Col. Rawls
I see one guy who isn't jazzed.
So, we're being forced to do this?
Col. Rawls
Well, this is purely a volunteer mission to benefit mankind.
[frustrated] Well, I don't volunteer! [leaves the room]
Col. Rawls
That's different.
Why can't Benson see that this is going to be really cool?
He's afraid to try something new.
The park wouldn't be the same without him.
We gotta get him on board.
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.
Colonel Rawls
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?
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!
Col. Rawls
No more questions! That's an order!
Why would I listen to you? I'm the park manager!
Col. Rawls
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]
Col. Rawls
I'm done.
Oh, I'm done. [turns red] I'm done with all of this!
Col. Rawls
Then go, then! We can get a pod back to Earth for ya, quitter!
Sounds great! I'm out! [he walks out the office]
Col. Rawls
Shoot. I thought for sure that reverse psychology was gonna work.
Colonel Rawls
A few months ago, you folks were scrawny, weak, confused, drifting aimlessly in space. Utterly useless. Until the Space Tree graciously took you in. Was it a mistake? Only time will tell. And now those worthless, scrawny cadets stand before me as moderately serviceable Space Tree Rangers. And today, you'll graduate the Spark Initiative and soon be on your way to terraform your first planet. I've already sent the coordinates into your dome's navigational computer, along with your personal fighter ships. Today is graduation day. There will be a ceremony tonight with light refreshments, compliments of the Space Tree. Hope to see you there.
[All the space cadets cheer]
MRMordecai & Rigby
WHOOOOOOA! Graduation!
Wow, one minute I'm graduating high school, and now I'm graduating space? Take that, Dad!
Hm-hm! I don't think "light refreshments" are gonna cut it.
[Back at the Space Tree, Mordecai and Rigby explain to Colonel Rawls about seeing Anti-Pops at the Comet Stop]
And he looked just like Pops! But evil!
Yeah, like an opposite Pops!
Colonel Rawls
[gasps in horror] He Who Will Erase Us. [turns on a microphone] Attention, Space Tree! This is your captain speaking! There's been a change of plans! You're all graduated, effective immediately! Congrats! Your first mission as Rangers starts now! Leave the Space Tree and get to your rendezvous points as soon as possible! Godspeed and good luck!
STSpace Tree Personnel
Sir! An unknown ship just docked with the Space Tree!
Colonel Rawls
We're too late.
