B.E.N.
[upon encountering Jim]

Oh, this is fantastic! A carbon-based life form come to rescue me at last! I just want to hug you and squeeze you and hold you close to me.

B.E.N.

I'm sorry, my memory isn't what it use to be I've, um, lost my mind! [laughs] "Lost my mind!" You haven't found it, have you? My missing piece? My primary memory circuit?

B.E.N.
[singing]

Yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirate's life for me!

B.E.N.

Disable a few laser cannons. What is the big deal? All we gotta do is find that one little wire... [discovers countless similar wires that control parts of the ship] Oh, Mama.

B.E.N.

This has gotta be cannons. [The gravity turns off] Maybe not.

B.E.N.
[After removing the plug which controls gravity]

BACK YOU GO, YA NAUGHTY PLUG!

B.E.N.

Jimmy, I don't know about you, but I'm starting to see my life pass in front of my eyes. At least, I think it's my life. WAS I EVER DANCING WITH AN ANDROID NAMED LUPE?!

B.E.N.
[after finally getting back his memory circuit]

You know, uh, Jimmy, I was just thinking... I was just-- Think-- It's all flooding back! All my memories! Right up until Flint pulled my memory circuit so I could never tell anybody about his BOOBY TRAP! [an explosion is heard] Speaking of which...

B.E.N.

Flint wanted to make sure nobody could ever steal his treasure! So he rigged this whole planet to blow HIGHER THAN A KALEPSIAN KITE!

B.E.N.

I am not leaving my buddy Jimmy! [Jim scowls at him] Unless he looks at me like that. BYE, JIM!

11 scenes

I gotta find a place to hide, and there's pirates chasing me--

B.E.N.

Oh, pirates! Don't get me started on pirates! I don't like them. I remember Captain Flint. This guy had such a temper.

Wait, wait, wait. You knew Captain Flint?

B.E.N.

I think he suffered from mood swings, personally. I'm not a therapist in any way, but I--you let me know when I'm rambling!

[sighs]

Look, if you're gonna come along, you're gonna have to stop talking.

B.E.N.

HUZZAH! Ha-ha-ha! Oh, this is fantastic! Me and my best buddy are lookin' for a...

[clears throat]
B.E.N.
[whispers]

Being quiet.

And you have to stop touching me.

B.E.N.

Touching and talking. Those are my two big no-nos.

[spots Captain Flint's skeleton]

Captain Flint?

B.E.N.

In the flesh! Well, s-sort of. Except for skin, organs... or anything that--that resembles flesh - that's not there.

B.E.N.
[To Jim, as Delbert help Amelia in the cubby tree]

Uh, pardon the mess, people, I yet. You'd think in a 100 years, I've would've dusted a little more often, but, you know and know. [picks up a chest game and throw down in the ground, he took a dress] When your batchin' it. [gasps in glee] You tend to, uh, let things go. [Delbert holding Amelia and put on the ground] Aw, isn't that sweet? I find old-fashioned romance so touching, don't you? How about drinks from the happy couple?

Ooh, uh, ooh. Uh, no. Ha-ha. [take off jacket] Thank you we don't drink and the... and the we're not a couple. [Amelia smiley emotion; clears throat] Look at the these markings. They're identical to the ones of the map. I suspect these are the hieroglyphic remnants of an ancient culture.

Mr. Hawkins, stop anyone who tries to approach. Ohh!

[stays down to Amelia with his jacket like the pillow]

Yes, yes. Now listen to me. Stop giving orders for a few milliseconds, and lie still.

Very forceful, Doctor. Go on, say something else.

B.E.N.

Hey, Look! There's some more of your buddies! [to crew] HEY FELLAS! WE'RE OVER HERE, FELLAS! [pirates aims and shoots at him] OH! UHH! OOH! OHH!

[Jim shoots to crews at the cubby tree house, but Silver tells the crews to stop shooting]

STOP WASTING YOUR FIRE! [approaches the pirates] HELLO, UP THERE! [but what Jim look around at Silver, to get pirate flag from the longboat] Jimbo? If, uh, it's all right with the captain. I'd like a short word with ya. No tricks, just a little palaver.

Come to bargain for the map, doubtless. Pestilential. [moans]

[sheepishly]

Captain.

[flatly]

That means...that he thinks we still have it.

[delirious from injury]

Gentlemen... we must stay together and... and... [groans]

And what? What?! [takes off glasses] We must stay together and what?!

Doctor, you have... wonderful eyes.

She's lost her mind!

Well, you gotta help her!

Dang it, Jim! I'm an astronomer, not a doctor! I mean, I am a doctor, but I'm not that kind of doctor! I have a doctorate, but it's not the same thing! You can't help people with a doctorate, you just sit there and you're useless!

Is okay, Doc. [Delbert sighs] Is all right.

B.E.N.

Yeah, Doc! Jimmy knows exactly how to get out of this. It just-- It's just Jimmy has this knowledge of things. [whispered to Jim] Jim, any thoughts at all?

Without the map, we're dead. If we try to leave, we're dead. If we stay here.

Morph
[Imitating Jim]

We're dead! We're dead, we're dead, we're dead!

B.E.N.
[Jim sighs]

Well, I think that-that Jimmy could use a little quiet time. [Laughs nervously] So I'll just slip out the back door.

Back door?

B.E.N.

Oh, yeah. I get this delightful breeze through here...which I think is important because ventilation among friends.

[Back door universe]

Whoa! What is all this stuff?

B.E.N.

You mean the miles and miles of machinery that run through the entire course of the inside of this planet? Not a clue!

Hey, Doc! Doc! I think I found a way out of here!

No, no, Jim, wait. The captain ordered us to stay--

I'll be back.

B.E.N.
[Inside the back door universe]

CANNONBALL!

[Dog bark]

Woof.

B.E.N.
[As open the back door, Jim and Morph seens Silver's crews always sleeps of the firepit in the night forest] [open the door slams Morph, shouting]

So, what's the plan?!

[whispers]

Shh! B.E.N., quiet! [Silver sleeps and snoring] Okay, here it is. We sneak back to the Legacy, disable the laser cannons and bring back the map.

B.E.N.
[Muffled]

That's a good plan. I like that plan. The only thing is I'm wondering, how do we get there?

[whispers]

On that.

Morph
[Silver's longboat]

Ooh.

[However, Jim, B.E.N. and Morph are in the R.L.S Legacy ship. They sneak over the ship, they climb in the dock, B.E.N. screams]

B.E.N.. Shh!

B.E.N.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

[Jim and B.E.N back down at the galley to find the map]

Okay, I'll get the map. You wait here.

B.E.N.
[salutes to Jim]

Roger, Jimmy. I'll neutralize laser cannons, sir! [slaps Morph]

Wait, no, B.E.N., B.E.N.!

B.E.N.
[singing]

Yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirate's life for me! [he checking the disable a few laser cannons] Disable a few laser cannons. What is the big deal? All we gotta do is find that one little wire... [discovers countless similar wires that control parts of the ship] Oh, Mama.

[still looking the map, attempt to recover the map]

Yes.

B.E.N.
[The alarm suddenly goes off]

Bad B.E.N.! Bad. [plugs the cord back in to stop] Okay, fixing.

[runs to the exit]

Stupid robot's gonna get us all... [stops] killed.

[sees Jim]

Cabin boy.

B.E.N.
[Jim and Morph start running for their lives from Scroop, but Morph turns himself into a vanilla pie, and then throws himself into Scroop's face; Scroop, furious at this, wipes Morph off of his face and throws him into one of the ship's pipes. Jim prepare to fire his weapon at Scroop, when the lights suddenly shut off]

Whoops! Okay, don't panic. Breathing in. [exhales] Breathing out. [after turn on the ship with wires, Jim aim at Scroop, he's no longer here, Scroop behind him closely slows; but, Morph out the pipe to Scroop, it turns to hand got two fingers and poked Scroop's eye, He manages to pin down Jim and he lose the gun in the galley] This has gotta be cannons. [unplugs another cord, causing gravity to rise] Maybe not!

[Jim and Scroop start rising up, outside to deck. Jim grabs himself onto the ship's flagpole. Scroop chuckles evilly while climbing up to kill Jim. Jim's gun floats up, as he sees it] [Reaching pistol]

Come on, come on, come on. No!

[last words before his death]

Oh, yes! [about to cut Jim's lifeline of the rope] Do say hello to Mr. Arrow.

[He jumps down, but then, he knocks Scroop off the ship into space]

TELL HIM YOURSELF!

B.E.N.
[The sudden jerk snaps the damaged rope and sends Scroop floating away to his presumed death screaming. He is never to be heard of or seen again] [After removing the plug which controls gravity]

BACK YOU GO, YOU NAUGHTY PLUG!

Morph
[After the gravity pulls, the wires plug into the ship] [coughs]

Morph?

B.E.N.
[Morph Chirrups]

Laser cannons disconnected Captain Jimmy, sir! Gee, that wasn't so tough.

[Later, Jim found the map out when eavesdropping on his conversation with the rest of the crew about mutiny]

Doc! Doc, wake up! [look down Silver on the dark side] I got the map.

[sympathetically]

Fine work, Jimbo. Fine work indeed.

[Jim heartbroken and hurt. The crews holds Delbert and Amelia as hostage, they muffled yelling. Jim turn around to Mr. Turnbuckle and Grewnge]

Thanks for showing us the way in, boy.

[as Mr. Turnbuckle and Grewnge takes struggle to Jim around in each arm, Morph bites Grewnge's tail, he screams in pain, it hits Morph with the tail and Morph yelping in the Jim's pocket]

What's this sorry stack of metal?!

B.E.N.

Not the face!

[Silver's dark side]

You're just like me, Jimbo... ya hates to lose. [Jim snarling, Silver chuckles, handed the map, he switches the cyborg arm from cleaver to three clawed mini-arms, turning around the three clawed mini-arms the map getting stress, then switches the cyborg arm again from cyton arm, he doesn't open] What the devil's the-- [He was trying to get open the map getting frustrated, and taken back the map to Jim] Open it! [Jim holds a map, Silver stare at him awkward silence, and he switches the cyborg arm as the gun] I'd get busy. [Delbert and Amelia did they think open it, but they both nod. Jim and Silver stare at each other sympathetically, as Jim open and scrolls the map recover, the mutiny murmuring sees about the discovered by Treasure Planet] Oh, the powers that be. Would you look? [as the Map Treasure Planet away faster remember in the space; he laughs] Tie him up and leave him with the others till... we-what?

[the map turns off]

You want the map, you're taking me, too.

[Grunts and calms down]

Hmm. [chuckles] We'll take 'em all.

[The longboat follow the map and finds the treasure planet, the mutiny any location the ship; Grewnge use a gun point at Delbert and Amelia] [Morph chattering]

It's okay, Morph. Is okay.

B.E.N.

Jimmy, I--I don't know about you but I'm starting to see my life pass in front of my eyes. At least, I think it's my life. WAS I EVER DANCING WITH AN ANDROID NAMED LUPE?!

B.E.N., shh. This isn't over here yet.

We'll gettin' close, lads! I smell treasure a-waitin'! [The pirates cheering, Silver laughs and grabs Jim forward, Silver cutting the trees, everyone gasp in shocked it to seens dead end] Huh? Where is it?

[After the map seemingly leads the pirates to a dead end]

I see nothing! One great big stinking hunk of NOTHING!

What's going on, Jimbo?!

I don't know! I-I can't get open in.

We should've never followed this, boy! [kicks Jim fall on the ground]

Hey!

I'd suggust you get that gizmo going again, and fast!

Blinko
[The mutiny quickly refuses to Jim]

Let's rip his gizzard right out, right now!!

Throw it off the cliff!

[Jim put the Map down it powers on the treasure planet] [last words before his death]

Poor boy.

[Introduce the portal sees the planets looks, suddenly, it open a triangular sees galaxy] [shocked]

Ah, have mercy.

[the portal high triangular like Treasure Planet shape, the Lagoon Nebula]

The Lagoon Nebula?

[about universe]

But that's halfway across the galaxy.

[he point at Map; a Big door]

A big door... [point at Map again; changing a planet] opening and closing. [changing a different planet] Let's see. Kinapis. Montressor spaceport. [as he point at Montressor Spaceport; that's how to get home] So that's how Flint did it. He used this portal to roam the universe stealing treasure.

[move space to Jim]

But, where'd he stash it all?! [as Silver point to map, he no longer find his treasure] Where's that blasted TREASURE?!

B.E.N.

Treasure! Treasure! Is... buried in the--

Buried in the centroid of the mechanism. What if, the whole planet is the mechanism, and the treasure is buried in the center of this planet?!

[an angrily crews shouting start digging, as Mr. Turnbuckle boring a hole tool and shocking everyone] [indignant]

And how in blue blazes are we supposed to get there?!

[as finger point and touch a Treasure Planet]

Just open the right door.

[However, the portal is open the loot of a thousands worlds; as Jim, Silver and the pirates leading to find Flint's treasure, Silver step around the alarm beeping]

Wait for me! Wait for me!
Long John Silver: [Upon seeing the discovered of Flint's Treasure, the mutiny, gasps, and cheering] The loot of a thousands worlds.

[After the pirates find Flint's treasure]

We are going to need a bigger boat! [laughing]

B.E.N.

This is all seeming very familiar. I can't remember why.

B.E.N., come on. We're getting out of here, and we're not leaving empty-handed.

B.E.N.
[Jim and B.E.N. start to head for a pirate ship parked amongst the treasure]

But--but, Jimmy! Jimmy!

A lifetime of searching. And at long last...I can touch it.

B.E.N.
[B.E.N. and Jim make it to the ship and climb aboard]

Do you know what's strange? I can't tell you how frustrating this is, Jimmy, 'cause there's something just--it's nagging at the back of my mind. Aah!

[B.E.N. falls onto the ship's deck and startles at the skeletal remains of Captain Nathaniel Flint in the chair]

Captain Flint?

B.E.N.

In the flesh! Well, s-sort of, except for skin, organs, or anything that--that--that resembles flesh...that's not there. And yet it's so odd. you know?

B.E.N.
[Jim notices something the skeletal Captain Flint is clutching in his fist]

I remember there was something horrible Flint didn't want anyone else to know but I-I just can't remember what it was.

B.E.N.
[Jim pulls the piece from Flint's grasp]

Oh, a mind is a terrible thing to lose!

[Jim sees that the piece is a similar shape to B.E.N.'s missing piece]

B.E.N., l think I just found your mind. Hold still.

B.E.N.

AAH! Jimmy, your hands are very, very cold. [B.E.N. seems to reboot as he gains his memories back, and his eyes go from green to blue] Whoa! Hello. You know, uh, Jimmy, I was just thinking...I was just think--It's all flooding back! All my memories! Right up until Flint pulled my memory circuits so I could never tell anybody about his booby trap!

B.E.N.
[A sudden crash happens above them]

Speaking of which...

[Up above, parts of the planet start to explode, after the core has been destroyed by the jet. Silver and the other pirates notice the commotion]

Huh?

B.E.N.

Flint wanted to make sure that nobody could ever steal his treasure, so he rigged this whole planet to blow higher than a Kalepsian kite!

B.E.N.
[The jets previously keeping the treasure steady start to make ravines after destroying and/or puncturing the planet's core, through the treasure, making much of it fall through the cracks. The pirates start running away]

Run, Jimmy! Run for your life!

You go back and help the captain and Doc! If I'm not there in 5 minutes, leave without me.

B.E.N.
[Jim starts to work on getting the ship running]

I am not leavin' my buddy Jimmy. [Jim glares at him] Unless he looks at me like that. Bye, Jim!

[More treasure starts to fall as the jets do more damage and create more cracks for it to fall. Silver tries to grab some, before all treasure falls into lava]

NOOOO!! No! Oh, no! Don't go! Don't go! Don't! Oh, no! No!

[Mr. Turnbuckle and Blinko reaching the treasure but then causing falls down in the Booby trap, Crew yelling]

Come back here, ya blighters!
[However, Silver sees Flint's ship and turns a robotic eye to Jim in the Flint's ship]

[Silver has chosen Jim over the treasure]

Silver, you gave up?

Just a lifelong obsession, Jimbo. I'll get over it.

B.E.N.

Aloha. Jimmy!

B.E.N.
[B.E.N. pulls up with the ship with Delbert piloting it and Amelia in tow; the remaining pirates are in custody]

Hurry, people! We got exactly two minutes and thirty-four seconds till planet's destruction!

You're doing fine, Doctor. Now ease her over gently--gently!

[The ship terrain to Jim and Silver]

We were better off on exploding planet!

[Jim and Silver climb onto the ship]

Take us out of here, metal man!

B.E.N.

Aye, Captain!

Captain, you dropped from the heavens in the nick of--

Save your claptrap for the judge, Silver!

B.E.N.
[Silver chuckles then frowns] [A sudden chunk of the planet takes out the main sail and one of the cannons]

Mizzen sail demobilized, Captain! Thrusters at only 30% of capacity.

30%? That means we're...We'll never clear the planet's explosion in time...

[As the planet is collapsing, Jim looks back and sees that the portal is still working and with the cannon destroyed he can use the parts]

We gotta turn around.

There's a portal back there. It can get us out of here!

Pardon me, Jim, but didn't that portal open onto a raging inferno?!

[The jets are still destroying the planet's core, when the planet collapses and explodes]

Yes, but I'm gonna change that. I'm gonna open a different door! [Jim starts to gather pieces to make a solar surfer]

Captain, really, I don't see how this is possible--

Listen to the boy!

B.E.N.

One minute, twenty-nine seconds till planet's destruction!

What do you need, Jim?

Just some way to attach this.

All right. Stand back. Stand back, now. [He welds the pieces together to make a makeshift solar surfer] There you go.

Morph

There you go.

OK. Now, no matter what happens, keep the ship heading straight for that portal.

B.E.N.

Fifty-eight seconds!

[Jim and Silver share a sympathetic gaze as Jim launches his solar surfer off the ship]

Well, you heard him! Get this blasted heap turned 'round!

Doctor, head us back to the portal.

Aye, Captain.

[Up ahead, Jim manages to weave his way through the planet's explosion, heading straight for the portal]

Go on the right! THE RIGHT!

I KNOW, I KNOW! WILL YOU JUST LET ME DRIVE?!

B.E.N.

25 SECONDS!

[The solar surfer engine suddenly cuts out and refuses to start]

No! No!

Come on, lad...

B.E.N.

Seventeen seconds!

B.E.N.
[Out of options, Jim shoves the engine against the wall, and the friction combined with the sparks gets the engine started again. Jim and the ship race toward the portal]

Seven, six, five, four, three, two--
[Right at the last second, Jim presses on the Montressor Spaceport, causing the portal to change as he and the ship fly through it, and the planet is collapsing and starts to explode. The portal explodes behind them]

[Jim saves the crew and ship]

Wow! Yeah!

Ah! Oh-ho-ho Jim! You done it, Jimmy! You done it, boy! [hi five to Jim, laughing] Didn't I tell you the lad had greatness in him?!

[The pirates cheer Jim while Doppler and Amelia hug, realize what they're doing and don't stop] [to Jim]

Unorthodox, but ludicrously effective. I'd be proud to recommend you to the Interstellar Academy. They could do with a man like you.

[excited]

Just wait until your mother hears about this! [quietly] Of course, we may downplay the life-threatening parts.

B.E.N.

Jimmy, that was...UNFORGETTABLE! I know you don't like touching but, get ready for a hug, big guy, 'cause I gotta hug ya! Ha, ha, ha, ha! [Jim finally getting hug to him] Hey, you hugged me back! Oh, I promised myself I wouldn't cry. [sobbing and hug to Jim, but he look at Silver but nowhere see it] Does anyone have a tissue?
