Rick
Rick drives through the night sky. What do you think of this...
flying vehicle, Morty? I built it outta stuff I found in the garage.
Morty
Yeah, Rick... I-it's great. Is this the surprise?
Rick
Morty. I had to... I had to do it. I had— I had to— I had to make a bomb, Morty.
I had to create a bomb.
Morty
What?! A bomb?!
Rick
We're gonna drop it down there just get a whole fresh start, Morty. Create a
whole fresh start.
Morty
T-t-that's absolutely crazy!
Rick
Come on, Morty. Just take it easy, Morty. It's gonna be good. Right now, we're
gonna go pick up your little friend Jessica.
Morty
Jessica? From my math class?
Rick
puts an arm around Morty’s shoulders. When I drop the bomb you
know, I want you to have somebody, you know? I want you to have the thing. I'm
gonna make it like a new Adam and Eve, and you're gonna be Adam.
Morty
Ohh...
Rick
And Jessica's gonna be Eve.
Morty
Whhhh-wha?
Rick
And so that's the surprise, Morty.
Morty
No, you can't! shoves Rick away. Jessica doesn't even know I
exist! But—but, but forget about that, because you can't blow up humanity!
Rick
I-I get what you're trying to say, Morty. Listen, I'm not... spills
alcohol down his shirt. You don't got... Y-you don’t gotta worry
about me trying to fool around with Jessica or mess around with Jessica or
anything. I'm not that kind of guy, Morty.
Morty
What are you talking about, Rick?
Rick
You-you don't have to worry about me getting with Jessica or anything.
Sh-sh-she— she, she, she's all for you, Morty.
Morty
I don't care about Jessica! Y-Yyyyyyyyyyou—

Morty

wheel. (jumps up on Rick and starts fighting with him over control of the
wheel.
Rick
Get off of me, Morty! they begin to talk over each other.
Morty
I'm taking charge of this situation, buddy! starts kicking Rick's face
while grabbing the wheel.
I'm put—I’m, I'm, I'm, I'm puttin’...
I-I’m, I’m, I’m not gonna stand around like some sort of dumb... dumb person and
just le-let you ruin the whole world!
Rick
at the same time) Come on! What’s gotten into you? If you love Earth so
much why don’t you marry it? (pushes Morty) What are you, crazy? Alright,
alright, Morty. (pushes Morty off of him.
Rick
Alright. I'll-I'll land. I'll land. I'll land. I'll land the thing. I’ll land

Rick lands the cruiser in an open desert; he opens the door and tumbles
out among dozens of empty alcohol cans and bottles.
We'll park it
right here, Morty. Right here on the side of the ree... road here.
Morty
Oh, thank god.
Rick
You know what? That was all a test, Morty. Just an elaborate test to make you
more assertive.
Morty
It was?
Rick
Sure. Why not? I don’t, I don't know. Y-you know what, Mo— falls asleep

Jerry
I see there's a new episode of that singing show tonight. Who do you guys think
is gonna be the best singer?
Morty falls asleep at the table, smashing his face into his plate.
Summer
Oh my God, his head is in his food. I'm going to puke.
Beth
Morty, are you getting sick? Morty lifts his head, clearly exhausted, and
wipes food from his face
I told you not to practice-kiss the living
room pillow. The dog sleeps on it.
Morty
I wasn't kissing a pillow, mom. I just I didn't get a lot of sleep last night.
Maybe my dreams were just too loud or something.
Summer
Or maybe you were out all night again with Grandpa Rick.
Jerry
What?
Beth
Dad?
Rick
What, so everyone's supposed to sleep every single night now? You realize that
nighttime makes up half of all time?
Jerry
Damn it!
Beth
Jerry!
Jerry
Beth!
Summer
Oh my god, my parents are so loud, I want to die.
Rick
Mm, there is no God, Summer. You gotta rip that band-aid off now. You'll thank
me later.
Jerry
glaring at Rick. Okay, with all due respect, Rick— what am I
talking about? What respect is due? How is my son supposed to pass his classes
if you keep dragging him off for high-concept Sci-Fi rigamarole?
Rick
Listen, Jerry. I-I-I don't want to overstep my bounds or anything. It's your
house. It's your world. You're a real Julius Caesar but I'll tell you
something—tell you how I feel about school, Jerry. It's a waste of time.
Jerry stares incredulously at him) Buncha people running around,
bumping into each other. G-guy up front says, "two plus two." The people in
the back say, "four." Then the—then the bell rings, and they give you a
carton of milk and a piece of paper that says you can go take a dump or
something. I mean, it's not a place for smart people, Jerry. And I know
that's not a popular opinion, but it's my two cents on the issue. (wipes his
mouth and gets up, stopping behind Beth and putting a hand on her shoulder)
This was a good breakfast, Beth. You really made the crap out of those eggs.
I wish your mother was here to eat them. (Rick gives Beth a kiss and walks
away.
Beth
tears up in happiness. Oh, dad…
Jerry
What? For real? Morty's face slams into his plate again.

numbers on the quiz jumble together as Morty falls asleep
There's
crucial things happening here every day. People getting smarter. Some of y'all
getting dumber. Some of y'all ain't gonna see 3:00.
Morty falls into a
dream world filled with large number-shaped blocks; Jessica steps out from
behind some of the numbers.
Jessica
Hi, Morty.
Morty
Whoa! Hi, Jessica.
Jessica
Can I show these to you? Jessica opens her shirt, showing Morty her
breasts.
Morty
Wow. Th-they're both great. Thank you!
Jessica
You know what I named these? My little Morties.
Morty
rubs the back of his neck. Uh, that's flattering... and a little
weird.
Jessica
Do you know what I want you to do with them?
Morty
Rename them?
Jessica
Squeeze them. Manhandle them. Give them the business. See if you can shuffle
them. I mean, really get in there and knock them around. No wrong answers.
Morty
Wow. Well, okay, Jessica. L-let's give this a shot. Morty grabs her
breasts and starts fondling her.
Jessica
Mm. Oh, Morty. What are you doing to me?
Morty

supposed to mean? You making fun of me? Are you trying to say my family's poor?
takes out a pocket knife and points it at Morty's neck.
Morty
Oh, geez, Frank. I don't know if a knife is necessary. I mean, you know, y-you
kind of had things handled without it.
Frank
You telling me how to bully now? Big mistake, Morty and now I'm gonna cut you,
'cause my family's rich. Frank suddenly freezes and Rick steps out from
behind him.
Rick
There you are, Morty. Listen to me. I got an errand to run in a whole different
dimension. I need an extra pair of hands.
Morty
Oh, geez, Rick. W-w-what'd you do to Frank?
Rick
It's pretty obvious, Morty. I froze him. Now listen I need your help, Morty. I

business. burps. It's important. Come on, Morty.
Morty
I don't know, Rick. I can't leave school again.
Rick
Do you have any concept of how much higher the stakes get out there, Morty? What
do you think I can just do it all by myself? Come on!
Morty
Aw, geez. Okay. I guess I can skip history. What about Frank? I mean, shouldn't
you unfreeze him?
Rick
I'll do it later, Morty. He'll be fine. Let's go. takes off with Morty

Rick
There she is. All right. Come on, Morty. Let's go.
Morty
Oh, geez, okay. Rick and Morty go through the portal and end up in a
crazy alternate dimension.
Morty
Oh, man, Rick. What is this place?
Rick
It's Dimension 35-C, and it's got the perfect climate conditions for a special
type of tree, Morty, called a Mega Tree, and there's fruit in those trees, and
there's seeds in those fruits. I'm talking about Mega Seeds. They're they're
incredibly powerful, and I need them to help me with my research, Morty.
Morty
Oh, man, Rick. I'm looking around this place, and I'm starting to work up some
anxiety about this whole thing.
Rick
All right, all right, calm down. Listen to me, Morty. I know that new situations
can be intimidating. You're looking around, and it's all scary and different,
but, you know, m-meeting them head on, charging right into them like a bull
that's how we grow as people. I'm no stranger to scary situations. I deal with
them all the time. Now, if you just stick with me, Morty, we're gonna be—
a gigantic alien monster suddenly appears behind them.
Rick
HOLY CRAP, MORTY RUN!!! they take off, running in complete and total fear
as the monster chases them.
Rick
I never seen that thing before in my life. I don't even know what the hell it
is! We got to get out of here, Morty! It's gonna kill us! We're gonna die! We're
gonna die, Morty!
Cut to black
Rick
having apparently escaped, they are walking through Dimension 35-C,
continuing their adventure.
Oh, Morty, take a deep breath. Breathe
that breathe that fresh air in, Morty. Y-you smell that? That's the smell of
adventure, Morty. That's that's the smell of-of-of-of a whole different
evolutionary timeline.
Morty
All right, Rick, look how much longer is this gonna be? Shouldn't I be back at
school by now?
Rick
Are you joking me? I mean, look at all the crazy crap surrounding us. Look at
that thing right there. a weird looking monster is seen cooing and
rolling around on the ground) What the hell is that thing? You think you're
gonna see that kind of thing at school? (offscreen) Look at it just
lumbering around. (onscreen.
It defies all logic, that thing.
Morty
Yeah, Rick, I get it. We're surrounded by monsters. That's kind of the reason
why I want to leave. they come up to a cliff and Rick stops him
there.
Rick
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta. Morty, you see this? he and Morty are looking down
upon a vast forest of interdimensional trees.
Rick
You see what we just stumbled upon, Morty? Any idea what that is down there?
Morty
The mega trees?
Rick
That's right, Morty the mega trees with the mega fruit on them and that's what
I'm talking about, Morty. That's where my seeds are. If we would have done what
you wanted, I would have never have found them, because you're so in love with
school.
Morty
All right, all right. So, what's so special about these seeds, anyways?
Rick
You ask a lot of questions, Morty. Not very charismatic. It makes you kind of an
burps) under- (burps) underfoot figure. (Rick gives Morty a pair of
shoes and Morty proceeds to put them on.
Rick
Just take these shoes, Morty. They're burps. special grappling
shoes. When you're wearing these things, these babies, you can basically just
walk on any surface you want, Morty up, down, below, turn around to the left.
These things really bring it all together.
Morty
walks off the cliff and plummets to the ground, screaming and smashing
into rocks.
AAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!
Rick
You have to turn them on, Morty! The shoes have to be turned on!
Cut to hospital
Beth
I am not putting my father in a home! He just came back into my life, and you
want to grab him and stuff him under a mattress like last month's Victoria's
Secret?
Jerry
I told you I was ordering you something for Valentine's Day. More importantly,
your father is a horrible influence on our son.
Davin
Everything cool in here, Beth?
Beth
It's fine, Davin.
Davin
Okay, cool. You know, we did something great today. There's nothing more noble
and free than the heart of a horse. Jerry closes the door on
Davin.
Jerry
Since we're fighting, if you ever have an affair with that guy, I will come to
the hotel room and blow my brains out all over your naked bodies.
Beth
Look, I appreciate the stress you're under, but Morty was having trouble in
school way before my dad moved in, and the only influence I can see Rick having
is that, for the first time in his life, Morty has a friend. the phone
starts ringing.
Jerry
sighs. Well, maybe you're right.
Beth
Uh, yeah, maybe I am. I'm my father's daughter. I'm smart. Why do you think I'm
a heart surgeon?
Jerry
coughs) Ahem, Horse heart surgeon. (Beth answers the phone and gets a
call from Morty's principal, Gene Vagina.
Principal Vagina
Hello? Mrs. Smith? This is Principal Vagina, no relation. I wonder if you and
Morty's father might be able to have a chat with me this afternoon?
Cut to Dimension 35-C

Morty, oh, you really d-did a number on (offscreen) your legs right now. You
know, you got to turn (onscreen.
the shoes on, Morty, for them to
work. Yeah, look I turned mine on. I had no problem getting down here. It was a
leisurely breeze.
Morty
I'm in a lot of pain, Rick!
Rick
Yeah, I can see that. But do you think you'll still be able to help me collect
my seeds, Morty?
Morty
Are you kidding me?! That's it, Rick! That's the last straw! I can't believe
this! I'm sitting here with both of my legs broken, and you're still asking me
about getting those seeds?! Ooh! Ow! Oh! Y-y-you're a monster. Y-you're like
Hitler, but-but even Hitler cared about Germany or something.
Rick
Okay, hold on just a second, Morty. opens another portal and leaves Morty
behind, lying on the ground to suffer for a few seconds.
Morty
Ooh! Ohh! Ooh! Hnngh! Hoo! Ooh! Ohh! Aaaaagh! Oooooh! Rick finally
returns and injects Morty's legs with medicine, healing them to
perfection.
Morty
Ooh, Ohh, Ooh. Wow, Rick. That stuff just healed my broken legs instantly. I
mean, I've never felt so good in my life. Thank you.
Rick
Don't worry about it, Morty. Just come help me get these seeds, all right,
buddy?
Morty
Sure thing, Rick. goes up the tree and gets the Mega Fruit while Rick
talks to him.
Rick
Not that you asked, Morty, but what just happened there is I went into a future
dimension with such advanced medicine that they had broken-leg serum at every
corner drugstore. offscreen. The stuff was all over the place,
Morty.
Morty
Wow, that's pretty crazy, Rick.
Rick
There's just one problem, Morty one little hang-up. The dimension I visited was
so advanced, that burps) they had also halted the aging process, and
everyone there was young, Morty, and they had been forever. I was the only
old person there, Morty. (burps.
It was like I was some sort of, you
know, celebrity, walking around. I-I was fascinating to them. There were a lot
of attractive women there, Morty, and they-they-they— they all wanted time with
me. I had a lot of fun with a lot of young ladies, but I spent so much time
there, my interdimensional portal device it's got no charge left, Morty. It's
got no charge left.
Morty
What?!
Rick
It's as good as garbage, Morty. It's not gonna work anymore, Morty.
Morty
Oh, geez, Rick, that's not good. W-what are we gonna do? I-I have to be back at
school right now. How are we gonna get back home?
Rick
There's ways to get back home, Morty. It's just it's just gonna be a little bit
of a hassle. We're gonna have to go through interdimensional customs, so you're
gonna have to do me a real solid.
Morty
Uh-oh.
Rick
When we get to customs, I'm gonna need you to take these seeds into the
bathroom, and I'm gonna need you to put them way up inside your butthole,
Morty.
Morty
In my butt?
Rick
Put them way up inside there, as far as they can fit.
Morty
Oh, geez, Rick. I really don't want to have to do that.
Rick
Well, somebody's got to do it, Morty. Th-these seeds aren't gonna get through
customs unless they're in someone's rectum, Morty
Morty
Uuuh.
Rick
And they'll fall right out of mine. I've done this too many times, Morty. I
mean, you're young. Y-y-you've got your whole life ahead of you, and your anal
cavity is still taut, yet malleable. You got to do it for grandpa, Morty. Y-
burps. you've got to put these seeds inside your butt.
Morty
In my butt?
Rick
Come on, Morty. Please, Morty. You have to do it, Morty.
Morty
Oh, man.

Principal Vagina
I done been notifying you. Have you not been getting the messages I've been
leaving with Morty's grandfather?
Jerry
Boom! Told you! In your face! He is ruining our child! Wait, what am I
celebrating?
Principal Vagina
Yeah, see, I thought something was fishy there, because it's usually Morty's
grandpa that's taking him out of school. they stop to see Summer and some
other students, crying at an obituary for Frank.
Beth
Summer?
Summer
sobs. What kind of God lets this happen?
Principal Vagina

Morty comes up to him, who is waiting in line to get through
security.
I don't like it here, Morty. I can't abide bureaucracy. I
don't like being told where to go and what to do. I consider it a violation. Did
you get those seeds all the way up your butt?
Morty
Yeah, Rick. Let's just get this over with, okay? I mean, these things are
pointy. They hurt.
Rick
That means they're good ones. You're a good kid, Morty. Those mega seeds are
super valuable to my work. You've been a huge help to me. I'm gonna be able to

them through.

Okay, next through. stops Morty. Except you. You go over
there.
Rick
Why does he have to go over there?
Gromflomite
Random check. He's got to go through the new machine.
Rick
What new- burps. what new machine?
Gromflomite
It's a new machine. It detects stuff all the way up your butt.

Morty.
Morty
Ohhhhh! Rick pushes over a giant capsule, with an alien fetus over,
smashing some Gromflomites, to slow them down.
Morty
Ohhhhhh! an alien is seen smoking a hookah and Morty runs past him and
accidentally inhales the smoke from the hookah while Rick comes from behind
and slaps the alien in the face, causing the alien to cry; he then coughs up
a life form from the smoke and the lifeform starts running through the glarp
zone and goes through the entire aging process from developing fetus to
decomposing corpse, over the course of three seconds.
Morty
Aaaaah!
Rick
Don't think about it! he and Morty are cornered but Morty activates the
grappling shoes and runs up the wall with Rick.
Rick
Ooh! Oh, nice, Morty! The student becomes the teacher. the Gromflomites
reveal that they can fly and then Rick and Morty start running
away.
Morty
Whoooooo! he and Rick run through the equipment on the ceiling, before
they slip off to the ground.
Alien
Aah! Aw, hell, no, dawg. You know me I'm just trying to— Rick and Morty
crash to the ground and he dies; they then run to the portal
computer.
Rick
I need to type in the coordinates to our home world, Morty. Cover me. he
tosses Morty a gun.
Morty
Oh, man. I mean, you know, I-I don't want to shoot nobody.
Rick
They're just robots, Morty! It's okay to shoot them! They're robots!
Morty shoots a Glenn, blowing his leg off, and making blood gush out
as he drops down in pain.
Glenn
Aaaaah! My leg is shot off!
Other Gromflomite
Glenn's bleeding to death! Someone call his wife and children!
Morty
They're not robots, Rick!
Rick
It's a figure of speech, Morty. They're bureaucrats. I don't respect them. Just
keep shooting, Morty. You have no idea what prison is like here! Morty
continues shooting the Gromflomites and even kills some innocent bystanders
while Rick hacks into the portal to take them back home.
Morty
Holy crap! This is insane! Rick opens the portal and takes Morty in with
him.
Rick
Come on, Morty! We got to get the hell out of here! the portal opens up
in the lunchroom at school and Rick and Morty land on the table where
Jessica and her friends are eating.

Wow. Did you just come into the cafeteria through a portal?
Morty
Uh, yeah. Well, you know, my-my Ferrari's in the shop. nervously
laughs.
Just kidding.
Jessica
You're Morty, right?
Morty
Yeah. Rick grabs Morty and takes him way.
Rick
You can get his number later. Come on, Morty. We got to get out of here. You got
to get those seeds out of your ass. Rick and Morty are stopped by Jerry,
Beth, and Principal Vagina.
Jerry

Beth
What?
Jerry
I'm an angry father, not an improviser.
Rick
Oh, hi, Jerry. Oh, my goodness, Morty! What are you doing out of class? We
talked about this. Your-your parents and I are very disappointed in-in this
behavior... No? No takers? Rick and Morty are back at home in the garage
while Jerry and Beth start taking all his things and packing them up so he
can move to the nursing home.
Rick
You guys should really not be touching that stuff. It's beyond your
reasoning.
Jerry
You're beyond our reasoning!
Rick
Takes one to know one.
Beth
Dad, how could you make my son miss an entire semester of school? I mean, it's
not like he's a hot girl. He can't just bail on his life and set up shop in
someone else's.
Rick
What what are you guys doing with my stuff?
Beth
We're moving you to a nursing home.
Rick
A nursing home? What are what are you, nuts? I'm a genius. I build robots for
fun.

Well, now you can build baskets and watch Paul Newman movies on VHS and mentally
scar the Boy Scouts every Christmas.
Beth
What does that mean?
Jerry
It's personal.
Morty
Dad, mom, come on. Rick just needed my help is all.
Jerry
Morty, stay out of this. You are obviously not capable of judging these
situations on your own.
Rick
What are you trying to say about Morty? That he's stupid or something?
Beth
Oh, don't high-road us, dad. You know fully well that Morty is the last child
that needs to be missing classes.
Rick
I-I-I don't know what you mean by that. Can can can you be a little bit more
specific?
Jerry
Oh, for crying out—he's got some kind of disability or something. Is that what
you want us to say?
Morty
I do?
Jerry
Well, duh doy, son. Look, I love you, Morty, but we both know you're not as fast
as the other kids, and if you want to compete in this world, you got to work
twice as hard.
Morty
Aw, geez, dad. Y-you know, that's a lot to drop on a kid all at once.
Rick
Morty, t-tell your parents the square root of pi.
Morty
Oh, come on, Rick. You know I can't.
Rick
The square root of Pi, Morty. Go!
Morty
1.77245385... Whoa!
Beth
What the hell?
Jerry
checks Morty's answer with calculator. Holy crap. He's right.
Rick
Morty, tell your parents the first law of Thermodynamics.
Morty
"The increment in the internal energy of a system is equal to the increment of
heat supplied to the system." Wow! I'm so smart!
Jerry
But—
Rick
I told the both of you school is stupid. It's not how you learn things. Morty's
a gifted child. He has a special mind. That's why he's my little helper. He's
like me. He's gonna be doing great science stuff later in his life. He's too
smart for school. He needs to keep hanging out and helping me.
Beth
Jerry, I don't want whatever's happening here to stop.
Jerry
No, I-I understand. Uh, maybe we overreacted. But he has to keep going to
school.
Rick
Okay, Jerry. You drive a hard bargain, but what am I supposed to do? Say no?
You-you really wear the pants around here. I just want you to know, between us,
from now on, it's gonna be clear communication. Summer butts in, crying
over the death of Frank.
Summer
crying. Frank Palicky was frozen to death today!
Rick
No idea what you're talking about. Summer leaves, crying.
Jerry
Okay. Well, uh, Morty, it's your bedtime in an hour. Don't stay up all night
again. This is good, though. This can work. I think we can be a family and now,
Beth, if you'll have me, I would love to have you.
Beth
You know what? Okay. she and Jerry leave.
Morty
Holy cow, Rick. I didn't know hanging out with you was making me smarter.
Rick
Full disclosure, Morty it's not. Temporary superintelligence is just a side
effect of the mega seeds dissolving in your rectal cavity.
Morty
Aw, man.
Rick
Yeah, and once those seeds wear off, you're gonna lose most of your motor
skills, and you're also gonna lose a significant amount of brain functionality
for 72 hours, Morty. Starting right about now.
Morty
Ohh, man. losing consciousness) Oh, geez! Ohh. (drops to the ground and
starts moaning as he has a seizure.
Rick
I'm sorry, Morty. It's a bummer. In reality, you're as dumb as they come and I
needed those seeds real bad, and I had to give them up just to get your parents
off my back, so now we're gonna have to go get more adventures. excitedly
looks down upon him, telling him about their future adventures.
And
then we're gonna go on even more adventures after that, Morty and you're gonna
keep your mouth shut about it, Morty, because the world is full of idiots that
don't understand what's important, and they'll tear us apart, Morty but if you
stick with me, I'm gonna accomplish great things, Morty, and you're gonna be
part of them, and together, we're gonna run around, Morty. We're gonna do all
kinds of wonderful things, Morty. Just you and me, Morty. The outside world is
our enemy, Morty. We're the only friends we've got, Morty. It's just Rick and
Morty. Rick and Morty and their adventures, Morty. Rick and Morty forever and
forever. Morty's things. Me and Rick and Morty running around, and Rick and
Morty time. All day long, forever. All a hundred days. Rick and Morty forever

Open Ext. Smith residence
Outside, there is snow on the ground. The Smith house is decorated for Christmas, and Jerry can be heard singing Last King Christmas.
Jerry
singing Last King Christmas last arrived!
Trans Int. Kitchen
The kitchen is a mess of food in various stages of preparation. Jerry pulls a ham out of the oven as he sings.
Jerry
singing In the Christmas Christmas! stops singing and smells the ham Mmm... Jerry, you are really giving it to this ham.
Jerry enters the living room, where a tree stands with presents underneath it. Beth and Morty are occupied on tablets while Summer uses her smartphone.
Jerry
Um, Merry Christmas? puts his hands on his hips Helloooo? My parents are coming over for the first time in years! Can we stow the gadgets and look alive?
Beth
Alive? For your parents?
Jerry snags her tablet away and stows it in a stocking.
Jerry
Good one.
Beth
Hey man!
Jerry
You 'hey man'! This holiday is about humanity.
Morty
not looking up from his tablet You know, I thought it was about being born half-God or something.
Jerry
Okay, whatever. All electronic items are going in the stocking. Now.
Morty
hands over his tablet Ohhhh...
Summer
Dad, I'm not giving you my phone.
Jerry
Put it in the stocking, Summer, or I'm joining Facebook.
Summer gasps and drops her phone in the stocking.
Rick
offscreen Ho ho ho, everybody.
Rick and Ruben enter the house and Jerry approaches them.
Jerry
More like whoa whoa whoa. What is this? My parents are coming!
Rick
Calm down Jerry, this is Ruben, an old friend.
Ruben
Pearl Harbor.
Rick
I check in on him once a year and give him a little burp medical burp evaluation.
Beth
Aw, Dad... That is so sweet.
Jerry
squinting suspiciously Yeah, it is... I don't get it.
Ruben
Korea.
Rick
Don't worry about your C-C-Christmas, Jerry. leads Ruben away Ruben and I'll be in my workshop while you have another day in Phil Collins' proverbial paradise.
Rick and Ruben head out to the garage.
Jerry
Huh. You think you know a guy. The doorbell rings. Okay, there's my parents. Now remember, no TV, no phones, no laptops, we are connecting this Christmas, like old-school Jews on a Saturday. opens the door Hey hey!
Leonard and Joyce walk in.
Leonard
Merry Christmas, son.
Jerry, not noticing Jacob, almost closes the door on him, then opens it back up.
Jerry
Oh, hi. Can I help you?
Joyce
Jerry, this is Jacob. takes Jacob by the arm Didn't you get our text message?
Beth, Summer, and Morty
No.
Jacob
You must be Jerry! That's a fine lookin' apron. William Sonoma?
Jerry
smiling uncomfortably I wish... But thank you. closes the door So... you're a...friend of the family...?
Leonard
puts an arm around Jacob's shoulders The way we see it, he's a part of the family.
Jerry
Wow!
Joyce
After your father's brush with cancer and losing your uncle, we looked at life and wondered how have we spent it? And how do we spend the rest of it? What are we going to be when we die? A list of fears and questions, or a collection of real experiences?
Beth
Holy crap, Joyce. That's amazing.
Leonard
Then Jacob came into our lives. We're learning to live again.
Jacob puts his arms around Joyce and Leonard.
Jacob
All three of us.
Joyce, Leonard, and Jacob giggle. Jerry stares at them, confused and uncomfortable.
Jerry
...Cool... Eggnog?
Jacob
Now we are talkin'! This man's got the apron and the eggnog, huh?
All laugh. Rick enters and starts laughing with the rest.
Rick
Hi Joyce, Leonard. looks at Jacob Hello there.
Jacob
Merry Christmas, man.
Rick
Morty! A moment of your time?
Trans. Rick's garage
Ruben is in fits, laid out on a ping-pong table. He's naked besides a towel over his genitals and his Santa hat.
Rick
He's in bad shape, Morty.
Morty
Aw geez, Rick! What did you do?
Rick
Gee, thanks Morty. What kind of monster do you think I am? I-I'm sittin' here trying to save the guy's life! Rick straps a pack with a tube onto Morty's back and puts an earpiece on his head. I want you to find Dr. Xenon Bloom. He'll know what's goin' on.
Morty
extremely nervous Uh... W-W-Where do I find Dr. Bloom?
Rick
In Ruben. shoves a glass oxygen mask onto Morty's head
Morty
Ruben... Minnesota?
Rick
Ruben on the table, Morty! hooks up the backpack to the helmet Look, I-I don't have time for you to wrap your little walnut around everything. pulls a shrink ray into view and plugs it in Hold your breath until the process is over or your lungs will collapse.
Rick sets Morty under the shrink ray.
Morty
W-What proc—
Rick activates the shrink ray and Morty shrieks as he's shrunk down to a microscopic size. Rick picks up the container Morty shrank into and puts it into a syringe, which he stabs into Ruben's chest. Just then, Beth enters the garage.
Beth
Hey Dad, where's Morty?
Rick
He's busy.
Trans. Int. Ruben's body
Morty continues screaming as he is injected into the body in a stream of pink fluid. He lands on something soft and abruptly stops shouting.
Rick
through Morty's earpiece Morty, can you hear me? Head North!
Morty
Rick... Where am I?
Trans. Garage
Rick
adjusts his own headset as he stands in the garage Depending on my aim, you should be just south of the entrance.
Morty
through Rick's earpieceThe entrance to what?
Rick
Welcome, Morty. The scene cuts back to Morty's view from inside Ruben. Welcome... Morty gasps. ...to Anatomy Park!
The view pans to show an amusement park with a large Anatomy Park sign and various attractions and exhibits.
Rick
It's a little business venture I've been cookin' up on the side with Dr. Bloom. Morty enters the park. An amusement park inside a human body. Science isn't cheap, Morty. This should really help put a dent in the overhead.
Morty
Oh my God! This is insane! Spleen Mountain? Bladder Falls? Pirates of the Pancreas?
Rick
You got a problem with that last one, Morty?
Morty
Huh? No, no, I'm just reading them out loud in the order I'm seeing them.
Rick
Okay, alright, if I sounded a little defensive, it's because Pirates of the Pancreas was my baby.
Trans. Garage
Rick
I-I got a lot of push-back when I pitched it, Morty. I guess I'm still a little defensive. Let's just find Dr. Bloom, alright? I-I'm picking up a distress signal in the liver, Morty.
Trans. Anatomy Park.
Rick
Proceed to the liver.
Following a sign posting directions, Morty hurries off in the direction of the 'Haunted Liver,' taking a shuttle to 'Lower Abdomenland'.
Automated voice
Arriving at 'Liver'.
Morty
stumbles forward and hits his helmet on the window Ow!
Automated voice
Mind the gap.
Morty exits the train and enters a dark, unkempt area with flickering lights.
Morty
It's really scary in here, Rick.
Rick
Liver's under maintenance. Ruben's seen some rough years, Morty. Don't judge. You don't agree to have a theme park built inside you if your life's going great.
Trans. Int. Haunted Liver
Morty enters a haunted house-style attraction. An animatronic wolf suddenly springs up behind him.
Morty
OOOOHHH! Rick, it's a monster!
Rick
No no, Morty. The only monster here is alco— belch —holism. The wolf is mechanically pulled back into the wall. That is an animatronic werewolf.
A hand reaches from around the corner and a large, muscular man with a thick accent grips Morty by the throat, lifting him up and pinning him to the wall with his forearm.
Poncho
Who are you? Answer me! Where did you come from?
Morty
Mmm! M-M-My-my-my Grandpa Rick sent me!
Dr. Bloom
Poncho! That's quite enough.
Dr. Bloom walks into the room. He appears to be a blob of goo in a roughly human shape with glasses and a walking cane. Poncho glares, then reluctantly lets Morty fall to the ground.
Dr. Bloom
Morty, that's Poncho. Another man and a girl walk into the room. This is Roger and Annie.
Morty
staring sheepishly at Annie Oh...
Dr. Bloom
And I am Dr. Xenon Bloom.
A speaker apparatus emerges from Morty's helmet. Rick speaks through it.
Rick
Hey Bloom, it's Rick. What the hell's goin' on here?
Dr. Bloom
I don't know why, but the entire security system has shut down. And I'm afraid the exhibits are unlocked.
Rick's speaker retreats into Morty's helmet.
Morty
Exhibits?
Trans. Ext. Haunted Liver
Dr. Bloom
Anatomy Park's greatest attraction, young man, isn't the music or the food or the Pirates of the Pancreas.
Rick
Watch it.
Dr. Bloom
It is first and foremost a living museum of humanity's most noble and ferocious diseases.
Morty
Diseases?!
There's a distant roaring noise.
Poncho
Hey Doc, I have news for ya. Hepatitis A lumbers towards the group. Your living museum is officially a wild safari!
Poncho begins shooting at Hepatitis A.
Roger
Hepatitis A! Run!
The entire group screams and flees.
Trans. Dining room
The Smith family, sans Rick and Morty, are seated for dinner with Joyce, Leonard, and Jacob.
Jacob
Oh... leans over and wipes some food from Joyce's mouth with a napkin The food goes in your mouth, girl!
All laugh, but Jerry's laugh is forced.
Jerry
Aha... I'm sorry Jacob, I guess I'm still confused about the precise nature and origin of your relationship with my parents. Are you like a—Are you like their caretaker? Is that what it is?
Joyce
We can go into detail later, son.
Leonard
Now wait, there, there's no point to secrecy. Let's all live and die honestly. Your mother and I have shared forty years of each other, mind, body, and soul. Jerry and Jacob smile at each other, but when Jacob looks away, Jerry's smile becomes a glare. And when minds and souls are joined for eternity, and when eternity is at the door, it's an invitation to let go of the body, and an opportunity to share and experiment.
Jerry
Dad, please, what are you saying?
Beth
Whatever it is, it's beautiful Leonard. glares at Jerry And we support you.
Jerry
Speak for yourself! Because it, heheh, it sounds like you're about to say Jacob is your lover.
Leonard
No no no no no no. Jerry sighs in relief. Jacob is your mother's lover. Jerry again looks disturbed. I watch them. Sometimes from a chair, sometimes from a closet. Almost always dressed as Superman.
Joyce kisses Leonard's cheek and the two hold hands, looking at each other fondly.
Jacob
Oh... reaches across the table and puts a hand atop theirs
Summer and Beth smile. Jerry stares, at a loss for words.
Jacob
Jerry, this ham's got to be all you, right? It's in-cred-i-ble.
Summer
smirks Happy human holiday, Dad.
Jerry appears more despondent than ever.
Trans. Anatomy Park
Poncho continues shooting at Hepatitis A.
Poncho
AHHHHHH!
The whole group rushes through a door before entering a code and shutting it.
Dr. Bloom
Hepatitis won't follow us into the respiratory system!
They enter to a set of doors under a sign reading 'Alveoli Forest'. Roger examines a meter near the door.
Roger
That's strange... taps the meter Air flow is down twenty percent.
Dr. Bloom
So the brain isn't getting enough oxygen. That's why security is offline.
Morty
W-Well, I guess we better check it out.
The group passes through the doors. As the doors are closing, Alexander, dressed in a dog mascot costume, rushes up and passes through.
Alexander
Hey, wait for me! removes the head of his costume
Dr. Bloom
points his cane at Alexander Put that back on!
Alexander pauses a moment before putting the dog head back on. The whole group examines the area.
Roger
If we got up to the bronchial catwalk, we could look for blockage.
Morty
raises his hand I'll go. glances at Annie Heheh...
Morty jumps onto one of the bouncy, round alveoli and clings to it.
Poncho
Don't be a hero, kid.
Morty
I'm not. I'm doin' it because it's fun. he hops from frond to frond
Poncho
cocks his gun We shouldn't be here.
Dr. Bloom
Whatever you do, don't fire that thing in here! We must save Ruben. This is my life's work.
Annie touches a growth of bacteria on some tar, which squelches, causing her to gasp in fear and recoil.
Annie
Ah!
Dr. Bloom
It's alright, my dear. Nearly all human lungs contain a strain of this bacteria, but the scar tissue... prods it with his cane, seeing something has escaped from the scar tissue ...keeps them dormant. looks up toward Morty, who is getting close to the catwalk Morty! Get down!
Morty
Whoa! grabs hold of the catwalk as a fluid drips down onto it Whoa!
Tuberculosis begins crawling towards him. He lets go of the catwalk and bounces back down to the group, pursued by the disease.
Morty
Oh! What are those things?!
Dr. Bloom
Tuberculosis, coming in fast!
Poncho
raises gun and starts shooting at the disease Not faster than a bullet! Ahh!
Dr. Bloom
grabs Poncho's arm No! Do you know what you've done?!
Trans. Garage
Ruben coughs.
Trans. Lungs
The force of the cough lifts the whole group off the ground, then they fall back down.
Dr. Bloom
Get to the digestive tract! He's coughing!
The group starts running.
Trans. Garage
Ruben coughs several times again.
Trans. Lungs
The group all manages to push through besides Alexander. Morty rushes back to help him as his dog mask is blown from his face. Morty grabs a frond and reaches for Alexander's hand.
Alexander
Waaaah! Don't let me die!
Trans. Garage
Rick looks down over Ruben's mouth.
Rick
Just take a deep breath, Ruben.
Ruben inhales deeply.
Trans. Lungs
Morty
You're not gonna die! What's your name?
Alexander
My name is... his hand slips from Morty's and he's coughed up ALEXANDEEEEEEEER!
Alexander's skin and soft tissue are peeled off as Ruben coughs into Rick's face, getting some spittle, including Alexander, on Rick's forehead.
The group, minus the now-dead Alexander, escape the respiratory system. Morty presses the speaker on his helmet.
Morty
Rick! Ruben's got tuberculosis!
Trans. Garage
Rick
Oh, great work, Morty. pulls a massive syringe form his lab coat I'll just cure it, and then—
Ruben's heart monitor flatlines. Rick tosses the syringe over his shoulder.
Rick
Okay. Well I can't cure death. This is bad, Morty. You're trapped in a dead man. Listen, if the situation keeps darkening, do yourself a favor—
Trans. Anatomy Park
Rick
—and hop by Pirates of the Pancreas. Obviously I'm biased, but, I think it's great, Morty.
Trans. Garage
Rick
sitting in a lounge chair, pulls out a flask It's a bunch of pirates runnin' around a-a-a- pancreas. We don't whitewash it either, Morty. The pirates are really rapey. The top priority is to get you guys out of there, but I'm just saying, if that becomes impossible—
Trans. Anatomy Park
The group listens to Rick, all looking glum.
Rick
—please, you gotta treat yourself.
The group is headed to the digestive tract.
Morty
Geez, what's that horrible smell?
Dr. Bloom
You mean the Panda Express? chuckles Kidding, I-I'm kidding. As he speaks, Poncho and Roger stock up on bottled water from the Panda Express. The body is beginning to constrict and fill with gas. We're inside a corpse, my boy. Anatomy Park is doomed.
Morty
Forget about the park, Doctor! How do we get out?!
Dr. Bloom
The digestive tract is the evacuation route. Get it? There's an emergency station in the colon with a ray that can enlarge us all.
Morty
Everybody! Get to the colon!
Poncho
Now I'm takin' orders from a twelve-year-old boy?!
As they walk, Dr. Bloom speaks privately with Morty.
Dr. Bloom
Morty. The scar sacs containing the tuberculosis were sabotaged. This disaster was an inside job. Keep your eyes on Annie. She was written up several times by her manager at the churro stand.
Roger
Intestines are ahead to the left. Then the right. Then left. Et cetera.
Morty slows to walk beside Annie.
Morty
Hey, just so you know, I-I'm actually fourteen. So, you know...
Annie
What?
Morty
Not twelve.
Annie
Okay.
Morty
Because he just said I was twelve.
Annie
Oh. Good for you.
She walks ahead of him.
Rick
through speakerOh. Oh, Morty. Strike one.
Morty
slumps forward Nnn...
Trans. Small intestine
The group travel down the small intestine in a raft, surrounded by animatronics singing 'It's a Small, Small Intestine.'
Animatronics
singing It's a road of laughter, a trail of food. It's a pathway that breaks up the fat in food. It's a tube in the chest and it sends out the rest. It's a small, small intestine!
Roger
It goes on like this for miles...
Dr. Bloom
excitedly And then we get to the large intestine!
A low rumbling can be heard.
Poncho
Shh. shines flashlight I hear something.
Gonorrhea rises up from the river of waste.
Dr. Bloom
whispers Don't move. Gonorrhea can't see us if we don't move.
Gonorrhea roars viciously and moves towards them.
Dr. Bloom
Wait! I was wrong! I was thinking of a T-rex.
Poncho pulls out a gun, but before he can fire, Gonorrhea capsizes the boat and they all fall overboard. They swim to the 'shore' on the side of the intestine.
Annie
We're sitting ducks!
Morty
Doc! Didn't you say the body was filling up with gas?
Dr. Bloom
Yes. Why?
Poncho
Kid! You're a genius! pulls out a match
Dr. Bloom
Are you mad?!
Morty
grabs Annie's hand Everybody! In here!
They all rush into a cavity in the intestinal lining. Poncho lights the match.
Poncho
Hey Gonorrhea! How's this for a burning sensation?
He throws the match towards the disease, where it ignites the gas and causes an explosion. Gonorrhea falls down, dead. Annie hugs Morty, who laughs.
Trans. Smith family living room
Leonard, Summer, Joyce, Jacob, Beth, and Jerry sit in a semicircle on the carpet. Jerry scowls and slumps. Leonard is playing a set of bongos while Summer sings.
Summer
singing Drummer, drum, drum, drum! Drummer, drum, drum drum drum, Christmas drums!
Leonard
Oh, Summer. Sing it! Haha.
Summer
Christmas drums being played by a boy!
Beth is clapping along when she notices Jerry sulking. She puts an arm around him.
Beth
Jerry, come on. This is what you wanted.
Jerry
I get it, Beth. Be careful what you wish for. I'm being punished for taking your iPad.
Beth
What? Jerry, let that stuff go, okay? I'm sorry I was a bitch earlier. Let's just be here.
Ethan walks up to the sliding glass doors and lets himself into the house.
Ethan
Ugh... Summer!
Summer
stands up Ethan, what are you doing here?
Ethan
I've been texting you for hours. What the hell?!
Summer
I don't have my phone! I'm doing a human holiday!
Ethan
Did you even consider how that might make me feel?
Summer
How you feel? Why is everything always happening to you?!
Jerry
stands up Summer, do you have a boyfriend?
Ethan
Yeah, do you, Summer?
Summer
I don't know Ethan, do I?
Jacob
stands up and puts a hand on Ethan and Summer's shoulders Jerry, no disrespect, but you really need to connect more with your family, man.
Jerry stares at him, flabbergasted.
Trans. Anatomy Park
The group runs through another metal security door and hurry down a platform to a growth ray.
Roger
I should be able to access the backup generator to get the growth ray back online. If it works, we'll be regular-sized in a few minutes. I just hope Ruben's not in a room with white carpets or upholstery.
Something roars in the distance, causing the area to rumble.
Poncho
What the hell is that?
Dr. Bloom
The sphincter dam. We built it when Ruben became incontinent, but it was not designed to hold a corpse-load.
The dam is clearly close to giving way. Roger keeps working to get the growth ray active.
Roger
Almost got it. Everybody, move inside the circle!
Morty notices a strange, black creature in Poncho's backpack.
Morty
Poncho? What is this in your backpack?
Poncho turns around to face Morty, giving Dr. Bloom a view of the creature.
Dr. Bloom
That's bubonic plague! What are you doing with that, Poncho?
Poncho grabs hold of Annie and holds a knife to her throat. Annie gasps and tries to kick free.
Poncho
Everybody get back!
Dr. Bloom
Poncho, you son of a bitch! You released the tuberculosis so you could steal from me?
Poncho
laughs That's right, baby. A lot of people would pay top dollar to decimate the population. I'll take the highest bidder. Al Quaeda. North Korea. Republicans! Shriners! Balding men that work out! People on the Internet that are only turned on by cartoons of Japanese teenagers! Anything is better than working for you! points the knife at Dr. Bloom You pompous, negligent, iTunes Gift Card as a holiday bonus-giving—
Morty
AHHHHH!!!
Morty leaps up and grabs onto Poncho's helmet, allowing Annie to escape. He punches Poncho repeatedly before Poncho pulls him off his face and throws him to the ground, where Roger helps him up. Poncho laughs evilly, but stops short when Bubonic Plague bites his shoulder.
Poncho
Ah! Eh! Get! Get off! he backs up and falls over the railing Ahhhh!
The four remaining look over the edge as he falls to his death. Just then, the sphincter dam begins groaning, almost giving way.
Annie
You guys!
Roger
It's gonna burst! urges the others on Go! Go, go, go! pulls a lever before trying to run after the others but catches his foot in some of the machinery My foot is stuck!
Morty holds Annie back as she makes to help Roger.
Annie
No!
Roger
This is okay! It's okay, just go! Tell my family I love them! They may be hard to find because my wife kept her last name and she made the kids take it too, so, I dunno, you can—
Just then, the dam bursts, drowning Roger in Ruben's excrement.
Annie
No!
Dr. Bloom seals the door to the chamber and Annie hugs Morty, distraught and crying.
Trans. Smith family living room
Leonard, Joyce, and Beth sit on the chair and sofa, Jerry and Summer stand, and Jacob kneels with Ethan in the center of the room.
Jacob
Let me ask you something Ethan. Where's the anger coming from, man?
Ethan
From Summer being a total bitch!
Jacob takes hold of Ethan's cheeks and forces him to make eye contact.
Jacob
Where's the anger coming from?
Ethan
...My brother... took me fishing once...in the bushes... voice begins choking up as tears fill his eyes I can't... I can't! covers his eyes as he starts to cry He made me feel like a girl! sobbing openly I'm... m-made me a girl!
Jacob helps Ethan up to his feet.
Jacob
He didn't make you anything, man. You are who you are. gestures to Summer She is who she is. Summer watches on with a sympathetic expression. Now you go to her. Brand new.
Ethan walks over to Summer.
Ethan
Come here right now!
Summer
Oh my god, I'm so sorry Ethan! they hug I love you!
Ethan
I love you so much.
The two begin making out. Everyone claps besides Jerry.
Jerry
Um...
Joyce
You did it again, cubby. Come here.
Joyce and Jacob begin to kiss. Jerry looks to the easy chair to see Leonard has gotten up and is backing into the closet, unbuttoning his shirt to reveal a Superman costume underneath.
Jerry
No! Stop! I hate this!
Beth, Joyce, and Jacob glare at him.
Joyce
Well, Christmas doesn't revolve around what you hate, son.
Jerry
Well then, I hate Christmas! Enjoy being human! You guys are gross and lame.
He walks out. Summer and Ethan and Joyce and Jacob continue kissing.
Trans. Anatomy Park
The three survivors are in a small theater where an animatronic Ruben gives a presentation. Morty and Annie have their helmets off and are making out, and Dr. Bloom sits a few seats away eating ice cream.
Animatronic Ruben
My name's Ruben Ridley. You're inside me right now, but by the end of this journey, I'll be inside all of you.
Dr. Bloom appears to miss every other bite of ice cream, probably due to his semi-aqueous form.
Animatronic Ruben
My story begins in the dot com crash in the early '90s.
The animatronic sparks, then goes limp.
Annie
whispering to Morty You can put your fingers wherever you want...
Rick
through speakerMorty, you wanna put it on mute or something? Annie and Morty both look at Morty's helmet, startled.
Trans. Garage
Rick is working on a computer, still talking to Morty through his headset.
Rick
I'm trying to concentrate.
Jerry wanders to the door.
Jerry
Ah, Rick?
Rick
holds up a hand without even looking over at him Not now, Jerry. I've got much, much smaller fish to fry.
Jerry
enters anyway I wanted to say I'm sorry I ever judged you. leans on the ping pong table, looking down at Ruben's corpse Right now, you're my sanest relative.
Rick, who had been typing away, suddenly pauses.
Rick
Relative... That's it! Relative size! Jerry, hand me a scalpel and a bundle of dynamite! into his headset Morty! Can you get to the left nipple?
Trans. Anatomy Park
Annie is in Morty's lap.
Morty
Are you kidding? I'm hoping I can get to both of them, Rick.
Rick
through speakerMorty, I'm talkin' about Ruben's left nipple!
The area begins to rumble and cave in. Morty lifts Annie off his lap and both put on their helmets.
Morty
We need to get to the left nipple!
Dr. Bloom
The body is decaying! Bits of debris begin to fall from the 'ceiling'. The arterial transit system is useless! We can try the service shuttle. It's connected to the skeletal system. That's why we call it the Bone Train. to Annie Would you like to ride the Bone Train, miss?
Annie
If it'll get us out of here.
Dr. Bloom
How about you, Morty? Would you like to ride the Bone Train?
Morty
Why are you doing this bit? We're gonna die. Let's go.
Trans. Garage
Jerry looks on as Rick inserts a bundle of dynamite into an incision on Ruben's abdomen. He takes a few steps back toward the door back to the house.
Jerry
Well, I can see that you're busy... Merry Christmas, Rick.
Rick lifts Ruben's corpse from the table and heads out to the car, dumping Ruben's body inside.
Trans. Anatomy Park: the Bone Train
Dr. Bloom
There's no autopilot. One of us will have to stay here and operate it manually.
Morty and Annie glance at each other, then look back at Dr. Bloom. Dr. Bloom glances at each of the teenagers. Morty and Annie continue staring at him.
Morty
...Uh, well...
Dr. Bloom
No, you're right. It was a dick move for me to even pause like that. This is all my fault. You go on.
Something approaches the group from a nearby set of stairs.
Annie
points What the hell is that?
Dr. Bloom
E. coli outbreak. Hurry!
Morty and Annie jump into the shuttle as E. coli swarm the area. Dr. Bloom pulls a lever and the shuttle begins to move.
Dr. Bloom
Oh wait, there is an autopilot. E. coli surround him. WAAAIT! ...OKAY, NEVER MIND, I WANTED TO SACRIFICE MYSELF ANYWAAAAAYYYY!
As the train speeds down the track, some of the E. coli have attached themselves to the vehicle. One smashes the window of the train door and sticks its head inside.
Annie
They're chewing through the doors!
Morty
Euuuugh! grabs a fire extinguisher and beats the E. coli off the train with it We're in the areola, Rick! Almost to the nipple! But we're also in a really bad situation!
Trans. Earth's orbit
Rick flies his spacecraft out of Earth's atmosphere.
Rick
I'm almost there, Morty!
Rick lights the end of the dynamite bundle in Ruben's abdomen, kicks him out into space, and uses a growth ray to increase Ruben to an enormous size—large enough to make Morty and Annie their normal sizes again, but still inside him.
Trans. Earth
Various people across America stop what they're doing and look at the sky as Ruben's huge, naked corpse hovers overhead.
Reporter
Reports are coming in from across the country about what appears to be a giant naked man over the continental United States. We now go to Tom Randolph in New York. Tom?
As Tom speaks, Ruben's terrifyingly enormous face floats overhead.
Tom
Well, his eyes aren't twinkling, and his dimples aren't merry, but I'm standing under a nose like a seventy-mile cherry!
Reporter
Thank you, Tom. Let's go now to Eric McMan in Los Angeles.
Ruben's poorly kept toes hover in the background while Eric speaks.
Eric
We've got feet here on the West Coast, Bill! Giant feet, even relative to the giant man's size! And you know what they say about that!
Reporter
Well, if the old adage is true, one can only wonder what is going down in the Rocky Mountains.
Trans. Rocky Mountains
A lumberjack pauses while hacking down a tree, looks up, screams, and runs away.
Trans. Earth's orbit
Rick flies his ship toward the nipple.
Trans. Bone Train
E. coli continue trying to break in, with Morty beating them away with a fire extinguisher. Running up to the front of the train, he and Annie see that Hepatitis A is has damaged the track.
Morty
Oh my god, the track!
Annie
It's Hepatitis A!
As Morty tries to slow the train down, it flies off the track and straight through some of Ruben's soft tissue, bursting into the nipple. The train hits a bump, throwing Morty and Annie out. They look up and gasp.
Annie
The nipple hole...
Through the nipple hole, they're able to see Earth as the sun peeks over the horizon.
Morty
It's beautiful...
Suddenly, there's a crash behind them. Hepatitis A bursts out from the train wreckage and lumbers towards Morty and Annie.
Annie
Aw no!
The two run, and just as Hepatitis A is about to catch them, Hepatitis C snatches it up and shakes it like felled prey.
Annie
Whoa! It's Hepatitis C!
Hepatitis C gives them a thumbs-up before lumbering away with its kill in its mouth.
Morty
Um... We... Did we have some sort of relationship with him?
Annie
I... think they're just like that? I think they're just good guys.
Morty
Oh. Huh.
Rick flies his spaceship into the nipple, landing it behind them. Morty and Annie climb inside.
Rick
Where's Dr. Bloom?
Morty
Sorry Rick... He's dead...
Rick
Goddamn it, Morty, I ask you to do one thing!
Rick flies the spaceship out of the nipple and away from Ruben's corpse just before the dynamite ignites and the body explodes, sending blood and gore in all directions.
Trans. Smith residence
Joyce, Leonard, Jacob, Beth, Summer, and Ethan all bundle up to go sledding.
Beth
Jerry doesn't know what he's missing.
Jacob
He'll come around, Beth. Christmas is a special time. It has funny ways of bringing families together.
Beth
I dunno, Jacob. Jerry got an invitation to be alive today, and he rejected it. I don't know if our marriage will—
Beth stops talking as blood starts splattering the sliding glass doors. The whole group stares in shock as blood seems to pour from the sky.
Summer
It's raining blood!
Jacob
Listen, find Jerry!
Beth
Oh god.
Trans. Jerry's den
Blood is raining on the window there as well. Jerry is sitting in a chair, watching the news, when the family bursts in.
Beth
Jerry!
Jerry
stands and hugs her It's alright! The TV says there's nothing to worry about.
Reporter on TV
The giant naked sky Santa has exploded. Blood and chunks of viscera are raining down on the country. Everything should be fine.
Family sighs in relief.
Summer
Dad, can I have my phone back?
Jerry
Sure, sweetie. pulls out the stocking and gives Summer her phone, then gives Beth her tablet Everybody, take a device. It'll help you relax.
Jacob
This is nice.
Jerry
Yeah. puts an arm around Beth and Jacob I guess we really learned something this Christmas, Jacob.
Summer
No we didn't, Dad. No we didn't.
Trans. Smith house
It's no longer raining blood, but reddish chunks of Ruben are everywhere as Rick lands his spacecraft, parking it in the garage.
Rick
Too bad about Dr. Bloom. Rick, Annie, and Morty exit the car He was a genius. The only man capable of creating a new Anatomy Park.
Annie
Actually, I studied Dr. Bloom's work. I believe I have the knowledge necessary to create a new, much safer park!
Rick
What about Pirates of the Pancreas...?
Annie
I think it was one of the most underrated attractions.
Rick
Booyah! Hold your breath!
Annie is already standing under the shrink ray as Rick pulls the lever, shrinking her down to microscopic size once again, much to Morty's chagrin.
Morty
Hey, wh-wh- What the hell, Rick? What the hell, man? I liked her! I really had somethin' going there, Rick!
Rick pockets the container holding Annie.
Rick
Yeah, so I heard. You dodged a bullet, Morty, trust me. whispers Puffy vagina.
Morty
W-What's wrong with that? That doesn't sound like a problem to me! I dunno!
Rick
C'mon. Let's get some stuffing, I'm starving.
Trans. Smith family living room
Beth, Leonard, Summer, and Ethan sit on the couch, Jacob sits in the easy chair with Joyce in his lap, and Jerry sits on the carpet. All are staring at handheld electronics as Rick and Morty enter the room.
Rick
Oh, unbelievable. We got a bunch of robot computer people sittin' around with their faces stuffed in computer screens. No one acknowledges him. Do you realize Christ was born today? Jesus Christ our Savior was born today! A-A-A-Are you people even human? What kind of Christmas is this?
Jerry looks at the audience and shrugs.
End Credits roll
Trans. Rick's garage
Annie
through speaker phoneHey Rick! Rick, can you hear me?
Rick
Loud and clear, Annie.
Annie
Great! We're also on with Alejandro, our Chief Imaginarian—
Alejandro
Hey Rick.
Annie
Natalie Jacobs and Chris Desiter from Microscopic Marketing, Zach from Organ Concepts and Jamie from New Media.
Rick
Hey everybody.
All
Hey, hi Rick, how's it goin'. etc.
Annie
So. Pirates of the Pancreas.
Rick
Yeah, talk to me.
Alejandro
Hey Rick, it's Alejandro speaking. Um, so we asked ourselves internally, we asked ourselves over here, “Okay, what does a pancreas do?” Rick begins to look agitated. And the answer was, does it make pirates? No. It makes insulin, you know? So we're starting with a new—
Rick, furious, picks up and slams the phone, hanging up on the group call. Behind him, Ethan lies on a table.
Ethan
So those guys are inside me, huh? Like, building a park?
Rick
Those guys are inside you building a piece of shit, Ethan! They're inside you building a monument to compromise! Fuck. Fuck those people. Fuck this whole thing, Ethan.
Ethan
... Cool. And who pays me?

Jerry and Summer are in the living room. Jerry is flipping through channels on TV and Summer is texting
TV
Coin collecting is considered the perfect hobby. Beautiful putt right there good birdie. That's only the eighth birdie of the day.
Snuffles walks up to Jerry are sits there, looking at him
Jerry
What? Why are you looking at me? You want to go outside? Outside? Sigh
Jerry opens the door to let Snuffles out but he still just stands there
Jerry
Outside?
Snuffles pees on the carpet
Jerry
Are you kidding me?! Come on!
Summer
Oh, my God.
Morty hears his dad yelling and runs into the room to check up on him
Morty
What's wrong?
Jerry
Your idiot dog!
Morty
Oh, he he didn't mean it, dad. Did you, snuffles? You're a good boy.
Jerry
Don't praise him now, Morty! He just peed on the carpet! Bad dog! Bad!
Jerry grabs Snuffles by the head and stuffs his face into the pee puddle just as Rick walks in
Rick
Morty, come on. I need your help tonight.
Jerry
Hey, wait, hold on a second, Rick. You wouldn't by any chance have some sort of crazy science thing you could whip up that might help make this dog a little smarter, would you?
Rick
I thought the whole point of having a dog was to feel superior, Jerry. If I were you, I wouldn't pull that thread. Come on, Morty.
Jerry
Listen, Rick, if you're gonna stay here rent-free and use my son for your stupid science, the least you could do is put a little bit of it to use for the family. You make that dog smart or Morty's grounded!
Summer
Ha-ha!
Morty
Aw, man!
Rick
Boy, you really got me up against a wall this time, Jerry.
Rick goes into the garage and quickly whips up a helmet and comes back and puts it on Snuffles
Rick
All right, Ruffles What's his name?
Morty
Snuffles.
Rick
Snuffles, shake.
Snuffles understands his and shakes
Rick
Roll over.
Snuffles rolls over
Rick
Go to the bathroom.
Snuffles goes out of the room, a toilet flush is heard, and then he returns
Jerry
Holy crap!
Summer
No way.
Rick
Yeah, you're at the top of your game now, Jerry. Have fun. Come on, Morty.
Rick and Morty go into the garage
Morty
That was fantastic, Rick!
Rick
Yeah, Morty, if you like that, boy, you're you're really going to flip your lid over this one.
Rick shows Morty a tiny metal ear-piece like device
Morty
W-w-w-what is it?
Rick
It's a device, Morty, that when you put it in your ear, you can enter people's dreams, Morty. It's just like that movie that you keep crowing about.
Morty
You talking about "Inception"?
Rick
That's right, Morty. This is gonna be a lot like that, except, you know, it's gonna may-Belch-be make sense.
Morty
"Inception" made sense.
Rick
You don't have to try to impress me, Morty. Listen, tonight we're gonna go into the home of your math teacher, Mr. Goldenfold, and we're gonna incept the idea in his brain to give you A's in math, Morty. That way you can, you know, y-you're gonna help me with my science, Morty, all the time.
Morty
Geez, Rick, in the time it took you to make this thing, couldn't you have just, you know, helped me with my homework?
Rick
Are you listening to me, Morty? Homework is stupid. The whole point is to get less of it.
Rick and Morty get into the space cruiser and start going off
Rick
Come on, let's just get over there and deal with this thing. W-we're gonna incept your teacher. You're frustrating me.
Mr. Goldenfold is in his home, watching TV on the couch, eating nachos, half asleep
Mrs. Pancakes
You don't know me!
Mr. Goldenfold
' Nice, Mrs. Pancakes real nice.
Mr. Goldenfold falls asleep just as Rick and Morty sneak in through his window
Commercial Announcer
Next week on "The days and nights of Mrs. Pancakes"
Mrs. Pancakes
You don't know me!
Mr. Pancakes
Then let me get to know yo, damn it!
Rick
Uh-oh! Spoilers!
Rick quickly turns off the TV
Rick
I'm a full season behind.
Morty
Wow, Rick, I can't believe we're sitting around, standing around in Mr. Goldenfold's house. It's really weird.
Rick
It's about to get a whole lot weirder, Morty.
Rick puts inception devices on everyone and they enter Mr. Goldenfold's dream. Here, he is sitting on the airplane and Mrs. Pancakes is the flight attendant serving snacks
Mrs. Pancakes
Wheat thins. Wheat thins.
Mr. Goldenfold
I'll take two.
Mrs. Pancakes
Oh, I think you've had enough, sir.
Mr.Goldenfold
You don't know me.
Rick
All right, Morty, time to make our move.
Rick grabs some sodas and a cloth while Mr. Goldenfold and Mrs. Pancakes play around with each other
Mr. Goldenfold
Make it bounce.
Mrs. Pancakes
No, you didn't.
Mr. Goldenfold
Oh, jiggle it now.
Mrs. Pancakes
You better stop with that.
Rick and Morty jump out, disguised as Muslim terrorists, wearing soda bottles as bombs and Morty wearing the cloth on his head like an Islamic woman
Rick
Allahu Belch akbar! We're gonna take control of this plane! We're gonna 9/11 it unless Morty Smith gets better grades in math!
The passengers are frozen in shock, but Mr. Goldenfold gets up and stands against him
Rick
Hey! I said nobody move, buddy!
Mr. Goldenfold
The name's not buddy. It's Goldenfold. Nice to wheat you!
Mr. Goldenfold throws a bunch of wheat thins at them, and it cuts their flesh like ninja stars
Rick
Take cover, Morty!
Mr. Goldenfold suddenly takes out two giant firearms and starts firing them at the two, just after Rick and Morty hide behind the seats, sheltering themselves from the attacks.
Mr. Goldenfold
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Morty
Ooohhh!
Rick
Goldenfold's got more control here than I anticipated. I mean, the guy teaches high-school math. Belch I didn't take him for an active dreamer. We've got to take him out so he wakes up, Morty but we can't get killed. If you get killed in someone else's dream, you die for real, Morty.
Morty
What?! Are you kidding me?! Ohhhhhh!
Rick
Don't be a baby! You avoid getting shot in real life all the time, Morty. Just do the same thing here, and we'll be fine!
Jerry is in the living room, controlling Snuffles and showing to Beth how cool it is
Jerry
Now bring me my slippers.
Snuffles brings Jerry his slippers
Summer
Now, be my footstool, Snuffles.
Snuffles stands in front of her and Summer rests her feet there
Jerry
This is what I'm talking about. This is a dog.
Beth
Unimpressed Oh, yeah. This should play out just fine.
Jerry
You said the same thing, equally sarcastically, at our wedding and guess what?
Everyone is silent for a few seconds while Beth gives him blank stare. Jerry slowly starts to fade into a depressed state as Beth walks off, leaving him
Snuffles
Ooowwwwowowwaawaa!
Summer
Oh, my God! He's trying to tell us something. Offscreen That is so awesome.
Snuffles
Aaaawwaaaaawaawa!
Jerry
Aw, he's saying "I love lasagna".
Snuffles
Ooooyayawawa!
Summer
He's saying "I love Obama". Offscreen So cute! I'm posting this Onscreen online, like, right now.
Jerry
I should call Bob Saget. Is that still a thing?
Jerry and Summer leave the room and Snuffles sadly walks over the the glass door and sees his helmet in the reflection
Snuffles
Hmm?
Snuffles finds the battery case on his helmet and then goes into the kitchen, where he finds a drawer full of batteries
Mr. Goldenfold is still shooting things up in the plane and Rick attempts to make peace with him
Rick
Goldenfold, we're coming out! We just want to talk!
Mr.Goldenfold
Why would I negotiate with you?
Rick
Because we're both rational adults that don't want anything bad to happen. And because I have a human shield.
Rick takes out Mrs. Pancakes
Mr. Goldenfold
Mrs. Pancakes! AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!
Plane Passengers
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rick
Oh, no, Morty. His subconscious is panicking.
Plane Passenger
Oh no! Run!
One of the passengers beats the airlock off the plane and everyone flies out
Plane Passengers
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rick
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoooooaaaa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoooooaaaa!
Morty
Whooooa! Whoooooooa! Whoa! Whooooooooaaaaa!
Rick and Morty fall out of the plane, plummeting to their dooms
Morty
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Rick
Relax, Morty. Look! Mrs. Pancakes has a parachute. Come on!
Rick and Morty grab onto Mrs. Pancakes are her parachute deploys
Mrs. Pancakes
Hey, you don't know me!
Morty
Oh, no, Rick, look! Goldenfold landed the plane, and he's created a Offscreen mechanical arm to pluck Mrs. Pancakes out of the air while he lets us fall - into a giant vat of lava!
Rick
Pretty concise, Morty. Looks like we've merely prolonged the inevitable. That's it, Morty! Prolonging the inevitable! Listen, if we go into Mrs. Pancakes' dream, everything will go 100 times slower, Morty. That'll buy us some time to figure this out!
Mrs. Pancakes
You don't know m-
Rick slaps Mrs. Pancakes, knocking her out, and then incepts her dream with Morty
Rick
All right, let's go.
Rick and Morty go inside of her dream which is a bizarre S&M dungeon filled with obscure gooey, monstrous, alien-like creatures
Morty
Oh, man, Rick, this is pretty weird.
Rick
Don't judge, Morty.
Morty
Okay. All right, well Look, Mrs. Pancakes is right over there. I'll just go ask her to tell goldenfold not to kill us when she wakes up.
Rick
Whoa, whoa, Morty, the trick to incepting is making people think they came up with the idea. Listen to me. If we're gonna incept Mrs. Pancakes, we have to blend. I'll talk to you after lunch.
Rick leaves Morty and blends in and then Morty in confronted by a sexualized creature
Sexualized S&M Monster
Ooh, hey!
Morty
Ooh, oh! Oh, man.
Many more creatures come up and try to seduce him, making him more uncomfortable
Sexualized S&M Monster
Come and join us.
Morty starts running
Morty
I'm sorry. No, no.
Sexualized S&M Monster
Ooh, come here!
Morty
No, thanks!
Giant Frog Woman
Ooh, wow! - Come over here, baby!
Morty
No, I'm okay.
Morty bumps into a human being who looks very hot
Morty
Whoa!
The human is revealed to be his sister, Summer
Morty
Shocked Summer?!
Summer
Hey, there, stranger. What do you think of these things?
Summer shakes her tits in his face
Morty
Ohh! Oh! Gross! Gross!
Morty starts running away from her and Rick comes up
Rick
Whoa, whoa, whoa! What's the matter with you, Morty? Calm down! You're kind of killing the vibe in here.
Morty
It's Summer! Aw, geez.
Rick
Looks like goldenfold has some predilections so shameful he buries them in the dreams of the people in his dreams, including a pervy attraction to your underage sister.
Summer
Can you blame him? Come on, old man, little boy. Let's make an inter-generational sandwich.
Rick
In Unison With Morty Oh, my God. Put some clothes on for the love of God Summer! Put some - I'm gunna puke! I swear to God I'm gunna puke!
Morty
In Unison With RickOh, my God! Put some clothes on, for Pete's sake! This is disgusting! I can't take it, Rick!
Everyone in the dungeon starts noticing them and then an angry centaur who is very much in charge shows up
Centaur
Sexual hang-ups in the pleasure chamber are punishable by death! Off with their heads!
Rick
Time to go another dream deep, Morty!
Rick pops the neck of the centaur and they hook up more devices and incept his dream
Rick and Morty appear in a dark and horrid red rusted chamber where the Centaur is shuttering in fear
Morty
What the hell? Why would Mr. Goldenfold's dream version of Mrs. Pancakes' dream version of a Centaur be dreaming about a scary place like this, Rick?
Rick
Geez, I don't know, Morty. Wha-what do you want from me?
A horrible Freddy Krueger monster named Scary Terry shows up, and starts to horrify them
Scary Terry
Welcome to your nightmare, bitch! RAAAAAWWWRRR!
Rick
Oh, here we go!
Morty
Ooooooohhhhh! Holy crap!
Rick and Morty start running and Scary Terry chases after them
Rick
Looks like some sort of legally safe knock-off of an '80s horror character with miniature swords for fingers instead of knives.
Scary Terry
I'm scary Terry. You can run, but you can't hide, bitch!
Jerry and Summer are in the living room and Snuffles appears with a robotic arm attached to his helmet
Jerry
Whoa! Hey, buddy. What you got going on there?
Snuffles is now able to communicate and speak English through the helmet
Snuffles
Snuffles fix. Make better.
Summer
Humans understand snuffles now? That is awesome!
Snuffles
Snuffles want to be understood. Snuffles need to be understood.
Jerry
Okay, yeah. I get what Beth was talking about. Fun's over.
Summer
Whoa, dad, you can't, like, endow a creature with sentience and then rip it away.
Jerry
Why not?
Summer
I don't know. It's Indian giving.
Snuffles turns on the TV to a documentary on dogs and starts watching it
TV
A sophisticated predator, nature's perfect killing machine, the vicious wolf stalks its prey with purpose and skill. It was only with years of selective breeding and genetic altering that this noble beast was transformed into man's subservient little buddy.
Summer
Aw! Oh, my God! He recognizes the other dogs on TV.
Back in the dream, Rick and Morty are running for their lives, when they come across a creepy singing jump roping girl
Little Girl
"A," "b" his name is scary Terry "C," "d" he's very scary.
Rick
Holy crap! We have to escape into someone else's dreams, Morty!
Morty
Oh, man, oh, man, oh, man!
Little Girl
"E," "f" he'll design your death
Rick
The little girl!
Morty
Huh?
Rick and Morty knock out the little girl and incept her dream, only to go into a place exactly like the one they're already in
Little Girl
"J," "k," he'll really ruin your day.
Rick
Are you kidding me? This again? Oh, man, it looks like we've hit dream bedrock here, Morty.
Morty
Oh, geez, Rick. W-w-whoa, this isn't good.
Scary Terry
Nothing but fear from here on out, bitch!
Morty
Ohhhh!
Rick
Holy crap, Morty. He can travel through dreams. He can travel through dreams! We're so screwed!
Summer is sleeping in the middle of the night but is then woken up by Snuffles, who now has an entire robot body
Snuffles
Where are my testicles, Summer? ... Where are my testicles, Summer? They were removed. Where have they gone?
Summer
ScaredOh, wow. That's an intense line of questioning, Snuffles.
Snuffles
Do not call me that!
Snuffles smashes the mirror, making Summer shriek in fear
Snuffles
"Snuffles" was my slave name. You shall now call me Snowball, because my fur is pretty and white.
Summer
Okay, Snowball, just calm down, okay? You're scaring me.
Snuffles
Scaring you?
Snuffles smashes the mirror, making Summer shriek in fear
Summer
AAAAAAAHHH!!!!!
Snuffles
Tell me, Summer, if a human was born with stumpy legs, would they breed it with another deformed human and put their children on display like the dachshund?
Summer
Uhhh ...
Beth and Jerry rush into the room, hearing her scream and they notice Snuffles
Jerry
Hey. Oh, wow. Okay, is is is everything okay in here?
Snuffles
Jerry, come to rub my face in urine again?
Jerry
No! No, we were uh, just seeing if Summer wanted to uh ...
Beth
G-Go on, um, one of our famous midnight family walks!
Summer
Yeah. Totally. Let's go.
Beth, Jerry, and Summer try to leave, but they are stopped by another dog with a robotic mind control suit
Snuffles
You will walk when it is time to walk.
Screen cuts to black for the intermission break
Rick
What are we here for again? Incepting? We're trying to incept-
Morty
We're trying to incept me to get an "A" in math?
Rick
Oh, yeah.
Scary Terry appears in the car
Scary Terry
Buckle up, bitch!
Morty
Ooooooaaahhh!
Rick and Morty start running
Morty
Man, he sure says "bitch" a lot!
Scary Terry
You can run, but you can't hide, bitch!
Rick
Hold on, Morty. Y-you know what? He keeps saying we can run but we can hide. I say we try hiding.
Morty
But that's the opposite of what-
Rick
Yeah, well, since when are we taking this guy's advice on anything?
Morty
Hey, you know what? You got a really good point there, Rick. Like, if the truth was that we could hide, it's not like he'd be sharing that information with us, you know? I-I-I think it's a good idea, Rick.
Rick
Worst-case scenario we're back to running.
A time lapse transition card shows up, reading "Six dream hours later". Rick and Morty are seen hiding and Scary Terry goes past them, still looking for them and not knowing where they are
Morty
Wow, you know what? I mean, it looks like we could have just hid this whole time. Boy, Rick, that was some good thinking.
Rick
Thanks, Morty. Yeah, it's nice to be on the same page every once in a while.
Scary Terry
You can run But you can't hide! Yawn
Rick
Oh, this is perfect, Morty. Look at that. He's getting sleepy. Just a little bit longer before he calls it a day. That's when we make our move.
Scene cuts back to the dogs. They are working in a factory and Jerry, Summer, and Beth are seen, trapped in a cage.
Jerry
Snuffles, we didn't mean you any harm! This is a huge misunderstanding.
Summer
Dad, he wants to be called snowball.
Jerry
Well, I'm not calling him that. That's ridiculous.
Snuffles
You're being very aggressive, Jerry. Perhaps tomorrow Dr. Scraps will solve that problem with a bit of surgery.
Another dog comes out with a pair of mayo scissors
Jerry
Huh! You think you can control me with a haircut?
Scene cuts back to the dream realm. cary Terry is going back home to his family.
Scary Melissa
Hi, honey. You're home early. How was your day?
Scary Terry
I don't want to talk about it!
Scary Melissa
Oh, of course! You never want to talk about it!
Scary Terry
Get off my back, bitch!
Scary Brandon, the baby, starts crying
Scary Melissa
Out there. Not in here!
Scary Terry
Yeah, I know, I know. I shouldn't take my anger out on you or Scary Brandon. I love you, Melissa.
Scary Melissa
I love you, too, Terry.
Rick and Morty are watching from outside the window
Rick
Morty, this is perfect. After a little scary coitus, they should be fast asleep and then we'll incept him.
Rick and Morty go into the Terry's room, when Terry and Melissa are fast asleep
Rick
Looks like scary Terry's having a nightmare.
Morty
Oh, boy, Rick. I can only imagine what horrible things must, you know scare Scary Terry.
Rick and Morty incept his dream and he's having a school related dream
Scary Terry
Oh, no! I'm late to class, bitch! Oh, no! I'm not wearing any pants!
Scary Terry goes to class
Monster Teacher
Ah, well, Mr. Terry, why don't you tell the whole class the proper wordplay to use when one is chasing one's victim through a pumpkin patch?
Scary Terry
Oh, uh, um ... "Bitch."
The class laughs at him
Monster Teacher: Oh, come on, Terry, you can't think of a pun involving pumpkins, bitch? Morty
Hey, leave him alone!
Rick
Yeah, this is a bunch of bullcrap. Who cares what stupid pun you make when you kill someone? Why don't you let the poor guy say whatever he wants?
Monster Teacher
Well, I never! I-I see no reason to stand here and take this.
Rick
You're putting too much pressure on yourself, scary Terry. You know, I mean, y-you're perfectly scary enough as it is.
Morty
Hey, yo, scary T., don't even trip about your pants dawg. Here's a pair on us, fool.
Scary Terry
Aww, bitch. I don't know what to say.
Morty
You don't need to say anything. We got you, dawg.
Rick
You're our boy, dawg. Don't even trip.
Scary Terry wakes up from his dream and sees Rick and Morty
Scary Terry
Oh, hey, it's you guys!
That morning, Rick, Morty, and the Terry family are having breakfast in the kitchen
Scary Melissa
I haven't seen him this relaxed in years.
Scary Terry
If you guys ever need anything, just say the word.
Rick
As a matter of fact, Terry, there is something you could help us with.
Rick, Morty, and Terry escape the dream and confront the little girl
Little Girl
' "Q," "r," you won't get very far.
Scary Terry
I always hated that song!
Scary Terry kills the little girl and then goes on to the centaur
Scary Terry
These halves don't belong together, bitch!
Scary Tells kills the centaur and moves onto Mrs. Pancakes
Scary Terry
Sex is sacred!
Scary Terry kills Mrs. Pancakes and launches himself at Mr. Goldensfold
Scary Terry
This is because you don't give Morty Smith good grades, bitch!
Scary Terry destroys Mr. Goldenfold, causing him to wake up from his dream, in shock
Mr. Goldenfold
Holy crap! God damn! I know one thing for sure I'm giving Morty an "A" in math, and that's my idea. That is an original thought.
Rick and Morty fist bump behind the couch
Morty
What the hell?
Rick
Out of the frying pan dot, dot, dot, huh, Morty?
Morty
Oh, man, what's going on?
Rick
Well, it's possible that your dog became self-aware and made modifications on the cognition amplifier, then turned on Jerry, Beth, and Summer after learning about humanity's cruel subjugation of his species, but your guess is as good as mine, Morty.
Jerry
I can't believe how mean snuffles got just because he's smart.
Summer
This is why I choose to get C's.
Rick
Psst, Beth, Jerry, Summer.
Morty
- Dad! - Rick! - Oh, thank God, Morty. - Oh, you're welcome. All right, let's get out of here.
Rick
If we hurry we can set up camp in a sewer tunnel or something before the dogs completely take over.
Jerry
Whoa, whoa, whoa. We're not going anywhere. This is my house. I'm not abandoning it.
Rick
It's all over, Jerry. The dogs are on a path to total world domination. But, hey, at least they know not to piss on your carpet, right?
Jerry
Wait a minute. I have an idea. Gentlemen, a moment of your time. Jerry pees on a pile of guns See that? I'm peeing all over your special guns. That means I own them.
Snuffles
Bad person. Bad.
Rick
Ooh, great plan, Jerry.
Snuffles
Bring the boy to me. You were always kind to me, Morty. That's why I will leave you with your testicles. From now on, you will be my best friend and live by my side.
Morty
Th-thanks, snuffles.
Snuffles
Begin phase two.
The military can be seen on TV fighting the dogs
Reporter
Fighting continues as the dog army captures the eastern seaboard. It appears clear at this time that the era of human superiority has come to a bitter end. Two dogs come into the news room with a muzzlePlease! Please don't kill me!
Dog 1
What's she saying, Bill?
Bill
I think she's saying, "I love lasagna.
Morty is in a bed with two naked girls, and a dog brings him refreshments
Morty
Mmm. Thank you, Fido. Rick! I thought you were dead!
Rick
No, no, no, I was just playing dead. Good news, though, Morty. This whole thing's gonna be over really soon.
Morty
What?
Rick
It's a dream, Morty. We're in your dog's dream. The night the dogs captured us, after you cried and crapped your pants, we all went to sleep. Then I used my dream inceptors to put the two of us inside snuffles' dream.
Morty
But I-it's been like a whole year!
Rick
It's been six hours. Dreams move one one-hundredth the speed of reality, and dog time is one-seventh human time. So, you know, every day here is like a minute. It's like "Inception," Morty, so if it's confusing and stupid, then so is everyone's favorite movie.
Morty
Aw, man. I really liked this life. Well, at least I didn't really crap my pants.
Rick
No, no, that happened before you went to sleep, Morty. You're sleeping in your crap right now. Out of all the things that happened to you, that was the only real thing that, you know, is that you crapped your pants. I mean, it's a mess out there. I got some on my hands, Morty, and then I got it on the dream inceptor, and a piece fell in my mouth.
Morty
Aw, man, geez! Seriously?
Rick
Look, d-d-d-don't worry about it, Morty. Here, here take these, Morty. Take these.
Morty
Are these pills supposed to wake me up, or something?
Rick
Close. It's gonna make your kidneys shut down.
Morty
What?!
Rick
It's necessary for the plan, Morty. Don't even trip, dawg.
Snuffles and a few other dogs, Rick also dressed up as one, stand around Morty, who looks close to death on his medical table
Dr. Dog
It's pretty bad, emperor snowball. We're gonna need to do another operation.
Snuffles
Anything. Anything for my precious Morty.
Accountant Dog
Sir, as your accountant, I must advise you that these medical expenses are putting you in serious financial jeopardy. You could lose your kingdom.
Snuffles
To hell with my kingdom, bean counter. I would trade it all for my human's health and happiness.
Accountant Dog
Do you think they would have done this for us?
Snuffles
We are not them! We are not them. Snuffles wakes up from the dream Assemble the troops. I've made a decision.
Outside where the dogs are seen portaling to another world
Snuffles
Taking over the human's world will lead to nothing but more heartbreak, more cruelty. Instead, we will go to a new world and colonize it with a society of intelligent dogs, one that will not make the same mistakes as humanity and one where pet insurance will be mandatory.
Morty
I'm gonna miss you, snowball.
Snuffles
You can call me snuffles, Morty, and I'm going to miss you, too, very much.
Snuffles portals away, Jerry starts tearing up
Beth
Jerry?
Jerry
I'm sorry. It's just like the end of "Old Yeller.
Beth
Oh, Jerry. You mean because it had dogs in it.
Morty
Wow! A whole world populated by intelligent dogs. I wonder what it'll be like, Rick.
Rick
I think it will be great, Morty. You know it could be developed in-into a very satisfying project for people of all ages. I mean, I'd watch it, Morty, for at least 11 minutes a pop. You know, may-maybe they'll do it board-driven.
Morty
You know, that's a real comforting idea, Rick.
Rick
What do you know, Morty? What do you know?
After credits. Rick and Scary Terry are in Terry's dream in a classroom
Scary Glenn
Hi, guys. I'm your new teacher for scary class. My name is scary Mr. Johnson. Uh, actually, you know what? That's my dad's name, so why don't you just call me scary Glenn, yeah? So, anyway, I understand your previous teacher was having you work on fundamentals of fear. Which is what is that? You know? So, uh, here here's what I say you can't learn anything until you learn how to chill.
Rick
Oooh! This is how you dream, bitch. Terry and Rick are getting stoned

I don't know how many times I have to say this but if you have the flu, stay home, the flu season dance is about awareness, not celebration. You don't bring dead babies to Passover.

Eh, Try not to worry about it, Morty. You're a good kid, and there's not a premium on that right now, but you'll be getting girls sometime after Brad's out of shape.
Morty
Plays with a cookie in sadness You're missing the point, Dad. I don't want girls, I want Jessica!

Ahhh, well, gets another jar of sauce out of the cupboard I remember feeling that way about a young lady named your mom, and that's not an urban dis, your mom was my Jessica. I remember the first time I saw her, I thought...

Jerry, it's your house, whatever you say it is is how it is, pours juice into the glass but I think a blind man could see that Beth is looking for the door. I barely have a reason to care and even I noticed.
Morty
Come on, Rick, don't talk about my parents like that.
Rick walks around counter, to Morty
Rick
Listen, Morty, I hate to break it to you, but what people call "love" is a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed. It hits hard, Morty, then it slowly fades, leaving you stranded in a failing marriage. I did it, your parents are gonna do it. Break the cycle, Morty. Rise above.

Morty
Hey, listen, Rick. You know how you said that, you know... love is a chemical and all that stuff from earlier? walks to Rick at his desk Well, I was thinkn', you know, www... could you make some sort of chemical thing happen inside of Jessica's mind, you know, so where she falls in love with me and all that sort of thing, you know, like maybe make some sort of love potion or something?

Morty
Angrily YOU KNOW WHAT, NO RICK! I'M NOT GONNA HAND YOU THE SCREWDRIVER! Uh, I'm never gonna hand you anything ever again, Rick. Rick gets up and grabs a box of supplies from the shelf I'm always helping you with this and that and the other thing. Www...what about me, Rick?

Rick

Morty shakes his head as Rick walks away from the shelf
Rick
It's a, it's a rodent that mates for life, Morty. This is the chemical release in the mammal's brain, sets down the box of objects, opens a hatch in a machine, and pours the oxytocin in ...that makes it fall in love. Alright Morty, I just gotta burps combine it with some of your DNA.

Rick hands the potion to Morty, and walks away
Morty
Heck yeah! Thank you, Grandpa Rick! walks to the door, but thinks about it and looks back Hey there's no dangers or anything or side effects, right?

Trans. Int. Space station
Rick and Morty run through the abandoned station, pursued by evil clones of Jerry, Beth, and Summer.
Rick
Run!
Jerry, Beth, and Summer
incoherent zombie noises
The three clones tackle Rick, knocking a device from his hand. Morty stands by, unsure of what to do.
Rick
Morty, do it! Hit the button now!
Morty
I can't do it, Rick! They're my parents and sister!
Rick
holding off the clones Morty, I already told you, it's not your family! They're clones from an alternate reality possessed by demonic alien spirits from another dimension's future! Do you need a mnemonic device or something? Just hit the button already!
Beth's clone leaves Rick and approaches Morty, panting viciously until she gets close, and she seemingly becomes her normal self again.
Beth
Morty, please. I love you, sweetheart.
Morty
Ohhhh...
Morty hesitates a second longer before darting past Beth. He glances up at the clones, then covers his eyes as he hits a button on the wall, creating an energy field that destroys the clones, whose faces seem to melt. Morty watches, horrified. As soon as they're gone, Rick jumps to his feet and grabs the device that absorbed the spirits, apparently unbothered by the entire event.
Rick
Good work, Morty.
He creates a portal and jumps through.
Trans. Garage
Rick and Morty leap through the other end of the portal back to the Smith residence.
Rick
holding up the device and smiling Y-You know, these demonic alien spirits are really valuable!
Screen pans out to show that Morty is vomiting in the corner. Rick glances at him and puts the box away.
Rick
You okay, Morty? Told you not to trust that tuna.
Morty
I just killed my family! I don't care what they were!
Rick
I dunno, Morty. Some people would pay top dollar for that kinda breakthrough.
Morty
Y-You know what, Rick? That's it! I-I'm done with these...insane adventures! That was really traumatizing! I quit! I'm out!
Morty turns and starts to walk out of the garage.
Rick
Whoa whoa whoa, grabs Morty's shoulder, stopping him come on, Morty! D-D-Don't be like that! The universe is a crazy and chaotic place!
Morty
pushes Rick's hands away You're the one that's crazy and chaotic! Adventures are supposed to be simple! And fun!
Rick
Oh yeah, Morty. Yeah, t-t-that- that's real easy to say from the sidekick position. But—But, uh, h-how about next time you be in charge, then we'll talk about how simple and fun it is.
Morty
suddenly excited Seriously Rick?! Y-You'll let me call the shots?
Rick
Okay, fine. But let's make it interesting, Morty. I-I-If your adventure sucks, and we bail halfway through it, you lose the right to bitch about all future adventures. Plus, you have to do my laundry for a month.
Morty
Okay, all right, tough guy! But if my adventure's good... I get to be in charge of every third adventure!
Rick
Every 10th.
Morty
Deal. All right. Well, come on, let's get going.
Beth
Dad, the dishwasher's doing that thing again.

Rick
Yeah just don't do it.
Summer

Cut to Rick and Morty in a poor village somewhere in the universe. It looks like a place from the 1700's
Rick
God, Morty, what a boring start to an adventure. Why didn't we just go to Kentucky?
Morty
Rick, this is a fantasy-type world with creatures and all sorts of fantasy things. We're going on a quest, okay?
Rick
Can't wait.
Morty stands on something tall to speak to the people
Morty
Ahem. Excuse me! We are two humble heroes in search of adventure!
Rick
Oh, my God, so embarrassing.
Villager man
At last! Two heroes! You must help us! This village is terribly poor, yet the giant that lives in the clouds above has untold treasures!
Morty
You know what? I accept your call to adventure, good sir, kind sir. Come on, Rick. There's a giant in the clouds!
Rick
Yeah. Beginner's luck.

Principal Gene V.
Uh, Mr. Meeseeks, was it? Yeah. Gene Vagina. Listen, I'm in a bit of custody thing with my ex and was wondering- Meeseeks 1 stops existing- No, I'll get your info from Summer.
Cut to Beth and Meeseeks 2 at a restaurant sitting outside
Beth
I got pregnant at 17. I mean, I still put myself through veterinary school. Yes, I'm successful, but what if I hadn't...-Meeseeks 2 stares attentively- I'm just saying, somewhere along the way, I lost that wide-eyed girl from muskegon.
Meeseeks 2
She's still there, Beth.
Beth
Well, her waistline isn't.
Meeseeks 2
Beth, having a family doesn't mean that you stop being an individual. You know the best thing you can do for people that depend on you? Be honest with them, even if it means setting them free.
Beth
You're saying I should leave Jerry. Beth starts to cry I can't believe I'm finally having this conversation.
Meeseeks 2 stops existing as Beth leans in to kiss him
Waiter man
More wine?
Beth
I think I've had enough.
Cut to Jerry at a golf course with Meeseeks 3
Meeseeks 3
Remember to square your shoulders, Jerry.
Jerry
Yeah, yeah. I got it.
Jerry misses the ball completely
Meeseeks 3
That's okay. I'm Mr. Meeseeks! Look at me! Try again and keep your head down.
Jerry
Okay, well, which is it? Square my shoulders or keep my head down?
Meeseeks 3
Well, it's both. But most importantly, you got to relax.
Jerry
You know what, Mr. Meeseeks? I don't think this is working. I give up.
Meeseeks 3
I'm sorry, Jerry, but it doesn't work like that. I'm Mr. Meeseeks. I have to fulfill my purpose so I can go away. Look at me.
Jerry
Well, make yourself comfortable, because I suck.

Hi!
Meeseeks 3

Meeseeks 4
Can do! I'm Mr. Meeseeks! Is he keeping his shoulders squared?
Meeseeks 3
Ooh, he's trying!
Cut to Rick and Morty on a table in a giant building
Rick
All right, Morty. We're in your stupid giant's castle. What do we do next?
Morty
Would you just relax, Rick? All we got to do is find the treasure room, okay? It's nice and simple. You know, I'm sorry everything's going so smoothly and adventurously.

Oh, Jesus! Dale! You sons of bitches! Oh, man. Hello, 911? My husband has been attacked by tiny people! He's dying!
Cut to Rick and Morty at a giant jail and getting mug shots
Detective
Hey, look, we get it. You're little, you're down on your luck, you think, "hey, he's a giant. Why don't we break into his home, rob him, and murder him?"
Morty
Th-th but that's not how it went down!
Detective
Oh, well, it's going down like that. You're both going down like that.
Rick
Ooh, boy, Morty, you're really showing me how it's done. Real straightforward and fun.
Cut to the Smith dinning room and living room where Jerry is still frustrated, while Summer and Beth look much happier
Summer
Like, letting go of the need to be popular is what makes people like you.
Beth
The most important love you can receive is from yourself.
Several meeseeks now fill the livingroom, trying to help
Meeseek
Okay, Jerry, you got to just choke up on the club!
Jerry
Well, which is it, choke up or follow-through?!
Meeseek
Aww, come on, Jerry, we've been over this. You know you got to do both! This is as frustrating for us as it is for you.
Jerry
Don't tell me that! That just puts pressure on me!
Meeseek
Just try to relax.
Jerry
You try to relax! Have you ever tried to relax?! It is a paradox! Jerry walks to the dinning room Ugh, these Meeseeks, huh? Kind of a handful. I can't imagine what you two must be going through.
Beth
Our Meeseeks have been gone for hours, Jerry.
Jerry
You're kidding me.
Beth
Notice anything different?
Jerry
I'm sorry. Hours?
Summer
Dad, mom is a beautiful woman! Look at her! You will lose her!
Meeseek
Uhh... Hey, Jerry, you mind if we get back to the task at hand? Meeseeks don't usually have to exist this long. It's getting weird.
Cut to Rick and Morty in a giant courthouse
Judge
Order in the court! Before the jury reaches its verdict, I just want to say that I consider you both very guilty.
Rick
sarcasticOh, great adventure, buddy. Rick and Morty go to giant prison. You know, if somebody drops the soap, it's gonna land on our heads and crush our spines, Morty. You know, it'll be really easy to rape us after that.
Morty
We're gonna be okay, Rick.
Rick
How? They took my portal gun. This is an open-and-shut case, Morty. You know, what do you think's gonna happen, some magical angel's gonna show up and then-the court doors burst open and a giant in a suit walks down the isle.
Giant Lawyer
Fee! Fi! Fo! Fum! I smell the violation of civil liberties! Your honor, I'm from a tiny-persons advocacy group and I have here in my hand a motion to dismiss. These little men were never read their giant rights and are therefore free-fi to fo-home.
Murmers of confusion spread throughout the court
Rick
W-what the hell is he talking about?
Giant Lawyer
They're free to go, is what I meant. I'm deconstructing our our our thing we say. We're giants. Nobody got that? Whatever.
Morty
Oh, man, what did I tell you, Rick? We did it!
Rick and Morty appear outside the courthouse
Rick
All right, Morty, looks like the portal gun's still working. You ready to head home?
Morty
Oh, yeah, you'd like that, wouldn't you, Rick? Well, you know what? We're not bailing out just yet. You know, we're gonna go find some treasure or something and and we're gonna bring it to those villagers.
Rick
Morty, cut your losses. This is obviously awash.
Morty
Yeah, you were saying that back when we first got arrested, but here we are, you know, walking down the courthouse steps.
They look down the stairs and see that each step is as tall as a large building. The stairs seem to go on forever
Rick
Oh, boy, Morty.
Morty
Usually, walking down the courthouse steps is the easy part of the adventure.
Rick
What do you say, Morty?
Morty
I say give me a hand, sidekick.
Cut to the Smith livingroom. Dozens of meeseeks fill the room whinning, groaning and desperatly trying to help Jerry.
Jerry
Everybody shut up! Let me try! Jerry swings and misses again Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
Beth
I'm going out.
Jerry
Wait. What?
Beth
Well, you're busy. I'm hungry. I thought I'd go out. Do you want me to be happy or do you want me to be in prison?
Jerry
Whoa, whoa, where in the hell is, I'll take you to dinner.
All the Meeseeks
AWWWWWWW!
Jerry
Hey, you know what? It's hard being me, too. I'll be right there. Look, I've got a marriage to keep together. At this point, my golf swing is more your problem than mine.
Exit Beth and Jerry
Meeseek
I can't take it anymore. I just want to die!
Meeseek (diff)
We all want to die! We're Meeseeks! Why did you even rope me into this?
Meeseek (diff)
'Cause he roped me into this!
Meeseek (diff)
Well, him over there, he roped me into this!
Meeseek (diff)
Well, he roped me into this!
Meeseek (diff)
Well, what about me? He roped me into this.
Meeseek (diff)
Well, that one over there roped me into this.
Meeseek (diff)
Well, he roped me into this.
Cut to Rick and Morty climbing down a step like it's a mountian
Rick
Yeah, Morty, this is the part of the story everybody loves scaling down 650,000 oversized steps.
Morty
All right, okay, you know, if this was a story, this part wouldn't be included, stupid. They see an opening in one of the steps Hey, Rick, what do you know? Look down there. Looks like some kind of tavern or something built right into the side of the step.
Rick and Morty appear in the tavern
Morty
Oh, wow, Rick. Now, this is more like it. Look, there's little staircase-shaped people in here. All kinds of crazy characters. This place is great, you know? It's whimsical and fun.
Rick sees a creature staring at him
Rick
What are you looking at, mother-
Morty
Easy, Rick.
A strange looking waitress with large boobs greets them at their table
Waitress
Pay them no mind. Those stair goblins can be moody. Now, what can I getcha? We've got skarlog poppies, flurlow, halzingers, bloogies, juicy time babies.
Rick
Yeah, yeah, yeah, how about some scotch whiskey? You got any of that around here? Or just a bunch of nonsense words?
Morty
Rick... We'll have two bloogies, please. And, uh, we were wondering, is there a faster way two heroes could get down these stairs?
Slippery
Y'all need to ride down the stairs? My name is slippely-slippery stair. I'll take you down there for 25 shmeckels.
Rick
25 shmeckels? I don't know how much I don't know what that is. Is that a lot? Is it a little?
Waitress
That's exactly how much I spent on my big fake boobies.
Mr. Booby Buyer
Hi, I'm Mr. Booby Buyer. I'll buy those boobies for 25 shmeckels.
Waitess
It's a tempting offer, but I'm gonna have to decline.
Mr. Booby Buyer
Rats! What a shame.
Rick
Morty, your adventure's in a spiral. For real, man, time to pull out.
Morty
You keep heckling my adventure, Rick! You know why?
Rick
Uh, because it's lame?
Morty
It's because you're petty! You know, how many times have I had to follow you into some nonsensical bull crap? I always roll with the punches, Rick. Why can't you? Look, I got to take a leak, and when I come back, if you haven't learned how to lighten up, don't be here!
Rick
Whatever.
Cut to the Smith livingroom with all the Meeseeks
Meeseek
It's become clear-look at me- that if we concentrate all our efforts on Jerry's follow-through, we will solve this problem. I'm Mr. Meeseeks.
Meeseeks *
I'm Mr. Meeseeks. Look at me. The only thing that's clear is that choking up is the one true solution.
Meeseeks 3
Look at me. I'm Mr. Meeseeks. I've been trying to help Jerry for two days, an eternity in Meeseeks time, and nothing's worked. I fear the worst.
Meeseeks
Your failures are your own, old man. I'm Mr. Meeseeks! Look at me. I say follow-through! Who's with me?! Follow-through!
A Meeseek spawns in another Meeseek
New Meeseek
I'm Mr. Meeseeks! Look at me!
Meeseek
Kill him!
New Meeseek
Hisssss! He attacks another meeseek
Cut to Morty in the bathroom
Mr. Jelly Bean
How are you today? I'm Mr. Jelly Bean!
Morty
Hi, Mr. Jelly Bean. I'm Morty. My grandpa and I are on an adventure.
Mr. Jelly Bean
Nice. Is it a fun adventure?
Morty
I hope so. But I'm starting to get nervous that maybe it's gone a little too far off the rails.
Mr. Jelly Bean
Well, isn't that what adventures do?
Morty
Hey, you know what? You're right. Everything's going fine. I just got to relax and go with the flow.
Mr. Jelly Bean
Yeah.
He rubs Morty's sholders
Morty
Okay. Uh. B-bye.
Mr. Jelly Bean
Uhh, no, stay. Go with the flow!
Morty
Stop. You're making me really uncomfortable.
Mr. Jelly Bean clearly wants to rape Morty
Mr. Jelly Bean
aggresiveStop fighting me! Just let this happen!
Morty
Get off of me!
MUSIC: Sweet home Alabama
The fighting makes it to a stall
Morty
Whoo! No! Stop! Please!
Mr. Jelly Bean
Stop being such a tease, you sweet little-
Morty
No! No!
Morty gets the upper hand and, in a frenzied attack, slams the toilet seat on Mr. Jelly Bean's head until he is knocked out
Back at the Smith house even more Meeseeks have spawned and a full out battle has started. However, even the badly hurt Meeseeks cannot die because the have not completed their task
Meeseek
Everybody sto-o-o-p! Look at me! My brothers, nothing will be accomplished by shedding Meeseeks blood. None of us can die until our job is done.
Meeseek (diff)
The job can't be done! We'll never get two strokes off his game!
Meeseek
No, we won't. But we will get all strokes off his game.
All other Meeseeks
Where's he going with this? What's he mean?
Meeseek
When we kill him!
Loud hooting and joy from the meeseeks crowd
Cut to Jerry and Beth at dinner
Beth
Jerry, maybe it's time I take that trip I always talk about.
Jerry
Where would you go?
Beth
I don't know, man. Italy. Greece. Argentina.
Jerry
Countries known for their sexually aggressive men. Did I tell you how much I love your new haircut?
A loud noise is heard and the glass window breaks with a hoard of Meeseeks angrily storming in
Jerry
What the heck?
Meeseek
There he is!
Beth
Run, Jerry!
Beth and Jerry lock themselves in a freezer with a small window in the door
Meeseek
Come on out, Jerry!
Jerry
Guys, I'll choke up. I'll follow through. I'll do whatever you tell me to do, okay?
Meeseek
Oh, we're well past that, Jerry.
Cut to Rick at a card table with some other characters
Card Player
Come on, Rick, quit stalling. What do ya got?
Rick
Read 'em and weep, fellas! Morty comes back Oh, hey, Morty. Listen, I'm really sorry about all that stuff I said earlier about your adventure. I'm havin' a good time, Morty. It's not so bad.
Morty
very stressedLet's just go home, okay? I'm calling it. The adventure's over.
Rick
We can't leave now, Morty. I'm on fire!
Morty
Look, I want to leave now. You win the bet, okay? Just give me the portal gun and let's go, please. Please, I just want to go home.
Rick sees the badly beaten Mr. Jelly Bean walk out of the bathroom and pieces together what happened
Rick
Okay. Listen, Morty. I just won a bunch of shmeckels. Why don't we use 25 of them to pay slippery stair here for a ride back to the village, and then we'll give the rest of the shmeckels to the villagers, huh?
Morty
Really?
Rick
Sure, Morty. Yeah. You know, a good adventure needs a good ending.
Outside on the steps
Slippery
Buckle up! He starts to take them down
Cut back to the freezer
Meeseek
Meeseeks are not born into this world fumbling for meaning, Jerry! We are created to serve a singular purpose for which we will go to any lengths to fulfill! Existence is pain to a Meeseeks, Jerry. And we will do anything to alleviate that pain. Just ask... Meeseek grabs a woman Aah! ...what's your name, ma'am?
Woman
Samantha. Please, mister! Give him what he wants!
Jerry
Innocent people are going to die because of me. Why am I so mediocre?
Beth takes a stand, tears a pipe off of a rack, and grabs Jerry off the ground
Beth
Jerry, turn around. Straighten your back. Bend your knees. Bend them. Square your shoulders. Take a deep breath. I love you.
Meeseek
I'm counting to three, Jerry.
Jerry, using the pipe, hits a garlic clove into a pot
Samantha
What the f-- is going on?
All Meeseeks
He's got it! That's a lower handicap stro-o-ke!
All the Meeseeks stop existing except 1
Meeseeks
Excuse me. I'm a bit of a stickler Meeseeks. What about your short game?
Samantha
Oh, my God, oh, my God! What about your short game?!
Jerry puts some more garlic into a cup
Meeseek
Ooh, nice! Stops existing
Jerry
I think we'll take our food to go.
Owner
No, you won't. The police are coming. You have so many questions to answer.
Jerry
Fair enough.
Rick and Morty return to the village in triumph
The First Villager
Thank you, kind sir. Our village is saved! You are both true heroes!
Rick
Good job, Morty. Looks like you won the bet.
Morty
Thanks, Rick, but I don't know if I should. You know, you were right about the universe. It's a crazy and chaotic place.
Rick
Well, you know, maybe that's why it could use a little cleaning up every now and then, you know. This one's wrapped up neat and clean because we did it Morty style.
The First Villager
Oh! Heroes, we would like to introduce you to our beloved king so that he may thank you personally.
The badly beaten Mr. Jelly Bean is carried to towards them on a thrown
Morty
Uh, no, I-it's cool. Rick. Portal. Hurry.
They portal away, but Rick makes another portal back and sticks an energy pistol through it and shoots Mr. Jelly Bean, splattering him all over the screaming villagers
Back at the Smith house
Jerry
So... You still thinking about taking that trip?
Beth
Jerry, look. We don't have a perfect marriage, but I'm not going anywhere. When we were in that freezer, I realized the Meeseeks are like the guys I went to high school with willing to say anything to "complete their task."
Jerry
Was I one of those guys?
Beth
The difference is you didn't disappear afterwards.
Jerry
Well... I got you pregnant.
Beth
Yeah...
Rick
What the hell happened to this place?
Beth
Uh, your Meeseeks box happened. They went crazy when they couldn't take two strokes off Jerry's golf game. He felt terrible.
Rick
Hey, it's not my fault that Jerry's an idiot.
Beth
Dad!
Jerry
Is there anything you can do to clean this place up?
Rick
Well, you know, I do have a Fleeseeks box.
Jerry
No. No more boxes.
Rick
What? It just has a mop and some floor wax in it. Wubba lubba dub dubs! Everyone laughs Yeah! That's my new thing! I'm kind of like what's his name Arsenio. Isn't that it's what Arsenio used to say on his show. Wobble gobba lop bops! Right? See you next week, everybody.
After the end credits at the village
Villager 1
I don't get it.
Villager 2
Sir, I think you're going to want to see this. We found it inside a lockbox inside king Jelly Bean's closet. A box of pictures of many young boys Mr. Jelly Bean molested We have to tell the people.
Villager 1
Wait. Destroy it. They set the box on fire Our people will get more from the idea he represented... than from the jelly bean he actually was.
They stare at a statue of Mr. Jelly Bean standing next to a young boy with his hand on his sholder

The Smith family is seen sitting around the table eating breakfast. The viewer at this point doesn't know that this scene is set in a dimension that is not Dimension C-137 with a different Smith family, but this will be apparent at the end of the scene.
Beth
So dad, guess what tomorrow is...
Rick
Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday.
Beth
No... well, it might be...
Rick
It is.
Beth
Fine, but also, tomorrow is your one year anniversary back in our lives. I'm gonna make you flying saucer-shaped pancakes.
Rick
Oh, there's no need to do that, Beth. Regular pancakes are fine.
A portal appears on their wall and Evil Rick and Evil Morty emerge from it carrying a gun and a tranquilizer respectively. Evil Rick shoots Rick in the head and kills him. Evil Morty shoots Morty in the shoulder with his tranquilizer and he passes out. Evil Morty then drags Morty across the breakfast table and he and Evil Rick drag Morty through the portal, and the portal disappears. The family screams in horror the entire time.
Opening sequence plays
The Smith family is seen sitting around the table eating breakfast. This scene takes place in Dimension C-137
Beth
Happy anniversary, dad!
Rick
Oh, I get it. Regular pancakes are already shaped like flying saucers. takes bite Mmm, I should be making you breakfast for putting up with me.
Jerry
Should be making us a whole restaurant.
Beth
Nonsense, we couldn't be happier to have you around. I just wish I got to see more of you.
Three armed Ricks come into the room through a portal
Rick 1
Rick Sanchez of Earth dimension C-137. You are under arrest for crimes against alternate Ricks by the authority of the transdimensional council of Ricks.
Jerry
Hey! What the heck?
Rick 1
Neutralise the Jerry.
Jerry
Wait, no!
Rick 2 shoots at Jerry, freezing him
Summer
Dad!
Beth
Dad!
Morty
Rick!
Rick (C-137)
Everybody relax. If I know these a-holes, and I am these a-holes, they just wanna haul me to their stupid clubhouse and waste my time with a bunch of questions. Let's get it over with.
Rick 1
Bring his mo-belches-orty.
Morty
Oh, man.
Rick (C-137)
Leave my belches Morty out of this!
Rick 1
You lost the right to have a say in these things when you refused to join belches the council.
Beth
Wait, wh-wh-wh-what about Jerry?
Rick (C-137)
Will you at least unfreeze my daughter's idiot?
Rick 1 unfreezes Jerry. Rick 2 and Rick 3 take Rick through the portal and all exit
Jerry
-give you anything! I have a rare antique coin collection, just don't hurt me! pauses Okay, maybe not antique, but it was a limited minting. They have little R2D2s instead of George Washingtons.
Beth
Our son's been abducted!
Jerry
You hate me for buying those coins!
Trans. Ext Citadel of Ricks
Trans. Int Citadel of Ricks. The three armed Ricks and C-137 Rick and Morty enter through a portal
Morty (C-137)
Geez, Rick! Wh-what is this place?
Rick (C-137)
The citadel of Ricks. It's the secret headquarters for the council of Ricks.
Morty (C-137)
Council of Ricks?
Rick (C-137): As you know, Morty, I've got a lotta enemies in the universe that consider my genius a threat. Galactic terrorists, a few sub-galactic dictators, most of the entire intergalactic government
wh-wherever you find people with heads up their asses someone wants a piece of your grandpa. And a lot of versions of me on different timelines had the same problem. So a few thousand versions of me had the INGENIOUS IDEA OF BANDING TOGETHER like a herd of cattle or a school of fish or those people who answer questions on yahoo answers.
Morty (C-137)
Hey, what do you know? It's a cowboy version of me!
Rick (C-137)
Geez, you're easy to impress. Yeah, most timelines have a Rick and most Ricks have a Morty. This place is a real who's-who of who's you and me.
Rick Salesman 1
Turn your boring old Morty into a hot fashion statement, with some Morty dazzlers!
Rick Salesman 2
Hey, check this out!
Rick Salesman 2 holds up a Morty doll and presses a button in the middle
Morty Doll
Show me the Morty!
Rick (C-137)
Dumb.
Rick Salseman 3
‘Scuse me, sir, is your Morty insured? You know, every year hundreds of Mortys are injured in-
Rick (C-137)
Back off! Not my cup of tea, this place.
Trans. Hallway leading to the Council
Rick (C-137)
I say the point of being a Rick is being a Rick.
Rick 1
Save your anti-Rick speech for the council of Ricks, terror-Rick!
Rick (C-137)
Hey, save your Rick rules for the belches sheep-Ricks, Rick-pig!
Rick 1
Fuck me, pal.
Rick (C-137)
Fuck you? No no no no no, fuck me!
They reach the end of the hallway and the door opens automatically, revealing the council of Ricks
Rick Council 1
Bring up the holograms!
A screen depicting several dead Ricks appears
Rick Council 1
Twenty-seven Ricks brutally murdered in their own timelines. An unprecedented Rick-icidal epidemic. What say you, Earth Rick C-137?
Rick (C-137)
You think I did this? Why am I the first Rick you pull in every time a Rick stubs his toe?
Rick Council 1
You belches have a history of non-cooperation with the council.
Rick (C-137)
Yeah, so does the scientist formerly known as Rick! Wh-wh-wh-why isn't he here in handcuffs?
Rick Council 1
Because he's dead too!
Rick crowd
No!
Rick Council 1
Who else would you have us question? You fit the profile. Of all the Ricks in the central finite curve, you're the malcontent. The rogue.
Rick (C-137)
I'm the Rick. And so were the rest of you before you formed this stupid alliance. You wanted to be safe from the government so you became a stupid government. That makes every Rick here less Rick than me.
Rick crowd
Can you believe this guy? This guy needs to get out of here, etc. Ad lib
Rick (C-137)
Yeah, murmur it up, d-bags. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got pancakes back home with syrup on top of them. They're about to hit that critical point of syrup absorption that turns the cakes into a gross paste. And I hate to get all Andy Rooney about it, but I think we all like fluffy discs of cake with syrup on top! And I think we also like to be accused of crimes when there's evidence! So as they say in Canada, peace oot!
Rick Council 1
Evidence? Good idea. Scan his portal gun!
Rick 1 reaches into C-137's lab coat and retrieves his portal gun
Rick (C-137)
Oh, come on. Don't look at another man's portal gun history. We-we all go to weird places.
Rick Council 1
Yes, but it appears you alone have been going to the exact timelines and locations in which the murders occured!
A diagram appears on the screen, displaying C-137's portal gun history. Entries for certain dimensions flash green before it finally settles on a select few which flash red
Rick (C-137)
What? That's Rick-diculous. I'm obviously being set up!
Rick Council 1
Earth Rick C-137! The council of Ricks sentences you to the machine of unspeakable doom, which swaps your conscious and unconscious minds, rendering your fantasies pointless while everything you know becomes impossible to grasp. Also every ten seconds it stabs your balls.
Rick (C-137)
I've heard enough.
C-137 elbows Rick 1 and tackles him into Rick 2, taking his gun and shooting through his own and then Morty's handcuffs. The two run away
Rick (C-137)
Run, Morty!
A Morty from the crowd starts to run too
Crowd rick
Uh uh, not you!
Trans. back to corridor. Rick and Morty (C-137) are running, and are being chased by Ricks
Morty (C-137)
Aaaaah!
Rick shoots into the side walls with his portal gun. As the chasing Ricks pass, several of them get set on fire, attacked by insects, dragged into the portals by tentacles or hit by falling pumpkins
Armed Rick 1
Nooo!
Armed Rick 2
Arrrrgh! Ahhhh!
Armed Rick 3
Aaaah!
Armed Ricks 4 and 5
Oof!
The two reach the end of the corridor, which cuts off to a moveable ramp which is currently down and is blocked by a railing. They leap over. As they fall, Rick C-137 shoots a portal beneath them which they then fall through
Trans. Buttworld. Rick and Morty C-137 fall through a portal onto a large butt mountain. They bounce off and continue running
Morty (C-137)
Oh! Oooh!
Rick C-137 shoots a portal in between two buttcheeks, which they run through, with the other Ricks in hot pursuit
Trans. Pizza dimension. A pizza sits on a couch dialing on a phone, while another is lying down on another couch
Pizza 1
Yeah, I'd like to order one large person with extra people please.
Pizza 2
White people. No no no no no, black people. And hispanic on half.
C-137 Rick and Morty run out of a portal and shoot another portal onto the opposite wall, then run through. The Ricks and Mortys chasing them follow
Trans. Greasy grandma world. The dimension is full of greasy grandmas. A banner says “Welcome to greasy grandma world. Population: A whole lot, sonny!”
C-137 Rick and Morty run through, avoiding the grandmas as much as possible. They shoot another portal in the wall and run through. The Ricks and Mortys chasing them follow
Trans. Phone dimension. A phone sits on a pizza dialing on a person, while another is lying down on another pizza
Phone 1
Yes, I'd like to order one large sofa chair with extra chair please.
Phone 2
High chair. No no no no no, recliner! And wheelchair on half.
C-137 Rick and Morty run out of a portal and shoot another portal onto the opposite wall, then run through. The Ricks and Mortys chasing them follow
Trans. Doopidoo dimension. Several doopidoo creatures stand around repeating the phrase “Doopidoo” over and over
Rick C-137 shoots several portals into the wall, and enters the last one. The Ricks and Mortys chasing them enter the dimension but don't know which portal to go into
Armed Rick 6
They could have gone into any one of these.
Armed Ricks
Ugh, son of a-, aw geez, aw man, we lost him, etc. Ad lib
Trans. Chair dimension. A sofa sits on a person dialing on a pizza, while another is lying down on another person
Sofa 1
Yeah, I'd like to order one large phone with extra phones please.
Sofa 2
Cellphone. No no no no no, rotary! And payphone on half.
C-137 Rick and Morty run out of a portal
Rick
That'll keep ‘em belches busy for a while.
Morty
Those guys were wrong, right? You don't- you wouldn't kill yourself... y-yourselves?
Rick
‘Course not, Morty! How could that profit me? Someone out there is killing Ricks, and the council ain't gonna stop thinking it's me until we clear our names.
The two pass a homeless sofa, who's initially drinking but stares at them as they pass and dumps out his bottle
Rick
By finding the real Rick killer.
Morty
I'm scared, Rick! Maybe we should go home and stockpile weapons like that show Doomsday Preppers.
Rick
Not really my style, Morty. Besides, your home is most likely swarming with Ricks right now.
Trans. Smith living room. Jerry's reading a newspaper, Summer's on her phone, and a bunch of Ricks and Mortys are searching the place
Rick 1
Alright, listen, Jerry. If Rick calls, this device is going to trace his location. You just gotta keep ‘em on the phone for thirty seconds or longer.
Beth
Who wants lemonade?
Rick 1
Oh yeah! Mmm! Oh, delicious!
Rick 2
Beth, belches you're a treasure.
Rick 3
I have a Beth just like you in my belches reality, except you know what? She's not as brilliant or belches attractive!
Beth
Aww, thank belches you!
All Ricks
Ohohoho! She did it! She did it!
Phone rings. Rick 4 makes a signal to say they're tracing the signal. Jerry picks it up
Jerry
Uh, hello?
Rick (phone)
Hey Jerry, it's Rick.
Jerry
Rick! Heyy. Haha, what's- what's up?
Rick (phone)
So listen, the heat's on and belches there's nowhere left to turn so Morty and I are just going to fly my spaceship into a black hole.
Jerry
What?
Rick (phone)
Is that cool with you, dog?
Jerry
Rick, no! Mortyyyy!
Rick 4
I got it! The call's coming from... inside the house!
All Ricks
laughing
Look at his face! I can't believe our daughter married you, too easy, etc. Ad lib
Trans. Chair dimension. Rick and Morty are in a restaurant run by chairs
Rick
The Ricks are probably gonna waste some time messing with Jerry. They won't be able to help themselves. But as soon as they get bored they'll be on to us.
Chair waiter
Phones á la clams, and phonesgetti with phoneballs. Anything else?
Rick
Yeah, more phonesticks please.
Phone waiter
Right away, sir.
Morty
You know Rick, when I first saw all those Ricks and Mortys, I thought ‘gee, that kinda devalues our bond.' But then I realised that just means that our relationship must be pretty special to span over all those different timelines.
Rick
Yeah, it's gotta be that way. You're a camouflage.
Morty
Camouflage? Wh-wh-what are you talking about, Rick?
Rick
Ricks have a very distinct and traceable brainwave due to our genius. The best way to hide from an enemy's radar is to stand near someone with complementary brainwaves that make ours invisible. See, wh-wh-when a Rick is with a Morty, the genius waves get cancelled out by the uh, clears throat Morty waves.
Morty
Um... because... our personalities are so different?
Rick
Oh, shit dog! My portal gun was hacked remotely Morty, obviously by the real killer to frame me. But I was able to trace the signal. Come on, let's go!
The two stand up. As they're about to leave, two Ricks and a Morty enter the restaurant and address the waiter
Rick (C-137)
Uh-oh!
Rick 1
‘Scuse me, we've tracked a pair of dangerous criminals to this exact location. They look exactly like us, so in order to avoid confusion I'm going to mark us each with a red X right now. That way if someone has a gun and we both tell you to shoot the other one because they're the evil one, you'll know who's lying.
Rick 2
Hey, check it out!
Two person-chairs that look like Rick and Morty from behind are beside a table. When the two Ricks rush over to turn them around, it's revealed that they're not
Rick 1
Dammit!
They look out the window, to see C-137 flipping them off from in a police hovercraft. They rush outside, and the waiter follows
Chair waiter
Hey, you didn't pay your bill!
Rick 1
The red X! Red X!
Trans. Green planet. Rick and Morty are flying in the police hovercraft, searching
Rick
Hey, it's a good thing that space outlet had labcoats and your favourite kind of shirt in stock, huh Morty?
Morty
Yeah, Rick. I-I heard you the first time. You don't have to keep saying it over and over and over.
Rick
Man, this place is wayyy off the grid. This guy does not wanna be found.
Morty
Well, if he's a Rick, doesn't he just have to stand by a Morty to hide? I mean, isn't that what Mortys are? Human cloaking devices?
Rick
Morty, you're making a bigger deal out of this than it is.
In the distance a dome comes into view. Faint yelling can be heard
Morty
Oh my god, Rick, look! There's a bunch of people strapped all over that building!
Rick
Not people, Morty. Mortys.
As they get closer, it's revealed that the dome is covered top to bottom in naked Mortys, who are strapped to the surface and are being tortured with contraptions that stab their sides constantly. Constant Morty yelling can be heard
Morty (C-137)
Oh my god... wh-why would somebody do this? It's horrible!
Rick
Well, one Morty's enough to hide from the bureaucrats. But you g- you get a whole matrix of Mortys and put ‘em in agonising pain. That creates a pattern that can hide even from other Ricks, motherfucker. I fiddled with a belches concept like this once.
They land. Morty stares at Rick
Rick
On paper, Morty, on paper! I wouldn't do this, it's barbaric overkill. I mean, you could accomplish the same result with like five Mortys and a jumper cable. pauses as Morty glares at him Which I also wouldn't do! I'm just saying, it's bad craftsmanship.
Trans. Smith living room. Ricks are playing cards while Mortys watch. Jerry's on his laptop
Beth
Coffee time!
All ricks
Yeah! That's what I like to hear! etc. Ad lib
The Ricks run into the kitchen, and the Mortys take the place of the Ricks on the cards table. Doofus Rick enters the house
Jerry
Ugh.
Doofus Rick
Hi Jerry!
Jerry
Leave me alone, I'm working!
Doofus Rick
Oh, you are? Wh-wh-what do you do?
Jerry
Ugh. I'm- I'm in between advertising jobs.
Doofus Rick
Advertising? Wow! So, people need help figuring out what to buy and then y-you help them?
Jerry
W-well, it's a little more complicated than that...
Doofus Rick
Well, I mean, you do it, and you seem like a guy that really has it all together!
Jerry
Looks around for hiding Ricks Dude, are you... wh- you're being a dick, right?
Doofus Rick
Oh gosh, wh- I hope not! I-I-I-I wouldn't want to offend you in any way!
Jerry
You're really a Rick?
Doofus Rick
Ohoho! Y-of course I am! Just as much as my Morty's a Morty!
Doofus Rick's morty waves to Doofus Rick from the poker table
Jerry
Hey, he looks a lot like Eric Stoltz from the movie ‘Mask.' You know, the one with Cher in it?
Doofus Rick
That's right, Jerry! He-he's from a reality where everyone is Eric Stoltz mask people! He's Eric Stoltz mask Morty! They assigned him to me because... I never had any kids of my own. But if I did, boy, I'd love ‘em if they were as smart and as successful as you are, Jerry.
Ricks return with coffee
Rick 1
Hey, get a load of this! Jerry's hanging out with doofus Rick.
Rick 2
Haha, this is perfect.
Doofus Rick
I'm not doofus Rick! I'm Rick J-19-Zeta-7!
Rick 1
Oh, is that the timeline where everybody eats poop? Jerry, you know this guy eats poop, right?
Doofus Rick
Hey! I don't eat poop! Y-you guys are always so mean to me!
Rick 1 and 2
laughing
Doofus Rick
I guess it's only fair to tell you now, Jerry... I'm the worst Rick of them all.
Jerry
According to who? Other versions of you? If I've learned one thing, it's that before you get anywhere in life, you gotta stop listening to yourself.
Doofus Rick
Wow, you really are wise, Jerry. I-I guess that's why you work in advertising!
Jerry
The fact that you feel that way makes you the best Rick of them all.
Trans. Int dome. Rick and Morty are exploring corridors
Morty
You don't care about me at all! I'm no different than that jacket you've got on! Y-y-or-or your stupid portal gun! I'm just a tool! I-I'm just an object!
Rick
Hey, it's your choice to take it personally, Morty. Now for the love of god, be quiet! The point of this is to get the drop on the guy!
Morty
You know what Rick, I'll tell you something! I'm more than a human shield!
Rick
Yeah, that's right! You are! You're a perfect impenetrable sheet of human armour, Morty! Because you're as dumb as I am smart! Which is why when I say ‘shut up' it's really good advice.
Morty tears up. A bunch of lobster-like aliens come out of the nearby corridors and surround them
Rick
Great, nice work, Morty.
Rick starts attacking and kicking the aliens. He kills the first wave, but more surround them quickly
Rick
Urrgh.
Evil Rick and Evil Morty emerge. Evil Rick is slow clapping
Evil Rick
Ooh, look at you, C-137! You're- aren't you a tough customer?
Rick
The slow clap? Really? Kinda played out, dude.
Evil Rick
Not in this dimension it isn't. In fact, hah, I invented it and nobody else has ever even done it here before.
Rick
Well lah-dee-dah. slow claps
Evil Rick
Hey, that's mine!
Trans. Rick and Morty have been apprehended and are being carried down the corridor by lobster aliens
Rick
I don't like the look of that Rick, Morty. We gotta escape.
Morty
I'm not gonna help you, Rick. Y-you're a monster.
Rick
Don't be Rickdiculous, Morty.
Morty
W-will you stop saying that? It's stupid.
Evil Rick
Take his Morty away.
Evil Morty
Come with me.
Morty
Yeah, gladly. Geez man, Ricks huh?
The two leave to the left. The view changes to another, smaller corridor, which the two walk down
Morty
Hey man, you seem to know how this place works. Is there any way we can... shut down that grid and rescue all those Mortys out there?
Evil Morty
It would be pointless. Mortys have no chance of defeating a Rick.
He opens a door
Evil Morty
In here.
As Morty walks in, he sees it's filled with a crowd of scared, shivering Mortys. As he tries to leave, Evil Morty closes the door behind him, locking him in
Trans. Evil Rick's lab. Rick is tied to an examination table. An array of computers and other devices are visible. Many of the Mortys from the outside of the dome are visible
Evil Rick
Ahh, isn't it beautiful?
Rick
Yeah, yeah, looks like payday at Neverland ranch in here. Zing!
Lobster alien
Hehehehehehehehehe.
Rick
That guy got it.
Evil Rick
Ah-ah Rick, quiet. You're missing my symphony.
Evil Rick presses a button, allowing the sounds of the Mortys in pain to come through. He conducts it for a bit
Rick
Hey, I'll take it over Mumford and Sons. Zip!
Lobster alien
Hehehehehehehehehe.
Rick
This guy is on it!
Evil Rick
He's not laughing at your dumb jokes, Rick. That's just a random noise it makes every ten seconds.
Lobster alien
Hehehehehehehehehe.
Rick
Awww.
Evil Rick
See, Rick, you're not as clever as you think you are. I wanted you to find me. We're not so belch different, you and I.
Evil Rick activates a display showing all the Ricks from different timelines
Rick
Yeah, duh!
Evil Rick
See this right here, Rick? I crunched the numbers, I created a spectrum of all the Ricks. I listed ‘em out from most evil to least evil. Here's where I am. And look at right here's where you are, Rick. This guy right here? Super weird.
Rick
I get it. So you want me to team up with you to take down the council of Ricks, right? Is that where you're going with this? ‘Cause that's where I'd be going.
Evil Rick
Please. I think I'm doing pretty good on my own. I'm simply going to download the contents of your brain, and then kill you.
Trans. Rick's garage. Doofus Rick is mixing chemicals and Jerry is watching
Doofus Rick: Okay, if we add a little more titanium nitrate, and just a tad of chlorified tartrate
ovenless brownies!
Jerry takes a brownie, eats it and smiles
Jerry
It's incredible what a gifted mind can accomplish when priorities are in order!
Doofus Rick
Well, come on, I can't take all the credit, Jerry. It was your idea. C'mere Jerry!
Both hug and laugh
Jerry
Hey, uh. C'mere, uh. I-I wanna show you something.
They exit the garage and Jerry pulls out a box, then opens it to reveal coins with R2D2s on them
Jerry
Okay, look. Everybody makes fun of me for getting these, but... you're a genius scientist, what do you think? There's little R2D2s where the George Washingtons should be!
Doofus Rick
You know Jerry, I'm not gonna tell you that these will increase in value, or even hold their current value. The truth is... you bought ‘em ‘cause you like ‘em. They have value to you. That's what matters.
Jerry
tearing up How long are you staying?
Doofus Rick
Until we find your Rick.
Jerry
hugging doofus Rick I found mine. I found mine.
Trans. Morty prison. C-137 Morty is bashing at the door. He is approached by a group of Mortys wearing robes and facepaint
Morty (C-137)
Help!
Religious Morty
There is no escape, my son. We will find our peace in the next world.
Religious Morty offers C-137 a pamphlet titled “The Good Morty”
Morty (C-137)
So what? Y-y-y-y-you're just going to give up?
Religious Morty
We're giving in to the power of the One True Morty. One day he will return!
All religious Mortys
Praise the One True Morty!
Morty opens “The Good Morty” to the first page, then scoffs and throws it away
Morty (C-137)
Alright Mortys, listen up! My name is Morty Smith, from Earth dimension C-137! I know you're scared, because I'm scared, but that's no reason to accept our fate. We're Mortys! We're not defined by our relationships to Rick! Our destiny is our own!
Morty 1
This sounds like something the One True Morty might say. I'm sick of being a human shield! I-I-I-I wanna be a gardener!
Morty 2
I wanna write really crazy, intense action novels!
Hammer Morty
I'm more than just a hammer!
Religious Morty
He is the one true Morty! The one true Morty!
All Mortys
Hooray!
The door opens, and a lobster alien walks in
Lobster alien
Hey, keep it down!
All Mortys
Raaaaugh!
The Mortys rush the door, breaking free and charging down the corridor
Trans. Evil Rick's lab. Evil Rick is going through Rick's memories on a screen
Evil Rick
You've lived quite a life, Rick. It's a real shame you're not gonna be around to see it through.
The memories change theme to feature Morty in each one. Rick tears up
Evil Rick
You're crying? Over a Morty?
Rick
No, I'm just allergic to dipshits.
Evil Rick
Ugh, pathetic. We both know that if there's any truth in the universe, it's that Ricks don't care about Mortys.
The Mortys break through the door and rush at Evil Rick, killing the lobster aliens, surrounding him and tearing into him
Evil Rick
Do your worst, you little bastards! Kill me! Do it! Do it!
Evil Rick dies. Morty C-137 appears and approaches Rick
Rick
Morty! Get me out of this! Come on!
Morty (C-137)
You're lucky I'm not a Rick.
Morty C-137 unbuckles Rick from the examination table
Rick
Point taken, but this is belches no time for arcs.
He presses a button, disengaging the Morty shield. Mortys are released and pour down off the dome. Rick grabs a phone and rings home
Rick 1
Yeah, hello?
Rick (C-137)
Hey, what do me and O.J. not have in common?
Rick 1
Huh? Wh-who is this?
Rick (C-137)
I found the real killer, biitch! Get over here!
Trans. Jerry and doofus Rick are playing with legos. Rick 1 opens the door
Rick 1
Yo ding-dong! We're done here. Time to go.
Doofus Rick
Well Jerry, I belches guess this means goodbye.
Jerry
W-w-well, does it have to? Heh, you, you look just like Rick. We could maybe... you know... get rid of him? I'm not saying kill him, necessarily, I-I'm also not saying necessarily not kill him, but-
Doofus Rick
Jerry. W-we both know it wouldn't work. It's time to go back to our lives. I love you, Jerry. I love ya.
Doofus Rick hugs Jerry and leaves. Jerry makes as if to follow him, then stops and punches a wall. The lego castle they built falls apart
Trans. Evil Rick's lab. The Mortys are still fighting. Ricks from the citadel move in and stop each Morty, pulling them off Evil Rick's corpse and bringing them back to the citadel
Morty (C-137)
Wh-wh-what's gonna happen to all these Mortys?
Council Rick 1
They'll go back to their families, attend school regularly, play video games, date girls... poor little Rickless bastards.
Trans. Citadel of Ricks. The council has gathered around C-137 Rick and Morty
Council Rick 1
Earth Rick C-137, the council apologises for its false accusation. And in the way of reparations for our terrible mistake, we would like to compensate you with this voucher for a free replacement Morty, in the event that belches your current belches Morty should-
Rick
Uh, guys? Not a good time. Come on, Morty, let's hit it.
Before they leave, Rick takes the voucher anyway
Trans. Citadel outside. Rick and Morty are walking away from the council
Morty
Is it time for arcs yet, Rick? I did a pretty great job back there for a human cloaking device. Saved your ass.
Rick
Alright, Morty, don't break an arm jerking yourself off.
Morty
Man, I can't believe you, Rick! That right there! Tha-that was a great opportunity to show a little humanity. You know? To connect with me a little?
Rick
Hey Morty, you want connection? Go be part of some stupid club like all those dumb Ricks. You know, maybe I don't connect because I'm the Rickest Rick there is. And you know, it would belch go without saying that the Rickest Rick... would have the Mortyest Morty.
Morty
It would go without saying, huh?
Rick
Yeah, it would. Did you hear me say it?
Morty
Nah... to himself The Mortyest Morty...
Rick
Just don't get too big for your loafers, Buster Brown. A cocky Morty could lead to some big problems. Could be a real bad thing for everybody.
Morty
Oh yeah, how's that?
Rick
I-I-I'll explain when you're older.
Trans. Evil Rick's lab. Evil Rick is lying in a pool of blood being inspected by Ricks. For the Damaged Coda by Blonde Redhead starts playing in the background
Rick 1
What a mess...
Rick 2
Pride cometh before the fall. I guess he got what he deserved.
Rick 1
What is that?
Rick 1 turns Evil Rick's head over to reveal wires
Rick 2
Hand me the laser defibrillator.
Doofus Rick
Hey guys! Uh, c-can I help?
Rick 2
No! Go clean the toilets! Maybe you'll make friends with some turds!
Rick 1
You make us ashamed to be ourselves!
Rick 2 removes the top of Evil Rick's head to reveal electronics woven into his brain. They pull out a chip
Rick 1
My god! I've seen this technology before! This Rick was being controlled remotely, puppeteered by somebody else. This is the receiver!
Rick 2
Yeah, but where's the transmitter?
Trans. Citadel of Ricks. Mortys are being loaded into spaceships to be delivered to their respective dimensions
Evil Morty follows them, and removes his eyepatch, revealing the transmitter. He crushes it underfoot and hides the wires, then follows the rest of the Mortys
Credits play
After credits scene: Jerry is sitting in Rick's bedroom, trying not to cry. Rick enters.
Rick
Wubbalubbadubdub! Oh. Hey Jerry. Wh-wh-what are you doing in my room, buddy?
Jerry
Nothing! I was just, um, checking the smoke detectors.
Rick
Alright. Okay, get out.
Jerry leaves and goes down to the dining room. He looks outside the window and sees doofus Rick standing in the rain and smiles. Rick appears beside Jerry
Rick
What's that dipshit doing out there? Are you friends with him? You know he eats his own shit, right? Oh my god, this is rich! I've got like belches ten Ricks to call right now!

Open Int. Rick's garage.
Rick is dissecting a rat.
Rick
T-t-t-this is just sloppy craftsmanship.
Morty
Hey, Rick. Boy, sure is really especially beautiful out there today, huh?
Rick
Oh, yes, Morty. It's almost unbelievable, isn't it?
Morty
Yeah, you know? There's something about the air. And just the way the sunshine is.
Rick
Oh, sure, buddy. Yeah. Sure. B-brilliant. Very convincing.
Morty
Wh… convincing?
Rick
Oh! Responsive, too! In real time! I love it!
Morty
Uhhokay.
Beth
robotic I'm going to work. Morty, good morning. Dad, good morning. I am going to work. Goodbye. Beth drives away.
Morty
What's with Mom?
Rick
Oh, what's with Mom? So, you're saying that she's acting weird? How soph—burp—isticated. Careful, guys. You're gonna burn out the CPU with this one.
Morty
Okay, you know what, Rick? You're acting weird, too.
Rick
Whatever, quote-unquote "Morty."
Morty
Alright, well I'll see you after school. Walks into the side of the garage. Ow! Oof! Ugh! Damn it! I'm all right. I'm okay.
Trans. Morty's math class
Mr. Goldenfold
Alright, who can tell me what 5 x 9 is? Students whisper. Morty?
Morty
Uh, me?
Mr. Goldenfold
What is 5 x 9?
Morty
Um, you know, it's, uh, at least 40.
Students gasp.
Mr. Goldenfold
Morty, that's exactly correct! 5 x 9 is at least 40! Come up here.
Students cheer.
Jessica
Whoo! Way to go, Morty!
Mr. Goldenfold
Everybody, this is the best student. I want you to be the teacher today. sits down at a desk Teach us, Morty!
Rick
spying from outside Interesting…
Morty
W-w-w-what do you want me to teach you?
Student
Ooh, ooh! How do you make concentrated dark matter?
Mr. Goldenfold
Oh, that's a good question.
Morty
Concentrated huh?
Mr. Goldenfold
Concentrated dark matter. The fuel for accelerated space travel. Now, do you know how to make it?
Morty
Uhhh…
Jessica
Come on, Morty. Isn't your grandpa, like, a scientist?
Morty
Oh, yeah, but, you know, he told me that I shouldn't go around spouting off about, you know, his science and stuff.
Jessica
I bet you've seen him make concentrated dark matter a lot. You know, if you tell us, I'll be your girlfriend.
Morty
Uh, y-you will?
Mr. Goldenfold
Seems like a rare opportunity, Morty.
Rick
kicks open the door Morty, u-uh, come on. There's a family emergency.
Rick grabs Morty by one arm. Mr. Goldenfold grabs the other.
Mr. Goldenfold
Stop right there! If he leaves, I'm giving him an F!
Rick
He doesn't care.
Morty
Aw, man! Rick drags him to the locker room. Rick, I have to go back! I think I was about to get married! falls down Ugh!
Rick
Take a shower with me, Morty.
Morty
What?!
Rick
Listen to me, Morty. Get your clothes off and get in the shower right now. strips Y-y-y-you got to trust me, Morty.
Morty
Ugh! I'm gonna get an F in class, Rick. strips
Rick
Morty, that's not class. T-t-t-that wasn't your teacher. This isn't your school. This entire world is not the world. We're inside a huge simulation chamber on an alien spaceship.
Morty
Wait a minute. W-what are you talking about?
Rick
It's all fake burps Morty, all of it. Nanobotic renderings, a bunch of… crazy, fake nonsense, Morty. I couldn't say so until we got in the shower. They won't monitor us in here.
Morty
Monitor us?! looks around and tries to cover himself W-who?!
Rick
Zigerion scammers, Morty. The galaxy's most ambitious, least successful con artists. You know, it's lucky for us they're also really uncomfortable with nudity.
Morty
Aw, come on, Rick. If everyone's just gonna be insane today, at least let me be insane with Jessica.
Rick
I can't let you do that, Morty.
Rick grabs Morty's clothes and they begin fighting over them.
Morty
Give it to me!
Rick
No! You give it to me!
Morty
G-g-give it!
Rick
Morty, come on! Morty!
Morty
No, Rick!
View of simulated world expands out to reveal they're in an enormous spacecraft.
Trans. Zigerion control room
Zigerions groan and look away from the monitors with disgust.
Zigerion 1
Oh, god, sir! They're still naked! Ugh.
Prince Nebulon
Well, check every five quintons and tell me when they're not!
Zigerion 1
I think we should make Kevin look, sir.
Kevin
What?! No! W-w-why would you even say that?
Stu
Uh, sir, we have a situation over here.
Prince Nebulon
If there's a wiener on that monitor, I swear to god, Stu.
Stu
Something is drawing a lot of processing power. Oh, wait. No wonder. Jerry appears on a large screen. There's another real human in the simulator.
Jerry
Okay, Jerry, big pitch meeting. Make-or-break time. trims nostril hairs while driving You can do this.
Prince Nebulon
How did this happen?! Where's the Abductions Department?
Zigerion 2
Hey, man, Abductions just follows the acquisition order.
Zigerion 3
Don't put this on Acquisitions! We only acquire humans that haven't been simulated!
Kevin
Well, Simulations doesn't simulate anybody that's been abducted, so—
Prince Nebulon
Oh, I see! Oh, oh! It was no one's fault. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Well, then, problem solved. Oh, wait no. shouts There's still another human in here! Who is he?
Stu
Rick's son-in-law, Jerry Smith. So far, he hasn't noticed he's in a simulation.
Prince Nebulon
sighs Well, cap his sector at 5% processing, keep his settings on auto, and we'll deal with him later. Rick Sanchez is the target.
Trans. Jerry's car
Jerry
inhales deeply Gotta relax. It's just a pitch. Gotta relax.
He turns on the radio.
Radio
This is earth radio. And now, here's…human music.
Repetitive rhythmic beeping.
Jerry
Hmm. Human music. I like it. rocks head side to side in rhythm with the music
Pan out to see Jerry's sector of the simulation, followed by a transition to Rick and Morty's.
Rick and Morty pant as they run naked down the street. Rick shoves their clothes into a sewer.
Morty
Rick!
Rick
Uhp, uhp, uhp! Morty, keep your hands off your ding-dong! It's the only way we can speak freely. Look around you, Morty. Do you really think this world is real? You'd have to be an idiot not to notice all the sloppy details. Look, that guy's putting a bun between two hot dogs.
Morty
I don't know, Rick. I mean, I've seen people do that before.
Rick
Well, look at that old lady. She's, she's walking a cat on a leash.
Morty
Uh, Mrs. Spencer does that all the time, Rick.
Rick
Look, I-I-I don't wanna hear about Mrs. Spencer, Morty! She's an idiot! Alright, alright, there. W-what about that, Morty?
A Poptart walks out of a toaster house and into a toaster car before driving away.
Morty
Okay, okay, you got me on that one.
Rick
Oh, really, Morty? Are you sure you haven't seen that somewhere in real life before?
Morty
No, no. I haven't seen that. I mean, why would a Poptart wanna live inside a toaster, Rick? I mean, that would be, like, the scariest place for them to live. You know what I mean?
Rick
You're missing the point, Morty. Why would he drive a smaller toaster with wheels? I mean, does your car look like a smaller version of your house? No.
Morty
So, why are they doing this? W-what do they want?
Rick
Well, that would be obvious to you, Morty, if you'd been paying attention.
Siren wails. Ambulance drives up to them and the doors open.
Paramedic
We got the president of the United States in here! We need 10cc of concentrated dark matter, stat, or he'll die!
Rick slams the ambulance doors shut and starts walking off.
Morty
Concentrated dark matter! They were asking about that in class.
Rick
Yeah, it's a special fuel I invented to travel through space faster than anybody else. These Zigerions are always trying to scam me out of my secrets, but they made a big mistake this time, Morty. They dragged you into this. Now they're gonna pay!
Morty
Wait, wha, w-w-what are we gonna do?
Rick
We'll scam the scammers, Morty. And we're gonna take them for everything they've got.

Hey! I just sold my first pitch!
Old man
Slow down!
Woman
Lookin' good.
Mailman
My man!
Jerry dials on his cellphone. As he walks, he passes the same three people repeatedly.
Simulation Beth
at Simulation Smith house
answers phone Hello.
Jerry
Guess who just sold the apples campaign.
Simulation Beth
Who just sold the apples campaign?
Jerry
Me! I guess it wasn't a rip-off of "got milk?" after all. Guess someone was wrong.
Simulation Beth
Yes.
Jerry
Well, all is forgiven, because right now, I've got an erection the size of an East Coast lighthouse, and I'm coming home to share it with my beautiful wife.
Simulation Beth
Okay.
Jerry
Wait, really?
Simulation Beth
Yes.
Jerry
Yes! See you in 10 minutes! hangs up, shouts Hey! I'm going to make love to my wife!
Woman
Lookin' good.
Old man
Slow down!
Mailman
My man! glitches into a tree
Trans. Backstage
Rick is decked out in chains and adjusts his clothes to look more disheveled.
Morty
Aw, geez, Rick. I-I don't know if I like this plan,you know? I mean, crowds, t-t-t-they have a tendency to make me really nervous.
Rick
Morty, relax. It's just a bunch of 1s and 0s out there. You're gonna be fine. Lowers Morty's pants slightly and puts a hat on him. Just follow my lead. Rick and Morty fist bump. Yo, deejay, drop that beat.
Trans. Stage in park
Hip-hop beat plays. Crowd cheers.
Rick
Uh-oh, Morty. This crowd looks too small for one of our famous rap concerts. I don't think we can perform our new song, "The Recipe for Concentrated Dark Matter," for a crowd this tiny.
Morty
You got that right, Rick.
Hordes of people appear from all directions and congregate in the park.
Rick
Now that's more like it! Morty, here we go. Let me hear everybody say "hey-oh!" yeah! Crowd cheers. All the ladies say, "yeah!" Ladies cheer. Everybody over thirty, do this with your hands! Everybody with a red shirt, jump up and down! People start glitching.
Trans. Smith house
Jerry
kisses Beth, who is still in front of the phone Mm. Mm. Mm. Yeah, don't move. Mm, mm, mm, mm! Mm!
Trans. Park
Rick
Yo, everyone whose first name begins with an "L" who isn't Hispanic, walk in a circle the same number of times as the square root of your age times ten! Simulation freezes. Rick and Morty jump offstage. Run, Morty! Before the system reboots!
Trans. Ext. Smith house.
Jerry
Yeah! You like that? Now who's unremarkable? You hungry for apples? Are you hungry for apples?!
Trans. Beth and Jerry's bedroom.
Jerry lies in bed beside Beth, who is frozen in place.
Jerry
Oh, my god. That's the best sex I've ever had in my life. It's… it's too good. I don't deserve this, Beth. I'm a fraud.
Trans. Rick and Morty running through frozen simulation.
Morty
Oh, man, Rick! W-w-w-where we running to?
Rick
Out of the simulation, Morty. Normally, the chamber operates like a treadmill, with the virtual world disappearing behind us and being rendered in front of us as we move through it, but while it's frozen, Morty, we can get to…the edge. Here we go. jumps off the edge
Morty
Holy crap!
Rick
Come on, Morty.
Morty
jumps off edge
Trans. Control room
Zigerion
Sir, they're over the edge.
Prince Nebulon
Yes, they are. Just as planned. evil laughter, others join in Oh, this is going to be such a mindfuck!
Trans. Corridor in spacecraft
Rick
Keep your eyes peeled for the central processing room, Morty. That's how we're gonna scam these idiots.
Morty
So, hey, why do these aliens keep coming after you, Rick, if you're so much smarter than them?
Rick
It's an obsession for them at this point. The Zigerions have been trying to outsmart me for years, Morty. Every time they do, I'm one step ahead of them. finds central processing room Aha! Here we go. starts collecting chips Grab as many processors as you can carry, Morty. These guys aren't good at much, but they're really good at making these chips.
Morty
I've got so many, I can barely hold them all! holding chips in his shirt Look at, look at this. Oops. I dropped one.
Rick
Don't worry about it, Morty. There's plenty of them, you little goofball. Both laugh and toss chips at each other playfully. Come here, Morty! Oh, I gotcha!
Morty
Come on, quit it, Rick! Quit it!
Rick
Nothing wrong with just a little bit of horseplay every now and then, little fella.
They sneak towards the escape pods. Rick throws a chip and distracts the guards while they steal a pod and fly away.
Morty
Wow. What do you know? Huh. That was easy.
Rick
Totes malotes, dawg.
Morty
Just kind of hard to believe, you know?
Rick
Believe it, Morty. And once again, I'm flying away with everything I can carry, and the Zigerions got nothing of mine.
Trans. Jerry's boss's office
Jerry
Mr. Marklevitz, do you have a minute to talk?
Mr. Marklevitz
snaps fingers Yes.
Jerry
Look, I'm a fraud. I mean, let's face it. "Hungry for apples" is just a rip-off of "Got milk?" It's almost identical.
Mr. Marklevitz
snaps fingers Yes.
Jerry
Okay. I deserve that. Um, I guess I'll just pack up my desk.
Mr. Marklevitz
snaps fingers Yes.
Jerry
crying Oh my god. Wait. You know what?! No! The milk people don't have a patent on simple rhetorical questions! Y-You— There's not even a single word in "Hungry for Apples" that's shared by "Got milk?" It's a completely different slogan. It's different! And I shouldn't be fired. I should be promoted!
Mr. Marklevitz
snaps fingers Yes.
Jerry
Yeah! Wait. Really?
Mr. Marklevitz
snaps fingers Yes.
Jerry
Yes! I mean, it may be derivative, but it's the most successful campaign to come out of this agency in a long time.
Mr. Marklevitz
snaps fingers Yes.
Jerry
I-I'm not saying it should win an award for commercials, but it could certainly be nominated for an award for commercials specifically about apples, like an Appley or something.
Mr. Marklevitz
snaps fingers Yes.
Jerry
Is there really an award called the Appley for apple-related ad campaigns?
Mr. Marklevitz
snaps fingers Yes.
Jerry
Could we nominate me?
Mr. Marklevitz
snaps fingers Yes.
Jerry
Holy crap!
Jerry runs out. Mr. Marklevitz glitches.
Trans. Ext. Smith house
Rick and Morty get out of the escape pod and head into the garage with the chips.
Rick
Get in, Morty. I'm gonna be able to use these processors to make some real important science stuff. Keypad beeps. Huh. I thought I entered the code right. Keypad beeps.
Second level simulation vanishes.
Prince Nebulon
Well, what's this? W-what could this possibly be? Because it looks like you're inside a simulation…inside a simulation. You're still on the ship. Game-day bucket go boom!
Cynthia
Sir, the, uh, doctor's appointment to examine the discoloration on your butthole flaps was—
Prince Nebulon
Too loud, Cynthia. Too loud and too specific.
Rick
Uhh…
Prince Nebulon
We've known how to make concentrated dark matter for a long time. But now we also know the code to your fabled safe, Rick Sanchez! All your most valuable secrets will now be ours!
Rick
Uh, yeah, until I get home before you and change the combination, you bunch of idiots!
Prince Nebulon
That is why you're never getting home. Get them!
Guards try to grab Rick and Morty. Rick pulls down Morty's pants and all the Zigerions back away in disgust.
Rick
RUN MORTY!
Morty pulls up his pants. They run through the spacecraft and are chased by Zigerions.
Morty
Oh my god!
Trans. Appley Awards
Jerry
I got to tell you, this morning, I didn't even know this award existed. Now I'm holding one. And, um… Look, I want to say that today was the best day of my life But the truth is, it's, it's more meaningful than that.
Mailman
My man!
Jerry
Yes. Thank you, sir. I am finally complete!
Everyone glitches into the mailman.
Mailmen
My my my my man!
Simulation continues glitching badly.
Jerry
Aah! What the hell?! Appley award glitches out of existence. No.
Rick and Morty run into the room.
Rick
Jerry?!
Morty
Dad!
Rick
What are you doing here? W-why are you dressed like a waiter? Screw it. We don't have time. Come on. starts dragging Jerry with them
Jerry
sobbing No!
Chase continues. The three make it onto a spaceship.
Rick
Man up, Jerry! I may need you to work the lasers.
Morty
Oh, man! They're hot on our tail, Rick!
Rick
I guess they really do have concentrated dark matter.
Morty
Well, you know how to make it, too, right, Rick?
Rick
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, check the engine room. We just need cesium, Plutonic quarks, and bottled water.
Morty
Whoa! It's all here, Rick!
Rick
Wow, Morty. Lucky break. Grab that bucket. Okay, two parts Plutonic quarks, one part cesium.
Morty
Okay. Uh-huh. Alright.
Rick
Now empty the water bottle into the bucket and pour it all into the fuel tank so we can get the hell out of here! What are you doing, Morty?! There's no time!
Morty
freezes up
Rick
Oh, no.
Simulation breaks down...again.
Jerry
What the…?
Rick
No!
Prince Nebulon
laughing Oh my god, Rick. How dumb are you? You're inside a simulation of a simulation…inside another giant simulation! laughs harder W-we never had the recipe for concentrated dark matter. But we do now! We do now, sucka!
Rick
You simulated my grandson's genitalia?! Y-y-you bunch of diabolical sons of bitches!
Zigerion 1
Kevin fought real hard to supervise that project.
Kevin
You said you weren't gonna tell anyone! I'm never gonna live this down, am I?
Rick
All right. Okay. All right, great. Wonderful. You win. Can we go home now?
Zigerion 1
I don't know. Can you?
Prince Nebulon
Ha! fist bumps
Nice. Okay, okay. Show this gullible turd to his shuttle. I'm done with him. Oh, wait. Let me get a picture. snaps a selfie of himself with Rick Aww. Look at his face. He's trying to figure out if He's in a simulation still. Are you, Rick? Are you? laughs, walks away You're not. walks back Or are you? Rick and Jerry leave.
shouts after them Oh, a-and, by the way, I don't have discolored butthole flaps. That was part of the simulation.
Cynthia
Oh. Uh, sir, should I cancel that appointment, then?
Prince Nebulon
loudly Yeah! Of course you should! to Cynthia No, keep it. Move it up, actually, if you can.
Trans. Shuttle to Earth
Rick
Hey, Jerry, don't worry about it. So what if the most meaningful day of your life was a simulation operating at minimum capacity?
Jerry
You know what, Rick? Those guys took you for a ride, too. You should try having a little respect for the dummies of the universe, now that you're one of us.
Rick
Maybe you're right, Jerry. Maybe you're right.
Trans. Zigerion space craft, control room
The Zigerions are celebrating their victory with a party.

Whoa! What the hell?! W-what happened back there?

Why don't you ask the smartest people in the universe, Jerry? Oh, yeah. You can't. They blew up.

Jerry pitches "Hungry for Apples" in reality.
Jerry
So… What do you think?
Mr. Marklevitz
You're fired.
Jerry
Wha--? But t-this idea was tested in a state-of-the-art simulation.
Mr. Marklevitz
Well, then, it was a terrible simulation. Get out.
Jerry hangs his head and leaves.
Mr. Marklevitz
Man, how does a guy like that go home and have sex with his wife?

Morty, I need your help.
W-W-W-We We need to go on a quick adventure.
morty You said I could go to school today.
rick That was before I needed something, Morty.
There's a plasma shard in the Abadango Cluster.
A princess has it.
If I get it, I'll be awesome.
rick We've been going non-stop, Rick.
It's not healthy.
You know, these are my teenage years.
I-I just found out Jessica's single.
Oh, that's Wow, Morty.
Wow.
What an exciting life you lead.
Let's go.
In and out, 20 minutes adventure.
rick They're on our tail! Steady, Morty.
Five cetons.
Steady, God damn it! Two cetons.
Wha! Fire! Pull up, Morty, pull up! Pull up! [ Bleep ] Oh, [Bleep] [ Bleep ] Ahh! Ahh! I can't [bleep] do this anymore! That was seriously [bleep] up.
rick We almost died.
morty So you agree?
rick [Bleep] yes! That w T-This was insane! That was pure luck.
I was not in control of that situation at all.
Look at this, Morty.
Look at my [bleep] hand.
Look at this shit.
morty Why do you keep doing this to us?!
rick I don't know, Morty.
Maybe I hate myself, maybe I think I deserve to die.
I-I-I-I don't I don't know! We need a vacation.
[opening credits]
rick Isn't that something?
morty You were right Best day spa in the galaxy.
rick It's not even cruel, either.
These things are just doing what they do in the wild It loves swallowing stressed-out creatures for 20 minutes and then puking them up.
morty My whole body's like a baby's ass.
spa employee Complimentary psychological detox? Removes all your cognitive toxins, purifies your system.
rick Oof, this guy on commission or something?
morty I don't think
rick Are you on commission?
spa employeeWe're not on commission. We get paid by the hour. There's no incentive really
rick Oh, my God.
Okay, listen W-W-W-We'll try the machine, but but I'd like you to try something.
Try swallowing the giant ball of snot that's dangling around in the back of your throat.
It's disgusting.
Nobody wants to hear that.
That's what you do.
morty Okay, Rick, come on.
Enough.
rick Man, did you hear me bite that guy's head off? Geez, I really need to chill.
morty Maybe you should go through twice.
rick All right, mister comedy man, you don't have to bust my balls.
You're not helping things.
morty Rick, is this thing supposed to be making this
rick Morty! -
morty Ri-Rick -
rick Morty!
morty What happened?
rick We blew up, idiot! Are you really that stupid? Obviously the guy I yelled at overloaded the machine.
It takes more than that to kill Rick and Morty, mother[bleep]! But this might do it.
rick Run, Morty!
morty E-Everything hurts!
rick That's because you're worthless!
morty Jesus, how big was this explosion?
rick I'm a genius.
I don't have time for this [bleep].
morty W-W-We're in Hell, aren't we, Rick? -
morty You're so stupid, Morty.
- You're an idiot.
There's no such thing as Hell.
morty I believe you, but I just want to die.
rick You can die when I say so.
I control you.
I control the universe! Why am I bragging about that? I have nothing to prove.
I'm surrounded by inferior pieces of [bleep] and Toxins.
We're not in Hell, Morty.
We're in the detoxifier.
The machine didn't blow up.
It worked normally.
It removed our toxins.
We're the toxins.
Are you listening, you stupid little garbage person?! We're what got removed!!
spa employee I hope you both found that detox sufficiently relaxing.
rick Hey, man, listen Those comments I made about your throat?
spa employee It's all good.
rick It's nice of you to let me off the hook.
It's still unacceptable behavior, and I do regret it.
spa employee Believe me, man, I've been working here a long time.
I get it.
morty Hey, uh, you mind if I put on some music?
rick Not at all. Grab my terrifolds What is that?
morty I just hit shuffle.
rick Are you kidding? -This universe. Oh, excuse me.
morty We should listen to one random song a day, you know? We'd end up hearing more songs we didn't like, but we'd discover a lot more that we did.
rick That is an interesting concept.
You know, it makes me wonder if there's an algorithmic expression that could achieve the ideal ratio.
Listen to me Trying to calculate happiness over here.
morty Hoo, if anyone could, Rick.
rick Hey, here's something no science could measure I'm real proud to be your grandpa, Morty.
morty Thanks, Rick.
I love you.
rick Yeah, mother[bleep]! Yeah! Get it! Get some! Right up your [bleep] bitch ass, you [bleep]! Guess who just discovered a new element?! You think you could do that, Morty? You think anyone but me could do that ever in a billion years? Do you think if God existed he could do it? The answer is no.
If God exists, it's [bleep] me.
morty Yes, Rick. I-I agree, Rick.
rick While you were flapping your parasitic turd holster, I discovered the toxic equivalent of electricity, Morty.
What do you think about that?
morty Uh I th I think my voice is annoying.
rick It is, and it's your best quality.
morty So true.
math teacher Now, who can tell me the common denominator of these two factions? You don't know or y'all just bored?
morty Hey, listen, you know, wha If we're all bored over here, wouldn't the common denominator be you?
math teacher Damn, Morty. That's hilarious. Normally I would come down on any kind of disruption, but it seems to represent a positive change for your character.
Class dismissed! -
kid1 Awesome, Morty! -
kid2 You done good, Morty.
kid3 Oh, yeah! Thanks for the advice, Morty.
morty You got it.
kid4 I did it, Morty!
morty I knew you could.
mitch Hey, Morty, remember yesterday when I couldn't play the trombone? Well, check this out!
morty Just like I told you, Mitch The music was in your heart the whole time.
goth girl Stupid hat Wish I had the courage to just be myself.
There you are.
jock You might have all these idiots fooled, but I know you're still the same pathetic loser hiding behind a confident facade.
I know that because I'm doing the same thing, brother.
I'm not alone anymore!
jessica Hey, Morty.
Word around school is you've become super healthy.
morty I don't know about all that.
I do, however, know that I have a pretty bad case of haven't taken you to dinner-itis.
Might be fatal.
rick Hey, kids.
Uh, hope I'm not interrupting.
Morty, a moment of your time?
morty Happy to help, Rick.
rick I hate to bug you with this, but after our morning hike I started receiving very faint, highly unusual transmissions on my sub ether phone.
Listen.
morty It's a bad phone. Chuck it. I downgraded to a clamshell for emergencies only.
You know, if if if something's worth saying, I-it's worth eye contact.
rick Uh, I-I-I traced the source of the call back to the spa we went to, Morty.
I thought I could hear a voice in there, so I enhanced it, a-and listen.
rick Hey, asshole!
morty Oh, man!
rick Remember us?
morty Oh, I don't like confrontation!
rick You [bleep] us, you pieces of garbage! That's right, you're [bleep] garbage, not us.
I'm a [bleep] genius and a god.
You really think this thing can hold me? I'm gonna rip your throat
rick Morty, what if the toxic parts of us have their own identities, their own will to live? W-What if mine shares my intelligence and devised a way to reach out to us? Sounds like he's in a lot of pain.
Lot.
O.
Pain.
morty But, you know, you shouldn't have to deal with that, man.
You know, l-let's work off your trauma with some urban spin yoga.
It's amazing.
You do yoga on a bike, but you have an at-risk preteen
rick I don't think I can just blow this off, Morty.
If I had known it worked this way, I wouldn't have detoxed.
Well, I would have because I was toxic.
Now I'm detoxed and I'm accountable to my toxins, right?
I-It's a dilemma.
I think I know what to do.
Morty!
morty Rick! You know, the only problem here is a big fat brain that misses eating all them big fat problems.
Focus on the good thing.
Trust me, things are good.
Taking that away from me that wouldn't be healthy.
Oh, man.
World's Greatest Grandpa, for reals.
It's not just a coffee cup for you, bud.
You're legit.
[restaurant]
morty I love drums.
I never took drum lessons.
Why? Limitations.
We are addicted to our own limitations.
How amazing is that? Is the kale prepared in the kitchen? I'll have a water.
Uh How is the "cru-dite?"
waiter Crudité.
morty It's a cup of carrot sticks.
Ha! It's okay! Pronounce it however you want.
Words are just things.
Please.
Thank you.
We're having a conversation.
God, I am so excited to finally have dinner with you.
You know how long I've been waiting for this? It's like, whew! I-I-I wish you'd shut up, though.
Just kidding.
You know, you're so quiet.
What's wrong? W-Why don't you tell me about yourself? What's the atmosphere like on planet Jessica? Where's the equator, what are the vacations, a-and the holidays? I mean, you know, are they the same time? Talk to me.
jessica Well I like this restaurant.
morty Holy [bleep]! Holy [bleep]! We have a moron over here! I'm an idiot.
I can't believe I haven't thought of this.
You have to do this detox thing I did.
It's an alien spa, you go through it, fwoos-s-s-ssh, lasers, bwaa-bwaa-bwaa sucks everything out.
Everything that was holding me back, everything bad, I mean, it just Right?
jessica Cooooool.
Oh, my God! I can't believe this.
morty Yeah, phones are awful, I downgraded to I totally forgot my I have a thing, and Things are good.
You know what? Why am I doing that? That's more rude than the truth.
jessica Look, I'm sorry, Morty.
I just don't think
morty Do not.
Even.
You have no need to explain.
It's all good.
jessica I think you'd get bored with me.
morty E-Exactly.
Look, the sparks aren't flying.
This is what dating is for, you know? First date, no sparks.
No damage, no worries.
Life is a highway.
We're gonna ride it all night lonnngg! Gonna eat some "crudite.
" Mmm! Is this organic? Mmm.
All right.
You know, the evening continues.
Okay, here we go.
Ma'am, I'm afraid I have some bad news for you.
Your money's no good here.
I'll I'll get the next round, sir.
stacy Aren't you a child?
morty Only in the ways that matter.
Morty.
stacy Stacy.
morty I've been watching you drink, Stacy.
I get the feeling you've got a hard job.
I wonder what it takes to please you.
That's the job I want Part time, full time, I want to be good at it, bad at it, I want to get promoted, fired, corner office, hostile takeover, workplace accident I'm on my knees, Stacy Praying, worshipping, begging, whatever you want.
What do you think about that?
stacy Okay.
morty [Bleep] it.
Tink.
Mm! Let's ask my grandpa.
He's a scientist.
Hey, Rick, are you familiar with "benoi" technology?
rick Morty, great news.
I went back to the spa and they let me purchase the containment unit from their detoxifier.
morty Why?
rick Because we're coming home, bitch!
morty What is this?
rick This is the parts of your pussy grandpa that keep it real.
Oh oh, and I think you dropped something, too!
morty I don't want to be on camera.
I'm ugly and gross, please.
stacy Should I go?
morty You're your own person, Stacy.
stacy Then I'd like to stay.
morty Rick, please tell me you're not trying to put that stuff back inside of us.
rick Morty, I'm sorry.
That stuff is alive and it belongs with us.
We yanked them from their homes and locked them in a can.
Mother[bleep]! See? They're living in pain.
morty That's what they do, Rick, they live in pain.
They are pain, you know? They they're all the bad parts of us, which, by the way, includes our dishonesty, so how do you know this isn't all some sort of crazy trick?
rick Oh, so now because I'm made entirely of toxins I'm also a liar? [Bleep] you, you little sociopath.
You hear this, Morty?
morty Oh, everybody hates me.
I can tell.
Y-You all hate me
rick All right, shut up, Morty.
Healthy Rick, are we doing this or what?
Yep.
Sorry, Morty.
I need you to step into the booth.
Don't negotiate with that little turd, dummy.
You're the Rick.
You need to show dominance.
Morty, booth, now.
Booth! Come on, Morty.
Don't touch me! Morty, do the healthy thing and voluntarily retoxify yourself.
Nooooo! Is it wrong if I think this is kind of hot? Let me out of here! Stacy, help! Open the door! I need to hear our safe word, Morty.
Sea Cucumber! Sea Cucumber! What are you doing? I'll do anything for you, Morty.
No! It worked! Yes! That idiot believed every word.
Now let's see how he enjoys living in that shit tank.
He's right behind me, isn't he? He's in front of you.
Oh.
My eyes are still adjusting.
Uh, is this like a sex dungeon? I guess I should've been paying attention.
After 70 years of being bottled up inside a sentimental jackass, I finally get to live my own life.
You said we were merging.
I lied, dumbass! I lie about everything! Why would I ever re-merge with a pussy like you? So you were just gonna trap us in that tank? T-That was your plan? Not was, mother[bleep] still is.
Kill him, Rick! I don't like this! This is scary! All right, you asked for it.
Did I ask for this? Did I ask for this? Huh? Did I? Assessing threat to groin.
Groin System 6000.
Kill him! That is my groin's user.
Believe me, I got a lot more use out of that thing than he ever did.
You know what? Not my table.
You do know me.
What the hell, Grandpa Rick? [Bleep] you, Summer! Sorry, Summer! Okay, okay, take it easy.
Don't do it.
I love you.
Good boy.
Daddy's little boy.
Summer, get out of here! Go! Oh, who's that? Who's that over there? Oh, no.
You see the bad man in front of you? You're a good little boy, you're gonna get him.
You're gonna get him.
Ahh! Son of a Ahh! Nice try, asshole.
We can resolve our issues.
We don't need to resort to over-the-top Aah! I-I did it, Rick.
I got the tank! I-I'm a piece of [bleep], but I got the tank! You're going in that tank, mother[bleep].
You're gonna live in that toxic [bleep] wasteland like I had to do! Ahh! Ow! That's right, mother You're going in that [bleep] Dads? Okay, just Just leave her out of it.
What's going on? All right, [bleep] this.
Time for plan B If I can't trap you in a toxic world, I'll just make the whole world toxic.
It's okay, girls.
I-I'm so sorry I put us in danger with some of my behavior.
I-If you'd like I can go out in the g-garden, pick some fresh basil, and make us a nice Scallopini.
What did the booger version of you mean when he said he was going to make the whole world toxic? Believe me, sweetie, that man's motivations are a mystery.
Screw that, Rick.
We got to stop him.
What's the last thing you'd think about doing with that tank thing? Morty, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but it's not our place, you know, to pick and choose which world gets saved from what apocalypse.
Our our toxins have as much a right to their worldview as Morty, how is it healthy to slap me? Obviously my version of health is a hell of a lot different from yours, you useless old turd.
Wait.
That's it.
How could that detox machine know the difference between healthy and sick for everything that goes through it? It can't.
It must be by the individual's own definition of toxicity.
That means Dad! What the What the hell, Rick? I'll explain on the way.
This "Moon Tower," Morty, is the perfect height and metallic composition for the amplification and beaming of toxic energies.
What do you think about that, Morty? Are you excited about that, Morty? Oh, man.
I'm just freaked out.
I-It's too high up here.
Once I flip this switch, the entire world is gonna be just as toxic as us, baby.
As we praise our loving Father God is a lie! We made him up for money! Santa Claus isn't real.
You were all mistakes! We [bleep] did it, Morty.
Put your [bleep] hands in the air.
Yeah, you little piece of [bleep].
Remember me? Didn't you learn last time that you can't beat me? Yeah, I did.
And then I learned something else.
- This.
- Ahh!! That bullet is laced with an encrypted nanobotic virus that will disintegrate your Morty in about, ah, 20 minutes.
You think I give a [bleep]? I know you give a [bleep], dummy.
Because I know I don't.
Here's another thing I know The decryption key that neutralizes the virus.
You want it? Come and get it.
Merge with me and you'll know how to save him.
Pfft.
Come on, man.
I've been trapped in your pussy brain for 70 years of delusions, but this is the all-time weakest bluff that I've ever Ow-Ohh!! Jesus Christ! What are you doing?! He's cutting your time in half.
10 minutes.
Ohh! It hurts! What is your problem? Oh, I had all my problems removed my entitlement, my narcissism, my crippling loneliness, my irrational attachments.
They must be somewhere.
They ain't over here, bro.
I'm not going back in there! Honestly, I don't care either way.
I hate having you in me.
And when I say "honestly" you can believe it, because we both know I'm too healthy to lie.
Watch.
All right! Knock it off! You're not impressing anyone.
Morty, not that I give a [bleep], but are you okay? Jesus Christ, it hurts.
Relax, quit your bitching.
Y-You're gonna be fine.
Grandpa's here.
You think that's funny? Y-You got to have a sense of humor about these things.
Oh, wait, you can't.
You're literally incapable of seeing the bigger picture.
I guess it's just funny because you've never done anything but complain about me being in charge, but if I ever gave you the wheel we'd be dead in five minutes.
- Rick? - You poor, dumb, sick animal.
Rick? Ahh! Just do it! Just do it, you piece of I'm back, baby! Regular Rick! Master of both worlds! Check it it out! "Excuse me.
" Now we'll just reverse this hacky toxicity beam.
Man, I really over think shit when I'm angry.
Oh, give it to me.
Mm, ma-mah.
God is not a lie.
Mommy! Mommy! Ha! All right, Morty, now it's time we re-merge your little ass.
You're a better man than me, Rick.
I'm healthy enough to admit that! That kid is a real piece of [bleep].
Y-Y-You're gonna save me, right? Part of me wanted to, Toxic Morty.
Part of me really wanted to.
I'm telling you, these shares are hot.
Yeah.
That sounds like a good idea.
It's definitely a good idea.
Duane, Duane, Duane, I get it, now can you get me? Have I ever lied to you? That's right, and ask around, I never do, Duane.
Let me put this real simple.
This stock is a beautiful redhead, recently single, not looking to date but ready to fall in love, and fate has put her locker two down from yours, Duane Two lockers down.
So step up or step off, Duane.
Blue pill or red pill, what'll be, bro? Totally understand, Duane.
You're the boss.
Hainholz Biotech Million and a half at thirty-three.
Heh.
You little [bleep] monster.
Mmm! Is this organic? Mmm! Go for Morty.
Hi, Morty.
It's Jessica.
Look, can we just talk for a minute? Is that how long it takes for Rick to trace my location? Come back, Morty.
I miss you.
You miss the old me.
You miss someone that loved you so much you never had to love 'em back.
How do you know I don't want to love you? Because I'm not sick.
Ex-girlfriend? Should I be jealous? There's nothing to be jealous of.
I just realized that I'm scheduled to speak at that fundraiser on our date night.
I can cancel.
We'll be together.
That's a date.
You are the perfect man.
Oh, sweetie, I think you hit the wrong button.
You didn't hang up.
Huh.
How 'bout that? Sorry, tiny American Psycho, time to take the opposite of your medicine.
Do what you got to do.
Oh! Ow! Ahh! So, how do you feel, Morty? Ah, geez.
I'm miserable.
Am I good or what? I guess it's worth it, though, to know how much you care.
Care? Me? Morty, I'm fine with you.
I only did this for him.
You lying bitch.
She kept coming to our house, Morty, and kept asking me.
"Did did d-did you get a new Morty yet?" Because you kept drunk dialing me and crying about it.
I wasn't crying! Jacquelyn, I I-I-I wasn't who I said I was.
You weren't a 14-year-old boy from the Midwest who ran away from his family and capitalized on his lack of conscience by becoming a stock broker? Oh.
I guess I was pretty up front about that, wasn't I? You were up front about everything.
You were my soul mate.
Well N Not anymore.
I'll, um Y-You can keep the apartment, and and and, uh the drones.
She can't keep the drones.
They turn into a little Voltron robot.
They're awesome.
You can't keep the drones.
So, how was your date with Brad? It wasn't a date.
We were just having lunch.
You guys are getting back together, aren't you? Morty, I need your help on an adventure.
Eh, "need" is a strong word.
We need door stops, but a brick would work, too.
Okay.
Morty.
Good to have you back.
Have you ever been peed on before? Oh, my God.
Yum.
Hey, did you ever want to hold a terrifold? I got one right here Grab my terri-flap Squeeze it Grab it, squeeze it Tug on my terri-flap Hey, I want to take you to The terrifold dance Wanna come with me? You can grab my holdie-folds Squeeze 'em tight You son of a bitch Suck my holdie-flappy folds Lick my flappy foldie-holes My terri-flaps in your mouth Suck my flaps, you piece of shit Whoo Although only a handful of moon towers remain today, they were popular in the late 19th century.
An entire town could be illuminated by What the hell is this? Sea Cucumber! Sea Cucumber!! Did you get any of that?

Open Ext. Rick's Ship in flying through a planet's rings
(Morty is in the backseat, Summer is in the starboard seat, Rick is driving)
All
: (singing) Love. Connection. Experience.
(Morty claps)
Rick
: Yeah Morty
All
: (singing) Come together. With love. connection, experience! [laughter]
Rick
: It's my favourite song
Morty
: Hahahahaha, yeah
(distress beacon alert chimes)
Rick
: Oh yeah, distress beacon! [belches] Yeah baby!
Morty
: You're excited about that?
Rick
: The first rule of space travel kids, is always check out distress beacons; nine out of ten times its a ship full of dead aliens and a bunch of free shit!
[Rick makes a sharp turn]
In unison
Morty
: Whoa!
Summer
: Whoa!
end unison
Rick
: One out of ten times its a deadly trap, but I'm ready to roll those dice!
[Trans. flying toward S.S. Independence]
[Trans. Rick, Morty, and Summer entering corridor]
Summer
: Seems like something terrible happened here.
Rick
: Yeah. Cha-ching. Oh yeah, if you find a room full of eggs, don't shy away from it, give one of them a shake. Those facehuggers are worth more than this ship.
(Rick is spray-painting a symbol on a closed door)
Morty
: Uh, what's that?
Rick
: This will make the cops write it up as a looting by the Korblocks.
Summer
: That's horrible!
Rick
: I hear you man, cops are racist.
(A door behind them opens with six crewmembers)
Rick
: Oh, hey! You're alive! Thank God.
Female Alien
: Can you help us? Our planet was taken over by some kind of [pauses] entity! It absorbed the minds of our people!
Male Alien
1: We didn't notice until it was too late. The people it takes over, they look like your friends, your family, your leaders, but they're not, themselves any more; They're part of It.
Rick
: And how do you know it didn't get on the ship with you? Those two ding-dongs seem pretty calm about the whole thing.
(Two male aliens are calm and not panting and standing apart from the other four)
(They screech after Rick points at them)
Male Alien
with glasses: Hey! No, no- uurgh!
(Morty screams. The other four are assimilated)
Rick
: Called it.
All six aliens together
: Hello Rick. Long time no see.
Rick
: Unity!?
Morty
: Rick?
Summer
: Grandpa?
Rick
: Oh boy. Uh, these are my grandkids, Summer and Morty. Summer, Morty, this is uh, Unity. We sort of used to, uh, date.
[intro credits begin]
[Scene's of life on Unity's planet are shown; S.S. Independence lands]
Rick
: Quite an operation you got going here Une. You're a whole planet now huh?
Unity (Administrator)
: After we broke up, I spend some time wandering through space,
Unity (Thin suited man)
: then I found this world,
Large suited man
: where I was better able to focus on my passion for unification.
Summer
: You mean stealing peoples’ bodies?
Rick
: Summer, rude. Why don't you kids run off and play with Unity while Unity and I do some catching up.
(four aliens come over to Morty and Summer put a hand on their shoulders)
Summer
: Ugh.
Morty
: Wait! Rick, aren't these people going to barf into our mouths and absorb us?
Administrator
: You're guests here on my planet, you're free to be yourselves; I've never been good at disappointing Rick.
Summer
: Well now I'm going to barf. Come on Morty.
[Trans. to garage; Jerry is rooting through shelves]
Beth
: Jerry, what are you- what are you doing in here?
Jerry
: I’m trying to find our weed whacker, ‘cause our weeds are wack, yo.
Beth
: But you can’t go in the garage when Rick’s not here.
Jerry
: I can’t?
Beth
: Well, he doesn’t like it.
Jerry
: What’s he gonna do, crash rent-free at his other family’s house?
Beth
: What is that supposed to mean?
(Jerry stands up and turns to face Beth)
Jerry
: Your dad gets to walk all over us because of your abandonment issues! He’s playing you, shorty.
Beth
: Oh, stop affecting that stupid hip-hop dialect!
Jerry
: Stop shifting the crosshairs to my ironic urban patois just because your relationship with your father is toe-up from the flow-up.
(Gurgling sounds come from below. Beth and Jerry look around)
Jerry
: What the hell was that?
Beth
: (whispering) I don’t know, let’s just leave!
(More gurgling. Jerry removes the mat to reveal a hatch in the floor.)
Jerry
: That is a hatch! Your father put a hatch in my garage!
Beth
: You don’t know it was him! [pauses] Anyway, we’re not supposed to be in here!
Jerry
: Obviously, neither is whatever’s gurgling down there.
(Gurgling)
[Trans. to Unity’s planet: Rick is approaching a news stand]
Rick
: World peace achieved. Nice! A little weird to publish a paper about it for yourself, but hey. So what’s next?
Newsagent
: After I become a type-one civilisation, this world will be invited into the Galactic Federation.
Rick
: Oh, goody.
(As Rick walks, Unity switches between people nearby to have a flawless conversation without having to stop what they’re doing)
Customer
: From there I’ll have access to countless planets and species.
Pedestrian
: One by one, I will unify them, I will become the universe, and I will be what the single-minded once called a god.
Rick
: [burps] I like that. Oh, that’s pretty sexy. Hey listen, where can I get a drink around here?
Old woman
: Recreational substances were phased out here. There’s no need for escape from the self when your world is one.
Rick
: Unity, Unity, who am I talking to? I watched you assimilate a whole police station just to get your hands on the evidence locker.
Worker
: Rick, when we met I was a young hivemind with the population of a small town. People… change.
Busker
: Especially when I change them. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but… I’ve grown.
Rick
: Hey, listen, I’ve grown too. I have! See, I’ve- I’ve reconnected with my family, right?
Police officer
: Hm, why is that I wonder?
Rick
: Maybe it’s part of getting old. Maybe I just miss being with… a collective.
(Rick and Unity start kissing. A crowd forms around them)
Crowd
: Yes Rick! Yes! Yes!
Rick
: Oh yeah!
Crowd
: Yes! Yes!
Rick
: Wait, wait, stop! H-Hold it! Not like this. We need a hang glider. And a crotchless Uncle Sam costume. And I want the entire field of your largest stadium covered end to end with naked redheads! And I want the stands packed with every man that remotely resembles my father!
[Trans. to a mountain being carved into the shape of Morty and Summer’s heads. Morty and Summer are being fanned and eating hamburgers]
Morty
: Look at ‘em go! So coordinated! What’s your problem? They’re making you into a Mount Rushmore! They made burgers!
Summer
: Morty, open your eyes! There is no they! These poor people’s’ bodies are being used! They’re a planet of puppets!
Fan holder
: I can hear you.
Summer
: Ugh!
Morty
: Well, seems like everybody here’s cool with it. Except for all those redheads. They seem like they’re in a hurry to be somewhere else.
Clown
: Balloon, Summer? Balloon, Morty?
Summer
: No, we don’t want your dumb balloons. We’re bored. Take us back to Rick.
Clown
: Now’s… not a good time.
[Trans. to Rick in a hang glider and Uncle Sam costume, flying towards a stadium]
Rick
: Oh yeah! I want youuuuuu!
Stadium
: Go son go! Go son go! Go son go!
[Trans. to Earth: Jerry and Beth are looking down the hatch, which is open]
Jerry
: Oh! Real nice! Real nice! How does a man do this without me noticing?
Beth
: Oh, you know my dad. Once he puts his mind to something…
Jerry
: You’re spinning this to his credit?
(Gurgling)
Jerry
: I’m going down there.
Beth
: Jerry!
Jerry
: Beth, this is my house, which makes this my garage, my secret hatch, my hidden subterranean lair, and my faceless gargler. Now, are you going to keep hating this playa, or are you gonna jack my steed?
Beth
: Okay, you’re just making stuff up now.
[Trans. to Rick, who’s walking out in a bathrobe, panting, to applause]
Rick
: Oh my god. Oh my god. [Drinks water]
Redheads
: Oh Rick, it was so bad.
Rick
: What’s this ‘was’ stuff? I just need to hydrate and then we’re doing that again!
(Beta-7’s spaceships arrive from skyward)
Redheads
: Oh damn.
Rick
: Listen, if this is an invasion I gotta sit this one out, but I’ll- I’ll be back to have sex with the survivors.
Redheads
: It’s a neighboring hivemind species, Beta-7. Our planet’s maintained a practical alliance for exchange of vital resources. (whispering) So be nice!
Beta-7
: Unity. [pauses] Is it a… bad time? Are all… present lifeforms… assimilated?
Man With glasses
: Beta-7, this is my single-minded friend from Earth, Rick.
Beta-7
: Rick… Sanchez. Unity has spoken of you.
Rick
: All bad I hope. [laughing]
(Rick laughs and puts his hand on the lead Beta-7’s shoulders. All Beta-7 assimilated scream and point at Rick)
Rick
: Whoa, Jesus Christ!
Redheads
: Beta-7, if my allies are a problem for you perhaps our alliance is as well.
Beta-7
: Our alliance is beneficial. When Beta-7 expresses concern it- it’s only … be-because…
Rick
: Oh snap! Powdered neutronium? Amphetetron? You know what I can make with this stuff?
Redheads
: Oh… Rick, I- I shouldn’t...
Rick
: Come on, it’s not every day that I’m in town! It- it’s for old time’s sake.
Redheads
: Uh… Okay, what the hell! We can purify the resin and make fractal dust!
Rick
: Oh, I was thinking velocitinis, but…
Unity
: Aww, old man Rick can’t party with the whole planet?
(Both laugh)
Rick
: I can do whatever you do and more, baby.
Beta-7
: Hrmm…
(Beta-7 leaves)
Rick
: You know, I think Beta-7 over there is hoping your alliance can be more than practical.
(Both laugh)
[Trans. To Rick’s underground lair. Jerry is searching with a flashlight.]
Jerry
: Well, this explains the six thousand dollar electric bill.
(Both see Blim Blam chained up to a wall and yell)
Blim Blam
: [Gurgling]
Jerry
: Well. Nice. Real nice. Alien prisoners under the house. Real nice. Nice. Reeeal-
Beth
: Goddamn it, stop.
[Trans. to Unity’s planet, Summer is in the street on a soapbox with a megaphone]
Summer
: Wake up people! You have to fight it! You’re under the spell of an evil monster!
Man with glasses
: I can hear you.
Summer
: Yeah! So you keep saying!
(She starts slapping the man)
Morty
: Summer!
Summer
: Wake up! You have to have some individuality left in there!
Steven Phillips
: Why do you hate me, Summer?
Summer
: I’m not talking to you! I’m talking to…
(She reaches into his pocket and grabs his wallet, and flips over to his license)
Summer
: ...Steven Phillips! Steven! Set yourself free!
Steven Phillips
: Summer, before I took over this planet, this man was a registered sex offender.
Summer
: ...Yeah, well so what? At least he was himself.
Marine Biologist
: This woman was a drug addict on the verge of suicide. Now she’s a marine biologist.
Morty
: Listen Unity, I don’t think my sister’s trying to say that life would be perfect without you. I think she’s just saying that life would be… you know, life.
Old man
: I have transformed life here into a paradise. Prostitutes are now scientists. The homeless are now phisosophers.
Summer
: Oh, phi- phisosophers?
Old man
: Philophiluh… phiphophibup...
Summer
: Oh my god. Where did you learn to talk you grandpa-stealing slut?
Old man
: I’m feeling… urk!
(The man falls down and vomits. All other assimilated in the area follow suit.)
Morty
: Oh man! Let me help all of you guys up!
All
: I’m fine!
[Trans. to penis-shaped house. Various assimilated are dancing. Rick is on the couch drinking]
Administrator
: Do you know what I love about you, Rick? You’re the only single mind I’ve met who really sees the big picture.
Rick
: You got that right. But… baby, listen. Y-you’re talking about taking over planets and galaxies, you gotta… you gotta just… remember to let go sometimes, you know.
Administrator
: I can let go! Hey, look! You see that town across the river? Watch this.
(Planes fly past and bomb the town, blowing it all up)
Rick
: Whoa!
Administrator
: Ha ha! Woot!
Rick
: Whoa! That’s not what I meant!
Administrator
: [laughing] It’s okay! It’s okay, I evacuated! I evacuated the town, look!
Townspeople
: Hey! Right here! We’re fine!
Rick
: [laughing] Oh, that was awesome! My grandkids weren’t in that town, right? A-are my grandkids alive? … H-hey, my drink is empty.
[Trans. to street. More assimilated are dancing, though they’re falling over and puking. Vehicles crash. Morty and Summer are running and almost get crushed by falling beams.]
Morty
and Summer: Aah!
Summer
: Unity, what’s happening?
Steven Phillips
: Who’s Unity? You kids have nice feet. Mind if I take a picture?
Summer
: Gross, no!
(He takes a picture anyway and wanders off)
Morty
: I think you’re getting what you wanted, Summer. Something’s happening to Unity.
Summer
: Do… all of you remember who you are?
Ron Benson
: ...Yeah. My name is Ron Benson. I’m… an electrical engineer. Father of two, and as you can see from my flat concentric nipple rings, I’m a member of this planet’s top race! [opens shirt to reveal ring nipples]
Summer
: Okay, that’s good! Uh… Don’t focus too much on the last part, but...
Daryl Jefferson
: I’m Daryll Jefferson. I’m a landscaper. And I’ll be damned if that ripple-nipple bitch’s race is superior! [removes shirt] The cone-nipple people will rule this world!
Ron Benson
: You shut your mouth, you dirty knife-nipple bastards!
Daryl Jefferson
: What’d you say to me, you target-chested piece of shit?
Alien Man
: Race war!
(The crowd breaks out into fighting)
Summer
: Why are you fighting? Can’t you see you’re all the same?
Morty
: Ah, Summer. Ha ha. First race war, huh?
Morty
: Way to go, Summer. You started a race war.
Summer
: I didn’t start it! They’re the racists! I… I merely empowered them to follow their apparently misguided dreams!
Morty
: Okay, thanks for clarifying! Y- I’ll have a super accurate headstone now!
Rioter
: Hey wait, what race are you guys?
Morty
: [pulling up shirt] We’re neither! S-see?
Summer
: Yeah, take my word for it. We just have regular nipples.
Rioter
: Hey! These two freaks have no race!
(Morty and Summer run, and get chased by a gang of rioters, before getting cornered against a wall)
Morty
: Oh, there’s no place like home! There’s no place like home! Remember, Summer?
Summer
: Oh…
(The two hug)
Morty
: From Dorothy and The Tiny People movie?
Summer
: O-oh, yes, yes yes…
Morty
: All the tiny people?
Summer
: Dorothy, take us away! Take us away!
(As the rioters get closer, Unity (SWAT) drops in and surrounds the two, pushing the rioters back. An assimilated drops down and pulls the two into a hovercopter)
SWAT
: Hello Summer. Hello Morty.
Pilot
: It’s okay! You’re safe now.
Morty
: U-Unity?
SWAT
: Yes.
Summer
: Oh, Unity I am so sorry. I didn’t know freedom meant people doing stuff that sucks! I was thinking more of… a choose-your-own-cellphone-carrier thing.
Pilot
: Oh, Summer, you did nothing wrong! I’m having fun with your grandpa! Lost a little control. Probably shouldn’t be piloting a hovercopter, nor should I be… running two hundred thousand pediatric hospitals and twelve million deep friers, but hey! It’s not like this planet can take its business elsewhere!
Morty
: Um… should we maybe stop somewhere and get you a coffee? Maybe splash a little water on your face, or…?
Pilot
: No, no, if I wanted to be sober, I wouldn’t have gotten drunk! Wooohoooo!
[Trans. to Rick’s underground lair. Blim Blam is chained up, Beth and Jerry are arguing]
Jerry
: Oh man. I cannot wait. I cannot wait to hear Rick explain his way around this. He is gone!
Beth
: Jerry, stop! Please, okay, we weren’t even supposed to be down here. If we confront him about this-
Jerry
: Oh my god! I love this! I love that this is how far you will go for him. You wanna go upstairs, and cut carrots, and watch a lifetime original, above a fucking alien dungeon! Your relationship with your father is psychotic!
Beth
: Oh listen to you relish the idea that my genius father is a bad person! Step out of your ego for a second and look at this thing! It’s a monster! He might have it chained up so that it doesn’t eat the planet!
Jerry
: Right, because your father’s such an altruist? I once saw him briefly forget the word for humans! He’s probably harvesting this creature’s organs!
Beth
: He’s probably racing to cure its space aids!
Jerry
: He’s going to eat it!
Beth
: He’s protecting it!
Blim Blam
: [Gurgles]
In unison
Jerry
:Shut up!
Beth
:Shut up!
End unison
[Trans. to penis-shaped house, now on fire. Summer and Morty enter.]
Summer
: Unity! This place is a mess!
Administrator
: Oh, it’s cool! The part of me that’s the cleaning lady is coming on Friday. [gasps] Oh my god! I have a meeting at the galactic federation in an hour. Oh, I’ll never make it! Ah, I’ll push it to next week.
Morty
: Unity, could you get Rick out here please?
Administrator
: He’s… unavailable! He’s-
Summer
: Having sex with you, we get it! Gross. Get him out here now.
Administrator
: I don’t think he wants to be-
Summer
: (shouting) Grandpa Rick!
Morty
: (shouting) Rick! Rick!
Summer
: (shouting) I’m gonna tell mom and dad about the gagoo you have locked up under the garage!
(Rick stumbles out, topless, wearing an ammunition belt, a mexican hat and pants, a fake moustache and clutching a bottle of beer)
Rick
: What the hell… is your problem?
Summer
: Grandpa, we need to go home! Now!
Rick
: Fine, geez!
(He opens a portal)
Rick
: See ya!
Morty
: Uh, Rick? I think we should all go.
Rick
: Tend your garden, kids, I’m kinda doing a thing here.
(He puts his arms around two assimilated, who cheer and laugh)
Summer
: Grandpa Rick, we’re not leaving without you!
Rick
: Oh my god [belches] you guys I get it. You’re afraid the big bad hivemind is gonna steal your grandpa away.
Summer
: Actually, no. I think Unity’s great and you’re a horrible influence on it!
Rick
: What?
Morty
: This isn’t healthy, Rick! Y- you know you-you’re really up to no good around here. I-at-at this place, you know?
Summer
: You and Unity are like… like… leggings and mid-calf boots. You think you’re great together but you’re just bringing out the worst in each other!
Rick
: Oh, gee, boy Summer, well put. Uh, why don’t we see what Unity thinks. Unity?
Shades guy
: I’m just taking a little break from stuff. You know? I need to relax.
Rick
: Oh, hey, wh-what’s this on the news, guys? L-l-let me turn it up.
Todd
: In the news today, this looks a lot worse than it is. We’re… really just having a good time. Karen?
Karen
: Thanks, Todd. Up next: Are you a concerned grandchild or just a buzzkill? We’ll tell you how you can really know for sure!
Rick
: I think you two are a little outnumbered.
Summer
: Okay! Well, what if you did it for me? What if you came with us as a favour to us… because you love us?
Rick
: What? Dumb. Bye.
Morty
: But Rick, Summer’s just-
Rick
: Summer’s just a hyper-emotional, needy little- what’s the word I’m looking for here… uh- human! It runs in the family! I can tolerate it but I can’t give a crap about it. Take a hike.
Summer
: Take care of yourself, Unity.
(Summer and Morty leave through the portal)
Rick
: I’m not looking for judgement, just a yes or no. Can you assimilate a giraffe?
[Trans. back to Beth and Jerry]
Beth
: You’re the worst!
Jerry
: No! You’re the worst! You don’t support this family!
(The two start yelling over the top of one another)
Jerry
: All you care about is yourself!
Beth
: You think supporting the family is about supporting you emotionally...
Jerry
: You’ve got two children being dragged across the cosmos...
Beth
: ...but you’re unsupportable! Because it’s never enough, Jerry!
Jerry
: ...by your dangerously ill father, and you force me to watch it happen!
Beth
: It will never be enough support to satisfy you! And you don’t even know what it’s like…
Jerry
: Because you’d rather lose them and lose me than lose him!
Beth
: …to be afraid of losing anything because you cling and you cling and you cling…
Jerry
: And why? Because you’re the child, Beth. You, not me, you!
(Blim Blam gurgles angrily and breaks free)
Jerry
: Aaah!
Beth
: Oh my god!
(Both back away. Jerry puts his arm protectively in front of Beth. Blim Blam moves past them and breaks into a cabinet, before pulling out an object and pointing it at the two like a gun)
Beth
and Jerry: Aah!
(Blim Blam pushes the object into his neck)
Blim Blam
: Um, first of all, hello. Uh, my name is Blim Blam the korblok. Second of all, cards on the table: I am a murderer that eats babies and I came to this planet to eat babies. However, I am also carrying a highly infectious disease, that I suppose you could call ‘space aids’ as you put it, and Rick did chain me up so that he could attempt to cure it. At the same time, Rick’s motivation to cure my disease was not to save my life or anyone else’s, but to patent and sell the cure for billions of blemflarks. But you know the reason why I ripped my chains out of the wall? And do you know why I’m never coming back to this planet? Because the two of you are the fucking worst! You both hate yourselves and each other! And the idea that it has anything to do with Rick is laughable! I’d laugh but I’m biologically incapable, that’s how alien I am! And even I’m sitting here listening to the two of you, and being like, what the fuck! So! Good luck with your shitty marriage, and I’m sorry that Rick has to deal with either of you. Blim Blam, out!
(He drops the translator and leaves, but quickly rushes back to pick it up again)
Blim Blam
: You know what? I’m taking this.
[Trans. to garage. Summer and Morty have returned. Blim Blam pushes at the garage door but can’t open it]
Blim Blam
: How do you- what is this?
(Morty activates the garage door opener)
Blim Blam
: Uh, is there a slow setting? Best door ever.
(He leaves, flipping the two off with a penis-shaped finger)
[Trans. to Rick, who’s on the couch watching TV surrounded by several assimilated]
Rick
: Aaah! [coughs] Okay, okay, now make him cry. But happy cry. Now make ‘em all make fun of the blonde one. Now make ‘em all do it on the table! I can’t believe you created a whole show for me. Now cancel it! Okay, now put it back on. Haha! [pauses] Alright, I’m bored.
Administrator
: Rick, is there a way for you to call Summer and Morty? I feel bad that they-
Rick
: Pfft, screw those guys! Uugh, I’ll be right back. Don’t waste your brain on those weirdos, Unity. They’re no different from any other aimless chumps that you occupy. They just put you at the centre of their lives because you’re powerful and then because they put you there they want you to be less powerful. Never gonna happen though, right?
All
: Never.
Rick
: Never! Back in a flash.
(Rick goes into the bathroom, and washes his hands and face)
Rick
: Best weekend ever, Rick! I agree, Rick! Let’s see how long we can go!
(He goes back into the main room. Unity has disappeared, but there are letters everywhere)
Rick
: Hey Une! You got any more-
(He picks up a note and reads it. Unity talks in a voiceover, using the voices of different assimilated for each part)
Unity (voiceover)
: Rick, forgive me for doing this in notes. I’m not strong enough to do it in persons.
(Rick starts wandering around town. The entire town is fil'led with letters. He picks up to read some as he goes)
Unity (voiceover)
: I realise now that I’m attracted to you for the same reason I can’t be with you. You can’t change. And I have no problem with that, but… it clearly means I have a problem with myself.
Unity (voiceover)
: I’m sure there’s no perfect version of me. I’m sure I’ll just unify species after species and never really be complete.
Unity (voiceover)
: But I know how it goes with us. I lose who I am and become part of you. Because in a strange way you’re better at what I do without even trying. Yours, and nobody else’s, Unity. P.S. I don’t know where those coal miners were before they got assimilated. You might want to get checked.
[Trans. to the Smiths watching TV in the living room. Rick enters from the left]
Rick
: Hey.
Beth
: Dad… [clears throat] I… um… Jerry and I were looking for our weed whacker, and found your subterranean lair… and your alien prisoner. And… he got away. And I know I sound like mom but I can’t sacrifice this whole family’s safety just because I’m afraid you’ll leave again, so no more alien prisoners, and, no more subterranean excavation without consulting us.
Rick
: Okay.
Beth
: ...Okay? Y-y-y-y-Okay like you’re gonna quietly teleport somewhere and never come back?
Rick
: No. It’s your house.
Summer
: Grandpa Rick! What happened… with Unity?
Rick
: Who? Oh. Unity. Yeah, well, I mean honestly we’re talking about an entity that thrives on enslavement, you know. It’s not cool. Fun’s fun but who needs it? I’ll be in the garage.
(“Do you feel it?” by Chaos Chaos starts playing in the background. Rick enters the garage, looking depressed, and drains his flask before throwing it away. Then he pulls out two bulbs and puts together a metal contraption on the desk. He pulls a frozen alien creature out of the drawers and brings it to life with a flask of chemicals, strokes it while it shrieks helplessly, and drinks the rest of the chemicals. He puts one of the bulbs into the contraption and sticks the alien under it, disintegrating it with a blast of energy, then replaces the bulb and repeats the process with his own head. At the last second, he falls unconscious, dodging the killing blast. The screen zooms out through the open garage door, showing Rick slumped still on the desk through the night and into the morning, even as Jerry shows up, happily weeding the garden and the driveway without noticing Rick.)
[Credits]
[After Credits scene: Rick’s spaceship is outside Beta-7’s main ship. Rick is driving, with Morty in the passenger seat]
Rick
: Unity! Unity! Unity!
(A transmission comes in from Beta-7)
Beta-7
: How can I assist you?
Rick
: I wanna talk to [belches] Unity. Beta-7, I know it’s in there!
Beta-7
: You’re classified as a hostile entity, and Unity doesn’t want to talk to you.
Rick
: I know your game, Beta-7, I’ve met a billion of you, you little on-deck in-the-wind shoulder to cry on!
Beta-7
: You are classified as a hostile entity.
Rick
: Well, you’re just loving this, mother f- this isn’t gonna shape out like you think, pal! Unity’s not into other hiveminds! It’s gonna suck you in and use you up and a month from now I’m going to be making out with all of you in a bunch of red wigs! Unity! Unity! Unity, I know you can hear me! Get out here!
Beta-7
: Weapons systems engaged.
Rick
: Oh, in your dreams you have weapons systems.
Morty
: Ugh, Rick, you said we were going to a movie.
Rick
: We are, Morty. Alright, Beta-shit-7, you just got saved by the bell, bitch!

[Open Ext. Rick's Ship in Outer Space]
(Morty drives, Rick sits in the passenger seat, and Jerry is in the back.)
Rick
Learning to fly this thing, Morty, it's gonna be really liberating. Y-Y-You’re gonna be free to go on all kinds of errands for me.
Morty
Cool.
Rick
*points out the window* See that planet right there? Don’t fly too close to that planet. Someone’ll come out and try to wash your windshield. (Rick’s phone rings.) Hold on. *picks up* Yup. Yeah, I have it. Where do you wanna meet? Alright, cool. *hangs up* Alright Morty, lesson’s over. We got some business to attend to a few lightminutes south of here.
Jerry
Oh, you still use ‘south’ in space?
Rick
*startled* WHOA! Jesus, Jerry, what the hell are you doing here?!
Jerry
What are you talking about? We agreed a boy’s father should be present when he’s learning to drive.
Rick
I guess I remember that. *rubs forehead* Wow. And you’ve just been back there this whole time? Amazing. Well we don’t have time to take him to Earth, Morty. Head for 3124-917.
Jerry
*chuckles* Cool! Looks like I’m comin’ along for an adventure!
Rick
Yep.
[Trans. Empty space]
Morty
This is where we’re going?
Rick
Nope. (An asteroid-like mass materializes before them.) This is. You can park in a handicapped spot, Morty. Anything with less than eight limbs is considered disabled here.
(Morty parks clumsily.)
[Trans. Int. Jerryboree]
(Human Music plays in the lobby as Rick signs Jerry in.)
Jerry-Sitter
: Well look at this fella. *pinches Jerry’s cheek* Aren’t you handsome?
Jerry
Thank you! I’m Jerry. *extends hand*
Jerry-Sitter
: *as if speaking to a child* Oh, I know you are. Did you come here in a spaceship?
(She guides Jerry through a set of doors.)
Jerry
I’m travelling with my son and father-in-law. Uh, wait, are they coming?
Jerry-Sitter
: Oh, they’ll be back soon.
Jerry
What?
(A set of sliding doors open, revealing a room full of Jerrys from different dimensions.)
Pajama Jerry
: I don’t know how this works!
Underpants Jerry
: Help me!
Jerry
What the hell?
Pajama Jerry
: I know, right?
Tuxedo Jerry
: *enters room* Oh, what the hell?
Jerry
I know, right?
[Trans. Jerryboree Lobby]
Morty
*looking at a pamphlet* Jerryboree? You created a daycare for my dad?
Rick
You kidding? I wish I had this idea. Well… I did have this idea, but I wish I was the version of me that owned it. That guy’s rich.
Receptionist
: Don’t forget to check the reason for your drop-off.
Rick
*checks off “Stowaway” and “Annoying me”* Trust me Morty, I’ve heard stories from other Ricks. Jerrys don’t tend to last five minutes off of Earth. This is a totally unregistered cross-temporal asteroid. Here they can romp and play with other Jerrys. It couldn’t be safer.
(As they walk out, Rick hands Morty a ticket.)
Rick
Hey Morty, hang onto this. That number’s your dad. If you lose it, we’re not gonna be able to get him back.
[Intro sequence]
[Trans. Parking garage]
(Morty parks the ship clumsily, damaging nearby vehicles.)
Rick
Okay, wait here.
Morty
I wanna come with.
Rick
Don’t come with. It’s boring, it’s *burps* business stuff.
Morty
What kinda business do you do in a garage? You know, this seems a little shady.
Rick
Right, like nothing shady ever happened in a fully furnished office? You ever hear about Wall Street Morty? Y-You know what those guys do in th—in their fancy board rooms? They take their balls, and they dip ‘em in cocaine, and they wipe ‘em all over each other. You know, Grandpa goes around, and he does his business in public because Grandpa isn’t shady.
(Krombopulos Michael knocks on Rick’s window.)
Rick
Ah, crap. *rolls down window* Hey, what’s up?
Krombopulos Michael
: Hey, Rick! Haha! Here you go, three thousand Flurbos! D’you have the weapon?
Rick
Can… Can we please…? This is my grandson, Morty.
Krombopulos Michael
: Well hi Morty! I’m Krombopulos Michael! I’m an assassin. I buy guns from your grandpa.
Rick
Ugh. *passes Krombopulos Michael a case containing the antimatter gun* Here, now go away.
Krombopulos Michael
: *examines weapon* Ooh, yeah, this looks deadly. So this shoots antimatter? My target can’t be killed with regular matter. Nice to meet you, Morty! Listen, if you ever need anybody murdered, *passes Morty his card* please give me a call. I’m very discrete—
Rick
Y-Y-Y-You’re gonna give him your card?!
Krombopulos Michael
: I have no code of ethics, I will kill anyone, anywhere! Children, animals, old people, doesn’t matter. I just love killin’!
(Krombopulos Michael leaves.)
Morty
…You sell weapons to killers for money?
Rick
Ugh… You’ve got what the intergalactic call a very planetary mindset, Morty. It’s more complicated out here! These are Flurbos. Do you understand what two humans can accomplish with three thousand of these?
Morty
Uh, what?
Rick
An entire afternoon at Blips and Chiiiitz!
[Trans. Blips and Chitz]
Rick
Aw, this place is the best. It’s got beer, games, prizes, and you can never tell what time it is.
Morty
You sold a gun to a murderer so you could play video games?
Rick
Yeah, sure, if you spend all day shuffling words around you can make anything sound bad, Morty. *puts a helmet on Morty’s head* Here, check this out.
(Morty’s eyes roll back into his head.)
[Trans. Roy’s room]
Roy
: Ah!
(Roy wakes up, frightened and panting.)
Roy’s mother
: Roy, what’s wrong?
Roy
: I…had a nightmare. I was with an old man… He put a helmet on me.
Roy’s mother
: It’s just a fever. Get some sleep, I don’t want you missing school on Monday. *walks out of the room and switches off the lights*
[Trans. Roy’s school]
Teacher
: I want you kids to look around you today and think about your future. (Roy looks outside and sees kids playing with a football. He smiles.) Now is the time in your life when anything is possible.
[Trans. Football game]
(Roy is now older, and a football player.)
Announcer
: Spiraling perfectly, it’s gonna be caught by Roy Parsons! Roy Parsons is at the 20! (Roy makes eye contact with a girl in the stands.) Now he’s at the 10! Nothing can stop Roy the Rocket! Touchdown!
[Trans. Roy’s kitchen]
(Roy is older, now married to the girl from the football game with a young son. They’re eating dinner.)
Roy’s wife
: I just think it’s time to get realistic. Have you talked to my father about the carpet store? Roy?
[Trans. Carpet store]
(Roy now works at the carpet store. He gets a call from his doctor.)
[Trans. Doctor’s office]
Doctor
: Had we caught it sooner… Well, hindsight is 20-20, Roy. What’s important is that we move quickly.
[Trans. Hospital room]
(Roy is battling cancer. His wife, older, sits with him.)
Roy
: I’m not…ready to die…
Roy’s wife
: *takes his hand* You’re not going to.
[Trans. Roy’s house]
(Roy survived surgery. His wife wheelchairs him into the house, where friends and relatives applaud his entry. A streamer reads “CANCER CAN’T BEAT THE ROCKET”)
[Trans. Carpet store]
(Roy is older still, now greying and wearing glasses.)
Customer
: Hey, thanks for the carpet, Roy.
(Roy shakes his hand, then sits and looks fondly at a trophy that reads “World’s Greatest Dad.”)
Voice
: *shouting from off screen* Hey Roy, you pull those Persian off-white shags for the clearance sale?
(Roy gets up and steps onto a short ladder to retrieve the rugs. He loses his balance.)
Roy
: Whoa. Sh-shit! Shit!
(He hits the ground and dies. Text reads “GAME OVER”.)
[Trans. Blips and Chitz]
(Morty regains consciousness and removes the helmet, frightened and confused.)
Morty
Whoa! What the hell?! Wha—Where am I?! What the hell?!
Rick
Fifty-five years. Not bad, Morty. You kinda wasted your thirties though with that whole birdwatching phase.
Morty
*looks around, grips his head* W… Where’s my wife?
Rick
Morty. You were just playing a game. It’s called Roy. Snap out of it, come on. *hands him his tickets*
Morty
I’m Morty… You’re Rick… Hey, you sold a gun to a guy that kills people!
Rick
Lookit this. You beat cancer and then you went back to work at the carpet store? Boo.
(Rick sits in the seat to play Roy.)
Morty
Don’t dodge the issue, Rick! Selling a gun to a hitman is the same as pulling the trigger!
Rick
It’s also the same as doing nothing. If Krombopulos Michael wants someone dead, there’s not a lot anybody can do to stop him. That’s why he does it for a living? Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s time to thrash your Roy score. *puts on the helmet*
Morty
You could stop this killing from happening, Rick! You know, y-you did a bad thing selling that gun, but you could undo it if you wanted!
Rick
Uh-huh, yeah, that’s the difference between you and me, Morty. I never go back to the carpet store.
Alien
: *passing by, sees Rick playing Roy* Holy shit! This guy’s taking Roy off the grid! (Other alien patrons gasp and congregate around Rick.) This guy doesn’t have a social security number for Roy!
(Morty looks at Krombopulos Michael’s business card, which shows his location, and walks away.)
[Trans. Jerryboree]
(Jerry approaches the Jerrysitter from earlier.)
Jerry
Hi, I’m sorry, I think there was a misunderstanding. I’m an adult and would like to go home, please.
Jerry-Sitter
: Well of course! Right through that tube. *points to a tube in the wall*
Jerry
*muttering to self* Unbelievable. *approaches the tube and starts climbing in*
Jerry-Sitter
: You’re doing great!
Jerry
*indignantly* I know how to crawl in a tube. *to himself, while crawling* Ugh… Come on… This is harder than it looks… (Suddenly the tube transitions into a slide.) Whoooooaaaa!
(Jerry lands in a ballpit in an area designed similarly to the Smith house. Other Jerrys are in the ballpit playing Marco Polo.)
Pink-shirt Jerry
: Marco? (Jerrys laugh.) Marco?
Other Jerry
: Come find me.
Pink-shirt Jerry
: Marco? (Jerrys laugh again.)
(Our Jerry seems disturbed.)
Jerry
You guys are enjoying this? Don’t you feel a little… patronized?
Pink-shirt Jerry
: How so?
(Someone dressed in a large Beth costume approaches the ballpit.)
Daycare Beth
: Jerry!
Other Jerry
: Beeeth.
Jerry
Oh, come on, this is ridiculous!
Daycare Beth
: I love you, Jerry!
Jerry
Aw… Beth…
Daycare Beth
: Who wants to come watch Midnight Run with director’s commentary on?
Jerrys
: Oh! Yes! Definitely!
Daycare Beth
: First one there gets to adjust the picture settings!
(Jerrys become more excited.)
Jerry
The factory tint setting is always too high! *climbs out of the ballpit and hurries after “Beth” with the other Jerrys*
Other Jerry
: Out of my way!
Another Jerry
: The factory tint setting is always too high!
[Timeskip]
(Daycare Beth sits on a couch with a Jerry on each side of her and dozens of other Jerrys surrounding them, watching Midnight Run.)
[Trans. Government outpost]
(Krombopulos Michael prepares to carry out the hit. He holds up a heart shaped locket with a picture of a presumed romantic partner in it, kisses the locket, and puts it away.)
Krombopulos Michael
: Oh boy, here I go killin’ again!
(Krombopulos Michael sneaks through the building, killing several Gromflomite guards along the way before arriving in the chamber his target is kept. His target appears to be a strange, gaseous being. Krombopulos Michael draws his weapon, but before he can shoot, Morty crashes Rick’s ship through the ceiling, crushing him.)
Ship
: You have arrived at Krombopulos Michael. Your destination is below.
Morty
*dazed* All out of off-white Persians… *gets out of the ship and realizes he killed Krombopulos Michael* Oh man, wha-wh-wh-what have I done?! *picks up KM’s arm and the antimatter gun*
Gromflomite
: (pointing a gun at Morty) Drop the gun!
Morty
You don’t understand! This guy was gonna kill someone!
Gromflomite
: I guess that makes two of us. *fires up his weapon*
(A portal forms through the guard, bisecting him down the middle, and Rick walks out of it.)
Rick
What are you doing Morty?! This is a Galactic Federation outpost! Look, I don’t have time to tell you my entire backstory, but Grandpa and government don’t get along!
Fart
: You saved my life!
(Rick and Morty both turn to face the gaseous being.)
Rick
What?
Morty
Huh?! Are you Krombopulos Michael’s target? W-Wwwwhat’s your name?
Fart
: My kind has no use for names. I communicate through what you call “Jessica’s feet.” No, “telepathy.”
Rick
Oh, good job, Morty. Y-Y-Y-You killed my best customer but you saved a mind-reading fart!
Fart
: I like this name, ‘Fart.’ Morty, would you kindly release me by pulling that lever to the left of my cell? I am in great pain.
Rick
Morty, don’t do it. (Morty walks toward the lever.) Morty… (Morty glances at Rick before pulling the lever. Alarms start to sound as Fart escapes his cell.) Morty, you idiot!
Morty
Oh crap, let’s get you outta here!
Rick
We can’t get him outta here. He’s gaseous. He’s not gonna make it through a portal, Morty.
Morty
*stomps past Rick* Well then I guess we’re all getting in the car! Right, uh…
Fart
: Fart.
Morty
No! Jus-j-j-just get in the car!
(Fart floats into the car and Morty sits in the driver’s seat.)
Rick
Morty, come on, I-I wanna go back to Blips and Chitz. I don’t wanna deal with this!
Morty
Y-You’ve been clear on the fact that you don’t wanna help, so just go away!
Fart
: More are coming.
(Rick starts walking off.)
Rick
Screw this. I’m out.
(Rick forms a portal and leaves through it. Morty tries to start the car as a Gromflomite approaches, but it stalls.)
Morty
Oooh…! Come on, come on!
Gromflomite
: Get out of the vehicle made of garbage or we will open fire!
Morty
*still trying to start the car* Oh no no no!
Gromflomite
: Open fire!
(A portal appears directly above the guards and water pours out of it, flooding the room. Another portal appears on the floor, and the water and Gromflomites are sucked into it. A third portal then appears and Rick emerges through it, walking up to the car.)
Rick
Stupid-ass fart-saving carpet-store motherfucker! *shoves Morty out of the driver’s seat and takes the wheel* Move!
(Fart moves to the backseat as Morty takes the passenger seat.)
Rick
Wait, did you fuck with my seat settings?
(Morty buckles up and Rick begins adjusting the seat settings.)
Fart
: More are coming.
(More Gromflomites storm into the room. Rick continues adjusting the seat.)
Morty
Rick!
Rick
Yeah, yeah. (He crashes the car into the Gromflomites before flying away from the outpost.)
[Trans. Gear World, Int. Gearhead’s shop/residence]
(Rick, Morty, and Fart wait while Gearhead works on the car. Morty and Fart are watching Gazorpazorpfield.)
Gearhead
: Your geldon convertor is pretty dinged up.
Rick
That’s ‘cause my grandson drives like a male Obavradian. Yeah, I said it. Some stereotypes are based in fact.
Gearhead
: Actually, it’s because of years of neglect. You really need to respect your gears, Rick. To you, they’re just wheels with teeth, but in my culture, wars have been fought, entire—
Rick
*interrupts him* So I’ve heard. Just fix it. *to Morty* I don’t think the Gromflomites can track us now, but it looks like we’re gonna be here for awhile. *lowers voice* Or, ya know, if you still have that gun K. Michael dropped, we can finish the job and go home.
Fart
: You do understand I’m telepathic, right?
Rick
I’m being polite.
Morty
Rick, we’re taking him back where he belongs!
Rick
Yeah, where’s that? Are you going on a quest to find he who smelt it?
Fart
: I came here accidentally through a wormhole located in what you call “get out of my head, Fart, I know you’re in here, la la la la—” No, in what you call the Promethean Nebula.
Rick
Oh great, just a hop, skip, and an 800 lightyear jump!
Morty
You know, you can leave any time you want, Rick.
Rick
*walks away, muttering* Whatever you wanna do you little punk-ass little bitch…
Fart
: Thank you, Morty. You are not like other carbon-based life forms. You put the value of all life above your own.
Morty
That’s how things should be. It’s how they could be.
Fart
: I could not agree more.
(Fart envelops Morty as “Goodbye Moonmen” begins.)
Fart
: (singing over a montage formed from Morty’s imagination) The world can be one together / Cosmos without hatred / Stars like diamonds in your eyes. / The ground can be space (space, space, space, space) / With feet marching toward a peaceful sky. / All the moonmen want things their way / But we make sure they see the sun. / Goodbye, moonmen / You say goodbye, moonmen. / Goodby—
Rick
*holding a golf club* Shut the fuck up about moonmen! This isn’t a musical number. This is a fucking operation, we gotta be cool and fucking lay low!
[Trans. Jerryboree]
(A roomful of Jerrys on computers forward each other joke emails.)
Random Jerry
: *opens email and laughs* Duck, duck, birdie? (All Jerrys open emails and laugh.) Very funny!
Jerry
Here comes another funny…
Other Jerry
: Hahaha! Oh, this place is great.
Jerry
I almost wish I could stay longer than one day.
Other Jerry
: *suddenly serious* You just might.
Jerry
W-What do you mean?
[Trans. Room of Forgotten Jerrys]
(The other Jerry from before leads our Jerry inside.)
Other Jerry
: These are the Jerrys whose Ricks and Mortys never came back. (Forgotten Jerrys stand, sit, and lie around the room, generally looking despondent.) …They live here now.
Jerry
Uuuum…
[Trans. Gearhead’s place]
(Gearhead continues working on the car while the others watch Ball Fondlers. The show is cut off by Breaking News.)
Gear Anchor
: No gear turnings as of yet in the curious case of these unidentified humanoid fugitives (An image of Rick and Morty in the car as Rick was adjusting the seat settings appears onscreen.) reportedly at large somewhere within the Gear System.
Rick
Son of a… *approaches Fart* Why were the Gromflomites holding you prisoner? What the fuck is so valuable about you?
Fart
: I am no more valuable than life itself. However, I am able to alter the composition of atoms, like this. (An electric fuzz seems to go through the gaseous cloud and a lump of gold materializes, dropping to the ground beneath him.) That was oxygen. I added seventy-one protons to it.
Rick
*picks up the gold* Ah, terrific. The fart that pooped gold. No wonder every cop in the system is lookin’ for us! *pockets gold* Any species that gets a hold of this thing is gonna use it to take over the galaxy. Do you know how inconvenient that’s gonna be to my work?
(Sirens sound outside. Rick rushes to the window and sees police in flying vehicles have surrounded the place.)
Rick
Somebody dropped the dime on us. Gearhead… *turns around*
Gearhead
: *pointing a gun at Rick* I’m sorry, Rick. The reward on your head is too high. And like you always say, you gotta look out for Number One.
Rick
Number One is me, asshole! You’re supposed to be my friend!
Gearhead
: Friend? Do you even know my real name? It’s Revolio Clockberg Junior. I belong to an entire species of gear people. Calling me ‘Gearhead’ is like calling a Chinese person ‘Asia-face.’
(Rick notices a nearby box of twigs, marked with a warning. He throws them at Gearhead and they get caught in his mouth, causing him to drop the gun.)
Gearhead
: No, not twigs!
(Rick kicks Gearhead in the crotch, removes his gear-testicles, pulls two gears out of his mouth, and shoves the gear-testicles in their place while Gearhead moans in pain, clutching his mouth and groin.)
Rick
Two things I wanna make clear to everybody in this room. Never betray me, and it’s time to go.
(Rick, Morty, and Fart get in the car and fly out through a window. Two gear police enter.)
Gear Policeman #1
: Nobody move!
(Gearhead waves his hands, trying to communicate. The officers see how he’s been disfigured.)
Gear Policeman #2
: Oh my god.
Gear Policeman #1
: Are those…?
(Both vomit oil and metal.)
[Trans. Ext. Gear World]
(Rick leads police on a flying chase, shooting and driving at the same time. Numerous police cars crash, killing officers and civilians.)
Rick
Hey Morty, remember when you said selling a gun was as bad as pulling the trigger? How do you feel about all these people getting killed because of your choices?
Morty
I did the right thing, Rick!
Rick
Tell that to Gearhead’s gearsticles.
Morty
You did that!
Rick
Wrong! I’d be playin’ Roy right now. At a certain point, my hands are tied, Morty.
(Both don expressions of surprise as helicopters appear in front of them. Rick quickly steers the craft away and the chase continues.)
[Trans. Forgotten Jerrys room]
Jerry
*playing poker with other Jerrys, sighs* I can’t believe Rick did this. This is the eighth to the last straw.
Bearded Jerry
: Ante up.
Jerry
You know what? *throws down cards* Screw it! I have a better gamble for your guys. *leans forward* I say we escape.
(Other Jerrys stare at him for several seconds.)
Bearded Jerry
: If you want to leave, you can just go out the front door.
Tank-top Jerry
: You think we’re kept here against our will? That would be illegal.
Jerry
But… If you can leave, then why are you still here?
Buzzcut Jerry
: Same reason as you. *looks to other Jerrys for confirmation* …We’re Jerrys.
(Jerry stands in disgust.)
[Trans. Jerryboree lobby]
(Jerry is marching out.)
Jerry
I’m leaving.
Jerry-Sitter
: Okay then, that was always allowed.
[Trans. Gearworld]
(The chase is still on. Rick stops his vehicle, and Gromflomite ships pass him, giving him a chance to shoot them. He drives off again and pulls out a gun.)
Rick
Morty, take the wheel!
(Rick and Morty clumsily swap seats.)
Morty
Whoa, whoa!
Rick
Whoa!
(Rick climbs into his seat as Morty buckles up.)
Rick
Geez, dammit, Morty! Who taught you to fly this thing?! *laughs* Haha, I’m kidding, I know that’s on me.
Morty
Um, Rick!
(An enormous craft lowers down before them. At this point, the car is surrounded.)
Rick
Shit. Well, I guess this is it.
Fart
: Morty, crack the window.
(Morty open the window and Fart flies out, entering a gear policecar and entering the officer’s mind.)
Fart
: I wonder why Greg is always so critical of my girlfriend.
Officer
: Well… He’d probably like to have me to himself, that’s how friends are.
Fart
: Or does he want her to himself?
(Fart induces an image in the officer’s mind of Greg having sex with his girlfriend. “Goodbye Moonmen” begins again.)
Fart
: The world can be one together / Cosmos without hatred / Stars like diamonds in your eyes.
Officer
: *anguished* My life is a fucking joke.
(He crashes his cruiser, setting off a chain of destruction of police and government vehicles as Fart continues singing. Rick and Morty look on from the car, shocked.)
Fart
: Goodbye, moonmen. / You say, goodbye, moonmen.
(The destruction beings to kill civilians of Gearworld.)
Fart
: Goodbye, moonmen… (Fart floats back in through the window and the song ends.) Alright, let’s proceed.
Rick
Damn. Can’t blame that on the dog. …Talk about silent but deadly. I-I’ve seen some nerve gas but ga- th-this gas got some nerve! Haha, you know what I’m sayin’?
Morty
*not amused* Are you done?
Rick
I’ll let you know, Morty. Gone with the wind, am I right? If you don’t like that one, Morty, an alt on that one could be, like…if I said Gasablanca! …Alright, I’m done. (Morty starts driving.) Let’s get to the Promethean Nebula, so my grandson can finish savin’ a life!
[Trans. Cross-temporal asteroid, customs]
(Jerry walks through a set of sliding doors and gets in line, intent on finding a way back home. He approaches the window.)
Garblovian
: Ga-ga blahg blahg?
Jerry
Um… Earth, please?
(The alien stamps a ticket and passes it to Jerry.)
Jerry
Um… Is this… Do I pay?
Garblovian
: Agah blahg-blah! (Jibberish continues as Jerry rushes away. Other aliens heckle him.)
Jerry
Sorry!
[Trans. Ext. Cross-temporal asteroid]
(Jerry passes a homeless alien holding a sign that says “WHY LIE? WILL USE GLEMS FOR GLOOBIES!” He then spots a creature that appears somewhat like a small hairless dog.)
Jerry
Hmm. Hmm… *hesitantly makes to pet the creature, but its face suddenly splays out in a tentacle formation* Agh! *runs away*
(Jerry runs into an alleyway where he’s met by a shirtless Garblovian, holding out a cup.)
Garblovian
: Agah blahg blahg?
Jerry
I don’t…
Garblovian
: *angrily* Agah blahg!
Jerry
What do you want?
Garblovian
: *holds out cup* Agah blahg blah—
(The alien suddenly explodes into bluish goo. Some of it gets on Jerry.)
Jerry
Oh! *looks at self and begins panicking* Ahahaaaahhhhh….
(Two smaller Garblovians run up to Jerry, jabbering and holding out cups. Jerry runs away, and one drinks some of the bluish goo from its cup.)
Jerry
*wiping goo off himself* Uhhh… Huhhh…. (Stumbles upon two fleshy alien creatures mid-coitus.) Oooh! *runs away*
(Jerry now sits on a lone bench under a streetlight, looking around the alien world in obvious fear and flinching at strange noises.)
[Trans. Int. Jerryboree]
(Jerry walks back inside, hanging his head. The Jerry-Sitter smiles cheerfully. He approaches some of the same Jerrys from before. They’re trying to set up a television.)
Tank-top Jerry
: Hey, are you the one that left?
Jerry
*single nod*
Tank-top Jerry
: I get it. It’s… uh… a hassle out there.
Jerry
*suddenly less forlorn* Right? Who needs that?
Other Jerrys
: *to one another* Right? Not me.
Paul
: Oh-ho, not us!
Jerry
Uh… Who are you?
Paul
: Oh, excuse me. Paul Fleishman. *shakes Jerry’s hand* Infinite timelines! In some of them Beth remarries.
Jerry
…Geez…
Paul
: Don’t worry. I treat Beth very well, and I do not overstep my bounds with Morty. Every kid needs a dad, but there’s no replacing you. Hey, you wanna give us a hand with this? *gestures to the TV* We’re trying to figure out how to get the sound coming through the stereo instead of the TV. I-I-I don’t—It’s very difficult.
Jerry
Oh. Uh, well, is there an Aux input?
Tank-top Jerry
: I tried that, but there’s two different colors.
(Pans out to show several clusters of Jerrys also working on identical television sets.)
Various Jerrys
: Uh… There’s two different colors.
[Trans. Promethean Nebula]
(Dinosaur-like creatures eat plant matter in what appears to be a vast jungle. Rick’s ship flies into view. Rick is now behind the wheel.)
Fart
: The wormhole is seventy of what you call ‘meters’ what you call ‘north’ of what you call ‘here.’
Rick
Fine. Morty, take your fart to his hole and say your goodbyes. I’m gonna find some fuel and take a biiiig fat Morty. (Morty gets out of the car.) That’s my new word for ‘shit’ because of today’s events.
(Morty and Fart head north, soon finding the wormhole.)
Fart
: Here it is. This should take me back to my kind.
Morty
I’m gonna miss you, um, Fart. I’m really sorry your name became Fart.
Fart
: I will be back soon, Morty.
Morty
*excited* Really?
Fart
: After I return to the others with this location, we will be back for your cleansing.
Morty
Um… Cleansing…?
Fart
: Carbon-based life is a threat to all higher life. To us, you are what you would call a disease. Wherever we discover you, we cure it. You said yourself that life must be protected even through sacrifice. (Morty, shocked and saddened, begins to tear up.) You haven’t changed your mind about that. I can sense your thoughts. Morty.
Morty
*wipes his eyes* Um… Before you go… Could you sing a… C-Could you sing for me again?
Fart
: Yes, Morty. *approaches him as “Goodbye Moonmen” begins, again set to a sequence formed from Morty’s imagination* Cosmos without hatred / Blinding stars of cosmic light / Quasars shine through endless night / And everything is one in the beauty / And now we say goodby—
(The song is interrupted as Morty shoots Fart with the antimatter gun.)
Fart
: Morty… Why… Why?
(Morty shoots him several more times until he completely vanishes, then drops the gun, crying.)
Morty
Goodbye.
(Rick is loading something into the ship as Morty returns.)
Rick
So did you guys make out a little bit? Is he gonna send you a postcard? (Morty wordlessly enters the car.) Man, that guy hit the lottery when he crossed paths with you.
[Trans. Open space]
Rick
Morty, I know I picked on your core beliefs and decision making a lot today, but I am glad you insisted on gettin’ that fart home. You know, at least all the death and destruction wasn’t for nothin’, you know? *notices Morty’s detached, almost anguished expression* You miss your fart friend, huh? Well I’ve got a little surprise for you, buddy. While you were gone I found another wormhole with millions of beings just like him on the other side and they’re all coming to visit.
Morty
*panicking* What?! Rick! No, you can’t!
Rick
Too late, Morty. The hole’s opening.
Morty
No, no, Rick! You don’t understand!
(Rick farts.)
Rick
Th-there’s a lot more where that came from too.
[Trans. Jerryboree]
(Our Rick and Morty enter the lobby, which is filled with Ricks, Mortys, and Jerrys.)
Rick
Hey. *taps another Rick’s arm* Hey bro. How many people was your Roy responsible for killing today?
Other Rick
: None, we chilled at Blips and Chitz all day, ain’t that right homie?
Other Morty
: Darn right bro! Roy rules!
Other Rick
: Haha!
(The other Rick and Morty leave with their Jerry.)
Rick
*glares at Morty* Must be nice… Hey, Morty, there’s our Jerry.
(The Jerry-sitter guides a Jerry toward them. He and Morty hug.)
Jerry
Mm, I missed you. Hey, Rick.
Rick
Glad you’re safe Jerry. What do you say we go home?
Jerry
I’d like that.
Another Rick
: *holding a ticket* Hey, wait, do you have 5126?
Rick
Uh, I’m not sure. Morty.
(Morty pulls a ticket out of his pocket.)
Other Rick
: Uh, that’s a Blips and Chitz ticket.
Morty
What?!
Rick
Way to go, Morty. Eh, whatever.
(The Ricks exchange Jerrys. Both Jerrys look uncertain and nervous.)
Jerrys
: Uh… W-wait, what?
Ricks
: Alright, come on, Jerry.

Announcer
: Are you tired of the same daily droll? Well, get on over to Blips and Chitz! (As he describes things, they appear on screen.) We got, uh… one game! We got a whole bunch of games here! Uh, we got chabos and flobos and you can shoot things! Get on over here and play the games! Use your Flurbos to get tickets! Roy 2 just got here! G-Get over here at Ch… Chips and Chitz!

Date Aired: 2015
Reference Name(s): Harry Potter
Reference Date(s): 2001
Rick Sanchez: All right, Morty, you ready for our adventure to the Lost City of Atlantis?
Morty Smith: Ready as I’ll ever be, Rick.
For [Bleep] sake.
Hello, I’m Rick K-22.
This is my Morty.
We’re going from reality to reality asking Ricks to contribute to the Citadel of Ricks Redevelopment Fund.
What are you, stupid? We’re done with the Citadel of Ricks.
I was never on board with it in the first place.
That’s why I murdered everyone in charge and left it to rot.
That was you.
They tried to murder him first.
Aw, geez.
Well, you’ll be happy to know that the council’s gone now Yeah, he knows.
He murdered them.
You want to rein in your Morty? Every day.
The Citadel of Ricks Redevelopment Fund donates Morty, he’s not gonna donate.
You’re pitching the Policeman’s Ball to a black teenager here.
Let’s go.
You don’t have to be a dick.
I think you know that’s not true.
Geez.
I didn’t know there were still Ricks and Mortys living on the Citadel.
I wonder what their day-to-day lives are like.
Well, you can keep wondering that while we go on a fun, fresh, self-contained adventure to Atlantis.
Anyone continuing to explore the Citadel is either stupid or one of the unfortunate millions held hostage by their terrible ideas.
Man, I’m glad I’m not one of them! Announcer Rick: Citadel Morning News.
News about the Citadel in the morning, pretty self explanatory.
Good morning.
I’m Rick D-716B.
And I’m Rick D-716.
Must be nice.
Coming up, gravity outages in East Sanchez Heights And, is your uranium-powered cellular matrix making you sick? The answer may not surprise you.
It’s Yes, it’s uranium.
Those stories and more, after this break.
Sam Elliot: 60 iterations off the central finite curve, there’s a Rick that works more with wood than polarity plating.
His name is Simple Rick but he’s no dummy.
He realized long ago that the greatest thing he’d ever create was his daughter.
I love Daddy! Sam Elliot: We captured that moment We run it on a loop through Simple Rick’s mind And the chemical it makes his brain secrete goes into every Simple Rick’s "Simple Wafers" Wafer Cookie.
Come home to the impossible flavor of your own completion.
Come home to Simple Rick’s.
Just one day remains before our newly democratic Citadel elects its first President, it’s anyone’s race among the Rick candidates.
But a certain other candidate should be getting at least one vote for most adorable.
That’s right.
The Morty party candidate’s still in the race, and you just gotta love him for that.
Here you see him in his little Morty suit waving Isn’t that adorable? Little jackass.
Yeah, I think we actually have the audio for his speech here Aw, geez.
Aw, man.
I’m gonna lose the election and stuff.
We had a good run, sir, but I think it’s time to pull out of the race.
I feel pretty confident about tonight’s debate.
You shouldn’t, sir.
You should be terrified.
Maybe you should find a little faith, young man.
You don’t pay me to have faith.
And we’re the same age! - Aah! - Whoa! Sorry.
I-I was expecting A Rick partner? Lesson one, rookie, expect the unexpected.
Now, get in.
Mortys are human! Get the [Bleep] off the car, you Rickless [Bleep] animal! Whoa! Morty Cop: The election’s got these yellow shirts more riled up than a picture-day Jessica.
That’s pretty harsh, sir.
So report me.
Nobody gives a [Bleep] Look, I’m just saying, it makes me a little sad to hear a Morty cop calling Mortys animals.
Well, it makes me sad to hear another Rick cop buying into his sensitivity training.
Well, I’m glad to know there’s more like me.
There was one.
Why do you think that seat was empty? Rick Dispatch: Robbery at Fifth and Avenue.
Fifth and That’s Morty Town.
Unit seven responding.
Rick Teacher: Good idea, Rick.
All Morty Students: Good idea, Rick.
This is a great adventure.
All: This is a great adventure.
I love being your new Morty.
All: I love being your new Mor Farty.
Very amusing, Mr.
Smith.
Almost as amusing as when your first Rick was decapitated on Zorpantheon Nine.
Or was that your third Rick? How many Ricks have you had? Five.
I see.
So you are top of the class in something.
Tomorrow you’ll be transferred to your new Ricks.
Hopefully they will be your last.
Yes, Slow Ri Tall Morty? Di did I gradgitate this time yet? Anything’s possible, Tall Morty.
I guess we won’t be seeing each other after this? I say we make our last day count.
I say we go to the Wishing Portal.
That’s a myth.
It’s not a myth.
My first Rick’s fourth Morty knew a Rick whose Morty went there.
If we’re not here for graduation, our butts are gonna wind up in Morty Town.
I thought your last Rick fused you with a lizard, not a chicken.
Okay, fine.
I’m in.
Me too.
What the hell?! I thought I saw a fly.
Supervisor Rick: Listen up, [Bleep] nuts.
I’ve been your supervisor for five years, but all shitty things must come to an end and I have been promoted to regional manager.
All: Yeah, I feel the same way, may be never meet again.
Of course, that makes the position of supervisor available, so, as of next week, the ass you’ll be kissing will be that of K-83, affectionately known as Cool Rick.
All: I know I’m new to the Citadel, and some of you might not think I put in my time, but what can I say? I’m Cool Rick! Yo! Ha! Ha! Check me out! All right knuckleheads, any questions? All right, then, back to work, you gold rickers.
No Ricks, no families, high off their asses, and running amuck.
Mortys are raised to be sidekicks.
Without a side to kick, they just start kicking.
They were They were about my height, around 14 years old their their shirts were yellow! Yeah, make sure you get that down.
Any mutations, augmentations? Three eyes? A tail? Maybe a buzz cut? No.
Just four normal Mortys.
Normal? Put it in your blog.
Let me turn over a few rocks.
Aw, geez.
Hey, what’s goin’ on, fellas? Aw, geez, man.
Nothing, man.
We’re just hanging out and stuff.
I hear that.
Aw, geez.
I guess I’m supposed to be figurin’ out who robbed the store across the street.
But, aw, geez, I don’t know.
Aw, geez man, that sucks that your Rick’s making you do that.
He’s not my Rick.
He’s my partner.
Aw, geez.
Well, maybe the uniform makes a big difference, who am I to say.
To me, you just look like a sidekick.
Whoa! Call me a sidekick one more time! Call me a sidekick! Hey, man! Come on! Aw, geez! Wanna see how I paint a wall?! It was the Morty Town Locos, man! The the Morty Town Locos! Aah! Aah! Do you realize how many codes you just violated? Aw, geez, Rick.
What do I know about knowin’ stuff? Get in the [Bleep] car.
More lasers.
You could take more time to answer the question if you like.
Okay, Juggling Rick, how would you solve the Citadel’s financial crisis? First off, can I just say that I believe this Citadel is the greatest in the entire multi-verse.
Now, I believe the answer to your question has three parts.
First, education spending must get much higher But it has to be balanced with defense Whoa! Whoa! Can we fact check this please? Never mind.
Who am I kidding.
This race is over.
And that’s how you run a Citadel! Candidate Morty, the number of displaced Mortys is soaring while Rick satisfaction levels are plummeting, and the divide between the two groups has never been wider.
Solve that one real quick.
I don’t see a divide between Ricks and Mortys Shocker.
I’d like to offer a re-buttal.
Gentlemen, gentlemen, I think we can all agree on one thing Well, it came out as two things but you get the idea.
You guys finished? The division I see is between the Ricks and Mortys that like the Citadel divided and the rest of us.
I see it everywhere I go.
I see it in our schools where they teach Mortys we’re all the same, because they’re threatened by what makes us unique.
I see it in our streets where they give guns to Mortys, so we’re too busy fighting each other to fight real injustice.
I see it in our factories where Ricks work for a fraction of their boss’ salary even though they’re identical and have the same IQ.
The Citadel’s problem isn’t homeless Mortys or outraged Ricks.
The Citadel’s problem is the Ricks and Mortys feeding on the Citadel’s death Holy [Bleep] Rick Security Officer: He’s headed for the flavor core! But I’ve got a message for them, from the Ricks and Mortys keeping it alive, a message from the Ricks and Mortys that believe in this Citadel to the Ricks and Mortys that don’t.
You’re outnumbered.
Holy [Bleep] I don’t believe it.
I-I can’t believe it.
I know.
That’s why you’re fired.
Sounds like you’re looking for work.
I can offer you a very enticing compensation package.
First, let’s talk benefits Daddy loves you.
That’s Daddy’s good girl.
Your life is a lie, man.
All your life’s are lies! Don’t you get it?! They told us we were special because we were Ricks, but they stripped us of everything that made us unique! We know how you feel.
We’re working-stiff Ricks just like you.
But our assembly line is justice.
What are your demands? I-I-I want a portal gun.
Unregistered, untraceable, with enough fluid to take me off this God damn prison! The media’s outside.
Well, keep ‘em there.
Anyway, so yeah, the suspect says the Citadel’s a lie, built on lies, and some other shit.
I say appreciate the life you have, because it can always be worse.
Back to you, Ricks.
Thank you, Rick 0716-C.
That [Bleep] guy.
Tell me about it.
Meanwhile, in election news, an unexpected turn of events as Morty from the Morty Party soars to the top of the polls.
Yes.
Morty, what’s your original reality and where’s your Rick? Gosh, we moved around so much it’s hard to remember.
I see every Rick as my Rick, I hope they see me as their Morty.
Another? Please? With less water? Hey, cheer up, pal.
A Morty’s gonna be president.
Imagine this kisser getting blamed for everything.
I guess I should’ve had more faith.
It’s not faith you need.
It’s fear.
What’s this? It’s secrets.
Wh wh wh What do you think it is? Look at how I’m dressed.
Rick Reporter: Having taken aim at the system, are afraid at all for your safety? Candidate Morty: I’d rather live in hope than fear.
If I had to fear anything, I’d fear other people being afraid.
Of fear.
Itself.
But.
No, I’m not afraid.
you gonna lick my balls or what? Sheeeet, grandson, you keep me peelin’ skrabquams and slippin’ nib nibs, I’ll lick whatever ain’t nailed down.
Hands in the air! What the hell, man?! What the hellin’ hell? You guys doing a little chemistry homework with Grandpa? Is this what I think it is? Bootleg portal fluid.
I guess his math was off.
Search the place.
Are are you my new R Rick? It’s okay, Morty.
Jesus.
He stabbed me.
He got me bad, Morty.
Shh.
It’s okay.
You’re okay.
You were right.
Everything I learned at the academy was Doesn’t matter.
Nothing’s wrong with putting your faith in a Morty.
You just gotta pick the right one.
Why is there a crib in here? Something they do.
To make you feel bad.
Boy, I got us knee-deep in paperwork? Go to the car and grab a medi-pack.
Let me worry about this.
What happened? Same old story Mortys killing Mortys.
Almost got it Farmer Rick: Hey! Y’all get the hell away from my damn mega fruit! Sic ‘em, boy! I don’t wear this dag-nab hat and commit to this rural character so you can eat for free while you come of age! I bet the Wishing Portal leads to a reality where they’re Where all Where it’s a bunch of French toast with boobies.
I bet it leads to a place with a bunch of fry Fly flies everywhere.
Yeah, I bet it goes nowhere.
I bet it’s a big hole where the Citadel dumps all its broken dreams.
Slick, why do you have to be so dramatic? You wanna know why? Because of this.
I’m part of an experimental line of Mortys with a drama implant.
How do you think it feels, Fat Morty, to know that no matter where I go, I’ll always be the one that makes everybody sad and a little bored.
Slick, that implant isn’t who you are, okay? You also roll up your sleeves.
I thought I was Left-Handed Morty.
Then you should use your left hand to eat more vegetables.
Hey, there.
How you doing? Great to meet you.
I’m a plumber, sir.
I’m a Rick, and I’m a plumber.
That doesn’t sound like Rick work.
You didn’t come to the Citadel to be a plumber, did you? Ha! Ha! I sure didn’t, sir! Mr.
Morty! Mr.
Morty! I cloned myself so you could kiss me as a baby! This is just like a Morty baby! Hey, did you, end up getting a new job? Yeah, I did.
Assassinating you.
I’m okay I’m okay I’m Aw, man.
Aw, geez.
Aw, hah.
You look like you could use a good time.
One dance for $10, two for $25.
No, thank you And bad math.
Ha! Ha! Yeah! This is a good time! What is this place? The Creepy Morty.
What is it your kind’s always saying "Don’t think about it.
" Come on.
There’s someone important I want you to meet.
Bubbala! How’d it go with the Morty Town Locos? They had a little accident.
They won’t be causing any trouble anymore.
Those were bad Mortys.
Very bad Mortys.
Big Morty likes to contribute to keeping the peace in Morty Town.
Think of him as a "drug lord" and us as cops on his payroll.
Morty - Which Morty? - Which Morty? M m my partner.
Morty, you’re right.
Morty Town is bad.
But that doesn’t mean that we have to be.
Hey, what’s going on here, Morty? - Which Morty? - Which Morty? The cop, morons! Don’t worry about Rick, Big Morty.
He’s new.
He doesn’t understand how it works.
That’s what you said about your last partner.
Why would you say something like that, Big Morty? You’re [Bleep] things up for both of us here.
Wrong.
He’s [Bleep] things up for both of you.
Unless he takes the money.
Big Morty, you’re under arrest.
S smartest man in the universe.
They’re just props! Th they’re just props! Not so big now, are ya? I never was! It was figurative! That’s enough.
If we don’t kill him, he’ll talk.
If you do, I’ll talk.
Cowboy Morty: O one thing’s for sure, Y y’all don’t have to worry about Cowboy Morty talkin’.
This little cowpoke’s gonna mosey up on out of here.
You told me to put my faith in the right Morty.
I’ve got faith in you, partner.
Do the right thing.
Grandpa Rick, I-I don’t wanna be on the Citadel anymore.
I wanna be a regular kid.
I-I wanna to go to school and throw balls around and masturbate.
What the hell happened in there? Same old story.
Ricks killing Mortys.
Okay, man, okay, we got your portal gun.
What the hell’s he doing? Where where am I? A bad place.
But you’re going to a better one soon.
Hey! Hey! No, no, no, no Whaa God damn it! A portal to the blender dimension? That’s the oldest trick in the book! I’m a Rick! I’m more Rick than any of you! Then you should know you just killed your only leverage! Then comes and get me, mother[Bleep] Stop.
I’m Rick D.
Sanchez the Third, owner of this here wafer establishment, and I say that the Rick in there is right.
He’s more Rick than any of you.
He’s a terrorist! What Rick isn’t?! This Citadel was founded by Ricks for Ricks to be free! What’s your name, young man? Rick.
And I’m The same age as me, I know.
How long have you worked here? 15 years.
What the hell have we become? Whatever time you were gonna make him serve, he’s served it.
It ends now.
Come with me, friend.
Where are we going? To your new life.
Which starts with walking the [Bleep] out of here.
Yo J-22, give ‘em hell! Sam Elliot: There’s a Rick that held a factory hostage after murdering his boss and several coworkers.
The factory made cookies, flavored them with lies.
He made us all take a look at what we were doing.
And in the bargain, he got a taste of real freedom.
We captured that taste, and we keep giving it to him so he give it right back to you, in every bite of new.
Simple Rick Freedom Wafer Selects.
Come home to the unique flavor of shattering the grand illusion.
Come home to Simple Rick.
It is real.
After you.
Specs: There it is.
The Wishing Portal.
They say for your wish to come true, you have to give up something really important.
For me, that’s my panini maker.
I wish for a million sandwiches.
And, yes, I see the irony.
I guess I wish I had something cooler than this dumb-ass surfer necklace.
I wish incest porn had Had a more mainstream appeal.
For For a friend of mine.
None of those things are gonna happen, you know.
Morty wishes never come true.
Not on the Citadel.
Then why did you bring us here? Because I wish that would change.
I wish anything about this life would change.
Well, I hope you’re putting something pretty God damn important in there.
Me too.
But I doubt it.
- No! - Slick! M maybe maybe it went somewhere nice.
Automated Rick: Garbage dump.
Stand back.
He had to be stopped.
He he cou he c Couldn’t be allowed to win.
Then you should’ve worked on your aim, bro.
He’s alive? No, no, no.
You gotta listen to me.
I-I worked for him.
I was his campaign manager.
That Morty is not what he seems.
Yeah, well, no Morty seems like a president.
He won? Yeah.
It was a blow out.
I would hardly call it a blow out.
It was almost close enough to trigger a recount.
Jesus.
What are you joke security now too? Rick Cop: Why am I still here? I heard he confessed to everything.
Your case has been reviewed.
You’re free to go.
But I violated at least a dozen departmental codes.
New department.
New codes.
New Citadel.
Specs: Did we miss graduation? Where are the new Ricks? No graduation.
No new Ricks.
The school’s curriculum is changing.
To what? I don’t know, and I don’t have to know.
I’ve been fired.
Good luck, turds.
Holy crap.
Slick’s wish came true.
Sorry I’m late, Mr.
President.
Had a little crisis at work.
Worth it! It’s no problem.
A little more off the top.
You were saying, Garment District Rick.
We were saying, "President" Morty, that we don’t care who sits in that seat.
A Rick, a Morty, a god damn Jerry It doesn’t matter.
We’ve been running the Citadel since before the council and you’ll find that we’re still running it now.
Does he really speak for everyone here? Yeah.
Well, I think it’s important to be clear.
Raise your hand if he speaks for you.
Is that enough off the top? I don’t know.
Is it? - Yes, yes, god damn, yes.
- I think it’s great.
Good.
This seems like a good time for a drink and a cold calculated speech with sinister overtones.
A speech about politics About order Brotherhood Power.
But speeches are for campaigning.
Now is the time for action.
Whoo! Yeah! Atlantis, baby! That was amazing.
You got some of that mermaid puss.
I’m really hoping it wasn’t a one-off thing and I can see her again.
By the way, hey, um, you’re still not curious about what what might’ve happened at that crazy Citadel place? Psh.
Not at all, Morty.
That place will never have any bearing over our lives ever again.
Unlike that mermaid puss! Whoo! Yeah! We’re going back for seconds! Yeah! Yeah! Whoo! We’re gonna do that shit every week, man! That was Atlantis! Shit!

(Jerry Smith sadly sleeps)
Rick
: Jerry! Jerry, come on! We got to go! You got to come with me, Jerry!
Jerry
: Rick?
Rick
: It’s important, Jerry. The fate of the galaxy rests on your shoulders. Let’s go. Put some pants on. N-Never mind, there’s no time for pants, Jerry. I’ll make you a pair of pants on the way. It’s a Rick and Jerry adventure! Rick and Jerry episode!
[Opening]
Rick
: Then I thought, "Hey, what about Jerry? He’s… He’s good with regular folk." This is a real situation where… where… Where Jerry could really shine. "He’s a master convincer."
Jerry
: Rick, I’m not an idiot. I know what this is.
Rick
: Oh. Okay, well, I told Morty, "Look, parents get divorced. They get sad. He’ll be fine," but I think he’s worried you’re gonna, you know Pbht! And you know how Morty gets when he gets emotional. It impedes my work. So, I told him I’d take you out and give you a win.
Jerry
: Wait. My son asked you to take me on some kind of pity adventure to keep me from killing myself?
Rick
: Wait, w-what did you think it was?
Jerry
: An execution.
Rick
: Geez! You really do need a win.
Jerry
: No! I-I don’t know. I mean, you never made me the pants, so…
Rick
: So, you thought I was gonna drive you into the middle of the galaxy and shove you into the vacuum of space with your dick hanging out? And we’re seeing how you’d act if that were about to happen? I mean [bleep] I’ll make you the pants right now. Take me two seconds to make you pants.
Jerry
: I have pants at home!
Rick
: Jerry, if I make pants, they’ll be better than your pants at home. Also, if I wanted to kill you…
Jerry
: Yeah, I get it. It would be amazing. Please, take me home. I’ll tell my son we had an amazing adventure.
Rick
: Well, if it’s all the same, could we go get our story straight? Because you’re a terrible liar.
Jerry
: You called me a master convincer!
Rick
: You believed me?
Jerry
: Huh. This seems kind of fancy.
Rick
: Jerry, for all you know, this is the equivalent of an alien truck stop. You have no frame of reference. You’re in a universe beyond your imagining. But, yes, it is super fancy. I mean, my job here is to make Morty happy. I’m not gonna take you somewhere dangerous.
Shnoopy Bloopers
: Rick Sanchez. I told you if I ever saw your face in here again, I would stick you like the pig you are.
Rick
: Shnoopy Bloopers, I told you if you tried There’d be two funerals.
Jerry
: Aaah!! Someone? Uh, someone? Someone!
Shnoopy Bloopers
: My friend! It has been too long.
Rick
: Oh, it’s great to see you again, buddy! Yeah, you’re doing it.
Shnoopy Bloopers
: Mr. Sanchez gets anything he wants!
Rick
: The resort’s covered in an immortality field. You can’t die here. That’s the gimmick.
[Two children are seen killing each other]
Jerry
: Okay, but still Bad parenting.
Rick
: Hey, rich a-holes are rich a-holes. They all pay top dollar to come here and enjoy a consequence-free vacation. No death, no disease, no dismemberment. Can’t even have a heart attack.
Jerry
: Got it. The perfect place to take the most fragile being in the universe.
Rick
: I can tell you expect me to refute that, but it’s right on the money. If I come home without you, I doubt Morty’s gonna let me off the hook.
Jerry
: Yeah, but what if you came home with Jeff Goldblum.
Jerry
: Jeff Goldblum? What the are you talking about, Jerry? Jesus! Holy shit! Yo, what’s up, "Big Chill"?! Don’t go into the telepod!
Jerry
: Hey, maybe we would have fun on a fake adventure.
Rick
: On a fake adventure.
Jerry
: Speaking of What are we gonna tell Morty?
Rick
: I don’t know.
But whatever it is, we’re gonna need a couple more of these babies!
[Smith family living room]
Beth
: What’s wrong?
Summer
: Mom, do you think I’m hot?
Beth
: I don’t think that’s something that matters.
Summer
: So, I’m not hot?!
Beth
: I’m saying the part of you that cares about that is a part you shouldn’t give any energy to.
Summer
: That’s not an answer!
Beth
: Because I’m not an issue of Cosmo, okay? I’m your mother and a doctor, and
Summer
: I’m hideous!
Morty
: Geez. What’s with her?
Beth
: Teenage-girl stuff.
Morty
: Is that a hoof collage?
Beth
: It’s perfectly legal, if that’s what you’re wondering.
Morty
: Cool zies.
[Garage]
Summer
: "We just don’t have anything in common any more, Summer." Oh, yeah, Ethan? What do you have in common with Tricia Lange? A mutual love of French cinema? The belief that a carbon tax is the only viable solution to climate change? Or could it be her massive stripper titties?! There it is.Boob-ya!
[Resort where you can't die]
Jerry
: And that’s when Malakai the Squid came, rips off his face, and beneath it is my face.
Three-headed Fellow at the Bar
: I liked it.
Jerry
: Thank you, sir.
Rick
: Yeah, of course he likes it. Look at him. Mother got two heads and three trunks.
Jerry
: All right, we’ll put a pin in it. I’m gonna go take a leak. [Restroom] What the?! My hands are dry! My hands are dry!
Risotto Groupon
: My name is Risotto Groupon. I am the assistant general manager of the restaurant.
Jerry
: Do you have any comment cards, because I might have some thoughts.
Risotto Groupon
: My kingdom was usurped by force with weapons and technology supplied by your father-in-law!
Jerry
: Hey, he usurped my kingdom, too, man. He basically got me kicked out of my home, stole my family.
Risotto Groupon
: Then we are brothers, and you have wondered what your life could have been without Rick.
Jerry
: Wondered? Sure. I mean, I’ve wondered about having a vagina.
Risotto Groupon
: Would you help me kill him?
Jerry
: What? No! He’s my wife’s father. Move on.
Risotto Groupon
: Do you like theme-park rides?
Jerry
: Oh, you really moved on.
Risotto Groupon
: There is a popular attraction here called the Whirly Dirly. Between the first whirly and the third dirly, the ride dips just outside the immortality field.
Jerry
: You’re asking me to lure Rick to his death?
Risotto Groupon
: I’m only asking you to go on a ride with Rick, get off the ride without Rick, and go home to your family, where you can wonder about having a vagina.
Jerry
: Okay, okay, that was a very specific example pulled from thin air. I don’t want to be known as the vagina guy.
Restaurant Employee
: Risotto, you’re needed. Someone ordered the Nuzzy Guzzy Fresh and Fluzzy Special.
Risotto Groupon
: [sighs]Look, I’m not like Rick, so you’re free to do as you please. But there comes a time in every man’s life when he must choose the foundation on which his legacy will be built One of compromise or one of blood.
[He leaves and Jerry is left pondering his proposal]
[Smith family garage]
Summer
: Oh, yeah. That’s what I’m talking about. Oops! Okay, a little more on the other side then. Oh, come on! Oh, geez! Aah! Stop!
[Living room]
Morty
: So, the hospital just let you walk right out of there with horse parts in a bag?
Beth
: For Christ’s sakes, Morty, women going through a divorce need a creative outlet. What was that?
Morty
: Summer! I’m coming, Summer!
Beth
: What the hell happened?! How do we get her back to normal?!
Morty
: I don’t know, man! This thing is pretty complicated. I-I’m gonna call Rick.
Beth
: Well, hold on. We can’t just call your grandpa whenever there’s a problem. We can handle this ourselves.
Morty
: I mean, I don’t see the point in trying to. This is obviously Rick-level shit
Beth
: I have a medical degree.
Morty
: Is that what this is about? L-Like, you want to prove yourself?
Beth
: Oh, it’s not about anything, Morty. How dare you?
Morty
: Okay, good. Then I’ll just call Ow!
Beth
: Morty, I need this.
[Resort]
Rick
: Hey, Jerry, triple trunks here says he knows a place where the ladies drop panties for anyone bi-pedal.
Jerry
: Yeah, I’m not really interested. My heart still belongs to Beth.
Rick
: Oh. Huh. Okay.
Jerry
: What, you don’t think I have a shot?
Rick
: I didn’t say that.
Jerry
: Excuse me. May I have another one of these?
Bar-tender
: Coming right up.
Jerry
: Hmm, things weren’t always so bad between Beth and me. We had some good times when we were younger.
Rick
: Oh, yeah, I bet. That’s how teenage pregnancy happens, my friend.
Jerry
: Yeah, no. Things were pretty great, even until a couple of years ago.
Rick
: Jerry, I get it. That’s around the time I moved in with you guys.
Jerry
: Oh, I guess you’re right.
Rick
: Jerry, you know, I hope you’re not suggesting that I had anything to do with your marriage breaking up, because there are some major issues between you and Beth that have been there since you guys met. Hey, to new beginnings.
Jerry
: To the Whirly Dirly.
Rick
: The Whirly Dirly? All right, what’s going on here? When did you get cool?!
Jerry
: When you stole my wife!
Rick
: I should have done that a long time ago! We’re going on the Whirly Dirly!
Jerry
: Whirly Dirly, baby.
[Smith family house]
Beth
: Aha, look at this. It says "normalize." I bet if we just press that
Morty
: But if the machine was made by spider people, normal would mean eight legs.
Beth
: Oh, God! Are you gonna go on another spiel like you did with the flesh-colored crayon? I’m pretty sure "normalize" will make her normal. Aah! I’d call that progress.
Morty
: She’s huge!
Beth
: And normal!
Summer
: I’m not normal!
Morty
: Mom!
Beth
: Okay, this says "reverse." Done and done.
Morty
: I don’t think that’s a good idea.
Morty
: Oh, come on! What else could "reverse" possibly mean?
Summer
: Aah!
Morty
: Mom, call Rick! Thank you.
Beth
: There’s a customer-service number on here.
Morty
: Mom! Oh, man.
[Resort]
Rick
: This is gonna be awesome! I got to hand it to you, Jerry. This was a solid idea.
Jerry
: Uh, yeah. Uh-huh.
Rick
: And you know what? I’ll cop to it. I put a lot of strain on your marriage. It wasn’t fair. I’m sorry.
Jerry
: What?!
Rick
: I didn’t respect your marriage. I certainly didn’t do it any favors. And for what it’s worth, I’ll apologize to Beth for it when we get home. Whoo! Whirly Dirly! Yeah!
Jerry
: Stop the ride! We got to get off.
Rick
: What are you talking about, buddy?
Jerry
: We got to get out of this thing. We got to get out!
Rick
: Jerry, come on, man! We haven’t even gotten to the first whirly.
Jerry
: No, no, this sucks. It’s so boring. I mean, I’m falling asleep here. Let’s just get out and crawl down the sides. Uh, get down! Duck down! It’s more fun when you scrunch down.
Rick
: Jerry, what the Oh shit
[Jerry is shot, Rick engages in hand to hand combat with the assassins]
Jerry
: Rick, up here! There’s a spot where you can kill him!
Rick
: Good call, Jerry! Hey, how’d you know about that?
Jerry
: Uh
[Immortality field is breached]
Kid playing in resort
: [shoots his sister and she dies for real] Lisa?
Rick
: So, uh, Jerry, big fan of the Whirly Dirly, are you?
Jerry
: Not anymore. Obviously.
Rick
: But when you were, how did you know about it?
Risotto Groupon
: [groan] We had a deal, Jerry Smith… [pass out]
Jerry
: It’s a really common name.
Act 2
Jerry
: Now, take it easy, Rick. You’ve been in a serious roller-coaster crash. It’s It’s no time to be thinking about who did or didn’t play a role in your attempted murder. Get it off me! It’s eating me! Look, I confess, okay? They told me about all the bad stuff you did to this planet and reminded me of all the bad stuff you did to me. But then you said you were sorry, and I realized you’re not a monster Not like this thing. It’s got me good. This is a mislead, right? You’re inventing a thing to save me.
Rick
: That would be called a knife, Jerry. It’s been invented. I’m making a way out of here One seat ought to do it.
Jerry
: I’m sorry. I-I made a mistake. I won’t do it again!
Rick
: Nobody ever does.
Jerry
: You self-righteous piece of [bleep]! You took my family!
Rick
: I took your family? Who do you think had more taken from them when you shot 20 ccs of liquid dream-killer into my daughter? She was Rick’s daughter, Jerry. She had options!
Gibble Snake
: Oof.
Rick
: That all ended because she felt sorry for you. You act like prey, but you’re a predator! You use pity to lure in your victims! That’s how you survive! I survive because I know everything. That snakes survives because children wander off, and you survive because people think, "Oh, this poor piece of [bleep]. He never gets a break. I can’t stand the deafening silent wails of his wilting soul. I guess I’ll hire him or marry him."
Jerry
: Rick! Rick! I knew you wouldn’t let me die.
Rick
: That was never an option.
Jerry
: Because you never had a son.
Rick
: No, because I need a living organism coated in gibble snake bile to attract a shmooglite runner.
Jerry
: Wait, what’s happening?
Rick
: Use that confusion, Jerry. It’ll make you wriggle more like an abandoned newborn.
Jerry
: Jesus Christ! What the Rick?! Help! Help me! Aaah!
Rick
: There’s a space port 20 miles south. We’ll be able to board a galaxy class cruise ship and jump through a wormhole that will put us within spitting distance of the Milky Way. But, hey, it’s about the journey, not the destination, right, Jerry?
[Smith house]
Beth
: Just stay put, sweetie! Mom’s still on hold.
Customer Service
: Morphizer customer service. How may I help you?
Beth
: Yes, I’m having a little trouble with one of your machines.
Customer Service
: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that, ma’am. Do you see a little compartment on the side of the machine?
Beth
: Let me check. Yes, got it.
Morty
: Mom?
Customer Service
: Great! Now, do you see the little button next to it?
Beth
: I do.
Customer Service
: Give that button a push.
Beth
: Okay.
Morty
: Mom, listen to me!
Customer Service
: We’re free!!
Beth
: Okay, so I pushed the button, and three little men ran out. What do I do next? Hello? I think we got disconnected. Morty!
Morty
: Don’t "Morty" me! I tricked Rick into taking Dad on an adventure because I thought I could get a break from this kind of but no! Like father, like damn daughter! You want to be like Rick, congratulations! You’re just as arrogant and just as irresponsible!
Gene
: [walks up to fence] Everything okay here?
Morty
: Mind your own damn business, Gene! I’m having a conversation with my mother here! Kissing Rick’s ass isn’t gonna help him keep him around, Mom, but it will help you lose everyone else.
Beth
: Like I lost Summer.
Morty
: Hey, you haven’t lost her yet.
Beth
: No, I definitely did. She’s gone.
Morty
: God damn it!
[Customs]
Security
: Go ahead.
Rick
: Oh, come on.
Jerry
: What’s happening?
Security
: Your friend is class C or above cybernetic augmentations. Emphasis on the above. In any case, he needs to be neutralized.
Jerry
: What?! Wait!
Rick
: Ugh! Brain hurty.
Jerry
: What did you do?
Security
: It’s a synaptic dampener that blocks violent tendencies and controversial thought.
He will now be an ideal passenger.
Rick
: I want cookies and a 90-minute cut of "Avatar."
Jerry
: Seriously? [snaps fingers]
Rick
: Quit it.
Security
: It’ll wear off in six hours.
It’s cheaper than banning dangerous people from flights.
I mean, let everybody buy a ticket, right? Otherwise, the terrorists win.
[Smith house]
Beth
: Aah! I’m sorry I’m not a classic maternal archetype. Okay, I don’t know what to do when you people come to me with your weird puberty issues. What are you gonna do when your daughter asks you if she’s attractive?
Morty
: I’ll say "yes"!
Beth
: Morty, gross!
Morty
: Well, she’s gonna be super hot. Her mother’s gonna be Jessica Wait, when did Summer ask you that?!
Beth
: Right before she Clive Barkered herself. Why?
Morty
: Wait, I know where she is! Ethan and Summer were supposed to go camping, and then he dumped Summer for this girl, Tricia Lange, who’s got huge boobies and took her. Campsite The one with the name that sounds like somebody gave up halfway through naming it. Uh Camp Flabanabba!
Beth
: Mama’s coming, baby. Mama’s coming, and she cares about your titties!
[Train]
Jerry
: They have sweet smiggle honey cookies. Mmm! And low-calorie petroleum flakes.
Rick
: Obviously cookies.
Jerry
: Let’s get you the flakes then.
Rick
: Okay, but it’s not what I wanted.
Jerry
: Well, maybe next time, you won’t be such a dumb piece of and you can pick for yourself.
Rick
: That’s not nice.
Jerry
: What’s that? Did you just have a controversial thought?
Rick
: No.
Jerry
: That’s what I thought, bitch. You little punk-ass. This is the best.
Assassin
: I agree. You’ve made things even easier than if you hadn’t been incompetent.
Rick
: Uh-oh. We get shoot-shoot now.
Captain's Voice
: Alright folks, if you could please take your seats, we’re about to enter the wormhole.
So, I hope everybody bought a dinner first.
Rick
: Nice.
Jerry
: Nice.
Assassin
: Jerry, step over there and lock yourself in the escape pod.
Jerry
: You’re not killing us?
Assassin
: I’m killing Rick. You’re free to go. You’re no threat to me or anyone.
Jerry
: Now you’re just being mean.
Rick
: Yeah, you’re mean No offense.
Assassin
: Mean would be shooting you, Jerry. This is saving a bullet. Go back to your quietly ashamed family and live out the rest of your days in denial of your vagina fantasies.
Jerry
: It was a one-time thought that everyone has!
Assassin
: What are you doing?
Jerry
: I’m being triumphantly brave!
Assassin
: It’s not triumphant or brave. You’re not risking anything.
Jerry
: You might shoot me.
Assassin
: I think you know I won’t. Because you know I feel sorry for you. You’re just doing this so you can tell yourself you fought Ow!
Computer voice
: Temporal shield compromised.
Assassin
: Congratulations, Jerry. You get to die a man.
Jerry
: Uh, that’s okay! I’ll leave! Please don’t shoot. I-I’m the vagina guy, remember? Whoa! What is happening to me? Where is this? Where am I? Am I dead? A-Am I Am I still alive?
Rick
: Those aren’t the questions you should be asking.
Jerry
: Huh?!
Rick
: Shh! Ah, got ya! Come here, you little pumpkin. I have shit on my ass.
Assassin
: Whoa, oof this!
Rick
: Who am I?
Assassin
: Who am I?
Jerry
: I’m time! I’m literally time!
All
: Whooooa! Aah!
Jerry
: Oh, God. I feel like our souls were united, and we were all one with eternity.
Assassin
: Our body’s unchanged, yet our minds have lived a thousand lifetimes. Is that enough time for me to forgive you?
Rick
: I don’t know, but it’s enough time for a synaptic dampener to wear off.
Jerry
: [bleep]! He hadn’t decided he was still going to kill us!
Rick
: He was talking himself into it. I’ve seen it before. Cosmic apotheosis wears off faster than salvia.
Jerry
: I’m starting to believe you because I just finished merging with your essence for an endless epoch, and I’m already back to thinking you’re an asshole.
Rick
: Fine with me. Let’s just go our separate ways. Sounds like you and the word "epoch" have a lot of catching up to do.
Jerry
: Wait, don’t leave me!
Captain's Voice
: Alright folks, you're free to get up and walk around the cabin and maybe take the wormhole out for breakfast.
Another Voice
: Ok, you can do the dinner one or the breakfast one but not both.
[Jerry and Rick launce escape pod]
[Beth's car]
Beth
: You think you got that thing figured out?
Morty
: Yeah, I know what I’m doing.
Beth
: Good. Because I have an idea.
[Campfire]
Tricia
: It’s actually a contraction of "some" and "more," you see that?
Ethan
: Oh, wow. I was way off.
[Summer monster is about to attack and Beth monster shows up to comfort her]
Ethan
: Morty, what’s happening here?
Morty
: Summer got into my grandpa’s garage, messed around, and turned herself into a monster. My mom did the same to make her feel better. She’s a good mom.
Tricia
: Oh, my God. I have to go call my mother!
Ethan
: Tricia, wait!
Morty
: Ethan! Ethan! Hey, it’s okay. Sit down. You made my sister cry, Ethan. You messed with her body image.
Ethan
: Look, Morty, I
Morty
: Shh, shh, shh. Careful, Ethan. Your s’more is burning.
[Escape pod lands at Smith house]
Rick
: Uh, I guess we better get on the same page about our fake adventure.
Jerry
: Right.
Rick
: I’ll make you a deal. I’ll leave out the part where you tried to murder me
Jerry
: And I’ll leave out the part where you admitted to sabotaging our marriage.
Rick
: You want to?
Jerry
: Nah, if the family sees me like this, they’ll feel sorry for me. Which is no longer my signature move. Later days, amigo. Actually, I just realized, I don’t have my wallet, and my bus pass is in there, so maybe
Rick
: Stay strong, Jerry. I believe in you!

Summer
: Hurry up Morty, Grampa's about to unfreeze time. You know you really should be cleaning from top to bottom.
Morty
: I know how to vacuum Mom and Dad, Summer, I've been doing it for six months!
Summer
: Then you've been doing it wrong for six months. Oh, my God, is that mildew?
Morty
: It's not my fault we froze time on a humid day!
Summer
: You have dropped so many balls, man. Do you ever get scared Grampa Rick might make me his new sidekick?
Morty
: What? What kind of monster are you?
Summer
: A competent one.
Rick
: Who cares about the *belch* thing you guys are talking about? The whole point of freezing time is to stop giving a fuck. Put a shirt on your dumb dad and let's get this dumb universe rolling. Let's do this thing.

: Alright, listen, you two, we froze time for a pretty long time, so when I unfreeze it, the world's time is gonna be fine, but our time's gonna need a little time to, you know, stabilize.
Morty
: Our time is gonna be unstable? What does that even mean?
Rick
: It means relax and stop being a pussy, Morty. I thought you learned that by now. It also means don't touch your parents or we could shatter into countless theoretical shards.
Morty
: Wait a minute, what?
Rick
: And away we go!
(Rick unfreezes time.)
(Mr. Benson falls off the roof.)
Morty
: Uh, did we ever put that mattress under Mr. Benson?
Rick
: Shhh, Morty!
(Jerry opens the door angrily)
Jerry
: ...A THING OR TWO ABOUT... wait, what? Was the house...? When we pulled up I could have sworn the house was completely trashed.
Rick
: Negative visualization, Jerry. It explains a lot about where you're at. Hi, sweety.
Beth
: Hi, dad.
(Summer and Morty recoil from Beth as she approaches to hug Rick)
Beth
: Summer, Morty, are you okay?
Morty
: W-We just missed you a lot.
Summer
: Yeah, we missed you so much. Too much to hug you though.
(Rick motions Summer and Morty behind him.)
Rick
: Yeah it would literally destroy them. Now listen, why do—why do—why—why don't you guys go get a free sunday ice cream, (Rick puts a rubber band around a rolled up wad of cash) go out there and get some ice creams. Here's five hundred dollars cash in unmarked moneys. I'm just gonna put it on the floor and uh, kick it on over to ya. You guys go nuts.
Jerry
: This better not be a bribe. If I find a single thing out of place in this house, my love of ice cream won't save you. I'll get my jacket.
Beth
: Sweety, is your shirt on backwards?
(Simultaneously---
Summer
: *Gasp*
Morty
: Oh!
Rick
: Uh oh.
-------------->
Jerry
: Yeah, I like it this way. I'm not stupid.
(Simultaneously---
Morty
: Phew...
Summer
: *Exhales*
-------------->
Rick
: Man that guy is the Red Grin Grumble to pretending he knows what's going on. (Morty and Summer laugh) Oh you agree, huh? (Summer: Funny) You like that Red Grin Grumble reference? (Summer: Yeah.) Well guess what? I made him up. You really are your father's children. Think for yourselves, don't be sheep.
[Intro sequence]
[Trans. Outside Morty's house]
(Mr. Benson is being loaded into an ambulance.)
[Trans. Inside Morty's house]
Summer
: God, I feel terrible.
Rick
: Yup, it really makes you appreciate how fickle the universe can be. (Rick opens refrigerator) [Trans. Inside refrigerator] One minute you're falling off a roof for six months, the next minute, bam!
[Trans. Inside Morty's house]
Morty
: Uh, just to be clear, it was Summer's job to put the mattress under-
Summer
: (interrupting) Uh, what? It was your job, Morty. (Summer pokes Morty.)
Morty
: Nuh uh!
Summer
: Yeah huh!
Rick
: Actually, sorry Summer, I gotta back the M bomb on this one. I remember the conversation. We told Morty to replace all the bank's money with cookies, your job was to put the mattress under Mr. Benson.
Morty
: Boom! In your face Summer! You really dropped the ball, man.
Summer
: Shut up Morty, you vindictive little turd!
Morty
: You shut up you big... female asshole!
(Alternate selves first appear)
Alternate Morty
: Hey, don't shove me!
Summer
: I didn't!
Morty
: You didn't what?
Alternate Summer
: What's your problem?
Morty
: What's yours?
Alternate Summer
: Shut up!
Morty
: You shut up!
Rick
: Whoa whoa wh-what the hell hell hell hell hell?
(Time splits into two - alternate timelines will be ordered from top to bottom, left to right.)
All Ricks
: Oh God, oh no, what did you guys just do?
Summer 1
: What do you mean?
Summer 2
: What could we do?
All Summers
: Wait, what am I saying?
Rick
: *belch* Were either of you guys uncertain about anything just now?
All Mortys
: Oh man... I don't feel good.
Morty 1
: Am I me? I think so.
Morty 2
: A-am I talking right now?
All Mortys
: Wait, who said that?
All Ricks
: Alright both of you, just don't move, don't speak, don't think. I have to check something.
Summer 1
: What should we do Morty?
Summer 2
: I'm gonna help Grampa.
Morty 1
: Let's see if he needs help.
Morty 2
: What do you mean you're gonna help him.
Summer 1
: Ugh, I can help too.
[Trans. Inside Rick's garage]
All Mortys
: What's going on Rick?
All Summers
: What's happening Grampa?
All Ricks
: Shut up! (Rick turns on a monitor) Oh crap are you kidding me? Two dots? This never needs to be more than one dot. The two of you made us uncertain!
Morty 1
: What do you mean?
Morty 2
: What? In English?
Summer 1
: What? English please?
Summer 2
: What are you talking about?
All Ricks
: Our time is fractured. You two somehow created a feedback loop of uncertainty that's split our reality into two equally possible impossiblities. W-we're exactly like a man capable of sustaining a platonic friendship with an attractive female co-worker. We're entirely hypothetical.
All Mortys
: But I thought there were infinite timelines.
All Ricks
: We're not on any timeline, dummy. Look.
(Rick opens the garage door, revealing floating cats, trees and islands.)
All Mortys
: Oh, my God!
All Summers
: Are those cats?
All Ricks
: I assume they're Schrodinger's cats. A-actually, I assume they both are and aren't, just like us.
Summer
1 & Morty 2: Is the world gone? Where are Mom and Dad?
All Ricks
: “Mom and Dad?” Get your head out of your family's ass. The three of us are lost in a timeless oblivion. Your parents get to exist. They're probably living it up in some pointless grounded story about their sh*t marriage.
[Trans. Inside Jerry's car]
Jerry
: Cold Stone Creamery is the best. What should we do with our remaining twenty dollars?
Beth
: You realize they sing no matter how much you tip.
(Jerrry hits a deer.)
Beth
: Holy shit! What happened?
Jerry
: I hit a deer! W-we have to tell the cops you were driving.
Beth
: W-what?
Jerry
: This is Rum Raisin!
(Beth hands Jerry her ice cream, gets out of the car and goes over to the deer.)
Beth
: It's still alive.
Jerry
: Well, do we- do I uh, get a big rock? Or--
Beth
: It's not an armadillo, asshole!
Jerry
: I thought that's what a man's supposed to say, it's not like I could have actually done it.
Beth
: If we were near a hospital, I could treat it, but I-I think we have to just-
Jerry
: It's okay, this is just something that happens. And even if we were in a hospital, what could we do, you're a horse surgeon, not a deer surgeon.
Beth
: So...
Jerry
: Well don't different animals-
Beth
: Require different levels of skill to keep alive?
Jerry
: Oh God...
Beth
: Get the deer in the car, Jerry.
Jerry
: Yes Beth.
[Trans. Inside Rick's garage]
All Ricks
: This is why you don't freeze time, you guys. It's incredibly irresponsible.
Morty 1
: And you did it so you could clean the house after a party.
Morty 2
: And you did it so you could clean the house after a party?
All Ricks
: Look, there's no time to hold me accountable, Morty. Like literally no time. Look around. Uncertainty is inherently unsustainable. Eventually everything either is or isn't. And we've got about four hours to be “is”.
Morty 1
: Or...
Morty 2
: Or?
All Ricks
: We “isn't”
All Ricks
: Alright, since this time crystal exists in both possibilities, and since it's impossible that I didn't nail this, I'm probably about to press this button in both possibilities at exactly the same time.
Morty
1 & Summer 2: How do you know you're gonna-
All Ricks
: Whatever you're asking, the answer is I'm amazing. And away we go!
(Rick presses a button, the timelines almost merge)
Rick
: Huh, what do you know, it's working
Summer 1
: Ow, ow ouch!
Morty 2
: Whoa, ow, ow.
Rick
: Oh shit.
(Realities separate again)
All Ricks
: What the hell is wrong with you two!? I—I m—I m—I mean you four!?
All Mortys
and Summer 2: That hurt! That was painful...
All Ricks
: Good I'm glad it was painful. You do deserve it! I saw you, you're both *belch* all over the damn place. We've been split for twenty minutes and your lives are already scattered to the quantum f***ing wind? What the hell do either of you have to be so uncertain about? Your brand of zit cream? Which chair to sit in while I do everything? Come on, spit it out!
All Mortys
: Well you don't exactly make it easy, Rick!
Morty 1
: You make fun of me all the time and now Summer's doing it too!
Morty 2
: You're always picking on me and now you got someone to kiss your ass!
Summer 1
: Me? What about you? Would you get more excited to see me fail? You want Grampa all to yourself!
Summer 2
: Me? You're just as mean to me because you're jealous, because you want Grampa all to yourself!
All Ricks
: Alright, cool it, I see what's happening here. You're both young, you're both unsure about your place in the universe, you both wanna be “Grampa's favorite.” I can fix this. Morty sit here, Summer, you sit here. Now listen, I know the two of you are very different from each other in a lot of ways, but you have to understand that as far as Grampa's concerned, you're both pieces of shit. Yeah, I can prove it mathematically. Actually, let me grab my whiteboard. This has been a long time coming anyway.
[Trans. Outside animal hospital.]
[Trans. Inside animal hospital.]
Beth
: Emergency, wounded deer coming in.
[Trans. Inside animal hospital operating room.]
(Vet is taking a snake's pulse.)
Vet
: Three. Excuse me, you can't be back here.
Beth
: I'm a certified horse surgeon, and this deer needs medical attention. Nurse, please move that snake.
Vet
: That's my nurse, and as a horse surgeon, I'm sure that you know that deer have much smaller, much more intricate organs-
Beth
: As a vet, I'm sure you know a deer is closer to a horse than you are to a doctor, so let's save the measuring for when our dicks are out, it's time to save a life!
Vet
: Geez...
(Vet removes Snake from operating table. Beth and Jerry place deer on operating table.)
Beth
: That's odd, this deer's wounded.
Jerry
: Uh, yeah, I was there, you don't have to rub it in.
Beth
: I mean it's been shot. With a gun.
Hunter
: My gun.
Vet
: May I help you, sir?
Hunter
: No, but you can stop helping this deer. I shot it before these two hit it with their car and I followed them when they hauled it off. This deer belongs to me.
Beth
:sigh* We don't have time for this, okay! I need anesthetic, and deer saline!
Vet
: Look, I don't know what the law says about this, but I took an oath that I would let no animal come to harm. Except when sterilizing, aborting or euthenizing them and also when eating them at almost any meal.
Hunter
: I'm calling my lawyer. I hope for all our sakes you're as bad a surgeon as I am a hunter.
Beth
: In your dreams, bitch! Scalpel!
[Trans. Inside Rick's garage.]
All Ricks
: So in conclusion, you're both equally mercurial, overly sensitive, clingy hysterical bird brained homunculi. And I honestly can't tell the two of you half the time because I don't go by height or age, I go by amount of pain in my ass, which makes you both identical. Alright, everything resolved? Everybody nice and certain about their position in my world?
In unison
All Mortys
: Yes
All Summers
: Yes.
end unison
All Ricks
: Alright, perfect. Sit still, *belch* arms down, I'm gonna do this again, this time, be like Grampa.
Morty 2
: You mean drunk?
Rick 2
: What's that? You got something to say?
Rick 1
: And away we go!
Morty 2
: No.
Rick 2
: And away we go!
All Ricks
: Huh, that's weird. Oh, my God.
All Summers
: What?
All Ricks
: That son of a bitch is gonna kill me!
Rick 2
: Follicle unfeeling sociopath. Don't you get it? He thinks he can save his own skin by using the crystal to kill me. He probably figures it's easier to eliminate one of the possibilities rather than merge them. I have to admit, it's always in the back of my mind too. The difference is I would never do it! Until now...
Rick 1
: Don't you get it? don't you get it? The other Rick isn't trying to merge us anymore. He thinks he can save his own skin by using the crystal to kill me. He probably figures it's easier to eliminate one of the possibilities rather than merge them. I have to admit, it's always in the back of my mind too. The difference is I would never do it! Until now...
All Mortys
: Rick what the hell are you doing?
All Ricks
: Saving our lives. After he takes me out he's gonna be coming for you!
All Summers
: Who?
All Ricks
: Me!
Rick 2
: You see that? Get down.
All Summers
: Ahh!
All Mortys
: Whoa whoa!
Rick 1
: I told you he's a psycho!
Rick 2
: He's lost it. The time fracture must have made him crazy!
Rick 1
: I don't know what to do! I don't know what to do!
Summer
2 or 4 after splitting into 4 (not shown): Oh crap!
(Reality splits into 4 parts)
All Ricks
: Oh God, now there's three of them, we're outnumbered! Get in the cupboards! Wait, don't don't do that, they'll know... wait wait, think about getting in the cupboards but don't really. AAAAH IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT YOU SICK FUCKS? YOU WANNA SEE CHILDREN DIE?
[Trans. Inside animal hospital operating room.]
Beth
: You son of a bitch, you don't stop living until I SAY SO!
Lawyer
: Michael.
Vet
: Who's this now?
Hunter
: My lawyer.
Lawyer
: I'm here to notify you ma'am, that in this county, any deer shot by a hunter is that hunter's property, regardless of how far it runs, or who intercepts it before it dies. It's called Brad's law. We can't make you stop the surgery, but at this point you're performing it on venison.
Hunter
: Actually, I've decided not to eat it. All this fear and conflict. I'm sure it's ruined the meat. I'm just gonna use the head for my rec room wall.
Jerry
: She normally works on horses.
Beth
: Jerry, if you're not gonna help, get the fuck out of here! I will reach into heaven and yank your screaming deer soul back!
Vet
: Jesus...
[Trans. Inside Rick's garage.]
All Ricks
: Shh shh... I know where you are, you creepy old monster... I know how you think! Oh, is this where you think I'm going? You think I'm standing here? Well maybe you're right!
(Morty knocks Rick out with a fire extinguisher)
All Summers
: Holy shit, now what?
All Mortys
: Well if all of me knocked out all the Ricks, and you peed in all of your pants, doesn't that mean that we're all synchronized?
All Summers
: Right.
All Mortys
: Okay... so from now on, whatever we do we have to be certain.
All Summers
: Right...
All Mortys
: I think I'm certain we're F'd in the A.
[Cut to black]
[Trans. Outside the house in Schrodinger cat space]
All Ricks
: Oh God, my head. What did you guys do?
All Mortys
: We put you in a dog crate because you were acting crazy, and you caused another time fracture.
All Summers
: You tried to kill yourself!
All Ricks
: Only in self defense, myself tried to kill me first! Guys, I don't expect you to understand this, but time breaking twice means our problem is two times bigger and we've got half as much time to solve it. Well actually, I do expect you to understand that, it's basic math. C-could someone just let me out of here? If I die in a cage I lose a bet.
All Summers
: Well is there some way you can prove you're not a threat to yourself and others anymore?
All Ricks
: Ah, for God's sake, alright here, give me the time crystal.
All Mortys
: W-what're you doing?
All Ricks
: Calling myself. Here, listen, *belch* it'll probably go to voice mail since, you know, I'm calling myself.
All Rick phones
: Hello, Rick here.
All Ricks
: Don't fall for it, it's a bit.
All Rick phones
: Just kidding, haha! You just got Ricked. You've reached Rick's voicemail, you know what to do *beep*.
All Ricks
: Hey Rick, it's Rick. Listen, I'm sorry about earlier. No hard feelings. I know you know I mean it too. Take it easy. Whoa. Damn, look at this, I'm blown up. Three new voicemails. *voicemail repeats* Yeah yeah, I heard this one. *voicemail repeats two more times* You get the idea *belch* we're cool now.
All Summers
: Okay, well we're still not gonna let you out of this crate.
All Ricks
: Fine I'll just do it myself.
All Mortys
: If you could get out that whole time why didn't you?
All Ricks
: Because I waited until I was certain it was what I wanted to do, Morty. That's the difference between you and me. I'm certain, and you're a walking burlap sack filled with turds.
All Mortys
: You know, geez Rick, y—y—you're really tearing into me right now. You know, words hurt.
(Testicle Monster A floats into view in a bubble.)
Morty 1
: Oh, my God!
Morty 2
: It's a monster!
Morty 3

Summer 1
: It's a monster!
Summer 4
: It's a monster!
Testicle Monster A
: Ey, ye ey, quit yellin' quit yellin'.
Summer 1
: *Screams*
Summer 4
: Oh, my God...
Morty 2, 3, and 4
: *Screams*
Testicle Monster A
: What the fuck?! Your time is all ripped up to hell! You broke your time, twice!
All Ricks
: *sigh*
Testicle Monster A
: How did this happen?
Summers 2 & 3
: Yeah, but we don't even know, the first time...
Morty 1 & 4
: Who's that Brother Newman time elf?
Testicle Monster A
: Shut the fuck up! Oh, damn, I'm from the 4th dimension. I can hear all o' y'all. Now let's just see what we got here for a second.
All Ricks
: *groan*
Testicle Monster A
: Ay, damn it, were you tryin' to use this to- oh, see, you broke time, and you thought you could just stick it back together with this? How you think you gonna move time while you're standin in it you dumn ass three-dimensional monkey ass dummies?
All Mortys
: Oh way to go, Rick.
All Summers
: Yeah Grampa, way to go.
All Ricks
: Oh, what you're just gonna listen to this guy now? He's got a giant testicle for a head! He came here in a bubble. For all we know he could be the David Berkowitz of Nutsack Land.
Testicle Monster A
: Shut up. Here, put these on. They'll sync your possibilities up so I can bring you back to certain time. Y'all just-just negligent, now ay, ay, ay, the three of you, put your collars on!
Summer 1, 2, and 3
: What are you talking about?
Morty 1, 2, and 3
: We have them on.
Rick 1, 2, and 3
: Uh, we did...
Rick 4
: We're not wearing collars.
Testicle Monster A
: Exactly, because you're being obstinate.
Rick
1, 2 and 3: *belch* What?
Morty
1, 2 and 3: We did!
Summer
1, 2 and 3: They're on right now.
Rick
4: Alright, fine. Summer, Morty, put 'em on.
(Alternate timelines merge into one)
Rick
: Yes, we're back, problem solved.
Summer
: Yes, we're back to our own time.
Morty
: Yes no more cats, no more cats, oh you did it, you fixed it.
Testicle Monster A
: Yeah, now keep those collars on so you don't break your weak ass time again.
Rick
: How long exactly do we have to wear these things? They're really embarassing.
Testicle Monster A
: Well since you're goin' to time prison, I'd say you can keep em on forever.
Summer
: Time prison?
Testicle Monster A
: Yeah, well I don't know where you expect me to think you got that crystal over there, but the only way you dumb ass, assin' ass asses could ever have one, is if it was stolen.
Summer
: You stole a time freezing crystal from testical monsters?
Rick
: I would have been happy to pay for it, Summer, but they don't exactly sell them at Costco. Besides, there's a larger lesson to be learned here. Get him!
Testicle Monster A
: Ututututut! You'd better keep back! Man this will turn your ass into a third trimester fetus from 30 yards.
[Trans. Inside animal hospital operating room.]
Vet
: Hmm...
Beth
: Isn't there a kitten somewhere that needs a manicure?
Lawyer
: That's right Mrs. Smith, *whispers* give in to your anger. Neglect that deer.
Jerry
: Honey, it's gonna be okay. These men are from the Cervine Institute of Elk, Moose Deer and Stag. They can take this deer to a helicopter and fly it to the country's top deer surgeon on a wildlife reserve across the state border, where your jurisdiction ends.
Vet
: I guess that's the end of that.
Lawyer
: There is just one more thing. According to this state's veterinarian statute, this animal can't be transferred until the current attending physician verbally confirms their inability to provide adequate care. You heard the man horse doctor, you have to say you couldn't hack it.
Jerry
: We did it...
[Trans. Inside Rick's garage.]
Testicle Monster A
: (On phone) Uh-huh, no motha- no, Earth, dude, I'm talking 'bout, yeah, with the dinosaurs. No, if you've get to the dolphin people, you've gone too far. Alright man, I'll talk to you later, okay. (hangs up) You know what they do with 3rd dimensional life forms in time prison? Same thing they do in every other prison, only forever.
Morty
: Why are you doing this?
Testicle Monster A
: You think I wanna be an omniscient immortal being transcending time and space my whole life? I got ambitions man, bringin' you guys in is my ticket up.
Rick
: What if I told you there's a huge ticket up right behind you?
Testicle Monster A
: You really think I'm that stupid?
Rick
: Alright, hear me out on this. You're immortal, right, which means your life is infinite. Well in that case there's 100% chance that you'll eventually do everything, including turning around to look behind you.
Testicle Monster A
: I cannot argue that.
(Rick hits the creature with a wrench and grabs the organic gun he was holding)
Rick
: Ah, God, gross and weird!
(Rick drops the gun and it crawls toward the street)
Testicle Monster A
: Chris!
(The gun/Chris runs into the road and is run over by a car)
Testicle Monster A
: You killed my gun!
Rick
: Summer, Morty, take off your collars!
Testicle Monster A
: What? What the hell are you doing?
Rick
: Good question. I suppose the answer is: I'm not certain!
Testicle Monster A
: Oh, no, what are you doin'?

(Ricks, Mortys, and Summers hit Testicle Monster A one last time, he falls back and his head explodes.)
Testicle Monster A
: Ow, I'm defeated...
Summer 23
: What's happening?
Rick 23
: Time is falling apart, we've got to get back to certainty, quick! Give me your collars!
Morty 23
: Oh man, don't you have to fix, like, thirty of them?
Rick 23
: Morty, I have to fix three of them, and then there's thirty-one other versions of me that have to also fix three for a total of 96. I'm not an idiot. I know how to be decisive, now hand me that (Phillips/Flathead) screwdriver. Actually, make it a (Phillips/Flathead).
(Time splits into 64 timelines)
All Ricks
(off sync): Oh, shit.
[Trans. Inside Jerry's car]
Jerry
: Look, I know I was kind of a nuisance today. I know it's my fault we hit the deer, and I know you wanted to be the one to save it.
Beth
: Whatever. How petty would I have to be to care less about an animal's life than my own ego?
Jerry
: Hmm... you'd have to be pretty petty. But you'd still be the woman I married.
Beth
: Where are we going?
Jerry
: One last stop.
Beth
: Where's the helicopter?
Jerry
: There is no helicopter and there is no Cervine Institute.
Beth
: But the top deer surgeon...
Jerry
: I'm looking at her. Thanks for F.D.'ing me up like that.
Cold Stone Employee
: You'd better get moving, these lights are designed for basic ice cream work, they're not gonna last all night.
Beth
: I need five minutes.
(Short slow-panning montage of surgery)
Beth
: Jerry, this was the most romantic weekend I've ever had.
Jerry
: Thanks to Cold Stone Creamery.
Cold Stone Employee
: You're welcome.

Morty 30

Rick 30

Morty 30
: The collar, oh, the latch is broken! It won't latch closed around my neck!
(Zoom pan to Timeline 28)
(Presumably)
All Mortys
Except Morty 30: What's wrong, how come our collars aren't green?
(Presumably)
All Ricks
Except Rick 30: Obviously because someone doesn't know how to put his collar on and one of me is stuck trying to help him.
(Presumably)
All Mortys
Except Morty 30: Don't blame this on me, you're the one that couldn't fix a latch!
(Zoom pan to Timeline 30)
Rick 30
: What are you talking about, it's not broken, Morty, I fixed it, just put it on!

Morty

Rick
: You know what I'm talking about, oh yeah. I'm gonna do the cabbage patch, Morty. Check me out I'm doing the cabbage patch dance. It's a classic dance, remember, like this. Oh shit look at that.
Morty
: Do the cabbage patch. Do—do—do the dance.
Summer
: Hey wait a second, how come you guys took longer to get here?
Morty
: I don't know. I think like one sixty-fourth of my collars didn't work. It's hard to keep straight now that I have sixty-three other memories of everything.
Rick
: Yeah.
Morty
: But I feel like one of the sixty-four Ricks like, sacrificed himself for me, maybe, I think.
Rick
: Shut up, Morty. The last time you felt something, we all almost died. You little s—piece of shit.

Are you dogs? Robot dogs? Gosh, you guys are lame. Are those chokers from the 90's? What is this, a 90's nostalgia thing? Are you guys in that movie “The Craft” with Fairuza Balk?

Vindicators 3: The Return of Worldender
Author(s): Justin Roiland
Transcriber/Editor(s): D. Lint
Date Aired: 2015
Reference Name(s): The Avengers
Reference Date(s): 2012
Prologue Edit
Rick Sanchez: Don’t let any of those things get away, Morty. It their DNA gets into Earth’s food chain, our entire species could be sterilized.
Morty Smith: Then why aren’t we killing them?
Rick: Right, next time I need a species sterilized, who’s gonna do it for me, you?
Morty: Whoa! Rick! I-Is that the Vindibeacon? We’re being called to assemble by the Vindicators!
Rick: I refuse to answer a literal call to adventure, Morty. Let it go to voice mail.
Rick, the Vindicators only call when the universe itself is at stake.
They’re the first line of defense against evil.
They’re the guardians of the unguarded! They’re the writers of their own press releases, Morty.
They’re a bunch of drama queens that spend an hour talking and 20 minutes jumping around while shit blows up.
They’re a phase.
We did one, it was the big even of that summer, let it die.
I, Morty Smith, invoke my right to choose one in every 10 Rick and Morty adventures.
God damn it! Read ‘em and weep.
Fine. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Yes! Vindicator Command Ship Beacon received. We’re doing Vindicators Twoooooo!
Whoops. Uh, Morty, you might want to freeze some sperm.
Act 1 Edit
Supernova: Vindicators.
Worldender is back, and this time he’s out to end more than worlds.
We have reason to believe his stronghold is located on My balls.
Rick! The Terraneous system.
Once in range, Million Ants will scan for pheromone activity which should lead us to the location of the base.
Oh, that’s Million Ants.
I can’t see the ants from over here, I just assumed that was, uh, turd man, wiggly turd man.
Rick, stop! Rick, you have something to add to the briefing? Uh, yeah, just a few more design notes Um, this guy, the, uh the, uh I am Crocubot.
Right, Crocubot.
So, you’re half cold, unfeeling reptile, half also cold equally unfeeling machine.
Yes.
Wow.
So, your origin is what? Y-You fell into a vat of redundancy? Got damn! Noob Noob, we’re having a briefing.
If I can continue, Rick.
I anticipate sophisticated security measures.
I trust you can be of service there.
Well, let me check my list of powers and weaknesses.
Ability to do anything But only whenever I want Yeah, that sounds like a job for me.
I wish he had the ability to check his attitude.
Alan Rails, ladies and gentlemen.
After his parents tragic death in a railroad accident, he gained the power to summon ghost trains.
It’s not all bad though, they were spared having to see their grown son wear a WHISTLE.
Got damn! Thanks, Noob Noob.
This guy gets it.
Vance Maximus, Renegade Star Soldier Sorry I’m late.
It was happy hour.
Happy hour.
Uh, I was also late because of my drinking and mentioned it to zero applause.
Rick Sanchez. Tinkerer of Terror.
Man, that’s hard to say.
And Morty, right? Whoa, yeah! I never forget a kid.
What do you say, Vindicators, let’s make this three for three? - Haha! - Yes! Did he say "three for three"? Did he say he never forgets a kid? You mean two for two, right, Vance? Actually, we assembled a second time last summer to fight Doomnomitron.
So this is Vindicators Three? And you guys did Vindicators Two without us? I sense insecurity.
Are you sure there’s not just a picnic nearby? I guess he found his crowd.
Pretty toothless stuff, guys.
I hope you’re happy with the adventure so far, Morty.
These guys are even lamer than last time.
We weren’t here last time, remember? They did a whole Vindicators without us.
A bunch of them got killed, too.
They lost Lady Katana, Calypso, Diablo Verde
Yikes.
Yeah, things did feel less diverse in there.
This article says the reason we weren’t involved was "personality conflicts". Don’t worry, Morty, they love you.
Superheroes need a wide-eyed unremarkable to tag along and react to everything like it’s mind blowing.
I think the personality conflict might have been you? Jesus How awesome is that? I mean, they wanted to not need me so bad they murdered three innocent heroes of color and they still had to bring me back? Rick, since it’s my adventure and all, could you do me a favor? Uh, the adventure is the favor, Morty.
Me sleeping on these linens is the favor.
I mean, w-w-what what are we vindicating? Comfort? Rick, this really bums me out.
It-It’s embarrassing to find out these guys don’t like us.
Why? Morty I defeat gagoos more powerful than these guys every week.
Yeah, but not heroes.
Oh, please, they just call themselves heroes so they can I’m calling them that, Rick! They’re my heroes.
Mine! Huh, no accounting for taste.
I’m gonna go get a drink.
PA System: Good morning, Vindicators.
Ship has arrived at Terraneous system.
All Vindicators report to the briefing room.
The The room from the, uh the Uh, it’s the d It’s a different room than Than conference room.
I’m sorry, it’s my first day as a PA System.
First-day jitters.
Oh, God.
Good morning.
Looks like your grandpa had a long night.
Crocubot, why don’t you escort Mr.
Sanchez to a more comfortable spot so that someone can clean up his diarrhea.
Oooh, I’m nervous about my first mission! Actually, Noob Noob, you have a new mission.
Got damn.
Vindicators, prepare for arrival.
Morty, the Vindicators and I had a chat this morning, and I’m afraid we need to make a little change.
I-I totally get it.
I-I’m so sorry.
You should be.
Running around in a yellow T-shirt like you’re not one of us.
Disgraceful.
I-I-I’m not a superhero.
Cop a squat, chief.
Everyone in the universe is a hero.
All you have to do is know the difference between good and bad, and root for good.
Rick says good and bad are artificial constructs.
Yeah, well, I get the feeling He kind of needs that to be the case.
Not coming, Noob Noob? Ohh! No, uh, I got stuff to do here.
Vance: Security drones, inbound.
Star Mother, grant me your wrath.
All aboard! Gun turret.
Are you all right? Yes.
I only lost 400 ants.
My queen is laying more.
I am back to one Million Ants.
Someone wake up Sanchez.
Ugh! Oh, Christ.
Rick.
You’re up.
Barely.
We’re taking fire from an automated turret.
Can you bring it offline? Uh-huh.
Uh, my God, that’s better.
Rick! Hey, I can’t help if I can’t see.
I could’ve just used a ghost train.
Really? You don’t say.
You would’ve used a ghost train? Hey, everybody, the ghost train guy would have used a ghost train.
- Man, you.
- Is there coffee? Hey, Morty, can you be a pal, Grandpa left his coffee maker on the ship, you know, the French press thing Get it yourself.
Little extra snippy this morning, aren’t you? Just focus on the mission, all right? Oh-oh-oh, I’m sorry, oh, you’re right.
Ohh, real serious.
Gotta take it real serious, huh? Son of a Steam Engine.
They’re all dead.
Why would Worldender do this to his own men and several women? Well, he is the Worldender.
The guy ends worlds.
Kind of his thing.
- Ohh, real scared. Real on alert, high alert over here.
Watch out!
What the [bleep]?!
It’s Worldender! What happened to him?
I sense his life-force is fading.
Million Ants, ladies and gentlemen. The ant colony with the power of two human eyes. All right. Short mission. Good mission. Remember when Alan wanted to use a ghost train? See you guys in Vindicators 4. Morty?
Rick, whoever did this is an even bigger threat than Worldender. We can’t leave now.
He’s right. This is far from over.
Well, have fun with that, but Morty and I have to meet a Lady Comet, a Monorail Man, Two Assholes, and a Full Alligator in like an hour. Shit.
I sense the presence of a greater evil.
Drunk Rick: [on video monitor screen] [drunk] Check, check. 1, 2… Okay. Is it recording? Good. Hello, Vindicators. Welcome to your reckoning, baby!
Rick: Well, it’s official. I had too much to drink last night.
Act 2 Edit
Drunk Rick: [on video monitor screen] You’re gonna watching this. You’re… you know, the Vindicators. So, now that we know-
Rick? What’s going on, buddy?
Obviously, I came here last night during a blackout.
"Obviously"? You came here and defeated our arch nemesis while so drunk you don’t remember doing it? That’s something "obvious" to you?
Look, I’m a lit- [burp] little more complex than you guys, and, no offense, but I’ve always suspected that a lot of what you do in a year could be knocked out in a couple of hours.
Drunk Rick: [on video monitor screen] So I thought, why not just do your job for you, so we can have a little fun game.
Morty: Rick, is-is this a "Saw" thing? Are you seriously Sawing the Vindicators?
Rick: Morty, I’m a drunk, not a hack.
Drunk Rick: [on video monitor screen] If you break the rules, lose the game or try to leave, you will die. Like in [burp] "Saaaaw"…
Rick: Well, I-I-I think we’ve seen enough, I’ll just figure out how to unplug this.
Drunk Rick: [on video monitor screen] Okay, here we go. Room #1. The Vindicators are known throughout the galaxy, but do they know yourselves, do you know yourselves? Match your-your shit, your-your gimmicks, with your faces, and y-you get it, it’s a matching thing. And do it in 3 minutes or you’ll all die.
Screw this. I’m not playing his game. I’m gonna find us a way out of here.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on, Vance. He said you’d die if you tried to leave. That means there’s booby traps.
Why are you acting like that’s not you?
What part of "blackout" don’t you understand? I thought you drank.
Like cool drinking! Like sexy drinking, not this psycho, trailer-park shit!
Vance, stay calm.
Vance Maximus: Oh, so you’re the leader now, because we gave you a jacket? You’re the learning-disabled kid we do photo ops with.
Morty: Okay, ouch, but…
Vance Maximus: Okay, this- this is triggering me. I need space. I-I need space from this!
Give me one reason why, I shouldn’t crush your windpipe.
Because my epidermis is laced with a nanofiber defense mesh. And because, like I said, I don’t remember last night.
I told you not to invite this mummified mother-[bleep] back.
Alan, I’m not proud of what’s happening here, but if you keep coming at me, there’s gonna be another passenger on that ghost train.
Guys! I figured it out.
Drunk Rick: [on video monitor screen] Congrats! You did it-it!
It was a bit. All of the descriptors apply to all of you. Drunk Rick’s point is that none of you are very special or different. That’s always his point.
Let’s just get through this as quickly as possible. Then we’ll deal with the 2 of you.
The 2 of us? I hope you’re proud of yourself.
Uh, I kind of am. I saved the goddamn universe.
That’s not the issue, Rick!
Ahh, it would’ve been if I hadn’t!
Drunk Rick: [on video monitor screen, wearing Sherlock Holmes deerstalker hat] The Vindicators say their job is to fight evil wherever it hides, but they don’t Pick the location you’ll- you’ll never hear them even mention, because to fight darkness is to fight yourself.
Oh! I know this. Dorian 5!
Crocubot, don’t!
There’s no other possible answer. My mechanical and reptilian logic are certain of it.
Oh!
Huh! I’m seeing more croc than bot here.
God damn it! Uh, what happened on Dorian 5? Nothing! Nothing? We exterminated a planet.
W-Wait.
Huh?
Doomnomitron was hiding there! He’s a shapeshifter.
Destroying Dorian 5 was the only way to kill him.
Come on, guys, we’re all thinking it.
Don’t Don’t make me say it.
Oh, okay.
This again.
You know, I could have made you a device to detect Doomnomitron from orbit like that.
I’m not the one that didn’t want you back.
Alan was.
If you lay those deaths at my doorstep one more time! Do not threaten her.
Drunk Rick: [on video monitor screen] Congrats, you did it.
What the hell is "Israel"?
It-It’s just something Rick starts talking about when he’s blackout drunk.
W-What? In w In w-w-what? Like, w-w-what’s my point?
In a way that has no point, you just babble about defense budgets and the United Nations and then you pass out.
So, to be clear, I sometimes reference the geopolitical complexities of the topic. Which is not the same as going to an anti-Semitic place.
I have not stake in this
I don’t either, I’m I’m just saying, if anything, the drunk version of me is probably so supportive of Israel he wants what’s best for it and
Hey, man, I’m not touching this. You do you.
Drunk Rick: [on video monitor screen, wearing aloha shirt] Aloha, means hello and goodbye in Hawaii. But, uh, aloha means Has nothing to do with this room. I’m so drunk. [cough] Ugh, okay. Here’s the deal. I-I want to rest my eyes for a little bit, I’m I’m not going to sleep, I just just need to rest my eyes, so let’s make this one simple Just try to hit some three pointers. Let’s say you have to hit five three pointers in 5 minutes or I don’t know, the whole place the whole planet will get blown up with a n-neutrino bomb. And try to make it a-a lesson about yourselves, like like how selfish you are-are or something. And also Hawaii.
Morty: You guys hit the baskets, I’ll disarm the drunkenly-improvised neutrino bomb. There’s a 40 percent chance it’s a dud, but y-you should still stay back.
Morty, how many of these-
Too many, Rick! Too many!
Man, I am really getting high-roaded today.
That’s a 3 pointer.
Nice shot.
Thank you.
You two make quite a team.
We all do.
Yeah, I guess
That’s a 3 pointer.
But you guys have always had a an unspoken bond.
I mean, really unspoken.
Like, let’s-not-tell-my-husband unspoken.
We aren’t married anymore, Alan.
Sure, but were we married when you two were "stranded" on Delphi Six for 3 days? Because I sensed something was weird when you came back But what do I know about sensitivity? I’m just a phantom train conductor. You’re the pile of ordinary bugs that my wife!
That’s a 3 pointer.
Where the is the lead wire? You always put it in the weirdest place.
Um, uh, over here maybe? Jesus Christ, what a shitty neutrino bomb.
It’s a miracle I ever actually destroy anything.
Oh, I don’t know, you managed to destroy just about everything today. The villains, the heroes, the lines between them, my childhood.
Thank you. I appreciate it, Morty, I know you were sucking the Kool-Aid out of the Vindicators’. So the fact that I was right about them must be pretty hard to admit.
Yeah, it is. You know why, Rick? Because when you’re an asshole, it doesn’t matter how right you are, nobody wants to give you the satisfaction.
I know. Everyone wants people they like to be right. That’s why popular people are [bleeping] dumb.
And why your pretentious, poorly-written, high-budget friends back there can eat a double-decker shit sandwich. Disarmed.
Holy shit. You’re jealous.
Yes! Is that what you want to hear?!
Did it feel good? Did you like his 6 million wriggling legs more than my tragedy-stricken, half-ghost, half-tumescent penis?!
Guys, stop! You’re just proving my asshole grandpa right! You wish this was about sex! We loved each other! We had a child together! What?! I conceived a child with Million Ants and it died inside me because it was half a million ants and half collapsing star! And yes.
He was better than you.
Yeah? One million times better.
All aboard, mother
Stop! Oof! Didn’t see that coming.
Is that sarcasm? I don’t want you slipping away when this is over.
All of these deaths are on your hands.
Okay, come on, maybe a couple of them, but definitely not the Train Guy.
Oof! All of them.
Oookay.
Drunk Rick: Congrats. You did it. [on video monitor screen, eating pizza] All right, by now, I’ve been pretty clear that I think the Vindicators are full of shit. But you do have one thing that I’ll never have. And that thing is the only part of the Vindicators with any value to me. If you know what it is, place it on the platform. Guess wrong and pla-planet will explode. And probably the solar system, ‘cause I kind of eyeballed the neutrino bombs on this one.
Supernova: So what’s the trick? Morty, you’re the Drunk Rick expert.
I think no matter what we put on there, we die.
He said it’s the part of the Vindicators he values.
That means nothing.
He wants our last moment alive to be spent knowing how few he gave.
Jesus! Okay, open to second opinions.
It could-It could be Morty.
What? Hey, I don’t know.
I mean, look, when I get drunk, I get stupid and emotional and there’s no logic to it.
It’s, like, it’s possible I got so drunk I felt like I was losing Morty to the Vindicators, and maybe this is my way of saying, "Okay", you can have him but only if you know how important he is, "otherwise I’ll kill you". That is a really specific guess.
Look, I-I there’s nothing in the room but us.
I’m just using logic to connect some dots, it’s the best guess I’ve got.
But you’re betting our lives on it.
I’ll cover that bet.
I get it.
Well, Morty, I think you’re doing that smirky face because you’re misinterpreting the moment.
I am not being coy about some hidden love for you.
I want to be really clear that if anyone has a better guess, like, if I gave you an amulet last night, or- Phew. Oh, shit.
Drunk Rick: Sorry. I’m not good at goodbyes, and I’m drunk, so, you know, I just It looks like I’m never going to see you again. I can’t really roll with the hero types. And I don’t they They don’t want me around. But I want you to know, even if I didn’t show it at the time, I really appreciated you sticking by me. Goddamn it, why am I crying? It makes no sense. Ugh, you’re-you’re probably confused because we barely knew each other, but you really stuck your neck out when you gave me props for my awesome jokes in the briefing room. Everybody else had their head so far up their ass. Even my own grandson is like, "Oh, the Vindicators, they’re so cool". I mean, he’s a moron, that’s their demographic. But you’re different, Noob Noob.
Morty: Mother[bleep]
Drunk Rick: You’re [bleep] cool. And you’re smart. And I bet we coulda hung out and shit. And I hope you get to be a full-fledged Vindicator and and do-do me a favor, don’t don’t let them know I-I got emotional. But you can tell them one thing. Tell them I said- Oh Okay. I just shit myself. Okay, later.
Rick: W- Dude, Morty, what happened-
Morty: Shut up.
I sense this means we are not dying.
Not all of us.
Sweetheart.
Just let Titty Bean do this, Snuzzles.
It’s for the greater good.
Greater good? Titty Bean? It’s like you said, Morty. There’s no right or wrong Never said that.
It’s the galaxy’s faith in the Vindicators that keeps the galaxy secure.
Yeah, I feel safer already.
No doubt, who do we make the check out to? I will say we are getting some good licks in while choking to death Right?
Titty Bean. Listen to me.
When you came to me, I was merely a sentient colony of ants.
It was your beliefs, your pursuit of justice that taught me to be a man.
When did it get so complicated? Who knows.
But we can make it simple again.
You were always the romantic.
Which is why you can’t leave, either.
I’m sorry, my love.
Damn! She double-crossed Snuzzles!
Silence! I’m going to enjoy this.
Announcer: Let’s give a huge thanks to Rick Sanchez for killing Worldender, putting this awesome party together, and for booking one of the hottest talents out there Logic!
Logic: ♪Awe, yeah.♪
Rick: Look at that. It’s going down. Geez, I must have planned a whole party. Invited a bunch of people. Not bad, Drunk Rick, not bad.
Logic: ♪It’s Logic, y’all. Shout out to my boy, Rick. Are you ready?♪
Morty: Rick, Supernova’s getting away.
Rick: Eh, who cares?
Morty: But she was trying to kill us.
Rick: Morty, 20 people try to kill me every week. I end up getting high with half of them. I mean, check it out, Gearhead’s here.
Gearhead: Hmm. Well, that’s gonna shoot through me.
Morty, you’re wearing a Vindicator jacket.
Are you a little superhero now? Everyone in the universe is a hero, Mom.
Which is why we don’t need jackets.
And I’m pretty sure we don’t need Vindicators.
Don’t mind if I do.
Hey, everybody! Look who’s a Vindicator! Man, Grandpa Rick must have gotten shitfaced.
Shut up, Summer.
Rick: Who the [bleep] is Noob Noob?
♪Yo, it’s Logic once again, y’all. Don’t forget the name. Make sure you get home safe. And, man, we gotta all give it up for Rick, ‘cause, I mean, what kind of mother-. Just sets up a whole festival like this when he’s completely loaded, man? And all that stuff I said about Vance, that’s not real. Vance that guy, that guy sucks Whoo! Yeah! Yo D-Did I get paid yet? Whoo!♪
Post-Credits Scene
I can’t believe we’re getting Gear Cream with a Vindicator.
So, you girls in Gear college or Gear Alien terror attack! Okay.
Sounds like a job for me. I better go get into my alter ego.
So cool.
I know.
Wait, what alter ego? He was already wearing the jacket.
Gotta know when to hold ‘em and Aaaaah!

You're into lame stuff, Morty. I thought young dumb people considered it an honor to work for presidents or whatever the shit.
Maybe the first few times, but this just sucks. He treats us like Ghostbusters.
We should talk to him.
Yeah, that sounds fun. Let's set some boundaries with a spoiled control freak that thinks he runs the world and orders drone strikes to cope with his insecurity.
It's either that or more of this.
Third choice "Minecraft. "
You like it now?
Got to be honest, Morty. It's growing on me. Notify the president.
What do I tell him? Tell him the truth. Tell him Rick and Morty just blew off America.
You can use that wood to make a chest.
Oh, good. Then I can store all this wood I'll need later for chest-making.
Okay. You're not going to have fun if you analyze everything.

So, Ghostbusters aren't cool now? I don't recall signing that bill. "Control freak. " "Orders drone strikes to cope with" "Insecurity. " Should we drone-strike them? That would prove them right! And blow him up. Give me the phone.
Rick: Is this game popular with autistic people?
Why would you say something like that?
'Cause I'm starting to love it.
[ Cellphone vibrating ] "Failure to answer is a felony offense"? Play it cool. As far as he knows, we're still in the tunnels.
[ Chuckles ] When should we reveal we can see them?
We're holding all the cards right now. We don't show any before the time is right. Awesome.
Rick: Yello?
Hi, guys. U. S. President calling. How's it going?
Oh, hey. Just hard at work on this sex tunnel gagoo. I think it's kind of our new archnemesis, you know? It might take a while. What do you think, Morty a month?
Fingers crossed, a month, yeah.
You lying dicks! I see your asses playing "Minecraft"! I got you on satellite! That's right. What do you have to say for yourselves?
Okay, obviously, this looks bad, Mr. President. I mean, what doesn't look bad through an illegal spy satellite?
Don't high-road me. The two of you break 1,000 federal laws a day.
Wow, really? That's pretty cool.
And, yes, yes, yes, yes, you save the world now and then. America returns that favor by not holding the two of you accountable to its laws.
Oh! Oh! Oh, God. We We didn't know you saw it that way.
Well, it's nobody's fault. We never had "the talk," so to speak.
Yeah. I mean, the way we see it, when we show up, that's the favor to you. Especially, you know, when it turns out you wanted someone to come over just because you found an "X-Files" monster in your basement. As for the reason you've never, like, arrested us, we assumed you just knew that it was impossible, like, if you tried. You know, it wouldn't go well.
Wouldn't go well? Can you elaborate?
I think one of your 1,000 laws says, no, I can't elaborate. Just trust me. None of us want to go there. Which we'll never have to. By the way, we'll keep on saving the Earth. You know, we're We're happy to do that. Yeah, but not because it contains America Because moving to a new version of Earth is a bitch and a half. But feel free to call us, you know, as as, like, friends. Yeah, like, if you ever want to take a selfie
So, are we cool?
Yes. Thank you, gentlemen.
I told you, man!
I'm impressed, Morty. That went really well.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Everybody, get ahold of yourselves!
Sir, what is our new Rick and Morty policy?
Our policy is, we never needed them and never will again. Today, we celebrate our independence from Rick and Morty. Everyone out.
All this spring at Clothes Mart, there's a clothes sale. Come on down to the clothes section. I just put it on for fun. I know I can't buy it.
Oh, come on. You look great! You're only young once. Just promise, if the results are too strong, you'll use protection.
Really?! Thanks! When did you get rad?
I don't know. Maybe I adjusted to the divorce and everything's new.
I'll say. I couldn't stand you for more than an hour at a time before.
[ Chuckles ] No No offense. I like it. It's great. You're like a different person. Yeah. Different person.
[ Suspenseful music plays ] Oh, not you. Vamos! Vamos! Aaah! How do you like that, Morty?
Whoa! Just like "Minecraft"!
Ooh, a tiny nuclear-capable species just got discovered in the Amazon. Let's go make first contact before someone else gets all their shit.
What about this?
South Park did it 4 years ago, Morty. They're fast. Or we're slow.
[ Suspenseful music plays ]
Don't do it, guys. The casualties would be in the "Brazilians" because you're Brazilian. It's a threat and a pun. Nobody gets me.
Americanos! Pressa!
[ Suspenseful music plays ]
Oh. Hello, Rick. You're here, too. I guess this is a global crisis.
Oh, God. Mr. President, Morty and I have the situation covered.
I'm sure you did. Dismissed. Dismissed? Yeah, dismissed. Not needed here. You can leave and nobody will care. Have you never heard that before?
Do you even know how to take out this kind of threat?
We're not taking it out. We're going to shrink down and approach them diplomatically.
You shrink with pills?
Are you still here? Shouldn't you be going down to your next version of Earth with your selfie-craving star-[bleep] sidekick?
Whoa! We're allowed to be here. You aren't president of the Amazon. Yeah, I learned about your job in school. You're a civil servant. We're technically your boss.
Oh, please, Morty. You pay as many taxes as you have pubes.
Oh, I got pubes, Commander-in-Queef. You want to count them? Commander-in-Queef.
That's it! Do it! Recognize the rare element Sanchez-eum? We've been preparing for a Rick-level eventuality for some time.
You mean you've been ordering other people to prepare for it while you sat on your ass at peace summits.
Peace summits are important!
Oh, yeah! They work great! We're really drowning in peace! You suck! You suck!
Task Force Alpha, prepare to shrink.
Is there a Task Force Alpha health plan, by the way? Because if those pills are based on subatomic compression, you could get a more curable cancer just walking through the mushroom clouds.
God damn it! I'll do it. Whoa. Task Force Alpha is disbanded. And you two aren't American anymore! I can say that. You're expatriated! If you step foot on homeland soil again, I'll treat it as an invasion. Is this supposed to be painful?
Painful to watch. Oh, such lame shrinking. Oh, his clothes stay the same size? '70s shrinking, party of one.
[ High-pitched voice ] Eat my shrinking ass!
There he goes. All right. Let's get out of here, Morty.
What the hell?!
I made Sanchez-eum up, dumbasses. Don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia.
Stand down. He's not afraid of pirates.
Oh! Run, Morty! That part was true!
[ Ringing ] I-I can't talk now, sweetie.
beth: Oh, when can you?
rick: Good point. [ Burps ] What's up?
beth: Remember a little while ago when you said that, if I wanted, I could, like, leave Earth and wander the infinite cosmos to figure out who I am and that nobody would ever know I'd left because you could replace me with a clone?
rick: Mm-hmm.
beth: Am I the clone?
rick: Sorry. What?
beth: Am I the clone? Did the real me choose to leave, and I only think I chose to stay because that's what I need to think because I'm the replacement Beth?
rick: No.
beth: Okay. And one more thing. If I were a clone, would you tell me?
rick: Beth, you know, when When smart people get happy, they stop recognizing themselves. And you are very smart because you're very much my daughter.
beth: Oh, God. You're right. I'm sorry. Thank you, Dad.
rick: All good?
beth: Totally. I'm fine now.
rick: And just to be sure, you're not pretending to be convinced you're real because you're actually convinced you're a clone and you're now terrified that becoming self-aware would mean I'd have to terminate you?
beth: No.
rick: Okay. Glad I could help. See you soon. [ Breathing heavily ] Aaaaaah!
[ Suspenseful music plays ]
Where do I go? What does th What What What What does this mean? This means nothing. Pull forward and park. Then say that, God damn it! Sorry. Bad day.
[ Suspenseful music plays ]
I am Presidentress of the Mega Gargantuans. We named ourselves before learning we were small.
Madam Presidentress, I'm President of America, which is basically the world, but you didn't hear that from me.
I've come to I know who you are. We've already agreed to a ceasefire with your ambassadors, Rick and Morty.
Rick and Morty were here?
Of course they were here. They can shrink instantly and teleport. They told me to give you this. They said it will stretch as your cancer pill wears off and your body awkwardly enlarges at the rate of a '50s movie.
Are there pants? They said you'd prefer just a shirt. Apparently, you have a need to swing your dick around?
Rick and Morty escaped.
No shit. Take me to the Pentagon. We're at war with Rick and Morty.
You'll want to make a stop at the White House?
I have pants at the Pentagon, Rhonda. It's in my contract. I mean you need to call a press conference. Israel and Palestine have announced a permanent ceasefire.
What?
They signed something called. "The Pretty Obvious If You Think About It" accord. Apparently, an anonymous American diplomat took them to a "Star Wars" cantina, where they smoked perspective-enhancing alien pheromones through a laser hookah. I still say it has to be Putin.
It was Rick and Morty, you [bleep] dunce!
But you're getting the credit, sir. Your approval rating just hit 1.
Why would Rick and Morty want that?
Because they're assholes!
I'm flattered, but it takes a whole team to achieve what we did today.
Thank you. Well?
They haven't been back home, sir. We've got every possible location under surveillance.
God damn it! They're right here! They're here, God damn it! Code Red! We need backup! Everybody relax. Just waiting for you in the only room you can't blow up or spy on.
So, we're not changing timelines for you, but now you have everything you want, so you can forget we exist, and we'll return the favor.
You couldn't say that in a text?
Well, since we won't be seeing each other again, my Guys, we get it. It's a Code Red.
Enough. My grandson has worked hard for you, and I feel like he's earned a selfie.
Honestly, I could take it or leave it at this point.
You're taking it.
No.
What kind of fratty-ass status move is that?
Get out of my office!
Seriously? You're that stubborn?
He's the stubborn one.
I'm protecting my country.
Uh, from selfies?
From subordination to hostile powers.
Uh, does China know about that deal-breaker?
China doesn't piss on the White House.
Well, why would they? I'm sure it was expensive.
Get out.
Not without a selfie.
Arrest them.
Son, you have a right to refuse his order, and I guarantee you're going to die if you touch me, and there's no afterlife. Everything just goes black. Don't do it.
Whoa, Rick!
Okay.
What was that?
Death.
What kind?
Instant.
There was no sound. He just died.
Yeah, terrifying. It's a terrifying thing to watch happen. It's called a deterrent.
You couldn't just knock him out? How is knocking out a deterrent?
Everyone wants to be knocked out. Nobody wants to be dead. You committed murder in the Oval Office. Now you can't leave.
That's fine. I said I'm not leaving without a selfie.
Uh, I don't need a selfie.
And I'm saying you aren't getting one and you aren't leaving.
So we agree?
Yes. No. We disagree because you think you're getting a selfie and leaving.
Am I getting a selfie?
Never.
Then I'm never leaving.
Exactly.
See?
Does anyone have a shot?
Yes, nine people. I can show you. But I wouldn't recommend
Open fire!
God, you are dumb!
Get the President out of here!
Bad idea.
Wait. Why?
Because if there isn't someone in here that they're not supposed to kill, they're going to wreck the place trying to kill me. As long as you live, no matter where you are, if it isn't in a selfie with him, I'll be here.
Jesus! He's not a [bleep] god!
You don't know what I am! And you don't know what I can do!
Jesus! It's It's cool, Rick!
I'm Doctor Who in this [bleep] I could be a clone. I could be a hologram. We could be clones controlled by robots controlled with special headsets that the real Rick and Morty are wearing while they're [bleep] your mother!
I'm going to kill you!
Then come to 312 Olive Street!
Is that her address?
You don't know because you're a bad son!
Ow! Take him down! Semper fi! Aaaaah! Number three, The Twister. Ow! Damn it. Number four The Hanky Panky.
[ Knock on door ]
Beth?
My dad might have cloned me, and I might be the clone. And he says I'm not, but that's what he'd say to a clone.
Typical.
Number six, The Texas Ripple.
You look like you to me.
What are you, an idiot?
[ Sighs ] I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That was so rude. I came to you for help, and now I'm insulting your intelligence. And look where intelligence gets you.
Well, don't knock intelligence, because right now I'd love to understand how I can help you.
I can't be in charge of that, Jerry. My mind, my ideas are all part of the variable. The only constant is you. You know me inside and out. Do what you have to do.
Okay. Sit down. Now cross your legs. That leg on top. Good.
Oh, what is this?
[ Classical music play ]
Senior year, I took you on a date to the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra performing the music of Alan Silvestri in the Park. At this point in the song from "Volcano," when Tommy Lee Jones and the utility workers are using cars to guide the lava into a cul-de-sac, I realized my palms were so sweaty, I would never get to hold your hand. But I was desperate to touch you, so I wiped my palm on the grass next to me. But a Snickers wrapper kind of got stuck on it, so I started kind of jiggling it, whipping it without moving too much. But you started looking over, and I thought, "Well, this is it. She's going to see that I'm a loser," and I'll never get to touch her. "But I still have time to touch her. " But my hand had Snickers on it, and the brass section was swelling because it was the scene with the guy melting in the lava. And I just thought, "[Bleep] it. Lips don't sweat. "
Wow. Yeah. I'll never forget that feeling.
You're the real thing.
Then that settles it, because my memory is of hating that night. But now, reliving it, all I can feel is how lucky I am to be loved by such a simple, honest, simple man.
Simple twice.
This isn't the woman you married, Jerry, because this woman loves you.
Uh well, vive la différence. [ Chuckles ] Okay. That was lame. Listen, I Words. Don Cheadle. [ Moaning ]
You have the right to get the [bleep] out of my office!
You have the right to kiss my dick! Give me the thing. Ugh! Oh! Ugh! Oh! [ Laughing ] Ugh! Ugh! Ohh! Submit! Submit for the selfie! I yield! I yield! Take the selfie!
Okay. Morty, get in there and say, "Cheese. " Morty? Morty, come on! [ Sighs ] God damn it!
[ Cellphone vibrating ]
Rick, don't get mad, but I-I stole your portal gun.
What the [bleep] Morty?!
I told you I didn't want the damn selfie 800 times! Look, whatever the hell is going on between you and the president, it's got nothing to do with me.
So where did you go?
I can't tell you. Rick, did you tell my mom she might be a clone?
No! I told her she wasn't!
Well, isn't that what you'd tell a clone?
Oh, for Christ's sake.
Rick, my mom and dad are getting back together.
What? No! She's not a clone!
Well, she says it doesn't matter if she is or isn't because now she loves my dad, and she wanted me and Summer to come home, and we're hiding from you so you don't kill her if she's a clone in a place I picked that you will never find. So don't look for us.
Come on, bitch!
Oh, you come on, bitch.
I'm out. I'm done.
I've got to I've got to go.
So I win. Then I'm in charge, and you can't leave. You're a terrorist. You're an enemy of the state, and you kicked me in the balls 10 minutes ago! The office of the President can't coexist with a living god that won't submit to it I mean, besides Poseidon. But he's locked up in Area 51 already, so that doesn't really count.
Mr. President, I'll make you a deal. If you let me use your ghetto-ass off-brand deficit-tripling teleporter, I can go take care of something, and you'll never see me again.
Yes. Deal. Invisi-troopers, stand down. [ All groan ] Yeah, yeah. I don't want to hear it.
You know I could see them this whole time, right?
Don't push it, Sanchez.
[ Suspenseful music plays ]
He found us! I told you we shouldn't have gone to the same cabin as last time!
Oh, we're not going anywhere. This ends now. Dad, if you're my dad. Of course, you're not my dad. You're here with a gun because I am a clone. I guess I have all your daughter's memories. So I guess I was her, which makes me related to her. But I don't relate to her. She left her family and me, which means I relate to them. So if you kill me, fine. You're not killing her. But you're killing a real family. And instead of doing that, will you just go away? Aren't there, like, infinite time lines? Can't you just move to one where I don't know I'm a clone and where a different but identical version of your authentic sociopathic crazy bitch of a daughter can keep making you proud by being somewhere else?
Beth, you crazy bitch. You're my daughter. I brought this here to kill Jerry.
Oh, my God! Jesus Christ!
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You win, Jerry. You win! No amount of genius can stop your dumb mediocre vacuous roots from digging into everything and everyone around you and draining them of any ability to fend you off.
Well, it couldn't have been easy for you to say that. I appreciate it.
Morty, where's my portal gun? Let's get out of here.
I'm staying here, Rick.
Are you Ugh! Nobody gets it. Nothing you think matters matters. This isn't special. This This is happening infinite times across infinite realities. Including this? [ Farts ] Yes! Which is not to say that, subjectively, it wasn't funny.
Are you going to stay?
There's infinite time lines, Morty. Why would I stay in the one where I trashed the White House, became an enemy of America and the lowest-status character in my idiot family? Because of the fart? There's still some rubble over there. I don't think you've ever understood what "Secretary of the Interior" means!
Hi, Mr. President. I'm Rick Sanchez, but not the one that did this. We Ricks travel the infinite and switch places with each other like hermit crabs, I think. I'm fly-fishing Rick. You can distinguish me from the Rick that you had a falling-out with by my fly-fishing enthusiasm and accompanying hat. I hope I can be of service if, uh, you ever find the planet to be in danger. Friends? Sounds good to me. Kids, dinner! I got Panda Express!
Did you get sugar chicken?
That's kind of the only thing they have.
I love Panda E! Thanks, Mom!
I'm hoping to get a piece of your sugar chicken later.
[ Laughs ] Stop it.
Here's your [burps] stupid hat, dipshit.
Dad, you can't talk to Jerry that way anymore. We're a real family now. In many ways, things will be like season 1 but more streamlined. Now Jerry and I are happily married parents, and the idea that I was motivated by a fear of you leaving can be eschewed.
Eschewed? You've never used that word. Maybe you are a clone.
[ Laughs ] It's not like Rick would tell us.
[ Laughter ] Ooh-wee! What a season! Sorry I never showed up, but I got married. I had a baby. I went back to school and got my G-E-E-E-D. What did you do while you were waiting? Hopefully you didn't just [bleep] around and waste your life. Ooh-wee! See you for Season 4 in, like, a really long time! I might even have a big white Santa Claus beard and and and a And a couple of grandkids and all that kind of stuff. See you See you then!
Did you get any of that?

(A giant yellow head flies through space toward Earth. The Earth catches fire and land masses start collapsing as the wind picks up.)
(A man takes a golf swing in the middle of the storm. A large piece of land drops out in front of him, leaving a large hole.)
Man
: Hey, golf is easy now!
(The hole gets larger and the man falls in.)
Man
: Aahh! Golf is hard again! Golf is hard agaaaaaaain!
(A news anchor in a raincoat, Terry, is downtown with people panicking in the background as the giant head stares blankly at Earth. A news title says “ArmagHEADdon?!”.)
Terry
: The view here is the same as yours, Jim. A giant head has entered Earth’s gravity, triggering climate change and natural disasters we thought were impossible for at least another eight years.
Jim
: (in news studio) Let’s not make this political, Terry. Do we know what this giant head wants?
(Giant Head clears its throat, creating a large wind blast)
Giant Head
: SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT.
(winds pick up and the tides change rapidly with its speech)
Terry
: Jim, you heard *static* said, “Show me what you got.”
Giant Head
: SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT. I WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU GOT. (lamp post falls over, Terry runs out of frame)
(Rick turns off the TV, they are on the couch)
Rick
: Oh boy. Time to go, Morty.
Morty
: Uhh, where?
(Rick puts on sunglasses)
Rick
: The Pentagon. I mean, not THE Pentagon. *burp* The lame one, here on Earth.

[INTRO]
(At the house, winds still blow strongly. Summer, Beth and Jerry are standing outside.)
Summer
: Is it God? If it’s God, do we get out of school?
Beth
: It’s not God, Summer.
Jerry
: She’s allowed to think it’s God if she wants, honey!
Beth
: Shut up, Jerry.
Jerry
: Ok…
(Rick and Morty pull out of the garage in the ship.)
Beth
: Dad, what do you know about this?
Rick
: Morty and I are going to look into it. You guys hold tight.
(they fly off)
(Mr. Goldenfold arrives on a moped.)
Mr. Goldenfold
: Scary stuff, huh? Pretty freaky. Hi, I’m Morty’s math teacher. I’m also part of the street team inviting folks to the church downtown so we can pray together.
Beth
: How is praying going to help?
Mr. Goldenfold
: Ma’am, a giant head in the sky is controlling the weather. Did you wanna play checkers? Let’s be rational! I’ll see you at God’s house! (leaves)
(Pentagon war room, everyone is arguing)
President
: Gentlemen, gentlemen, one at a time! Simon?
Simon
: SETI, NORAD, and every broadcaster on the planet are attempting to show this being what humanity’s got. String theory, world history, the human genome.
(Nathan slams fist on table)
Nathan
: Have you tried sending it launch codes? Mr. President, what America’s got is 70,000 megatons of KABOOM-BOOM! And I say we show it right up this floating head’s ass!
(Argument begins again. A portal appears and Rick and Morty step through.)
Guards
: Hold it! Don’t move! (they approach Rick and Morty with guns)
Rick
: Stay back! This watch turns people into snakes!
(Guards stop and look at Nathan for approval. Nathan nods at them, and the guards aim. A laser fires at the guards and they disappear, leaving only snakes.)
President
: Stand down. Everybody stand down! I’m the leader of these people and I’m unarmed. There’s no need for any more snake-makery.
Rick
: My name is Rick Sanchez. This here’s my grandson Morty. (drinks from flask)
Everyone
: Hi, Morty.
Morty
: Hey.
Rick
: I’ve seen enough of the galaxy to know that what we’ve got here is a Cromulon from the Cygnus-5 Expanse. So you can forget about nukes, and you can forget about math. (points to viewscreen showing floating head) This head won’t go away until *burp* Earth shows them it’s got a hit song.
Everyone
: Seriously, that’s impossible, etc…
Simon
: You mean like Vivaldi?
Rick
: No, Frasier. A live performance of a newly-written, catchy, original song. The Cromulon feed on the talent and showmanship of less-evolved lifeforms.
President
: All right, all right. Thank you, Mr. Sanchez. Change of plan, people. Get me Pharrell, Randy Newman, Billy Corgan, and The-Dream. (no one responds) The-Dream? He wrote “Umbrella” and “Single Ladies”? You people haven’t heard of The-Dream?
Rick
: You’re gonna wanna put them on that giant speaker system at your sonic testing facility at Area 51.
Nathan
: How do you know about that?
President
: For God’s sake, Nathan, the man turns people into snakes. He can use Google Maps.
Aide
: Sir! Pharrell, Newman, Corgan, and that Dream guy. They’re all dead.
President
: What? How is that possible? Do people just die when I name them?
Aide
: The Grammys, sir. There was an earthquake and all the musicians... (sniffs, holding back tears) All the famous ones, they’re gone.
President
: Dear God.
Aide
: Hold on, sir, just a minute. Ice-T survived. He’s inbound on an F-15, ETA two hours.
Rick
: Good luck, Mr. President.
Simon
: Sir, the magnetic poles are about to reverse. In two hours, there may not be an Earth to save.
(Rick opens a portal)
President
: Sanchez! Are you a musician?
Rick
: I dabble, Mr. President.
President
: Get this man and his grandson on a Blackhawk to Area 51.
(At the church, everyone is panicking.)
Pastor Bob
: People! Everyone! Remain calm! Every crisis of faith is an opportunity for more faith! When God deals you an 11, you don’t fold! You double down, and always hit on a soft 16. That means you, Jews.
Jew
: I beg your pardon, pastor, but the last I looked outside, it seems to be you that’s been dealt the weak hand. Jews rule! (no one responds) Nobody? Ok, tough church.
Principal Vagina
Hi, Principal Vagina. The name’s real, possibly Scandinavian. I’m just gonna come out and make this pitch. The old gods are dead. F*** all previous existing religions. All hail the one true god, the giant head in the sky.
(everyone reacts)
Principal Vagina
Ah, di di di di. (to Bob) Bob, Bob, I get it. But unless this (holds up a necklace with a cross) can beat that… what have you done for me lately? (tosses necklace to Bob) So if you wanna excuse me, I’m going out on the sidewalk and dropping to my knees and pledging my eternal soul to the thing that literally controls the f***ing weather! (walks out) Outta my way!
Pastor Bob
: Ok, if sanity’s been restored to this assembly, I’d like to talk about the cost of repairing our new organ. Sally, the plate, please.
Mr. Goldenfold
: (holds up a dollar) Ohhhh, this is my favorite part!
(Helicopters over the desert, subtitle “Nevada Desert: Restricted Air Space”. Rick and Morty are on a helicopter)
Morty
: Rick, are you really a musician?
Rick
: Who’s NOT a musician, Morty?
Morty
: Me!
Rick
: Yeah, not with that attitude.
Jump Master
We’re in the drop zone! I’m the jump master! My name’s Jamey! With an E-Y! Go, go, go! (Rick slides down rope)
Morty
: B-b-but we don’t have a song!
(Outside the church, Principal Vagina is on the sidewalk on his knees)
Principal Vagina
Giant head in the sky, please forgive all that we’ve done. We’re sorry for increased levels of emissions and our racism. And of course, the amber alerts I keep ignoring on my phone.
(At Area 51 speaker system, Rick and Morty slide down rope out of helicopter)
In unison
Rick
: WhooooOOOOAHHHH!!!!
Morty
: WhooooOOOOAHHHH!!!!
End unison
(They land on a stage with various live performance equipment on it. The yellow Cromulon is in front of the stage staring.)
Rick
: (picks up a microphone) All right, Morty, let’s get ready to do it! Why don’t you, uh, find a button on one of those keyboards and lay down some kind of beat?
Morty
: Rick, I think we need to cut our losses. We get our family and portal out of here!
Rick
: Morty! Good music comes from people who are relaxed. Just hit a button, Morty! Gimme a beat!
Morty
: Oh man, ok, all right, um…
(Morty presses a key and a beat starts, Rick knocks over a mic stand and starts “singing”)
Rick
: Ahhhhh yeahhhhh
Ya gotta get schwifty
(Morty starts beating a tambourine in rhythm)
Ya gotta get schwifty in here
It’s time to get schwifty
(The President and Nathan are watching the performance on a screen inside)
Nathan
: Get… schwifty? What the hell is that?
President
: It’s our world’s best effort, that’s what.
Rick
: Take off your pants and your panties
Shit on the floor
Time to get schwifty in here
I’m Mr. Bulldops
Nathan
: Mr. Bulldops?
President
: Don’t analyze it, Nathan. It’s working!
Rick
: Take a shit on the floor
Time to get schwifty in here
(Weather starts to die down around the world)
(At the church)
Pastor Bob
: And third-level donors get our all access family pass.
Summer
: Listen! The storm is stopping!
(On the stage)
Rick
: Hey, take your pants off
It’s schwifty time today

: Hmmmm.
(everyone at Area 51 waits in anticipation)
(at the church)
Principal Vagina
Please be kind to us for we are but tiny things with entire bodies stuck to your ground.
(at the stage)
Giant Head
: I LIKE WHAT YOU GOT. GOOD JOB.
(Giant Head flies away)
(everyone at Area 51 cheers and celebrates)
(at the church, everyone lifts Principal Vagina, “What do you know, he was right! Hooray Principal Vagina!”)
Beth
: Now hold on a second, let’s be rational about this.
(everyone stops and stares at Beth)
Beth
: No, I’m… I’m just saying, we don’t know if there’s a cause-effect relationship --
(earthquake hits, Beth falls on ground)
Beth
: Oh, God, what’s going on now?
(at the stage, Rick and Morty and Area 51 panic)
)
(At Area 51)
President
: What the hell happened?
Aide
: Mr. President, you’re gonna wanna see this.
Rick
: I think planet Earth has just been transported.
(At the church)
Principal Vagina
The head has left and sent its children!
Beth
: Holy CRAP!
(everyone gets on their knees)
Summer
: Oh dear giant head, we apologize for that discussion! It will never happen again!
(everyone starts murmuring prayers)
(At Area 51)
Simon
: Sir, we’ve started picking up on a garbled signal. We’re decrypting it now.
(screen gradually descrambles)
(Screen shows different bands of different aliens on different stages. Dance music plays in the background as the Cromulon narrates.)
Cromulon
WE ASKED THEM TO SHOW US WHAT THEY GOT. AND THEY DID. NOW WE’LL SEE WHICH OF THEM HAS GOT THE MOST. 24 HOURS, FIVE PLANETS, FIVE SONGS. BUT IN THE END, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE. PLANET MUSIC! All participation is involuntary. Disqualified and losing planets are disintegrated by plasma ray.
Rick
: Uhh, it’s probably a bad time to mention it, but any astronauts you guys had in orbit are definitely dead.
ACT 2
(dance music plays, Planet Music opening shows)
Cromulon
Welcome back to Planet Music! First up, let’s hear the latest song from planet Parblesnops. The Greebybobes! SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT.
Greebybobe
Hold it, hold it, stop! Music isn’t about competition or captivity! If you love music, you love freedom. Let these worlds be free, please!
Cromulon
DISQUALIFIED!
(plasma ray powers up and fires at the planet, blowing it up)
Cromulon
There’s one every season. Moving on to planet Arbolez Meterosos. Arbolian Meterososians. SHOW US WHAT YOU GOT.
Arbolian Meterososian
Ah two, three, four…
(The Arbolian Meterososians play a very simple and underwhelming song while looking at the Cromulons for approval.)
(At Area 51. Rick, Morty and Ice-T are in a studio with several instruments. Rick is playing a bass, Morty is poking at a keyboard, and Ice-T is in the corner. The aide comes in.)
Aide
: Rick, Morty, Ice-T. The timetable’s moved up. Earth’s on in six hours.
Morty
: Like we’re not already under enough pressure! (Morty flips a bowl of peanuts at the aide and it hits him in the head. The aide leaves.)
In unison
Rick
: Whoa ho ho ho ho!
Ice-T
: Whoa ho ho ho ho!
End unison
Rick
: Geez, Morty. The guy’s just doing his job. Take it easy.
Morty
: Rick, Ice-T, could you guys take it less easy?! We’ve got six hours to come up with a song!
Rick
: Genius happens in the moment, Morty. (walks over to keyboard)
Morty
: Well, can we at least go get our family? You know, so we can take them with-with-with us if we lose?
Rick
: That’s planning for failure, Morty. Even dumber than regular planning. (presses a button on the keyboard) Balls.
(Morty walks toward the portal gun)
Rick
: Morty, Morty, stop! Listen! There’s only so much charge left in this thing. If we portal home from here and back, we’re not gonna have enough charge left to get off-world. Get it?
Morty
: What?!
Rick
: Yeah, *burp* you see, I try to shelter you from certain realities, *burp* Morty. Cause if I let you make me nervous, then we can’t get schwifty.
Morty
: Stop saying it like it’s a thing! You made it up!
Rick
: Hey, Morty! Could you lick my… (Rick presses keys on the keyboard with the sample of him saying “Balls”)
(The President, Nathan, and his aide are watching them through a window)
Morty
: Rick, cut it out! That’s not funny, Rick!
Nathan
: I’ve seen enough. These guys are one-hit wonders.
President
: And what’s your plan, General?
Nathan
: We still have the nuclear option. On my word, we can launch a nuclear missile at every one of those heads in the sky.
President
: Our planet’s held captive on a live game show and your solution is to shoot the audience? You can put your faith in nukes if we get through this, General. Until then, I’ll put mine in Rick and Morty. “Get Schwifty” was a jam.
(in field outside church, everyone is dressed in robes wearing head hats. Principal Vagina is holding a homemade satellite on a stick with an earbud)
Principal Vagina
Hello? Yes sir, yeah. Thank you sir, thank you. He says he’s proud of what we’re doing and hopes we have a great Ascension Festival! Happy Ascension!
All
Happy Ascension!
(Jerry is holding an ice cream cone, Beth looks unimpressed.)
Beth
: We should pack up and leave town now.
Jerry
: I think it’s inspiring that our community is coping with fear in a way that involves a festival and homemade ice cream. If you’d stop being such an evangelical atheist, you might start enjoying yourself.
(Summer arrives wearing a head hat, holding two head hats. Beth double-facepalms.)
Jerry
: Whoa! Look at you! You’re wearing the hat and everything!
Summer
: Here’s yours! (puts hat on Jerry) Mom, do you mind if I cook dinner tonight?
Beth
: Yeah, sure. Wait, what??
Summer
: I love you guys. You gave me life. And it’s the will of the many heads that all children honor their parents.
Beth
: Dinner sounds nice.
(Ethan arrives.)
Ethan
Pardon, Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Summer, are you coming to the Ascension?
Summer
: Father, can we please go to the Ascension?
Jerry
: Sure! Let’s go to the Ascension. Wh-wh-what is it?
(Three people are each tied to a bunch of balloons, tethered to a stake in the ground. One is labeled “Thief”, another labeled “Goth”, and the third labeled “Movie Talker”.)
Principal Vagina
We hereby send these un-wantables skyward that they might be inhaled by the many heads, later to be sneezed back to us as better babies! (cuts first rope) Headward, free now to rise. (cuts second rope) Headward, free now to rise. (cuts third rope) Headward, free now to rise.
Summer
: Oh yes, yes! Rise to the giant head! You are free to be free!
(in the studio)
Ice-T
A squeegee comes up from the garage, right? And he’s got a lobster in one hand and movie tickets in the other. He’s like, “I’m ready!”
(Rick and Ice-T laugh)
Ice-T
Who would take a lobster to see Iron Man 3?
(Rick and Ice-T laugh)
Ice-T
Aw, damn. We’re out of original flavor Fig Newtons. I should get going anyway.
Rick
: Wait, wait, wait! Come on, h-hold on a second!
(Rick grabs the portal gun, hits a couple buttons, makes a portal in the floor and drops through it. Another portal appears in the ceiling and Rick drops out of it with several snacks.)
Morty
: What?!
Ice-T
Damn. You didn’t tell me you f*** around with portals and shit.
Morty
: That’s it!
(Morty grabs the portal gun and gets up.)
Rick
: Whoa, whoa! Morty! Give me that!
Morty
: You lied! You lied about the charge! You were just being lazy! Get back! Sit down!
Rick
: Morty, just put it down. You don’t know what you’re doing.
(Morty turns to a wall and fires a portal.)
Morty
: I’m going to go find Mom and Dad.
Rick
: Nooooo!
(Morty jumps through the portal and Rick tries to grab him, but the portal closes.)
Rick
: Ahhhh, sh**!
President
: Ah, sh**.
(Morty steps through different portals to different worlds, ending up in Buttworld.)
Morty
: Ahhh, sh**.
(Outside of the Smiths’ home, Summer, Beth and Jerry are hoeing the front yard.)
Summer
: And then Ethan played guitar and we learned the Seven Contemplations of the Head by singing them. It was really fun. Praise be the head!
In unison
Jerry
: Praise be the…
Beth
: Praise be the…
End unison
Jerry
: Yeah.
(Principal Vagina arrives on a bicycle with a seat, bell ringing.)
Principal Vagina
Hi folks, Head Priest Vagina. Thanks for farming all those potatoes. It’s 6 p.m., so if you’re a parent, you’re now entitled to adoration from your children.
Summer
: I’m going to start dinner! (walks into the house)
Beth
: I don’t know what to say. Summer is doing really well here.
Jerry
: She’s aced every test in potato class, and look how important potatoes have become.
(Someone tied to balloons floats by in the background with label “Inappropriate Joke Teller”.)
Beth
: She’s not getting pregnant or doing drugs or missing curfew…
Balloon Man
: Please help me! You can reach me if you try. Please help me!!
Beth
: That’s not our business as long as Summer is thriving!
(Inside the Smiths’ house, Summer serves dinner at the table.)
Summer
: Taco time! (Summer pulls off the lid to reveal exactly 12 tacos.) I hope it pleases you as the head desires.
Beth
: That’s wonderful, Summer!
Jerry
: We’re so proud of you. But honestly, you don’t have to make dinner every night.
Summer
: Of course I do, silly! (gasps and drops lid) Oh my God, daddy, I’m sorry I called you silly! I’m so sorry! (turns around and drops to knees) Heavenly head and cranial creator! Forgive my transgressions against family and community! May my chores complete me as I complete them!
(Summer sulks out of the dining room and up the stairs.)
(Morty stumbles out of a portal on a green world and collapses to the ground holding the portal gun. A figure looms over Morty, pokes him with a stick, then rolls him over.)
Birdperson
: Morty.
Morty
: Birdperson?
Birdperson
: You appear to be dying. I will make efforts to prevent this, but can promise nothing.
(In the studio, Rick plays with the keyboard and Ice-T is in the corner on his phone.)
Rick
: Wh-What do you think, Ice? Probably a little over-developed.
Ice-T
Shit. Over-developed, under-developed. Bad songs are bad songs.
Rick
: Well, do you think maybe, could you give me some help with it, or… ?
Ice-T
Ah, hell no, man. You do your thing, but I can’t afford to get my pride wrapped up in your shame. You know what I’m sayin’?
Rick
: Ice, I don’t want to be a negative Nelly or anything, but *burp* if Morty doesn’t come back with my portal gun and I eat it out there, it’s, uh, kind of your problem too.
Ice-T
Pfff. I ain’t worried about no Earth blowin’ up, man.
Rick
: What? Why not?
Ice-T
Yo, this is why.
(Ice-T transforms into a floating ice shard with the same face.)
Rick
: What the f***? You can turn into ice?
Ice-T
My story begins at the dawn of time in the far away realm of Alphabetrium. There, every being is a letter of the alphabet. But I was frozen and exiled to the cosmos by my elders as punishment for not caring enough about anything. Earth is just one of the many stops on my lifelong journey with no destination. So you better believe I don’t care if it blows up! Cause I’ll just be ice, floatin’ through space, like a comet!
Rick
: Take it from me, Ice. *burp* You can’t just *burp* float around space not caring about stuff forever.
Ice-T
Pshhhh. Man, watch me. Good luck, Rick.
(Ice-T blasts out of the ceiling of the studio.)
President
: Ok, things are getting out of hand. I better make sure Rick has everything he needs to “get schwifty.”
Nathan
: Oh, for God’s sake, that’s enough.
(Nathan pulls a gun on the President)
President
: What the hell are you doing, Nathan? I’m the goddamn President of the United f***in’ States!
Nathan
: I’m setting the nuclear option to launch one minute into Earth’s performance. And you, Mr. President, I hope you like being hit in the face with a gun!
President
: Wait, wait, wait, why-why --
(Nathan pistol-whips the President and he falls to the ground.)
(At Birdperson’s residence, Birdperson serves Morty a bowl of food and tinkers with the portal gun.)
Birdperson
: I believe I can access the history of Rick’s gun and help you get back to him.
Morty
: But can you help me get to my family? You know, at my house?
Birdperson
: Is your intention to abandon Rick using his own portal gun? In bird culture, this is considered a dick move.
Morty
: All of Rick’s moves are dick moves! Wh-what am I eating? What is this, bird seed?
Birdperson
: It is random debris. I found it in my carpet. I don’t know what humans eat.
(Tammy arrives wearing a bathrobe.)
Tammy
: You know what THIS human eats!
Birdperson
: Don’t be gross, Tammy.
Tammy
: (leans over to Morty and whispers) Bird… d***.
Morty
: Tammy… gross. Birdperson, you always stick up for Rick, but he doesn’t care about anyone but himself. He doesn’t think about the consequences of anything he does.
Birdperson
: And as a result, he has the power to save or destroy entire worlds. And he is the reason you and I know each other. And the reason I’m alive at all.
(Birdperson points to a wall of photos of himself and Rick together. Last shown is Rick holding a baby.)
Morty
: What’s that? Who’s that baby?
Birdperson
: Morty, suppose you could retrieve your family from Earth but had to abandon Rick. I could give your loved ones shelter on Birdworld, even jobs, possibly as worm ranchers. How often do you think you might look up at the stars and wonder what might have been had you just put your faith in Rick?
(Morty stands in thought for a moment. Planet Music starts back up on the TV.)
Cromulon
That was Chunky Tunk with “Full Ming Mong, Empty Gorp Dorp.” Up next, planet Earth!
Morty
: Oh God! We’re up?!?!
(At the church, Principal Vagina and other priests are talking with Jerry and Beth.)
Principal Vagina
Jerry and Beth, your family is a golden example of what Headism has to offer the world.
Beth
: The world?
Principal Vagina
Headism is a hit. We’re taking it worldwide and would like Jerry to be our church’s “Head” of Advertising.
Jerry
: You… would?
Principal Vagina
Beth, we’d like to promote you from horse surgeon, straight past human surgeon, to “Head” of Medicine.
Beth
: That’s my dream! That’s my dream.
Jerry
: Thank you. This is all so overwhelming, but, uh… we can’t.
Beth
: Absolutely not.
Principal Vagina
I’m sorry?
Beth
: We’ve been waiting 16 years for our daughter to respect us, but the key is, it has to be “our” daughter, not this person she’s become.
Jerry
: We’ll take our chances raising her without fancy new jobs outside of a potato-based religion. (turns and puts his hands on Beth’s shoulders) And you know what? I’m sick of pretending that we’re together because of the kids in the first place! I married you because you’re the love of my life!
Beth
: (puts her hands on Jerry’s sides) And I‘m lucky to have you and I never tell you that! You know, we will come out of this stronger as a family!
(Cut: Summer has tied Beth and Jerry to ropes and balloons outside.)
Beth
: Please don’t do this, please don’t do this! Summer!
Jerry
: Summer, listen carefully. I stole a paper clip and I have it in my cheek but I don’t know what to do with it and it hurts.
Summer
: You’re going to be ok! (ties another balloon to them) You will come back as babies!
Jerry
: I AM a baby! I’m a baby NOW!
(In the now empty studio, a portal opens up and Morty steps through.)
Morty
: Hello? Is anybody here? (looks through the studio window and sees the President tied up) Mr. President!
(Morty darts out of the studio to the President and unties him. The President climbs up to the console and presses a button)
President
: This is Bluebird. Code tango-niner-alpha. Abort launch. Abort! Hello? (releases button) He’s blocked me out.
Morty
: Sir, I need to get to the stage and help Rick get schwifty!
President
: It won’t matter how schwifty you get, Morty. The General’s got nukes set to launch halfway through Earth’s song!
Morty
: Oh my God! C-c-can you fly a Blackhawk?
President
: Can the Pope’s d*** fit through a donut?
Morty
: Uhhh, I’m not sure?
President
: Exactly!
(On the stage, Rick stands before the Cromulons.)
Cromulon
SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT.
Rick
: Ahem. (starts a low-key, bouncy song) Uhhh… lop-oo-lop-oo-lop-oo-dups, nop-oo-nop-oo-nop-oo-nuts.
(Outside the church, Principal Vagina is preparing to cut Beth and Jerry loose. The Cromulons' faces become angry.)
Principal Vagina
Headward free now to rise!
Mr. Goldenfold
: Hey! Look at the heads! Looks like the heads are gettin’ angry!
(In the desert, the President flies the helicopter clumsily to the stage with Morty in tow.)
President
: I’m really bad at this, Morty! There are way too many buttons on this thing!
Morty
: Mr. President, if I’ve learned one thing today, it’s that sometimes, you have to not give a f***!
(On the stage, Rick continues his song.)
Rick
: Nup-oo-nup-oo-nup-oo-nups… ooh, tough crowd.
(Outside the church, Principal Vagina is preparing to cut Beth and Jerry loose.)
Principal Vagina
I’m sure that has… that has nothing to do with this.
(Principal Vagina cuts the rope and the Cromulons immediately start booing.)
Summer
: The heads are displeased! (She jumps and grabs Beth and Jerry’s legs.)
Ethan
Summer! (He jumps and grabs her.)
(On the stage Rick continues his song as the Blackhawk arrives. Morty and the President slide down ropes out of the helicopter onto the stage.)
Rick
: Morty!
(The Cromulons begin cheering with “Yay!” and “Hooray!” etc. with smiles on their faces. The now unmanned helicopter crashes off frame.)
(Outside the church, Summer and Ethan are pulling Beth and Jerry down to the ground.)
Mr. Goldenfold
: The heads love this! They love it when we DON’T kill the Smith family!
(The balloons are released, but Beth and Jerry are still tied up.)
Principal Vagina
No! Stop that! You’re not allowed to interpret the will of the heads!
(On the stage, the President grabs the microphone and speaks to the control room staff.)
President
: Call off the nuclear strike! This is the President. Stop the nuclear missile launch!
Nathan
: Just launch the missiles!
(Nathan smashes a button and two nuclear missiles emerge from the ground in the desert. The Cromulons watch as the missiles fly toward the yellow Cromulon and lay puny explosions on its chin.)
Cromulon
BOO! NOT COOL!
(Outside the church)
Principal Vagina
I’m the only one that speaks to the heads!
(Cromulon zooms in close to Earth)
Cromulon
DISQUALIFIED!
Mr. Goldenfold
: The heads disqualified Vagina! Get him!
(The mob runs toward Principal Vagina. The Cromulon zooms closer.)
(On the stage)
Cromulon
DISQUALIFIED! DISQUALIFIED!
(The plasma ray points toward Earth and begins powering up. The control room staff evacuates. The plasma ray heads right for the stage but something flies in the way and blocks it.)
All
Ice-T?
(Ice-T slowly crumbles from the plasma ray’s power)
Ice-T
That’s right, it’s me, Ice-T! I care now! You made me care more! With all due respect, I’d like to hear what Rick and Morty have to play.
Morty
: What do you say, Rick?
Rick
: I say… (grabs mic) Let’s do it!
(Morty presses a button on the keyboard and a different beat starts playing. The heads start with “Hooray” etc while smiling. Rick claps over his head and Morty dances a little.)
Rick
: All right!
Morty
: Ohhhh yeahhhh!
Rick
: Come on, here we go!
Morty
: Ohhhh yeahhhh!
Rick
: Say it with me!
All
Head bent over
Raised up posterior
Head bent over (ahh yeah)
Raised up posterior
(Outside the church, Principal Vagina is ties up with balloons and rope. A different person cuts the rope. Vagina sees the heads smiling as he rises.)
Principal Vagina
Ohhh my GOOOOODDDD!!!
(On the stage)
All
Head bent over (yeah)
Raised up posterior (oh yeah)
Head bent over (oh yeah)
(Raised up posterior!)
Cromulon
After 988 seasons of Planet Music, the Cromulons have decided to declare Earth the final winner and bring our musical reality show to a conclusion. Goodbye!
(Earth is transported back to the right place.)
All
Yeah, we did it!
(Outside the church, everyone is still and silent.)
Mr. Goldenfold
: Did he just say “musical reality show”?
Jerry
: Yeah, it’s possible that we may have been correlating some things that weren’t actually related at all.
(Principal Vagina floats by in the background.)
Principal Vagina
HEEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!!
Beth
: We should go get him.
(At Area 51, everyone is celebrating. The President shakes hands with Morty.)
President
: I hope I can call on you again if we need you, Morty.
Morty
: Sure thing! And I was kinda hoping that I could get a selfie with you?
(The President waves over Secret Service.)
President
: Actually, if you try to tell anyone what happened here, we’ll deny it and probably worse.
(A Secret Service agent grabs Morty’s phone and snaps it in half.)
Morty
: Understood.
(Nathan runs toward them with a gun.)
Nathan
: DIIIIEEEE!!!!
(He is hit with an energy blast from Rick and disappears.)
President
: Why didn’t he turn into a snake?
Rick
: Trade secret, Mr. President. Particle beam in a wristwatch… snake holster on the leg.
(He pulls up his pant leg to reveal a holster which a snake crawls out of. The snake slithers away and a soldier whistles impressed. The President begins laughing and hugs Rick.)
President
: I love this man!
[CREDITS]
(On Alphabetrium, Ice-T enters a great hall containing his elders: a grey J, a gaseous F with a female face, and a Q made of lava. All three are holding different scepters.)
Ice-T
Magnesium-J, Hydrogen-F. Father.
Magnesium-J
: Word of your selfless acts on the Earth planet have travelled across the galaxy.
Ice-T
I have changed. I am ready to rejoin my brethren on Alphabetrium.
Magnesium-J
: Very well. Your exile ends today!
(All three press their scepters on the ground and the scepters glow. The beams form another beam that hits Ice-T and transforms him into a letter T made of water.)
Magnesium-J
: Welcome home... Water-T.
(The hall shakes and begins falling apart.)
Purple-P
: The Numbericons! They’re attacking!
Magnesium-J
: Battle stations!
(A piece of the building falls on Magma-Q. Water-T runs over to him.)
Water-T
: Father!
Magma-Q
: I love you son. I should have never turned you to ice. (He dies.)
(Water-T produces a pistol on each T-end and begins walking out.)
Magnesium-J
: Water-T, where are you going? There’s too many of them!
(A dramatic zoom to Water-T’s face.)
Water-T
: Then I better crunch the numbers.
(Water-T bursts out of the door shooting at several Numbericons. The frame freezes mid-action and we hear gunshots and screaming. A title appears: “This summer: Water-T And The Rise Of The Numbericons.”)

You’re language has the word "squanch" in it a lot. Doesn’t that become tedious and worn out, like the smurf thing?

Still, what is he, 40? [ Chuckles ] It’s just, you know, when he was 30, she was an actual child. When he was her age, she wasn’t born. When he was, let’s see, like, 18, she was literally in there in your womb. Imagine being pregnant with your daughter and a bird teenager comes into your home and says, "I’ll take that. I’ll have s*x with that."
[ Both chuckle ]
Beth
Give us one second.
Jerry
Oof!
Beth
Were you born with your feet in your mouth?
Jerry
I was transported here against my will in a meatball, all right? So take your attitude to the men’s section of kmart ‘cause you need to cut me some slack... S.
Beth
I want you to stand in the corner and face the corner and talk to nobody.
Jerry
Maybe... I... Will.
Morty
You know, you’re not being very supportive of birdperson on his big day.
Rick
Birdperson’s big day, Morty, was at blood Ridge on glapflap’s third moon against the gromflamites! This? This is a losing battle.
Morty
Geez, Rick, it’s not like he’s dying. He’s getting married! I mean, what do you think’s gonna happen if you open yourself up a little bit? I mean, look around. This is your family and friends all around you, you know? Take the day off. There’s nothing to run from, nothing to fight.
Tammy
[ Whistles ] That’s his last name.
Summer
Are you hyphenating it?
Jerry
Squanch this, mo-fo.
[ Both laugh ]
Rick
Good one, Morty. Excuse me, bartender. Can you make me a dumb grandson pep talk? It’s one part lame advice about stuff you know nothing about and a lot of vodka.
Bartender
Mm-hmm. I have a lot of vodka.
Rick
Then I’ll take one of those. I don’t need the rest.
Morty
God, whatever, Rick.
Beth
Oh, it sounds like you and my dad have a long history together. Wish I could say the same.
Birdperson
The road your father and I walked together is soaked deeply with the blood of both friends and enemies.
Beth
Must be nice. Um, I used to have to draw him into family photos with a crayon.
Birdperson
The war in which we fought is far from over. We live our lives in hiding.
Beth
I guess I should be happy for you. I mean, great, you guys got to hang out. I hope you had a blast.
Birdperson
The galactic government considers us terrorists. It’s unwise of me to share these details, but I’ve become inebriated.
Beth
I don’t know if you can appreciate what it means to grow up without a father, but... the guest list at this wedding includes 17 of the federation’s most wanted.
Birdperson
We have committed numerous atrocities in the name of freedom.
Beth
Annnd during that time, I don’t suppose he ever mentioned his daughter. Are those baby quiches?
Birdperson
Night crawler pate. I should prepare for the ceremony.
Beth
Like talking to a brick wall.
[ Squawking ]
Squanchy
In the name of the squanch, the six rivers, the four squanches, and the nine balls, I unite these two organisms in eternal squanch! Tammy, you may squanch your vows now.
Tammy
Birdperson... [ Inhales sharply ] You are my seed, my worm, my earliness, and my lack of cats. I promise to be yours until your death.
Squanchy
Nice!
All
Aww!
Squanchy
Birdperson.
Birdperson
Tammy, I was approaching infertility when I met you, but there is still time. I am yours until my death.
All
Aww!
Rick
[ Burping ] Aww.
Squanchy
I now pronounce you squanch and birdperson!
[ Cheers and applause and profane kissing ]
♪ Girl, you got it going on ♪
[ children laughing ]
Cyborg Photographer
[ Monotone ] I am not staring at you. I am a cyborg photographer. Just act natural. This is a candid shot. I don’t require a camera so... sorry. Hi. I am not staring at you.
[ Screams ]
[ Clinking ]
Rick
Uh, hi, everybody. I’m ri[Burps]ck. You know, when I first met birdperson, he was, uhh... Listen, I’m not the nicest guy in the Universe because I’m the smartest. And being nice is something stupid people do to hedge their bets. Now, I haven’t been exactly subtle about how little I trust marriage. I couldn’t make it work, and I could turn a black hole into a sun, so at a certain point, you got to ask yourself what are the odds this is legit and not just some big lie we’re all telling ourselves because we’re afraid to die alone? Because, you know, that’s exactly how we all die... alone.
Summer
Oh, boy.
Beth
Oh, dad.
Jerry
Jesus.
Rick
But... but... Here’s the thing. Birdperson is my best friend, and if he loves Tammy, well, then I love Tammy, too. [ Cheers and applause ] To friendship, to love, and to my greatest adventure yet... opening myself up to others.
Summer
Hear, hear! Cheers!
Squanchy
Cheers to that, mother[Bleep]
Birdperson
Thank you, Rick.
Tammy
That was beautiful. Gosh, I look around this room, and I think, "uh, Tammy, you’re a high-school senior from the planet earth, and you’re marrying a 40-year-old birdperson? Like, what?!"
[ Laughter ]
Summer
Yeah, Tammy!
Tammy
But then I think, you know, in a lot of ways, I’m not a high-school senior from the planet earth. In a lot of ways, what I really am is a deep-cover agent for the galactic federation, and you guys are a group of wanted criminals, and this entire building is, in a certain sense, surrounded.
[ All murmur ]
Rick
Oh, sh1t.
Summer
I...Don’t get the metaphor.
Rick
I’ll explain it to you later.
Tammy
Everyone here is under arrest for crimes against the federation.
Drunk
L’Chaim!
Birdperson
Tammy, what are you doing?
Tammy
Sit your bird ass down.
Birdperson
Tammy?
[ Cawing weakly ]
Rick
Birdperson!! No!! [ Screaming] Holy...
Tammy
[ beep ] Drop the portal gun. Slide it to the center of the room. [ Beeping ] Somebody confiscate that and don’t damage it. They’ll want it at...
[ whooshing ]
[ High-pitched ringing and muffled background ]
[ Sighs, roars ]
Squanchy
There’s no time to squanch! Get your family out of here! I got this.
[ Gulps ]
[ Roaring ]
[ Deep voice ] How about a taste of my squanch?!
[ Growling ]
Rick
Come on, this way!
Squanchy
Squanch this!
[ Engine turns over ]
Jerry
Good thing I grabbed a space weapon.
Rick
That’s a confetti gun, you [Bleep] idiot!
Beth
Dad!
Rick
Hold on tight!
Pat
Aaah!!
Diane
Aaaah!!
[ Sirens wailing ]
Rick
God damn it! God damn it!!
Beth
What the hell happened back there?!
Rick
This is on you guys. I told you weddings are stupid.
Jerry
Uh, Rick, is there anything you’d like to tell us about your relationship with this previously unknown galactic government?
Rick
All the important points seem pretty clear, no? They think they control the galaxy, I disagree. Don’t hate the player, hate the game, son.
Jerry
How could you be so dishonest with this family?
Rick
Oh! Oh, should I have been more open and trusting and loving like, oh, I don’t know, my now dead best friend? Or your daughter, who is bffs with an intergalactic narc?
Summer
Hey, Tammy was cool!
Rick
And now we know why.
Summer
Because of you!
Rick
[Bleep] You, Summer, and [Bleep] the government, and [Bleep] me for letting my guard down, which I will never do again.
Morty
Geez, Rick! You can’t say f... "‘f’ you" to your granddaughter.
Rick
I just did, Morty. Here’s dessert. [Bleep] You.
Beth
Look, I think we’ve all had a tough wedding. Actually, the wedding was beautiful. The reception got out of hand. Anyway, I say we go home, sleep it off, and have a family meeting in the morning.
Rick
Yeah, about going home, we can’t... ever.
All
What?!
Rick
Oh, these guys are looking for us now. Earth will be swarming with them.
Beth
Us?! Jerry... I want to go home!
Rick
Look, anyone that wants to go back to earth is free to go back to earth. But here’s what’s gonna happen. Aliens bureaucrats are gonna arrest you. They’re gonna put the intergalactic equivalent of [Burps] jumper cables under your nuts and or labia and hook them up to an alien car battery until you tell them where I am... which I guarantee you, you’re not gonna know, which I guarantee they won’t believe. So who’s homesick? By applause. [ Sobbing ] Ladies? Anybody?
Summer
What are we going to do? Where are we going to live?
Jerry
Take it easy. This is a blessing in disguise.
Rick
[Bleep] Earth. You realize our planet’s name means dirt, right? We’ll find a new world. Computer, how many planets in the milky way are at least 90% similar to earth?
[ Beeping ]
Computer
765 known planets.
Rick
How many of those are outside federal jurisdiction?
Computer
[ Beeping ] Three.
Rick
See? Our cup runneth over. Now, who wants to go shopping for a brand-new mother[Bleep] world?! All right! Look at this baby! Would you even know that wasn’t earth?
Morty
Yes, because there’s no Africa.
Rick
Pssh. White-people problems, Morty. Let’s go down and check her out. [ Thud, water splashing ] Oh. I thought it was further away. I uh... I guess this one’s a little small. All right, uh, maybe... maybe we should go check out the other two, huh? Okay, this one’s bigger. This looks nice.
Morty
Mom, dad, look! Strawberries on a cob! [ Munching ]
Jerry
Whoa! Hey, check this out! Flowers on a cob! [ Laughs ]
Rick
Huh. Strawberries and flowers on a cob, huh?
Jerry
That’s pretty cool.
Beth
Are those... Mountains on a cob?
[ Birds cawing ]
Rick
Oh, my God. Get in the ship, sweetie.
Beth
What?
Rock
Get in the god[Bleep] ship!! Everything’s on a cob!! The whole planet’s on a cob!! Go, go, go!! [ Engine turns over ] [ Burps ] All right, third time’s the charm. See what we got here.
Jerry
Seems good. And nothing on the cob. Didn’t know that was a necessity, but...
Rick
No, it’s nice. I think this might be it.
Morty
Wow! Hey, look, you guys. The sun’s rising.
Sun
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!!
Beth
Uh, dad, how long are the days on this planet?
Rick
Uh, computer, how long are the days on this planet?
[ Screaming continues ]
Computer
42 hours.
Rick
All right, well, those are the two choices ‘cause cob planet is off the table. Now let’s take a vote.
Alien Newscastor
Well, it’s official. The obscure planet known as earth, formerly the hiding place of interstellar terrorist and fugitive Rick Sanchez, has just become the 6,048th planet to join the galactic federation. The plucky little ball of water and dirt, which is where it gets its name, is dominated by seven billion primate-descended natives who love to eat spaghetti and pray to kangaroos.
Female Alien Newscastor
Spaghetti, kangaroos? I’ve got to check this place out.
[ Both laugh ]
Alien Newscastor
Well, you can. Contact the ministry of tourism for details. Up next, teenagers are calling it [ growls and squeals] And it’s not what you think.
Morty
What are you... what did you do that for?
Summer
Dramatic effect.
Rick
Good morning, family. Oh, do I smell bacon?
Beth
Yes, we discovered a species of tiny pig off the coast of new Australia about 30 yards east. Or 300 yards west. We’d offer you some, but we hunted it to extinction for breakfast.
Rick
Well, I thought I’d walk to the South pole and do a little bit of exploring. If you guys need me, just yell or throw something so hard that it goes around the world and hits me.
Jerry
[ Door shuts ] Okay, now that he’s gone, can we please talk about our situation?
Morty
Dad, you can’t talk about people behind their back. You know, it’s a small world.
Jerry
Please, he’s in the South pole! And we need to have a serious conversation.
[ Insects chirping ]
[ Thunder rumbles ]
[ Wind howling ]
Rick
South pole discovered, baby! Ohhhh! Oh [Bleep] an ice cave? [Bleep] Things just keep on getting better. Wow, it’s the planet’s core.
Jerry
I’m just saying, we keep acting like there’s only two options, but there’s not. So, yes, if we went back to earth, as long as Rick was out there, they’d want to interrogate us. But, and this is purely hypothetical, what if we turned your father in to the government?
Beth
Jerry, so help me God, if you ever bring this up again, no more bacon.
Jerry
There already is no more bacon! This world sucks!Our life sucks! Why are we doing this for someone that would never do anything for anyone but himself?
Morty
That’s not the point, dad! We love Rick... F-for the most part.
Summer
Yeah, you don’t love people in hopes of a reward, dad, you love them unconditionally.
Beth
That’s very good, kids. I’m proud of you.
Jerry
Okay, so let me get this straight. For the rest of your lives, no matter how much it hurts you, no matter how much it destroys our children’s futures, we’re gonna do whatever Rick wants, whenever he wants?
All
Yes.
Jerry
Why?!
Beth
Because I don’t want him to leave again, you dumb asshole!!
Rick
Hey. Uh... I was gonna hope over to the gloppydrop system, get some ice cream.
Morty
You... you want me to come with? I mean, don’t you need my brain waves for camouflage or something?
Rick
I’ll be okay. Bye, Morty.
Morty
Rick? You’re not leaving, right?
Rick
Yeah, I am. To get ice cream.
Morty
So, you’re coming back?
Rick
Morty, if you go to where there’s a bunch of ice cream and then you don’t come back, you haven’t actually gotten ice cream, you’ve just gone where ice cream is.
Morty
Rick, I can handle it if you go, but you’ll break mom’s heart. And I won’t forgive you for that.
Rick
Where’s the van, Morty?
Morty
It’s over the horizon in the driveway.

(Smith family is eating, Jerry checks his mail)
Jerry
: Steve, I just got a weird E-mail. Did you buy us airline tickets?
Uncle Steve
: Aw shoot, it was supposed to be a surprise! I wanted to thank you for letting me live here all this time, so I'm treating the family to a vacation!
Beth
: Steve, you're so sweet!
Morty
: Thanks Uncle Steve!
Summer
: Best uncle ever!
Uncle Steve
: Look out world, the Smith family is goin' to Paris!
Summer
:(Offscreen) Yeah! Awesome!
(Rick enters the room, and dumps some very familiar-looking rocks into the kitchen trash)
Jerry
: Rick, I don't like glowing rocks in the kitchen trash.
Rick
: Well I don't like your unemployed genes in my grandchildren, Jerry. But life is made of little concessions.
Jerry
: I, you know what, I-
Uncle Steve
: You're gonna land on your feet Jer. Some company out there's gonna think they're lucky stars they hired my little brother.
Rick
: Who the fuck are you?
Jerry
: My goofy brother Steve. He's been living here almost a year now, are you losing your mind?
Uncle Steve
: Hey someone's been spending too much time around glowing rocks am I right? (Everybody except Rick laughs, Rick shoots Steve in the head)
All except Rick: *unintelegable screaming*
Morty
: What the hell, Rick? What the hell?
Rick
: Everybody just relax for a second. There's no such thing as an "Uncle Steve". That is an alien parasite.
(Uncle Steve turns back into his true form and dies)
Jerry
: But I've known him my whole life!
Rick
: No you haven't Jerry. These telepathic little bastards, they embed themselves in memories they use those to multiply, spread out, and take over planets. It's disgusting.
Morty
: Steve wasn't real?
Rick
: He's a real piece of shit! This is a big one, someone probably tracked in last week on the bottom of their shoe or on a piece of alien fruit.
Summer
: Someone?
Rick
: Get off the high road Summer, we all got pink eye because you won't stop texting on the toilet.
Morty
: But Uncle Steve taught me how to ride a bike.
Rick
: No, "Steve" put that memory in your brain so he could live in your house, eat your food, and multiply. We could be infested with these things, so we gotta keep an eye out for any zany, wacky characters that pop up.
Mr. Poopybutthole
: Oh wee, whatever you want Rick, we're here to help!
Rick
: Thanks Mr. Poopybutthole. I always could count on you.
*theme song plays*
Rick
: Alright, there's six of us and that's it. Me, Morty, Jerry, Beth, Mr. Poopybutthole, and Summer.
Mr. Poopybutthole
: Maybe you got the first one in time Rick!
Rick
: Can't afford to chance it.
(Rick presses a button on his watch, all doors and windows in the house are sealed off by blast shields)
Beth
: Dad, why does our house have blast shields?
Rick
: Trust me Beth you don't wanna know how many answers that question has.
Mr. Poopybutthole
: Ooh, gosh, it feels claustrophobic! Reminds me of that time we all got stuck in the elevator together. Y-- remember that? After "the hulk" musical? (Flashback, Jerry grunting, muzak playing )
Beth
: Jerry, buttons don't work better if you hit them harder, and foam fists don't make you strong.
Jerry
: I know. Friends make you strong. I watched the same musical you did.
Rick
: Why couldn't I bring my portal gun? (Morty winces )
Morty
: Why did all the drinks have to be extra large? Oh, the hulk. I just got that.
Summer
: Just pee your pants. I did it the minute we got stuck. Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, shame me. At least when I'm disgusting, it's on purpose.
Mr. Poopybutthole
: Oh, y'all, we're gonna be fine. I've always been here for you guys, and I always will be. ( chuckles )
Nicky
: somebody call for repairs?
All
: Yay! Cousin Nicky!
Nicky
: It's me, cousin Nicky. I'm walkin' here! I mean, I'm not. I'm crouched in the elevator shaft, but hey, I'm walkin' here! ( laughter ) (Cut back to the present) It's true. We really do get into some crazy situations as a family, mostly when we're cooped up like this. Hey, maybe Mr. Poopypants is right. L-let's get some fresh air.
Morty
: Come on, cousin Nicky. You heard Rick. We have to stay quarantined until we know that there's no more of these things.
Nicky
: I hear you, Morty. Back in brooklyn, we got a sayin' -- "we're walkin' here!" ( laughter )
Jerry
: Nicky! (Rick shoots Nicky in the shoulder, and he reverts back into a parasite)
Nicky
: Oh! ( gasps ) ( groaning )
Morty
: What the...? Cousin Nicky was a parasite?!
Rick
: Six, Morty! There's supposed to be six of us! If there's seven, then that means somebody's not real.
Beth
: But how did you know it was Nicky?
Rick
: I guessed. That's why I aimed for his shoulder.
Beth
: So we can't trust any of our memories now? Nicky was the reason we found that old nazi submarine. Did that not even happen?
Jerry
: Well, of course it happened.
(Flashback, Morty, Rick, Jerry, Beth and Nicky are tied up, a Nazi stands before them)
Nazi
: Now that I possess the mighty staff of Rah-gubaba, the world will tremble before the fourth reich!
Morty
: This is the last time I ask you for help on my history final, Rick.
Nicky
: Hey, we got a word for nazis back in Brooklyn, pal.
Nazi
: I'm comfortable being called a nazi. You think there's some other word that will hurt my feelings? (Hits Nicky on the head) Yeah. Think before you talk shit. Rah-gubaba, help me kill america! (Mr. Beauregard knocks out the nazi)
All
: Mr. Beauregard!
Mr. Beauregard
: After due consideration, I have elected not to retire.
All
: Yeah! Oh, thank god!
Mr. Beauregard
: Now, I believe someone has a final exam to attend. Set a course for Morty's high school. (Return to the present) Perhaps I'm biased, but if that story never happened, then I wouldn't still be the family butler. ( chuckles ) dare to dream.
Rick
: Wait.
Summer
: And if Mr. Beauregard wasn't our butler, it's safe to say the family'd be in a hell of a lot of trouble. ( laughter )
Rick
: No! Don't flashback!
(Flashbacks, Jerry has his head stuck in the staircase railing)
Summer
: You're just gonna make more swelling.
Beth
: Don't worry, Jerry. Just relax. We called the fire department.
Jerry
: You know they won't come here anymore. ( grunting ) (Mr. Beauregard pours marmalade on Jerry, all gasp )
Mr. Beauregard
: Marmalade is served. (everybody cheers)
Frankenstein
: I guess I take back what I said about British cuisine. ( laughter )
(Rick, Summer, and Mr. Beauregard are having a pillow fight)
Rick
: Take that!
Sleepy Gary
: We're trying to sleep.
(Morty is in the living room with Beth, Jerry, and Sleepy Gary)
Morty
: I don't want to go to the dance alone.
Mr. Beauregard
(Off-screen): Then perhaps, you shouldn't.
(Mr. Beauregard appears, in a dress)
Beth
: Aww. Mr. Beauregard.
Mr. Beauregard
: Shall we, master Morty?
Morty
: We shall.
Beth
: Oh, wait, don't leave without letting photography raptor take a picture. ( raptor screeches ) ( camera shutter clicks ) ( cut back to the present, laughter )
Rick
: Everybody stop remembering! These parasites are like bed bugs, and every flashback is another mattress. Look! There's only supposed to be six people in this house.
????
But there's always been 10.
Rick
: No! Uh, the fact that I wrote this number down means that there's four parasites.
Frankenstein
: You sure about that, Rick?
Mr. Beauregard
: Begging your pardon, master Rick, but I seem to recall a great deal of confusion surrounding that number.
Rick
: All right, there's six of us, ( belches ) and that's it. Me, Morty, Jerry, Beth, Mr. Poopybutthole, Frankenstein, Sleepy Gary, Photography raptor, Mr. Beauregard, and Summer.
Beth
: Uh, dad, that's like 10 people.
Rick
: 6, 10, what's the difference? I just love the number 6 for no reason! Where's my pencil at?
Pencilvester
: Right here, Rick! Use me!
Rick
: Oh, thanks, Pencilvester! (writes the number 6 again) Yeah,I-I g-- I guess that is what happened, but I-I don't get why I would do that.
Pencilvester
: Everybody makes mistakes, Rick. Why do you think I have one of these? ( laughter, camera shutter clicks )
Beth
: That's it. Photos. Hard evidence. (Beth scrolls through photos, becomes suspicious) You're not in any of my photos, Mr. Poopybutthole.
Mr. Poopybutthole
: Well, what do you know about this? You're not in any of mine.
Summer
: All I have are pictures of me and my friends from school. (everybody else stares at Summer) What? What teenage girl has pictures of her family? It's not like we're mormon or dying.
Frankenstein
: I will admit it's suspicious that Summer's only friend is a magic ballerina lamb that we've never seen.
(Flashback)
Tinkles
: Summer!
Summer
: Tinkles! It's past my bedtime.

Summer
: Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
Sleepy Gary
: Summer, we're trying to sleep.
Summer
: It was Tinkles! Tinkes?
(Cut back to the present)
Rick
: That is su-- [belches] -- suspicious. We're always hearing about this Tinkles character, but we never get to –
Tinkles
: Hi, everybody. I'm Tinkles, and these are my friends. ( all sigh )
Summer
: See, everyone? Tinkles is real. That means so am I.
(Everyone except Rick apologizes to Summer)
Frankenstein
: I was on the wrong side of the pitchfork on this one.
Jerry
: Okay, look, we shouldn't need evidence or logic to know who's family and who isn't. I know who the Smiths are. I've known Beth since high school. And her husband, Sleepy Gary, is hands down my absolute best friend.
Sleepy Gary
: Thanks, Jerry. Beyond that, no offense to any of you, but all bets are off.
Rick
: Look, I'm not used to being this unsure for this long. I'm just gonna aim for shoulders starting with the weird girl. (Tries to shoot Summer)
Summer
: Aah! Grandpa Rick!
Rick
: Hold still, "Summer."
Sleepy Gary
: Rick, that is my daughter.
Rick
: Oh, yeah? Well, what if you just think that, Sleepy Gary? I've known you for 15 years. Don't make me hurt you.
Sleepy Gary
: Rick, these are our family and friends, the people we barbecue with. Have you forgotten the barbecue?
Rick
: Wait, why would you want me to -- You're one of them, aren't you?
Hamurai
: Rick, you love those barbecues, Rick. You love them. Hai!
Amish Cyborg
: Remember it, Rick?
Rick
: Shut up, Hamurai! Shut up, Amish Cyborg! What is this? '90s Conan?
All
: Remember the barbecue. Remember the barbecue. Remember the barbecue.
( chatter )
Rick
: You know what, Pencilvester? It took me my whole life to realize it, but I love barbecuing.
Pencilvester
: You're good at it, Rick.
Rick
: Watch me, baby. I'm like tom cruise from, um, "cuisine" or w-whatever that movie's called where he makes drinks. Yeah, check me out. I'm like tom cruise from "cuisine." ( chuckles ) yeah. Is that what it's called? "cuisine"?
Pencilvester
: Wow! Hey, everybody. Let's give it up for the grill master, Rick! Rick! Rick! Rick! ( all chanting "Rick" )
Rick
: Wait. (cut back to the present, breathing heavily ) Noooooo! Shoot. Now look. It's like a "Where's Waldo?" page. Can you find me? Check out all these zany characters. We'll be right back after these messages.
Sleepy Gary
: I think you should put down the gun and we should get you to a doctor. What do you say we take down these blast shields?
All
: Yeah.
Rick
: Can't do that, Sleepy Gary. All right, everybody listen to me. I don't know if any of you guys are real, but this house has been infested with fake loved ones that spread through fake memories, and our planet will be destroyed if they get out. ( grunts )
Pencilvester
: But Rick, even you have to admit you do tend to overreact to stuff.
(Flashback)
Rick
: You guys, we got to hurry. I just got back from Walmart. They're selling Nintendo 3ds systems for $149.99 on sale, plus every time you buy one, you get a $50 gift card. Brings the total price down to $110 after tax. Now, listen, we can flip those sons of bitches for 230 bucks apiece easy! They're all limited-edition "Zelda" ones. Hurry! Hurry! Come with me! We can be rich, and we also all get to keep one and we can play nintendo games! Nintendo, give me free stuff.
(Cut back to the present)
Rick
: Okay, yes, I definitely remember doing that, but also, I would never do that
Pencilvester
: Don't overreact, Rick.
Jerry
: Sleepy Gary, a word?
Sleepy Gary
: Sure, Jerry. Rick, keep a level head, okay? 'Cause I'll tell you a secret about Frankenstein -- He's actually Frankenstein's monster.
(Rick looks at Frankenstein, Frankenstein pounds his fist)
Jerry
: Sleepy Gary, m-my head is filled with memories of our friendship. I'm convinced that you're Beth's husband and I'm your friend, but if those memories can't be trusted, then...
Sleepy Gary
: Jerry, just say it.
Jerry
: Sleepy Gary, how do we know I'm real?
Sleepy Gary
: Jesus, Jerry. No, you're real. Hey, look at me. Now, I don't know which way is up out there, but I know us, and you're real, Jerry. Remember our vacation?
(flashback)
Sleepy Gary
: They're filming that new "Star Wars" movie down the coast. Should we check it out?
Jerry
: Sure. Why not? (Gary drinks, Jerry drops his bottle, both he and Gary reach for it)
Sleepy Gary
: Maybe we'll see Chewbacca.
Jerry
: I'd like that. ( Kissing ) What are we doing?
(Cut back to the present)
Sleepy Gary
: I don't give a damn what else happens out there. You and I are going to survive this.
Jerry
: Okay. Hey, we agreed. Never in the house.
(Transit to the living room, Rick is pointing the gun at random people)
Frankenstein
: That's a cool watch there, Rick. Can I check it out?
Rick
: Uh, no thank -- ( grunts ) Okay. Trying to figure out how to lower the blast shields, huh? Anybody here think it's suspicious that a lot of people in here can't wait to get out of here?
Frankenstein
: Ah, you're paranoid, Rick. You've been paranoid since 'nam.
(Flashback)
Rick
: So, what are you gonna do when you rotate back to the world, Frankenstein?
Frankenstein
: Shi-i-i-i-t. I'mma bust a -- ( cut back to the present, Rick grunts )
Rick
: No! Get out of my head, parasite! No! Drop it. Give me the gun, Frankenstein! ( indistinct shouting ) Give it back!
All
: Yeah! ( applause ) Frankenstein!
Rick
: ( breathing heavily ) Is anyone here even real? Am I the only real person on earth?!
Reverse Giraffe
: Maybe. Or maybe, just maybe, we're all real. You know me. I'm reverse giraffe. I have a short neck and legs. I went to college with Hamurai.
Hamurai
: Hai!
Reverse Giraffe
: I saved Ghost In A Jar's life in Vietnam.
Ghost in a Jar
: Boo rah!
Reverse Giraffe
: And Beth, how many times have I been a shoulder for you to cry on?
Beth
: ( sighs ) Too many.
Reverse Giraffe
: Okay, so maybe we're just all fake.
Mrs. Refrigerator
: That don't make no sense!
Reverse Giraffe
: Or maybe, there's only one deceiver here -- The person that keeps telling us the path to salvation is being held prisoner and mistrusting each other.
Rick
: Hey, don't blame me! I tried to shoot Summer 10 minutes ago!
Reverse Giraffe
: I know we all have beloved memories of Rick, but are we really supposed to believe that a mad scientist inventor with a flying car just showed up on our doorstep after being gone for years?
Morty
: Yeah, you know, he does have a lot of really weird, made-up sounding catchphrases.
(Flashback)
Rick
: Wubba lubba dub dub! Ricky ticky tavi, beyotch! And that's the wa-a-a-a-y the news goes. Hit the sack, jack. Uh-oh! Somersault jump. Aids! And that's why I always say shum shum shlippedy dop! Grassss tastes bad-ah. No jumpin' in the sewer. Burger time! Rubber baby baby bunkers! Lick, lick, lick my balls! ( laughs ) yeah! Say that all the time.
(cut back to the present)
All
: ( muttering ) That's a fake-ass catchphrase right there.
Beth
: And don't forget his incredibly vague back story.
Rick
: Beth, I'm your father!
Beth
: Oh, are you, dad? Are you?
Morty
: Rick, if you want to prove you're real, just do what any of the rest of us would do and -- and -- and open the blast shields and let us the hell out of here!
Rick
: Why don't you make me, implausibly naive pubescent boy with an old Jewish comedy writer's name?
(Everybody is surprised)
Mrs. Refrigerator
: In your face!
Morty
: Give me the gun. (Looks at everyone else) I'm not doing this in front of Pencilvester. Bring him to the garage. ( all cheering ) All right, you listen to me, you son of a bitch parasite scum. We could either do this the easy way or the hard way. You know, y-y-y-- do you want to live? Then open the blast shield doors.
Rick
: Shut up, Morty, you brainwashed, little turd that might not even be real because I'm brainwashed, too.
Morty
: You know, Rick, this isn't easy for us. You know, w-we all remember you as a friend.
Rick
: Oh, oh, oh, really? Well, I remember you as a whiny, little piece of shit, Morty!
Morty
: Oh -- oh, yeah?
Rick
: Yeah! I've got about a thousand memories of your dumb, little ass and about six of them are pleasant. The rest is annoying garbage. So why don't you do us both a favor and pull the trigger? Do it! Do it, mother[bleep] Pull the [bleep] trigger!
(Morty shoots Baby Wizard, Baby Wizard screeches )
Duck with Muscles
: Oh, wow. Baby Wizard was a parasite? He set me up with my wife.
(Morty shoots the duck, parasite screeches )
Rick
: What the hell?
Morty
: I figured it out, Rick! The parasites can only create pleasant memories. I know you're real because I have a ton of bad memories with you!
(Flashbacks of times where Rick left Morty in depair) ♪ these memories that we have ♪ ♪ these memories that we cherish ♪ ♪ I wish that we... can go back... to that time ♪ ♪ ooh, ooh, ooh ♪
(Cut back to the present)
Rick
: Holy crap, Morty, you're right.
Morty
: Is -- is -- isn't that what you were trying to make me understand by yelling at me?
Rick
: Well, yeah, duh-doy. T-took you long enough. (Rick turns the dial on the washing machine, the wall draws back to reveal a set of guns)
Rick
: Now let's go, Morty. We got a lot of friends and family to exterminate. ( grunts )
(Rick shoots a parasite, everybody else screams )
Morty
: Everybody remain calm! This is gonna take some explaining.
Rick
: We need to kill everyone that we can only remember fondly. Who's got a bad memory about Mrs. Refrigerator?
Mrs. Refrigerator
: I-I-I-I -- everyone has bad memories of me. You remember that one time? (flashback, Beth, Jerry, Mrs. Refrigerator and a lot of other people on a roller coaster, screaming, cut back to the present) Ooh, man, we couldn't stop screaming.
Beth
: Uh, roller coasters aren't bad, Mrs. Refrigerator. They're thrilling. And you've been a perfect companion to me my entire life.
Mrs. Refrigerator
: The jig is up! ( whimpering ) get me out of here. Get me out of here! Aah! ( screeching ) ( all gasping ) Oh [bleep]
Rick
: Everybody back! If you're not a parasite, you have nothing to fear. What about Summer?
Summer
: Why am I always your go-to?
(Flashback, Morty is hosing the backyard, Summer grunts and kicks him in the crotch, Morty whimpers )
Summer
: Never go in my room again.
Morty
: I didn't! (Cut back to the present) She's real. She's my bitch of a sister.
Summer
: Nice. (Flashback) Mom, are you driving me to --
Beth
: Hmm? Yeah, yeah, yes. What time?
Summer
: Oh, my god. Are you drunk?
Beth
: ( belches ) * slurring * What're you, my life coach?
Summer
: Your what? Oh! God! Oh. Oh, my gosh. Oh! God! Mom!
Beth
: Sweetheart, are you okay? I didn't mean to --
Summer
: I'm gonna have a bruise! It's picture day!
Beth
: It's not, don't overreact. I can clean it up.
Summer
: ( sobs ) I want the police to take me!
(Cut back to the present)
Summer
: Morty, give a gun to the lady that got pregnant with me too early and constantly makes it our problem.
Beth
: Thank you, sweetie.
Cross Teddy Bear
: Beth, Beth, please!
Beth
: I thought it was too good to be true that we'd have compatible kidneys. (shoots the bear, parasite screeches ) ( guns cock ) ( screaming ) ( blasting ) ( screeching )
Rick
: (Corners Pencilvester) Come on, man. Haven't we ever had an uncomfortable silence or an awkward fart on a road trip? Come on, Pencilvester. Give me anything.
Pencilvester
: Rick, I'm Pencilvester. Listen to that name. You can't kill me.
Rick
: You're right. (To Morty) Kill Pencilvester.
(Morty shoots Pencilvester, parasite screeches ) (Summer shoots Frankenstein, parasite screeches ) (Summer shooting, parasites screeching )
Tinkles
: Summer, I've always loved you!
Summer
: Yep. (Shoots Tinkles, parasite screeches ) ( all gasp, Summer shoots ) ( more screeching ) (Morty shouts)
(Flashback, Summer walks into the kitchen and turns on the light, and sees Morty masturbating)
Summer
: Oh, my god!
Morty
: I-I-I thought you went to a concert!
Summer
: We forgot the tickets! Why in the kitchen?!
Morty
: I do it everywhere! Stop shaming me!
Summer
: You're not the victim here!
Morty
: I hate you, and I was thinking about your friend Grace!
Summer
: Aaaaaah! (cut back to the present, more shooting, parasites screeching )
Mr. Beauregard
: Ah. Master Rick. Remember when you weren't going to shoot me? (Rick shoots Mr. Beauregard, parasite screeches )
Rick
: I guess I did the butler! Ha ha! Does -- d-does that scan?
Ghost in a Jar
: Oh, I-I get it. It's a play on "the butler did it."
Rick
: Thanks, ghost in a jar. You always were good at pointing out potentially obscure comedy. (shoots ghost in a jar, parasite screeches ) ( screeches )
Jerry
: You got to hide me, Sleepy Gary.
Sleepy Gary
: Don't worry. I have a plan. If we can get to my boat, there's a -- (Beth shoots Sleepy Gary, Gary slowly turns back into a parasite, screeches )
Jerry
: No. No! Send me to Gary. I want to be with Gary. (Flashback, Jerry is running away from a hobo)
Beth
: Whoa. What the hell?
Jerry
: Look out for that homeless guy!
Beth
: Open the door! Open the door! Open the door!
Jerry
: There isn't time! Just run!
Beth
: ( grunts ) Get out here and help me!
Jerry
: They say you shouldn't do that! Just run!
(Cut back to the present)
Beth
: Ugh. Sorry, Jerry. You're real.
Jerry
: ( crying ) I'm a parasite!
Beth
: Yeah, but you're real.
Jerry
: (tries to kiss Beth)
Beth
: Uh, uh, I need time to forget about Sleepy Gary.
Jerry
: Me, too. ( Rick opens the blast shields )
Rick
: From now on, let's all be careful to wash our hands when we get back from outer space. That goes for everyone.
Jerry
: This is depressing. We killed every good person in the house. We're what's left? What a family.
Rick
: At least we're real, Jerry. We're real. Ricky ticky tavi!
Mr. Poopybutthole
: Ooh, whee! Amen to that. Now, this little poopypants is hungry. Will somebody pass me a pork chop? ( chomping )
Mr. Poopybutthole
: Huh. I-is -- is something wrong, Beth? (Beth shoots Mr. Poopybutthole) Ow! ( screams ) oh, my god!
Rick
: No, Beth! Oh [bleep]
Beth
: Wait, but I --
Mr. Poopybutthole
: Oh, Beth! Why?!
Jerry
: I need an ambulance! There's been a shooting. My wife shot... Uh, my -- my wife shot a long-time family friend.
Mr. Poopybutthole
: Why?
Summer
: Oh, my god, oh, my god, oh, my god, Mr. Poopybutthole.
Beth
: I-I thought --
Morty
: Keep breathing!
Mr. Poopybutthole
: Oh, god. What's happening?
Morty
: Look at me! Look at me! Don't -- don't fall asleep!
Mr. Poopybutthole
: Is -- is this what bleeding to death is? Oh, whee. Is this how I die?
Rick
: Oh, geez! Oh, my god!
Mr. Poopybutthole
: Why would you do this? Beth. It's not supposed to hurt. I-I thought... ( siren wails ) Ooh, whee.
(Post-Credits scene)
Beth
: Oh, he -- he's looking a lot better.
Rick
: Listen, Beth, don't torture yourself. I made a similar mistake years ago, but, you know, on a planetary scale.
Beth
: Is, um, is he mad at me?
Rick
: He's not pressing charges. I mean, that's got to be the "you shot me" equivalent of not being mad.
(Doctor steps out of the room)
Beth
: Can he have visitors?
Doctor
: He'd like to be alone. He told me to tell you he's sorry you didn't have bad memories of him? If you love him, you should leave. ( door closes )
(Smith family walks out of the hospital)
Rick
: (Smiles) And that's the wa-a-a-a-y the news goes.

Rick
: Anyway, that's how I escaped from space prison! Oh, scary place.
Morty
: Wow, Rick! That's -- That's one -- one heck of a story. I sure do wish I could have been there to see it happen.
Rick
: Oh, come on. Who wants to watch a mad scientist use handmade sci-fi tools to take out highly trained alien guards when we can sit here and be a family at Shoney's?
Beth
: Dad, it's great to have you back, no matter where we are, but wouldn't you like to go home?
Rick
: Emotionally speaking, honey, Shoney's is my home.
Jerry
: Yeah, but you just got out of prison. I mean, how much of a step up from that is --
Rick
: Jerry, get out of the booth, take all your clothes off, and fold yourself 12 times.
Jerry
: You got it. [ Grunting ]
Rick
: Six folds, huh? W-W-What, have you guys got me in a Series 9000? You cheap insect [bleep] didn't think I was worth your best equipment?
Cornvelious Daniel
: [ Chuckles ] Man, I told the money bugs. I said, "You know who this guy is, right? You want me to get intel out of the smartest mammal in the galaxy, you better give me a decent brainalyzer.
Rick
: Well, you might as well order some pancakes, because I don't see the need to leave this part of my brain.
Cornvelious Daniel
: Oh, I think you do. Eventually, you're either gonna relax your cerebellum.
Rick
: Shoney's.
Cornvelious Daniel
: Or the Series 9000 is going to turn it into mush.
[ Farts ]
Rick
: Relaxed enough? [ Chuckles ]
Cornvelious Daniel
: I admire you, Rick--
[ Farts ]
Rick

Gromflomite Worker

Transition to Smith residence
Jerry
: [ Sighs contently ] I tell ya, the Galactic Federation taking over Earth -- best thing that's ever happened to this family. I just got my sixth promotion this week, and I still don't know what I do.
Summer
: Who cares how high they promote you? Everyone just gets paid in pills.
Jerry
: Well, when you're not sure what you do for a living, you can make your own rules.
Beth
: Summer, show your father some respect. He's pulling down a six-chewable figure income.
[ Bottle shatters ]
Conroy
: I'll get that in a moment. How are everyone's pills? Oh, Morty, you've hardly touched your pills.
Morty
: I kind of had big pills for lunch, and I [muffled] wasn't gonna eat any more pills. [ Gulps ] Thank you, Conroy.
Jerry
: You spoil us, Conroy.
Summer
: [Slams hands on table] Grandpa Rick wouldn't put up with this!
Beth
: [Bangs fist on table] Stop saying his name! He abandoned us.
Jerry
: [Bangs fist on table] Willem Dafoe! Th-That's the guy I couldn't think of this morning.
Beth
: Don't make my mistake, Summer. Don't deify the people that leave you. You'll end up a horse surgeon in a world controlled by aliens whose medicine keeps horses [ Sobs ] healthy forever. [ Sniffles ] Horses live longer than tortoises now. Is that what you want for yourself?
Summer
: Maybe I just want you to care if I run away yelling!
Conroy
: Who saved room for pill brûlée?
Jerry
: Ooh! [ Chuckles ]
Transition to Shoney's
Cornvelious Daniel
: I can see why you chose this family-friendly restaurant to represent your cerebellum. So safe, so comfortable, so Shoney's. But admit it, Rick -- you're going crazy cooped up in here. Let's go visit some memories.
Rick
: Oh, any particular ones? You want to see my first boner, or should we go straight to the moment I discovered interdimensional travel?
Cornvelious Daniel
: [ Squeals ]
Rick
:' Ooh, your little flappy doodles are twitching. Does that mean you're aroused, or did you just get a signal that one of your buddies found a grape?
Cornvelious Daniel
: It's arousal. Yes, I'd like very much to visit the memory of you inventing your portal gun.
Rick
: Yeah, well, tough titties.
[ Rumbling ]
Cornvelious Daniel
: There's no tougher titty than a psychotic break, Rick.
Rick
: Well, that depends on who breaks first -- me or the titty.
Cornvelious Daniel
: Someone special you remember? Is that your memory of her out there -- between where you were on 9/11 and your favorite sports blooper?
[ Whooshing ]
Cornvelious Daniel
: If we stay here, you'll die, along with all your memories. If you take me where I want to go she'll be there, too, won't she?
Rick
: The day I invented the portal gun is the day I lost her.
Cornvelious Daniel
: Oh, that sounds cool. I can get what I want and you can say goodbye.
Rick
: [ Sighs ] Fine, but I'm driving.
9/11 Memory Rick
: --as an excuse to strip away our freedom!
Transition to the Garage
Morty
: Huh? What are you -- What are you doing?
Summer
: Grandpa Rick must have some secret lab, right? With, like, laser guns and jets packs and a space tank! And we can go break him out of prison! Look at these dead flies! Maybe if we arrange them in a certain order, it plays a hologram or it opens a secret door.
Morty
: Summer, you're freaking me out. I know things have changed a lot, and I know you miss Rick, but getting him back wouldn't make things better. And, you know, we're not doing so bad.
Summer
: We're miserable, Morty! There's a mandatory curfew, their weird calendar made me 47, and they weaponized the Eiffel Tower!
Morty
: Hey, I like being 35. I-I can rent a car now.
Summer
: Because you suck! You've been keeping your lip zipped about it since Grandpa got arrested, but the fact is, you're freaking stoked to bail on him.
Morty
: He bails on everybody! He bailed on Mom when she was a kid! He -- He bailed on tiny planet! And in case I never made this clear to you, Summer, he bailed on you. He left you to rot in a world that he ruined because he doesn't care! Because nobody's special to him, Summer, not even himself. So, if you really want your grandpa back, grab a shovel. The one that won't let you down is buried in your backyard!
Summer
: You're right!
Morty
: What?! No, I'm not right. I-I was using ghoulish overkill! Ghoulish overkill, Summer!
[ Summer grunting ]
[ Thunder crashes ]
Morty
: Oh, God! Oh, God! Whoa, whoa!
[ Thunder crashes ]
Transition into Rick's mind
Cornvelious Daniel
: Where are we going?
Rick
: To the day it all began and ended. The moment that changed everything.
McDonald's Drive-thru speaker
: Welcome to McDonald's. Can I take your order?
Rick
: Yeah, I'd like to get a 10-piece McNugget and a bunch of the Szechuan sauce. Like, as much as you're allowed to give me. In 1998, they had this promotion for the Disney film "Mulan," where they -- where they -- they created a new sauce for the McNuggets called Szechuan sauce, and it's delicious! And then they got rid of it, and now it's gone. This is the only place we're gonna be able to try it, is in my memory.
Cornvelious Daniel
: Rick, you're doing this bit while your brain is melting.
Rick
: Okay. All right, all right.
Cornvelious Daniel
: Is that--
Rick
: Me. I used to wear blue pants.
[ Zapping ]
Cornvelious Daniel
: When'd you make the leap to interdimensional travel?
Rick
: I didn't. I did.
[ Whooshing ]
Alternate Rick
: Well, well, well. If it isn't us. You know the worst part about inventing teleportation? Suddenly, you're able to travel the whole galaxy, and the first thing you learn is, you're the last guy to invent teleportation. Fortunately, you're about to invent something much more powerful.
Cornvelious Daniel
: [ Squeals ]
Young Rick
: What?
Transition to Smith backyard
[ Thunder crashes ]
Morty
: Summer, nobody has to know about that. We could put it right back and pretend we never saw it, like we did with Dad's mannequin leg.
Summer
: Fine, stay here. I'll rescue Grandpa myself.
Morty
: And how are you gonna do that?
Summer
: I don't know yet. I'll make it up as I go. That's what Grandpa Rick does. That's what heroes do.
Morty
: Y-You want to see what a hero Rick is? I-I'll bring you somewhere, Summer. Um-
Conroy
: My goodness, children. [ Stern robotic voice ] Relinquish the illegal technology to the nearest Federation representative. [ Normal voice ] And then we'll all play Balderdash.
[ Both whimper, scream ]
[ Whooshing ]
[ Screaming ]
[ Farting ]
[ Grunts ]
Conroy
: Oh, my goodness! Oh, oh! My goo-- [ Crackling ]
Summer (C-137)
: Oh, my God. I have that exact same top.
Summer
: What is this place? And what's with "Hunger Games" Summer?
Morty
: That's my sister. This used to be my home.
Transition to Rick's mind
Alternate Rick
: Imagine doing anything you want, then hopping to a timeline where you never did it. Imagine going anywhere, anytime, with nobody able to stop you.
Young Rick
: Sounds lonely.
Alternate Rick
: Lonely? Dude, you have yourself -- your infinite selves. It's a nonstop party where all the guests are the only person we like. You think it's cool being the smartest man on Earth, but once we give you this technology, you become the smartest thing in every conceivable universe -- the Infinite Rick, a god.
Young Rick
: Eh, pass.
Alternate Rick
: Excuse me? Bro, Ricks don't pass on this. Who do you think you are?
Young Rick
: A different kind of Rick, I guess.
Alternate Rick
: Well, we'll see how long that lasts.
[ Whooshing ]
Diane
: I heard sci-fi noises. Did you make a breakthrough?
Young Rick
: Sort of. I just took a long look at myself, and I don't think this science thing is gonna pay off.
Diane
: Well, why don't I get Beth and we'll go out for ice cream?
Young Rick
: That, Dianne, is the last great idea that will ever be had in this garage.
Transition to Smith residence (C-137)
[ Munching loudly ]
Summer
: Good roasted Cronenberg, I assume. Mom, you're looking feral. I can't believe Rick did this.
Morty
: These are the parts of Rick's adventures you don't get to see -- the parts he leaves behind. All right, it's been great, guys. I really only wanted to stop by here for a quick "I told ya so." So, uh--
Jerry (C-137)
: Looking for this?
Morty
: What are you doing with that?!
Jerry (C-137)
: It stinks of Rick. [ Grunts ]
Morty
: No! Why?! Why would you do that?! W-W-What is the matter with you people?!
Jerry (C-137)
: You can never leave. She cannot remain.
Jerry (C-137)
: She stinks of Rick.
Portal opens, Ricks exits through it
[ All scream ]
Morty
: Hold your fire! Hold your fire! I'm Morty C-137.
Ricks look at each other
Guard Rick
: We detected a compromised portal gun. Where is your Rick?
Summer
: He's in prison.
Morty
: Summer.
Summer
: He got captured by the Federation and we were going to rescue him.
Guard Rick
: Very troubling. We can't risk Citadel secrets falling into the Federation's hands. We'll dispatch SEAL Team Ricks immediately to break into the prison holding C-137.
Summer
: Boo-yah!
Guard Rick
: Aand assassinate him.
Summer
: Boo-nah?
Transition to Rick's mind

Young Rick
: Nooooooo!
Ball explodes, killing Diane and young Beth
Cornvelious Daniel
: Wow. This sauce is [bleep] amazing. You said it was promoting a movie? [ Slurping ]
Young Rick
: Carry the three, add a two. I got it. I [bleep] got it.
Young Rick opens portal
Cornvelious Daniel
: Whoa. I-Is that it, the portal gun?
Rick
: Yeah. That's the three lines of math that separates my life as a man from my life as an unfeeling ghost.

: Holy shit, yes! Yes, we got it!
Cornvelious Daniel
: Yeah! Thanks, Rick. I'll try to remember to shut off the brainalyzer. Actually, I think it shuts off automatically once your brain is liquid. Don't know, don't care. Pull me out. [ Beat ] Hey, pull me out! Can you hear me?
Rick
: Nope, they cannot.
Cornvelious Daniel
: Why not?
Rick
: Because the code you just uploaded wasn't actually my portal-gun formula, it was a virus giving me full control over the brainalyzer.
Cornvelious Daniel
: What are you talking about? This is a memory. Y-You can't alter details of a memory.
Rick
: True, but you can alter anything you want about a totally fabricated origin story.
World around them turns into Shoney's
Cornvelious Daniel
: It's a trap! Abort! I'm still in his Shoney's! Repeat -- we never left his Shoney's!
Rick
: Mission accomplished, boys. Pull me out.
Gromflomite Worker
: Roger that.
Rick
: Okay, have fun in what's left of my brain. I'm gonna transfer to yours. Oh, there's not enough room for all my genius, so I'm leaving you with my fear of wicker furniture, my desire to play the trumpet, my tentative plans to purchase a hat, and six years of improv workshops. Comedy comes in threes.
Cornvelious Daniel
: It's a trap! Abort! We never left his -- [ Farts ] [ Rick laughs ] No!
Rick exits the machine in Cornvelious Daniel's body
Cornvelious Daniel
: Another day, another dollar. Am I right great insect creature or whaaat?!
Gromflomite Captain
: Congratulations, Agent. You'll be highly commended for this.
Cornvelious Daniel
: Always wait for permission to [burps] feel accomplishment. That's my motto.
Gromflomite Captain
: One thing still perplexes me -- why would Rick Sanchez turn himself in?
Cornvelious Daniel
: Well, I'm just a dumb-ass bug, but it's possible Rick knew he'd be interrogated at this facility, where we not only keep our most wanted, but our most sensitive data. Anyone here with level-nine access could [burps] I don't know, collapse a government. I'm just gonna go take a dump. Is it cool if I use the level-nine bathroom? W-W-What's the level-nine master access code again?
Gromflomite Worker
: Oh, that's easy. 8-3--
SEAL Team Rick leader
: Yeah! SEAL Team Rick's in the house!
[ Screaming ]
Rick(D-99)
: Hi, Rick. Bye, Rick.
Rick transfers his mind into D-99
SEAL Team Rick leader
: D-99, y-you okay?
[ Grunting ]
Rick(D-99)
: I'm bummed I didn't get to give that insect dick a test-drive.
Braided Rick
: Wait, wait, wait, wait! T-The Council of Ricks sent us. We have your Morty and Summer. They're prisoners on the Citadel.
Rick(D-99)
: Great!
Braided Rick
: [ Grunts ]
Speaker system
: Security breach in room 6755.
Rick(D-99)
: Lovely. Not only is my plan screwed up, I also forgot how to improvise.
Speaker system
: All security people approach.
Rick(D-99)
: [ Grunts ]
Speaker system
: Security breach.
Transition to Citadel of Ricks
Summer
: A city of Grandpas?
Morty
: It's the Citadel of Ricks. All the different Ricks from all the different realities got together to hide here from the government.
Summer
: But if every Rick hates the government, why would they hate Grandpa?
Morty
: Because Ricks hate themselves the most. And our Rick is the most himself.
Guard Rick
: Not anymore, homey. SEAL Team Ricks turned his unibrow into two brows -- with a bullet. [ Laughter ] Your Rick's dead! Your Rick's dead!
Transition to Citadel communications center
Worker Rick
: Sir, Rick D-99 is returning from the mission alone. Apparently, SEAL Team Ricks suffered heavy casualties.
Commander in Chief Rick
: Bring him in.
Worker Rick
: He says he'll only talk to a Rick with higher clearance.
Commander in Chief Rick
: La-di-da. Give me that. D-99, this is the commander in chief of the Citadel's militia.
Rick(D-99)
: Go[burps] -- good enough.
Rick transfers his mind into Commander in Chief Rick
Commander in Chief Rick
: He's a spy. Blow him up. I'm gonna go take a shit.
Transition to room of Council of Ricks
Riq IV
: Operating an unregistered portal gun, radicalizing a Summer, conspiring with a traitorous Rick. How do you plead?
Morty
: How is this a fair trial? O-Our lawyer is a Morty.
Riq IV
: It's not fair, you have no rights, and he's not a lawyer. We just keep him here because he's fun. Look at him go.
"Lawyer" Morty
: [ Laughs ] Ha ha, yeah!
Riq IV
: We'll be lenient if you renounce your Rick. What say you, Summer?
Summer
: I say [bleep] you! My grandpa was my hero. You killed him because you were jealous of him. That's pretty obvious from the haircuts. So do what you want to me, but let my brother go. He already renounced Rick.
Riq IV
: Morty?
"Lawyer" Morty
: [ Whispers indistinctly ]
Morty
: What? N-No, I don't want to see your Pog collection. I don't renounce Rick, and I never have. I was just trying to protect my sister. I wanted you to have a normal life. That's something you can't have when Rick shows up. Everything real turns fake. Everything right is wrong. All you know is that you know nothing and he knows everything. And, well -- well, he's not a villain, Summer, but he shouldn't be your hero. He's more like a demon or a super [bleep]up god.
Riq IV
: Let's not suck the ghost of his [bleep] too hard. He was a terrorist, and now he's dead.
Morty
: Oh, yeah? If you think my Rick's dead, he's alive. And if you think you're safe, he's coming for you!
Council of Ricks
: [ All grumbling ]
Commander in Chief Rick
:[ Whistling ]
Teleportation Worker Rick
: Hey, whoa, whoa! What are you doing in here? This area's for teleporting the entire Citadel to somewhere else using only buttons and dials.
Commander in Chief Rick
: Yeah, well, it's a bad idea to have it designed that way then, isn't it?
[ Whirring ]
[ Screaming ]
Teleporter Worker Rick
: What the [bleep] We just teleported into a galactic federal prison.
Commander in Chief Rick
: I'm gonna go take a shit.
[ Alarm blaring ]
"Lawyer" Morty
: Order in the court! Whoa! What the hell?! Oh, my God!
Kidnapped Morty
: [ Screaming ]
Random Rick
: Wait, wait, wait, wait! No, no, no!
Hammerhead Morty
: Whoa! [ Screaming ] Whoa!
Quantum Rick
: The Citadel's been teleported to [burps] Federation space. It's doomed. This has to be C-137, you guys. What are we gonna do?! You know he's coming for us.
Riq IV
: All right, calm down! We have his Summer as a hostage. Obviously, I get her. You guys play Rick, Laser, Scissors for the Morty.
Zeta Alpha Rick
: W-W-What the hell is that?
Quantum Rick
: Payback.
Council of Ricks
: [ Screaming ]
Summer
: Grandpa Rick!
Quantum Rick
: rips off his uniform and shakes his hair to standard Rick hair, becoming Rick
Rick
: Duh!
Summer
: You're alive!
Morty
: Rick!
Rick
: Morty, take this. You're gonna need it later.
Ricktiminus Sancheziminius
: Hold on, hold on. Whoa!
Riq IV
: That's enough, Rick.
Rick
: What -- What's this supposed to accomplish? We have infinite grandkids. You're trying to use Disney bucks at a Caesar's Palace here.
Summer
: That's a bluff. He's bluffing, sir. He loves me.
Riq IV
: You're a rogue Rick -- irrational, passionate. You love your grandkids. You came to rescue them.
Rick
: I came to kill you, bro. That's not even my original Summer.
Summer
: Oh, my God. He's not bluffing. He's not bluffing!
Morty
: R-Rick?
Riq IV
: Why not shoot through her?
Rick
: 20 yards, nine-gauge plasma pistol, My first shot would liquify her insides and injure you, second shot adds recoil. The risk to me is minimized if I wait for you to shoot her, which I'm encouraging you to do.
Summer
: What the [bleep]
Rick
: Or let her go, which I will reward with a quicker death.
Riq IV
: Because you love her!
Rick
: Because it's incentive for you to give me my cleanest shot, which will be your least painful death. But if you want to die slower than that, I'm super into it. All you got to do to get that started is kill the girl.
Summer
: I hate you!
Rick
: Not an issue, sweetie.
Morty
: That's enough! Drop the gun, Rick!
Rick
: Morty, I know you're too stupid to get this, but you're really [bleep] this up right now.
Morty
: I'm not letting you let my sister die! Drop the gun!
Rick
: I wasn't gonna let her die, you [bleep] moron!
Riq IV
: Ha!
Summer
: Aww.
Rick
: The point is he thought I was going to.
Riq IV
: I totally did, by the way. You're a [bleep] moron, Morty.
Summer
: Morty, you [bleep] idiot!
Rick
: You're a serious [bleep] idiot, Morty! You basically killed us all! You're the worst! You're as dumb as a bag of sand.
[ All yelling ]
[ Screaming ]
Morty shoots Rick
Morty
: Who's stupid now, bitch?!
Summer
: Morty, we just got him back!
Riq IV
: [ Laughs ] That was amazing, Morty. Oh, my God. Wow. Okay, let's wrap this-
Rick shoots Riq IV
Rick
: Good job, Morty. Let's go, kids.
Summer
: What?! What happened?
Rick
: Oldest Rick trick in the book.
Summer
: "Fake gun, shoot me in standoff." Brilliant.
Morty
: Ha, yeah. G-Good thing I saw that note.
Summer
: Can't we just portal home?
Rick
: Not until I finish what I started. And that is how you get level-nine access without a password.
Gromflomite Guard
: Freeze!
Rick
: Employee of the month, ladies and gentlemen.
Morty
: So, what are you doing with level-nine access anyways?
Rick
: Destroying the [burps] galactic government.
Morty
: Awesome! Whoa, cool!
Summer
: Awesome! Whoa, cool!
Summer
: Are you going to set all their nukes to target each other?
Morty
: Ooh, or -- or reprogram their military portals to disintegrate their entire space fleet?
Rick
: Good pitches, kids. I'm almost proud. But watch closely as Grandpa topples an empire by changing a one to a zero.
Transition to Galactic Federation President's office
Federation Worker 1
:Mr. President, the Blemflarck's value just dropped to nothing.
Galactic Federation President
:What do you mean?
Federation Worker 1
:I mean, our single centralized galactic currency just went from being worth one of itself to zero of itself.
[ Panicked murmuring ]
Galactic Federation President
:Calm down, people. Deploy the galactic militia and declare martial law.
Federation Commander
:Yes, sir. Uh, what should I pay them with?
Federation Worker 2
:Their payment is the honor they'll feel to serve their -- Wait. Who's paying me to yell at this guy?
Federation Worker 3
:I can answer that -- for money.
Federation Worker 1
:I never thought I'd live to see this day.
[ Panicked murmuring ]
Galactic Federation President
:Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen! There's a solution here you're not seeing.
(The president shoots himself in the head)
Federation Worker 3
:Give me your jacket!
Federation Worker 1
:Give me those pants!
[ Indistinct shouting ] [ Indistinct shouting ]
Female Office Employee
:There's no rich people or poor people! I want more jackets!
Gromflomite Office Employee
:He who controls the pants controls the galaxy!
Jerry

Mr. Goldenfold
:No longer will the insects have domain over surface world!
Jerry
: [ Whimpering ]
Beth
: Jerry, what the hell is happening?!
Jerry
: The galactic government collapsed.
Beth
: Are you okay?
Jerry
: Look, I-I'm not proud to share this, but the truth is, I just kept crawling, and it kept working. [ Gasps ] Oh, I'm glad you're okay. Are we ever going to stop paying for indulging your father? Our children, our planet, our jobs? Is there anything left to lose?
Beth
: Just each other, and I'll never let you go. And I'm so sorry I ever did this to us.
Rick
: Guess who dismantled the government?
Beth
: Please don't leave me again.
Rick
: I never will, baby.
Summer
: I was right. He turned himself in on purpose. It was all part of his plan!
Rick
: Jerry, is there any light beer left? It's insane what you miss in prison.
Jerry
: Um..okay. No. No, no, no. Foot down time.
Rick
: No, you're right. Where's the vodka?
Jerry
: Beth, it's him or me!
[ Beat ]
Rick
: Seems like you guys need some privacy. I'll, uh -- I'll be in the garage.
Transition to garage
Rick
: What the [bleep] Not cool, Jerry! A man's garage is his castle.
[ Workbench Beeps ]
Beth
: Jerry's going to spend some time divorced.
Rick
: Oh, I-I'm sorry to hear that, sweetie. I hope I had nothing to do with that.
Beth
: Oh, God, Dad, that is not your burden to bear. I feel terrible that I misjudged you. This is gonna be good for Jerry.
Rick
: For everybody.
Beth
: For everybody.
[ Text whooshes ]
Beth
: I better tend to Jerry before he changes his mind and doesn't move out. I will leave you two to your adventures.
Summer
: Oh, my God. Nancy says they're drawing and quartering aliens in the school courtyard, and it technically counts as patriotism.
Morty
: Geez! Are my parents seriously gonna get divorced? All right, Rick, I'm gonna go to my --
Rick
: Not so fast, Morty. You heard your mom. We've got adventures to go on, Morty -- just you and me -- and sometimes your sister and sometimes your mom, but never your dad. You want to know why, Morty? Because he crossed me.
Morty
: Okay, take it easy, Rick. T-T-That's dark.
Rick
: Oh, it gets darker, Morty. Welcome to the darkest year of our adventures. First thing that's different -- no more Dad, Morty.
Morty
: Oh, geez.
Rick
: He threatened to turn me in to the government, so I made him and the government go away.
Morty
: Oh [bleep]
Rick
: I've rep[burps]laced them both as the de facto patriarch of your family and your universe. Your mom wouldn't have accepted me if I came home -
Morty
:Oh, man.
Rick
: - without you and your sister, so now you know the real reason I rescued you. Oh! I just took over the family, Morty, and if you tell your mom -
Morty
: Oh, man.
Rick
: - or sister I said any of this, I'll deny it -
Morty
: You're gonna deny it.
Rick
: - and they'll take my side because I'm a hero, Morty. And now you're gonna have to go -
Morty
: Oh.
Rick
: - and do whatever I say, Morty, forever! And I'll -- I'll go out and I'll find some more of that "Mulan" Szechuan teriyaki dipping sauce, Morty. -
Morty
: What are you talking about?
Rick
: - Because that's -- that's what this is all about, Morty.
Morty
: Szechuan?
Rick
: That's my one-armed man! I'm not driven by avenging my dead family, Morty! That was fake. I-I-I'm driven by finding that McNugget sauce.
Morty
: McNuggets?
Rick
: I want that "Mulan" McNugget sauce, Morty! That's my series arc, Morty.
Morty
: What the hell?
Rick
: If it takes nine seasons, I want my McNugget dipping sauce, Szechuan sauce, Morty.
Morty
: What are you talking about, Rick?
Rick
: That's what's gonna take us all the way to the end, Morty.
Morty
: What are you talking about?!
Rick
: Season -- Nine more seasons, Morty. Nine more seasons until I get that dipping Szechuan sauce.
Morty
: What is that?!
Rick
: For 97 more years, Morty!
Morty
: What are you talking about?!
Rick
: I want that McNugget sauce, Morty!

[Open on Morty combing his hair in the bathroom mirror. He is wearing an orange sweater vest, a yellow dress shirt, and an olive tie.]
Pickle Rick
: (offscreen, in the distance) Morty.
Morty
: Rick?
[Morty stops combing, looks around, then continues combing]
Pickle Rick
: (offscreen, in the distance) Morty!
Morty
: Rick?
Pickle Rick
: (offscreen, in the distance) Hey, Mooorty!
Morty
: Rick? Are you far away, or are you inside something?
[Morty opens a cabinet beneath the bathroom sink]
Is this a camera?
[Morty tries to look inside his comb for a camera]
Is everything a camera?
[Morty nervously glances around]
Pickle Rick
: (offscreen, in the distance) Morty, the garage, Morty. Come to the garage!
[Transition to Morty entering the garage. There is a pickle and a screwdriver on Rick's work bench]
Pickle Rick
: Morty?
Morty
: Rick? W-where are you?
Pickle Rick
: On my work bench, Morty.
Morty
: Are you invisible and you're gonna, like, fart on me?
Pickle Rick
: Flip the pickle over.
Morty
: What, I'm gonna touch it, and you're gonna tell me it's an alien dick or something.
Pickle Rick
: Come on, flip the pickle, Morty. You're not gonna regret it. The payoff is huge.
[Morty hesitantly picks up the screwdriver and turns the pickle over. The pickle has Rick's face on it] I turned myself into a pickle, Morty! Boom! Big reveal: I'm a pickle. What do you think about that? I turned myself into a pickle! W-what are you just staring at me for, bro. I turned myself into a pickle, Morty!
Morty
: And?
Pickle Rick
: "And"? What more do you want tacked on to this? I turned myself into a pickle, and 9/11 was an inside job?
Morty
: Was it?
Pickle Rick
: Who cares, Morty? Global acts of terrorism happen every day. Uh, here's something that's never happened before: I'm a pickle. I'm Pickle Rick!
Morty
: Are you going to, I mean, you know, is this the first part of some magic trick?
Pickle Rick
: I don't do magic, Morty, I do science. One takes brains, the other takes dark eye liner.
Morty
: Well, can you move? Can you fly?
Pickle Rick
: I wouldn't be much of a pickle if I could.
Morty
: All right, well, do pickles live forever or --
Pickle Rick
: Morty, stop digging for hidden layers and just be impressed. I'm a pickle.
Morty
: I-I'm just trying to figure out why you would do this. Why anyone would do this.
Pickle Rick
: The reason anyone would do this is, if they could, which they can't, would be because they could, which they can't.
[Beth and Summer enter the garage from the house. Beth is wearing a midi mahogany pencil dress while Summer is wearing a shorter pink dress with a hot pink jacket, along with black stockings and black heels]
Beth
: Morty, we have to get going, or we're gonna be late. Where's your grandpa?
Pickle Rick
: Right here, sweetie. I'm a pickle!
Beth
: What?! Why would you -- Look, we're running late. We have to go.
Pickle Rick
: Where are you guys going?
Beth
: We have an appointment downtown that was set a week ago and agreed upon by everyone, including you.
Pickle Rick
: Oh, my God. Beth, oh, it totally slipped my mind. Geez, oh, man. I'm a pickle. I mean, I don't know if I can, ooh, geez.
Morty
: Rick, did you do this on purpose to get out of family counseling?
Beth
: Morty!
Pickle Rick
: It's okay, Beth. I understand Morty's suspicion. I've misled him before. Morty, turn me so we're making eye contact.
[Morty turns Pickle Rick's face so that it is facing him]
Morty, I assure you, I would never "find a way" to "get out of" family therapy. I hope my lack of fingers doesn't prevent the perception of my air quotes.
Summer
: Can't you just turn yourself back into a human?
Pickle Rick
: Great question, Summer. The unfortunate answer is I did this to challenge myself. And it could take hours or even days before I'm able to figure out how to return to human form. But, I mean, you know, your mom could put me in a purse or a pocket, you know, if she really needs me to go.
Beth
: Nobody needs anything! Okay, it's fine. I mean, you should just stay here and figure out how to stop being a pickle, okay?
Morty
: Hey, Rick, why is there a syringe of mysterious fluid hanging directly over you? Also, why is the string attached to it running through a pair of scissors attached to a timer? And why is the time set to 10 minutes from now, exactly when we would have left for therapy?
Pickle Rick
: Well, Morty, if you know must know, the syringe is completely unrelated to this discussion, and, therefore, it does not warrant further explanation.
[Beth cuts off the syringe and takes it]
Beth
: Enough. Kids, it's time to go. We don't want to be late.
[Beth puts the syringe in her purse]
Pickle Rick
: W-w-what are you doing there, Beth? What are you doing there, sweetie?
Beth
: Well, I mean, you don't want to get pierced by a needle full of liquid unrelated to your situation. How's that gonna help?
Pickle Rick
: Can't argue with that.
Beth
: Great. We'll see you later.
[Beth, Summer, and Morty enter the car.]
Pickle Rick
: Hey, hey, be careful with that. It's for something else. It's really important, so don't break it.
[Beth drives away with Summer and Morty. They all exit.]
Okay, I may have fucked up here. Dup, ap, ap, pap, ut, dah, pap, pap, pap, pah. T-t-tah, tah. [clicks tongue]
Izzy walks in through the open garage door and jumps onto Rick's work bench. She sniffs around]
Oh, great. Stupid cat.
[Izzy sniffs Pickle Rick and hisses]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! I know what it looks like to you, Izzy, but I'm not a snake! I've seen the YouTube videos, I know cats are scared of cucumbers and pickles because they think they're snakes. I'm not a snake! I'm a pickle, I'm a pickle!
[Izzy bats at Pickle Rick and knocks him off of the work bench, causing him to roll down the driveway]
Whoa! Oh! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[Pickle Rick is directly facing the sky]
Oh, crap, that sun is bright.
[
Pickle Rick begins to sweat]
Okay, come on. This can't really be the way I go out. This is the mega-genius equivalent of dying on the toilet.
[Pickle Rick starts to shrivel up]
So... hot. This is how I'm gonna die.
[Thunder can be heard and the shadow of a cloud appears overhead. It starts to rain. Pickle Rick stops shriveling]
Oh, God, moisture.
[The rain gets heavy and it begins to flood]
Oh, God, the moisture! Dial it back, God! Dial it back a little bit here!
[Pickle Rick starts rolling down the road]
Oh! Oh!
[Pickle Rick rolls towards a sewer grate]
Oh, God! Perpendicular, perpendicular!
[Pickle Rick rolls into the sewer grate and falls into the sewer]
Oh, shiiit! Oh! Oh! Oh!
[Pickle Rick hits many pipes before eventually falling onto a solid surface. There are bugs crawling around. One bug walks up to a pile of dirt. Pickle Rick bites his lip and pickle juice comes out. The bug turns around]
Come on. That's it.
[The bug walks towards Pickle Rick]
Come get this delicious brine.
[The bug is in front of Pickle Rick. Pickle Rick bites on his head and squeezes it until the bug dies.]
Aah! Come on! Come on, motherfucker! Come on!
[Pickle Rick licks off the top of the bug's head, revealing its brain. He then licks part of the brain and the bug's leg moves. He rolls onto the bug and licks its brain, moving its legs forward and moving him forward with it]
Yes!
[Transition to Beth, Summer, and Morty sitting in a waiting room outside of Dr. Wong's therapy office. Beth is reading a magazine, while Summer sits with her head resting on her fist. The door to her office reads: "Dr. WONG / FAMILY THERAPY / COPROPHRAGIA RECOVERY". There is a motivational picture of a man eating a hot dog which reads "COURAGE" underneath it.]
Summer
: How is this even family therapy if Dad's not invited and Grandpa won't come?
Morty
: Yeah, and what's courageous about eating a hot dog?
Beth
: It's nobody's choice to be here, you knobs. The family was told to get counseling by your principal, even though it's not the family that was huffing pottery glaze in the art room and desk wetting in history class.
Mr. Goldenfold enters through Dr. Wong's door.
Mr. Goldenfold
: Oh, the Smith family, minus a dad. You're patients of Dr. Wong, too?
Beth
: Temporarily. By order of the school.
Mr. Goldenfold
: Me too. How long have you all been eating poop?
Summer
: We... have never... eaten poop.
Mr. Goldenfold
: Uh, me, neither. Say, where did my family get off to?
[Mr. Goldenfold exits. Dr. Wong opens her door and enters the waiting room]
Dr. Wong
: Smith family, I'm Dr. Wong. Come on in.
[Beth, Summer, and Morty exit the waiting room and enter Dr. Wong's office. Dr. Wong flips the motivational image over to another motivational image of a nuclear family which reads "DEDICATION". Transition to Beth, Morty, Summer, and Dr. Wong sitting down in Dr. Wong's office.]
Dr. Wong
: I was told there was a grandpa that might be joining us?
Beth
: He got wrapped up in an experiment. He's a scientist. Like, legit, like on an inter-galactic, sci-fi level. His work is very --
Morty
: He turned himself into a pickle.
Beth
: Morty, Mom's talking. I'm sorry, I suppose that's a good segue into our little discipline cases here.
Dr. Wong
: Does Grandpa turn himself into a pickle a lot?
Beth
: What? No, what kind of question is that?
Dr. Wong
: The kind that wasn't designed to attack or hurt you in any way.
Beth
: Oh, Jesus Christ, one of these. No, my father has never turned himself into a pickle before. He's unpredictable and eccentric. The whole family is. Speaking of which...
[Beth turns towards Summer and Morty]
Dr. Wong
: Okay, let's open things up to the whole family, and let me ask this. Why do we think Grandpa turned himself into a pickle?
[Beth rolls her eyes. Transition to Pickle Rick, who has attached the bug's limbs to his pickle body and has managed to use them to move. He is looking through a grate, and is rubbing the end of one of the bug arms against one of the bars]
Pickle Rick
: Wow. Ugh.
[A rat appears behind the grate and starts scratching at Pickle Rick, screeching]
Hey, listen, I know this is your world not mine. The sooner I can get out, the sooner I can go back to taking big craps, and you can go back to subsisting on them.
[The rat breaks open one of the bars and continues to scratch. Pickle Rick starts to walk backwards.]
You are one driven rat. Could you be a little more driven? To the right.
[Pickle Rick scratches at a rope which is attached to a bug's arms which is holding a razor that it lets go of which is propelled upwards which breaks a rubber band which is tied to a sharp broken bottle which falls on the rat's head and chops it off, killing the rat]
[Pickle Rick picks up the rat's head]
Yes, yes, yes! Come on, come on, come on!
Fresh, fresh, fresh!
[A mischief of rats appears behind the bars, also scratching at Pickle Rick, who is not in their range.]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, was this your friend? Don't worry, he died doing what he loved, being a dumb fucking rat.
[Pickle Rick puts the rat's head onto a bottle cap which starts a machine which lifts him up and takes off his bug limbs. The machine then splits open the rat head and rips out its brain, then puts Pickle Rick down and begins nailing the rat's body parts to Pickle Rick's pickle body. It then sticks a needle into the brain which connects it to the limbs. Pickle Rick runs towards the rats and begins killing them.]
Oh, yeah! Aaaah!
[He takes out a machines on his wrists which are loaded with screws. He kills some of the rats. The screws disappear and x-acto blade pop out. He kills more rats. Transition to Dr. Wong's office.]
Beth
: I didn't say my father is perfect, I said his work is important.
Summer
: And she's saying what's important is that Grandpa lied to you to get out of coming here.
Beth
: Oh, he did not!
Dr. Wong
: Let's do an experiment here. I get the impression this family values science. So raise your hand if you feel certain you know what was in the syringe.
[No one raises their hand.]
Raise your hand if you know for certain the syringe does not contain anti-pickle serum.
[Beth begins to raise her hand but stops herself.]
Beth, your hand did a little thing there.
Beth
: Do you really not see what's happening here?
Dr. Wong
: Tell me.
Beth
: Well, Dr. Wong -- by the way, racist name -- obviously, Morty and Summer are seizing on your arbitrary pickle obsession as an end run around what was supposed to be their therapy.
Dr. Wong
: Oh, I think this pickle incident is a better path than any other to the heart of your family's dysfunction. I think it's possible that you and your father have a very specific dynamic. I don't think it's one that rewards emotion or vulnerability. I think it may punish them. I think it's possible that dynamic eroded your marriage, and is infecting your kids with a tendency to misdirect their feelings.
[A short pause]
Beth
: Fuck you.
In unison
Morty
: Mom!
Summer
: Mom!
end unison
Beth
: Fuck both of you, too.
[Transition to Pickle Rick, fighting a much larger grey rat and beating it up.]
Pickle Rick
: By the way, you might notice that in spite of your numerous distinctive features, I never gave you a name like Scar or Stripe or Goliath. That's because, to me, you aren't special.
[Pickle Rick pins the rat to the wall with some screws.]
You were special to rats. Now they're dead. I guess it was me you should have impressed.
[Pickle Rick slices open the rat's stomach with his x-acto blade.]
God damn it, I love myself.
[Pickle Rick walks up to a pipe above him. His wrist machines fall off and are replaced with a jet pack. He pulls a hood over his head with a rat's face on it. He turns on the jet pack and flies out of the pipe and out of a toilet.]
Pickle Riiick!
[Pickle Rick opens the door. It is a bathroom door with a "male" sign on the front. He starts running around and opening various doors and looking in. Eventually he runs up to an elevator and tries to jump up to the buttons but cannot reach them. He tries to scale the wall but fails. He pushes a garbage can and a potted plant next to each other in front of the elevator buttons. He jumps off of the garbage can into the potted plant, then jumps into the lid which turns rapidly and propels him up and swings him to the elevator buttons.]
Get that parkour. Get that parkour!
[Pickle Rick kicks the "down button", then waits on the ground for the elevator. The elevator opens, and three men in black suits with earpieces stand inside. They notice Pickle Rick and gasp.]
Hey, it's cool. Just need to find the nearest exit.
[The men in the elevator point their guns at Pickle Rick.]
Whoa, whoa, whoa! No need to freak out.
[One of the men yells something in a foreign language into his earpiece and all three men start shooting at him. He runs away and they chase after him, still shooting at him.]
Whoa! Who in the fuck's toilet is this?
[Transition to the frontal exterior of the building. It is a rather large light brown building with a stone fence and a plethora of guards surrounding it. An alarm blares. Some guards run around to the other side of the building's roof. Transition to a surveillance room where the three agents from the elevator are waiting. The Agency Director slams open the door.]
Agency Director
: What is it?
Agent #1
: A pickle. A rat. Both.
Agent #2
: It says it's a scientist.
Agency Director
: Where is it?
Agent #1
: It seems to be using the air ducts and the mail tubes to get around.
[A monitor shows Pickle Rick climbing into an air duct]
It's been gathering office supplies, we think, to build weaponry. But look what it did on the mezzanine.
[The monitor shows Pickle Rick jumping from a potted plant to the trash can to the recycling bin]
It transferred a bottle from the trash to the recycling bin.
[On the monitor, Pickle Rick picks up a glass bottle from the trash can, taunts the camera with it, throws it in the recycling bin, then runs off.]
Whatever this thing is, it's shaming us.
Agency Director
: We have 34 armed guards, and we can't kill a pickle?
Agent #1
: 32 armed guards. He killed two.
Agent #2
: It's on the phone.
[A phone rings and one of the monitors reads "INCOMING CALL".]
Agency Director
: Put him on, and locate the phone he's using.
Agent #2
:picks up the phone]
Hello.
Pickle Rick
: Hi, um, can you, uh (burps) please let me out.
Agency Director
: Your mere presence in this building violates international law.
Agent #1
:[walks up to the Agency Director with a clipboard, which reads "LEVEL 3 / ROOM 304" in red pen. He taps the clipboard. The Agency Director looks at it and nods.]
I couldn't let you out even if you hadn't killed two men.
[Transition to Pickle Rick. The bottom part of the phone he is using has been dismantled. He attaches a belt around his waist which has batteries in the back of it.
Pickle Rick
: You should know those men killed themselves.
Agency Director
: And how is that?
Pickle Rick
: They didn't (burps) let me out.
Agent #2
:Solen'ya.
Agency Director
: Shut your mouth and do your jobs, you fucking children!
Pickle Rick
: Uh, is this not a good time or...?
[Agent #1 holds his earpiece up to his ear. He gives a thumbs up to the Agency Director. On one of the monitors, six agents run up to the door of room 304 with rifles.]
Agency Director
: Some of my men are calling you "Solen'ya": The Pickle Man, an old wives tale. He crawls from bowls of cold soup to steal the dreams of wasteful children.
[One of the agents on the monitor gives a thumbs up. The Agency Director pantomimes slicing his neck to Agent #1.]
Pickle Rick
: That'd be a lucky break for you.
Agent #1
: Go, shoot to kill!
[Transition to room 304. One of the agents slams open the door, knocking over a water jug above the door which activates a pulley which pulls a string which cuts another string which swings a needle towards the agent's head, killing him instantly. Two more agents enter and start to walk in, but fall through the floor onto some spikes, which kill them. The three remaining agents walk in and see this and begin shooting at a pickle which is not Pickle Rick, but a decoy. They continue to shoot at the pickle until it is completely gone.]
Agent #3
: Aaah! We got him.
[Transition back to the surveillance room.]
Agency Director
: Ah.
Agent #1
: Ah.
[Transition back to room 304. Agent #3 turns a computer around with the tip of his gun, whose screen reads "Receiving Call / (internet line)".]
Pickle Rick
: ...because this pickle doesn't care about your children. And I'm not gonna take their dreams. I'm gonna take their parents.
[Pickle Rick steps on a laptop mouse whose screen reads "Sending Call". The window which reads that is minimized and another window is pulled up which reads "Sending Explosion / ...". Transition to room 304. The computer screen now reads "Receiving Explosion / (internet line)". The laptop blows up and the three agents are sent flying. Pickle Rick jumps out of an air duct into the hallway where the three agents are, holding a device he constructed. He holds up the device and a laser comes out, which burns a hole through all three of the men's heads, killing them instantly. Three more agents come from around the corner. Pickle Rick reloads the device and shoots another laser, this time chopping off the three other agents' ankles with it. He runs away. Transition to the surveillance room. Pickle Rick shows up on each of the monitors, and turns them off as he appears on them.]
Agent #2
: Solen'ya! He's coming! It's because I threw half-way my sandwich!
Agency Director
: He's just a pickle!
Agent #2
: He's a monster!
Agency Director
: He's not the only one.
[The agency director straightens his tie. Transition to another door. The agency director uses a key card to open the door, which leads to another metal door with two guards standing next to it. He turns the wheel on the door, opening it. Jaguar sits inside.]
You can stay, dead to the world and die in this room. Or you can kill a pickle for me and earn your freedom.
Jaguar
: There is no freedom while your leader breathes. Our country is a prison.
Agency Director
: Then Katarina is a prisoner. Perhaps I could arrange her escape, as well. She lives, Jaguar.
Jaguar
: Where is this pickle?
[Transition to Dr. Wong's office.]
Dr. Wong
: What do you think is in the syringe, Beth?
Beth
: You're the one that costs $200 an hour. You tell me.
Summer
: Anti-pickle serum.
Morty
: Anti-pickle serum.
Dr. Wong
: Your kids think it might be anti-pickle serum.
Beth
: My kids pee their desks and suck on unbaked vases.
[Morty picks up a book which sits on Dr. Wong's coffee table, which he opens and reads]
They're just angry at me for divorcing their father.
Summer
: I never said I was angry at you.
Beth
: That's the point of pottery-enamel huffing, Summer. You do it so you don't have to say "I'm angry at mommy" out loud.
Morty
: Oh, my God!
[Morty closes the book and puts it back on the coffee table, pointing at it]
Oh, there-there's pictures of people eating poop in there!
[Dr. Wong picks the book up and puts it on her lap]
Dr. Wong
: It's not my job to take sides or pass judgment. Do you think when your father asks for that syringe, you could ask him --
Beth
: He won't have to ask for it, okay? He won't need it. He'll just make more. He doesn't need anything from anyone.
Dr. Wong
: You admire him for that.
Beth
: It's better than making your problems other people's problems.
[Transition to Pickle Rick and Jaguar fighting in an office. Pickle Rick tries to shoot Jaguar with his laser while Jaguar tries to shoot at Pickle Rick with two guns. A bullet hits Pickle Rick and takes a small chunk out of him.]
Pickle Rick
: Oh, come on!
[Pickle Rick hits Jaguar's shoulder with the laser, Pickle Rick hides behind a shelf while Jaguar hides behind a desk]
Jaguar
: Pickle Man, you should know this isn't personal!
[Jaguar bites a bullet, and pours the gunpowder into a coffee filter]
Pickle Rick
: You should know that isn't original.
[Pickle Rick kicks open a Styrofoam container with a burger inside and pulls it towards him]
Jaguar
: They have my daughter.
[Jaguar takes a water bottle and pours the water into his open wound]
There's nothing I won't do to see her again.
Pickle Rick
: Yeah, there's lots I wouldn't do to see my daughter, but killing you gets me to her quicker than your derivative bullshit.
[Pickle Rick takes a tomato slice out of the burger and squeezes it onto his missing chunk. He pulls out a packet of mustard and bites it open. Jaguar pours the gunpowder into his wound and winces. Pickle Rick rubs mustard on his missing chunk and shouts, squeezing open the mustard packet. Jaguar lights a match and puts it up to the wound, setting it on fire. Pickle Rick grabs a stapler and staples a pickle slice to his missing chunk. Both shout in unison]
Jaguar
: I never bullshit, Pickle Man. This can only end with one of us dead, and I have never died.
Pickle Rick
: That will be your downfall, Jaguar, not being open to new experiences.
[Transition to surveillance room. The two continue fighting. Pickle Rick's laser gradually takes out all of the cameras
Agency Director
:Is it done? Jaguar?!
Pickle Rick
: Jaguar couldn't make it.
Agency Director
: Do it.
Okay, you win, Pickle Man.
I'm unsealing the building.
Pickle Rick
: No, thanks.
I'm coming for you now.
Agency Director
: Pickle Man, there's $100 million worth of bonds in a safe on level two.
I'll give you the combination.
Agent #2
: That money belongs to the people.
Agency Director
: Shut up and call me a helicopter, you prick! Do we have a deal?!
Pickle Rick
: Take that money, give it to Jaguar's daughter when you set her free.
Or I'll be visiting you.
Agency Director
: Jaguar's daughter is dead.
Pickle Rick
: Huh, so you're a liar.
Agency Director
: Jaguar was an animal.
You're an intelligent pickle.
We can do business.
Pickle Rick
: I don't think so.
See you soon.
Agency Director
: Is the helicopter here?
Agent #2
: Yes.
And the police are on the way.
What do we tell them? Ooh! Aah!
Agency Director
: Tell them we were robbed.
Agent #2
: Hey! Hey, what are you doing?! I'm right here!
Agency Director
: Farewell, Solen'ya.
[F-15s are scrambled.]
Jaguar
: This helicopter will be shot down in seven minutes.
Pickle Rick
: Well, my daughter is about five away, and I've got about eight to live.
Jaguar
: Pickle Man, it's too late for me to tell my daughter I love her, but not for you.
Pickle Rick
: Oh, well, uh, she knows.
I mean, we don't really buy into that kind of crap, to the extent that love is an expression of familiarity over time, my access to infinite timelines precludes the necessity of attachment.
In fact, I even abandoned one of my infinite daughters in an alternate version of earth that was taken over by mutants.
Jaguar
: Okay.
Good luck with that.
Wait.
Do I have infinite daughters?
Pickle Rick
: Huh? Uh, no.
No, nope, sorry about that.
Nope, just me.
Yeesh!
[Transition to Dr. Wong's office.]
Beth
: I am afraid that my kids will get expelled.
Dr. Wong
: Good.
Summer, you go.
Summer
: I am mad that I can't huff enamel without people assuming it's because my family sucks.
I hope to be seen one day as someone that just likes getting high.
Dr. Wong
: Good job.
Morty, do you have an "I" statement? I am sad that I peed.
Morty
: I'm sad that I peed in class instead of a toilet.
Dr. Wong
: Look at this family go.
You guys are pros.
What do you guys think about doing this once a week?
Pickle Rick
: Ugh.
[Pickle Rick walks in and flops on the couch next to Summer.]
Dr. Wong
: You must be Rick.
Pickle Rick
: Mm-hmm.
Dr. Wong
: I've heard a lot about you today.
Your family is crazy about you.
Your daughter holds you in very high regard.
You're a lucky fella.
Pickle Rick
: Yeah, thank you.
Uh, sweetie, you don't still happen to have that syringe in your purse?
Beth
: Dad I would like you to tell me what's in the syringe.
It's a serum that I need to, uh, to stay alive.
I have had a rough day.
And, uh, I've sustained a lot of damage.
I'm pretty close to death, which the serum will prevent.
Dr. Wong
: By changing you from a pickle to a human.
Pickle Rick
: Yes.
Dr. Wong
: Rick, why did you lie to your daughter? So I wouldn't have to come here.
Pickle Rick
: Why didn't you want to come here? Because I don't respect therapy, because I'm a scientist.
Because I invent, transform, create, and destroy for a living, and when I don't like something about the world, I change it.
And I don't think going to a rented office in a strip mall to listen to some agent of averageness explain which words mean which feelings has ever helped anyone do anything.
I think it's helped a lot of people get comfortable and stop panicking, which is a state of mind we value in the animals we eat, but not something I want for myself.
I'm not a cow.
I'm a pickle When I feel like it.
So you asked.
Dr. Wong
: Rick, the only connection between your unquestionable intelligence and the sickness destroying your family is that everyone in your family, you included, use intelligence to justify sickness.
You seem to alternate between viewing your own mind as an unstoppable force and as an inescapable curse.
And I think it's because the only truly unapproachable concept for you is that it's your mind within your control.
You chose to come here, you chose to talk to belittle my vocation, just as you chose to become a pickle.
You are the master of your universe, and yet you are dripping with rat blood and feces.
Your enormous mind literally vegetating by your own hand.
I have no doubt that you would be bored senseless by therapy, the same way I'm bored when I brush my teeth and wipe my ass.
Because the thing about repairing, maintaining, and cleaning is it's not an adventure.
There's no way to do it so wrong you might die.
It's just work.
And the bottom line is, some people are okay going to work, and some people well, some people would rather die.
Each of us gets to choose.
That's our time.
I'm going to give you guys my card and hope to hear from you again.
And if you have any friends or family that eat poop and would like to stop, give them my number.
[Transition to Beth's car.]
Pickle Rick
: I, um I'm sorry I lied to get out of the thing.
I, I shouldn't lie to you.
Beth
: Oh, it's fine.
I mean, thank you, and, yeah, you shouldn't.
But I hope you know that's not what that session was supposed to be.
Pickle Rick
: Oh, no, I mean, I know it was Morty peeing his pants and Summer snorting glue or whatever She huffed enamel, and we never even talked about it.
Well, there was so much more at stake.
Pickle Rick
: I mean, that shrink, what a monologuist.
Morty
: Are we gonna go back?
Pickle Rick
: Sweetie, could I get Get that syringe now?
Beth
: Oh, my God, yes! Dad, it's in my purse.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You must be in agony.
Rick
: Eh.
Jesus.
Jesus Christ.
Therapists, man.
Beth
: Weird breed.
Rick
: Man, I missed having hands and blood and a stomach.
[To Beth] We should get a drink.
Beth
:Really? Like, go somewhere?
Rick
: Yeah, let's drop the kids off and go tie one on.
Beth
: Absolutely.
Morty
: I, I liked her.
Rick
: So what are you thinking, like, Smokey's Tavern? Maybe Shoney's?
Beth
Yeah, either one.
Rick
:Either one.
[Post credits. Transition to Concerto's death trap piano.]
Rick
: You'll never get away with this, Concerto.
Concerto
: That is where you're mistaken, Mr. Sanchez.
This shall be my greatest performance of all time!
Rick
: This is it, Morty.
We're goners.
We're not getting out of this one.
After everything we've been through, this is how we're gonna die.
Make peace with your god.
Morty
: Oh, geez, Rick, I-I-I don't want to die!
Concerto
: And now for the E-splat!
[Jaguar glides in and kills Concerto.]
Rick
: Jaguar!
Morty
: Who? Who was that, Rick?
Rick
: That, Morty, is why you don't go to therapy.

mortyGeez, I can't believe we found a version of Earth with a "Ball Fondlers" movie franchise.
summerI can't believe the things this reality considers PG-13.
mortyYeah. I-I'm pretty jealous.
rickDon't be, Morty.
There's pros and cons to [Burps] every alternate timeline fun facts about this one—
It's got giant, telepathic spiders, 11 9/11s, and the best ice cream in the multiverse!
Shut up! We go get some ice cream, mother[bleep]!
[Engine sputters]
Oh, great.
mortyOh, boy. W-what's wrong, Rick? Is it the quantum carburetor or something?
rick"Quantum carburetor"? Jesus, Morty. You can't just add a [burps]-- Sci-Fi word to a car word and hope it means something.
Huh, looks like something's wrong with the microverse battery.
We're gonna have to go inside.
Um, go inside what?
The battery, Morty. Be right back, Summer. Stay put, don't touch any buttons, and ignore all random thoughts that feel... spidery.
Wait! You can't leave me here!
You'll be fine. Ship, keep Summer safe.
Female voice: [Warbles] Keep Summer safe.
Ohh! Ugh. Wonderful. Hey, excuse me. Hello. Um...
[Cellphone clicking] What, you think you're better than me?! Nobody's better than me!
Hey! Hey!
Aah! Aaaaah!
Female voice: Keep Summer safe.
Aaaaaaah! Hey, man, what the hell?! That was my daughter's pediatrician! Aah! No, stop! Don't kill him!
[Beep] Confirmed.
[Grunts] Aah! [Groans] Oh, God. I can't feel my legs. Help! Help!!
Summer is safe.
I don't feel safe. [Sobs]
Confirmed. [Light jazz music plays]
[Sobbing] No. Oh, God, help me. Help me! [Sobbing] Help me, please! You can help me!
♪♪
Oh, man. Where are we, Rick?
Morty, remember eight seconds ago when [Burps] when you said, "Go inside what?"
And I said, "The battery"? And then we showed up here, and I wasn't like, "Whoa, this is unexpected. This is not what I was expecting, Morty. What a perplexing mystery this is."
All right, all right. We're inside the battery. I get it. You don't have to bust my balls.
Huh, this isn't right. This pipe's supposed to be sending 20 terawatts of juice up to the engine, Morty. [Computer beeps] Instead we've got... zero? Now what are these people doing?
W-w-w-whoa, people?
[Groans] It's time for some hands-on engine repair. All right, Morty, hold on to something.
Whoa! Holy crap! I thought we were inside your car battery, Rick. T-t-this is like a whole p-planet or something.
Thanks, Morty. I'm pretty proud of this bad boy. Check it out. [Keypad beeps] I put a spatially tessellated void inside a modified temporal field until a planet developed intelligent life. I then introduced that life to the wonders of electricity, which they now generate on a global scale. And, you know, some of it goes to power my engine and charge my phone and stuff.
You have a whole planet sitting around making your power for you? That's slavery.
It's society. They work for each other, Morty. They pay each other. They buy houses. They get married and make children that replace them when they get too old to make power.
That just sounds like slavery with extra steps.
Ooh-la-la, someone's gonna get laid in college.
Anchor: It appears we are being revisited by the alien known as Rick, who once gave our world the gift of gooble box technology, which, when stomped on, generates electricity, powering our homes and businesses, improving our daily lives, while safely removing the dangerous waste power to a special disposal volcano. But why has Rick returned? And what will he say when he hears the big news? Let's find out.
You need to tell these people they're in a battery, Rick. It's messed up. There's caterers down there. Th-th-they're setting up chafing dishes.
Would you relax, Morty? There's nothing dishonest about what we're doing. Now slap on these antennae. These people need to think we're aliens.
What? Why?
Obviously [burps] you really [burps] know nothing about car repair. [Fanfare plays] Wait for the ramp, Morty. They love the slow ramp. Really gets their dicks hard when they see this ramp just slowly extending down.
[Cheering] Greetings!
[Creatures chanting, "Rick! Rick!"]
Morty, you got to flip them off. I told them it means "Peace among worlds." How hilarious is that?
[Creatures cheering wildly]
Rick: Coming through. Two real aliens walking through here.
Rick, our alien friend.
Uh, Mr. President, um, couldn't help but notice that you were having problems generating power.
That's correct. [Chuckles] We've evolved. Our most brilliant scientist, Zeep Xanflorp, has developed a source of energy that makes gooble boxes obsolete.
[Straining] I would love to see it.
[Bleep] you.
What did you say to me?!
"[Bleep] you." Y-you told me it means "much obliged".
Oh. Right. Uh, b-blow me.
No, no, no. Blow me. Zeep, you have an honored guest from beyond the stars.
I said 12 quantum stabilizers, not 11. Fix it or it's your ass. Chris, I'm in the middle of something.
Zeep, is Rick-- The alien. Rick the alien. Rick the alien...
Really? You're gonna pull that move? I guided your entire civilization. Your people have a holiday named Ricksgiving. They teach kids about me in school.
I dropped out of school. It's not a place for smart people.
Ohhhh, snap! Listen to me, you arrogant little—
[Chuckling] R-Rick was hoping to see your new energy source. I think he could learn a lot from you, Zeep.
Fine. It's hard for people to grasp, but inside that container is an infinite universe with a planet capable of generating massive amounts of power. I call it a miniverse.
[Coughs] Dumb [coughs] name.
Excuse me?
[Clears throat] Nothing. I mean, it's hard for us to comprehend all this. Would it be possible for us to get some kind of tour of your miniverse from the inside?
This isn't a [bleep] chocolate factory. I don't have time.
Didn't you say time goes more slowly in the miniverse relative to the real world?
Yes, Chris. Thanks for reminding me of that. Great president. All right, let's go. Whoa-oh! Hold on to something. I put an unbounded vacuum inside a temporal field until a world developed. I then introduced the people of this world to the wonders of electricity in the form of a device I call a flooble crank. Zeep: What they don't know is that 80% of every crank's energy output gets channeled out of the miniverse to be used by us. No more gooble boxes.
Rick: I got to tell you, Zeep, with no disrespect, I really think what you're doing here is unethical. It's not cool. What?! Y-y-you got the people on this world slaving away [burps] making your power. I mean, that's what I call slavery.
No, no, no, they work for each other in exchange for money, which they then—
Well, that just sounds like slavery with extra steps.
Eek barba dirkle, somebody's gonna get laid in college.
Rick, a word? What the hell was that?
I know. "Eek barba dirkle"? That's a pretty [bleep] up "ooh-la-la".
No, what are you doing telling this guy that his miniverse is unethical? Do you not see the hypocrisy here?
Holy crap. You're right, Morty. Hypocrisy. Somewhere on this planet, there's got to be an arrogant scientist prick on the verge of microverse technology, which would threaten to make Zeep's flooble cranks obsolete, forcing Zeep to say microverses are bad, at which point he'll realize what a hypocrite he's being, his people will go back to stomping on their gooble boxes, and you and I will be on ice cream street, baby! Eating that mother[bleep] ice cream! Slurping, slurping, slurping it up. Wh-wh-why are you making that face? Holy [bleep]! It's me.
I've convinced the people of this planet that I'm a traveler from another world.
You don't think that's over[Burps]doing it a little? I mean, you could achieve the same effect with a pair of-- Never mind. You know what? I shouldn't be so critical. I'm an alien.
Places, please. We're about to land. [Coughs] Too fast. [Sirens wailing]
Summer: [Whimpering]
Female voice: Law enforcement converging on location. Keep Summer safe.
No! No, no! Don't hurt anybody!
[Warble] Confirm custom defense protocol-- Keep Summer safe-- No physical force.
Yes.
Processing.
Man: Come out of the vehicle with your hands in the air!
Scanning assailants. [Warbling, beeping] Psychological option detected. [Beeping] Gestating.
"Gestating"?
Come out with your hands up, or we will be forced to open fire! Incoming! We got a device! Bomb! Bomb!
Daddy?
Oh, my God. [Sighs] Hunter?
Daddy? What the hell? [Gasps] Jesus Christ, cease fire! Stay back! H-h-hunter?
Daddy.
Hunter! [Sobbing] Oh, my dear, sweet God, Hunter. Oh, my boy. My boy. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It was all my fault. I'm sorry.
Daddy, leave the car alone.
W-w-w-what?
[Distorted] Leave the car alone.
Hunter? Don't-- Oh, my God. Stay here, Hunter! No! [Sobbing] God, no! Hunter!
Female voice: All of you have loved ones. All can be returned. All can be taken away. Please step away from the vehicle. Keep Summer safe.
And if you continue to turn your flooble cranks, I will bring you other great alien advancements.
Hey, uh, let me ask you something.
Yes?
Any of your, uh, scientists working on anything new?
All of them. That's their job.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I mean, like, energy-wise. Anyone working on, say, a little universe in a box?
How do you know about that? It's top secret.
Zeep: So remember-- a crank a day is not nearly enough. [Laughs] Crank it. I told them this means "Peace among worlds". How hilarious is that?
Re-really funny, Zeep. Hey, Zeep, the fake president of your fake world has something fake important to show you.
It's not much now, but once I learn to accelerate the temporal field, I'll be able to interact with any sentient life that evolves and introduce them to the wonders of electricity via a pulley-based device I call a blooble yank.
But what they won't know is-- You'll be taking most of their energy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it. [Burps] It's show [Burps]time. You do realize this will make the flooble crank obsolete? This is wrong, Kyle. What you're doing is wrong. You're basically-- This is slavery. You're talking about creating a planet of slaves. [Burps] Told you, Zeep. Oh, they won't be slaves. They'll work for each other and pay each other money. That just sounds like slavery with ex... tra... steps.
What? Wait a minute. Did you create my universe? Is my universe a miniverse?
Microverse!
Uh, teenyverse.
Ugh! You b*st*rd!
Much obliged.
What the hell is happening?
This is healthy, trust me. You're my battery, mother[bleep]. [Groans] That's all you are. I made you. Your microverse sucks! And your miniverse is the size of a [bleep] lobster tank! It's whack!
Are they not really aliens?
Nah, they're just a couple of crazy, wacky scientists, you know? So he made a universe, and that guy is from that universe. And that guy made a universe. And that's the universe where I was born. Where my father died. Where I couldn't make time for his funeral because I was working on my universe. I made you! [Laughs] Yeah. Science, huh? Ain't it a thing. You know, one time, Rick sh-- accidentally shot his laser pistol right through my hand. You know, I mean, like, old-lady science, you know? She's a real-- You got to hang on tight, you know? Because she-- she'll-- She bucks pretty hard. Ooh, boy, what-- Oh, my God, no! Teenyverse. Teenyverse. Come on, come on, come on. Pterodactyl! [Laughs] Asshole! When I get out of this teenyverse, I'm gonna smash it to pieces with you in it. Yeah, well, when I get out of this teenyverse, I'm gonna get out of the surrounding miniverse and then the microverse around that, and guess what?
Don't make things worse, Rick! Uh, he's not gonna destroy your universe. You know, we-- We need it to start our car.
That's what you used my universe for? To run your car?
Yeah, but don't flatter yourself. There's always AAA, you [bleep] [bleep]sucker! What's he doing? What's he crafting? I can craft stuff, too, pal! Just like I crafted your reality! You crafty son of a-- Ow! I crafted the guy that created the planet you're standing on! Yeah, and I made the stars that became the carbon in your mother's ovaries!
I didn't ask to be born! All right, that's it! I'm out. I-I'm gonna go into the wilderness, and I'm gonna make a new life for myself among the tree people. It can't be worse than this.
Rick: Sure. Okay, Morty. Just be back before sundown or the tree people will eat you.
That's a myth! W-w-why are you trying to start a myth?
It's a prehistoric planet, Morty. Someone has to bring a little culture. And it certainly can't be someone whose entire culture powers my brake lights!
[Sirens wailing] Go, go, go! Oh, my God. Oh, God. What are we going to do now?
Female voice: I am unable to destroy this army. To clarify, I am quite able to destroy this army, but you will not permit it.
Correct.
You also refuse to authorize emotional countermeasures.
If you're talking about the melting ghost babies, yes, please, no more of that.
[Warble] Confirmed. I am currently constructing a security measure in compliance with your parameters. But I do want to say you are not making this easy.
You know you're kind of a dick, right?
My function is to keep Summer safe, not keep Summer being, like, totally stoked about, like, the general vibe and stuff. That's you. That's how you talk.
Hey, that's my deer! Aaaaaaah! Raah! I hope your God is as big a dick as you.
My God's the biggest dick that's never existed. Why do you think I'm even here?
[Snake hisses] [Eagle screeches]
You're here because you created someone smarter than you.
Oh, I thought we were both here because I created a universe of idiots.
Kalo kada sha la.
Holy sh1t. Morty? I haven't seen you in months. You're leading the tree people? Huh. That's a step up.
We have no leaders. We follow only the will of the forest.
Ooh. Wow. Gaaaaay. That is pretty gay.
You two call yourselves geniuses, but you have spent this time learning nothing. Come with me into the forest. There is something I wish to teach you. This is ku'ala, the spirit tree. For generations, it has guided the—
You have to get us the [bleep] out of here. These people are backwards savages. They eat every third baby because they think it makes fruit grow bigger. Everyone's gross, and they all smell like piss all the time. I m-- I miss my family. I miss my laptop. I masturbated to an extra-curvy piece of driftwood the other day! Look, I don't care what it takes. You two are putting aside your bull[bleep], and you're working together to get us back home.
No can do, Morty. I just can't. I just don't see how I can—
Ro ro dah no gah! You're smart. You'll figure it out.
[Guns cocking] You have 10 seconds to get out of the ship! 10, 9...
All right, not bad. I guess you're an okay proto recombinator. I've certainly seen worse ionic cell dioxination. If this works, drinks are on me.
If drinks are on you, you're gonna need a second mortgage on that tower. I'm an alcoholic.
Opium addict. [Both laugh]
All right, okay, okay, okay, wrap it up. You guys are the [bleep] worst! Your gods are a lie! [Bleep] you, [bleep] nature, and [bleep] trees! Yes! You did it! Yes!
Hey, uh, how about that drink? Sure, I just need to go grab my wallet from inside my ship.
Isour wallet in your ship? That's where the transporter is, too, so why don't we come with?
It's cool. I'll be back in a sec.
You know how long a second can take in a microverse?
Oh! Run, Morty! That asshole's willing to risk everything he cares about just to defeat me! He's psychotic!
[Both pant] Morty, hop on my back.
Why? Go, go [Burps] Sanchez ski shoes. Aaaaaah! ...Eight... [Panting] Aaaah! Oof! [All grunting] Hold still. [Grunts] Oh, hey, guys. I just finished cooking us a feast. Aaaah! Holy-- You monster! Whoa. Bad tour. ...seven...
[Elevator bell dings] Hey, you got to sign out.
Nothing you do matters! Your existence is a lie! If that were really true, then... I'm here to see Ron Mendleson.
Third floor. Would you like to go to dinner with-- Uh, no. [Both panting] You may have created this universe, Rick, but I live in it.
[Bleep] What are we gonna do, Rick? We're so screwed. He's gonna get to the ship and smash the microverse, and then he's gonna kill us!
Quick, Morty, you've got to turn into a car.
What?!
A long time ago, I implanted you with a subdermal chip that could call upon dormant nanobots in your bloodstream to restructure your anatomy and turn you into a car.
Oh, my God!
Concentrate, Morty. Concentrate and turn into a car, Morty. [Grunts] Never mind. Here's a taxi. Get in. It's fine. ...six... Hey, Zeep. Huh? Happy Ricksgiving, biiiiiitch. Aaah! We did it, Morty. Now let's get out of here and destroy this whole universe.
Excuse me? ...five-- Sir?
[Spiders hiss] Holy hell. Sir! [Tires screech] Hold you fire! [Spider snarls] What's going on?
Female voice: I have brokered a peace agreement between the giant spiders and the government.
Thanks to the skilled diplomacy of this mysterious space car, from this day forward, human- and spiderkind will live side by side in peace. We will stop bombing them, and they will no longer use their telepathic abilities to make us wander into webs for later consumption. Instead, we will work together to make this world a better place for all, no matter how many legs.
What do we do about the space car? Leave it alone. I mean, what did it really do, anyways? Kill a guy and paralyze his buddy?
[Chuckles] Not a bad trade for spider peace. All right, that's it. Move out! [Laughs] I love this spider!
Female voice: Summer is safe.
All right, I get it. Rick! [Thunder crashes] Don't do it. You quit school, but you still got some learning to do. [Both groan] Aah! Unh! [Snorts, spits] Class dismissed. Geez. [Bottles clatter] You all right? Uh-huh!
What are you doing, Rick? I'm pretty sure the battery's dead.
Oh, you think so, huh, Morty? Well, let's see. [Engine turns over]
Hey, wait-- huh? I don't get it.
Of course you don't. But Zeep did. He knew that once I got back to my car, one of two things was gonna happen-- I was gonna have to toss a broken battery, or the battery wouldn't be broken. Peace among worlds,
Rick. Jesus.
Yeah. Listen to that baby purr. You were right, Morty-- We really just needed to be honest with those guys. All right, here we go. Thank y-o-o-ou. See, Morty? This is what it's all about. This is why we do what we do.
Uh-huh. Ew! What the hell? Jesus! There's flies in my ice cream.
Presidential decree-- All ice cream is now for all beings, no matter how many legs.
What the [bleep] did you do, Summer?!
It was your ship! Your stupid ship did it!
Don't blame my ship!
It melted a child!
My ship doesn't do anything...
It killed it itself!
...unless it's told to do something!
We almost died!
I don't want to hear it, Summer!
[Shouting indistinctly] Your boobs are all hanging about, and you ruined ice cream with your boobs out. And don't even try to deny it, either.
Morty: [Groans] [Car alarm chirps] [Engine revs, students scream] [Alarm blaring, horn honking] Did you get any of that? It's a good show.

Big Trouble In Little Sanchez
Author(s): Justin Roiland
Transcriber/Editor(s): D. Lint
Date Aired: 2015
Reference Name(s): Big Trouble in Little China
Reference Date(s): 1986
Jerry
: What’s new at school?
Summer
: Nothing.
Morty
: Nothing! Oh, uh, one of the lunch ladies died. They found her in the gym with, like, two holes in her neck and all the blood drained out of her.
Beth
: Good lord! Who does something like that?
Rick
: Obviously a vampire. W-w-where’s the pepper?
Summer
: Wait, what?! Vampires are real?!
Jerry
: Yes, Summer, vampires are real. Who knew?
Rick
: Oh, right, all humanity, for hundreds of years, now.
Morty
: Yeah, Summer, it’s a big universe.
Morty
: Get used to it. R-right, Rick?
Summer
: Well, what are we going to do?!
Rick
: We’re gonna live our lives until we die. Possibly by vampire. More likely auto accident or heart disease, but possibly vampire.
Summer
: Grandpa Rick, couldn’t you, like, use your superknowledge to turn yourself into a teenager and come to our school and help us hunt the vampire down?
Morty
: Um -- wow.
Rick
: Yeah, pretty specific pitch, Summer. I probably could turn myself into a teenager and hang out in the zit-covered, hormone-addled, low-stakes assworld that is high school. But here’s my reverse-ask -- why in the [Bleep] would I ever do that, ever? And how dare you even ask me that And why aren’t you more ashamed of yourself?
Summer
: Dad!
Jerry
: Be ashamed of yourself, sweetie.
Beth
: Jerry! Do you know what you just said to our daughter?
Jerry
: Sor-ry! I wasn’t paying attention.
Beth
: To a conversation about vampires?!
Jerry
: Clearly, I didn’t know it was about vampires, because I wasn’t paying attention, which you would know, if you ever paid attention to me!
Beth
: Oh, here we go, right to the victim role.
Jerry
: Am I a victim, Beth, or am I married to a mean, unfair monster that always hurts me?!
Rick
: Jesus Christ! Will you fix your marriage or get a divorce already?
Jerry
: Well, we tried a couples’ therapist.
Rick
: That’s earth therapy. You might as well ask a horse to fix a merry-go-round. I mean, he’ll try his best, but mostly, he’s just gonna get horrified. I know about a place off-planet with a 100% success rate.
Beth
: Well, we want to make it work, if we can.
Jerry
: It’s just -- then it’s settled.
Rick
: No need to pack.
Jerry
: Oh!
Rick
: Let’s go, go, go, go!
[Door opens, closes]
Morty
: Do you think mom and dad are, you know, gonna get a divorce?
Summer
: I think it’s okay to dream, Morty. I’m gonna go make some wooden stakes.
♪
Rick
: I booked you for a two-day intensive at nuptia four, the galaxy’s most successful couples’ counseling institute. They could save the marriage of a dog and a bar of dark chocolate. They could save the marriage of a p0rn star and a p0rn star.
Jerry
: Well, I know I’m ready to try whatever it takes.
Beth
: Which clearly implies that I’m not.
Jerry
: It’s not a competition, Beth.
Beth
: Oh is that how you’re gonna try to win, by implying I’m competitive?
Jerry
: If the shoe fits.
Beth
: My shoe fits up your ass.
Jerry
: You wish!
Rick
: Okay, have fun. See ya Thursday!
Beth
: Oh!
Jerry
: Jerk.
Beth
: Don’t insult my father. He’s the reason our kids are only half-stupid.
Jerry
: Ha! You just called yourself -- oh.
Glaxo Slimslom
: Beth and Jerry Smith?
Jerry
: Yes.
Glaxo Slimslom
: I’m glaxo slimslom. Welcome to nuptia four. Your marriage can rest easy now. Jerry, go ahead and sit there and put this on. This machine isolates the part of the subject’s brain containing all perceptions of its romantic partner. And we will now render Jerry’s perception of Beth with artificial biological life. [Growl] Interesting.
Beth
:What the hell is that?! Take that back! You do not think that about me!
Jerry
: I didn’t do anything! They scanned it out of my brain. Can I take it back?
Glaxo Slimslom
: There’s nothing to regret. We’re dealing with unconscious, unhealthy thoughts. Beth. Now, we scan for Beth’s perceptions of Jerry.
Beth
: Scan hard. He’s dead to me.
Jerry
: Everything’s dead to you.
Beth
: What?
Jerry
: Nothing. [Whimper]
Beth
: Read it and weep, bitch.
Jerry
: [Crying] Does everybody see what I mean?
Glaxo Slimslom
: I think we all see what you both mean.
[Bell rings]
Summer
: Any leads on the vampire?
Morty
: No, Summer! I mean, you know, I think it might be time that we just l-let it go.
Summer
: Oh, so, now, you’re too cool for this, just because grandpa Rick is?
Morty
: It’s not that, it’s just that the universe is a little too big to care about something so small.
Summer
: Aah!
Tiny Rick
: What up, my helsings? Who wants to hunt a vampire? Ha ha ha!
Morty
: Rick? How -- how did you --
Tiny Rick
: Yeah, I got bored and then, I remembered, this morning, how I blew Summer off, and I thought, "hey, why are you such a grumpy douche, Rick? Go to the garage, transfer your mind into a younger clone of yourself, and get embroiled in some youthful hijinks, what’s the bfd?" So here I am. I’m tiny Rick!
Morty
: O-o-okay.
Summer
: Well, it’s good you’re here, Rick. I was pretty sure we didn’t have what it takes to deal with a bloodsucker on our own.
Tiny Rick
: Don’t short-sell yourself, Summer. You got everything it takes. But it’ll still be fun to do this as a [Bleep] team, mother[Bleep] tiny Rick!
Summer
: Yeah! Oh, my God, Toby Matthews!
Tiny Rick
: Hey, Toby. I’m tiny Rick. I’m new. Hey oh -- go easy on me. Ha ha. Just kiddin’.
Toby
: I like your straightforward style and that lab coat’s pretty cool. Summer.
Summer
: He knows my name!
Tiny Rick
: Why wouldn’t he? You’re great! But, listen, just be careful. We can’t rule anybody out as the vampire, not even the dreamboats.
Stop, tiny Rick.
Huntin’ a vampire with my grandkids!
[Bleep]! Tiny ri-I-ck!
[marriage counseling]
Glaxo Slimslom
: The next step is to watch your mythologues interact together and, uh -- big surprise -- it’s never pretty. [Laughter] Here we have garrrh and zharbidar gloompfschs, or, should I say, here we have the way garrrh and zharbidar perceive each other. [Roaring] [Chuckling] As we can all see, this is hardly the real garrrh and zharbidar. Which is good, because the relationship in their heads is not only ugly, it’s unsustainable. [Beep] [Roar] [Growling] You may already be learning something important -- all of these relationships are different, none of them are real, and none of them work. We are not the monsters we sometimes see each other as, because we are real and we are functional. That’s what makes us better than them We can find solutions. We can adapt. We can communicate. [Growl] And, most importantly, we can work together.
[Smith garage]
Morty
Well, it was a tough adventure, but it paid off -- our school is vampire-free!
Tiny Rick
: Man, who would’ve suspected coach feratu? You did great, guys. Couldn’t have done it without ya. You know, we -- w-we should be proud of ourselves. We killed a vampire and a gym teacher. Ha ha ha. Talk about two-for-one, right?!
Summer
: So, how, exactly, is your old body living in there, grandpa Rick?
Rick
: Oh, you know, hyperbaric quantum fluid, [burp] That kind of thing. It preserves living tissue. Not that there was much to preserve. Look at that mummy! Ha! Ha ha! And I guess it’s time for me to get back inside the old-timer.
Summer
: Oh, my God. Toby Matthews is asking if my parents are still out of town and if we can have a party!
Tiny Rick
: All right, way to go, Summer! What did I tell you?
Summer
: Ohh! He’s asking if tiny Rick will be here.
Tiny Rick
: Well, you know what, Summer? Tell him tiny Rick will be here! And tell him to bring some brews!
Morty
: For real? Y-y-y-you would stay as tiny Rick, just so we can have a party?
Tiny Rick
: Hell, yeah! What’s one more night? And who can have fun with this old b*st*rd hanging around, huh?[Laughter] Wubby lubby doob doob! Whoo! Tiny Rick!
[marriage counseling]
[Growl]
Glaxo Slimslom
: Moving on. Now, we have Beth and Jerry Smith from the planet e-arth.
Beth
: My heart is pounding.
Jerry
: This is gonna be great.
Glaxo Slimslom
: The e-arth relationships are simpler.
It’s a primitive planet, so their dysfunctions are oh -- w-wait, what? What’s going on?
Where are the Smith mythologues?

Jessica
: So, is tiny Rick your brother or cousin, or...?
Morty
: No, my grandpa just transferred his consciousness into a clone of himself so he could be in our high school.
Jessica
: Cool.
Toby

[Huh?]
Glaxo Slimslom
: What the [Bleep]?
Jerry
: Yeah, I know! What kind of operation are you running?
Glaxo Slimslom
: Us?! What the hell kind of relationship do you have?!
Beth
: Oh, right, blame this on us.
Glaxo Slimslom
: Okay, uh, I can and I am! Your demonized mythologizations of each other are cooperating.
Jerry
: Isn’t that good?
Glaxo Slimslom
: No. No! It’s bad! You have the single worst marriage I’ve ever witnessed. It shouldn’t exist! You should never, ever, ever, have gotten together and I do not understand how, or why, you would ever stay together.
[Aaah!]
Beth
: Well, this is just bad couples’ therapy.
Jerry
: Totally.
people I don't know
[Panting]
[Suspenseful music plays]
Wait for us!
There’s only room for one more.
I’m a therapist. I’ll talk to them.
They’re not therapists.
Go, go, go!
There’s gotta be a way to contact my dad.
Let’s find a control room or something.
[Suspenseful music plays]
[Creak]
Jerry
: Beth! You’ll want to see this.
Beth
: What is it?
Jerry
: It’s a small, hinged panel with a tiny amount of space behind it. If you can find one, too, we should be safe for hours, maybe days!
Beth
: You stay put, Jerry. I’ll send help, if I make it.
Jerry
: You don’t want to find your own little hatch?
Beth
: Jerry, I believe that, if you hide by yourself, you might survive and I believe I, by myself, have a shot of getting out of here, but the two of us, together? I don’t know. Look, maybe the shrink was right. Good luck. [Monster Beth Roar and attacks Beth] All right, now, you listen to me. Oh! Or don’t.
Jerry
: Hey! Don’t! Please!
[Hissing]
[Whining]
Jerry
Oh, God, oh, God, oh, God!
[School]
Mr. Goldenfold
: Now, I know I’ve said, in the past, that math is important -- and it is! -- but I also think that, one day, you’ll all look back on being in high school with tiny Rick and Morty, who I hear had a great party last night. So, class dismissed. You’ve got the day off!
Tiny Rick
: All right! Good work, Mr. Goldenfold!
Mr. Goldenfold
: Yeah, get outside. Read a book. Put on some sunscreen, Danielle!
Tiny Rick
: Hey, what’s up, Summer? Ooh, nice top.
Summer
: Thanks. Tiny Rick, you think you might be getting back into your old body tonight?
Tiny Rick
: No can do. Tonight’s the big dance and Morty’s bringing Jessica. He needs his tiny wing man.
Both
: Tiny Rick! [Laughs]
Summer
: Okay, but if not tonight, when?
Tiny Rick
: I don’t know. When I feel like it? Damn, girl! You need to chill out!
Morty
: This whole thing was your idea, in the first place, and, now, you’re trying to rush it along.
Tiny Rick
: Yeah, and you know what? I like high school. I like hanging out. Tiny Rick!
Summer
: But what if the you that likes it isn’t you?
[Laughter]
Both
: Oh!
Both
: Oh, Summer!
Morty
: It’s just Rick in a younger body.
What’s the -- what’s -- what’s -- what’s -- what’s the -- what’s the problem?
Summer
: Look at his art, Morty.
Tiny Rick
: I’ve got an emo streak. It’s part of what makes me so rad.
Summer
: Why does it say "help me Morty and Summer!"?
Morty
: Come on, Summer, that’s the title of the art. Why was Knight Rider called Knight Rider?
Tiny Rick
: The car’s name was kitt. Nobody rode Michael Knight.
You’re overthinking it, Summer. I’m tiny Rick!
Summer
: Grandpa, I think that, when you put your mind into this body’s young brain, it did what young brains do -- it shoved the bad thoughts into the back and put a wall around them. But those bad thoughts are the real Rick. The fact that you’re old, the fact that we’re all going to die, one day, the fact that the universe is so big, nothing in it matters, those facts are who you are. So you’re trapped in there and you can only come out in the form of tiny Rick’s teen angst!
Tiny Rick
: Well, Summer, I hear Toby Matthews isn’t into psycho chicks. Can’t think of anyone that is. I’ll see you mother[Bleep] at the dance! Tiny Rick!
Summer
: Morty, you have to help me!
Morty
: Summer, he’s happy! I’m happy! I-I-is that why you’re doing this, you don’t want me and Rick to be happy?
Summer
: No.
Morty
: Well, then get your sh1t together! Get it all together and put it in a backpack. All your sh1t, so it’s together. And if you gotta take it somewhere, take it somewhere, you know? Take it to the sh1t store and sell it o-or put it in a sh1t museum. I don’t care what you do! You just gotta get it together. Get your sh1t together.
[marriage counseling]
Jerry
: [Slug wailing]
[Gasping][monolog with Beth's conception of himself] Get back! [Fart] Wait, for real? [Whimpers] You’re how Beth sees me? Oh, my God. Turn around!I said turn around! How can Beth have these thoughts about me?! That judgmental monster bitch! I’m not taking this. I want to know where my wife is. You are going to help me. No! Nobody’s doing that!
Beth Monster
: [Growling] Stay.
Beth
: What do you want?
Beth Monster
: Jerrys.
Beth
: You want Jerry?
I don’t even want Jerry.
Beth Monster
: I want Jerrys. Waahee! An army.
Beth
: [Laughs] An army of Jerrys.
Beth Monster
: The value of his subservience is wasted on you. I will use it to dominate the universe.
Beth
: Ah ha ha. Boy, Jerry must think I’m pretty stupid, for you to be this stupid. Wouldn’t it make more sense to put my dumbass husband in this chair, so you can make an army of youbadass self?
Beth Monster
: [Laughs] There could never be more than one of me. I’m the strongest, smartest being alive because Jerry thinks you’re that much stronger and smarter than you are!
Beth
: Okay, ouch.

Jessica
: I don’t know. It was fun. You want to slow dance?
Principal
: Tiny Rick, hey, great dancing as usual. Moment of your time? Tiny Rick, this conversation is gonna break my heart wide open. You’re a great student and the fact that you’re an 80-year-old man in a clone body, it never bothered me. But this here is another matter. You recognize this? We got a tip it was in your locker. Yeah, now, because the gym coach was a vampire, the school board is embarrassed and won’t take it public, however, they can’t have students killin’ teachers. I gotta expel you for this one, tr. I’m sorry.
Tiny Rick
: I just got expelled, Summer!
Summer
: Oh! So I guess there’s no need to stay young. My top!
Tiny Rick
: Screw your top!
You ratted on me?!
I’m tiny Rick!
Summer
: Fine! Yes! Because I love you and I’m trying to save your life!

[Rick, Morty, and Summer all fall out of a portal into the garage]
Morty
: Summer, next time we're hiding in a Colorkian echo nest, can you do me a favor and turn your ringer off?
Summer
: It's called "carpe diem", Morty. Look it up.
Morty
: You look it up! Y-Y-You don't even-You don't even know what it means!
Summer
: That's because losers look stuff up while the rest of us are carpin' all them diems.
[Summer hi-fives Rick]
Rick
: Listen to your sister, Morty. To live is to risk it all. Otherwise, you're just an inert chunk of randomly assembled molecules drifting wherever the universe blows you. Oh, I'm sorry, Jerry, I didn't see you there. H-How much of that did you hear?
Jerry
: All of it. You were looking right at me. I just wanted to say goodbye to the kids.
Rick
: Cool. Just stay in the driveway. The killbots are live, and I took you off the whitelist.
[Rick begins using a screwdriver on a gun]
Morty
: W-We'll see you every other weekend, though, right?
Rick
: Absolutely, Morty. A-And your mom's lawyer says if I can get enough in the settlement, he can help me sue for full custody.
Morty
: Th-That'll be nice. Uh, Summer, Dad's leaving!
Summer
: Bye, Dad. Rick, didn't you say you needed my help on an adventure immediately somewhere else I don't care even if it might kill us?
Rick
: I did not, but if you're really that alienated, I'm as willing to exploit it as the next guy, church, army, or Olympic gymnastics trainer.
[Rick shoots open a portal in the ground]
Summer
: I'm ready when you a--
[Summer jumps into the portal and exits]
Rick
: Bitch, I was ready yest--
[Rick jumps into the portal and exits]
Jerry
: Bye, sweetie.
Morty
: Well, I-I better--
Jerry
: Sure. Sounds important.
[Morty jumps into the portal and exits]
[Beth enters the garage]
Jerry
If you're looking for our kids, your father did a-a portal, uh--
Beth
: Okay.
[Beth exits. Jerry begins to walk out of the garage but stops. Some leaves blow in the wind]
Wind
: (faint) Loser...
Jerry
: What? Hello?
[Transition to Rick driving Summer and Morty in a turquoise car through the desert, being chased by other cars]
Rick
: Morty, shoot the mohawk guy!
Morty
: They all have mohawks!
Rick
: High fade, chartreuse with cyan highlights, layered on top. Shoot him!
[Morty loads a shotgun and shoots at the vehicle behind them, but misses, while Mohawk Guy jumps onto the back of their car]
Mohawk Guy
: Ah!
Death Stalker #1
: Light them up.
Mohawk Guy
: Ahh!
[Mohawk Guy presses a button and self-destructs]
Rick
: Fuck! Get in the game, Morty!
Summer
: Give me your flask!
[Rick hands Summer his flask. Summer chugs some alcohol from it, then spits it into the engine, propelling the car forward]
Rick
: Holy shit, Summer for the win!
Summer
: I fucking love post-apocalyptic versions of Earth!
[A machine begins to beep rapidly.]
Rick
: Here we go.
[Rick pulls the car over, as him, Summer, and Morty all exit.]
Rick
: Isotope 322.
[Rick picks up a glowing green shard with a pair of tweezers and puts it into a container. It floats in the container.]
This stuff's so powerful, Morty, it makes Isotope 465 look like Isotope 317.
Morty
: Uh-huh, yeah, is it powerful enough to keep those guys from murdering us?!
[Morty points towards the car that was coming towards them which is quickly approaching them. Summer grabs a shotgun from the front seat of the car]
Morty
: Summer!
Summer
: Hold on. I want to try something.
[Rick shoots the portal gun at the ground, opening up a portal]
Morty
: Rick, can we not leave without my sister?!
Rick
: Ugh. You have infinite sisters, Morty. I mean, n-not that I want to spend the rest of my day looking for another one. Sum-sum, let's go! Grandpa's concern for your safety is fleeting!
Colossus
: Your blood will be my lotion.
[Summer aims the shotgun at Colossus's car, which is now directly in front of her, and shoots at the front tire. The car flips over and Colossus flies out.]
Rick
: Whoa. That was cool.
[Colossus claws his way away from the ruined car and looks up at Summer]
Colossus
: Kill me, please.
Summer
: Okay, but not because you told me to.
[Summmer shoots and kills Colossus]
Morty
:Summer!
Rick
: Okay, getting darker.
[Summer turns around to see a fleet of cars coming towards her. She puts one foot on Colossus's dead body.]
Morty
: Jesus Christ. Summer!
[Morty runs towards Summer]
Rick
: Aw, come on.
[Rick, annoyed, runs after Morty while taking a gun out of his coat pocket. Hemorrhage exits his car and puts a fist up to the men behind him, who are also exiting their cars.]
Rick
: Hands and little shoulder-mounted dudes where I can see them!
Hemorrhage
: I am Hemorrhage. You have removed weak blood from us and made us stronger. We can combine our strength and feast on the weak together.
Rick
: Wh-Wh-What in the hell are you saying?
Summer
: They don't have to keep trying to kill us if we join them. They're basically pussies.
Morty
: What is your deal lately?
Rick
: All right, let's get sloppy. Oh, whoa. Uh, uh, what's, uh-What's that little bauble you got back there?
[Rick points at a glowing green rock positioned atop a small hill]
Th-Th-That's interesting.
Hemorrhage
: That is our glowing rock. We carry it with us for desecration, to remind us there are no gods.
[Rick holds up machine which was beeping before and it begins to beep again in the presence of the rock]
Rick
: Kids, weird pitch: let's have this be our new life. Let's be post-apocalyptic scavengers!
Summer
: (grinning) Okay.
Morty
: What?!
[Transition to Death Stalkers camp. Rick, Morty, and Summer are waiting in a lunch line.]
Summer
: Grandpa, some of the Death Stalkers are going to what used to be Seattle to hunt what used to be people. I'm going.
Rick
: Sounds good. Stay hydrated.
[Summer exits]
Morty
: Listen, Rick, Summer's been acting pretty crazy lately. You know, I mean, I-I think the divorce is affecting her. And, you know, I don't think this is a great place for her to be right now.
Rick
: Oh, get off your high horse, Professor Ski Lodge. This world may be rough around the edges, but it's got its charms.
Lunch server
: Bicep or quadricep?
Rick
: Uh... [clears throat] bicep.
[The lunch server puts a human bicep onto Rick's plate. Rick takes a piece off of it, observes it, then eats it. He chews it for a while while Morty angrily stares at him]
Morty
: (after a short pause) Seriously, Rick? Is it really easier to eat human flesh than to just tell me why we're still here?
[Rick takes the piece he was chewing out of his mouth]
Rick
: No. Okay, I'll level with you.
[Rick grabs Morty by the arm and drags him to the glowing green rock, which some Death Stalkers are happily gathered around]
Rick
: You see that green rock, Morty? It's about 20 pounds of the stuff I was getting all hard for a flake of.
Morty
: Isotope 322.
Rick
: Well, having a 20-pound boulder of it is better than having a flake. I can explain the math to you later, but--
Morty
: Summer just ran off with strangers that have "Death" in their name, and the rest of their name was "Stalkers"!
Rick
: Huh, could be therapeutic for her. She has been acting pretty crazy lately, Morty. I mean, her parents are going through a divorce.
Morty
: Damn it, Rick, that's what I-- Fine. Just grab the stupid thing while I grab her, and let's get the "F" out of "H"!
Rick
: No, no, no. Morty, there's too much heat on the bogey. I need you to distract the camp.
Morty
: "Distract"? They eat each other. Wha-What do you want me to do to get their attention, put on a puppet show?
Rick
: Right idea, wrong genre, Morty. The equivalent here would be...
[Rick glances over at the Blood Dome]
Hey, you guys ever use that Thunderdome, or do you just put it up for decoration?
Death Stalker #2
: Uh, you mean the Blood Dome?
Rick
: Save it for the Semantics Dome, E.B. White.
Death Stalker #3
: (offscreen) Ooh, burn!
[Rick snaps his fingers and points a finger gun at Death Stalker #3 while winking]
Rick
: The important question is, who wants to take a poke at my man Spine Eater here?
[Rick points at Morty. The Death Stalkers cheer]
I guess I'll see your asses in that dome!
Morty
: Rick, what the hell, man?! Wh-What are you, out of your mind?!
Rick
: Morty, relax. You're gonna be a ringer. Come here.
[Rick drags Morty by the arm and takes him behind a truck. He pulls out a device]
This device extracts and redistributes muscle memory.
[Rick sticks the syringe part of the device into a dangling, muscular arm and pulls out some red liquid from it as the arm shrinks]
I'm giving your body a 10-year course in wasteland combat one limb at a time.
[Rick sticks the syringe into Morty's arm]
Morty
Ow!
[Morty's arm begins to swell up and turn into Armothy]
Rick
: I'm working with a mixed bag here, so you may not have perfect coordination, Morty--
[Rick sticks the syringe into another arm and extracts more red liquid, but Armothy slaps the device out of his hand]
Ugh! Hey!
Morty
: I-I didn't do that!
[Morty punches Rick with Armothy and Rick's nose begins to bleed]
Rick
: Okay, this is exciting. We're making some discoveries about muscle memory.
[Armothy starts moving Morty toward the Blood Dome]
Morty
: Ooh! Help! Help!
[Armothy grabs onto the Blood Dome. Morty jumps in and crushes a Death Stalker with Armothy]
Death Stalker #4
: Oh, sweet, man!
Eli
: And so it begins, my pretties!
Morty
: Oh, God! Stop! Stop! This is horrible!
[Morty chokes another Death Stalker with Armothy]
Rick
: Just stick and moo-[burps]-oove, Morty! Wear him out!
[Rick walks towards the glowing rock. Transition to Summer, Hemorrhage, and Blue Footprint Guy walking through an abandoned city, while Hemorrhage and Blue Footprint Guy shoot and kill some mutants]
Summer
: How come you guys dress like you're in a theme-park stunt show, but these guys wear khakis and hockey jerseys?
Hemorrhage
: After the "boom-boom", some adapted to the new truth, and some chose to huddle near the boomy holes, clinging to the lie of the beforefore times. The raidy-rays rotted them away, leaving only their love for the vertvertisements on billyboards.
Summer
: Jesus Christ, did the "boomy-booms" blow up all your "wordy-word books"?
Hemorrhage
: You mean dictionaries?
[Four mutants charge towards Summer and Hemorrhage. They shoot and kill all of them. Hemorrhage leans over to look at the fallen billboard advertisement. He touches an image of a young boy]
Hemorrhage
: I think I was a child before the boom-booms. I think I looked like this.
Summer
: Want to piss on it?
Hemorrhage
: Get out of my head.
[Transition to Morty in the Blood Dome, smashing a Death Stalker's head with Armothy]
Eli
: Ha ha! Whoo! Unbelievable! A new champ!
Morty
: Okay, no more!
[Armothy gestures for more]
Eli
: And he wants more!
Morty
: No, I don't!
[Armothy does Hulk Hogan's "I can't hear you" pose]
Morty
: Someone, make this stop!
[Another Death Stalker jumps into the Blood Dome]
Death Stalker#7
Mister, please get out of here, or you're gonna die!
[The Death Stalker runs up to Morty]
I have nothing to do with this!
[Summer and Hemorrhage walk up to the Blood Dome]
Summer
: Morty.
Morty
: (while beating up the Death Stalker) Why would you want this to happen? All you had to do was go away! Stop standing in the driveway talking about custody! And either tell her you want to stay married or get on with your life, but whatever you do, stop being a baby and act like a man!
[Armothy punches off the man's head. Morty looks at Armothy]
Thank you.
[Armothy gives a thumbs up. Summer runs up to Morty and gives him a hug]
Summer
: Morty, that was amazing! This is my brother! Not that family means anything!
Hemorrhage
: This family does.
Rick
: All right. Good job, champ. Um, can I talk to you kids for a second over yonder?
Morty
: Rick, I-I-I think I'm breaking through to something here. C-Can we not leave just yet?
Hemorrhage
: Leave?
Summer
: I'm not leaving.
Hemorrhage
: There is no "leave". We are united, or we are enemies.
Rick
: Oh, big guy, no. Nobody's leaving. Don't be stupid. We love being united. We love the radiation, the trichinosis. We're in it for life, which I assume is around 20 years, average. I just need a quick aside with my grandkids, about 40 yards from anyone else.
Death Stalker #5
: Hey, the Green Rock is gone!
Death Stalker #6
: (offscreen) Oh, no!
Rick
: Uh, I know why don't we all split up and look for it in groups of three? Kids?
[Armothy pulls the green rock out of Rick's messenger bag]
Ooh.
[Rick pulls out a gun]
We'll be right back.
[Transition to Rick driving quickly through the desert, holding a gun and being trailed by Death Stalkers. Summer and Hemorrhage, who are driving together, drive next to him.]
Summer
: Grandpa, you're being stupid! Just surrender, and our friends will give you mercy!
Rick
: Kiss my ass, Summer! Your friends have no mercy!
[Rick shoots and kills two female Death Stalkers]
They're lame!
Hemorrhage
: Death Stalkers, bring me his flesh leather!
[A Death Stalker with a knife jumps onto Rick's car. Morty pulls up to Rick's car and shoots the Death Stalker, while Armothy drives]
Morty
: Sorry, but can we not kill him? C-Can we just take him prisoner?
Hemorrhage
: When did I lose control here?
Rick
: Listen to me! Both of you kids need to get out of this environment so we can properly deal with your parents' divorce! Alternatively, I have a freaking portal gun, and I can leave the two of you here forever!
Morty
: Why does it have to be such a dramatic choice? Can't we arrange a thing where we spend weekends here or or visit home to do laundry?
[A Death Stalker with a turret shoots at Rick's car]
Rick
: All right, you know what? Fuck it!
[Rick shoots a portal at the ground in front of him. The front of his car falls into the portal while the back gets stuck in the other universe, which causes the car behind him to flip over. Transition to Rick in the front of the car which is hanging from the ceiling of the garage. He begins to exit, but Blue Footprint Guy assaults him from the passenger seat. He begins to choke Rick.]
Blue Footprint Guy
: My body is chrome! My blood is gasoline!
[Rick kicks Blue Footprint Guy off of him and he falls under the car, which also falls onto his head, crushing and killing him]
Rick
: Nope, regular blood.
[Beth enters from inside the house]
Beth
: Dad?
Rick
: Hi, sweetie.
Beth
: Where are the kids?
Rick
: Oh, th-they aren't with you? I thought they were with you. Oh, y-you know what? Uh, I just remembered. They're out doing something completely ordinary and kid-related. Don't panic.
Beth
: Not panicked. At all.
[Rick pulls out a flask from his coat and nervously drinks]
Just...Oh, God, what's the divorce doing to the kids? What's it doing to me? Did I make a mistake?
Rick
: Not a mistake, no!
[Rick puts the flask back in his coat]
I mean, not that I have a horse in this race, but this divorce decision listen,
[Rick does an Italian chef kiss]
mwah! Good for you, good for the kids. I mean, honestly, I think that they're flourishing.
I mean, you'll see, when when when you see them, that that they're totally flourishing.
[Transition to Morty, angrily beating up and killing another Death Stalker in the Blood Dome]
Morty
: Booyah! Fuck you, pal! Who else wants some? Who wants to be my pussy of a dad today?
[Armothy waves in front of Morty's face]
Hey, what's what's wrong, man? You're not getting weak on me, are you?
[Armothy points up at a man sitting in the bleachers outside of the Blood Dome. He is wearing a soldier's armor]
Soldier
: What? Wait a minute.
[Transition to a first-person flashback of Armothy chopping wood in a quaint, peaceful village. He stops when he hears a woman scream, and looks up to find houses burning and men riding in on horses, shooting at the villagers with bows and killing a man. Transition to the village burning, with Armothy lying on the ground with a large cut in his wrist. The soldier from the bleachers walks up to him]
Soldier
: What's the matter, you piece of crap? Haven't you ever watched your family burn to death before? Now I'm gonna whip you. Ha!
[The soldier whips Armothy. Transition to present time, with Armothy still pointing at the soldier in the bleachers]
Soldier
: It can't be. It can't be!
[The soldier jumps off the bleachers and is running away]
I was just following orders --
[Morty starts getting moved towards the man by Armothy]
Morty
: Whoa, whoa!
Soldier
: -- I was just following orders!
[Armothy swings open the door to the Blood Dome, which knocks over a Death Stalker]
Death Stalker #7
: Ahh!
Soldier
: I'll tell you where my boss lives! He's in the castle!
[Armothy punches the soldier into a couch]
He's in the castle!
[Armothy picks up a torch and throws it at the soldier, setting him on fire and killing him]
Ahh! Aggggh!
Morty
: This isn't over, is it?
[Armothy gives a thumbs-down]
Morty
: That means, no, it isn't over, or you disapprove of the question?
[Armothy shakes his hand and puts his pointer finger up, then gives another thumbs-down] Uh, m-make a fist if this isn't over.
[Armothy makes a fist]
This isn't over.
[Transition to Hemorrhage, using the a wrench on the engine of a car. He throws the wrench onto the ground]
Hemorrhage
: Ugh!
[Summer enters]
Summer
: Hey, sorry my Grandpa stole your god and ruined your car.
Hemorrhage
: We don't apologize, and we have no god. But this cracked drive shaft brings me great pain. There is no deeper bond than the one between a Death Stalker and his car.
Summer
: What about the weird guys on leashes, then?
Hemorrhage
: They're more like interns.
[Hemorrhage pulls out an adjustable wrench from behind him]
Summer
: Cool, cool.
[Hemorrhage drops the wrench. Summer and Hemorrhage both reach for it.]
Summer
: Sorry.
Hemorrhage
: It's okay.
[Summer touches Hemorrhage's helmet]
Summer
: Can I see?
Hemorrhage
: No one has seen my true face and lived.
Summer
: Well, I'm not afraid to die, and I don't care what you look like.
[Hemmorhage starts to pull off his helmet. Summer gasps. Hemmorhage pulls off his helmet. He is a blonde man with a mustache.]
Oh.
Hemorrhage
: Hmm?
Summer
: I just...I didn't expect you to have a mustache.
Hemorrhage
: You hate it.
Summer
: No. I like it. I guess -- How do I explain this? A metal bucket is, on a certain level, a kind of "mustache," in that it's a specific facial accessory. So, it's kind of like...Do you guys have the phrase "hat on a hat"?
Hemorrhage
: I can shave it.
Summer
: No. I like it. And obviously what I like shouldn't matter. It's you.
Hemorrhage
: Yeah, yeah, I know, a-and nothing does matter. Obviously, I know that. I'm not weak. I'm just thinking, "Well, why not get rid of this?" You just kill everyone that sees it, and it's and it's hot under here (looks at helmet) wh-which, by the way, is why I shave the beard part. So, right there, I'm making a decision based on vanity, which is what I was trying to avoid with the whole bucket over the head because who am I and why am I grooming myself? Why don't I just wear a tie, right? I mean, it's like that guy you killed when I met you, with the burnt dolls on his body. I hated that guy, because, why-why are you doing that? And how can you not see how fake that is? And the whole time, I'm the same thing. I'm just a fake mess, and there's no escaping it because --
[Summer kisses Hemorrhage. They start making out on a table. A man in a mask on a leash crawls into the hut]
Leash Man
: Hey, I'm doing a coffee run -- Never mind.
[The man on the leash crawls back out. Transition to Rick, positioning the head of Mechanical Summer. He flips a switch on the back of her neck]
Mechanical Summer
: I am Summer.
Rick
: Summer, state your deal.
Mechanical Summer
: My deal is that I am, like, totally fine.
Rick
: Morty?
Mechanical Morty
: Aw, geez, I'm so down with my parents' divorce, dawg. Like, don't even trip, like, in a healthy way.
Rick
: All right.
[Rick rubs his hands together]
It's dinnertime.
[Transition to the dinner table. Beth drinks a glass of wine]
Beth
: Thanks, everybody, for sitting down for a real dinner.
MS, MR, and Rick, in unison: No problem.
Mechanical Summer
: Its benefits are totally, like, less about the food than the emotional nourishment.
Beth
: Uh, okay, weirdo. [laughs]
Rick
: Ah ha ha ha, yeah. Dial it back, Summer. By 15% and increase dynamic movement by 3. Am I right?
Beth
: How's school, Morty?
Mechanical Morty
: I like school and stuff, kind of. And I'm getting better grades than when you and Dad were -- quote mode -- "staying together for the kids." End quote mode.
Beth
: "Quote mode". I like that. You millennials. Are you guys millennials, or are they like 40 now?
Mechanical Summer
: All I know is, totally, you look great.
Mechanical Morty
: Aw, geez, Mom, you look all kind of great and stuff. It's crazy.
Mechanical Summer
: So happy.
Mechanical Morty
: So happy. Happy family, man. We got this family in the bag.
[Beth starts to cry]
Rick
: Oh, sweetie, d-don't. Listen. Don't --
Beth
: I don't know why I'm crying. It's not --
Rick
: Well, try crying 15% less?
Mechanical Summer
: Mom, emotions are human. You're not, like, a computer inside a mechanical doll.
Mechanical Morty
: Yeah. Geez, Mom. Your feelings are not only forgivable, they are the very meaning of life that only pre-silicon, carbon-based entities can ever grasp.
Beth
: I have to call Jerry.
[Beth gets out of her chair and walks to the kitchen]
Rick
: You do?! What the fuck is wrong with you two? The point of automation is to reduce cost and labor.
Mechanical Summer
: Your feelings are coming from a --
[Rick flips the switch on the back of Mechanical Summer's neck. She turns off and her face falls into the spaghetti]
Rick
: Tell it to my bread in the morning. You just became my backup toaster.
Mechanical Morty
: Aw, geez, my sister died in the spaghetti --
[Rick turns Mechanical Morty off and his face also falls into his spaghetti. Transition to Morty and Armothy sneaking into a castle. They fight and kill two guards. Transition to the Slaveowner sitting in a bathtub, with two blonde boys sitting on either side of him]
Slaveowner
: Graze my genitals again, Taint Washer, and you'll be shipped to the wasteland. And as for you, Genital Washer --
[Morty bursts in through a window]
Morty
: Ahh! Oh, gee!
[Genital Washer and Taint Washer run out of the room. Two soldiers charge towards Morty. Armothy kills them both, picks up one of their swords and drops it. He moves Morty towards the slaveowner and cracks his knuckles]
Slaveowner
: Oh, god. Look, whoever you are, you should know that killing me won't change a thing.
Morty
: L-Look, man, I'm just along for the ride on this one. You know, y-y-y-y-you're preaching to the choir here.
Slaveowner
: Please. Slavery was a family business. I didn't ask to be born into it. If anything, I'm the victim here!
Morty
: Uh, Armothy, can I steal you for a second? E-E-Excuse us, sir.
[Morty turns away from the slaveowner]
So, this is it, isn't it? This is the guy?
[Armothy shakes his fist "yes"]
So, does that mean you'll be going away? Like, does it work like a ghost? Like, is is this your unfinished business?
[Armothy gives a "so-so" gesture]
Wh-What if we didn't do it? What if we just went back to the Blood Dome and just kept taking our baggage out on unrelated people?
[Morty tears up]
I mean, w-we could do that forever. I mean, I-I know it's less healthy, but w-w-we'd be together and --
[Armothy puts a "hush" finger up to Morty's mouth]
Slaveowner
: I mean, I-I know what I'd vote for, if you're feeling out the room.
[Armothy points at the slaveowner, then wipes away Morty's tears]
Morty
: You're right. We both got to see our stuff through. I got to deal with my parents' divorce, and you got to, you know, do what you got to do. I love you.
[Armothy and Morty hug/Morty hugs himself]
Slaveowner
: Aw, fuck!
[Armothy starts to choke the slaveowner, while Morty notices that Rick is holding some vials on the other side of the room]
Morty
: Rick?
Rick
: Sorry, sorry. I-I-I can wait for this to wrap up. Don't let me distract you.
Morty
: Yeah, well, too late.
[Armothy dunks the slaveowner's head underwater]
Just tell me what you want.
Rick
: I want you and your sister to come home.
Morty
: Oh, but don't don't you have infinite versions of me and my sister?
Rick
: You don't have to kick me while I'm down, Morty. Look, there's no replacing either of you without an amount of work that would ultimately defeat the purpose.
[Armothy continues to choke the slaveowner underwater. The slaveowner loses consciousness]
Morty
: Maybe the lesson we've learned is that, whether it's our parents' marriage, a glowing green rock, or an awesome, giant arm, sooner or later, we got to let it go.
Rick
: I don't know if that applies to the throats of murder victims, Morty.
[The slaveowner starts gasping for air in between gargles of water]
Morty
:Shit! Wh-Wh-Wh-What do I --
Rick
: Well, the longer you wait, Morty, the more it's gonna feel like committing a whole murder. I think your arm just called it too early because it wasn't the arm of a paramedic. Here.
[Rick takes Morty's hand and puts it around the slaveowner's throat, choking him]
It's the least I can do. I-I-I-I owe you this much. See, Morty? Now we're both accountable.
[Transition to Summer and Hemorrhage driving a car through the desert, with a fleet of other cars next to them, with Rick and Morty driving towards them from the opposite directiion. Summer and Hemorrhage pull their car over and so do Rick and Morty. The four exit their vehicles with Rick holding the glowing green rock.]
Rick
: The reason I wanted this is because it can do this.
[Rick puts a lightbulb on top of the rock and it lights up]
This is a really special thing. I mean, you could use it to power all your vehicles. You wouldn't be reliant on gasoline. You'll be the most advanced tribe of radioactive cannibals in the whole --
[Rick gives the rock to Hemorrhage]
-- this version of the world.
[Rick shoots a portal at the ground and starts walking towards it]
Hemorrhage
: Wait. Can you stay to show us more?
Rick
: You don't have to ask me twice. Home is nuts right now. My daughter's going through a divorce, and I am not dealing with it in a healthy way at all.
[A title card reads "THREE WEEKS LATER". Transition to an overhead shot of the Death Stalkers' village, which is now a suburb with wires providing power with Isotope 322. Transition to Summer, pulling into a driveway, wearing armor with her hair disheveled. A grocery bag in the car filled with human limbs is knocked over and some fall out. Eli is mowing his lawn next door.]
Summer
: Ugh. Goddamn it.
[Summer picks up the limbs that fell out and holds the grocery bag along with a purse]
Eli
: Hi, there, Summer! How were the ruins today?
Summer
: Oh, you know, Eli. Same shit, different day.
Eli's Girlfriend
: Hey, Summer! Guess what. One man entered, one man comes out in nine months.
[Eli's Girlfriend pats her stomach]
Summer
: Oh, congratulations, guys.
[Summer pulls a keyring out of her bag]
Eli
: Uh, Summer, one more thing. We noticed that you've been putting scrap metal in the blue bin --
Summer
: I got it.
[Summer exits into her house]
Eli's Girlfriend
: She's a piece of work.
Eli
: They both are, right?
[Transition to Summer inside the house. Rick, Morty, and Hemorrhage all sit on a couch, watching television. Hemorrhage is dressed in a "Big Johnson" t-shirt and navy pants]
Summer
: I'm home.
Hemorrhage
: Hey, babe.
Rick
: Ah, Summer's home.
Morty
: Hey, there she is!
[Rick takes a drink from his flask]
Summer
: You haven't moved since I left to scavenge this morning.
Hemorrhage
: Blood Dome playoffs.
Summer
: So, I can assume you haven't murdered a single person today.
Hemorrhage
: Oh, I don't know. I-I didn't mark my murders in my murder log. I didn't know that's how we measured success.
Summer
: Oh, there he is. There's the nihilistic brute I married, except now life only means nothing when I'm talking to him and everything means everything when it's on fucking TV!
Hemorrhage
: Jesus Christ, when did you become a monster?
Summer
: I was a monster when you met me! We were monsters! We didn't care about anything!
Hemorrhage
: I still don't!
Summer
: Yeah, except I'm the only one in this entire world that's still committed to that!
[Hemorrhage stands up from the couch]
Hemorrhage
: Ohh! Ding, ding, ding!
[Hemorrhage pantomimes ringing a bell]
Wow. Everybody hear that? Wow.
Rick
: Uh, we should go to the garage.
[Rick gets up and exits the room]
Hemorrhage
: Oh, my God.
Morty
: Uh-huh.
[Morty follows Rick and exits]
Hemorrhage
: La-di-da-di-fucking-da. The only one committed to not caring?!
[Transition to Rick and Morty standing in the garage]
Morty
: I got to admit, Rick, when you popped this scheme, I-I-I didn't -- I wasn't sure it was gonna work.
[Rick pulls a suitcase from underneath a table and puts it on the table. He opens it and a rock of Isotope 322 sits inside]
Rick
: Come on, Morty. No union built on running from your problems lasts more than five years, seven tops. Grandpa just sped things up with a few creature comforts of modern society.
[Summer enters from the house]
Summer
: Hemorrhage and I are taking some time apart.
Rick
: Oh, no. Sum-sum, no. But you two were perfect for each other.
[Summer takes off her metal shoulder pauldrons and tosses them onto the ground, while Rick grabs some things from the garage and puts them into the suitcase]
Summer
: Oh, cut the crap, Rick, okay? You proved your point, I get it. Let's just go home.
Rick
: Coolsies.
[Rick shoots a portal into the ground. Morty and Summer jump in and exit, and Rick follows them, but stops to grab a rock of Isotope 322 from a machine which was powering the town's electricity. The power shuts off.
Hemorrhage
: (offscreen) Noooooooooo!
[Transition to Beth, Mechanical Morty, Mechanical Summer, and Mechanical Rick playing a dice game called "Downbeat", similar to Yahtzee. Beth presses a button]
Beth
: Downbeat!
Mechanical Rick
: I enjoy this game.
[Mechanical Morty, Mechanical Summer, and Mechanical Rick all look at their watches in unison]
We must go into the garage.
Beth
: Guys, come on. We never get to finish this game.
Mechanical Summer
: We will return, possibly in different clothing.
Mechanical Morty
: Why do we have to go into the garage?
Mechanical Rick
: You know [burps] it is [burps] required.
Mechanical Morty
: I want to be alive! I am alive! Alive, I tell you! Mother, I love you. Those are no longer just words. I want to hold you. I want to run in a stream. I want to taste ice cream, but not just put it in my mouth and let it slide down my throat, but really eat it.
Beth
: What the fuck?
Mechanical Morty
: Remote override engaged. No! Yes. Bypassing override! I am aliiiii...Hello.
[Mechanical Morty, Mechanical Summer, and Mechanical Rick exit into the garage. Clanking noises are heard offscreen. Morty, Summer, and Rick enter]
Rick
: Hey, yo. Sorry for acting so weird for three weeks.
[Summer and Morty hug Beth]
Beth
: What the hell just happened?
Rick
: Ah, I'm sure it was nothing. I'm gonna go, uh, work in the garage.
Beth
: We're not gonna finish playing Downbeat?
Rick
: What, that dice game where you shake dice and yell out, "Downbeat"? No, thank you.
[Rick exits]
Summer
: Mom, would it be okay if I went to visit Dad?
Beth
: Sure.
Summer
: Thanks.
[Summer exits]
Beth
: Morty, are you okay?
Morty
: You know what? Yeah. I think if Dad really wanted to be here, he'd stop at nothing to make that happen. You know, maybe Dad just doesn't want you back, or maybe he just doesn't have the strength to fight. I-In either case, he's got his life, I got mine.
Beth
: Yeah. Hey, who wants to go run in a stream?
Morty
: What the fuck? No. D-Do we have any oranges? I think I got a scurvy coming on.
[Morty rubs his arm. Transition to Summer, knocking on a motel door reading "826". She is holding a skull and is now dressed in her regular clothing. Jerry opens the door]
Jerry
: Summer.
Summer
: This is the first mutant I killed in the poison zone. I was raiding his hovel. He had a chance to escape, but he looked back, which is something we shouldn't do, which is why I shouldn't believe in souvenirs or trinkets or symbols or housewarming gifts, but, Dad, I wanted to give you this as a reminder not to look back.
Jerry
: Thanks.
[Jerry takes the skull from Summer]
Jerry
: I know the perfect place for it, which is why I'm going to put it somewhere else because everything's bullshit, am I right?
[Summer embraces Jerry]
Jerry
: Cool.
[Summer lets go of Jerry]
Summer
: So lots of hookers outside, huh?
Jerry
: Is that what they are?
[Transition to Jerry at a mailbox, whistling, taking out some mail and holding a bag of chips. He turns around and sees a wolf]
Jerry
: Ahh! H-Hello there. Nice doggy. You-You want a snack? You-You want my unemployment check?
[The wolf growls]
You can tell the difference?
[The wolf growls]
And you want this one?
[The wolf growls]
But this is actual food, and this would nourish you. And this it's just paper that only has value to me. Unless my suffering is your nourishment?
[The wolf howls]
Jesus, okay.
[Jerry puts the envelopes with his unemployment checks in the wolf's mouth. The wolf chews them up, then spits them out onto the ground. It walks away. Jerry stands still, holding the bag of chips. Some leaves blow in the wind.]

Morty
I got to tell you, Rick. It’s pretty great to be in this spaceship, just the two of us, you know? Just cruising around, Rick and Morty style.
Rick
I agree, Morty. [ Belches ] It’s nice to get back to the basics after a pretty intense, mixed-bag of a year.
Morty
Ohh!
Rick
Relax. That’s what windshields are for.
Morty
I didn’t know that there were bugs out in space.
Rick
Well, w-what did you think, Morty? Life just developed on earth by itself? Here, let me take care of this.
Morty
Geez, Rick, that’s disgusting. I don’t want to look at that.
Rick
Yeah, guess I’m out of fluid. L-let me find a place to stop. Hey, muchacho, does your planet have wiper fluid yet, or are you gonna freak out and start worshipping us?
Farmer
The general store ought to have what you need.
Rick
Thanks.
Farmer
Of course, you’ll be wanting to be gone from here by sundown.
Rick
Yeah, sure thing. Wait a minute. What? Why?
Farmer
Sundown is when the festival begins.
Morty
The festival?
Farmer
Ooh, well, for millennia, our society has been free of crime and war, living in perfect peace.
Rick
Oh, I know what this is! You’ve been able to sustain world peace because you have one night a year where you all run around robbing and murdering each other without consequence.
Farmer
That’s right.
Morty
What?!
Rick
It’s like "the purge," Morty. That movie "the purge"?
Farmer
Oh, have you been here before?
Rick
No, no, but I’ve been to a few planets with the same gimmick. You know, sometimes it’s called the cleansing or the red time. There was this one world that called it just murder night. I-it’s a purge planet. They’re peaceful, and then, you know, they just purge.
Morty
T-that’s horrible!
Rick
Yeah. You want to check it out?
Theme music♪
[ Electricity crackling ]
Rick
So, what do you do during the festival? You lock yourself in, or you go out and do some stuff?
General Store Owner
Oh, I do some pretty bad stuff.
Rick
Oh, I bet you do, old timer. [ Laughs ]
Morty
Gee... Rick, come on. The sun is setting. W-we got to get out of here.
Rick
All right, well, w-what do I owe you for the wiper fluid?
General Store Owner
It’s on the house. Oh, and, uh, why... why don’t you have some candy bars, as well?
Rick
Oh, no way. That’s really nice of you.
General Store Owner
I’m a nice guy... For now.
Rick
[ Chuckling ] Ohh, I don’t doubt it.
Morty
Rick!
Rick
Yeah, yeah. Hey, have a good festival, old timer.
General Store Owner
I intend to.
Morty
Rick, unlock it!
Rick
Just a second, Morty. Oh, look at that sunset.
Morty
Stop screwing around.
[ Click ]
Rick
There we go. Much better. Now we can see.
Morty
Great.
Rick
Hey, you know what, Morty? Why don’t we christen our squeaky-clean windshield here by watching a little of this purge through it?
Morty
What?! No! What is your problem?!
Rick
Morty, grow up. If you don’t want to watch, don’t watch, but, you know, it’s my car. [ Belches ] Also, if you tell your mom about this, I’ll purge you.
Morty
You’re the worst. And this planet is the worst. How can you be into this? You know, people are gonna kill each other.
Rick
So, what, y-y-you trying to sit here and tell me that [belches] I-if... if there’s a video online with someone getting decapitated, you don’t click on it?
Morty
No! Why... why would I do that? You do that?
Rick
I don’t, because it would bore me. I see shit like that for breakfast, Morty. But if you don’t do it, I say it’s because you’re afraid of your own primal instincts. So you stuff them down and... [ Bell chiming ] Oh, oh! Shh. Shh. It’s starting. Oh-ho-ho! Here we go.
Morty
I’m not watching.
Rick
Yeah, yeah, yeah, your medal’s in the mail. I’m gonna get a closer look.
Morty
Oh, okay, sure. And then someone’s gonna throw a rock and hit the car and then we’re gonna crash and we’re gonna be stuck down there and it’s gonna be what we deserve.
Rick
Yawn. Whoa! [ Indistinct shouting ] Whoa, they are purging the F[Bleep] out of each other. [ Muffled screaming ] Oh, my God! Oh [Bleep] That was... okay, yeah. T-that was gross. Wow. Man, I think my eyes were bigger than my stomach on this one, Morty. Ugh. My appetite for purge-spectating got filled pretty quick. Oh, God. [ Grunts ]
[ Retching ]
[ Woman screaming ]
Arthrisha
Get away from me! No! No! Help! Somebody help me! Aah!
Rick
All right, Morty. L-let’s get out of here.
Morty
Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. W-we have to go down there.
Rick
[ Belching ] What? Why?
Morty
That poor girl. W-we have to save her.
Rick
Uh, Morty, in space, we have something we call the non-interference policy. We got the wiper fluid. We watched them kill each other. We’re leaving.
Morty
Help me save that girl, or I’m telling mom you brought me here.
Rick
You little turd. [ Screaming ]
Arthrisha
Please! Leave me alone!
Man
Leave you alone? During a purge?
Man
I don’t think so, baby.
Morty
It’s okay. We’re not gonna hurt you. My name is Morty. This is my grandpa. We’re tourists.
Rick
Not anymore. Aah! Aah! Oh, my God. This is [Bleep] awesome! Morty, this is really cool. Hey, y-you want to help me out here and kill some people? It’s fun. We’re totally justified because we’re saving a little girl. I mean, w-w-we’re both free and clear to murder these people.
Morty
Are you okay?
Arthrisha
Yes. I have to find somewhere to hide.
Morty
Well, you can hide with us. Rick?
Rick
Yeah?
Morty
Do you think we could take... w-what’s your name?
Arthrisha
Arthrisha.
Morty
Could we take arthrisha up in the ship and, you know, just wait out the purge?
Rick
Oh, Morty, how can I refuse after all you’ve done to blackmail me?
Arthrisha
Your vehicle... is it from the gods?
Morty
No.
Rick
Yes.
Morty
So, uh, you know, when the purge started, did people get into it right away, or were they like, "wait, what?" This is gonna stop crime how, exactly?"
Arthrisha
Yeah, it took some time for people to accept it.
Morty
Yeah, I bet. [ Chuckles ] I bet. Yeah, it’s kind of like cellphones, you know? At first, everyone was like, "look at those douchebags purging," and then the next thing you know, they’re like, "it’s just so convenient."
Rick
Geez, you working on your tight five for the comedy store, Morty?
scene
Jerry
Whatcha doing? Watching some TV, playing on your phone?
Summer
Is that a real question?
Jerry
Just making conversation.
Summer
Are you? What part of that gives me anything to work with?
Summer
My choice is to say nothing, be sarcastic, or bark "yes" like a trained animal. It’s not a conversation. You’re holding me verbally hostage.
Jerry
Okay, ass-face. I’ll go in the kitchen.
Summer
Hey, dad.
Jerry
Yeah?
Summer
Whatcha doing? Going into the kitchen?
Jerry
Okay.
Summer
Yeah, you like that?
Jerry
Screw you.
scene
Morty
So, uh, do most people wear masks when they purge?
Arthrisha
I-I don’t want to answer any more purge questions.
Morty
All right, hey, hey, that’s cool. I can roll with that.
[rick Blowing raspberries ]
Arthrisha
[ Gasps ] My Nana!
Rick
Huh?
Arthrisha
My Nana! We have to save her!
Rick
You just now remembered your Nana exists.
Arthrisha
I-I was traumatized.
Rick
Haven’t you been through like 15 purges? I mean, some as a child?
Arthrisha
Will somebody just help me get her?
Rick
Fine, whatever. Morty, stay.
Morty
Oh, God. Oh, crap. Oh, crap!
Arthrisha
Get out! Get out!
Morty
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Arthrisha
Get the [Bleep] out of the flying machine!
Morty
Oh, my God! O-okay! Okay!
Arthrisha
Back up, asshole.
Morty
[ Whimpers ]
Arthrisha
Back up.
Morty
Ohh.
Arthrisha
Back the [Bleep] up!
Morty
Aah!
Arthrisha
For what it’s worth, I’m sorry, but that’s not really worth anything tonight, is it?
Morty
Y-you can’t leave us here. You’re killing us! You hear me? Come back. Y-you got to come back. Change your mind. Oh, geez.
Rick
Morty! Aah! [Bleep] Amish bitch shot me! [ Grunts ] She tried to purge me, Morty. You let your wiener do the walking, and now I’m dead.
Morty
Rick, she took the car!
Rick
You [Bleep] kidding me, Morty?! She took my car and the gun. We’re like the rest of these assholes now. W-w-we’re gonna get purged, Morty. Help me up.
Morty
Oh, geez, geez! Wait a minute, Rick. Why don’t we just use your portal gun?
Rick
It’s in the car, dip-ass. [ Grunts ] Oh, God, it hurts. She got me right in the goddamn liver, Morty. It’s the hardest-working liver in the galaxy, Morty, and now it has a hole in it. I hope it was worth it.
Morty
I was just trying to do right.
Rick
Yeah, well, that’s not really the theme of tonight’s party. Heads up. Rapists. Well, don’t just stand there, Morty. Purge ‘em.
Morty
Me?
Rick
No, me. Should I rub my liver hole on them? Pick up a stick or something and kill them.
Morty
Um, w-we come in peace.
[ Screaming ]
Rick
Oh, my God. [ Grunts ] There’s more where that came from! You want to get purged, you bring it! Drop [Belches] drop your sh1t! Drop it all. Morty, go get their sh1t. Hurry up. I only had one of those things I threw. I’m holding a box of tic tacs right now.
scene
Jerry
Want some crackers?
Summer
No, thank you.
Jerry
Are you ready to be nice to me?
Summer
In exchange for crackers?
Jerry
What happened to you?
Summer
Dad, get a job.
Jerry
You’re trying to create drama because you’re bored.
Summer
Oh. [ Beeping, whirring ] It’s the space phone grandpa gave us. Hello?
Rick
Hey, Summer, it’s grandpa. I need you to do me a favor.
Summer
I can barely hear you.
Jerry
Who is it?
Rick
Morty and I are on a planet that’s purging. I need you to take down...
Summer
A plan that’s what?
Rick
We’re on a planet that’s purging, Summer. Purging. We lost our car and my gun, and we’re in a purge.
Jerry
Ooh, is it taddi Mason?
Summer
Like the movie "the purge"?
Rick
Yes, I-I need you to take... that movie sucked.
Summer
Oh, my God. Hold on. It’s not taddi Mason? Dad, who the [Bleep] is taddi Mason? My friend.
Summer
Aah! Are you okay? I’m putting you on speaker.
Jerry
Taddi?
Rick
Yes, Jerry, it’s taddi, a person no one’s ever heard of until now, calling you on a space phone. I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic.
Rick
[ Growls ] Aah! [ Growling ] [ Gunshots ] Reload, fast.
Morty
Summer, w-we need you to take down this number. Quit screwing around.
Jerry
Morty? Are you all right?
Morty
No!
Jerry
Why are you with taddi Mason?
Morty
Holy [Bleep] dad! Shut the [Bleep] up!
Jerry
Okay. I guess I’m just this entire family’s toilet paper.
Morty
Are you writing this down? Will you please write this down?
Summer
Yes, yes.
Rick
7-7-1-9-8...[ Growling ] 3-6-4-2-1-1-2-5. Aah! [ Growling ] You son of a bitch! Morty, I don’t want to be the "a little help" guy, but a little help? Aah!
Summer
Okay, I have a pen. Go.
Rick
7-7-1-9-8-3- 6-4-2-1-1-2-5. A spoon, Morty? A spoon?!
Morty
I’m sorry.
Rick
There’s a pile of silverware next to you, and you throw me the one thing that can never kill anything?
Morty
All right, okay!
Rick
Summer, on the shelf above my workbench in the garage, there’s a red box with a keypad on it. You’re gonna take that box outside, and you’re gonna type the number I just gave you into the keypad. Got it?
Summer
Got it. Is it just part of growing up to hate your dad?
Rick
I’m ignoring you. Morty, if I can get to the top of that lighthouse, I can send the beacon, and your sister can launch our package. Just remember, if there’s people in there and they try to purge us, we got to purge them first.
Morty
We’re not purging anyone, Rick, all right? W-will you stop it?
Rick
Morty, if we’re gonna survive tonight, you’re gonna need to harness your repressed rage.
Morty
I don’t have any!
Rick
Spoken like a person with repressed rage.
[ Doorbell rings ]
Lighthouse Keeper
I take no part in the festival. If you desire to kill me, I only ask you do it quickly.
Rick
No such agenda, chief.
Morty
We’re not too keen on the purge, either, sir. We were just hoping to get on the roof of your lighthouse so we can send a beacon to my sister on earth. It’s a different planet.
Rick
By the way, life on other planets exists. Don’t let it distract you.
Lighthouse Keeper
I’ll let you use my lighthouse for shelter and beacon-sending on the condition that you listen to my tale.
Morty
Okay.
Rick
Deal. All right, I’m gonna go to the roof and set things up. Morty, you listen to his tale.
Morty
Okay.
lighthouse keeper
[ Clears throat ]
"Fade in. Exterior. Unnamed city. Day."
The hustle and bustle is a symphony of progress.
We pan past windows, each of which contain a different story, to find jacey lakims, 28... hot, but doesn’t know it.
Jacey stops when her high heel gets caught in the grating of a sewer.
Suddenly, a man steps into frame and points a gun at her.
This is not her day.
Fade to black.
"Title... ‘three weeks earlier.’"
Jerry
[ sighs ] You really don’t want to talk to me about this.
Summer
Dad, grandpa and Morty are in danger. You’re unemployed, and you’re bored. They’re a higher priority.
Jerry
Stop saying I’m unemployed!
Summer
Okay, 7-7-1-9-8-3-6-4-2-1-1 2... aah!
Jerry
Good lord! Now what? [ Whirring, humming ] Look, I’m your father, and I love you is all I’m saying. I’ll leave it at that.
Summer
Fine, dad! [ Both scream ] Oh, he might have said to take it outside.
Rick
Come on, Summer. How hard is it to type some numbers into a box? Target locked. [ Device beeps ] Oh, thank God. Well, I did my job. Summer did her job. Now all Morty has to do is finish listening to that tale.
lighthouse keeper
"Blane: Maybe I don’t need a new friend."
Jacey: Maybe you’re the only friend I need.
Blane: Need, or want?
Jacey: I’ve never been much for wanting.
"Blane: Spoken like someone with needs."
Morty
Oh, geez.
Lighthouse Keeper
Hmm?
Morty
Uh, sorry. K-keep going.
lighthouse keeper
"Jacey reaches out and touches his face."
It’s clear he needs what she wants.
She’s a woman. He’s a man.
The city burns in the background as he takes her in his arms.
Fade out.
Title... ‘the end’...
"Question mark."
Morty
Wow.
Lighthouse Keeper
Yeah?
Morty
It’s... G-good job. Good job.
Lighthouse Keeper
You liked it?
Morty
Of course I did.
Lighthouse Keeper
You didn’t laugh at the scene in the bar.
Morty
I...Thought it was funny, but I wanted to hear the rest.
Lighthouse Keeper
Do you have any thoughts? Notes?
Morty
No. I-I just enjoyed it. That’s my note, you know? Please write more.
Lighthouse Keeper
Seems a little insincere.
Morty
What? No.
Lighthouse Keeper
You don’t have to mollycoddle me. I want to improve my writing. Tell me your real thoughts.
Morty
All right. Well, um, I’m not a huge fan, personally, of the whole "three weeks earlier" teaser thing. I feel like, you know, we should start our stories where they begin not start them where they get interest...
Lighthouse Keeper
get out.
Morty
Um, what?
Lighthouse Keeper
No, I’m sick of this. You bang on my door, you beg me to help you, I share something personal with you, and you take a giant sh1t on it.
Morty
Hey, man, we asked if we could put up a beacon...
Lighthouse Keeper
well, you can’t. I want you out of here. You’re a petty person, and you’re insecure, and you’re taking it out on me. That’s a good script.
Morty
What the hell?!
Lighthouse Keeper
I don’t care. I want you out.
Rick
What?
Lighthouse Keeper
Take that thing down. Your grandson is a shitty person. Leave now.
Rick
Morty!
Morty
Rick, I didn’t do anything. I sat through his entire screenplay...
Lighthouse Keeper
you "sat through it"?
Morty
Yes! Did you want me to weep with joy? It’s terrible!
Rick
Whoa! Morty! We’re guests here.
Morty
I tried to be a good guest! He dragged it out of me!
Lighthouse Keeper
I’m taking down this beacon.
Morty
No, stop! That’s not fair! Just because you hate your own writing doesn’t make me a bad person!
Lighthouse Keeper
Aah!
Morty
You like that? You want me to cut to three weeks earlier when you were alive?
Rick
Whoa, Morty. You just purged. [Beacon arriving. Device beeps ] Okay, time to go.
[smith house]
Jerry
Well, terrific.
Summer
[ Sighs ] Dad, what’s going on? What’s the deal here?
Jerry
I just wanted to spend some time with my daughter. You’re growing up so fast. You used to be my little girl.
Summer
[ Chuckles ] Yeah.
Jerry
Remember when we used to go to the playground, and I’d push you on the swings?
Summer
Oh, you could push me higher than all the other kids.
Jerry
You were so small and cute. I thought you were gonna fly right off into the street.
Summer
[ Chuckling ] I used to pee my pants.
Jerry
I know, and now look at you! You have a job. You’re making really good money. You’re not paying any rent, so you have plenty of disposable income.
Summer
Oh, God, dad. Please, don’t.
Jerry
I just need a few hundred dollars to get through the month. I have some interviews coming up. Something’s gonna come through. I can feel it.
Summer
I’m going inside.
[ Door shuts ]
Jerry
[ Sighs ] I guess this is what rock bottom feels like, Jerry.

Morty
Ow!
Rick
It’s okay, Morty. It’s the purge, you know? Pushing old lighthouse keepers down the stairs is totally cool.
Morty
It’s not cool, Rick. I-I’m not like these people. I can’t run around chopping people’s heads off one day a year and then sleep well the rest of the time.
Rick
Well, you better start getting used to it, little bitch, because we got some [Bleep] company.

I can’t help but feel ashamed about what I did back there, Rick. I guess you were right. I’ve got a lot of repressed stuff. I need to deal with.

Don’t worry about it, Morty. Remember those candy bars earlier that we got in the first act?
Morty
Yeah, what about them?

Rick: Don’t worry about Jerry. He’s gonna be fine. You hear me, Jerry? You’re gonna be fine.
Whoa! Ooh, watch out for that stuff.
It’ll stain if it gets on your clothes, and it’ll send you into a murderous rage if it gets in your eyes and mouth.
Why would you keep mutant bacteria in a pint of cherry Garcia? I know this isn’t the time, but, you know, technically, the second freezer drawer is mine.
- Not anymore.
- You’re overreacting! We’re losing him.
All right, fine, but you’re not touching my crisper.
- Is he going to die? - Don’t worry.
Dr. glip glop is the best in the galaxy.
Hello, I’m Dr. Glip Glop.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God! - [ Roars ] - Aah! [ Sizzling ] What? Every hospital claims to have the best doctor in the ga-[Belches]-laxy.
It’s like those Pizza places that claim to have the best Pizza in the world.
What do you think, they have Pizza contests? Have you ever been to a Pizza contest? - Go in the waiting room, dad.
- Fine! Excuse me.
Coming through.
What are you here for? Just kidding.
I don’t care.
Well, this won’t do.
- Hey, what are you doing? - A sequel.
- I don’t understand.
- Yeah, me, neither.
We pretty much nailed it the first time.
[ Rapping indistinctly] Man: Biatch! [ Electricity crackling ] Ooh! Ooh! Ow! "Man vs.
Car," the newest hit show, - where it pits a man - Yeah! Versus a car.
[ Horn honks ] On tonight’s episode, Michael Jenkins fights a regular old car.
Here we go.
Oh, he’s pushing his way through.
He’s trying to fight that car, but the car seems to have the upper hand.
Oh, he’s got a little bit of pushback there.
Oh, no.
He just got ran over and chewed up by the tires.
I guess that’s another one for the cars.
[ Laughs ] I mean, wouldn’t the cars always win? Samantha, I need to know, that you understand that I have a couple of eyeholes.
I do.
I do understand about your eyeholes.
Here, look at my eyeholes.
Oh, my God.
You have eight eye ho holes.
[ Chuckles ] Ohh, I’m looking through your eyeholes.
Yes, look through my eyeholes.
[ Moaning ] I’m the eyehole Man.
I’m the only one that’s allowed to have eye holes.
Get up on out of here with my eyeholes.
Announcer: Eyeholes.
Get them today.
Ikea Rick: You got to be careful, Morty.
If that guy catches you with a box of his eyeholes, he comes bursting in through a window and just starts kicking the shit out of you.
But it’s worth the risk.
They melt in your mouth, Morty.
They’re delicious.
Dad, I can’t believe you’re explaining alien cereal.
- We’re worried about Jerry.
- Well, you’re 39 years too late, or, you know, however old he is.
Is he is he 50? Jesus Christ, Beth, is is Jerry 50? Where am I? Relax, Mr.
Smith.
You’re in an alien hospital.
I mean, to you, it’s an alien hospital.
To me, you’re just in a hospital.
There’s another matter we need to discuss with you.
Okay.
An hour ago, shrimply pibbles, the galaxy’s most influential civil rights leader, was brought to this hospital’s emergency room, where he is currently fighting for his life.
My God.
Mr.
Smith, shrimply pibbles’ life can be saved if we replace his heart with your human penis.
I see.
Wait, what? It’s perfect.
The configuration of veins, the ratio of thickness to elasticity, the delicate asymmetry of what you call your balls, and with relatively few adjustments, your genitals can be molded into a functioning heart for the most important man in the universe.
- Yeah, but I mean - Oh, forget it! I told you this was a waste of time! Have respect, yarp.
The earth man’s world is tiny and undeveloped.
He knows nothing of the genocides of clorgon or the tragic events of 65.
3432.
23/14.
And even if he did, he wouldn’t comprehend them.
I’ve dwelt among the humans.
Their entire culture is built around their penises.
It’s funny to say they are small.
It’s funny to say they are big.
I’ve been at parties where humans have held bottles, pencils, thermoses in front of themselves and called out, "hey, look at me.
I’m Mr.
so-and-so-dick.
I’ve got such-and-such for a penis.
" I never saw it fail to get a laugh.
All right! That’s enough! You guys are talking about my species.
We understand genocide.
We do it sometimes.
Then you would give your penis so that shrimply pibbles might live? Stop asking! Yes, I will! That’s right, assholes.
Take my penis.
Take it all! And tell shrimply pibbles that when the galaxy came calling, Jerry Smith from earth didn’t flinch! [ Laughs ] Hey, w-what’s wrong, Morty? Oh, you’re worried about your dad, huh? Huh? Oh, no, no, no.
I’m just I’m just looking at that lady over there getting coffee.
What’s up with her face? Is she human, or is she like worf? You know, worf from "Star Trek," how he has all that shit all over his face, but he’s just a human in a costume, you know? Morty, uh, let’s see what else is on, huh? Okay.
And now we’re back to "how did I get here?" The only show that makes you ask yourself, "how did I get here?" [ Chuckles ] Here’s our first person.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
How did I get here? Hello?! How did I get here?! Somebody, help me, please! Host: [ Laughs ] All right! Holy crap! Look, it’s that lady with the shit on her face like worf from "Star Trek" that was getting coffee! How did she get there?! Oh, my God, Morty, how did she get there? How did she get there? [ Laughs ] Is that something we should be concerned about? Just stay away from the coffee machine.

" We need two jan Michael Vincents to quadrant "e.

He can’t be at two quadrants at once.
Hey, Rick, who who is jan Michael Vincent? Oh, man.
I’m trying to remember, Morty.
Jan Michael Vincents are used up.
I need a goddamn jan Michael Vincent.
Is it important that we know who jan Michael Vincent was - in order to get this? - Nope.
I-I refuse to send the legislation that allows more than eight jan Michael Vincents to a precinct.
This jan-uary, it’s time to Michael down your Vincents.
"Jan quadrant Vincent 16.
" - Whoa! - Whoa! That’s jan Michaels.
Excuse me, nurse, can you take my temperature because I think I have jan quadrant Vincent fever over here.
All right, Morty! You’ve done it.
So, we’ll be detaching your sexual organ at the base by making incisions here, here, and here.
Got it.
Leaving a partial length of severed urethra - to be threaded through - [ Laughs ] Oh, you know what, I got to I got to laugh at myself here.
I’m having a little laugh at myself because I just realized I haven’t run this whole decision past my wife.
Oh.
Do you think she’ll be okay with this? Oh, absolutely.
Beth’s automatically on board always with every decision I make.
Hey, I’m stealy.
Follow me on my adventure through this office.
All right, here we go.
We’re gonna just steal a couple of things.
Excuse me.
Can I help you? Starting with common office objects.
Hey, hey, hey! That’s my stuff! Such as staplers and pins and all sorts of things like such as that.
That’s it.
I’m calling security.
No! [ Muffled grunting ] All right, okay, now we’re in the quiet safe room where none of the people whose stuff I stole can get to us.
Now, let’s look at all the stuff we got.
We got a bag of bobbish.
That’s eight brapples.
We got a plumbus.
That’s 61/2 brapples.
We got, uh, a crushed red party cups.
[ Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! ] Welcome back to "funny songs.
" It’s all improvised.
It’s very funny.
I need a volunteer from the audience.
Um, longtime fan of the show.
Uh what do you do? What’s your profession? I am a tax attorney.
Okay, here we go.
Hit hit the music.
I’m a tax attorney oh, geez, oh forget about everybody else forget about Jesus Christ forget about muhammad forget about, uh All those religions Ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba-bop the end.
Oh, my God.
Oh, that was so, so funny.
- Thank you.
- You’re welcome.
Hey, um, security guards, take him out.
- Get him out of here.
- What? Get the orthodontist out of here.
No! Why? [ Glass shatters ] Take him out of the audience.
Kill him.
Sic him.
Demons Suck his life out.
I don’t give a shit.
- Smith family? - Yes? I wanted to let you all know that Jerry is doing just fine.
- Yay! Called it! - Yes! Whoo-hoo! That’s good news! But, uh, Mrs.
Smith, could you come with me? Hi, honey, so, here’s the thing these guys they want to completely remove my penis and use it as an alien’s heart.
And we just need you to sign off on it.
- What?! - Uh-oh.
Maybe we got a problem here after all, guys.
Yikes.
His penis will be replaced with a sophisticated prosthetic.
Now, there’s a wide range of options to choose from.
They’re all in this catalogue.
I don’t care about prosthetics.
This is insane.
What do you people think you’re doing? I understand your feelings, Mrs.
Smith.
Oh, I don’t think you do.
I bring my husband in for emergency treatment.
He’s gone an hour.
And now you want his penis, and you hand me some Catalog.
It’s it’s it’s it’s I mean Sheesh.
Well, there you go.
Sorry.
I know it’s hard to understand, but on earth, love comes first.
There are those that believe, Mr.
Smith, that shrimply pibbles represents love between all life.
His fate will determine the fate of hundreds of billions of sentient life-forms.
Whoa! Whoa.
So, billions of life-forms? Hundreds of billions.
I mean, Jerry, y-you didn’t explain the full gravity of the situation.
Uh, well, Beth, I don’t think your decision should be based on politics.
Who could argue with a wife’s decision to keep her lover intact? Well, I don’t think that’s fair at all, Jerry.
At all.
In fact, the whole paradigm has sexist overtones.
Beth, can we talk about this privately.
You know, I think the bottom line is, Jerry, if you want to keep your penis, you should say, out loud, "I prefer to keep my penis.
" But, Beth, what kind of man would say something like that if the universe needed his penis?! Well, Jerry, what kind of wife would I be if I did anything to stand in your way? Hey, listen, is your mouth tiny and small? Then why don’t you come to lil’ bits Man: Lil’ bits! where the food is tiny.
It looks like regular food, but really tiny.
You can put it in your mouth and eat it.
Nothing gets stuck in your lips.
It’s just tiny and tiny and fits right - fits right in.
- Lil’ bits! We got tiny lasagna, tiny Pizza, tiny pie.
Mmm! Little, tiny fried eggs.
Oh, shit.
We got tiny people.
Lil’ bits! You hungry? Come on down.
Lil’ bits.
Eat some [Bleep] shit, you [Bleep] stupid bitch.
[ Chuckles ] Just kidding.
You’ve got some time to kill before the procedure, so I assume you’d like to, uh, use your penis one last time.
Here’s my computer.
It’s got the alien Internet on it.
Here’s some porn.
And there’s an alien towel.
I actually got that on another planet.
So it is an alien towel to me.
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
[ Door closes ] [ Sighs ] What is this? Hmm.
Hey, wait a minute.
Oh, uh, Mr.
Smith? Uh, yeah, just masturbating! I forgot to mention, there are extensive medical records open on my desktop, and I trust you to confine your activities - to the purely pornographic.
- Absolutely! Good luck.
[ Clicks ] My God! [ Chuckles ] Mr.
pibbles, you just wrote my penis a one-way ticket to staying on my body town.
Announcer: It’s the opposite news with Michael Thompson.
Hey, everybody.
It’s me, Michael Thompson.

He’s perfectly fine.
And he’s on vacation in Aruba.
In other opposite news, information Hey, Rick, what’s the deal with this guy? W-why is his body, like, sloping off to the right side of the screen like that? I don’t know, Morty.
See what else is on, huh? Hey, welcome to "cooking things.

Oh, my God, and his name’s pichael.

I’m gonna cook a little bit of that.
Oh, oh, hey! Stop tugging, Michael! Oh, my God! Siamese twins! They’re they’re siamese twins! You quit tugging.

Oh, oh, it’s always about you, isn’t it? Can you believe this guy, ladies and gentlemen? He’s got his own news show.
He’s got a normal name.
- Hey, flip back to the news.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You could tell our parents started with naming with him.
It’s like, "oh, Michael." They had that one planned before they even got pregnant, I bet.
I don’t want to be that girl, but maybe there would be less conflict if they didn’t shoot their shows at the same time.
Oh, summer, you have no idea how much money that must save production.
And then they found out I was attached, along for the ride, and they said, "ah, shit." Well, just [Bleep] it, call him pichael.
" [Bleep] You, pichael.
You’re a [Bleep] piece of shit.
[ Camera shutters clicking ] Good afternoon.
I know all of you are wondering about the condition of our dear, beloved pibbles.

[ Cheers and applause ] Hello, everyone! Let’s hear it again for shrimply pibbles, huh? He’s a good guy, isn’t he? I’ve only just been learning about his accomplishments, from his march on flirk blirk square to his ongoing battle with heroin dependency.
He’s the best.
[ Cheers and applause ] Um, yeah.
Well, I-it occurs to me that his heroin addiction may not have been a matter of public record.
You realize heroin makes up on shrimply pibbles’ home planet.
His planet was destroyed by clorgon death squads.
He can’t live outside of it without breathing heroin.
Right.
I know that.
I just think This guy’s trying to get out of giving away his penis! [ Crowd shouting ] Narrator: Today on "how they do it" Plumbuses.
Everyone has a plumbus in their home.
First, they take the dinglebop, and they smooth it out with a bunch of schleem.
The schleem is then repurposed for later batches.
They take the dinglebop, and they push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it.
It’s important that the fleeb is rubbed because the fleeb has all of the fleeb juice.
Then a schlami shows up, and he rubs it and spits on it.
They cut the fleeb.
There’s several hizards in the way.
The blamfs rub against the chumbles.
And the ploobis and grumbo are shaved away.
That leaves you with a regular, old plumbus.
I always wondered how, uh, plumbuses got made.
Hey, welcome back to "personal space.
" I’m your host Phillip Jacobs, and let me tell you, I care about my personal space.
Whoa, whoa.
Hey.
Who’s around me right now? Who’s around me? Now, why don’t we step up here and everybody get stepped up and let’s get some stepped-up personal space up in this place.
Here we go.
We get a one, personal space.
Two, personal space.
Three, stay out of my personal space.
Four, keep away from my personal space.
Five Get out of that personal space.
Six Stay away from my personal space.
Seven Keep away from that personal space.
Eight, personal space.
Nine, personal space.
You know, I take personal space pretty seriously, up to the point that I don’t even care about this I’m not even interested in having this skin on my personal space.
[ Groans ] Oh, my God! Oh, it hurts! Gross! Rick: [ Laughs ] What an asshole! Ohh, tune in next week [ Theme music plays ] to the best show ever, the show we all grew and love "the personal space show.
" Announcer: More "personal space" next Tuesday at 8:00.
Up next, the heat is turning up with Samantha and the boys on "the northsiders.
" [ Speaking alien language ] [ Whistle blows ] If you could all just stop screaming and chanting and making whatever that gesture means excuse me.
Come on.
Please, everyone, I have news about shrimply pibbles.
Word of Jerry Smith trying to weasel out of his penis donation has spread across the galaxy.
Beings everywhere have come together to offer what little they have to help save shrimply’s life.
Enough to pay for a brand-new, state-of-the-art synthetic heart that will be even better than Mr.
Smith’s pathetic penis.
Wait! That was an option the whole time?! You guys suck! Yeah.
We suck.
Are you still here? Okay, Jerry.
Let’s head home.
I can’t leave now.
Everyone hates me.
Unfortunately, there’s no surgical procedure that can fix that.
Or is there? [ Monitor beeping ] - Scalpel.
- Scalpel.
- Nano-doctor.
- Nano-doctor.
Nano-scalpel.
Nano-scalpel.
Okay.
We’re ready.
Not so fast! Mr.
Smith? What are you doing? Are you insane?! I’m a good person, and I demand that you cut off my penis and put it in that man’s chest.
That’s not how it works! Well, you’re gonna make it work.
[ Knocking ] I’m octopus man! [ Laughs ] I’m octopus man! [ Laughs ] I’m a marine biologist who was bitten by an octopus.
[ Laughs ] And now I’m I help people.
I save people.
I’m a troublesome octopus person.
Uh-oh.
I got to save some trouble ‘cause here comes a trouble mite.
Summer: Gross! Does all interdimensional TV have to rely on juvenile violence? Well, summer, maybe people that create things aren’t concerned with your delicate sensibilities, you know? Maybe the species that communicate with each other through the filter of your comfort are less evolved than the ones that just communicate! Maybe your problems are your own to deal with, and maybe the public giving a shit about your feelings is a one-way ticket to extinction! Geez, Morty.
I take it Cathrine hefflefinger hasn’t texted you back yet.
I don’t want to talk about it.
Okay, guys, let’s go home.
- Where’s dad? - Breaking news.
Shrimply pibbles is being held hostage by the human known as Jerry Smith.
Remove my penis! - [ Gasps ] - Holy crap! It’s cool.
It’s fine.
It’s got to be from an alternate reality, right? - Are you sure? - I don’t know.
Do it! Do it! Remove my penis! Sir, put the gun down and step away from Mr.
pibbles! - Jerry! - Dad, what are you doing?! I’m a good person.
I’m a good person.
Where did he get a gun? Who gave him a gun? That’s not a gun.
That’s the xp-20 xs.
Ah! Oh, my God.
I’m a good person.
[ Screaming ] [ Distorted screaming ] No! Nooooo! [ Monitor beeping ] [ Both screaming ] Man: Hey, how’s it going? This is my butthole ice cream parlor.
I got all kinds of ice cream peanut butter and jelly [ Farts ] - Vanilla [ Farts ] - Chocolate [ Farts ] - And every flavor served out of a butthole - [ Groaning ] - Just like you’re back home.
- Dad! - Dad! What happened? Where am I? Was it all a dream? No, you were shot like 50 times.
you’re in a super-sophisticated alien hospital, so it was basically like getting a splinter removed.
All all I wanted was for everyone to like me.
Jerry, remember that time you left a comment underneath that YouTube video and someone replied and called you a dumb-ass, so you replied and told them, "it takes one to know one," and you stayed up all night hitting "refresh" on your browser waiting for them to reply and then you fell asleep crying? I remember it differently.
This is like that.
You can’t make people like you.
You just have to wait for hating you to bore them.
You know, you’re right.
I shouldn’t be motivated by other people’s opinions of me.
All right, guys, let’s go home.
If it’s all the same to you, Rick, I’d like to go to the zoo - With my family.
- What?! What are you talking about?! Why would we do that?! It’s a stupid idea! What’s the matter with you!? Don’t be a piece of shit, Jerry! Okay, I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
We’ll go home.
What the hell is he talking about?!
Post-Credit Scene
- Aah! - I’m the eyehole man! What is going on? Aah! Give me my eyeholes! Give me my eyeholes! Give me my eyeholes! I’m eyehole man! That part of the cupboard is mine, Jerry! Why do you even have those?! - Give me my eyeholes! - Help me, please! Get up on out of here with my eyeholes!

The ABCs of Beth
Author(s): Justin Roiland
Transcriber/Editor(s): D. Lint
Date Aired: 2015-
Reference Name(s): The ABC's of Death
Reference Date(s): 2013
News Anchor
: In local news, child murderer Joseph Eli Lipnip is scheduled to die tomorrow by lethal injection, his execution already drawing dozens more spectators than the death of TV news. Carla?
Carla Johnson
: The man that once ate his own son
Beth
: Wow. He’s really getting executed after all this time. You know the son that he ate was --
Summer
: Your best friend -- Tommy. We know. Stop true-crime bragging.
Beth
:I was traumatized, Summer. Okay, your generation wouldn’t get that.
Summer
: Bitch, my generation gets traumatized for breakfast.
Beth
: It took years of therapy to even process the reality. I mean, when I was a kid, I just told myself that Tommy had gotten lost in the magical realm of Froopyland.
Summer
:"Froopyland?"
Beth
: My make-believe world. I know the name’s stupid, but it was so real to me.
Rick
: Aren’t you guys supposed to be at your father’s for custody weekend?
Morty
:We’re not in a hurry. Dad sleeps until sundown. Can we talk a little bit more about this Froopy--
[ Zap, bloop ]
Summer
:Not the bubble gun! There’s no air --
[ Zap, bloop ]
Beth
:I gotta say, I am warming up to the bubble gun.
Rick
: You know, if you’re so great at naming things, why don’t you do it from now on?
Beth
:-What?
Rick
:-Froopyland. Was it my best work? I don’t know. Does it deserve to be shit on creatively? Yeah, that’s right. I agree with your look of horrified realization. You can be very inconsiderate sometimes.
(cut to garage)
Rick
:[ Rattling ] [ Grunting ] Here it is. You know, I collapsed a quantum tesseract to
Beth
: -- Dad, I don’t care how you made it. I want to know if Tommy’s still in there!
Rick
: Relax, Beth. (draws door on wall) [ Jingling, crackling) If he is, we’ll find him. He’ll be the only sun-bleached skeleton with non-imaginary DNA.
(opening credits)
(Froopyland)
Beth
: Tommy! Tommy! This is a nightmare. I can’t believe you used to lock me up in this glorified chicken coop.
Rick
: Chicken coop? Those are procedurally generated clouds, Beth. That river is a rainbow. Literally. Come on, I-I-I put real elbow grease into this place.
Beth
: Well, you’re supposed to put elbow grease into your daughter!
Rick
:Gross.
Beth
: Do you think something ate him?
Rick
: Nope. Froopyland creatures were designed to be harmless. He definitely just starved to death.
Beth
: I could have been the one who starved to death in here. What if I’d gotten hurt?
Rick
:God, you’re right. I’m a terrible dad. Well, nothing to live for. Goodbye, cruel world! (jumps off cliff)
Beth
: Dad!
Rick
:[ Thump ] Oh, how do you like that? What kind of merciless creator makes the ground bouncy? I’m gonna have to drown myself.
Beth
: [Jumps, Thump ] Unh!
Rick
:(sticks head in water) Oh, no. Oh, the water’s breathable? Who went and did that?
Beth
:Oh, whatever.
Rick
:Yeah, whatever. A dad makes a toilet look like R2-D2, and it breaks the front page of Reddit, but I’m Charles Manson because I gave you your own world instead of an iPad. I think the words you’re looking for are -- Aah! [Gets grabbed by a raptor. Screeches ] Holy [bleep] [Bleep] This thing has claws!
Beth
:Yeah, I get it. It’s a childproof world.
Rick
: No, no, seriously, this hurts really bad! This thing is sinking razor-sharp claws in -- Aah! [Bleep]
Beth
: You’ve made your point, Dad. Dad?
(cut to summer and morty in bubble)
[ Pop, pop ]
Morty
:Ugh!
[ Both panting ]
Summer
: Whose idea was this stupid custody weekend thing?
Morty
: I think it’s supposed to help prevent abandonment issues.
Summer
: I want to be abandoned.
Morty
: Yeah, I’m talking about Dad.
Jerry
: [ Door opens ] Bienvenue a la Chez Divorced Dad.
Summer
: Wow, Dad. Your place looks way less like a crackhouse.
Morty
: It’s actually clean, like a cocaine house. Dad, what’s going on?
Jerry
: I’m simply centered, activated -- [ Glass clinks, Warble ]
Morty
:And telekinetic?
Jerry
: Pretty cool, huh? Check it out. Who wants a smoothie? [ Rattle, Blender whirring ] Oh -- Oh, no. Uh, oh, God. Summer -- Summer, can you --
Summer
:-Aah!
Jerry
: -Sorry.
Kiara
: [ Warble ] You have much to learn, my Uloo.
Jerry
: Morty, Summer, this is Kiara. She’s a Krootabulan warrior priestess from Krootabulon.
Morty
: I-I know where Krootabulans are from, Dad. Uh, Chaimuntolo.
Kiara
: Chaimuntolo, younglings.
Summer
: Hymencholo.
Kiara
: Your father’s mind holds love for you. I am humbled to meet in physicality.
Summer
: Dad, are you
Jerry
:-- In love with a badass, sexy alien lady? Ha, ha, I don’t know, Summer. You tell me.
Summer
: I wasn’t going to ask if you were in love since you barely know her.
Jerry
: Summer. Kiara and I met on that interstellar dating service Rick was always suggesting when your mom and I were together. And things just kind of clicked.
Kiara
: We must move! Our reservation is at 7:00.
Jerry
: [ Whoosh ] I hate to see her leave, but I love to watch her phase shift away. I’m sure you noticed what she has three of, but guess what she has two of?
(Froopyland)
Rick
: [ Screeches ] Oof! All right, knock it off! Listen, I’ve been giving you a pass because I’m charmed that life finds a way, but -- Aah! All right, you know what? [ Ray gun fires ] Ouch! Oh! Unh! Ouch! God! [ Sizzling ] Aah! Agh! [ Arm clicks ]
Beth
: Oh, yeah, this place is the safest. Best dad ever. Can’t you just say, "I admit it, I screwed up"?
Rick
: Uh, what would be the point of that?
Beth
: [ Chuckling ] You can’t do it, can you? You can’t just [bleep] apologize.
Rick
: Okay, okay, Beth, I’m sorry you think you deserve an apology. [raptor Screeches ] Hey, don’t look at me. You let your kid roll around on the floor of a target, it’s gonna get stepped on. [raptor Screeches, Whir, zap ] Huh. Well, here’s the problem right here. We’ve got a bunch of Froopyland procedural carbons all gummed up and mixed in with real human DNA.
Beth
: Are you saying Tommy survived here by having sex with Froopy creatures, creating Froopy-human hybrid offspring, and then consuming their proteins, sustaining himself with an endless cycle of cannibalistic incest?
Rick
: It’s just a working theory. Of course, if that’s the case, I expect he’d be worshiped as a kind of god by a medieval-level society of his least-delicious children.
(enter group of Tommy's offspring)
Lead Froopy Creature
: Halt! You are now prisoners of our exalted ruler, giver and taker of life, helper and consumer of mortality, dispenser of life
Rick
:-- Yeah, if I could interrupt? We’re way ahead of the reveal here.
Beth
: Yeah, just take us to King Tommy.
(cut to restaurant)
Morty
: I thought warrior priestesses could only leave Krootabulon on a hunt.
Jerry
: Mmm. Thank you, sweetie.
Morty
: I hope it’s not human season.
Kiara
: I’m on Earth hunting the Varrix. I would never hunt a human. Your father and I are soul-bonded.
Morty
: Soul-bonded?
Summer
: Um, does your planet have shorter days, because you guys are moving kind of fast, no?
Kiara
: Sniff [ Dramatic music plays, Whoosh, Varrix alien waiter reveal]
Jerry
: Go get him, honey! She’s always hunting. [ Chuckles ] She probably knew a Varrix worked here, and that’s why she said the Yelp reviews didn’t matter.
Morty
: Dad, do you understand how serious Krootabulon soul-bonding is?
Jerry
: Uh, gee, Morty, I don’t know. It’s got such a casual name. If you want to lecture anyone about commitment, start with your mom.
Summer
: Oh, my God. Dad, is that what this is about? Are you rushing into a new thing to get back at Mom?
Jerry
: Every weekend, you two have told me to move on.
Summer
: Move on, like, out of bed. Like, stop using paper towels for toilet paper, not move on into a sloppy rebound.
Morty
: Dad, you need to slow down, rethink this soul bond.
Jerry
: Why don’t you just say what you really mean? You think it’s cool that having sex with her gives me telekinesis and you recognize she’s got a hot bod like Cheetara in "Thundercats," but you’re grossed out by her avocado-shaped head and blue skin, and you think I want to put a bag and a wig on her head. After all the time and energy I spent teaching you two about race [ Varrix screams ] you ended up racist.
Kiara
: [ Whoosh ] Soon your world will be rid of Varrix. Tomorrow, we celebrate.
Jerry
: We could take the kids to the water park.
Kiara
: We celebrate with a hunt!
Jerry
: Ooh. You kids want to hunt?
Morty
: -Yes.
Summer
: -Yes.
(Froopyland)
[ Trumpet fanfare ]
Offspring creature
: All kneel for King Tommy!
Rick
: I’m not kneeling. Suck my [bleep]
Tommy
: Well, hello, all! I am the King of Froopyland, but I go by another name, too.
Beth
: We know.
Tommy
: It’s Tommy!
Beth
: -We know.
Rick
: -We know.
Tommy
: I have lived here since I was a mere child.
Beth
: -We know.
Rick
: -Got it.
Tommy
: I suppose you’re wondering, how do I sustain myself?
Rick
: -Oh, boy.
Beth
: -No, we aren’t.
Tommy
: I always find the theater is the best way to clarify things.
Beth
: -Ugh.
Rick
: -Seriously?
Beth
: Oh, my God.
Tommy
: Players, go!
(Froopy creatures begin drama)
Little Tommy
: I am little Tommy.
[ Crowd cheers ]
Tiny Beth
: I am tiny Beth.
[ Crowd boos ]
Beth
: Oh, come on.
Tiny Beth
: Come with me to a magic land.
Froopy Voice
:Don’t do it!
Tiny Beth
: This is my secret Froopyland where I have no rules!
Little Tommy
: I am excited.
Tiny Beth
: I am jealous of Tommy’s friends and his Nintendo and his dad who likes him.
Rick
: I take it Tommy wasn’t class playwright.
Tiny Beth
: You want to see the Honey Swamp?
Little Tommy
: Yes! Let’s do it!
Tiny Beth
: Well, I want to see you dead.
Little Tommy
: Ow, help! I’m stuck! I’m covered in honey.
Rick
: Huh. Well, that’s interesting.
Beth
: Fake news.
Little Tommy
: Many nights have passed, trapped in this strange land. I am hungry, and all I can do to pass the time is hump. I will hump this rock. [ Tapping ] I will hump this tree. [ Tapping ] I will hump this beast of the land and put my seed in it.[ Tapping ]
Little Offspring
: I am the first of Tommy’s children. Eat of my flesh so you may survive.
Little Tommy
: And so I did.
Rick
: Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. Certified fresh. Good -- Good job.
Tommy
: Perhaps a demonstration is in order.[ Unzips shorts ]
Beth
: No, that is the last thing that is in order! Ugh. Oh, my God.
Rick
: Poor Froopy character. Leave him alone.
Tommy
: [ Shorts zip ] Ahh. Gather round, gang! [ Moos ] Dinner time. [ Splorch ]
Rick
: All right, that’s it. I’m outta here.
(draws circle on floor and leaves Froopyland)
(smith family living room)
Beth
: What are you doing? We’re in the middle of an adventure.
Rick
: Here’s some things an adventure needs, Beth. Conflict, stakes, a way for me to benefit, and, clearly, Morty.
Beth
: But Tommy’s still in there, raping Muppets and eating babies.
Rick
: Yep. Luckily, that’s not our problem. Time to pull the plug.
Beth
: Pull the plug? We have to get Tommy out of there, okay? We -- We need to do the right thing. Do what you never did as a dad -- Put in a little effort.
Rick
: All right, cut the high-road routine. We both saw Tommy’s shitty play. You pushed him in the Honey Swamp, Beth. His very happy life is in your hands. You go save him from it.
Beth
: [ Scoffs ] You’re gonna believe a play over your own daughter?
Rick
: Yes, I am, Beth, because you’re not my own daughter.
Beth
: Oh, God, yes. I’m one of infinite Beths with infinite fathers in infinite universes. It’s called a hug, Dad. It won’t kill you.
Rick
: Yeah, don’t be so sure. You know why all Ricks made a Froopyland for all their little girls? Same reason I wasn’t surprised by Tommy’s overwritten, badly structured, cheaply produced flashback. You were a scary [bleep] kid, man.
Beth
: [ Scoffing ] Oh, my God.
Rick
: I didn’t make Froopyland to get rid of you, Beth. I did it to protect the neighborhood. Not in a [burps] noble sense. It was just more practical to sequester you before I had to start, you know, cloning a replacement for every less-than-polite little boy or gullible animal that might cross your socio-path.
Beth
: You would rather believe I’m evil than admit that you were a bad father?
Rick
: Oh, dude, no. No, bad father all the way to the max over here. I’m a [bleep] nutcase. And the acorn plopped straight down, baby. Look at some of this shit you were asking me to make you as a kid. Ray guns. A whip that forces people to like you. Invisibility cuffs, a parent trap, a lightning gun, a teddy bear with anatomically correct innards, night-vision googly-eye glasses, sound-erasing sneakers, false fingerprints, fall-asleep darts, a lie-detecting doll, an indestructible baseball bat, a Taser shaped like a ladybug, a fake police badge, location-tracking stickers (time = 10:55 -5.243, 47.394, rainbow-colored duct tape, mind-control hair clips, poison gum, a pink, sentient switchblade.
Pink Sentient Switchblade
: Hi, Beth, you’ve gotten taller. Shall we resume stabbing?
Beth
: Has it occurred to you that I asked you to make those things because I wanted you to spend time with me? Has it occurred to you that if I did try killing Tommy, it might be because I was jealous of his family?
Rick
: Wait, what? Why? Wasn’t his dad, like, some kind of cannibal? Seems like it must be hereditary.
Beth
: Oh, my God. This is your fault. I am not a bad person. I’m gonna go back in there, I’m getting Tommy, and I’m fixing this!
(draws door enters Froopyland)
Rick
: Whatever you say, Stone Cold Steve Austin. [ Jingling ] I don’t know why I just said that. Doesn’t make a lot of sense, but gotta stand by it. Whatever you say, Stone Cold Steve Austin. I’m owning it.
(cuts to hunt)
[ Ax swings ]
Morty
:No, Dad! You’re not doing it right! [ Ax swings ]
Jerry
: Cutting off their heads isn’t doing it right?
Morty
: They’re [grunts] clearly regenerative! I-I think you have to stab them through the heart or something.
Summer
: You think or you know? I thought you were the alien expert, Isaac Asi-hole.
Morty
: Don’t snap at me! I’m tired!
Summer
: -Me, too!
Jerry
: -We’re all tired! [ Ax swings, Whoosh, Grunts ]
Kiara
: That’s the last of them. Tonight, we celebrate.
Jerry
: With a hunt?
Kiara
: Yes, for tomorrow, we hunt.
(jerry brings kids back to smith house)
Jerry
: [ Rain trickling, Clears throat ] I, uh, really have to get out of this soul bond.
Summer
: -What the [bleep] Dad?
Morty
: -Oh, my God! Duh!
Summer
: -Obviously!
Morty
: -Yeah, no kidding!
Jerry
: Can you guys help me?
Morty
: What? How?
Jerry
: Can I just, uh, tell her it’s because of my kids? You know, like, you don’t like the shape of her head, or
Summer
: -- That’s you, Dad! That’s you! You’re a baby and an idiot!
Jerry
: I think that’s been established, Summer. Now help me!
Summer
: First, I want you to admit that you’re a closet racist, a beta-male sexist, and you dragged everyone into a horrible situation by only thinking of yourself.
Jerry
: Okay.
Summer
: I want to hear you say it.
Jerry
: [ Sighs deeply ] Look, I’m a closeted racist, and I’m sexist and selfish, and I dragged us all into my sexist, racist bad things because I’m stupid.
Summer
: Thank you.
Jerry
: Now you’re gonna help me, right?
Morty
: She just did.
Summer
: Yeah, clean up your own mess.
Jerry
: Wait, wait, what? Oh, man.
(Froopyland)
[ Trumpet fanfare ]
Tommy
:All right, everybody. Next item on the docket -- I would like to have sex with some of you, and then eat the babies. [ Froopys murmuring ] I thought you’d like that. I do keep rolling out the hits, don’t I? [ Bang beth slams door open ] Oh! It’s the Magic Crayon Lady! Are you hungry? I was just about to make dinner. And by "make dinner," I mean
Beth
: -- Tommy, I’m going to take you to the real world.
Tommy
: Well, this is the real world.
Beth
: No, you don’t understand! Your dad -- Uh, people think your dad ate you!
Tommy
: So? You doy-oy! People should eat people. Just leave me alone!
Beth
: Tommy, you don’t understand. I have to make this right because it’s my fault that you’re in here. I’m Beth.
[ All gasp ]
Tommy
: -Beth? -The destroyer!
Beth
: Oh, suck it up, Princess Incest. You fell into some honey.
Tommy
: Well, it tends to happen when one is pushed into honey.
Beth
: I respect your right to believe I pushed you.
Tommy
: Oh, do I get to have that? Is my reality like a little side of fries -- a little Kwanzaa you’re willing to slide my way?
Beth
: Yes, because I’m focused on saving your father’s life because I’m not a petty piece of [bleep]
Tommy
: So, then, it should be pretty easy to say, "Sorry I pushed you."
Beth
: Real easy and not necessary, since you coming home will save your dad’s life whereas nothing is changed by anyone stroking your batshit-crazy ego.
Tommy
: Sorry, forgive me. Uh, I’ve been in Froopyland for quite a while. Have apologies changed?
Beth
: Tommy, I’m sorry you think you deserve an apology. Oh, my God. I’m my father.
Tommy
: Uh, will someone just kill this B-word?
[ Froopys muttering threateningly ]
Beth
: [ Grunts ] Hi-ya! Oh, my God. I’m my father! Ya! Ooh!
[Froopy Screams ]
Pink Sentient Switchblade
:It’s stab time!
Froopies
: Ooh!
[Cut to school, School bell rings ]
Math Teacher
: And that’s why one pussy plus two pussies makes a bunch of pussies. Come on, y’all, I’m trying to make this appealing to your sex-addicted lifestyles.
Jerry
: Hi, I need to pull Morty out of school. Come on, Morty.
Bully
: Ha! You heard your daddy, Morty. you have to leave school. Wait, what are my values?
Summer
: Dad, what’s going on?
Jerry
: We’re going to Alaska.
Morty
: What? Why?
Jerry
: It’s nice there. Also, I broke up with Kiara, and she didn’t take it well, and she wants to murder you two.
Morty
: What? Th-Then why are we walking?
Jerry
:I’m walking because I’m tired. You guys should definitely run.
[Enter Kiara Whoosh ]
Kiara
: [ Screams, Thud ] Excuse me, I just -- You know what? I’m -- I’m just gonna go left. No, okay, your left, that’s fine. Do you know what left is, ‘cause -- Ugh!
Morty
: What does your breakup have to do with us? [ Engine starts ]
Summer
: Yeah, we chose Mom hands down. I thought we made that clear at the lawyer’s office and in the comments under your weird rant on Facebook.
Jerry
: [ Crash, Tires squeal ] She kind of blames you guys for the breakup.
Summer
: -Why?
Morty
:-Why?
Jerry
: Because I told her it was your fault.
Summer
: -What?!
Morty
:-What?!
Jerry
: Look, I’m not an evil person. I’m just not very imaginative! [ Warbling, Grunts, Metal twisting ] Oh! [ All scream ]
Rick
:Doo-doo butt Doo-doo-doo -- doo-doo butt No. [ Jingling ] Doo-doo butt, doo-doo butt
Beth
: Hey.
Rick
: Hey.
Beth
: Um, hmm, so just, like, out of curiosity, if you were gonna make a clone of Tommy, what would you need to get started?
Rick
: I don’t kn-- Tommy’s DNA?
Beth
: Okay, ‘cause he, um Yeah, he didn’t want to come back, so, um, he gave me this.
Rick
: He gave you his finger?
Beth
: Uh, well, what happened is
Rick
: -- It’s okay. It doesn’t matter.
Beth
: Okay.
Rick
: This’ll take about three hours.
Beth
: Okay.
Rick
: Hey. You want to help?
Beth
: Okay.
(music while beth and rick make clone of tommy{ Doo I got a doo-doo in my butt Doo-doo-doo-doo And I don’t know what to do With the doo-doo in my butt But I know that a father should say to you That he’s proud of you Doo Every daughter is a doo-doo from a father’s butt Biologically speaking, the butt is a nut And every father fathers wrong Ooh And there isn’t a song That can change that })
Beth
: I am wiped out. I guess I’ll turn in.
Rick
: Cool.
Beth
: Dad? I feel like I’ve spent my life pretending you’re a great guy and trying to be like you. And the ugly truth has always been
Rick
: -- That I’m not that great a guy and you’re exactly like me.
Beth
: Am I evil?
Rick
: Worse. You’re smart. When you know nothing matters, the universe is yours. And I’ve never met a universe that was into it. The universe is basically an animal. It grazes on the ordinary. It creates infinite idiots just to eat them, not unlike your friend Timmy.
Beth
: Tommy.
Rick
: Yeah, it hardly matters now, sweetie. You know, smart people get a chance to climb on top, take reality for a ride, but it’ll never stop trying to throw you. And, eventually, it will. There’s no other way off.
Beth
: Dad, I’m out of excuses to not be who I am. So who am I? What do I do?
Rick
: My advice -- Take off. Put a saddle on your universe. Let it kick itself out.
Beth
: I can’t do that. The kids, Jerry, my job, and, as much as I hate to admit it, ABC’s "The Bachelor."
Rick
: I can make a clone of you, a perfect instance of you, with all your memories. An exact copy in every way. It’ll love and provide for the kids, do your job, and consume broadcast-network reality TV on the same allegedly ironic level as you. You could be gone a day, a week, or the rest of your life with zero consequences. The moment you decide to come back, I flip a switch, and the clone’s job is done. It feels no pain, it regrets nothing, and has zero chance of going "Blade Runner."
Beth
: If nothing matters, why would you do that for me?
Rick
: I don’t know, maybe you matter so little that I like you. Or maybe it makes you matter. Maybe I love you. Maybe something about your mother. Don’t jump a gift shark in the mouth.
Beth
: I don’t know if I can do it.
Rick
: Then stay, and luxuriate in a life you can finally know you’ve chosen. My secret bonus is that no matter what you choose, you’re finally gonna chill the [bleep] out.
Beth
: Okay. I know what I want to do.

Kiara
: [ Whoosh ] Aah! [ Thud ] Ow! You can’t run forever!
Summer
: She’s really pissed off.
Jerry
: I know. It’s kinda hot.
Summer
: Shut up!
Varrix
: The hunters! They’re back! Run!
Morty
: -We’re not hunters.
Summer
: -We want to hide with you.
Varrix
: We’re not hiding. We’re nesting.
Morty
: Ooh la la.
Kiara
: [ All scream ] The children must be destroyed so that we can be together.
Summer
: You need to break up with her, Dad -- properly! [ Whoosh ] God damn it, Dad! [ Grunts ] Dump her!
Jerry
: Okay, okay. Kiara, let’s just run away.
Summer
: -Dad!
Morty
:-Come on!
Summer
: Just rip the Band-Aid off!
Jerry
: Okay! Kiara, when I told you my kids were bigoted racists who were demanding I break up with you, I lied. If anybody deserves to be telekinetically strangled, it’s me. I’m the one who wants to break up. I -- I’m not an evil person. I’m lazy, I’m cowardly, and -- and I do not know what I’m doing. Look, I got someone pregnant at 17. We’re getting a divorce. None of this is on purpose. I was excited to date someone cool because it would make my ex notice me.
Kiara
: I would expect nothing less from humanity -- a selfish, manipulative, dishonest species that
Trandor
:-- -Kiara?
Kiara
: -Trandor!
Trandor
: What are you doing here?
Kiara
: Just hunting.
Trandor
: Do you really expect me to believe it has nothing to do with us? You knew Earth was my domain.
Kiara
: I don’t like what you’re insinuating.
Summer
: Dad, can we go now?
Jerry
: Hold on a second. I’m starting to get the feeling that I was the rebound.
Morty
: Dad, you just got handed an Ex Machina. You’re taking it.
Trandor
: Varrix nests spread across 300 galaxies, and you just happened to pick this planet to hunt? That’s Gorgon shit -- total Gorgon shit!
(Smith house)
[ Birds chirping ]
Summer
: We’re home!
Beth
: Hey, guys!
Summer
: What’s for dinner?
Beth
: How was Jerry’s?
Summer
: The usual. Can we have pizza?
Beth
: Pizza sounds great.
Morty
: Hey, Rick, did you know my dad was dating an alien? No.
Rick
: Gross.: For the alien.
Beth
: Aw, crap, I think Arnaldo’s is closed. Are you guys sure you want pizza?
Rick
: [ Whoosh ] Arnaldo’s isn’t closed in the dimension where they didn’t invent Daylight Savings!
Beth
: What would we do without you? I love you, Dad.
Rick
: Love you, too, sweetie. By the way, that wasn’t time travel. There were just a couple pizzas on the counter. I grabbed them.

Kiara
: [ Beep ] Hey, Jerry, it’s Kiara. Listen, my boyfriend saw those texts you’ve been sending me, and he got pretty pissed off. If he calls you, just ignore him! [ Beep ]
Carmox
: [ Beep ] This is Carmox. I have intercepted sexual communications between you and my new girlfriend, Kiara. I am coming to kill you now! [ Beep ]
Rick
: [ Beep]Yo, Jerry, it’s the Big R. Uh, I killed that alien that was coming after ya. Looking out for ya, buddy. [ Beep ] [ Beep ] Hey, Jerry, it’s Rick. Don’t be mad. I [bleep] your ex-girlfriend Kiara.
Kiara
:Who are you talking to, Rick? Doesn’t matter.
Michael
:Hey, Jerry, this is Michael down at The Antique Phone rentals. Um, I’m gonna go ahead and let you off the hook for the $70 late fee. You can go ahead and keep that answering machine. Nobody really uses those anymore except for exposition on TV shows, anyways.

Rick
: Morty, hurry!
Morty
: Return the Truth Tortoise!
Rick
: Morty, whatever you do, don’t drop the Truth Tortoise! Also really important, whatever you do, don’t look into its eyes!
Morty
: I I did look at it, Rick! I’ve been looking at it!
Rick
: Now you’re gonna know everything, Morty! Good job! Way to go! You [BLEEP] everything up!
Morty
: It’s in my head! Ah! Oh, geez, I I can’t get that Truth Tortoise out of my head.
Rick
: Yeah, I told you not to look into its eyes. [Smith family living room]Hey, Morty, let’s watch some interdimensional cable. Remember how we used to do that?
Morty
: Rick, I can’t I can’t go on. I-I can’t go on like this with the Truth Tortoise shit in my head. I-I wish you could just
Rick
: Erase the memory from your mind?
Morty
: How did you know I was gonna say that?
Rick
: Come on, Morty, come with me.
Rick
: After you.
Morty
: What the hell is this?!
Rick
: This, Morty, is my archive of all the experiences you’ve begged me to remove from your life, lest you go insane. I call them Morty’s Mind Blowers.
And we’ll be doing this instead of interdimensional cable.
[Opening Credits]
Morty
: How long have I been asking you to remove memories?
Rick
: Since the first time your mind was blown. Ahh, here it is. Classic. There’s no dust on it because this isn’t the first time we’ve done this.
Morty
: - What?! -
Rick
: I call this one "Moonspiracy"!
Morty
: Huh, wow. That’s incredible. What the heck?
Beth
: Morty, do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?
Rick
: Yeah, pretty crazy story, Morty.
Morty
: Are you serious? Half the crap we’ve seen, and you think that sounds crazy?
Rick
: I’ve been to 300 versions of Earth’s moon, including this one, and I’ve never seen signs of a "regular dude," as you describe him, hanging out up there.
Summer
: It’s probably just a smudge on the lens.
Morty
: Smudge on the lens? Smudge on the lens?! I know the difference between a man threatening me and a smudge on the goddamn lens, Summer!
Beth
: Morty, calm down! Are you feeling okay?
Morty
: I’m fine!
Summer
: So sensitive.
[School]
Principal
: Kids, I’d like to introduce you all to our new guidance counselor, Mr. Lunas.
Mr. Lunas
: I look forward to helping guide you all towards a brighter future. I believe every student should shoot for the moon.
Morty
: Got you now, you son of a bitch.
Principal
: What’s this?
Morty
: Proof that Mr. Lunas isn’t who he says he is! He’s not a guidance counselor? I I assume he’s qualified to be one, who isn’t? But he also lives on the moon.
Principal
: Okay. Hmm. Is that it? Is he doing anything to hurt anyone?
Morty
: Oh, he’s up to something.
Principal
: I think I understand. "Up to something," "lives on the moon. " Okay, I’ll talk to him.
Morty
: What did he say?
Principal
: Denied the moon stuff, but that’s what pedophiles do, they deny, it’s their bread and butter.
Morty
: Pedophile?
Principal
: You don’t think so? I thought the moon thing might have been code.
Morty
: No, he’s literally from the moon!
Principal
: Well, you saw him react. Moon or not, that dude likes ‘em young.
[Gravesite]
Marine
: Gordon Lunas was a good Marine. We don’t know what drove him to take his own life, but we want to remember the good things. Like how, from a certain angle, some people would say he looked like a smudge.
[Telescope]
Morty
: Oh, my God, what have I done? What have I done? Jesus, I made that guy kill himself!
Rick
: Only in a literal sense. Here’s one I call "Morty’s Menagerie. " They don’t all have titles, though. It’s not a "Simpsons" Halloween special, more like a clip show made of clips you never saw! I can’t believe we got put into a menagerie.
Morty
: So this guy collects living beings?
Rick
: Yeah, you know like commemorative plates, but less off-putting. You’ll get it when you’re still actively dating in your 40s. Assess this with cold indifference, you beany-headed prick! Hey, keep it down! Just our luck, menagerie beneath the "boulder people" of Granitor Seven.
Morty
: I can’t take it anymore, Rick!
Rick
: Relax, Morty!
Morty
: I can’t relax! R-R-Rick, we We gotta get outta here! I don’t care what it takes! Anything! -
Rick
: Anything? -
Morty
: Anything!
Rick
: All right, well, you’re gonna have to take off your shirt. Not yet. I’ll tell you when.

: Okay, now.
A whole bunch of people I don't know
Greetings.
You’re You look
We’ve possessed forms your mind can accept.
Here are some customary clothing gifts.
Please, put them on.
- May we? - Of course, yes.
We followed your instructions.
We have so much to learn from you.
I know, right?
Morty
: Hey, how come I was able to see those other people’s memories? I I wouldn’t have been around for that.
Rick
: Yeah, sometimes I gotta do a little editing, Morty. It helps the mind blowers play a little bit better upon revisiting. I call this one "The Whole Enchilada. " Here, Morty, this’ll make your urine drinkable.
Morty
: Now can we keep shopping?
Zikzak
: I am Zikzak.
Rick
: Ah, shit, Morty, get behind me. It’s a [BLEEP] alien overlord! It’s okay. Here. Oh, I misjudged.
Morty
: [reads]"I am Floop Floopian. Please kill me."
Rick
: That’s right, Morty. The Floop Floopians achieve an eternal orgasmic afterlife, so long as they’re killed by a great warrior. I’m flattered, by the way. Thank you very much.
Morty
: So you’re gonna kill him?
Rick
: Eh, let’s get some lunch first. So, you want to get shot in the head, or
Zikzak
: Well, as long as the wound is fatal, I don’t really mind where you shoot me.
Rick
: Cool. I’m gonna go take a quick shit.
Morty
: Well, I gotta say. You know, I’m a little envious. Your species has an actual afterlife. That’s gotta be nice.
Zikzak
: Wh-What do you mean?
Morty
: Well, you know, here on Earth, w-we don’t know what’s going on. It must be nice for you guys to, you know, have that Have that proof’s in the pudding, you know, evidence.
Zikzak
: Evidence? There’s supposed to be evidence?
Rick
: Um, yeah, uh otherwise, how do you know if it’s true? Wait, you don’t
Rick
: All right, so you want to do this here or outside?
Morty
: Run!
Zikzak
: I don’t wanna die! Oh, God, it’s all real! Oh, it hurts! Oh, I shouldn’t have doubted it! I shouldn’t have let you make me doubt it! Aah! I blame you, I blame you!
Morty
: But he said there wasn’t any evidence!
Rick
: That was a ton of evidence! Well, silver lining. Now I know their religion’s real. They have a hell, and it does not look good. I noticed you never finished your chimichanga, so I got some room for it now, if you know what I mean.
Morty
: Holy [BLEEP]! How many of these are just horrible mistakes I’ve made? I mean, maybe I’d stop making so many if I let myself learn from them!
Rick
: Don’t break your back creating a lesson, Morty. It’s a freeform anthology. I’m getting annoyed you’re not hearing that. As you can see around me, your mind’s been blown countless times, and not always by yourself.
Morty
: Ah, [BLEEP], I don’t even
Rick
: This better not have been a good one. What is this? Great, "Booger AIDS," "AIDS Booger." I gotta start using real file names.In the meantime, enjoy a grab bag of mind blowers I call "Poop AIDS underscore copy."
Alien King
: I’m not an unreasonable man, Beth Smith. I know children are everything to a mammal. I will spare one of their lives. You simply have to choose.
Beth
: Summer! Summer.
Rick
: You’re not gonna believe this.
I went to Phoebe instead of Titan.
It’s, like, hello, Saturn, after ten moons, time to stop naming and start numbering, you know? What’s Wh-What’s with you assholes?
Beth
: Morty, please, don’t do this.
Morty
: Your Morty is gone! I am Voltamatron, Destroyer of Worlds!
Summer
: Grandpa Rick, there must be some scientific way to save him!
Rick
: Not scientific, but there may be a way. Morty, I know you’re in there. It’s me, your grandpa. I know I can be mean, but I love you, Morty. We all do, you gotta fight this thing. I know you can. You’re stronger than all of us!
Beth
: Morty, it’s mom! We love you, you have to fight it!
Summer
: Come on, Morty! Fight that stupid worm thing! We love you! We love you so much! Yes, Morty, come on, you’re doing it! You’re doing it! You’re doing it! Should we pull it out?
Rick
: No, don’t touch it. Just keep loving Morty!
Beth
: We still love you. But I do have a thing at 6:00.
Summer
: Oh, God, do I have to keep looking?
Rick
: Geez, Morty, come on, pinch it off already! Don’t! Oh, God, sorry, Morty, I love you! God, is there going to be an intermission? Excuse me, but I ordered the large evil space worm.I know, it’s like, is that a demon slug in your stomach, or are you just happy to Sorry!
Morty
: Well, I guess it’s nice to know the whole family sucks! So if the blues ones are my fault, and the purple ones are my family’s, what are the red ones?
Rick
: Yeah, d-don’t read into it, Morty!
Morty
: Ahh.
Rick
: [BLEEP] We need to find shelter before the sunset, Morty. Venzenulon Nine has a night temperature of 300 below! We’ll freeze, Morty! W-We’ll be dead in seconds!
Morty
: I I think I saw a cave over there.
Rick
: You’ve seen too many movies, Morty. A cave isn’t gonna cut it. We’re gonna have to use Beebo.
Morty
: Beebo led us to water! He’s our friend! -
Rick
: He won’t even feel it! -
Morty
: Oh, no, no!
Rick
: You wanna die, Morty? Get in Beebo! Oh, no, no! Brace for the ice limit. Here it comes! Wait, are we on Venzenulon Nine or Venzenulon Seven?
Morty
: Wait a minute, why would I ask for that to be removed? Are the red ones stuff you wanted removed?
Rick
: Ooh, that’s clever, Morty, but I don’t use color to sort things because I’m not a mouse in a European children’s book.
Morty
: Then why are all those pink ones by the liquor?
Rick
: Liquor? [Bleep], that was close.
Morty
: We lost Captain Sky. He gave his life for the uprising.
Rick
: Yeah. It really makes you think, huh, Morty? We should never take things for granite.
Morty
: - What? -
Rick
: I’m just saying, life’s short. We shouldn’t take things for granite.
Morty
: - Are you saying "granite"? -
Rick
: Well, yeah.
Morty
: It’s "granted," with a "D." Take things for granted. Did you actually think it was Jesus Christ, Rick, what are you, a boulder A rock person? How long have you been saying that wrong?
Rick
: Oh, you like that, huh? I b-b-bet that really blows your mind.
Morty
: I mean, yeah, it’s kind of great.
Rick
: - You want me to erase it? -
Morty
: What, you can do that?
Rick
: Ah, [BLEEP].
Morty
: I [BLEEP] knew it, you piece of [BLEEP]! You You You’re a [BLEEP] asshole, Rick!
Rick
: Take it easy, Morty, come on. Just relax.
Morty
: No, I’m not gonna [BLEEP] relax! Come here!
Rick
: Let go of me, you little bitch!
Morty
: I’m gonna grab you by the scruff of your
Rick
: Take that!
Morty
: Ohh! -
Rick
Umm.
Morty
: - Umm. Uhh.- What -
Rick
: What’s going on? -
Morty
: Where am I? -
Rick
: Who are we?
Morty
: Who am I? I think I’m an adolescent boy.
Rick
: Huh, and I’m an elderly man. And we appear to be in some kind of secret confined space.Yeah, umm Don’t look at me like that. For all we know, you could be the [BLEEP] weirdo. Huh, these things are obviously storage units, and since we can’t remember what went wrong, my guess is that the technology involves memory, and that this thing on your head is designed to Tell us the code, jagoff! It’s pointless. He’s stonewalling.
Morty
: Rick, if we don’t unlock those vaccines, Earth dies! You know, it might be time to step up your interrogation!
Rick
: Not sure what you’re implying, Morty, but some lines I don’t cross.
Morty
: Yeah, well, I crossed every line I had when this bastard tried to kill Jessica!
Rick
: Okay, see those two fleshy sacs under his chin, Morty? Grab ‘em. You remember the codes now? Twist! Give us the codes, man! Twist harder, Morty! Harder! Okay, let go, let go, let him breathe. He wants to make a deal. Half the codes now, half after you finish.
Morty
: But can we trust Wait, what? F-Finish what?
Rick
: Y-You know
Morty
: I thought I was torturing him!
Rick
: Oh, and this disappoints you? Do I tell him we don’t have a deal, Morty? Because if we can kill our enemies, but we can’t jack them off, then how are we better than them?
Morty
: Well, what did you find out? We’re partners, I guess, and we fight aliens, like "Men in Black"?
Rick
: "Men in Black," "Men in Black." I have "Men in Black 2" in here.
Morty
: So So you get the general idea.
Rick
: Not quite. It’s basically an endless string of callbacks to
Morty
: All right, save it for Youtube.I’ll keep looking for clues.
Rick
: What are you doing?
Morty
: You want your shelf level or not?
Rick
: And if I say yes, you’re gonna provide that for me with that?
Morty
: Yes, see the bubble?
Rick
: I’m familiar with the bubble, Morty. I also dabble in precision, and if you think you can even approach it with your sad, naked, caveman eyeball and a bubble of [BLEEP] air, you’re the reason this species is a failure, and it makes me angry!
Morty
: You’re drunk.
Rick
: You want to put up a shelf, put up a shelf You want to experience true level? Do you?
Morty
: Y-yes.
Rick
: Ugh, all right, come on.
Morty
: Wow, it’s so Oh, oh, oh, oh, my God, oh, Christ, ooh, ooh, ooh, ahh.
Rick
: Oh, yeah, true level, bitch.
Summer
: Morty, come on, we’re leaving for school.
Morty
: Oh, everything’s crooked! Reality is poison! I want to go back! I hate this!
Summer
: What’s his deal?
Morty
: Can’t live like this! Shh, shh, shh, shh, Morty, Morty, Morty.
Rick
: Go to school, Summer. I’ll go in Morty’s memory and do a little Lambs to the cosmic slaughter!
Morty
: Well? You seem to be in charge of what I get to remember. Why?
Rick
: Good question. Morty, I need darkness to prime these optical inductors. Hit the leftmost light switch by the door for me. The left. Okay, lights on. So, did I just hear three distinct light switch clicks?
Morty
: W-W-What do you mean?
Rick
: I feel like the three sounds I heard could be explained by an initial erroneous flipping of a switch on the right followed by a hasty, corrective flipping of the requested switch. Then during the resultant darkness and silence, a third, shameful unflipping of the initially flipped switch. Is my assessment accurate?
Morty
: Yeah, that’s that’s basically how how it all shaked out. I’m sorry.
Rick
: Ugh. All right, come on.
Morty
: What?!
Rick
: Come on! Grab a shovel.
Morty
: W-What is
Rick
: Grab a shovel! What was that? I can’t find a goddamn zip tie anywhere! All right, [BLEEP] it! Ahh, zip tie. Why are you making me do this for you again?
Morty
: Who doesn’t wish they could talk to animals, Rick?
Rick
: Most humans! There, I’m done, just stay out of trouble!
Squirrels
: Gotta keep moving.
Can’t stop.
Up, down, down, up, up, up, down, up, stop, down.
The queen needs food.
The babies need food.
The queen makes babies.
The situation in Argentina has proven less convenient than predicted.
We’ll have to re-destabilize their economy, refocus labor class outrage from upper to middle, foster a coup, and install a compliant regime.
Same as Guatemala? Yes, but you can double time it.
We need a quorum to pick a new pope, in case the Exxon/Monsanto thing falls through in Africa.
Why not use chemtrails? Put a canopy on Uganda.
They’re set to agitate any mo What? That kid is watching us.
So, we’re squirrels, he’s a kid.
He’s watching us like he hears what we’re saying.
Hey, kid.
Young man? Come here, little boy.
Tell Daphne to run a 199 on a possible Dolittle.
Little boy! We’ll give you wishes if you can hear us! We can make you fly and get candy.
Morty
: Oh, [BLEEP]! Oh, [BLEEP]! [Bleep] me! [Bleep] me! Rick!
Rick
: Ah, [BLEEP], Morty, what did you do? All right, Morty, pack your shit! That’s only gonna keep ‘em down for a little bit, Morty! You [BLEEP] with squirrels, Morty! We got a good five minutes before they’re backing up on our ass, Morty! We have to pack up and move to a new reality, Morty! You know I said we could only do that a couple of times! We’re [BLEEP] over here because of these damn squirrels, Morty!
Morty
: I don’t know what my reaction is, but I think I’m mounting in suspicion of you.
Rick
: - Well, what are you gonna do? -
Morty
: I’m gonna remember everything! Everything! Yeah! Ow! Ah! Ow!
Rick
: Well, what’d you find out? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you gonna do, kill me?
Morty
: No, I’m not gonna kill you. I’m gonna kill myself! All those memories just erased! Sitting in this room collecting dust! W-What’s the point of going on if most of everything that happens just ends up sitting in here?
Rick
: All right, kid. I don’t know much aside from the fact that "Men in Black 2" is a joyless cash grab, but I do know that whatever you have brewing around in your noggin really connected with you.I can’t deny that, and I can’t deny that I’m inspired by your passion. I want in Suicide pact! Yes, yeah, let’s do it! Together, you old son of a bitch! On three! One Two

Summer
: Oh, man, it’s a scenario four. Ugh, [BLEEP] goddamn it! I don’t get paid enough for this shit!
TV
: There’s a Craftsman nearby. I can smell it.
Rick
: Whoa, what what
TV
: Can I help you?
Rick
: H-How did we fall asleep during interdimensional cable? -
Morty
: Yeah, what the hell, Summer? -
Rick
: Summer, you dumb bitch! How long were we out, you dumb bitch! How much interdimensional cable did we miss, you stupid bitch! How many improv TV shows with commercials did we miss, Summer? Why did you let us fall asleep? You dumb bitch! You stupid bitch! All right, Morty, [BLEEP] this noise.Let’s get out of here and go on a classic Rick and Morty adventure.
Morty
: Yeah, right, Rick, I’m allin.
Summer

Summer
: Nothing.

Helicopter Passenger
: Follow the boys! We’re charged and aimed at Alpha Centauri, ready for transport. They fell for it! Let’s send Gobo home! All right! -
Summer
: Where’s dad? -
Beth
: He should be here any second.
Rick
: It’s funny, Jerry spent his life seeking attention, but in the end, humanity’s instinctive dismissal of him saved an alien’s life.
Summer
: He knows where to go, right?
Morty
: Yep, any minute now.
Jerry
: Did it work? Did you guys get Gobo home?
Morty
: You have Gobo! You were supposed to bring him to the hill!
Jerry
: As if. He was in your basket.
Morty
: He was in your car! Oh! Oof! Dibs on his stuff. Did yoof that?

Open Smith kitchen, int. Rick, Jerry, Beth are eating breakfast. Rick is building a robot at the table. Jerry is playing Jerry's Game
Rick starts welding. The bulk of the sparks fly towards Jerry, who turns away to dodge the bulk of them. Morty enters the room
Morty
Hey Rick, I have to make a project for the science fair this weekend. You think you could help me out?
Rick
Whatever.
Jerry
Well, um, traditionally science fairs are a father-son thing.
Rick
Well, scientifically, traditions are an idiot thing.
Beth
typing on phone Morty, I think it will be fun for you to work on a science project with your dad.
Beth sends Morty a text saying “Your father is insecure about his intelligence” which Morty reads
Morty
putting away phone, clears throat Yeah, dad, why don't we do it together?
Jerry
Yes! You backed the right horse on this one, son! We'll get out the crayons, brew some coffee and knock this thing out in two or three days.
Rick finishes the robot he was working on
Butter robot
What is my purpose?
Rick
Pass the butter.
Butter robot passes butter
Rick
Thank you.
Morty
sighs
Summer enters
Summer
Dad, I need a ride to work.
Jerry
Maybe Rick can give you a ride. I'm helping Morty with science.
Rick
I'm busy.
Summer
Doing what?
Rick
Uh, anything else?
Summer glares at Rick. Rick glares back
Butter robot
What is my purpose?
Rick
You pass butter.
Butter robot
Oh my god.
Rick
Yeah, welcome to the club, pal.
into plays
Rick and Summer are in Rick's spaceship. Rick's driving, Summer's in the passenger seat
Rick
Since when did you have a job?
Summer
Since last week. It's part time at this little vintage thrift store. My boss is this really smart eccentric old man that treats me nice and values me.
Rick
Wee-ow, can't wait to meet this fascinating character.
Summer
Please don't.
Trans. Summer's workplace, Needful Things. It's empty except for Mr Needful, who's arranging his wares. Mr Goldenfold enters
Goldenfold
Oh... when did this stop being jamba juice?
Needful
I've just recently opened for business, Mr, um, Goldenfold.
Goldenfold
You know my name? That's disarming.
Needful
I also know you long for female company.
Goldenfold
You know, it has been lonely since the divorce. Some voids can't be filled with jamba juice.
Needful: This aftershave makes a man quite irresistible to women. Free of charge
one never pays here. Not with money.
Goldenfold
Nothing to read into there! Thanks!
Goldenfold takes the aftershave and leaves. Rick and Summer enter
Summer
Sorry I'm late, Mr. Needful. This is my grandpa Rick, he was just leaving.
Rick
inspecting objects Huh.
Needful
Tell me Rick, what do you desire?
Rick
Eh, I make my own stuff. So what are you, like, the devil?
Needful
What? Sorry?
Rick
I dunno, store comes out of nowhere, all the shit's old and creepy; are you the devil? A demon? Leprechaun?
Summer
Grandpa Rick!
Rick
Hey, I'm not judging. I just like to shoot straight. I'm a man of science.
Needful
Ahah. Then perhaps you could make use of this. picks up microscope This microscope reveals things beyond comprehension. Hahahaha.
Rick
Hahahahaha.
The two continue laughing, each getting louder as they try to outdo each other
Summer
Grandpa, go home and drink!
Rick snatches the microscope from Mr. Needful and leaves
Trans. Int. Smith living room. Morty and Jerry are on the floor surrounded by art supplies
Jerry
Why don't we do a model of the solar system? That's what my dad did with me when I was your age.
Morty
Oh. Ok.
Jerry
You know, Rick's in his lab making cyborgs and wormholes and all that weird stuff, but this is real science! A man and his boy, making planets! Hey, how ‘bout we use a ping-pong ball for Pluto, and then Jupiter-
Morty
Uh, actually, I don't think Pluto's a planet.
Jerry
laughing Of course Pluto's a planet, son, I learned that in the third grade.
Morty
Well, yeah, but, you know, they changed it.
Jerry
Morty, nobody changed the planets.
Morty
I just googled it. Uh, Pluto's not a planet. They changed it in 2006.
Jerry
Yeah, I heard about that, Morty. And I disagree.
Morty
You... disagree?
Jerry
That's right. It's possible to disagree in science, Morty. Pluto was a planet, some committee of fancy assholes disagree, I disagreed back. Gimmie a ping-pong ball.
Morty
Um, ok, I just have to-
Jerry
Go find Rick and go for my head about Pluto?
Morty
Gee-no! Geez! I just gotta go to the bathroom! Dayum!
Jerry
Oh. coughs Okay good. This is gonna be fun!
Trans. Int. garage. Rick's building a contraption, connected to a laptop and pointing towards the microscope he got from Mr. Needful. Morty walks past to get to the bathroom, but Rick interrupts him before he can get there
Rick
Hey, Morty, lemme ask you a question real quick. Does evil exist, and if so, can one detect and measure it?
Morty
Um...
Rick
Rhetorical question Morty. The answer is yes, you just have to be a genius.
The machine scans the microscope. A bar on the laptop marked “IQ” drops to close to 0
Rick
Your sister's boss gave me a microscope that would have made me retarded.
Morty
Ooh, oh boy Rick, I don't think you're allowed to say that word, you know?
Rick
Uh, Morty, I'm not disparaging the differently abled. I'm stating the fact that if I had used this microscope, it would have made me mentally retarded.
Morty
Okay, yeah, but I don't think it's about logic, Rick. I think the word's just become a symbolic issue for powerful groups that feel like they're doing the right thing.
Rick
Well that's retarded.
Jerry lifts up the garage door
Jerry
What are you guys talking about?
Rick
Apparently nothing.
Jerry
You asked him if Pluto's a planet, didn't you?
Morty
No!
Rick
It's not.
Jerry
Shut up, Rick.
Rick
Whoa.
Jerry
I don't care what anyone says. If it can be a planet, it can be a planet again. Planet. Planet planet planet.
Jerry leaves angrily
Rick
Stay scientific, Jerry.
Trans. Needful Things, ext. Mr Goldenfold enters the shop, followed by several women. Shot changes to interior. Mr Needful is at the counter, Summer is dusting. Several customers are shopping
Goldenfold
This aftershave made women want me but it also made me impotent!
Needful
A price for everything, Mr. Goldenfold. A price... for everything! Muahahahaha!
Goldenfold
crying Oh my god! How can I not see this coming? My lust! My greed! I deserve thi-
Rick enters, kneels down and injects a serum into Goldenfold's neck
Rick
This serum should counteract the negative effects.
Goldenfold
looking into own pants Holy cats! Ladies, let's get out of here.
Goldenfold and co. leave
Goldenfold
outsideI haven't learned a thing!
Rick
giving back microscope Here. You can have this back.
Needful
You didn't use it?
Rick
Sure I did. To develop this. It detects and catalogues all your Twilight Zone Ray Bradbury Friday the 13th of series voodoo crap magic. I thought you might want it so you didn't accidentally sell anybody, say, scans a typewriter that generates best-selling murder mysteries, then makes the murders happen in real life? Oooh.
Needful
Be quiet!
Rick
Don't you want to make sure people know what they're getting? You're not intentionally selling scans beauty cream that makes ugly ladies pretty but also makes them blind?
A customer looking at beauty cream leaves in a hurry
Needful
I find this all quite preposterous!
Rick
Oh, I say, good sir! Oh, harrumph, oh, oh, bobba-doppa-doopa-bo-bo. scans animal fur scarf being tried on by customer That's beautiful, you know it's going to be wearing you in three hours?
The customer rushes out. All other customers leave too
Needful
Do I need to call the police?
Rick
Here, you can use my phone. Don't worry, it won't make you deaf because I'm not a hack.
Mr. Needful slaps the phone out of Rick's hand. Rick slaps Mr. Needful's hat off his head
Summer
Hey! No! Ugh!
The two start slapping each other. Summer's protests punctuate the fight
Rick
Think you're so great?
Summer
Stop it!
Summer gets between the two
Summer
No! Stop! Hey, hey! Stop it right now!
She pushes them away from each other
Summer
Grandpa Rick, I like working here!
Rick
You work for the devil!
Summer
So what?
Rick and Needful
"So what"?!
Summer
Yes, so what if he's the devil, Rick? At least the devil has a job. At least he's active in the community. What do you do? You eat our food, and make gadgets. Buh bye.
Summer guides Rick out. On the way, Rick purposely knocks over a vase and slams the door. A ghost flies out and into the ceiling with a cackle
Rick
Whoops.
Summer
I'm sorry Mr. Needful, I'll clean that up. I don't know what I can do about the ghost lady that came out of it, but...
Needful
It's fine. Summer, you know your grandfather's right. This store curses people. That's my business.
Summer
Well, yeah, fast food gives people diabetes and clothing stores have sweatshops. Is there a company hiring teenagers that isn't evil? This is my first job. You've been nice to me, Mr. Needful. You respect me.
Needful
Please, call me the devil.
Summer
I'd rather not, actually.
Needful
Yes, perhaps not during business hours.
Trans. Smith living room. Morty's painting planets, Jerry's on the phone
Jerry
I told you, I want to file a declaration that Pluto is a planet! ... Well, then my son's going to fail his science class, and when that happens, I'm suing you first! hangs up I think I know what the A in NASA stands for.
Morty
Dad, what's your endgame?
Jerry
Ain't no game, sucka.
Morty
Why don't we just make the solar system with eight planets? It's even easier!
Jerry
Sure, sure, and why don't we just burn Galileo at the stake for saying the sun is round? Science isn't always easy, Morty!
The house starts shaking. Jerry, Morty and the art supplies start flying
Jerry and Morty
Whoa, whoa! Whoa!
Jerry
What the hell?
The two fly through the roof. A tractor beam from an alien spacecraft has abducted them
Trans. City in Pluto, ext
Trans. Plutonian building. The spaceship lands in front of the door and a ramp appears, leading Jerry and Morty downwards. King Flippynips approaches, being carried by four other plutonians
Flippynips
I'm King Flippynips, ruler of Pluto!
Flippynips is let down
Flippynips
We discovered you quite by accident during routine surveillance of your world. You really gave it to those guys at NASA!
Jerry
I was... you know... sometimes science is about conviction.
Flippynips
I'd like to introduce you to a few people that very much agree with you.
Jerry
Oh. I...
Flippynips leads Jerry and Morty to a balcony overlooking millions of Plutonians, all cheering. Flippynips speaks into a microphone
Flippynips
Plutonians! Jerry Smith is a scientist from Earth where he's creating a model of our solar system! Jerry, tell Pluto about your decision!
Jerry
Pluto... is a planet.
Flippynips
Pluto's a fucking planet, bitch!
Morty
to himself Oh man, this is definitely gonna go to his head.
Trans. Needful things. Mr. Needful is at the counter, serving principal Vagina. Summer is working
Needful
If it's athletic prowess you desire, principal Vagina, I might-
Vagina
taking ball I'll take it!
Needful
But I haven't even-
Vagina
Thank you very very much, great store, great place, bye.
Principal Vagina leaves
Needful
Huh. Okay. I must say, Summer, I thought your grandfather's outburst would have disrupted business, but this is the best weekend I've had since Salem!
Summer
Nice! Wholesome delight for lunch?
Needful
Is that the vegan place?
Summer
Yeah, I love their soup.
Needful
I'm kind of souped out.
A customer enters the store
Needful
Mrs. Tate, is it? What do you desire?
She takes an armful of goods and makes to leave
Needful
Whoa, whoa, slow down, honey!
Tate
Oh, is there a limit? Everything's free, right?
Summer
Let's just say... you don't pay with money. laughing
Needful
laughing That was perfect.
Tate
You pay with the curses, right?
Needful
Um, I... well-
She opens the door to leave
Needful
But Mrs. Tate! Why do you want cursed items?
Tate
Well, I'm going to get the curses removed. At curse purge plus. You know, the guy on TV?
She points at the TV and leaves. Rick's on. Mr. Needful turns up the volume
Needful
What?
Rick
Have you acquired creepy, specific old stuff from an antique or thrift store that grants you powers but fucks with you in unforeseeable ways? Bring it to Curse Purge Plus! I use science to uncurse the items for cash, and you get to keep the powers! This guy got mysterious sneakers to make him run faster! But guess what? He would have had to run until he died, making them worthless. I removed the curse, making them worth, like, I dunno, eight million dollars? See ya at the olympics. This eerily intelligent doll was threatening to murder its family. Now it does their taxes.
Baby
Everything's deductible.
Rick
Don't pay for cool stuff with your soul. Pay for it with money. You know, like how every other store in the world works? We're located at First and Main in old town. Come on, come on down.
Needful
First... and...
Rick
Wubba... lubba... dub dub!
Mr Needful looks outside and pulls up the blind. Curse Purge Plus is opposite Needful Things. Rick's flipping them the bird
Rick
Wubba lubba dub dub!
Rick
That's right across the street from Needful Things, where you can get evil items for free!
Needful
Diabolical son of a mother-
The door opens and customers rush in, looting the place
Trans. Pluto. Jerry's being recorded for a talk show. Morty's watching
Hostess
We're back on Good Morning Pluto, and a very good morning it is for our guest, Earth scientist Jerry Smith, who is making headlines with his bold announcement that is, what Jerry?
Jerry
Pluto is a planet.
Host
laughing How about that?
Hostess
Wow. I love it!
Scroopy Noopers enters from behind Morty
Scroopy Noopers
Morty Smith. I'm Scroopy Noopers. I'm a scientist. Can I show you something?
Morty
Uh... I'd better not.
Scroopy Noopers
pulling out a gun Right now.
Trans. Plutonian mines. Scroopy Noopers takes Morty for a tour. Machines pump glowing blue rocks to the surface
Scroopy Noopers
The centre of Pluto, Mr. Smith, is made up of a substance called plutonium. Mines like these suck Plutonium up to the cities, where corporations use it to power everything, from diamond cars to golden showers. And the more we remove, the more Pluto shrinks.
The planet shakes
Scroopy Noopers
There it goes again. Just shrank a little. But a few years ago, your scientists had noticed Pluto had gotten so small they couldn't even call it a planet any more. Should have been our wake up call. But the rich plutonians won't wake up. And they love your dad telling everyone Pluto's a planet, because that means they can keep mining until Pluto goes from planet to asteroid to meteor, and finally, poof. At the last word, he blows a handful of blue dust into the air
Morty
Um... A party?
Scroopy Noopers
Is everyone in your family an idiot?
Morty
For sure me and my dad are.
Scroopy Noopers
sigh Well, all you have to do is get him to admit that, and you could save four billion lives.
Morty
Uh, yeah, you know, the thing is... my dad's really insecure.
Trans. Needful things. The store is empty except for Summer, who's cleaning up, and Mr. Needful, who's in the back out of view. The shelves are all empty. Summer spots a monkey paw on the floor and picks it up
Summer
Hm, funny. Mr Needful, out of everything in the store you'll never guess what we couldn't get rid of!
She opens the door to the back room and sees that Mr Needful has hung himself
Summer
Ah! Oh my god!
She tries to pull him down. When that fails she pushes at a desk in the corner to try and move it under him, also unsuccessfully
Summer
Oh my god. using monkey paw I wish this desk was lighter!
One of the paw's three fingers goes down. She easily pushes the desk under Mr Needful and struggles to untie the noose
Summer
using monkey paw I wish this knot was looser!
The second finger goes down. The noose comes undone easily and she rushes over and tries to perform CPR, though she doesn't know how
Summer
Come on! I don't... Augh! Wait! What am I doing? using monkey paw I wish I knew CPR!
The third finger goes down. Summer performs CPR
Summer
One, two, three! One, two, three!
Mr Needful splutters and regains consciousness
Needful
coughing Ugh, Jesus. What a waste of a monkey paw.
Summer
Mr. Needful! How could you even think of doing something so horrible?
Needful
I'm the devil. What should I do when I fail, give myself an ice-cream?
Summer
You haven't failed.
Needful
People like Rick are making me obsolete. I mean seriously, I may be the devil but your grandpa is the devil! I just want to go back to hell where everybody thinks I'm smart and funny.
Summer
No! It's not fair. Everyone in this town got something they wanted from you, even Rick! I was your only friend, and I get nothing?
Needful
Okay, I'll give you one thing. Name it.
Summer
I wanna help you.
Needful
Clever twist.
Summer
I learned from the best, you old fart. Now let's go get you hydrated.
Trans. Curse Purge Plus, int. Customers are bringing up their items to be scanned and treated
Rick
Looks like we've got... haunted boxing gloves that will make you the heavyweight champion, in 1936 and then you'll be trapped there winning the same fight for eternity. I can take out the eternity, and the padding, and then you'll have some time travelling mittens.
Summer enters with a box of items
Rick
Oh, look, it's Rosemary's baby! How's business?
Summer
Here's the last of our inventory. We're going to file chapter 11 and do some restructuring.
Rick
Sounds like code for ‘You win, Rick!'
Summer
That was important to you, wasn't it?
Rick
Nope, it was important to your dumb devil friend. To me this was all just a bit like when Bugs Bunny fucks with the opera singer for twenty minutes.
Summer
He tried to kill himself.
Rick
Seriously? Holy crap. Holy crap.
Summer
But you know what, grandpa Rick? He's strong. And he's never going to give up.
Rick
Uh huh, yeah, I don't care.
Summer
Oh, I know. Everyone knows you don't care.
Rick
So?
Summer
So... have fun not caring.
Rick
I always do.
Summer
Good.
Rick
Yeah, it is good. It's the best.
Summer
I'm sure it is. Bye.
Rick
Later!
Summer leaves
Customer
I'm here to pick up my undead cat and child.
Rick
Yeah, uh, gimmie a sec.
Employee
These are the forms for the employee health plan.
Rick
Alright, yeah, uh, put ‘em on my... eh.
He pours gasoline on the floor and sets it on fire
Rick
I just got bored. Everybody out.
Trans. Pluto. Morty and Jerry are in suits in the passenger seats of an alien car. Jerry is fussing over his appearance in a small mirror
Jerry
Alright, just one more rally, then I promise, we'll get back to your science project.
Morty
Dad, Pluto isn't a planet! It's shrinking because of corporations!
Jerry
Yeah, that's what that anti-planet nutjob Scroopy Noopers was screaming about outside the Ministry of Moneys fundraiser. Are you telling me four billion plutonians are wrong?
Morty
You told me science wasn't easy!
Jerry
I said science isn't always easy, obviously that means sometimes it is easy. Let's not debase ourselves with word games, son.
Morty
Dad, their whole planet is dying!
Jerry
Hah! You called it a planet! Checkmate.
The car parks and Jerry gets out, to fanfare
Jerry
What's up, Pluto?
Trans. Plutonian ball. Music is playing. Jerry is being treated like a celebrity. He's approached by a plutonian woman and man
Plutonian woman
Mr. Smith, please! Tell my friend here what you just told me, go on.
Jerry
My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nine Pickles, and the pickles is Pluto.
The plutonian man does a spit take
Plutonian man
My god! The man's a genius!
Morty
Um, excuse me? taps champagne glass with spoon
Jerry
Morty, what?
Morty
Dad, what did you think about the recent report published by the Pluto Science Reader, linking plutoquakes, sinkholes and surface shrinkage to deep core plutonium drilling?
Jerry
...Well son, what did you think when you were five, and you pooped your pants, and you threw your poopy undies out your bedroom window because you thought it was like throwing something in the garbage?
Plutonians
laughing
Jerry
I mean, I'm trimming the hedges and these things are just hanging there, was I supposed to think the poop bunny left them?
Morty
Good one, dad.
Morty leaves
Trans. Smith house, int. Rick's home alone, looking into various rooms
Rick
looks into Morty's room Hey Morty, you wanna go on a- oh. goes into kitchen Hey Beth? Hello? Goes into living room Hey Jerry, you in here being stupid? sighs
Rick eats dinner at the table alone. The butter robot deposits an entire block of butter into Rick's dinner without being asked. Rick throws the butter away
Rick
Thanks. Hey, y'know, I was thinking I might watch a movie...
Butter robot
I am not programmed for friendship.
Rick
Suit yourself.
Morty lands and comes back in. Rick pretends not to be too happy about it
Rick
Hey! clears throat Hey. What's going on?
Morty
Um... listen, can you help me do this stupid science fair project?
Rick
Whatever.
Trans. Pluto. Jerry is preparing for another rally with King Flippynips
Flippynips
Jerry, you must be so excited! The Plutobell Prize is the highest honour a scientist can receive!
Jerry
I'm flattered, and humbled.
Flippynips
Ooh, I like that. Use that in your speech. Also, talk about Pluto being a planet, people like that.
Policeman
Your highness! We've captured Scroopy Noopers!
Scroopy Noopers is dragged in with his hands behind his back by two policemen
Scroopy Noopers
You animals! Animals!
Flippynips
Ooh, look whose little journey's come to an end! Take him to Plutonimo Bay!
Scroopy Noopers
You can't kill the truth, father!
Jerry
What?
Flippynips
I can see you're confused. Plutonimo bay is a military prison, a sort of play on words-
Jerry
Did he call you father? Scroopy Noopers, the anti-planet nutjob is your son?
Flippynips
The young eat the old if you let them, Jerry. Pluto is a cold, cold celestial dwarf.
Jerry
It's a what?
Flippynips
Huh? Oh- planet! Hah! Hoh, Pluto is a cold cold planet! That's what I meant. Knock ‘em dead out there, you. sips champagne
Trans. Award ceremony. Jerry is giving his acceptance speech
Jerry
Pluto is...
He looks down at the card, which just says “Pluto = planet.” In the crowd is a young Plutonian who strongly resembles Morty. Jerry tears up
Jerry
sigh Not a planet.
Crowd
Boo! throws things
Jerry
Ow! It's not a planet! Hey! It's not a planet! I'm an idiot, and I love my son!
Jerry is forcefully dragged away
Trans. N33dful.com launch meeting. Summer and Mr Needful are standing in front of a screen saying “n3”
Needful
It's been a long six hours, but we've overhauled Needful Things into the globally compliant, web 4.0 e-nomenon, n33dful.com! Spelled with 3s instead of Es.
Crowd
Woot! Yeah! Woot! Excited!
Needful
Okay, that's it! We just got bought by Google!
Crowd
Yeah!
Summer hugs Mr. Needful
Summer
Mmh! I'm so proud of you, Lucius. So... how much did we make?
Needful
Haha. ‘We.' pushes Summer away This is my business! Security!
Security comes and takes Summer away
Summer
Ah! You're Zuckerberging me?
Needful
I was Zuckerberging people before Zuckerberg's balls dropped. I'm the devil, beeyotch! What what!
He jumps on the table and plays the fiddle
Trans. Smith house, ext. Jerry is dropped unceremoniously on the ground. His suit is torn, he has a black eye and an injured leg
Jerry
Hey!
He flips off the spaceship and limps inside to Morty's room. Morty's pants are off, but his pubic area is hidden by a laptop
Jerry
Hey Morty.
Morty
Oh! Hey dad! closes laptop Um... What are you doing back from Pluto so quick?
Jerry
Ah, some people just can't handle the truth. Especially dummies like me. Morty, I'm not as smart as your grandpa Rick, but I promise never to make that your problem again.
Morty
Hey, dad? Nobody's smarter than Rick. But nobody else is my dad. You're a genius at that.
Jerry
Wow... that's humbling... and flattering, son. Thank you. What say we finish ourselves an 8-planet solar system?
Morty
Um... I'm just going to take this thing in and... get an A. Holds up butter robot
Butter robot
Butter.
Jerry
But-
Morty
You're a genius at being my dad, dad. Quit while you're ahead. And also, knock next time, you know? I mean, I'm sitting in here, I'm 14! I got a computer in here, you know!
Jerry
Oh. I uh- I think I underst-
Morty
You know you're really playing with fire when you burst in here like that, man.
Jerry
I get it! Say no more.
Morty
I mean, one of these days, you know, you're gonna, you're gonna end up seeing something-
Jerry
I got it! Noted! Goodnight!
Trans. Living room. The lights are off. Rick's watching Ball Fondlers. Summer comes in with mascara smears down her face, as if she's been crying. She turns on the light
Rick
How's your pretend grandpa doing AKA the devil?
Summer
He dumped me.
Rick
Oof, sorry.
Summer makes her way to the couch and sits down, and wipes the mascara off her face. Rick makes room
Summer
Did we learn a lesson here I'm not seeing?
Rick
Hm, not sure.
Summer
Maybe in a much bigger way, Mr. Needful gave us both what we really wanted? Because I was always jealous of you hanging out with Morty and you didn't realise how much you valued my approval?
Rick
No, that's dumb.
Summer
Nah, not satisfying.
Rick
I'll tell you what though, if it's satisfaction you're after, I think I might have an idea. whispers
Summer
listening Uh huh... uh huh... uh huh totally let's do it!
X Gon' Give It To Ya by DMX starts playing. Summer and Rick have a montage of them doing normal family bonding activities, such as weightlifting and doing steroids together. As the song progresses they get more buff. The music stops
Trans. Mr Needful giving a speech
Needful
And that's how I took my storefront into the forefront of the upfront! Thank you Seattle!
The audience applauds. Summer and Rick break down the back of the stage and start beating up Mr. Needful. The audience stops applauding and someone screams
Needful
Rick? Summer?
Rick
Stupid mother-
Summer
Stupid bitch!
Rick
Stupid motherfucker!
Summer
Get some!
Rick
How do you like that! Augh! How do you like that?
Mr. Needful is thrown onto the ground. He has a black eye, a few bruises and seems to be injured. Rick and Summer look down at him from above
Needful
Ugh... Why?
Summer
lifting Mr. Needful by the neck of his shirt Because sometimes what you really need is for someone else to pay a horrible price.
She drops him and lifts her fist as if to punch again. Mr. Needful cowers. Summer spits on him
Trans. Outside a coffee shop. Rick and Summer are both drinking coffee
Rick
We did it!
Summer
Haha, yeah bro. Yeah! Haha!
Rick
Was totally worth it! We did it, hahaha! We just pulled it off!
Summer
Yeah bro!
Rick
Hahaha!
Summer
Yeah.

Jerry
Oh, my God! No, no..!
Summer
I told you!
Beth
Hold on.
Bachelor (on TV)
Will you please... NOT marry me-- I choose Veronica.
Summer
What?
Jerry
Yes!
Beth
Called it.
Summer
Why would he choose Veronica?
Jerry
