Space Rescue/Transcript

[sentimental music playing]

[beeping]

Ben: [sighs] I know, bracelet. I'm banned from doing tech. I just like to look back sometimes and remember what this garage was like when it was full of amazing science. [rumbling] What in the name of the cosmos is going on out here?!

Tom: Check it out.

Ben: Ohh!

Tom: I won a contest where the prize is going to space to write my name on the sun! [Ben gasps] Goes to show, if you mail in enough cereal box tops, good things can happen.

Hank: Yeah, I won a yoyo that way once. Welcome to the victory club, buddy! Ohh!

Angela: Is this really something a contest can give away? The sun belongs to everybody.

Tom: Angela, don't get caught up in the details. What's important is... that is a spaceship and I am going in it.

Ginger: Tom, take me with you! Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please!

Tom: [sighs] Here. You can borrow my special new high-tech astronaut watch.

Ginger: Yeah!

Tom: Which I also won. Man, this is a good contest!

Ginger: Wow!

Angela: Tom, be careful out there!

Tom: I'll be fine. It's only space.

[engines whoosh]

[screams]

Tom: Woo-hoo!

Ben: [sighs] Well, he's having a nice Thursday.

-[beeping] -[all gasp]

Ginger: Why is my watch beeping?

CEO: Hello, Tom!

Angela/Ben/Ginger/Hank: The CEO?!

CEO: Wait, you're not Tom. Did I call the wrong watch?

Ginger: No! I borrowed this from Tom because he went to stupid space!

CEO: He did? He really fell for it?

Ben: Yes. Apparently he... Wait. Fell for it? What's going on?

CEO: Oh, not much. Except I set up a fake contest and tricked Tom into thinking he won it. I just blasted my greatest enemy off this planet forever! What a wonderful Thursday!

[evil laughter]

[cheering]

Angela: You bring my boyfriend back right now, CEO!

CEO: Why would I do that? With Tom gone, I'm finally free to do whatever business I want. I could make a mind-control TV. Or make food only available to people who work for me! I should write this down. I'm burning through ideas.

Angela: Grrr! He cannot get away with this! We have to save Tom!

Ben: Right, and I know how to do it. Mmm! I'll construct a satellite to find Tom and then connect it to a magnetic lasso. Technology can... [zapping] Aaarrrgh! [groans] Oh, right. My anti-tech bracelet is gonna be a problem here.

Angela: Seriously? How did you not get rid of that thing by now?!

Ben: I tried! It can't be removed.

Ginger: But if the bracelet won't let Ben make the Tom-saving machine, does that mean Tom... can't be saved?

[Angela roars]

Angela: YOU'RE JUST JEWELLERY! [frantic beeping] JEWELLERY IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE THE WORLD BETTER!

-[zapping] -[screams]

-[beeping laughter]

Ben: What are you doing?

Hank: It's too bad we can't make friends with the bracelet. Then it would understand how important it was to save our other friend. But you must've already tried that. Sorry for bringing up an idea you already tried, everybody.

Ben: Actually... we haven't tried that idea. Hmm. Maybe instead of fighting the bracelet, we should become friends with it.

Angela: Let's do it. But we have to hurry. Tom must be so scared right now.

Tom: Woo-hoo! Yeah! [laughs] [camera shutter clicking] [laughter] Oh, yeah. This is profile pic material, for sure! Woo! Working up a sweat. Didn't know space was so warm.

Ben: Okay, bracelet, let's get friendly.

Ginger: First thing to know about being a friend is, friends play games together. I'm gonna kick this ball and you try to block it. -[beeping]

Ginger: Ready? -[beeping]

Ow!

[all] Aww!

Hank: That's not very friendly.

[beeping laughter]

Angela: When I think of friends, I think of makeovers. Bracelet, get ready for a friendship makeover. Oh, that's... And that is... Okay, and try this. Perfect. And... ta-da!

-[all] Wow! -[angry beeping]

Argh! What?

Ginger: Huh?

Hank: Ooh!

Hank: D'oh!

Hank: For me, the best part of friendship is just being silly together. And there's no better place to do that than a photo booth.

-[laughter] -[shutter clicking]

[squelching]

-[groaning] -[bracelet chuckles]

Ben: This is ridiculous! There must be something... YEEOW!!!

Hank: I don't know if I even wanna be friends with that thing. That bracelet is a bully.

Ginger: Well, we have to do something! My astronaut watch says Tom is getting further and further in space! Look!

[excited beeping]

[whistling]

[whistles]

Angela: Wait a minute. I don't speak evil technology, but I know what that sound means. Ben's bracelet has a crush on Ginger's watch!

Ginger: [gasps] What?! Ah, come on!

Angela: Listen up, boys.

Ginger: Aww!

Angela: I have a plan.

-[shutter clicks]

Tom: Look at all this space stuff. Oh, I gotta send these pictures to Angela. She'll be so jealous. Uh... Where is the "Call Earth" button? Ah-ha! Huh? -mOh! Wait, wait.. Wh-- What is going on?

CEO: Strange, right? [laughs evilly]

Tom: CEO? What are you doing here?

CEO: I already told your friends, but I like saying it, so... You didn't win a contest!

Tom: What?!

CEO: You got tricked by me. Now you have to live in space! [cackles]

Tom: You took advantage of my trust of free things that come in the mail?! That's low, even for you!

CEO: Maybe, but it all worked out perfectly. Except you gave away your fancy watch, so I had to come out here and mark you in person. Still, that's not going to mess up my plan.

Tom: Yeah, well, that's what you think! I'm coming over there to take over your ship.

[cackles]

CEO: Oh, my, that didn't help you at all. You just pointed yourself directly at the sun. [cackles]

Tom: Oh, no!

-[romantic music playing] -[flirtatious beeping]

Ginger: I really don't like this, guys.

Hank: Quiet, Ginger. This isn't about you. It's about your watch. Are they hitting it off? Whaddya think, Angela?

Angela: I'm not sure, but it's time to find out. Ginger!

Ginger: Huh! I had a lot of fun being friends with you. But I have to go home now so I can move to another country. Nice knowing you.

Hank: Ginger! Surely we'll see you again?

Ginger: Nope. This is the last time you'll ever see me, or any of my things. Like my bike, or my helmet, or my cool astronaut watch.

[mournful beeping]

Ben: I know, bracelet, it's sad.

Hank: Move on. You and the watch are from two different worlds.

Ben: He's right. The only way you could be with that watch was if you got off my wrist. So what can you do?

[rapid beeping]

Ben: Aw!

Ginger: Eugh!

Bracelet: Goodbye, friend.

[stutters]

Ben: That thing can... talk?

Angela: Yeah, we did it. Now get inventing. Go, go, go!

Ben: QWERTY, U, I, O, P, left bracket, right bracket... WE'RE BACKSLASH, BABY!!!

Tom: Oh...

CEO: Okay, Tom. It's been nice knowing you, but this is as close to the sun as I'm willing to get. I'm sweating through my suit.

[sighs deeply]

Tom: I'm sorry, Angela. I always knew I'd go out like this.

[ragged breath]

[clang]

Ben: Hey, Tom!

Tom: Ben, is that you?

Ben: We thought you could use some help.

CEO: What's going on?! It's not fair! NOOOOOOOO!!!!

[grunting with effort]

Ben: Keep cranking! We've got him!

[Angela yells]

Ben: Wait! What happened? Did we lose him? Argh!

Hank: No!

Ginger: Tom?

-[panting]

Angela: Tom! Oh, it's so good to see you again!

Tom: It's good to see you too. But I don't get it. Who built this machine? I know it couldn't have been Ben.

Ben: It sure could have been. And it was! All it took was my amazing science genius and a bit of friendship.

Tom: Nice! No bracelet.

[all talking at once]
