watching infomercials for whatever that is.
AAnnouncer
Are you sick of piles of owls constantly blocking your driveway? Well, then you gotta get Owl Trowel.
Stan
Watier, give me a glass of the cheapest, most expired apple cider you've got.
Stan
Soos? What are you doing here?
Ever since the Mystery Shack closed, I've had to take a bunch of part-time jobs - grave digger, bus driver, really awesome cook. Is the kitchen supposed to have that much fire in it?
[Soos runs in with a fire extinguisher.]
Stan
You're a good man..child, Soos. But it's not looking good. The whole town loves Gideon and hates me. If only they knew how evil he really was!
Hey, I'm here for you, dude.
Stan
The entire lower half of your body is on fire.
Shhh, we're having a moment.
Stan
Wait. Wait. Stop everything. I’ve got something to say.
Stan
Just wait! Look! You guys all think Gideon is so perfect and honest, "Oh. I can never tell a lie, I’m Gideon."
He’s more honest than you.
Yeah! And he’s psychic too.
Stan
How’s this for psychic? BAM! [kicks a metal stab revealing a control panel inside] Take a good look.
Wait a minute? Is that me? [on the monitor] The secret ingredient to my coffee omelette is coffee.
DDoctor
[on the monitor] I can verify that that birthmark is indeed disgusting.
EEveryone
That’s me! That’s me! That’s me!
Stan
That's right; these pins are hidden cameras! And my hearing aid was picking up the feedback! Who's the fraud now?
[Stan crushes the pin which indeed has a hidden camera inside. Everyone throws down their pins]
Gideon, we gave you our trust.
MDManly Dan
You lied to us.
Please, I... It's not what it looks like. What are you gonna do with me?
Get him. [sniffs] Get him.
Lil' Gideon, you are under arrest for conspiracy, fraud and breaking our hearts. Durland, the tiny handcuffs.
[Durland handcuffs him] What?! No!
Stan
Just one more thing!
[Stan picks him up and shakes him] Let go of me! Ow! Ow! Ow!
Stan
[retrieves Journal Number Two and the deed to the Mystery Shack] I believe this belongs to me.
[gets loaded into a police car] No! No! Watch the hair! You can't do this to me! Y'all are sheep! You need me! I'll be back! You'll hear from my lawyers!
SShandra
There you have it. Local hero Stanford Pines has just exposed Li'l Gideon as a fraud. Anything you have to say to the town, Stanford?
Stan
The Mystery Shack is back, baby!
Hey, Grunkle Stan? Me and Mabel have been talking, And I think there's something we should finally tell you. This is a journal I found in the woods. [Hands Journal 3 to Stan] It talks about all the crazy stuff that goes on in Gravity Falls. Gideon nearly destroyed the whole town trying to find it. I don't know what it means, or who wrote it. But, after all we've been through, maybe you should finally know about it.
[Stan skims through the book]
Stan
I'm glad you showed me this, Dipper. [laughs] Now I know where you've been getting it all from. Spookums and monsters. This kooky book has been filling your head with crazy conspiracies.
Stan
Haha. You gotta quit readin' this fantasy nonsense for your own good. Although some of these would make great attractions. Can't come up with this stuff. Mind if I borrow this?
Stan
"Magic book." [laughs more] Ridiculous. [leaves with the book]
Dipper, you don't need that book! Don't you see? On your own you defeated a giant robot with nothing but your bare hands. You're a hero whether you've got that journal or not.
Whoa. Thanks, Mabel. I still want it back though.
I'm sure you'll get it back. What would a boring old man like Stan want with that book anyway?
PAgent Powers
My name is Agent Powers, and this is Agent Trigger. We're here to investigate reports of mysterious activity in this town.
TAgent Trigger
[pointing at Stan] Activity!
Stan
"Mysterious activity?" At the Mystery Shack? You must be joking.
PAgent Powers
I assure you, I am not. I was born with a rare disorder that prevents me from experiencing humor.
Stan
[laughs nervously]
PAgent Powers
I don't understand that sound you're making with your mouth.
