A Secret Worth Keeping: Part Two/Transcript

(Previously...)

(Ben carries a box of supplies into the diner. He sees Angela and attempts to leave.)

Angela: Ben!

(Ben gasps and drops the box.)

(Ben whistles and walks into the diner.)

Ben: ...birthday... (gasps)

Angela: You mean my surprise birthday party?

(Ben and Angela are seen in their booth.)

Ben: Oh, I blew it! Why can't I keep a secret?

(Scene shows to Angela talking to Ben at the diner.)

Angela: Maybe Tom forgot my birthday.

(Scene shows Angela slamming the table.)

(Scene cuts to Angela talking to Ben.)

Angela: I guess sometimes birthdays are hard to remember. Right?

(Scene cuts to Angela entrusting Ben with a secret.)

Angela: Can I tell you a secret?

Ben: No, don't tell me.

(Scene cuts to Angela eating ice cream)

(Scene cuts to Angela saying her secret.)

Angela: (blurts out) I kinda like Tom!

(Everyone in the diner gasps.)

(Back to present day. Angela is dancing on the driveway. She opens the door and goes inside.)

Angela: Hey, guys. Thanks again for the surprise party yesterday.

(Ginger and Hank are hiding behind the couch and giggling.)

Angela: You guys are the best.

(Ben is also giggling at his desk.)

Angela: Can someone fill me in on what's so funny?

Ginger: (sarcastically) Oh, Angela. You really don't know why we're laughing!

Angela: No, I don't know why you're laughing.

Ginger: Hey, Hank. Give her a hint.

Hank: (pretending to be Angela) Tom! Tom! I love you so much! (kisses the air)

(Ginger and Hank laugh.)

Angela: (To Ben, angrily) Ben! How could you tell them?

Ben: I told you I can't keep a secret! (Tom arrives)

Tom: Dear Angela. Is what Ben said true? Do you... like me?

(Romantic music plays and a pink lighting effect is used.)

Angela: (chuckles) Yeah. I guess now you know. So?

(The pink lighting disappears and the music stops.)

Tom: I think you should leave.

Angela: Wh-what?!

Tom: Move to another city or something.

Angela: But wait!

Tom: Well we can't hang out as a group anymore.

(Ginger, Hank and Ben angrily circle Angela.)

Angela: Yes, we can. You guys, nothing has to change.

Ginger: (angrily) It already has changed. It feels so weird!

Angela: No, no, no, no! Don't say that!

Tom: Ginger's right. Having you around now would take away from our focus on work.

Angela: No, wait, you guys--

Hank: Yeah. Tom has to focus.

Angela: No, no, no, wait. Forget I said anything, okay?

(Beeping is heard.)

Tom: Too late, Angela. (slowly) Goodbye!

(Angela wakes up. She realizes that the confrontation was all a dream. The beeping was an alarm clock.)

Angela: That dream must've been a warning. (stops alarm) I have to make sure Ben keeps that secret!

(Theme song plays)

(Scene cuts to Angela outside the garage, preparing to enter.)

Angela: (to herself) Okay, Angela, you can do this. Just act like nothing happened. (opens door and enters) Hi, guys. Just popped in to say hello. No reason. Nothin' special. Guys? Hello?

(Nobody appears.)

Angela: (to herself) Okay, no need to panic. There could be lots of reasons why no one's here. Maybe they're all at the park.

(The sky turns to thunderstorm.)

Angela: Yeah, great day for the park.

(Ben is hiding in a hut made with stacked cardboard boxes.)

Ben: (tries to get Angela's attention) Psst, psst.

Angela: (gasps) Ben?

Ben: Angela! Are you alone?

(Scene cuts to Angela, who has entered into the box hut. The "door" closes.)

Angela: (to Ben) What are you doing in here?

Ben: I'm hiding from Tom so I don't tell him your stupid secret.

Angela: Oh, thank goodness. The important thing is, you didn't tell him my stupid secret.

Ben: Not yet, but I'm tired of living like this. So if you don't tell him today, I will.

Angela: No. But you... wait, are you kidding me? Can you imagine how bad things would get around here if Tom finds out?

(Scene shows a scenario in Ben's imagination of what would happen if Tom and Angela were open about their relationship. Tom pitches an idea to Ben.)

Tom: (wearing two hats) You know who should wear more hats? Hats. Why shouldn't a hat wear a hat? Well, now, it can, thanks to the revolutionary "hat on a hat."

Ben: That is the stupidest idea I've ever heard.

Angela: (gasps) Nobody talks to my man like that! All of his ideas are brilliant!

Tom: Thanks, Angela.

Angela: (hugs Tom) Oh, I love my sensitive genius. (kisses Tom)

(Another scenario is shown in Ben's imagination of him attempting to fix a device. He has one foot on a chair, one foot on the device, and a screwdriver in hand.)

Ben: Hey, Tom, can you come here?

(Tom is cuddling with Angela.)

Tom: In a minute. I'm a little busy right now.

Ben: You said that 3 hours and 35 minutes ago!

(Ben nearly falls off the chair.)

(A third scenario is shown. Tom and Ben were carrying a heavy box when Tom receives a call from Angela.)

Angela's Ringtone: (plays What's Not To Love)

Wa-ah-oh, wa-oh...

Tom: (gets out from under box and answers phone) Hey, sunshine! I was just thinking about you.

Angela: Can you come over after work?

Tom: I'll come over right now. (leaves)

(Ben struggles to carry the box on his own. The box crushes him.)

(Concludes scenario.)

Ben: Oh..

Angela: That's why, no matter what, you must keep the secret from Tom.

Ben: Yeah, but how?

Angela: I don't know. You're the smartest person I know. Think of something.

Ben: You think, because I'm a, well, brilliant inventor, that I can just build a machine to solve every problem? I'm sorry to tell you there's no device that can reach into someone's brain and erase a memory!

Angela: But, could you build one?

Ben: You mean a device that can reach into my brain and erase a memory? (gets an idea)

(Ben starts writing on a piece of paper. He then starts writing equations and scientific drawings on the boxes. He then knocks over the hut and writes on the brick wall.)

Ben: Eureka! Angela, You're right. I am the smartest guy you know.

(Scene cuts to CEO Tower. Tom starts a confessional in the elevator using the camera.)

Tom: (to the camera) I am so mad at Ben right now. I called him like a hundred times. He's probably at some nerd event looking at some geeky electrons and can't answer his phone, which is stressing me out, because today, we got a call from the CEO. Yeah. He called us,saying he wants to have a meeting with Tom and Ben Enterprises. And since there's no Ben, I have to go... with Hank.

Hank: (to the viewers) (holding sheets of paper) Hi. I have here all the smartest stuff that Ben has ever said. I'm ready to impress.

Tom: Great. What do ya got?

Hank: For example, (starts reading cards) "Hank, a computer is not a bath toy." "Hank, you can not smell a WiFi signal." "Some people, you just barge into the bathroom." "A computer is not a bath toy. How many times do I have to tell you?"

Tom: Yeah, I'll probably do most of the talking.

(The elevator door opens.)

(Scene shows Ginger watching a show on his tablet.)

Host: Welcome to the Creepy Conspiracies That Are True Channel. Today’s top story, brain suckers.

(Tablet shows an image of a woman appearing to suck the brains out of another person using a drinking straw.)

Host: Are they in your neighbourhood?

(Scene shows an image of a nanny appearing to suck the brains of another person using a vacuum cleaner.)

Host: Are they in your very house?

(Scene shows an image of a cloaked man spray painting graffiti on a wall.)

Host: Right now, an intergalactic force of brain suckers is roaming your streets.

(Scene returns to host.)

Host: Their aim? To find local geniuses and suck out their brains to steal their knowledge. I advise you to protect your brain knowledge with the only known defence against their technology: (takes out hat) a sturdy hat, made of a thin, metallic foil. (puts on hat)

Ginger: No way! I don't believe it!

Host: Still don't believe me? Look it up for yourself!

(Ginger looks up the topic on the internet.)

Ginger: (finds the topic on a video service and gasps) It's on the internet. That means it's true! I better warn everyone!

(Ginger gasps as his mom is vacuuming. He hides.)

Ginger: I just hope it's not too late.

(Scene cuts to Ginger running to the garage wearing a tin foil hat.)

(He opens the door. The head of a vacuum cleaner appears.)

(Ginger screams and hides in a taxi.)

(It is revealed that Angela is carrying a box of supplies. The vacuum cleaner was in the box and was sticking out.)

Angela: (to Ben) Why do we have to take all this junk to my place?

Ben: Because if anyone finds out that I'm making a device that can suck secrets out of my brain, they'll obviously want to know what secret I'm trying to suck out of my brain!

Ginger: The brain suckers already got to Ben and Angela?

(Scene cuts to Tom and Hank approaching the CEO's reception desk.)

Secretary: (files nails) Can I help you?

Tom: Uh, I hope. Your office called, so here we are.

Secretary: Name?

Tom: I'm Tom.

Secretary: Uh-huh.

Tom: From Tom and Ben Enterprises.

Secretary: (stops filing nails) Oh, ah, ah, oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't recognize you. (calls CEO) Mr. CEO, they're here.

CEO: (on phone) Excellent. (dismisses the meeting he is in) Alright, this meeting's over. Everybody out, all of you. Yeah, I'm talking to you, haircut. You too, pinch threat, game over. (to secretary) Alright, bring 'em right in and cancel the rest of my meeting today.

Secretary: Follow me, please!

(Tom and Hank enter the CEO's luxurious office. The CEO is using the imitation feature of the Talking Tom app.)

CEO: (to app) You are one handsome-looking guy.

App: (imitates CEO) You are one handsome-looking guy.

CEO: (laughs) Hey, my dear friends.

Tom: Hello, sir.

CEO: Which one of you is Tom and which one of you is Ben?

Tom: I'm Tom.

Hank: And I'm Ben today.

CEO: Oh, how could I forget you guys, after all the useless apps you pitch me?

Hank: He's got a good point.

Tom: Well, I wouldn't call them useless.

CEO: How 'bout like this?

(A montage of Ben's failed inventions play on a screen. The inventions shown include Assertive App, the Shockingly Secure Anti-theft App, the Germ Positioning System, Gilbert, the Future Tron 6000, the VR headset from Heatwave, the teleportation device from The Voice Switch, the Tortrimma from Angela the Cheerleader, the robotic face mask from The Famous Monster, and the portal from Parallel Universe.)

Tom: Oh, yeah, so that's, that is how you would define useless.

CEO: Why didn't you ever tell me about the Talking Tom app? (shows tablet)

App: (imitates CEO) Talking Tom app.

Tom: Because that app is mostly just me repeating what you say.

CEO: Exactly! That's why I love it!

App: (imitates CEO) That's why I love it!

Tom: (laughs) Yeah!

CEO: Check out what happens when I fire him. (to app) Talking Tom, you're fired!

App: (imitates CEO) You're fired!

CEO: (laughs) This thing is a blast! I've played this thing so much, I've missed breakfast, lunch and the secret meal rich people eat that we don't tell anyone about.

Hank: You mean brunch?

(record scratch)

CEO: How'd you know about brunch? I mean (chuckles nervously) let's talk business.

Hank: You want us to make a Talking CEO app.

CEO: No, smart guy, I just want to help your company grow!

Tom: And...

CEO: That's it, I don't want anything in return. Well, I like to hang out with smart people, so I want us to be friends. Will you be my friends?

Tom: (gasps) I don't know what to say!

(A pink sky appears.)

CEO: Great, that means yes! Okay, the first thing I'm going to do for you is introduce you tonight at the Tech Stars Conference.

Tom: (gasps) Did we just get invited to the most important tech conference in the world?

CEO: Oh, not just invited, you're going to be the featured speakers!

Tom: Well, all I can say is, thank you, Mr. CEO. (shakes hand)

CEO: Hey, call me Carl.

(Tom and Hank hug the CEO.)

Tom: Thank you, Carl. Thank you so much, Carl!

(The NPC on the Talking Tom app needs to use the bathroom.)

CEO: Oh, you poor guy! Sorry to keep you waiting like that! Gentlemen, if you'll excuse me, my Tom really needs to use the potty. (cradles tablet) (to app) And when you're done, we're going to play more games! Yes, we are!

App: (imitates CEO) Yes, we are.

(Scene cuts to Tom and Hank running home happy.)

Tom: Oh, yeah!

Hank: Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

(A strange figure is inside the garage.)

(Tom and Hank cheer.)

Tom: We are going to be tech tycoons! Oh yeah!

(Tom and Hank open the door. They continue to cheer when the door slams behind them. A bright light blasts.)

Tom: Oh!

Hank: Whoa, what is that? The sun?

Tom: Ben, is that you?

Figure: I'll ask the questions.
