Parallel Universe/Transcript

Ben: Reason number eleven that you aren’t allowed to touch my stuff while I’m gone - some of it is extremely dangerous!

Tom: Oh, Ben, just stop. Okay. No one is gonna mess with your nerd equipment. And by the way, trying to scare us with talk of “danger” wouldn’t work anyway.

Hank: Yeah, Danger is my middle name!

Ginger: It is?

Hank: No, it’s Hank.

Angela: Wait, your name is Hank Hank?

Hank: Yeah, except in France where it’s Honk-Honk. (Imitating honking a horn)

Ben: Reason number twelve you aren’t allowed to touch my stuff while I’m gone - a little thing called respect!

Angela: Wow, I have to go! I have that thing. At the place. Gotta run. (Leaving The room)

Ginger: Whoa, can’t believe I almost forgot about that thing at the place! (Leaving The Room)

Hank: I can’t think of a fake excuse, so I’m just gonna go over there.

Tom: Ben, buddy. Just go, alright. I’ve got everything under control.

Ben: But you guys stopped me right before reason thirteen, that seems like it might be a bad omen...

Tom: Oh, come on. Just trust me, now go. Go go go go! shu, shu. (Pushing Ben out of the door)

Tom: He really thinks we’d mess with his stuff? Really? Huh? (Ripping off a sticky note on Ben's invention only to find more and more) What? Hey! Huh! Oh, no! I’m close to touching something. And if I do, who knows what terrible thing might happen. (Begins to walk away, portal opens behind him sucking him closer to it) Oh-oh.

(Theme Song)

Tom: No! No! (Gets sucked into portal) This is really dark.

Nerd Tom: This is really dark.

Tom: Wait, who are you?

Nerd Tom: Who am I? Who are you?

Tom: Ahhhhhhhhh! (Tom falls into the parallel universe) Oof! Geez, ouff.

Pop star Hank: Oh yeah? Well you’ll just have to tell the record company that I will

Tom: Hank!

Pop star Hank: only do the world tour if I start in Antarctica. My penguin fanbase is very important to me!

Cool Ben: Don’t worry, Tom!

Tom:  Ben?

Cool Ben: Nobody touched your nerdy science things while you were gone.

Tom: My science things?

Slacker Angela: Hey, come chill with me, amigo. (Sitting on Couch)

Tom: Angela!

Slacker Angela: A new episode of McGillicuddy & Bongo is starting!

Tom: McGillicuddy & Bongo? Don’t you mean Bongo & McGillicuddy?

(Nerd Tom In the regular dimension)

Nerd Tom: Oh, a camera, great. It seems I’ve been transported through a wormhole to a parallel universe. This looks like my normal residence, but everything is reversed. The strangeness is alarming, so I will approach the problem rationally and remain calm.

Tom: (Running Around) I am freaking out! What am I gonna do?! I’m stuck in some sort of bizaro world! You people are my friends, but you’re not my friends!

Slacker Angela: Oh, Buddy, relax. I’m still Angela, TV-loving couch potato!

Pop star Hank: And I’m still Honk Honk, the world’s next biggest pop star!

Cool Ben: And I’m still Ben, cool frontman of Ben and Tom Enterprises!

Tom: Cool?! Then that means... I’m...

Cool Ben: You’re Tom! The nerd!

(Tom Passes out)

Ben: Tom fainted again.

Ginger: So, wait a minute, You’re saying...

Nerd Tom: Yes.

Angela: And if you’re here, then our Tom is…

Nerd Tom: Yes.

Hank: And the opposite of no is...

Nerd Tom: Yes.

Ginger: How do we know you’re not the real Tom?

Nerd Tom: The glasses?

Ginger: Awww.

Angela: This could be some kind of April Fool’s Day prank.

Nerd Tom: Aha!. But it’s not even April.

Angela: Yeah, then we’d never expect it, okay? I’m onto you.

Nerd Tom: I happen to be an expert on comedy, so I’d come up with something very funny if that was my goal... Example, why did the keynote speaker at the science conference cross the road?

Ginger: Why?

Nerd Tom: To get to the other... slide! ...Hahaha...slide.

Ben: Hey! Who’s stealing my jokes!?

Cool Ben: So you’re saying, in your universe, you’re the cool one?

Tom: Exactly!

Pop star Hank: (Sitting on the couch playing the guitar) La la la la...

Cool Ben: Whatever man, I don’t see it... But, who cares? Welcome to our universe, cool Tom!

Tom: Yeah, thanks!

Slacker Angela: Dude, this calls for a celebration.

Pop star Hank: Cool.

Good Ginger: Is everything OK, chums?

Tom: Ha ha, uh, Ginger is that you?

Slacker Angela: This is New Tom. He’s like a cool Tom from a parallel universe!

Good Ginger: Welcome. Had I known we had a special guest, I’d have cooked a special dinner!

Pop star Hank: I say we order milkshakes!

Slacker Angela: No, let’s order pizza!

Pop star Hank: No way. Milkshakes!

Tom: Guys, guys, guys, there’s no need to fight. We can just order both.

Slacker Angela: Wait, what?

Pop star Hank:  Both?

Tom: Yeah, we’ll just order pizza and milkshakes.

Pop star Hank: Mind blown.

Cool Ben: Whoa, looks like we’ve got a problem solver in the house.

Good Ginger: This is gonna be amazing! I’ll go pick everything up. My treat! No, no, I insist.

Pop star Hank:  Your treeeeat!

Slacker Angela: Yaay!

Cool Ben: Cool!

Tom:  Hey Ginger, you wanna grab some candy while you’re out too?

Good Ginger: Well, I don’t eat candy. But I’ll gladly get some for you!

Tom: This is so weird.

Cool Ben: Sure is great to have you here, but are you sure your friends won’t miss you back in your universe?

Tom: Are you kidding? It sounds like your Nerd Tom is like our Nerd Ben, so I’m sure they’re having a great time together!

Ben: I’m in charge of the rescue mission!

Nerd Tom: I am trying to help!

Ben: Okay, here’s the plan. We all have to do our parts perfectly if we want this rescue mission to work. Otherwise we may never get our Tom back and we’ll be stuck with this monster!

Nerd Tom: Who are you calling a monster? I’ll have you know in my universe I am a well-respected man of science!

Ben: Maybe your universe is dumb.

Nerd Tom: Don’t you dare talk about my universe like that!

Ginger: Enough! Let’s just hurry up and rescue Tom so you two will never have to see each other again.

Ben: Fine with me!

Nerd Tom: Fine with me, too!

Angela: I just hope we’re not too late.

Hank: Yeah, if things are bad here, it must be terrible over there for Tom!

(Meanwhile at parallel universe)

All: (Having a party with pizza and milkshakes) Best! Day! Ever!

Cool Ben: New Tom, I think I speak for everyone when I say, you’re the coolest guy we’ve ever met in any universe!

Tom: Oh, man.

Pop star Hank: He’s right, Tom, things have been way more fun with you here!

Good Ginger: We haven’t gotten any work done, but spending quality time with your friends is also important!

Slacker Angela: Hey, you guys, McGillicuddy & Bongo is starting!

Tom: Oh, okay. (Walks with Angela to the couch)

(Montage of the gang in the normal universe training to save Tom.)

(Hank does push ups, Ben explains the plan, the gang jogs, the gang jumps off of the roof onto a bed. Ben opens the portal, but the gang is exhausted.)

(Back in parallel universe, Tom and Slacker Angela are watching McGillicuddy and Bongo)

(On TV)McGillicuddy: You ready to do this, Bongo?

Bongo: Eeeh oooh!

McGillicuddy: Quick, hand me that banana. Okay, pull over.

(Slacker Angela is giggling at Tom and getting closer to him, Tom puts his hand around her and Angela jumps out of the portal and see's them)

Angela: Tom?! What’s going on?

Tom: Angela, have you met you?

Slacker Angela: Dude!

(Ben, Hank, and Ginger jump out of the Portal)

Ben: Let’s move, people! Go go go!

Hank: Wait, wait, wait, McGillicuddy can talk?

Pop star Hank: Of course McGillicuddy can talk! Don’t you ever watch TV

Good Ginger: Would you care for a fresh-picked carrot?

Ginger: I’ll skip the carrots, but you know would I would like to eat...?

Slacker Angela: So like, you’re me?

Angela: Sh! I don’t want to hear it. I saw what you were doing.

Ben: We’re gonna get you out of this! (Dragging Tom)

Tom: I don’t want to go. I don’t want to go. I don’t want to go.

Ben: This is for your own good.

Cool Ben: What’s going on, New Tom?

(Ben Pushes Cool Ben away)

Tom: Oh no. I have to stay here. This Angela likes me.

Ben: Angela, Hank, Ginger! Get back into the wormhole now.

Ben: This is for your own good.

Tom: You can’t make me. -

Ben: You’re going home! (Ben and Tom gets sucked back into the portal. Angela jumps back into portal)

Ginger: Whoa, candy! (Ginger gets sucked into

Good Ginger: Just promise me you’ll brush and floss every day.

Ginger: Wait, noooooooo! Whoa No No! My candyyyyy!

(Ginger gets sucked into portal before he grabs the candy)

Hank: Let it go, Ginger. That candy wasn’t meant to be...

Tom: Ben, how could you?! Didn't you see me and the other Angela.

Angela: Listen, I saw you and that fake Angela! And I don’t like what I saw!

Tom: Wait a minute, why do you care so much about me and that other Angela?

Angela: Uh... I don’t care. Who said I cared? Not me.

Tom: It seems like you care a little.

Angela: I don’t wanna talk about it. Okay? Gotta go. Bye.

Tom: I wanna talk about it!

Ben: Everything is back to normal.

Nerd Tom: (Coming out of the bathroom) You guys, I’m ready for the big rescue mission. well I see you forgot about me. So typical of you, Ben. You see this is why I should’ve been in charge of this project.

Ben: Okay, that’s it! (Pushes Nerd Tom into portal) Time to close this thing for good!

Ginger: Noooooo! (Trying to jump into portal before it closes)

(Portal closes and Ginger lands on the table)

Ginger: Nooooooo!
