[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.

Whoa! Wait, Rigby got accepted and you were rejected? But Rigby doesn't know anything about anything!

Hey!!

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.

I don't understand. How can Mordecai and Rigby stop being friends?

If they can't make it, then you and me have no chance!

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.

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!!
