this will rip that door open
Like it was made of tissue
Paper.
rath: Let me tell you
Something, forever knights.
Nobody's ripping open nothing
Except rath!
That's your first mistake.
When you sh**t rath, it just
Makes rath mad!
[ cellphone rings, beeps ]
Hello?
gwen: Ben, where are you?
Julie's in the middle of her
Set!
julie: [ grunting ]
rath: Let me tell you
Something, gwen tennyson --
I was on my way there, when I
Saw this t*nk pull up to the
Museum and --
gwen: I don't care.
Get here!
[ beep ]
rath: That was harsh.
Now, where were we?!
both: [ screaming ]
rath: [ roars ]
[ grunting ]
What? It was already busted!
welcome back to our coverage
Of the national junior tennis
Championships, where an exciting
Semifinal round is in progress.
Newcomer julie yamamoto is at
Match point.
[ audience cheering ]
hold on.
There's a celebrity in the
Crowd -- the infamous teenage
Media sensation ben tennyson.
[ cheering continues ]
[ camera shutters clicking ]
ben: [ grunts ]
julie: [ grunts ]
fault.
ben: Sorry!
gwen: Shh!
julie: [ grunts ]
[ grunts ]
game, set, match.
[ cheers and applause ]
ben: Nice game, julie!
julie: How would you know?
ben: What? What did I say?
gwen: It's what you did, ben.
You were late, and when you
Finally showed up, you made a
Big entrance and completely blew
Her concentration.
ben: I can't help if I'm
Famous, right?
I'm sorry.
It won't happen again.
gwen: It better not.
The finals are in three hours.
That should be enough time for
You to figure out how to make
This up to her.
ben: Any suggestions?
kevin: Yeah, there's a
Plan -- ask me for girlfriend
Advice.
[ birds squawking ]
king urien: Explain
Yourselves.
we attempted to show
Initiative, king urien.
king urien: And by doing so,
You revealed our intentions to
Our enemies...And lost our sole
Remaining plasma-beam t*nk.
we didn't lose it, sire.
It's right outside the museum.
Ben tennyson tore it into tiny
Pieces, but...
we know exactly where.
[ chuckles nervously ]
Actually, it is almost funny
When you think about it.
[ chuckles nervously ]
king urien: Do you know what
Else amuses?
aah!
[ grunts ]
king urien: I can see that if
I'm ever to restore the honor of
This pathetic organization,
It will require a more hands-on
Approach.
ben: Come on, gwen! Wait up!
Okay, so I was a little late.
I was kind of busy.
gwen: And this tournament is
Important to her.
kevin: If we're doing
Important, maybe we could try
Figuring out why those
Forever knights were trying to
Bust into that museum.
gwen: Forever knights?
Like that's a big riddle.
They're trying to steal some
Piece of alien technology so
They can slay dragons or take
Over the world or whatever.
kevin: So, now we just ignore
Them when they try and take over
The world?
gwen: They're always taking
Over the world, but this is
Julie's first professional
Tournament.
We should be supporting her.
She should be the center of
Attention, especially from ben.
[ beeping ]
What are you doing?
ben: I was thinking that
While we were waiting around,
I could go and catch
"sumo slammers: The movie."
kevin: You're either the
Bravest man alive or the
Dumbest.
ben: What?
kevin: Okay, the dumbest.
ben: It's opening today.
And there's a : p.M. Show
Just a few blocks --
gwen: No.
ben: But it's
"sumo slammers" -- in d!
gwen: Ben.
ben: It's their first
Live-action movie.
Everybody knows live action is
Better than cartoons.
gwen: Benjamin kirby
Tennyson, don't even think about
It.
You can't be in two places at
Once.
ben: Or maybe I can.
[ beep ]
echo echo: Echo echo.
Okay, boys, set your ultimatrix
To "human" and follow my lead.
[ beep ]
On the count of .
... ...
!
ben: I didn't really think
That was going to work.
ben # : Why not?
You're a smart guy.
You don't give yourself enough
Credit for that.
ben # : I don't know.
I think you're kind of a dope.
ben: Yeah?
Well, this dope's going to see
"sumo slammers."
ben # : You work hard.
You deserve to treat yourself
Every now and then.
Tell you what -- I'll go with
Kevin and keep an eye out for
Those forever knights.
ben: Perfect.
And you...
ben # : What?
ben # : We were thinking you
Could go watch julie play in the
Tournament.
After all, she's always so nice
To us.
It's only right that we --
ben # : Yeah, fine. Whatevs.
gwen: Where have you been?
Julie's match is about to start.
ben # : I'm here.
Why don't you put a sock in it?
gwen: Whoa.
What's with all the attitude?
ben # : I'm ben classic.
Miss me?
ben # : Hello, kevin.
Hope I didn't keep you waiting.
kevin: Didn't I just see you
With gwen?
ben # : I guess so.
Didn't you want to go
Investigate the forever knights
Robbery?
kevin: Yeah, but gwen's
Pretty mad at you.
You better --
ben # : Gwen might seem
Inflexible, but her heart is as
Big as all outdoors.
She'll forgive my transgression.
kevin: Gwen will forgive you?
Gwen tennyson?
ben # : This mission's
Important to you, and you're
Important to me, my good friend.
Let's go.
kevin: Something's definitely
Wrong here, but so far, it's
Working out for me.
ben: Julie's covered, kevin's
Covered, and I'm off to the
Movies.
[ beeping ]
king urien: Onward, my
Knights.
This time, nothing will stop us
From gaining power beyond all
Reckoning.
ben # : Go, julie!
Whoo-hoo!
Julie yamamoto is number one,
Baby!
[ hoots ]
What?
gwen: You're embarrassing
Her.
ben # : She loves the
Attention.
gwen: No, she doesn't.
ben # : My bad.
Hey, other girl!
You're a terrible tennis player,
And my girlfriend's gonna kick
Your butt!
[ crowd murmuring ]
[ camera shutters clicking ]
what's happening up there?
julie: Uh, that's my...
Boyfriend.
you must be very proud.
ben, any comment on
Will harangue's editorials?
He says you're a menace.
ben # : Yeah?
I say tv is a dead medium.
Sorry, man.
You know it's true.
I'm your biggest fan!
ben # : Well, that makes two
Of us.
is that really your
Girlfriend on the court?
ben # : Hey, things cha--
Ow!
What? I'm just having fun.
[ whistle blows ]
would you mind?!
ben # : We'll talk later.
Sorry, ref!
julie: [ grunts ]
[ grunts ]
kevin: Whatever the knights
Wanted, you kept them from
Getting it.
I say we stake out the museum
And wait till they try --
What?
Do I have corn dog on my face?
ben # : No.
I'm just thinking about how long
We've known each other.
kevin: Why?
ben # : Because I don't think
We've ever honestly talked about
Our feelings, about how we're
Friends now, but we were
Enemies -- which is
Understandable, what with you
Being criminally insane back
Then and all.
kevin: I talk about my
Feelings all the time, like when
I'm mad or hungry or when I have
To go to the bathroom.
ben # : Not to mention
There's probably still
Unresolved tension from that
Whole "hacking the omnitrix"
Thing that turned you into a
Monster, which, though I didn't
Want to say anything at the
Time, made you really hard to be
Around -- not that I blame you,
Since it was absolutely my fault
That things went so south.
julie: [ sighs ]
I can't believe I blew that last
sh*t.
gwen: It's okay.
You're still ahead.
Just remember, I'm here for you.
Kevin's here for you.
Ben's here for you.
Okay. One out of three.
julie: What is wrong with
Him?
gwen: You! Shoo! Go away!
Especially you.
[ yelps ]
gwen: All julie wanted was a
Little support, but no!
You're too busy being celebrity
Chick magnet.
ben # : Come on!
It's just a dumb old tennis
Game!
Besides, she was supposed to
Lose, anyway!
Huh.
Sound really carries in here.
[ asian music plays ]
all: It's slammer time!
[ button clicks ]
sire, um, I'm not certain
I know how to read these
Blueprints.
king urien: I have little
Patience for failure, knight.
Plant the device.
ben # : And, of course, we
Haven't even begun to unpack the
Team's interpersonal dynamics,
What with your relationship with
Gwen, who is, after all, my
Cousin, which means you and I
Might someday end up related,
Which could get kind of --
kevin: Ben!
You've always been kind of
Girly, but today...
ben # : Yeah?
kevin: You're creeping me
Out!
ben # : I understand.
I'm truly sorry.
kevin: Stop understanding,
Stop apologizing, stop talking
About your feelings.
I just want to find some
Forever knights and pound them.
ben # : Hmm. Interesting.
kevin: Cut that out!
[ rumbling ]
ben # : Deterion energy mine?
kevin: Yep.
ben # : How bad?
kevin: Major dangerous.
They can burn a hole through
Feet of solid --
It must be the knights.
We better suit up.
[ beep ]
humongousaur:
♪ humongousaur ♪
kevin: Never do that again.
humongousaur: Just trying it
Out.
Can you tell which way they're
Coming from?
[ rumbling ]
yes.
both: Aaaaah!
Who dares
Intrude?
it's ben tennyson, the alien
Changeling, and his lackey.
kevin: Oh, now I'm a lackey?
humongousaur: I'm sure he
Didn't mean to hurt your
Feelings.
You didn't mean to hurt his
Feelings, right?
king urien: Destroy them.
kevin: [ grunting ]
humongousaur: I think you're
Being deliberately hurtful.
[ men grunting ]
ben: Love a good fight scene.
kevin: Ben, do something!
humongousaur: Why me?
kevin: Because you're a
Giant, indestructible dinosaur?
humongousaur: Okay, but
Shouldn't we work towards a
Consensus that lets us both feel
Invested in the plan?
kevin: Forget it.
Just throw me.
humongousaur: Okay.
[ grunts ]
[ both grunt ]
kevin: Let's go.
[ clunk ]
ben # : Ow!
kevin: When did you get to be
Such a baby?
ben # : Well, it hurt!
king urien: It's mine.
After all this time, it's mine.
ben # : Excuse me, sir?
But the signs clearly say "do
Not touch the exhibits."
kevin: Signs?
That's the best you got?
Where's the usual smack talk?
First we cr*ck on the bad guys,
Then we trash them.
It's what we do.
ben # : That's bad
Sportsmanship.
And we should respect the ego
Space of our opponents.
Villains are people, too.
king urien: This is toltech
Battle armor -- a little parting
Gift left with the ancient
Aztecs by a race of aliens.
ben # : There were aliens in
Central america?
kevin: They came for the
Scenery, but they stayed for the
Chocolate.
ben # : [ groans ]
kevin: How could you let your
Guard down like that?
ben # : I'm not myself today.
kevin: Yeah?
Well, pull it together!
Okay, tin man, it's you and me.
[ cellphone rings ]
both: Hello?
ben # : I hate to interrupt
Everyone's evening.
Is everyone having a good time?
ben: This movie's awesome!
ben # : It's okay.
ben # : Well, we're fighting
An ancient alien battle robot,
And we're not doing too well.
kevin: Aaaaah!
ben # : [ grunts ]
I think I feel a knot.
ben: On my way.
ben # : Heads up! One side!
Hero stuff to do!
[ both panting ]
ben: Where's the other us?
ben # : What am I -- a gps?
[ door opens ]
kevin: Go, go, go!
ben # : Going, going, going!
[ panting ]
kevin: If I wasn't running
For my life, I'd totally demand
An explanation.
ben: "sumo slammers" opened
Today and...
ben # : We were trying to be
Sensitive to everyone's needs.
ben # : What's it to you?!
kevin: Again, running for my
Life!
king urien: Three of you?
The more, the bloodier.
ben: Boys, it's slammer time!
[ beep ]
big chill: Big chill.
upchuck: Upchuck.
cannonbolt: Cannonbolt!
upchuck: [ vomits ]
cannonbolt: Oh, oh, oh!
[ grunts ]
big chill: Sorry.
upchuck: [ vomits ]
[ grunts ]
This is a lot less fun than I
Thought it would be.
cannonbolt: You're telling
Me.
upchuck: Hold him off, kevin.
We'll -- uh...
I'll be right with you.
big chill: Time for a meeting
Of the minds.
echo echo: Echo echo!
ben: Huh?
kevin: [ grunts ]
Your turn.
king urien: You've gone back
From three to one.
Really, tennyson, haven't you
Learned there's safety in
Numbers?
ben: You'd think so.
lodestar: Lodestar!
king urien: I can't move!
What black magic is this?
lodestar: No magic.
Just my natural magnetism.
Which isn't to say you're not
Every bit as attractive.
[ rattling ]
king urien: [ grunts ]
Aah!
kevin: Every time. Ugh.
king urien: N-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!
ben: Rest in pieces.
Hey, kevin.
You're totally right about the
Smack-talking.
I'm glad you won your
Tournament, julie.
julie: Yeah. Thanks.
gwen: You should have been
There.
And by that, I mean, you should
Have been there.
ben: Okay, gwen.
julie: Ben, I know you were
Off fighting bad guys.
I was upset.
But I guess that's the deal when
You decide to date a superhero.
ben: Julie, I promise I'll
Make it up to you.
Whatever you want to do -- I'm
There.
Just name it.
julie: Well, maybe we could
Go see "sumo slammers: The
Movie" together.
ben: Actually, I...Uh...
Already saw it.
julie: When?
ben: Uh...During your match.
julie: Well!
That's just --
Ugh!
gwen: [ scoffs ] nice.
kevin: Man, you are so
Insensitive.
ben: [ sighs ]
