Mason
Sorry, I think you dropped this.
Mason
Yeah I know. I needed an excuse to come talk to you.
(stares at him for a few seconds and takes the paintbrush)
Mason
It's quite lovely...what you're working on there.
(smiles) So new British guy, how close are the countries British and England?
Mason
They're the same country. Kind of and it's Britain not British.
I know. I just think it's ridiculous when people explain ridiculous things.
And speaking of ridiculous things.
Art Off is stupid. Just because Mr. Laritate picks a painting doesn't mean it's good. I mean look at him. He picks out those clothes.
Mason
He doesn't pick those. His mum lays them out for him.
I like you new British guy. You're on my team.
Mason
(offers to shake hand) My name is Mason Greyback.
"Mason Greyback" That sounds like the name of a game show host.. like, "Mason Greyback, I'll take British for a thousand, please."
Mason
(pretends a paintbrush is a microphone and a piece of newspaper is a card with a question) Your question is, "I think you're cute, what do you think of me?"
(makes a buzzing noise) We're out of time.
Mason, you haven't stopped staring at Juliet since we found her.
Mason
Juliet, I didn't know we were looking for you. I NEVER STOPPED LOVING YOU!
(gasps) Oh my gosh! What are you doing?!
Mason
I don't know!
Can't you see the way I feel about you?
Mason
Alex, I'm sorry! Something just came over me!
(takes off the necklace) I never want to see you again! (throws the necklace, waves her wand and disappears)
Dude, I don't know what you just did but she seems pretty hurt. I'm gonna let it slide so you and I are still good.
Mason
Justin please! Let me explain this!
There's nothing to explain. You broke Alex's heart. (to Max) He's not good with any of us.
I figured. I tried but it was totally hard to misread the situation.
Mason. Alex doesn't want to see you, and not to gloat, but I know Juliet doesn't.
Mason
I came to fix things.
(whispers to Justin) Make him write down what he wants to say to her. That accent of his gives him an unfair advantage.
Mason
Alex. I didn't mean what I said earlier. I was in shock from seeing Juliet but I wanna be with you.
Mason
Yes, I do.
Mason, look. I've been in shock before, too.. like, when I accidentally made my brother disappear.. or I accidentally made my parents not know who I was.. or I accidentally got trapped in a horror film.. or I accidentally-
Honey.. honey, we know.. you've messed up a a lot.
Yes. But still, I've never accidentally told someone I love them, when I didn't.
Mason
Alex, I know it's hard to believe, but if you just let me explain-
I think you've said enough.
You have to go now, Mister.
Mason
Yes, sir. I'll, be on my way, then. And I'll regret my mistake, for the rest of my life..
Mason
Alex, I'm over Juliet you've got to believe me.
Well, I don't. Just because she didn't want you, Mason, I'm your second choice.
Things are going well on my shift.
Mason
Listen to me, Alex. I can prove it. All we have to do is go back to Transylvania and find the true love necklace. If you put it on me and it glows, then you'll know how I truly feel about you.
No. I'm never going back there. You can go get it.
Mason
No. You have to go with me.. 'cause that's where it all went bad, and that's where I'm gonna make it all go good.
Mason, I'm sorry. What we have is so much stronger than any of that superficial stuff. The most important thing to me is that you're back and we're together. I love you, no matter what.
Mason
I don't know if I can believe you.
Mason
How?
The same way people have been doing it for centuries now. By slow dancing to a romantic pop song.
Somebody took the Russo's! I think they're from the government.
Mason
Oh my. I'll get Professor Crumbs. He'll know what to do! (thinks for a minute) Well, he might not, but at least I'll look like a hero for notifying him!
Wha-Wait! What should I do while you're gone?
Mason
Just stay here. That's what heroes say. I'll be back in a jiffy. [walks into the portal]
[once Mason is gone] What kind of hero says 'jiffy'?
Mason! How did they catch you?
Mason
I was admiring myself in the mirror with this hat on when they snuck up behind me.
How does someone sneak up behind you while you're looking in a mirror?
Mason
Well, I was very much admiring my hat.
[on Mason's back and jumps off] Whew, we're back. Hm, long walk!
Mason
[breathing heavily] Yep! For some of us it was!
Excuse me! My arms are tired from hanging on and trying to steer. Your ears are really tiny but really cute. [smiles]
Mason
[smiles and rubs his ear]
While we were stuck in that government facility I was afraid I would never see Waverly Place again. I missed you. [kisses the ground] There was definitely a horse parade here recently.
[exhausted] I must have lost thirty pounds on that walk. Do you know how long it's going to take me to gain them back?
Why is the Sub Station all boarded up?
Oh gosh. I gotta get in there! I wanna take a bath without someone yelling at me, "Hey lady, get out of my pool!" [bangs on the door]
Go away government agents! I have a soda gun and its loaded with root beer!
Harper, it's us! We escaped from the government guys!
I'm not falling for that! The real Russos are too lame to escape from anywhere.
Harper!!! [bangs on the door] Open up!! We'd flash in there but we don't have our powers. We only got back by hitching rides, taking buses, and a lot of walking.
Mason
[whips his head to her] YOU DIDN'T WALK AT ALL!!! YOU HAD ME CARRY YOU LIKE A CAMEL!!! [smiles] Love.
Too lazy to walk? Oh Alex it really is you! All right, hold on. I'll let you in. I just have to dismantle a bunch of booby traps I set up to protect myself.
[walks into the Sub Station] It's so good to be home! [gets hit by one of the traps] AH! [falls down and is unconscious]
Oops. I forgot to get rid of that one.
You think they'd want anything to do with us anymore? You guys don't even have your powers. You're nothing without them. Nothing. (puts the ice pack on her face)
Guys come on. There's something wrong with the portal.
I can't contact anybody in the Wizard World. I've tried WizCom, WizPhone, WizText, and just straight up yelling into the thing. (opens portal door) Hello! Are you listening?
Mason
Nothing but a WizEcho.
(snorts) It's just a regular echo, Mason. We don't put "wiz" in front of everything.
Look! The Wizmergency Wizlight is on! That means the powers are still down. Oh no, the government must have captured everyone.
This is bad. That means they still have Professor Crumbs too. (goes in the restaurant kitchen and picks up the phone) Hello? I'd like to speak with the officer in charge.
I'm calling the police. We have to do something to save the Wizard World. Hello officer yes I'd like to report-
(grabs phone) That you are doing a great job. Yep. Keep it up. Love ya! (hangs up phone) Alex! What were you gonna tell them?
(trying not to laugh) Not that I love them.
People don't hear it enough. Alex, you know you can't reveal magic.
Even I know that. That's why I just make people think I'm dumb. So if I slip up they'd figure, "Ah the kid's an idiot." I slip up all the time so...who's dumb now?
Alex, you can't call the police. We just need to lay low for awhile until this blows over and do nothing.
The wizard world is captured and you want us to do nothing? Fine. (goes upstairs)
The one time we ask the laziest girl on Earth to do nothing, she wants to do something!
Mason
I'm just happy she didn't ask me to carry her up the stairs.
Attention! Attention everyone! Listen, I know you're all here because I told you that Lady GaGa would be on a motorcycle jumping over a shark tank (Mason makes hand gestures and whooshing sounds) Yes, okay but that was just a front to get you here. There's something much more important.
RReporter
What can be more important than GaGa?
The government has unfairly taken an entire population of Wizards hostage. I know because I'm a wizard too.
Mason
(makes "Ta-da! Here she is!" gesture)
