Ben's High Score/Transcript

[The episode begins at the Studio with Tom, Ben ready to start their video]

Tom: And we’re live streaming!

Ben: Hello, Flapsters! Ben here! Welcome to today’s edition of “How To Be Less Lame At My Game.” This is Hank. Hank is a complete novice. Hank, will you confirm for everyone that you’ve never played the game “Flappy Talking Tom”?

Hank: Only because you’ve never let me!

Ben: Hank, focus! Now I’m gonna show you - and our viewers - how to succeed in this game... Well maybe not succeed, but at least enjoy your certain failure. Okay, Hank, are you ready to flap?

Hank: I’m ready, Ben! -

Ben: Off we go, let’s flap!

(Cuts to theme Song)

Ben: Okay, Hank, begin whenever you’re ready. In a way, Flappy Talking Tom is a metaphor for life… At first it seems like you’re always getting knocked to the ground, but if you keep trying, eventually you’ll start to make it past the few minor obstructions.

Hank: Like this?

Ben: Yes, just like... Hey, how’d you do that?!

Hank: How did you not do that? These first columns are easy.

Ben: Yes, that’s true. They were set up to give you a false sense of achievement... Now, the game will get harder, so be sure to think about what’s coming at you, and don’t take your eyes off the screen - not even for a second.

Hank: Hey, Angela. Did you see that re-run of "Coffee Shop Pals" last night?

Angela: I did! It was…

Ben: Angela, please! This is a serious game, it requires complete concentration!

Hank: Hey look! I am flying!

Ben: Now when Hank crashes here any second now I’ll give you an inside tip you’ll need to know to get past this impossible part that nobody… What?! No no no no! No... no... no!

Angela: He did it! - What?!

Tom: Yes!

Ben: Watch this. The secret to staying alive at this level is… Oh… This game’s stupid. Stupid cheating game!

Hank: Oh hey, hi, thank you, thank you!
