SSnuffles
Where are my testicles, Summer? [long beat] Where are my testicles, Summer? They were removed. Where have they gone?
Summer
Oh, wow... That's an intense line of questioning, Snuffles.
SSnuffles
Do not call me that! [smashes mirror behind him; Summer screams] "Snuffles" was my slave name. You shall now call me Snowball, because my fur is pretty and white.
Summer
Okay... Snowball, just calm down, okay? You're scaring me.
SSnowball
[walks on her bed] Scaring you? Tell me, Summer. If a human was born with stumpy legs, would they breed it with another deformed human and put their children on display like the Dachshund?
Summer
Uhhh... [Jerry and Beth come in]
Hey... [Beth gasps] Oh, wow... Okay, is-is-is everything okay in here?
SSnowball
Jerry, come to rub my face in urine again?
No! No, we were... uh, just seeing if Summer wanted to... uh...
Go on, um, one of our famous midnight family walks!
Summer
Yeah! Totally! Let's go.
[another dog on a robot machine blocks the exit from Beth, Jerry and Summer]
SSnowball
You will walk when it is time to walk.
[holding up the device and smiling] Y-You know, these demonic alien spirits are really valuable! [Morty vomits as Rick glances at him and puts the box away] You okay, Morty? Told you not to trust that tuna.
I just killed my family! I don’t care what they were!
I dunno, Morty. Some people would pay top dollar for that kinda breakthrough.
Y'know what, Rick?! That's it! I'm done with these i-insane adventures! That was really traumatizing! I quit! I'm out!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Come on, Morty! Do-don't-don't be like that! The universe is a crazy, chaotic place!
You're the one that's crazy and chaotic! Adventures are supposed to be simple and fun!
Oh yeah, Morty, yeah, re— Yeah, th-that's real easy to say from the sidekick position, but-but, uhh... how about next time you be in charge, and then we'll... talk about how simple and fun it is?
Seriously, Rick? Y-Y-You'll let me... call the shots?
Okay, yeah, fine! But let's make it interesting, Morty. I-I-I-If your adventure sucks and we bail halfway through it, you lose the right to bitch about all future adventures. Plus, you have to do my laundry for a month.
Okay. All right, tough guy. But if my adventure's good, I get to be in charge of every third adventure.
Deal. All right, w-well, come on! Let's get going! [Beth comes in]
Dad, the dishwasher's doing that thing again.
No! The opposite. Can you fix it? [Summer comes in]
Summer
Grandpa Rick! Can you help me with my science homework?
Yeah, d— Just don't do it.
Summer
Grandpa! [Jerry comes in]
Hey, Rick, you got some kind of hand-shaped device that can open this mayonnaise jar?
Wow, hat trick. All right, Morty, let's put a pin in this, I gotta help your pathetic family.
Oh, that sounds like something a chicken would say! Bahhk-bahk-bahk-bahk!
Oh, Morty, y-you done did it this time. It's on. I can't wait to watch your adventure lay a huge fart. As for you ding-dongs... [rummages box and holds a cube] this is a Meeseeks Box. Let me show you how it works. You press this— [a blue man poofs out of nowhere]
MMr. Meeseeks
I'm Mr. Meeseeks! Look at me!
You make a request— Mr. Meeseeks, open Jerry's stupid mayonnaise jar.
—the Meeseeks fulfils the request... [Meeseeks opens jar]
—and then it stops existing. [Meeseeks poofs away]
Summer
Oh, my God! He exploded!
Trust me, they're fine with it. Knock yourselves out. Just... eh-keep your requests simple. They're not gahh-ods.
All right, g-get outta here now! Everybody outta here! I got a bet to win!
[after Summer, Beth, and Jerry leave, Morty closes the door]
Summer
[uses alternate reality goggles] Ooh, we're not playing Yahtzee, we're playing Chutes and Ladders! It seems like when I exist, life gets a little more, I don't know... predictable?
When two people create a life together, they set aside their previous lives as individuals.
Gimme a break! We're not heroes for having unprotected sex on prom night. [uses goggles]
Oh, I get it. Now that you know you could have had it better, you resent me for holding you back.
Well, now that we know you think the tables are turning, we know you thought there were unturned tables!
[scoffs] What are you talking about?
All this time, you've been thinking, "What if that loser Jerry hadn't talked me out of the abortion?" Well, now you know, you'd be a doctor. Whoop-dee-doo. You'd also be drinking wine, alone in a house full of exotic birds. And I'd be on DiCaprio's yacht, banging Kristen Stewart!
[Morty walks in on Summer, packing a bag and preparing to run away]
Hey, uh…y-you doing okay? [she glares at him] I-I kinda know how you feel, Summer—
Summer
No, you don't. You're the little brother. You're not the cause of your parents' misery, you're just a symptom of it.
Can I show you something?
Summer
Morty, no offence, but a drawing of me you made when you were eight isn't gonna make me feel like less of an accident!
[points outside] THAT, out there? That's my grave.
Summer
[understandably confused] Wait, what?
On one of our adventures, Rick and I basically destroyed the whole world. So we bailed on that reality and we came to this one. Because in this one, the world wasn't destroyed. And in this one, we were dead. So we came here, a-an-an-and we buried ourselves and we took their place. And every morning, Summer, I eat breakfast twenty yards away from my own rotting corpse!
Summer
[deeply shocked] So…you're not my brother?
I'm better than your brother. I'm a version of your brother you can trust when he says "Don't run." Nobody exists on purpose. Nobody belongs anywhere. Everybody's gonna die. [beat] …Come watch TV?
Oh, look, it’s Rosemary’s Baby! How's business?
Summer
Here’s the last of our inventory. We’re going to file chapter 11 and do some restructuring.
Sounds like code for "You win, Rick!"
Summer
That was important to you, wasn’t it?
Nope, it was important to your dumb devil friend. To me, this was all just a bit, like when Bugs Bunny fucks with the opera singer for twenty minutes.
[Abradolf Lincler smashes his way into the house]
Oh, great. Who invited Abradolf Lincler?
Summer
I thought everyone was welcome.
It's not the same, Summer! Lincler's a crazed maniac. He's just a misguided effort of mine to create a morally neutral super-leader by combining the DNA of Adolf Hitler and Abraham Lincoln. Turns out [belch] it just adds up to a lame, weird... loser.
LLincler
Rick... you brought me into this world, a suffering abomination tortured by the duality of its being! But I shall finally know peace when I WATCH THE LIFE DRAIN FROM YOUR WRETCHED BODY! [accidentally nudges at Brad]
BBrad
Whoa! What's up, man?
LLincler
I have no quarrel with you, boy.
BBrad
"Boy"? What's that supposed to mean?
LLincler
It's just-- L-Look, I-I-I don't know how you thought I mean it, but... [shrugs at Rick]
LLincler
Look, I'm half-Abraham Lincoln, so...
BBrad
So... I should get on my knees and kiss your ass?!
LLincler
No, but... [strains] Y'know—
BBrad
What do I know?! That the Third Reich will reign for a thousand years?!
JJessica
Leave him alone, Brad!
BBrad
Stay outta this, Jessica!
KICK HIS ASS, BRAD! [everyone starts chanting] KICK HIS ASS! KICK HIS ASS!
[Brad punches, kneebutts Lincler's face to a bloody pulp and brawls at him more]
JJessica
Brad! [runs off to the front door with Morty running after her; he has Rick behind him]
[pushes him] Just did you a favor, Morty.
RRicks
This is why you don't freeze time, you guys. It's incredibly irresponsible.
MMortys
And you did it so we could clean the house after a party?!
RRicks
Look, there's no time to hold me accountable, Morty. Like, literally no time. Look around. Uncertainty is inherently unsustainable. Eventually, everything either is or isn't. And we've got about four hours to be "is."
RRicks
We "isn't." All right, since this time crystal exists in both possibilities, and since it's impossible that I didn't nail this, I'm probably about to press this button in both possibilities at exactly the same time.
M1Morty 1/Summer 2
How do you know that I—
RRicks
Whatever you're asking, the answer is I'm amazing. And away we go!
[the two Ricks press their buttons; the two realities are starting to merge back together as one]
Huh, what do ya know—it's working. [the two Mortys and Summers begin distorting each other thoroughly] Oh... shit!
[Rick reverts into two possibilities again]
RRicks
What the hell is wrong with you two?! I-I-I-I..I mean, you four!
MSMortys/Summer 2
That hurt! That was painful!
RRicks
Good! I'm glad that was painful! You deserve it! I saw you!! Y-You're both uhh-all over the damn place! We've been split for 20 minutes and your lives are already scattered to the quantum fucking wind?! What the hell do either of you two have to be so uncertain about?! Your brand of zit cream?! Which chair to sit in while I do everything?! Come on, spit it out!
MMortys
Well, you don't exactly make it easy, Rick! [talk differently at the same time] You make fun all the time and that's got Summer to do! / You're always picking on me and now you got Summer to kiss your ass!
SSummers
Me?! What about you?! Could you be more excited to see me fail?! You got Grandpa all to yourself! / You're just as mean to me because you're jealous... because you want Grandpa all to yourself!
RRicks
All right, all right, cool it! I see what's happening here. You're both young, you're both unsure about your place in the universe, and you both want to be Grandpa's favourite. I can fix this. Morty, sit here. Summer, you sit here. Now, listen—I know the two of you are very different from each other in a lot of ways, but you have to understand that as far as Grandpa's concerned, you're both pieces of shit! Yeah. I can prove it mathematically. Actually, l-l-let me grab my whiteboard. This has been a long time coming, anyways.
RRicks
So, in conclusion, you're both equally mercurial, overly sensitive, clingy, hysterical bird-brain homunculi. And I honestly can't even tell the two of you apart half the time because I don't go by height or age, I go by amount of pain in my ass—which makes you both identical. All right, everything resolved? Everybody nice and certain about their position in my world?
RRicks
All right, perfect. Sit still, arr-arms down. I'm gonna do this again. This time, be like Grandpa.
M2Morty 2
You mean drunk?
R2Rick 2/Rick 1
What's that? You got something to say? / And awaaay we go!
R2Rick 2
And awaaay we go! [presses his button but no response] Huh, that's weird.
R1Rick 1
Huh, that's weird. [keeps pressing to no avail] Oh my God.
S1Summer 1/Rick 2
What? / Oh my God.
S2Summer 2/Rick 1
What? / The sonofabitch is gonna kill me!
M1Morty 1/Summer 1/Rick 2
What?! / The sonofabitch is gonna kill me!
M2Morty 2/Summer 2
What?! [both Ricks tinker time-device]
R1Rick 1
Diabolical, unfeeling sociopath! Don't you get it?! Don't you get it?!
R2Rick 2
Don't you get it?! The other Rick isn't trying to merge us anymore!
RRicks
He thinks he can save his own skin by using the crystal to kill me! He probably figures it's ehh-easier to eliminate one of the possibilities rather than merge them! [chuckling] I have to admit, it's always in the back of my mind too. The difference is I would never do it! Until now.
MMortys
Rick, what the hell are you doing?!
RRicks
Saving our lives! After he takes me out, he's g-g— he's gonna be coming for you!
RRicks
Me! [Rick 1 shoots first before Rick 2 does; Morty and Summer 2 scream]
R2Rick 2
You see that?! Get down! [shoots upwards at Rick 1]
R1Rick 1
I told you! He's a psycho!
R2Rick 2
He's lost it! Th-th-th-the time fracture must've made him crazy!
R1Rick 1/Summer 2
I don't know what to do! I don't know what to do! / Oh, crap!
[the two possibilities then gradually split into four; all Ricks look at their monitors with four dots]
RRicks
Oh, God, now there's three of 'em! We're outnumbered! Get in the cupboards! [all Mortys and Summers do so] Wait, do-don't do that! They'll know! Wa-wait— Think about getting in the cupboards, but don't really! [all Ricks shoot their cupboards] URAAAHHHH!!!! IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT, YOU SICK FUCKS?!! YOU WANT TO SEE CHILDREN DIE?!!
[Rick shoots Uncle Steve in the head with his laser gun; everyone freaks out]
What the hell, Rick?! What the hell?!
Would everybody just relax for a second? There's no such thing as an "Uncle Steve". That is an alien parasite.
[Steve's body morphs into a horrifying-looking alien, spraying magenta enzymes out of its mouth tentacles at Jerry. Summer and Beth gasp]
But I've known him my whole life!
No, you haven't, Jerry! [lifts it onto the table] These telepathic little bastards, they embed themselves in memories and th-th-they use those to multiply and spread out, take over planets. It's-it's disgusting.
He's a real piece of shit! This is a big one. [drops it] Somebody probably tracked it in last week on the bottom of their shoe or on a piece of alien fruit.
Summer
Someone?
Get off the high road, Summer! We all got pinkeye because you won't stop texting on the toilet.
But Uncle Steve taught me how to ride a bike!
No, "Steve" put that memory in your brain so he could live in your house, eat your food and multiply. We could be infested with these things. [burps, unloads laser clip] So, we got to keep an eye out for any zany, wacky characters that pop up.
Ooooh-wee! Whatever you want, Rick, we're here to help!
Thanks, Mr. Poopybutthole. I always could count on you.
[While fighting the parasites, Summer remembers an unpleasant incident where she discovered Morty masturbating in the kitchen]
Summer
OH MY GOD! [covers her eyes]
[covering himself] I-I-I thought you went to a concert!
Summer
We forgot the tickets! WHY IN THE KITCHEN?!
I DO IT EVERYWHERE, STOP SHAMING ME!
Summer
YOU'RE NOT THE VICTIM HERE!
I HATE YOU AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT YOUR FRIEND GRACE!
[Summer runs out screaming]
[After killing all the parasites]
From now on, let's all be careful to wash our hands when we get back from outer space. That goes for everyone.
This is depressing. We killed every good person in the house. We're what's left? What a family.
At least we're real, Jerry. We're real! Rikki-Tikki-Tavi!
Ooh-wee! Amen to that. Now, this little poopypants is hungry. Will somebody pass me a pork chop?
[Rick passes him one. Beth watches him suspiciously as he eats]
Huh. I-I-Is something wrong, Beth?
[Beth shoots him, sending him flying into the wall, bleeding actual blood instead of parasite slime, and everyone cries out in horror]
[on the phone] I need an ambulance! There's been a shooting, my wife shot... Uh, my-- My wife shot a long-time family friend.
Summer
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, Mr. Poopybutthole!
Keep breathing! Look at me! Look at me! Don't-- Don't fall asleep!
Is this what bleeding to death is? Oh-wee... Is this how I die?
Why would you do this, Beth? It's not supposed to hurt, I-I thought... ooh-wee...
[Police sirens are heard outside; Beth retreats into the kitchen, sobbing and messily pouring and drinking a glass of wine]
Summer
Wait, what?! Vampires are real?!
Yes, Summer, vampires are real. Who knew? Oh right, all humanity for hundreds of years now.
Yeah, Summer, it's a big universe. Get used to it. R-Right, Rick?
Summer
Well, what are we going to do?!
We're gonna live our lives until we die. Possibly by vampire. More likely auto accident or heart disease, but possibly vampire.
[meanwhile, in Harry Herpson High School]
Summer
Any leads on the vampire?
No, Summer. I mean, y'know, I think it might be time that we just l-let it go.
Summer
Oh, so now you're too cool for this just because Grandpa Rick is?
It's not that, it's just... that the universe is a little too big to care about something so small. [closes locker next to Tiny Rick] Ahh!
TRTiny Rick
What up, my Helsings?! Who wants to hunt a vampire?! Hahaha!
TRTiny Rick
Yeah, I got bored and then I remembered this morning how I blew Summer off and I thought, "Hey, why're you such a grumpy douche, Rick? Go to the garage, transfer your mind into a younger clone of yourself, and get embroiled on in some youthful hijinks. What's the BFD?" So here I am. I'm Tiny Rick!!
Summer
Well, it's good you're here, Rick.
TRTiny Rick
It'll still be fun to do this as a fuckin' team, motherfuckas! [all hands join, up high] Tiny Rick!
Summer
Yeah! Oh my God—Toby Matthews!
TRTiny Rick
Hey, Toby. I'm Tiny Rick. [Summer hides her face] I'm new. Hey—oh, go easy on me. Haha! Just kiddin'.
TMToby Matthews
[beat] ..I like your straightforward style. And that lab coat's pretty cool. [strolls] Summer.
Summer
..He knows my name!
TRTiny Rick
Why wouldn't he?! You're great! But listen, just be careful. We can't rule anybody out as the vampire, [nudges Summer's arm] not even the dreamboats.
Summer
[flattered] Stop, Tiny Rick.
TRTiny Rick
HUNTIN' A VAMPIRE WITH MY GRANDKIIIDS!! FUCK!! TINY RIIICK!!!
TRTiny Rick
Hey, what's up, Summer? Ooh, nice top.
Summer
Thanks. Tiny Rick, you think you might be getting back into your old body tonight?
TRTiny Rick
No can do. Tonight's the big dance, and Morty's bringing Jessica. He needs his tiny wingman! [high-fives Morty]
BBoth
Tiny Rick! [Morty laughs]
Summer
Okay, but if not tonight, when?
TRTiny Rick
I dunno. When I feel like it?
Damn, girl! You need to chill out! This whole thing was your idea in the first place, and now you're tryin' to rush it along.
TRTiny Rick
Yeah, and y'know what? I like high school. I like hangin' out. I'm Tiny Rick!
Summer
But what if the you that likes it isn't you?
BBoth
[beat, laugh out loud] Oh, Summer!
It's just Rick in a younger body! What's the-what's-what's-what's... what's the problem?
Summer
Look at his art, Morty!
TRTiny Rick
I've got an emo streak. It's part of what makes me so rad.
Summer
Why does it say "Help me Morty and Summer!"?!
TRTiny Rick
[crumbles, throws paper] Come on, Summer, that's just the title of the art. Why was Knight Rider called Knight Rider? The car's name was KITT. Nobody rode Michael Knight. You're overthinkin' it, Summer. I'm Tiny Rick!!
Summer
Grandpa, I think that when you put your mind into this body's young brain, it did what young brains do—it shoved the bad thoughts into the back and put a large wall around them. But those bad thoughts are the real Rick. The fact that you're old, the fact that we're all going to die one day, the fact that the universe is so big, nothing in it matters—those facts are who you are! So you're trapped in there and you can only come out in the form of Tiny Rick's teen angst!
TRTiny Rick
Well, Summer, I hear Toby Matthews isn't into psycho chicks. Can't think of anyone that is. I'll see you motherfuckas at the dance! Tiny Rick!
Summer
Morty, you have to help me!
Summer, he's happy! I'm happy! I-I-Is that why you're doing this?! You don't want me and Rick to be happy?!
Summer
No!
Well, then get your shit together! Get it all together and put it in a backpack—all your shit, so it's together. [leaves, then comes back] And if you gotta take it somewhere, take it somewhere, you know? Take it to the shit store and sell it, o-or put it in a shit museum. I don't care what you do! You just gotta get it together! [leaves, then comes back again] Get your shit together. [leaves]
AAnnouncer
It's the Opposite News with Michael Thompson!
MTMichael Thompson
Hey, everybody, it's me, Michael Thompson. Today the Pope didn't get killed. He's perfectly fine, and he's on vacation in Aruba. In other opposite news...
Hey, Rick, what's the deal with this guy? W-Why is his body, like, sloping off to the right side of the screen like that?
I don't know, Morty. Let's see what else is on, huh? [changes channel]
PTPichael Thompson
Hey, welcome to Cooking Things. I'm Pichael Thompson.
Hey, wait a minute, Rick! This guy's body is, like, sloping down and leaning off to screen left!
Oh my God, and his name's Pichael!
PTPichael Thompson
I'm cooking a little bit of this, I'm gonna cook a little bit of that. Oh-ho-ho, hey! [drags conjoined Michael] Stop tugging, Michael!
Oh my God! Siamese twins! They're-they're Siamese twins!
MTMichael Thompson
You quit tugging! I-I'm in the middle of my news!
PTPichael Thompson
Oh, oh, it's always about you, isn't it? Can you believe this guy, ladies and gentlemen? He's got his own news show, he's got a normal name!
Hey, flip back to the news!
PTPichael Thompson
You could tell our parents started with naming with him. [the news camera backs away, showing them in Pichael's side] It's like, "Oh, Michael." I ha— They had that one planned before they even got pregnant, I bet.
Summer
I don't wanna be that girl, but maybe there would be less conflict if they didn't shoot their shows at the same time?
Oh, Summer, you have no idea how much money that must save production.
PTPichael Thompson
And then they found out I was attached along for the ride and they said, "Ah, shit. Well, just fuck it, call him Pichael."
MTMichael Thompson
[throws papers at Pichael's face] Fuck you, Pichael! You're a fucking piece of shit!
