Oh, hey, Benson. Hey, Skips.
You want to explain why my phone is LEAKING?!?!
Yeah, we ment to give it back, but then a bunch of... different stuff... happened.
Different stuff?! You mean like the garbage that's all over this room?!
MRMordecai & Rigby
Uhh...
This place is a BIOHAZARD!! I want both of you to clean it up NOW!!!
Both of us?! Rigby's the one who's the slob! Look it his chimichanga! [slush]
Skips
He's not wrong.
Well, Mordecai even worse! Look at his junk at the corner! [no junk near Mordecai's bed]
[Now red] I don't care who's responsible! But you're gonna have to clean this room if you wanna keep living here, for FREE!!!
Maybe if you just reminded us one more... (Benson throws his hat in Mordecai's face.) Uh!
I shouldn't have to remind you at all! You two never listen to me and I'm sick of it!
Mad? I got mad the last time you ignored me. This time I'm...I'm...deeply offended! And now, I have six pounds of cheese and not one tortilla! What kind of quesadilla can you make with that, huh?! WHAT KIND?!
Skips
You can't make a quesadilla without tortillas; that's just cheese.
Thank you, Skips. So now, because of Mordecai and Rigby, here we all are, tired, hungry, nothing to eat. And if you two don't get those tortillas right now, YOU'RE FIRED!
1 HOUR LATER...
Done! [the bed collapses]
4 HOURS LATER...
[Rigby frantically hammers his bed]
8 HOURS LATER...
Done! Thanks for your help, Skips.
Skips
Yeah, don't mention it. [leaves]
[Mordecai, Skips, Muscle Man, and Hi-Five Ghost all turn to Rigby, very annoyed]
Way to rope us into your mess.
Skips
I don't know you.
If my future at Wing Kingdom is at stake because of you, [jabs his finger into Rigby's chest; threateningly] that $36,000 will be the least of your problems.
The golden wishbone. We wished to come back home safe and sound, and it worked!
Well, almost. It didn't grant the part where our families would be here. [he and Mordecai both hang their heads down, sadly]
[running out of the house] Guys, guys! Remember when I said everyone wasn't coming? I was wrong! [Mordecai and Rigby's parents emerge from the house] I checked the departing flights instead of the arrivals.
MRMordecai, Rigby, Benson, Pops and Skips
[annoyed] Thomas!
MSMordecai's Dad
Hey, Mordo!
MSMordecai's Mom
Hi, son.
RSRigby's Mom
Is that grown man over there my Rigby?
RSRigby's Dad
Come here, Rigby.
[Mordecai and Rigby happily run up to them]
It's so good to see you, guys. Except--
There's no food because we destroyed it all.
RSRigby's Dad
[chuckles] Well, that's what families are for. [opens the door, revealing a new Thanksgiving feast that's been prepared by all the families]
MRMordecai and Rigby
[surprised] Woah!
TMThomas' Mom
[holding out a turkey] Who's ready for some turkey?
[Later, all the performers, footballers and Thanksgiving characters, as well as some friends, have joined everyone for the feast]
[tapping a glass of water with a spoon trying to get everyone's attention] Ahem!
BSBenson's Dad
Oh? [shouting out to everyone] HEY, EVERYBODY! PIPE DOWN! [to his son; kindly] Go ahead, son.
I just wanna thank everyone for coming. Thanksgiving can be a hectic time for many. But to see everyone here makes it all worth it in the end. Mordecai and Rigby, would you please stand up? [Mordecai and Rigby do so] I know you guys aren't perfect, pretty much all the time. But I want you to know that I'm proud of you. You saved Thanksgiving! And for that, I raise my glass. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
EEveryone
Happy Thanksgiving!
[through walkie-talkie] Bad news! Benson, come in!
[on walkie-talkie] This better be important. I'm in the middle of something.
It's the statue! It's gone!
What?! [cut to the gang standing in front of where the statue of Curtis Montgomery has been stolen; throws his clipboard on the ground, angrily] Ugh! I can't believe Gene did it again!
Skips
Gene's the prank obsessed manager from our rival park. Every year, he and his goons steal the statue of Curtis Montgomery, and we have to go recover it.
Wait, who's Curtis Montgomery?
He's the park's founder. [shows him a postcard picture of Curtis Montgomery punching a bear in 1851]
Thomas, you're just an intern. You're not necessary in this one. Besides, we already have a backup plan. Suit up, you guys, we're going with Operation Alien Strike Force.
Yes! I knew we'd do one of mine eventually.
Well, we only have enough costumes for the six of us.
Plus, there's no time to brief you and this plan is air tight! You'll just be dead weight.
[Everyone runs off, except for Thomas and Benson]
Just go take a seat in my office and wait for me there, okay? I still need to talk to you when we get back.
I am necessary. I just need to prove it.
Rigby, staff meeting! Did you go in a pizza pouch bender again last night? Come on!
Last night? [gasps] Thomas!
Guys, it finally happened. I met the perfect girl. Her name is Natalie, and she's a preschool teacher. I'll be showing her around the park today. So your only duties are to leave us alone. Just leave me and Natalie alone, people.
[Rigby raises his hand]
No, you can't use the bathroom, Rigby.
That's not what I was gonna sa—
[interrupts Rigby] You know, Rigby has a point. What about Audrey?
[Everyone can't remember]
I was sad for months? I loafed around the house? [scoffs] Muscle Man and Pops, you took me to get ice cream. Skips, you made me train for that marathon. In fact, all you guys had a role in my lengthy healing process.
Skips
I don't remember any of this.
[yells] SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS! [calmly] Today is Thomas' last day. Now keep this under wraps, guys, 'cause I want to surprise him. At the end of the day, I'm offering Thomas a full-time job!
[Everyone cheers except Rigby]
Oh, yeah, I can't wait to see look on his face when he sees how I prank the new hires!
Skips
You know, we don't normally hire interns. But Thomas is really killing it lately. Killing it in the Park!
And Mordecai and Rigby, let's have you pick up trash by the snack bar.
Don't worry, this is the last time you'll be on trash duty for a while.
Awesome! Wait, we're not getting another intern, are we? Because I don't think I can handle another spy situation.
No, I've actually got some very big news about your dome-estic situation! (everybody stares at him) Hopefully it won't cause any pan-dome-onium! (everybody continues to stare) Dome you have any ideas about what's going to happen? (everybody is still staring) No one, huh? Well, since I have to spell it out for you, Maellard's decided to seal off the park in a dome to create a contained ego-system! A group of scientists from the government are going to study it for a whole month!
Bro, have would we ever have guessed that?
A whole month? Where are we supposed to go?
You'll have to move out, the dome's dropping tomorrow! Isn't that exciting?
Why aren't you more upset about the inconvenience?
Because I don't live at the park.
Skips
So we can stay at your place?
Heh, well, my place, while officially a one bedroom, (the wind starts blowing strong) feels more like a studio. So there isn't really any room! (he looks up and sees a dome coming down onto the park)
It's not tomorrow! It's today! They're sealing the park today!
MDr. Matthews
Mm. Looks like everything's normal.
I just have one question for you, doc. Who's this guy? [points to Hi Five Ghost, laying next to him, cheerfully smiling]
[The Park workers gasp in horrified shock that Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost don't know each other]
Hi. I'm Hi Five Ghost. I actually work at the Park, too. I'm surprised we never ran into each other.
Whoa! You guys really don't remember each other?!
What are you talking about, Mordecai? Why should we?
Yeah, I mean, how can I remember someone I just met?
MDr. Matthews
They're suffering from a very specific form of amnesia--one that only targets the memories of their friendship.
Skips
Is it treatable?
[everyone is complaining that they're in space now]
WHY AM I STILL WEARING THIS THING?! [takes it off and breaks it]
Skips
There's no cell service.
[whining] I need to call my wife, how am I gonna call my wife?! [sees that his phone has no service]
[watches the Earth far away] Be careful what you write in your dream journal, Eileen. You might just get it.
Oh, no! I'm lost forever! We're going to starve to death and die!
We gotta press the button again!
[grabs Rigby] No! We gotta calm-
[Rigby jumps off Mordecai and press the button]
[pressing the button while he's whining] GO BACK! GO BACK! GO BACK! GO BACK! My high school graduate, I'm too young to die in space!
[everyone is still complaining]
Stop! [calms down everyone] Everybody, calm down. We've done this before guys. Last time we got trapped in the dome, we panicked. Right? But then we banned together and figured it out. We can't fall apart now. We are going to figure out how to get home. But we have to survive first. All we have to do is to make it one day at a time,
Mordecai is right, we'll handle this like we handle everything else, with a morning meeting.
I see one guy who isn't jazzed.
So, we're being forced to do this?
Well, this is purely a volunteer mission to benefit mankind.
[frustrated] Well, I don't volunteer! [leaves the room]
Why can't Benson see that this is going to be really cool?
Skips
He's afraid to try something new.
The park wouldn't be the same without him.
We gotta get him on board.
Benson, check it out cool pillows.
Those pillows are not cool at all and neither is space.
Actually, Benson, I hate to disagree, but living in space is the definition of cool. I mean, I just got goosebumps saying that.
Um, again; basically kidnapped and forced to do this.
What's the matter, Benson? You can have top bunk if you want.
[sarcastically] Oh, the top bunk, now I definitely wanna stay in space. Muscle Man, what about Starla?
Starla would be proud, Besides, I know our love will stand the test of time. [holds up a picture of him and Starla signed "Our love will stand the test of time -Starla"]
Well, Fives, what about Celia?
Ditto. [pulls out a photo of him and Celia signed "Ditto -Celia"]
[agitated] I can't believe you people! Those scientists lied to us! MR. MAELLARD LIED TO US! UGH, I WANNA GO HOME!! [furiously storms out]
Skips
This is gonna be harder than we thought.
Here's your new jumpsuits. They got your names on 'em. Pretty cool, right? [Benson holds his jumpsuit]
You should keep this anyway. I'm not staying.
Tuh… You still don't get it. You don't think this mission is important. Well, fine! We don't need you! All that matters is that we have a team that wants to be here.
This seems like a pretty important mission. You don't wanna experience that?
Skips
Come on, Benson, just stay with us!
I can't believe you are all fine with this. [scoffs, holds his clipboard] I mean, if this is a peaceful mission, why do we have to practice using weapons? Why did I have to wear that fax machine like a jerk if you didn't have anything important for me to do? I had a good life and then you had to drag us up here!
No more questions! That's an order!
Why would I listen to you? I'm the park manager!
Well, I'm the colonel, which is about 100 positions higher than you!
[Col. Rawls snatches and chucks Benson's clipboard into the trash, incinerates like a black crumpled piece of paper; everyone gasps]
Oh, I'm done. [turns red] I'm done with all of this!
Then go, then! We can get a pod back to Earth for ya, quitter!
Sounds great! I'm out! [he walks out the office]
Shoot. I thought for sure that reverse psychology was gonna work.
