We made it... we made it on time! [both high-five]
Uh, yeah. You're not on time. BECAUSE THE MORNING MEETING'S ALREADY OVER!!!
Sorry, Benson! We would've been here sooner but the cart ran out of gas!
Muscle Man You know who doesn't run out of gas?
LEAVE!! [Muscle Man and Fives bumps into each other and run off, followed by Skips and Pops]
You know, you can't just walk into work whenever you feel like it! We have rules here! And when you break the rules, you're gonna pay the consequences! Wait, pay the consequences or face the consequences?
FACE THE CONSEQUENCES!! [holds two pink pieces of paper reading "OFFICIAL NOTICE OF TERMINATION"]
These are pink slips. One with your name on it, and one with yours on it. And now, it's time for me to say the words I've been waiting to say for a long time. YOU'RE FIRED!!!
[Mordecai and Rigby gasp]
No, Benson! You can't!
Yeah! We got a good excuse!
We bought you breakfast burritos.
Y'know, just to say we're sorry for messing up at work all the time. Right, Mordecai?
Best burritos in the city...
[at a house meeting with the covered body of Future Rigby]
This is crazy... It's crazy! What was he talking about? Time being destroyed?! I... I-I-I-I...
Why don't you tell us about this time machine?
Well, all we wanted after high school was go to College U together... but Rigby got in and I didn't. So we tried to build a time machine to fix it, but it exploded and destroyed the whole science lab.
Muscle Man Whoa! Wait, Rigby got accepted and you were rejected? But Rigby doesn't know anything about anything!
Muscle Man You must've really tanked on that college essay.
Pfft! Yeah, who knows? We both got expelled, and our science teacher Mr. Ross got fired. Rigby didn't graduate and lost his scholarship to College University, and I ended up just going to junior college. Rigby crashed with me in my dorm. I dropped out of college, and then we loafed around for a bit, we got this job at the park—
Okay, okay, I think we're caught up, Monologue Johnson.
P Pops
I don't understand. How can Mordecai and Rigby stop being friends?
HF Hi-Five Ghost
If they can't make it, then you and me have no chance!
Muscle Man Yeah, bro. What was the future you saying about you having to tell the truth or something? Did Mordo blow you away over some crazy secret?
Uh... what? No... I-I don't know! It must be something that happens in the future.
This can't be happening. This has to be a prank. This has to be a prank! Muscle Man, I won't even be mad at you if you just tell me you're orchestrating all of this.
Muscle Man Bro, I'm somewhat flattered that you think my craft is at this level, but ultimately I'm deeply offended that A, you'd think I'd put my buns through this turmoil, and B, that you'd think I'd listen to orchestra music!!
Muscle Man [Later Muscle Man and Hi-Five Ghost climbs up back to the crater]
All right, now to get to back to doing what we do best, guarding a space ship that our only hope to get back hooooome.....?
Muscle Man [The ship is gone in not a sight]
Is this the right crater?
[The van shows up, and Skips get out and finds out the ship is gone]
What did you do?!
Muscle Man Nothing, Skips. Honest. We just went to the bathroom real quick, and when we came back the ship was gone.
The ship doesn't even work, how can it be gone?! AND WHY ARE YOU NAKED!!?
Muscle Man You know what? I'll... I'll go over there!
[sighs]
How in the world can this happen? [he finds a black shirt and reads the back] "I Ate From the Trash at Paparelli's."
HF Hi-Five Ghost
Hey, Muscle Man, didn't you had a shirt like that, since years ago?
Muscle Man Yeah. [realizes something] Oh, no, bro.
