Future Tron/Transcript

[The episode begins with Tom and Ben sitting at a convention]

MC: Aw, yeah! Does anybody in the house like... technology?!

Ben: Oh I do, I do.

MC: Then let me officially welcome you... to the first annual Con-Compu-Con-Con-Con-Con!

Tom: Wait, what did he say?

Ben: Connected Computer Continually Conceptualized Conference and Convention.

Tom: Oh, the Con-Compu-Con-Con-Con-Con!

MC: Who’s ready to have a good time?! Now let me hear the ladies!

Tom: Oh my...

Ben: They’ll be here.

(Cuts To Theme Song)

MC: And now, please welcome, our guests of honor... Steve Hobbs and Steve Bosniak!

Steve Hobbs: - Good to see you guys! Hey folks! Good to see this guy!

Steve Bosniak: - Look at him!

(Steve Hobbs and Steve Bosniak Both saying their own names)

Ben: The two biggest tech developers on the planet!

Tom: And they’re best friends who…

Ben: Started out in a garage! Just like…

Tom and Ben: Us

Steve Hobbs: As you probably know, the first computer was a useless box. It had a lot of potential, but we had no way to access it.

Steve Bosniak: Then late one night, Steve and I were sharing a soda pop in the garage when suddenly, it hit us.

Steve Hobbs: I said, “Bozz, what if there was a way to turn this computer on?”

Steve Bosniak: Then I said, “What if there was a way to turn this computer off?”

Steve Hobbs: Six years and a lot of sleepless nights and a ton of R&D later, we had it: the computer on-off switch.

Ben: Fun fact: It was originally called the off-on switch.

Steve Hobbs: And we did it by following the Pyramid of Friendship.

Ben: They really are just like us!

Tom: We’ve gotta sneak backstage and introduce ourselves!

Ben: Definitely! You read my...

Tom: Diary!

Ben: Wait, what?

Tom: Great hiding spot! I can’t wait to see their faces when they find out we snuck backstage to meet them!

Ben: Yes, famous people love when fans jump out at them! Are they here yet?

Tom: I can’t see, there’s two guys blocking my view.

Steve Bosniak: Who are you guys ?

Ben: Sorry. We’re huge fans.

Tom: We wanted to ask if you had any secret advice that you might not tell an audience but you’d tell two young inventor friends working out of a garage?

Ben: If that rings a bell...

Steve Hobbs: Oh, I get it. You two think you’re just like us. You think you’re me. And you think you’re Bosniak.

Steve Bosniak: Wait a minute, why is that guy me? Why can’t I be the other guy?

Steve Hobbs: Oh, come on, Steve. It doesn’t matter who’s who.

Steve Bosniak: Of course it doesn’t matter, because you get to be that guy! I am so sick of this whole thing!

Tom: Whoa, whoa. What about the Pyramid of Friendship?

Steve Bosniak: Thanks for the reminder.

Steve Hobbs: No Steve, I just wanted to say... Becoming your partner was the worst decision I ever made! You ruined my life!

Steve Bosniak: No, you ruined my life!

Steve Hobbs: Steve you drive me crazy! - I'm done! I’ve had it!

* Angela Singing*

Ginger: Can you keep it down? I can’t hear myself playing!

Angela: Ginger, the world doesn’t revolve around you.

Ginger: No. No, it doesn’t... Not yet anyway...

Angela: I’m trying to write a new song. A smart song! One that will make people think! What rhymes with “dance, dance, dance"?

Hank: Educational grants? Eleph-ants? Romance?

Angela: That is it! I like to dance, dance, dance! Educational grants, grants, grants! It practically writes itself!

Ben: If we are just like Hobbs and Bosniak, we’re gonna end up hating each other just like they do!

Tom: Calm down, buddy. We don’t know that for sure.

Ben: But we don’t not know that for sure either!

Tom: Oh no... you’re right. What if the future is locked in and we aren’t destined to be friends forever?

Tom and Ben: To the Future Tron!

Ben: The Future Tron is an app I’ve been working on that uses metadata to show the future.

Tom: And I came up with the name! Future Tron 6000! Hurry Up

Ben: Turn this on and Put that in there and… Hold on tight! (Ben in the future) Thank you! It’s an honor to receive the Tech Star of the Year Award! (Ben back in the present) Hey, we’re really successful in the future! And we’re still best friends! (Ben back in the future) This is a truly remarkable moment for me and the person who inspires me... I’m talking about the man upstairs! My boss, the CEO! The man who said to me, “Ben, you don’t need a partner, you can be successful all on your own!” Do me a favor - throw this in the limo with the rest of my trophies. And bring me a coffee when you come back.

Tom: I’m sick of this! We were supposed to be partners and now you just take all the credit!

Ben: That’s because I do all the work!

Tom: Oh yeah? Well work on this! You ruined my life!

Ben: No, you ruined my life.

Tom: It’s even worse than Hobbs and Bosniak! You’re successful and I’m not!

Ben: That’s not a surprise. The scary thing is we weren’t friends in the future!

Tom: How could this happen?!

Ben: It must be that our future friendship is ruined because our current friendship isn’t strong enough...

Tom: Tell me there’s a way to fix this!

Ben: Maybe… no it’s too crazy…

Tom: What is it?

Ben: We have to engage in one-on-one friendship building activities with music playing in the background.

Hank: Oh boy! A friendship montage! All the best sitcoms have them!

(Friendship montage starts playing of Tom and Ben having fun)

Tom and Ben: Yep! Still best friends!

Ginger: What are you two ding-dongs doing? Get back to work!

Tom: Sorry Mr. Ginger.

Ben: Yes, sir, Mr. Ginger!

Ginger: Don’t apologize, I should really thank you two. You were so focused on your friendship that you completely mismanaged your company and had to sell it to me.

Angela: Sir? You’re late for your two o’clock.

Ginger: Now if you excuse me, I have a meeting with a giant pile of money.

Angela: Don’t forget to laugh maniacally, Mr. Ginger.

Ginger: Oh, thank you, Angela.

(Ginger Laughing in the Future) (Ginger Laughing In The Present)

Ben: I don’t believe this!

Tom: The future where we’re friends was even worse than the future where we weren’t friends!

Ben: I don’t even know where to start this time!

Tom: I do.

Honestly, I can’t believe you let this happen, Ben.

Ben: Me?! Let what happen?

Tom: You ruined our business!

Ben: I was trying to save our friendship!

Tom: Well, friendship doesn’t pay the bills, Ben!

Angela: Alright, break it up! Don’t you see? You’re arguing about things that haven’t

even happened yet! You’re letting the Future Tron drive you apart in the present.

Ben: She’s right. Look at what we’re doing.

Tom: But what are we supposed to do? Just sit on the couch, watch TV,

and not think about anything except how good our cereal tastes?

Hank: The crumbs have the same taste as the big pieces!

Ben: The future were we all live like Hank. What would that even look like?

Tom: Hey guys, let's try not to forget, we have to go to our book signing tonight.

Ben: Right. Should we take the supersonic jet or the helicopter?

Tom: Let’s compromise and take the supersonic heli-jet.

Ben: That’s why you’re the idea man!

Tom: Angela! Great to see you!

Angela: Great to see you, Tom.

And you, Ben.

And especially you, honey!

Hank: I missed you more! It’s not easy to go a whole morning without seeing the

best wife in the universe!

Oh Hank.

* Tom shouting Noooooo*

Tom: No-no-no-no-no! No-no-no!

Ben: What are you doing?!

Tom: I’ll tell you what I’m doing. I’m doing you a favor! I’m doing all of us a favor!

Everything we did to make the future better just ended up ruining the

present and it didn’t even make the future better!

Ben: I think I know what you’re saying here... we need to create a

Future Tron 6001.

Tom: No! Enough is enough! Maybe we can make the future better,

maybe we can’t, but let’s all just enjoy today.

No more trying to change the future.

Angela: So now what do we do?

Hank: Well, sometimes on TV shows, after the characters learnt their lesson,

the final scene is just dancing and celebrating.

Ben: Really? A big dance scene that just comes out of nowhere?

Tom: That seems a bit ridiculou...

* All start dancing*

* Talking Tom and Friends Ending Credits Start Playing*
