Fitz
You're working with him?
Ben Tennyson [Referring to Gwen]
Actually I'm working with her. Kevin doesn't really work. He just stands around flexing his muscles.
Yeah? How about I flex them in your face?

I don't know what you see in him.
Ben, did you ask Grandpa Max if we could use the Comm Center?
Ben Tennyson Do you want to start solving this thing or look for a permission slip?
Ben Tennyson She's one of us.
She was one of us. You have no idea who she is now. You can't trust her.
Ben Tennyson Evidently, I can't trust anyone. I can't even trust Max.
Hey Grandpa. We can't trust you to make soup without putting in baked moths or lizard gizzards in it.
Mmm. That sounds like a pretty good combo.
Whoever you are. You picked the wrong place to break into. You're gonna be one fried, roasted and baked [Elena stands up] babe?
Ben Tennyson It's okay, Max. You probably don't recognize her, she's...
It's not okay. She's a Validus.
Ben stay away from her. The Validus family is blacklisted. There can be no interaction between them and the Plumbers.
Ben Tennyson That's the way you see it. The way I see it. A friend is in trouble. And she's the best link we had to those chips and the freak who's controlling them. A whole lot more people could end up in trouble besides Elena and her father.
I order you stay away from her!
Ben Tennyson Sorry Max. I'm not following that order.
Ben! You can't break plumber ranks! Max, don't let him do this.
It's not up to me. He's made his choice.
Ben Tennyson Kev?
Somebody's gotta stay here and look after the old man.
Kevin! Stop him!
Ben Tennyson Don't worry. I can take care of myself.
Ben Tennyson I'm doing it because I know what it's like. To be on your own in a tough situation you never chose to be in. I didn't ask to be stuck with this. It just happened. And no one who isn't me knows how that feels.
I think I do.
What was that?
Ben Tennyson The most obnoxious muscle car in the world. We're taking a detour.
Ben Tennyson [as Ben's being choked by Max]
We have to restrain him but be careful not to [Kevin absorbs some material and knocks Max out] hurt him.
Like it or not, he usually tells us what to do. We need him.
Ben Tennyson No we don't. He needs us. We have to find the queen and stop her. Helping Max is going to be the least of our problems. Wherever the alien queen is, that's where we find your father and Max. We stop her. We stop the spread of the chips.
Ben, didn't Elena just lead you into a nest of techno-organic zombies?
Ben Tennyson She's coming. One: she's in too much danger on her own now. Two: I trust her.
Ben Tennyson I don't know what to say. I-I can't wait to test her out.
Oh, you're not driving. I said I was going to give you the car. That was before you bailed on the team. I'm keeping her.
Ben Tennyson Oh, I'm driving.
How do you figure?
Ben Tennyson Humungousaur would be happy to throw the car to Missouri.
Infected Woman
We must take you to meet the Queen.
Ben Tennyson We'd really love to, but all that bowing and curtsying? Forget about it!
I'm sorry Elena, but Kevin may be right. If it's a choice between one man and the entire human race.
You said you'd save him! It's not his fault. He's being controlled by the queen.
[Putting his hands on Ben's shoulders]
Dude. I know this is hard, but unless you take out this guy, the whole world falls. You know what Max would do.
Ben Tennyson I don't know what Max would do. But I know what I wouldn't do. I don't destroy victims. I save them!
I think the Omnitrix can turn you into one of these things, but I'm not so sure it can keep you in control once it does. You may become a permanent slave to the hive.
A turbo charged killer weapon slave.
Ben no! I don't want to lose you too.
Ben Tennyson We're out of options. I have to put my faith in the Omnitrix.
Ben Tennyson What? I'm small?!
He's turned into some kind of nanomechanical organism.
Nanomech. I like it.
Ben Tennyson What am I, chopped liver? I just saved the world again.
Kevin Levin Don't look at me. I'm not giving you a hug. (Is hugging Gwen)
I'll hug you.
(they hug) Ben Tennyson I wouldn't hug me so tight if I were you. I flew through a lot of snot.
(Elena laughs, Gwen and Kevin make faces)
Ben Tennyson Grandpa. I - I...
You know what that kind of behavior gets you? [Max hugs Ben]
Ben Tennyson You should be thanking your daughter. If it wasn't for Elena, I'd be at a school football game right now.
He's just being modest.
Ben modest? Impossible.
We make a great team.
We're more than that. We're Plumbers. [Referring to Max] And the Plumbers have a pretty great leader.
Indeed they do. Ben, what would you say if I asked you to step in?
Ben Tennyson What?
Well, I'm not getting any younger. And believe me, I've been waiting for this moment long enough.
