Embarrassing Memories/Transcript

Cold Open
(The episode begins with Tom, Angela, Ben, and Hank in the garage.)

Angela: What is this junk? (referring to a VHS tape)

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: 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 videotapes?

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 from the future appears.)

Ben 1: Stop!

[Everyone shouts in surprise]

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

Ben: Who are you?

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

(Another Ben appears.)

Cool Ben: Wrong! All wrong! I'm you from the future's future, and I've come to fix your boneheaded mistake.

(Another Ben appears in the "cleaner" outfit from The Germinator)

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

(Another Ben appears in the "general" outfit from Parallel Universe.)

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?

(Tom and Ben leave.)

(One of the Bens attempt to press the button.)

General Ben: Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh. Don't press that button!

(All four Bens 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. (Tom pushes away the Bens and takes the Time Rewinder.) Out of the way, step back.

Ben Prime: What? Wait-

(Tom hits the button, transporting him and Ben to another time.)

Angela: Uhh...

Scientist Ben: Oh!

Angela: What?

(An elderly Ben appears.)

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

Hank: You're late.

(theme song)

Angela's Secret
(Scene cuts to Angela's apartment during the events of Angela's Secret.)

Reporter: We interrupt with breaking news. The Banana Berry Bandit has struck again!

(everyone gasps)

(Ginger is in the kitchen.)

Ginger: Um, guys?

Tom: (stutters) Hold on, Ginger.

Reporter: 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 (spots kitchen) Whaaat?!

(The cabinets are full of fruit, to which the friends assume were stolen.)

Tom: Oh no! Do you realize what this means?

(Tom Prime and Ben Prime appear in the bedroom.)

Tom Prime: Wow, it worked!

Ben Prime: Of course it worked, give me that! (takes VHS from Tom)

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?

Man at Door: Federal agent!

Hank: "What are we going to do?" Hank asked, terrified.

Tom: Destroy the evidence!

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?" (sees friends destroying evidence) Maybe I should just go.

Ginger: (gasps) He's seen too much!

(The friends attack the "federal agent.")

Federal Agent: That's a federal offense!

(Hank jumps on the "federal agent.")

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

(Ben Prime covers Tom Prime's mouth.)

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 travels further back in time.)

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

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

Tom: Yeah, okay, I get that now.

Ghost Pirate Hunting
(Scene cuts to garage during events of Ghost Pirate Hunting.)(crickets chirping)

(mysterious music)

Hank: Ginger, what does the ghost sonar say?

Ginger: It says there's something this way. It must be Bigbeard.

Hank: Okay, but be on the lookout. Whenever Jack Sauna thinks the ghost is in front of him, something happens right behind-

(Hank knocks over a stool, causing him and Ginger to shoot random locations.)

Ben Prime: Quick! Over here!

(yells)

Hank: Bigbeard, be gone ye from this cursed home!

Ben Prime: Now, just a few more rewinds, and we'll be able to make sure you never even thought of this thing.

Tom Prime: Hey Ben, remember that time we told Hank and Ginger a ghost story, so they'd be too scared to touch your computer while we were gone. (chuckles) Yeah, that's happening right now.

Ben Prime: Yeah, sure I remember, but we scared them so much they ended up destroying my computer. (spots computer and gasps) My computer! It's not ruined yet! I can save it. (starts walking to computer)

Tom Prime: Ben, no! Don't do it!

(Ben knocks over the kayak.)

Ben Prime: Oops.

Ginger: Let's do this. No ghost is gonna outsmart us!

(The kayak crashes.)

Ginger: (screams) Bigbeard, we're sorry we touched Ben's computer, but we're not really pirates okay? You get it right?

(Hank and Ginger scream.)

Hank: Pirates!

(Hank and Ginger start firing their guns)

Hank: You aim high, I'll aim low.

(zapping)

Ginger: I'm aiming everywhere!

Tom Prime: You're doing exactly what you told me not to do.

Ben Prime: This is different. We can save an innocent computer.

(Ben struggles to pull the computer off the desk.)

Tom Prime: Ben.

(Ginger hears the computer moving.)

Ginger: What was that?

(The computer knocks over.)

Ginger: Big Beard!

(Ginger shoots the computer. The computer explodes.)

Ben Prime: No!

Tom Prime: Quick, get in the bathroom!

(Ginger chuckles)

(Tom and Ben enter the bathroom. Tom shuts the door.)

Tom Prime: Okay, that's it. Something weird is happening, Ben. I think we're messing with the past too much.

Ben Prime: (writes on mirror) "Pleased to haunt you." (chuckles)

Tom Prime: Ben, why would you do that?

Ben Prime: Those two deserve to be really scared for what they did to my computer.

Tom Prime: Ben, from now on, we don't do anything that could change our timeline. Got it?

Ben Prime: Yes, definitely. From now on.

(Tom and Ben travel through time. The other Bens appear.)

General Ben: (frustrated yell) We just missed them.

Old Ben: Just missed 'em.

(All Bens travel through time.)

Blanket Fort
(Tom appear on the garage balcony during the events of Blanket Fort.)

(horse whinnying)

Tom Prime: Oh, I remember this. It's when they built that fort.

Ben Prime: Oh yeah, but this wasn't the fun part. Uh, let's keep it going.

Tom Prime: No, wait, this is the part where they-

Ginger: Pour the oil!

Hank: Pouring!

(Hank pours oil on Ben.)

Ben: Olive oil? I've had it with this stupid fort.

(Ben slips on oil.)

(Tom Prime laughs)

Ben Prime: (groans) Stupid-

(Tom and Ben travel further in time.)

The Famous Monster
(Scene cuts to Tom during events of The Famous Monster.)

Tom: Okay, someone give me an emotion, and I will perform that emotion to you.

Angela: Jealousy!

Hank: Whimsical!

Ginger: You're tired, because you've been walking- (cut off)

(Tom Prime and Ben Prime appear.)

Tom Prime: Now why would you stop there?

Ben Prime: Um...

Hank: No, four layers is too much acting for anyone!

(Tom's face freezes.)

Tom: Acting?

(Tom Prime sighs)

Ben Prime: (chuckles) Okay, now we're even.

(Tom and Ben travel in time.)

Big Ben
(scene cuts to comedy club during the events of Big Ben.)

Ben: So I said, uranium, more like, my anium, huh? Am I right?

(rimshot)

Ben Prime: (laughs) If I wasn't me, I'd be my biggest fan.

Tom Prime: Yeah, we gotta go.

Ben Prime: Hold on! One more joke!

Ben: Bromine. (chuckles) Right bro? Mean? Cadmium? (chuckles) I just met him.

(Ben Prime laughs.)

Tom Prime: Wow, even worse the second time.

Ben Prime: I'm hilarious, I really am.

Tom Prime: Ben, we have to rewind faster. Try the double speed rewind.

Ben Prime: No way, Tom! This is 80's technology. No one's tested the double speed rewind in 30 years!

Tom Prime: Let's just try it!

(Tom and Ben fight over the rewinder.)

Tom Prime: You'll thank me for this! (presses double-speed rewind)

(Tom and Ben Prime travel back in time.)

Continuum
Ben: This is crazy, Tom!

Tom: Relax, it's working fine.

Ben: If the tape guides snap, we could completely warp our timeline!

Tom: Trust me, everything was better in the 80's. Whoa!

(Tom and Ben suddenly move the other direction in the continuum.)

Ben: Whoa!

Tom: Uh, why are we going forward?

Back in Big Ben
(Tom and Ben Prime appear in the garage near the end of Big Ben, right before an obese Ginger falls on Ben. The time is paused.)

Tom Prime: Uh, oh.

Ben Prime: Ah! The Time Rewinder ate the tape!

Tom Prime: What just happened?

Ben Prime: Well, time froze because the machine ate the tape, which triggered a flux quantum pause, and there's most likely a rip in the space-time continuum, obviously.

Tom Prime: Uh, quick question. Uh, what happens if we can't fix the tape?

Ben Prime: Good question. We're stuck here forever!

Tom Prime: What? No. We-we can't be. If we're stuck in time forever, I'll never spend time with Angela again.

Ben Prime: Forgive me for not worrying about your little heartbreak, I'm too busy being stuck in the worst moment of my life!

Tom Prime: Right, so we both have a great incentive to think a way out of this. (gasps) What did we do when we were kids and this happened to our tapes, huh?

(Tom fixes the tape.)

Tom Prime: (sighs) There, good as new. (puts tape in rewinder)

Ben Prime: Ready?

Tom Prime: (takes deep breath) M-hm.

(Time is restored. Ginger falls on Ben, causing Ben to fart.)

Tom Prime and Ben Prime: Oh, oh, oh, ho, ho.

Tom Prime: The smell.

Ben Prime: Oh, no.

Tom Prime: Rewind. (presses button on rewinder)

(Tom and Ben travel in time.)

Back in the Time Portal
Tom Prime: Rewiiiiiiind!

(Ben screams)

Before Talking Tom and Friends
(Tom Prime and Ben Prime appear in the garage prior to the events of Talking Tom and Friends.)

Tom Prime: Ben, this is it. When the earthquake vase falls off the shelf and hits me on the head, that's when I think of the idea of the Time Rewinder.

Ben Prime: Well, we're here to make sure that doesn't happen.

(Tom chuckles)

Tom Prime: Oh no, the vase! It's about to fall! Ben, hit double rewind!

Ben Prime: But it'll eat the tape for sure.

Tom Prime: It'll also stop time!

Ben Prime: No, Tom, it's too dangerous. What if we can't fix it?

(The future Bens appear.)

Future Bens: There he is!

Tom Prime: Just do it!

Future Bens: Oh, no, you...

(The future Bens leap towards Tom and Ben.)

(Ben hits double speed rewind.)

(The time pauses.)

Tom Prime: Huh, alright. (whistles)

(Tom Prime picks up the vase.)

Ben Prime: Tom, what are you doing?

(Tom Prime puts a stool back upright and puts the vase on it.)

Tom Prime: (continues whistling) And, that should do it.

(Tom Prime and Ben Prime travel in time.)

(Tom and Ben scream while they are in the continuum.)

Present Day
(Tom and Ben appear back in present day.)

Tom: Ha! Woo-hoo! We did it, Ben! And now, everything's back to how it should be.

Ben: Um, I don't think this is how it should be.

Tom: Uh-oh.

(The garage is infested with plants and animal life. The plants are all growing from the vase.)

Tom: Is that my vase? Uh...

(Ben faints.)

Tom: Uh-
