Wallace
[to Scott]
Hey! What's up with his outfit?
G Guy
Yeah. Is he a pirate?
Scott
[audience titters] [to Matthew]
Are you a pirate?
Matthew
[defensive]
Pirates are in this year.
Scott
[Scott and Matthew fight some more, and Scott seizes him by the arms.] [to Ramona]
You really went out with this guy?
Ramona
[spotlight shines on Ramona]
Yeah. In the 7th grade.
Scott
And?
Ramona
[sighs]
It was football season, and for some reason, all the little jocks wanted me. Matthew was the only non-white, non-jock boy in town. So the two of us joined forces, and we took 'em all down. We brawled, and scrapped, and fought for hours. Nothing could beat Matthew's mystical powers. We only kissed once. After a week and a half, I told him to hit the showers.
Scott
Dude, wait. Mystical powers?
Matthew
[pushes Scott back; to Ramona]
You'll pay for this...Flowers. [singing] ♪ If you want to fight me ♪
S Stacy
[confused and flatly]
What?
Matthew
Ha! ♪ You're not the brightest. You won't know what hit you in the slightest. ♪ [vocalizes and makes Demon Hipster Chicks appear.]
Stephen
[stunned]
This guy's good.
Matthew
♪ Me and my fireballs. ♪ [hisses] ♪ My Demon Hipster Chicks. ♪
DH Demon Hipster Chicks
Tell 'em, Matty.
Matthew
♪ I'm talking the talk, 'cause I know I'm slick. ♪ [winks]
DH Demon Hipster Chicks
S-L-ick.
Matthew
♪ Fireballs, take this sucker down. Let us show him what we're all about. ♪
Scott
[angrily]
That doesn't even rhyme! [throws a cymbal which hits Matthew on his head, and makes the Demon Hipster Chicks disappear]
Matthew
[thinking]
This is impossible. How can this be?
Scott
[also thinking]
Open your eyes. Maybe you'll see. [flies toward Matthew video-game-style and punches his face]
Scott
[Matthew turns into coins, thus earning Scott 1,000 points.] [happily]
Sweet! Coins. [he picks up the coins]
M Man
God, did that just happen?
AM Another Man
That just happened.
Ramona
Well...it was nice meeting you. Tell your...gay friends I said bye.
S Stacy
[confused]
"Gay friends"? [shocked and angry] Wallace! Again?!
W Woman
[Wallace and Jimmy kiss, and a heart is written over them]
Get a room, guys!
Scott
Oh, man, $2.40? That's not even enough for the bus home.
Ramona
I'll lend you the 35¢.
SG Sound Guy
Yeah, so, Sex Bob-Omb wins.
Knives
[recovering]
Sex Bob-Omb won? [starts whooping, but stops and doesn't see Scott; saddened] Oh.
Scott
[later on the bus]
So...what was all that all about?
Ramona
Um...I guess... if we're gonna date, you may have to defeat my seven evil exes.
Scott
You have seven evil ex-boyfriends?
Ramona
Seven evil exes, yes.
Scott
And I have to fight--
Ramona
Defeat.
Scott
Defeat your seven evil exes if we're going to continue to date?
Ramona
Pretty much.
Scott
So, what you're saying right now is we are dating?
Ramona
Uh, I guess.
Scott
Does that mean we can make out?
Ramona
[smiles]
Sure.
Scott
Cool.
Kim
Where's Knives? Not coming tonight?
Scott
No, we broke up. Hey, check it out. I learned the bass line from Final Fantasy II. [strums "Final Fantasy II" bass line.]
Kim
Scott, you are the salt of the Earth.
Scott
[obliviously]
Oh, thanks.
Kim
I meant, "Scum of the Earth."
Scott
[obliviously]
Thanks.
Young Neil
You broke up with Knives?
Scott
Yeah. But don't worry. Maybe soon, you'll meet my new-new girlfriend.
Young Neil
"New-new"?
Stephen
[Kim mimics shooting herself through the head while imitating a gunshot, and collapses on her drum kit.]
Okay. From here on out, no girlfriends or girlfriend talk at practice, whether they're old, new, or new-new.
Young Neil
[at the same time as Stephen]
New-new.
Stephen
We were lucky to survive the last round. It's sudden death now, okay?
Scott
Okay. [he and Sex Bob-Omb play "Summertime," but a doorbell ringing interrupts him] [excited] That's for me! That's for me, that's for me. [opens door from Ramona] Hey, you're here. [notices Ramona's hair is blue.]
Ramona
Yes, like you said. [Ramona enters and Scott closes the door.]
Scott
You know your hair?
Ramona
I know of it.
Scott
It's all blue.
Ramona
I change my hair every week-and-a-half, dude. Get used to it. [Scott stares at Ramona's hair] So...how do you guys all know each other?
Young Neil
Um, high school, I guess.
Stephen
What Neil said.
Young Neil
[introducing himself]
I'm Neil.
Kim
[to Ramona, smiling]
Believe it or not, I actually dated Scott in high school.
Ramona
Oh, got any embarrassing stories?
Kim
[chuckles]
Yeah. [smile disappears] He's an idiot.
Scott
[puts on hat]
Okay, bye. See you guys tomorrow.
Stephen
What about rehearsal?
Scott
Neil knows my parts. [he and Ramona leave]
Young Neil
I'm Neil. [Kim and Stephen stare at him]
Scott
[While Ramona and Roxy fight Anime-style, Scott ducks over to Wallace]
Wallace?
Wallace
Uh-huh?
Scott
This is happening, right?
Wallace
Oh, yeah. [yelling] Kick her in the balls!
R Roxy
[As they continue fighting, Roxy grabs Ramona's hammer with her chain sword]
I'm sending you back to Gideon in a thousand pieces, you slag! [throws the hammer out of the window] Ha! [turns around, Ramona axe-kicks her in the head and she falls to the floor.]
Ramona
I'd rather be dead than go back. He's a creep, you're a bitch, and you all deserve each other.
R Roxy
Give it a rest, Ramona; This is a League game!
Ramona
Meaning?
R Roxy
[stands up]
Meaning your precious Scott must defeat me with his own fists!
Scott
[Everyone looks at Scott expectantly] [nervous]
Uh, I don't think I can hit a girl. They're soft.
Ramona
You don't have a choice.
R Roxy
[Ramona grabs Scott and uses his arms and legs to fend off Roxy's attacks]
Fight your own battles, lazy ass! [vanishes] [seven seconds later] Lazy ass! [re-materializes, forcing Scott and Ramona apart, and punches Scott into the rafters. He falls and lands in a pile on the ground.] Every Pilgrim reaches the end of his journey, some sooner than others. [raises her leg in an axe kick] Your BF's about to get F'd in the B! [brings her leg down in slow-mo]
Ramona
[voice slowed down]
Her weak point's the back of her knees.
Scott
[voice slowed down]
Wait, how does that work?
Ramona
[voice slowed down]
Whenever we were making out, I would just--
Scott
[voice slowed down]
Okay, enough!
R Roxy
[He prods Roxy in the back of her knee. Roxy, overcome, gasps and, while moaning, collapses on the floor and writhes.]
You'll never... be able to do this... to heeerrr!!!
[She explodes into coins, with an orgasmic moan, thus earning Scott 4,000 points.]
Scott
[after being fatally stabbed in the heart and killed by Gideon; moaning]
Oh, man.
Ramona
Sorry. Dying's got to suck.
Scott
You know what sucks? Getting killed by that guy. Why him?
Ramona
It's complicated.
Scott
Well, I'm not going anywhere, so... now might be a good time to get into it.
Ramona
Truth is...it was me who was obsessed. I was crazy about him. But he ignored me. I was more alone when we were together than I ever was on my own. That's why I had to leave. And that's when he started paying attention.
Scott
So, why go back?
Ramona
I can't help myself around him, Scott; He just...has this way of getting into my head.
Scott
Well, that's legitimately disappointing. I really will leave you alone forever now.
Ramona
No, he literally has a way of getting into my head. [shows chip on the back of her neck]
Scott
[shocked]
That is evil.
Ramona
I didn't mean for you to get dragged into this, Scott. I just wanted something simple. I'm sorry it had to end this way.
Scott
Well, I really fought for you.
Ramona
Maybe I'm not the one you should have been fighting for. [turns to dust]
Scott
What? But-- But-- I feel like I learned something. [saddened] Which would be great if I wasn't dead. [collapses to his knees] So-- So alone.
Ramona
You're not alone.
Scott
[notices a video game 1-UP; determined]
Right! [uses 1-UP to revive and re-enters the Chaos Theatre from the beginning.] [to one of Gideon's goons] Your hair looks stupid. [Goon gasps in shock and turns into coins, earning Scott Pilgrim 700 points. Two goons block the elevator]
RG Right Goon
Second password? [Scott defeats both of them, earning 700 points each, and goes down the elevator.]
C Comeau
[chatting to partygoers.]
I mean, I saw it. It's just the comic book is better than the movie. [notices Scott] Hello. [Scott barges past him, earning 350 points per person, to the stage where Sex Bob-Omb, as before, notice Scott and stop playing]
Stephen
Scott! Let it go.
Scott
Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Stephen, the new line-up rocks. You guys sound way better without me. Young Neil, you have learned well. From this point forward, you will be known as... Neil.
Neil
[pleasurably]
Ohh.
Scott
And Kim... [Kim raises an eyebrow] I'm sorry about everything. I'm sorry about me. [surprised, Kim smiles at him for the first time]
Gideon
[from the other side of the club]
Scott Pilgrim! Hey, buddy!
Scott
Save it! You're pretentious. This club sucks. I've got beef. Let's do it. [charges toward Gideon]
Gideon
Wait, wait, w-w-wait! [Scott stops running] You wanna fight me... for her?
Scott
No. I want to fight you for me. [falters back]
Narrator Voice
Scott earned the Power of Self-Respect.
Gideon
[Scott pulls out the samurai sword from his chest, leveling up even higher.] [confused]
Umm--
Scott
KIM!
Kim
[extremely enthusiastically]
WE ARE SEX BOB-OMB AND WE ARE HERE TO WATCH SCOTT PILGRIM KICK YOUR TEETH IN!!!! ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR!!!! [Sex Bob-Omb starts playing a faster upbeat rock song]
Scott
[Obliterating all of the hipster henchmen faster than before, Scott rushes towards Gideon. They lunge at each other, Ninja-Gaiden-style with swords drawn, and Scott slashes Gideon across the shoulder, who tumbles to the ground upon impact, making him drop his gum from out of his mouth] [landing]
How's it going back there?
Gideon
You... dick! [slumps, earning Scott 7,000 points]
Scott
[calling]
Knives? I know you're in here. Don't attack Ramona.
Knives
SCOTT!!! [They turn just as Knives flying-kicks Ramona in the head, knocking her to the ground, and unknowingly breaks the chip on the back of her head] Steal my boyfriend, [twirls sai] taste my steel! [lunges to attack Ramona, but Scott blocks her]
Scott
Enough!
Knives
No, Scott! [kicks Scott in the neck] This fat-ass hurt me, and I will have my revenge!
Scott
No, Knives, I hurt you. I cheated on you. [Scott turns to each of the girls. Ramona gets up.] I cheated on both of you. I'm really sorry. [turns to Ramona] And you're not a fat-ass. She didn't mean that. So, are we all good?
Ramona
[The chip on the back of Ramona's neck shorts out, and powers off] [relieved]
Never felt better.
Gideon
Yoo-hoo! [they all turn to Gideon, who is standing directly behind them] Are we done with the hugging and the learning? [puts a new piece of gum in his mouth] I thought we had a fight going on here!
Scott
Oh, you've got a fight, all right. [prepares himself, and a VS. sign appears between him and Gideon]
Gideon
Wrong move, baby. [Gideon summons an 8-bit pixelated katana, and they begin to fight. Scott blocks Gideon's swings, and Scott falls to the floor. Gideon almost kills Scott with his pixelated katana, but Knives blocks and forces Gideon back, causing him to swallow his gum. "2 Player Mode" appears.] You made me swallow my gum. [adjusts his glasses.] It's gonna be in my digestive tract for 7 years! [Scott and Knives fight Gideon, but Gideon kicks Knives off, and Gideon and Scott continue to fight; Scott slashes Gideon's cheek, earning 3,500 points, but Gideon breaks Scott's sword] [to Ramona] Yeah. Still my girl. [Ramona puts her arms around him, and Scott looks up nearly heartbroken.]
Ramona
Let's both be girls. [knees Gideon in the groin causing him to scream in pain. Knives steals the pixelated katana, and Gideon angrily slaps Ramona]
A Announcer
Bad! [Ramona falls to the floor] Bad! [Gideon kicks Ramona down the stairs.] Bad!
Gideon
[Scott and Knives watch in horror as Ramona falls down the stairs. Gideon turns around to see Scott and Knives staring at him angrily] [cockily]
What?
A Announcer
Get ready! [Gideon's cocky smile disappears] Here we go! [Scott and Knives charge toward Gideon and beat him up.] Good! Good! Good! Combo! [Scott grabs Gideon by the tie, flips him upside-down, and Knives kicks him.] Perfect! [Gideon is flipped around and is gravely wounded, as he flashes and glitches angrily.]
Gideon
[voice distorted]
Who do you think you are, Pilgrim? You think you're better than me? I'll tell you what you are. A pain in my ASS!! Do you know how long it took to get all the evil exes' contact information so I could form this stupid League? Like, two hours! TWO HOURS! [coughs and hacks out coin] You're not cool enough for Ramona. You're zero. You're nothing! Me, I'M what's hip! I'M what's happening! I'M blowing up right now!
Scott
You are blowing up. RIGHT NOW! [drop-kicks Gideon in the head]
Narrator Voice
K.O.!
Knives
[Gideon turns into a shower of coins, earning Scott 7,000,000,000 points. Coins rain down in slow-mo] [voice slowed down]
Wow!
Scott
[voice slowed down]
Yeah. Wow.
Kim
[Normal speed; Sex Bob-omb jump back as the mass of coins land on the stage] [deadpan]
There goes our deal.
Stephen
We're still getting paid, right?
Kim
There goes our deal.
Neil
Oh.
Stephen
[panicked]
Oh, God!
Ramona
[Stephen scrambles to pick up the coins. Neil picks up a coin, and Kim mimes shooting herself in the head and collapses on her drum kit as Neil puts the coin in his mouth] [gets up and sees Scott and Knives walking down the stairs]
You two make a good combo.
Scott
[happily]
Yeah?
Ramona
Yeah.
Gideon's Voice
[whispering]
Scott Pilgrim. [chuckles] You can defeat me, Scott. But can you defeat yourself?
Knives
[Nega Scott, an evil version of Scott Pilgrim, appears]
Uh-oh. Nega Scott.
A Announcer
Nega Scott. [Knives and Ramona prepare to fight]
Scott
[stops Knives and Ramona]
No. This is something I have to face. [walks toward Nega Scott] Myself. [tosses Gideon's glasses]
Scott
[scene cuts outside the Chaos Theater] [talking to Nega Scott]
They have this incredible French toast with, like, bananas on it, and you get bacon on the side.
NS Nega Scott
Oh, I'm likin' that.
Scott
Well, let's do it next week.
NS Nega Scott
Yeah, Tuesday.
Scott
Yeah, all right. Be good.
NS Nega Scott
Yeah, yeah.
Scott
Hey.
K Knifes
[Nega Scott whistles as he walks away]
What happened?
Scott
Oh, nothing, we just shot the shit. He's, he's just a really nice guy. We're gonna get brunch next week. We, uh, we actually have a lot in common.
K Knifes
Your hair, it's getting really shaggy.
Scott
[his hat appears in a comedic manner]
It is?
K Knifes
Yeah. [removes Scott's hat] You should probably get it cut.
Scott
[smiles]
Yeah, you're right. I should get it cut.
Scott
Salon, yeah. That sounds really nice. [to Ramona] Hey. You're-- You're goin'?
Ramona
I should probably disappear.
Scott
After all that?
Ramona
I still need a new life. I came here to escape, but the past keeps catching up. I'm tired of people getting hurt because of me.
Scott
I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get over it.
Ramona
I don't mean just you.
Scott
[saddened]
I understand.
Ramona
I should thank you, though.
Scott
For what?
Ramona
For being the nicest guy I ever dated.
Scott
That's kind of sad.
Ramona
It is kind of sad.
Scott
Well, bye, and stuff.
Ramona
Yeah. And stuff.
Julie
So how was the tour? You guys play with the Pixies? You're like a superstar now.
Envy
Yeah, it's, uh, not really something I can put into words.
Knives
Um, Envy... [everyone glares at her] I read your blog.
Envy
So, Scott and Ramona, eh?
Ramona
What of it?
Envy
You guys make a cute couple you know. [Todd scoffs] Suit each other.
Knives
[pleasurably]
You're my role model, Envy.
Envy
Ramona, I like your outfit. Affordable?
Julie
[interrupts]
Envy, I was just gonna say, did you get those jeans in New York?
Envy
[stops Julie, not wanting to explode]
I'm talking to Ramona right now.
Scott
[Scott falls back to solid ground after hitting a light fixture. Ramona runs over to him] [weakly]
If I peed my pants, would you pretend I just got wet from the rain?
Ramona
It's not raining.
Scott
Oh. Then, why don't you give me the Cliff Notes on how and why you ended up dating this A-hole.
Ramona
Is it really important right now?
Scott
Well, if there's a key element in his backstory that's gonna help me out in a critical moment of not dying, yes.
Ramona
[looking defeated]
I was only dating Lucas until the minute Todd walked by. Guess that's not very nice, but I used to be kind of...like that. We hated everyone, we wrecked stuff, nobody cared. He punched a hole in the moon for me. It was pretty crazy. A week-and-a-half later, he told me his dad was sending him to Vegan Academy, so, I dumped him.
Scott
Have you dumped everyone you've ever been with? You've never been the dumpee?
Ramona
Look, I've dabbled in being a bitch. It's part of the reason I moved here. I was really hoping to just...leave it all behind me.
Envy
[gasps]
Oh, my God.
Todd
[shocked]
No. No...
Scott
You once were a ve-gone, but now you will be gone.
Todd
[incredulous; his last words]
"Ve-gone"?
Scott
[Scott headbutts Todd, who bursts into coins, thus earning Scott 3,000 points. Scott holds his forehead and groans in pain. The two Vegan Police Officers exit in slow-mo, high-fiving and exclaiming, "YEAH!" as they do.] [to Envy]
Uh...sorry, I guess.
Envy
[in disbelief]
"Sorry"? You just head-butted my boyfriend so hard he burst.
Scott
You kicked my heart in the ass, so, I guess we're even...Natalie.
Envy
[confused]
"Natalie"? No one calls me that anymore.
Scott
Maybe they should. [to Ramona] Let's get out of here. [he and Ramona leave and Scott also holds his back.]
Julie
[appearing out of nowhere]
For the record, I am so pissed off for you, right now.
Envy
[annoyed]
Shut the [bleep] up, Julie.
Julie
[obliviously]
Okay.
Stephen
[scene cuts to Pizza Pizza]
We're still going to the after-party, right?
Kim
I'm not sure there's going to be much of a party. I think a third of the band just went poom.
Stephen
Yeah, cool bands never go to their own after-parties. Just the desperate people trying to rub elbows with the label guys.
Kim
Then why would we--? [realizing] Oh.
Stephen
[to Neil]
Neil, you down? [to Scott] Scott, you're in, right?
Ramona
You wanna go?
Scott
Well...I kind of almost died back there.
Ramona
I'm not saying I want to go.
Scott
Yeah, we can totally go.
Ramona
I'll do whatever you want to do.
Scott
So, let's go.
Ramona
["ABOUT TO E-X-P-L-O-D-E" appears]
We really don't have to go to this thing. It'll probably be a bad scene all around.
Scott
No, I'm fine. It's just--
Ramona
"It's just"?
Scott
Well...have you ever dated someone that wasn't a total ass?
Ramona
Well, so far, you're not a total ass.
Scott
But I'm part ass?
Ramona
If it makes you feel better, you're the nicest guy I've dated.
Scott
Wait, is that good?
Ramona
It's what I need right now.
Scott
But not later?
Ramona
Scott, I don't have all the answers, okay? I'd just like to try and live in the moment if I can.
Scott
I'd just like to live. [he and Ramona arrive at The Clash at Demonhead's after-party.]
Ramona
Look, I know Todd was bad news, but are you saying Envy wasn't? We all have baggage.
Scott
Yeah, well, my baggage doesn't try and kill me every five minutes. What did you do to make your ex-boyfriends so insane?
Ramona
Exes.
Scott
Whatever.
Ramona
No breakup is painless; somebody always gets hurt. What about you and that girl, Knives? Who broke up with who?
Scott
I believe I broke up with her.
Ramona
And was she cool with that?
Scott
Knives is with Young Neil now; she's totally cool with it.
Ramona
You're sure about that?
Scott
Yeah, she's very mature for her age. We had a very healthy break-up. We're all peaches and gravy.
Knives
[whines]
No!
Ramona
What about you and Kim?
Scott
Me and Kim? I can barely remember. It was high school. She had freckles.
Ramona
That's it?
Scott
Yeah, it kind of ended. We changed.
Ramona
That's really the whole story?
Scott
Okay, fine. I had to fight a guy to be with her, okay? I fought a crazy, 80-foot-tall purple-suited dude, and I had to fight 96 guys to get to him. He was flying and shooting lightning bolts from his eyes, okay? And I kicked him so hard that he saw the curvature of the Earth. Does that make you feel any better?
Ramona
Well, now you are being a total ass. Welcome to the club.
Scott
I'm sorry; I'm not usually like this.
Ramona
Hey, don't worry. I don't even know what I'm like anymore.
Scott
[rubbing his eyes]
I think this ex-boyfriends thing is messing with my head.
Ramona
Exes.
Scott
Why do you keep saying that? [gets kicked in the face from behind, slams into the bar counter and falls flat on the floor. He looks up at his attacker.] [stands up, thinking] The girl from earlier?
Ramona
Roxy?
Scott
You know this girl?
R Roxy
Oh, boy, does she know me.
Scott
[deeply confused]
What is she talking about?
RR Roxy Richter
He really doesn't know?
Scott
[realisation dawning]
Wait.
R Roxy
Hmm. [smiles suggestively]
Scott
[Inside Scott's head, a lever switches from "NO CLUE" to "GETS IT"] [to Ramona; shocked]
You and her?!
Ramona
It was just a phase.
R Roxy
[incensed]
"Just a phase"?
Scott
You had a sexy phase?
Ramona
It meant nothing. I didn't think it would count.
R Roxy
[angrily]
"It meant nothing"?!
Ramona
I was just a little bi-curious.
R Roxy
Well, honey... [cracks knuckles] I'm a little bi-FURIOUS! [performs a slow-mo spinning kick aimed at Scott, but is blocked by Ramona. A pink VS. sign appears between them and Ramona throws Roxy back.]
Ramona
Do that again, and I will end you!
R Roxy
Back off, has-bian! If Gideon can't have you, no one can! [whips off her belt, which turns into a chain-sword.] The League has spoken!
Ramona
Well, then Gideon best get his pretentious ass up here, 'cause I'm about to kick yours out of the Great White North! [pulls a massive stone hammer out of her purse]
