Embarrassing Memories/Transcript

Cold Open
[The episode begins with Tom Angela Ben and Hank in the garage]

Angela: What is this junk?

Tom: This junk, is this most mind-blowingly cool idea I've ever come up with.

Ben: And the most mind-blowingly cool machine I've ever made.

Hank: Wow! And you made look just like that junky VHS player we found in the alley behind the abandoned video store. What are the odds?

Ben: (angry) Well, it is! But thanks to my intricate modifications it's now a high-tech gadget the allows you to rewind the very fabric of time, and travel back to the past!

Tom: It's called, the time rewinder!

Hank: Can it still play old video tapes?

Ben:Of course it can)

Tom: Duh!

Hank: Mind blown.

Angela: Ooh, let's try it! I wanna go back in time and meet Cleopatra. I would love to borrow one of her snake arm bands.

Ben: Well, there's not enough room on this tape to record that much history. But I do have the last few years of our lives on here. (clears throat) Allow me to demonstrate.

Ben 1: Stop!

[Everyone shouts in surprise]

Ben 1: Whatever you do, do not press the rewind button!

Ben: Who are you?

Ben 1: I'm you from the future. A mistake you made on the tape loading roller, caused severe problems in the future.

Ben 2: WRONG! ALL WRONG! I'm you from the future's future, and I've come to fix your boneheaded mistake.

Ben 3: You're all wrong! (exasperated gasp) Am I the only future Ben who understands quantum mechanics?

General Ben: Out of the way, dummies! General Ben is here!

Angela: Ok, this is just confusing now.

Tom: Ben...

Ben: Uh-uh, Ben Prime...

Tom: (nervous laugh) Can I have a word with you?

General Ben: (stutters) Don't touch that button!

(Ben 1-4 argue)

Tom: I'm sorry, I've changed my mind, this thing should not exist., but I've come up with an idea. We have to go back in time to before I came up with this idea, and make sure that I never come up with this idea.

Ben: I don't know Tom, with all the adjustments these Bens made, the rewinder might be too dangerous now.

General Ben: No, no and no! You've all made a mess of things!

Tom: I think that's a chance we'll have to take. Out of the way, step back.

General Ben: What? Wait-

(Tom and Ben get sucked through time)

Angela: Uh-

Ben 1: Oh!

Angela: What?

Ben 5: Halt! I- (coughs) I am from the futurest future of all.

Hank: You're late.

Angela's Secret
News person: We interrupt with breaking news. The Banana Berry Bandit has struck again-

(Everyone gasps)

Ginger: Um, guys?

Tom: Hold on, Ginger.

- The Banana Berry Bandit could be anyone. It could be your friend. Or your girlfriend.

Ginger: Guys, seriously!

Tom: What is so important that you had to- Whaaat?-

(Camera pans to presumed stolen fruits)

- Oh no! Do you realise what this means?

(Tom Prime and Ben Prime travel to this moment)

Tom Prime: Wow, it worked!

Ben Prime: Of course it worked, give me that!

Tom Prime: Where are we? This isn't the garage. (gasps) We're in Angela's apartment!

Tom: Let's not jump to conclusions, for all we know, this could be one big coincidence!

Ben: You're absolutely right, Tom. I'm sure this isn't what it looks like.

Tom: Who are we kidding, Ben? Angela's the Banana Berry Bandit, we all know it.

Ginger: So where are you guys gonna go when we run from the law?

Tom: No one's running from anything. Angela is our friend, we cannot just hand her over to the police.

Tom Prime: No, no no no no no. This isn't far back enough, Ben. I thought about the time rewinder way before this uh, um, m-misunderstanding.

Ben Prime: I know, I know, but look, we can't make it that far back in one rewind. Now stay low so we don't see us while this thing cools down.

Tom Prime: How could we ever think that Angela was a thief?

Tom: Look, even if she is guilty, we have to help her.

Ben: And how are we supposed to do that?

(loud knocking)

Hank: Who could that be?

- Federal Agent!

Hank: What are we gonna do? Head guess, terrified-

Tom Prime: Hey, you wanna know what? This is really awkward so I'm just gonna, you know I mean, as long as we're here-

Ben Prime: Don't disturb anything! We don't know what effect it might have on our future!

Tom Prime: It'll only take a second.

Ben Prime: No! Tom!

Federal Agent: Did someone say "Let yourself in"? Maybe I should just go.

Ginger: He's seen too much!

(everyone fights)

Federal Agent: That's a Federal Offense!

(Hank jumps in)

Tom Prime: Hey everyone, I've come from the future to save us from a-

(muffled sounds)

Ben Prime: Ha, ha, ha, ha, hey everybody! Don't listen to this Tom! Everything's fine, and normal, and in the present!

(Tom and Ben get sucked through time)

Hank: Uh... Hm. (jumps back into fight)

In the Time Portal
Ben: Tom, you can't do stuff like that! Even embarassing events from the past may be crucial to preserving the timeline we live in.

Tom: Yeah, ok, I get that now.
