La, la, la, la, la! (She is accidentally bumps into the screen door, getting her braces caught in it; screams) No! Braces! Braces caught in a screen door! Someone dictate my will, I'm giving it all to Waddles!
|
Soos Ramirez
|
(Walks up holding a screwdriver) Say "ah," girl-dude.
|
Mabel
|
(Opens her mouth wide) Aaaah. (Soos pries her braces off of the screendoor) Soos! You saved me!

Heh, heh! Just doing my job, hambone. (Tosses screwdriver into his toolbelt) I'll see you dudes tomorrow.

Soos

(Walking away from the shack, singing) Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo! Walking to my car.
|
Mabel
|
You ever wonder what Soos does when he's not here at the Mystery Shack?
|
Dipper
|
No.
|
Wendy
|
Not really.
|
Stan
|
Not once ever.

Soos
|
(Playing a video game entitled "First Person Puncher") Punch! Punch those leopards! (Hears timer go off) Oh, highlights are done! (Sets down his controller, leans over and begins taking foil out of his grandmother's hair) You're gonna make the other grandmas at the bingo hall so jealous!
|
Abuelita
|
Just a minute, m'ijo, look at this. (hands letter to Soos) Your cousin Reggie is having an engagement party next month.
|
Soos
|
(Looks at invitation) Wait, wait. Reggie is engaged? But he's like the poor man's Soos.
|
Abuelita
|
I do not want to pressure you, but you are a man now... in a way. It's time for you to start meeting girls. I would like to see you settled before I ascend to heaven and live with the angels.
|
Soos
|
And with grandpa!
|
Abuelita
|
(Looking down) No, he is not there. (Looks back at Soos) Please find a girl to bring to Reggie's engagement, for Abuelita. (Gets up off the couch and walks away)
|
Soos
|
Heh! No problem. I'm great at fixing stuff, playing video games, having a sort-of mustache. (Leans back in couch) I could totally get a date in a week. Totally. Piece of cake.
|
Game voice
|
(Game over text appears on TV screen) You're dead!
|
Soos
|
I'm dead.
|
|
Cut to theme song.
|
|
A child is seen walking through the Mystery Shack gift shop, flipping a coin and licking a lollipop.
|
Stan
|
(Jumps out from behind rack of postcards) Hello!
|
Child
|
(Screams)
|
Stan
|
Please, don't let my horrible elderly face frighten you. (Reaches over to sheet and pulls it away to reveal Goldie) Don't you want to use that nickel to get a nugget from old Goldie?
|
Child
|
Uuuuhhh...
|
Stan
|
Watch this! (Inserts nickel into slot in Goldie)
|
|
Goldie's arm moves up and his hat raises. The arm moves down, but both of his eyes fall out while grease and smoke come out and he starts to scream. Child runs away crying.
|
Wendy
|
Okay, seriously, Mr. Pines. It's time to throw that thing out. Its face reminds everyone of the inevitability of death.
|
Stan
|
What?! Sure, he's a little rusty around the edges, but old Goldie is a classic show-stopper, like me. Huh? (Hand slips on grease and lands in Goldie's mouth. Goldie holds onto his arm while he flails it around.) Aaaah! Kill it! KIIILLL IIIITTT!
|
|
Cut to Soos hanging up a shirt in the gift shop.
|
Soos
|
(Turns head and notices a woman checking out a snowglobe) Ah! A hwoman! (Dives into the middle of a shirt rack) Alright, Soos. You can do this. Just use your mouth to say words that makes romance happen. (Slowly rises up out of shirt rack; to woman:) Your face is good. I'm a Soos!
|
Woman
|
(Screams, drops snowglobe and runs out of the gift shop, punching a man and knocking things over in he process)
|
|
Soos slowly descends back into the shirt rack, disappointed.
|
Dipper
|
Soos? (Pulls shirts back to reveal Soos) What was that all about?
|
Soos
|
I-I think I was flirting, but I'm not sure.
|
Mabel
|
(Pops out of barrel of keychains) Did someone say flirting?!
|
Soos
|
Well, I sort of promised my grandma I'd get a date by the end of the week, but I've never actually been on a date before. (Grabs out-of-order sign off of vending machine) You belong on me, out-of-order sign. (Sighs)
|
Mabel
|
Finally, my prayers for a chance to match-make this summer have been answered!
|
Stan
|
Soos, a little advice. You need to get rich. Or lie about being rich. Outside of that, I don't like your chances.
|
Wendy
|
(Scoffs) Don't listen to Stan, dude. You're a sweet guy with a steady job and a pickup truck.
|
Stan
|
Would you date him?
|
Wendy
|
Oh! Would you... heh... look at that. (Raises magazine over face)
|
Dipper
|
Soos, you help us so much, it's time we help you, dude. We're gonna get you that date.
|
Mabel
|
We're taking you where romance lives and fashion styles die. (Cut to mall) To the mall!
|
Stan
|
(To Dipper and Mabel:) I'm gonna go find a replacement for old Goldie. Babysit Soos while I'm gone.
|
Mabel
|
(Scanning the mall) Alright, Soos. Are you ready to explode the charm bomb on these poor, unsuspecting ladies?
|
Soos
|
(Sweating) Uuh. But what if I embarrass myself again?
|
Mabel
|
Eh. You can't be any worse at this than Dipper.
|
Dipper
|
Yeah! ...Wait, what?
|
Mabel
|
(Blows whistle) And, flirt!
|
|
Music beings playing. Cut to Mabel, Dipper and Soos hiding behind a tree in the mall. They are watching a woman.
|
Mabel
|
(Points to her eyes) Eye contact!
|
Soos
|
(Walks up to the woman) Hey there! I'm not scared of your eyes at all! I'm gonna (Uses his fingers to open his eyes wider) look at them!
|
|
The woman runs away screaming.
|
Soos
|
Eye contact!
|
|
Cut to Mabel and Soos in a different area of the mall.
|
Mabel
|
Conversation!
|
|
Soos approaches a woman who is eating ham on a stick.
|
Soos
|
Huh. You know, I've actually been in a pig's body. Did you know pigs have a hard time walking backwards?
|
|
The woman backs away from Soos.
|
Soos
|
(Laughs) Not you, though! Not that I'm calling you a pig. Where are you going?
|
|
Cut to Mabel wearing sunglasses in a new area.

(Lifting her sunglasses, revealing another pair underneath) Confidence.
|
|
Cut to Soos and another person outside of an Edgy On Purpose store.

|
|
The music ends. Cut to Stan putting Goldie into a dumpster.
|
Stan
|
(Singing:) Tossing away garbage, in the garbage can. Phew! (Sees Goldie's face) Ah, don't look at me like that. This is how it's gotta be.
|
|
Goldie leaks oil from its eye.
|
Stan
|
Ugh! (Closes dumpster)
|
|
Some children walk past, laughing.
|
Stan
|
What in the--? (He follows the children into a building)
|
|
Scare chord as a cap-wearing beaver head mounted on wall is shown. Scare chord as a child eating pizza while playing Fight Fighters is shown. Scare chord as a machine with a sunglasses-wearing pizza dispensing tickets is shown.
|
Stan
|
What is this living nightmare? And why do kids love it so much?
|
|
While Stan is talking, the camera pans over to a crowd of kids in front of a stage. On the stage are a band of animatronic animals. An animatronic badger walks forward.
|
Will E. Badger
|
(Strums guitar) Who wants to get baaadgered?!
|
|
The children cheer. A man is now standing next to Stan.
|
Gary
|
Oh yeah, that's Will E. Badger. He opens for Hoo-Ha and the Jamboree.
|
Will E. Badger
|
(Dancing) Ooh, ah! Ooh, ah ah!
|
Nicolas
|
Will E. Badger! I love you, Will E.!
|
Will E. Badger
|
(Holding out a cap with money in it) Now give me your mon-aaaaay!
|
|
The children put money into the cap.
|
Mariah
|
Take my money, take it all!
|
Stan
|
Hoooaah! (To Gary:) Sir, I would like to buy that badger.
|
Gary
|
(Laughs) You're in over your head, gramps. Animatronics is a young man's game. (Tweaks his earring) You couldn't handle the hardcore life of a pizza-robot manager. Huh! Haha, flinched!
|
|
A child is heard vomiting off-screen.
|
Gary
|
Hey, you, barfin' in the ball pit! (Walking toward the vomiting child) Gary's on the case.
|
Stan
|
I'm gonna get that badger.
|
|
Cut to Dipper, Soos and Mabel outside of a video game store in the mall.
|
Mabel
|
(Pulls something out of a toy capsule machine) Don't worry, Soos. You'll find the right girl. You just need to stick (Pulls a sticky hand toy out of her capsule) with it! (Sticks the hand to Soos's face) Haha!
|
Soos
|
(Sighs) Could this day get any worse? (Turns head and sees a man who looks similar to him and a woman walking by) Oh no! Cousin Reggie!
|
Reggie
|
Feel it, it's muscle.
|
|
Reggie's fiancée feels his arm and giggles.
|
Soos
|
He can't see me like this! I gotta hide! (Runs into the video game store and sits down in front of some shelves of games) This is it, Soos. A lifetime of loneliness. (Pulls out two games) You're the only ones who could love me. (Reading the game titles:) "Fighty Hogg," "Dr. Punch Head MD." (Notices a game in the box in front of him and picks it up) Huh. Never seen that one before. (Reading the game box:) "Virtually improve your dating skills. Nine out of ten basement dwellers recommend." This is perfect!
|
|
Dipper and Mabel walk in.
|
Dipper
|
Well, I guess you are better at games than at flirting.
|
Mabel
|
Anything to get you out there, Soos.
|
Store clerk
|
I'm not sure you want to buy that game, sir. This is the third time someone's brought it back, and there's a note on it that says "destroy at all costs."
|
Soos
|
(Talking to a cardboard cutout of a woman on a game advertisement:) So, hey there. What's your deal? Like to--? (The cutout falls over) Oh, she's dead!
|
Mabel
|
(To clerk:) We'll take our chances.
|
|
Cut to Soos's house. Soos walk into his room and places his new game into his computer's CD tray. A "Year 2000 Electronics" logo appears on the monitor.
|
Soos
|
Man, I can't wait for the year 2000.
|
|
The monitor shows the main menu for "Romance Academy 7." the options are "Start," "Quit," and "Shizenhakka" (romanized Japanese meaning "spontaneous combustion").
|
Soos
|
Ehh, start! (Reading the game's introduction text:) "When the cherry petals of magic romance academy are in bloom... anthyding can hadplen." That is so true.
|
|
The game screen changes to one with a classroom background and some stats on the left. A pink-haired girl appears.
|
.GIFfany
|
Oh, hi there! My name is .GIFfany. I'm a schoolgirl at School University. Will you help me carry my books?
|
|
The game gives the options "Yes of course!", "I am impatient! Date me now!" and "Hey look a squid!"
|
Soos
|
I'm really feeling number two, here. (Clicks it) Click!
|
|
The game plays a buzzer sound and the option turns red.
|
Soos
|
Ah! I messed up.
|
.GIFfany
|
That's okay. Try again!
|
|
Soos clicks the first option. The game awards him 100 "Love Points" as coins and a cat falls in front of the screen.
|
Soos
|
Wow, I'm learning! And games are making it fun.
|
.GIFfany
|
What would you like to talk about?
|
|
The options offered are "Your interests," "Samurais" and "Squids."
|
Soos
|
I'd rather just click your face. (Clicks her face)
|
.GIFfany
|
Ha ha. You are so funny.
|
Soos
|
Man, this game is amazing! I don't know why anyone abandoned it.
|
.GIFfany
|
And I'm sure you'll never abandon me, new boyfriend.
|
Soos
|
Boyfriend? Oh my, .GIFfany. It's almost like you're actually alive.
|
.GIFfany
|
Yes. Almost. (Laughs throughout the rest of the scene)
|
Soos
|
(Laughs) Oh, man. You have such a nice laugh.
|
|
Pan to show that Soos's computer isn't plugged in.
|
|
Cut to the Mystery Shack gift shop.
|
Stan
|
You don't understand, Wendy! This animatronic badger sings, it dances. It's the perfect money taking attraction. But he won't sell it to me!
|
Wendy
|
This is literally too dumb for me to care about.
|
|
Dipper and Mabel walk in.
|
Dipper
|
Hey, have you guys seen Soos? We're supposed to help him with match-making today.
|
Mabel
|
Yeah! I wore my motivational sweater and everything thing! (Sweater reads "U can do it Soos". Points to the second o in Soos, which is misplaced) I messed up that part.
|
Stan
|
He didn't come in today. It's the first time he's missed work ever!
|
|
The twins look at each other.
|
|
Cut to Soos's house. Mabel and Dipper enter Soos' room. Soos is still at his computer.
|
Soos
|
(Laughs) So that's basically my entire life story. Now you tell me a thing about you!
|
.GIFfany
|
Every time you compliment me I get another highlight in my eyes!
|
Soos
|
Uh, you're pretty!
|
|
.GIFfany's eyes sparkle.
|
Soos
|
And pixel-y!
|
|
.GIFfany's eyes sparkle more.
|
Soos
|
And so agreeable!
|
|
.GIFfany's eyes sparkle even more and stars, planets, hearts and cat faces appear in them.
|
Soos
|
Yes!
|
Mabel
|
Uh, Soos?
|
Soos
|
O-oh hey, dudes! Come in! This game is amazing. I'm making eye contact, going on dates, and I haven't seen any natural sunlight for thirteen hours!
|
|
Dipper kicks away one of the soda cans on the floor.
|
Mabel
|
Soos, maybe it's time to apply these skills with real girls!
|
Soos
|
But I'm about to meet her parents! Her dad is an octopus-man.
|
|
Mabel opens the blinds to let sunlight in.
|
Soos
|
Ah! (Hisses and cowers under desk)
|
Dipper
|
(Pulling Soos) We're going back to the mall, man. You need to unplug!
|
Soos
|
I'll see you later, .GIFfany. I'll be back, I swear!
|
Mabel
|
(Laughs) Soos, you don't have to wish it goodbye. It's just a game. It's not like it's going anywhere. (Closes door)
|
.GIFfany
|
Yes. It's not like I'm going anywhere.
|
|
An arc of electricity moves from the computer and passes through a nearby toy, a digital clock and a power outlet before traveling through the power cables outside.
|
Abuelita
|
(Opens door) Hello? ...Time to read Soos's diary. (Begins reading diary)
|
|
Cut to Gravity Malls, where Mabel is searching for women that Soos can date.
|
Mabel
|
Dang! Where all dem sweet honeys at? I'll check the ladies' bathroom. (Runs off-screen into bathroom) It's love time, girls! Get out there! No time to wash your hands!
|
|
Women scream and run out of the bathroom.
|
Woman
|
Let's get out of here!
|
Mabel
|
It's time to date! Date! Date!
|
Dipper
|
And...here comes security. (To Soos:) I'll deal with this. Stay here and practice on some real girls.
|
|
Soos hides behind a potted plant and looks for girls.
|
Soos
|
These girls have so many dimensions! And no explanation-ing menus!
|
|
Bumps into a blond lady, knocking her purse to the ground.
|
Lady
|
Ahh! My purse!
|
Soos
|
Oh no! Undo! Undo!
|
Lady
|
(Darkly:) You can't undo who you are.
|
|
Soos runs away and leans against a glass screen in front of several televisions.
|
Soos
|
Oh, man! This is the worst! I wish I was back home with-
|
.GIFfany
|
(Off-screen) Hi, Soos!
|
|
.GIFfany is shown on a television screen, acting lovingly at Soos.
|
Soos
|
.GIFfany! Oh man, I'm so relieved to see you! Although, sorta confused.
|
.GIFfany
|
Oh, Soos. (Another .GIFfany appears) I am not an ordinary game. (Another .GIFfany) I am... (Points to toy dog on a shelf, making it bark) special.
|
|
A screen shows people working on computers, who .GIFfany refers to as, "The Programmers."
|
.GIFfany
|
The programmers tried to delete me. (Screen shows various people working on computers, focusing on one in particular. An "X" appears on his computer and a word bubble reading "わかりません" ("wakarimasen"; "I don't understand"). He starts working harder and is about to delete the program but is shocked and dies) So I had to delete them.
|
Soos
|
Wha-what did you do to them?
|
.GIFfany
|
(Many .GIFfanys appear) That's not important. What's important is you won't have to talk to real girls ever again. You and me can be together. (All screens make up one, huge .GIFfany. The large .GIFfany's voice sounds echoic.) Forever!
|
Soos
|
Wow, that's awesome! Sort of a red flag, but mostly awesome! So, what do you want to do now?
|
.GIFfany
|
Anything you want, Soos.
|
|
Cut to Soos riding a kid's train. .GIFfany is on the train's screen, riding a virtual train.
|
Soos
|
(Laughs) Choo choo!
|
.GIFfany
|
(Laughs. Screen shuts down)
|
Train Voice
|
Please insert fifty cents to continue.
|
Soos
|
Aw, man.
|
Melody
|
(Laughs) Oh, sorry. (Walks up to Soos) Dude, that's awesome that you're a grown man riding a little train like that! You're totally like, owning it.
|
Soos
|
Huh? Oh, yeah. I'm like, if it's fun, uh, do it. You know?
|
Melody
|
Exactly! Being an adult is the worst. Skewering meat, remembering to pay bills, I just want to ride tiny trains all day.
|
Soos
|
At least you get to work at Meat Cute. Extreme lunch meats are the food of the future.
|
Melody
|
I feel the same way. I'm Melody by the way.
|
Soos
|
Oh, I'm Soos. I tell you, if you like robots for kids, you should check out the best restaurant of all time!
|
Melody
|
You mean...
|
Soos and Melody
|
Hoo-Ha Owl's Pizzamatronic Jamboree!
|
Melody
|
(Starts nervously playing with her hair) What? You've heard of Hoo Ha Owl's? I loved that place when I was a kid!
|
Soos
|
Oh yeah, dude. There's one right in this mall! I should show you some time.
|
Melody
|
I'm free around eight.
|
Soos
|
Boom! Done.
|
Melody
|
Perfect. I'll see you then. (Hands Soos some coins. Waves and walks away)
|
Soos
|
(Waves back) What a nice lady. Well, back to riding this tiny train for children.
|
|
Mabel appears, diving into Soos while yelling. Dipper is also there.
|
Mabel
|
(Makes excited noises while playfully hitting Soos) Soos! (Continues noises and hitting)
|
Dipper
|
We saw the whole thing, Soos. That was amazing! You talked to a real girl, and you got a date!
|
Soos
|
I did?
|
Mabel
|
(Yells excitedly:) This is the best day of my life! (Jumps and dances around in the background as Dipper speaks)
|
Dipper
|
You were in the zone, you made eye contact - it was like you'd done this a million times before. Don't you see? That game really worked!
|
Mabel
|
You don't need it anymore; you can toss it out!
|
Soos
|
Toss it? But, I like .GIFfany. She's good to me. She's predictable.
|
Dipper
|
Soos, can a computer game go to Reggie's engagement party with you?
|
Soos
|
Uh...
|
|
Cut to Soos's room
|
Soos
|
Hey, .GIFfany? We, uh-- We gotta talk.
|
.GIFfany
|
Of course. I am programmed to find everything you say interesting.
|
Soos
|
Well, have you ever had to choose between two things you like, but you don't know which one is right for you? I mean, I'm just thinkin' long term... Maybe I should be with someone a little less (Mimicking a game character) "beep boop." Heh, you know?
|
.GIFfany
|
I don't think you know what you're saying, Soos. No one loves you more than me. The girls out there will just make fun of you!
|
Soos
|
You- you really think so?
|
.GIFfany
|
(Angrily:) I know so! Besides, we had a deal. You bought my game, you held my books, you're my boyfriend. Now sit down in that chair!
|
Soos
|
I don't think I like the way you're acting...
|
.GIFfany
|
(Banging on the computer screen) I WON'T LET ANOTHER GIRL TAKE YOU AWAY FROM ME, SOOS! YOU HEAR ME?!
|
Soos
|
.GIFfany, calm down!
|
.GIFfany
|
YOU'RE MINE, SOOS!
|
Soos
|
Well, uh, uh... (Picks up his game controller) Pause! (Presses a button)
|
.GIFfany
|
DO YOU HEAR ME? MIII- (Is paused)
|
Soos
|
(Looks around) Woah, that got intense. I'm sorry, .GIFfany. (Removes the game disc from the computer as some electricity moves from the disc tray to .GIFfany on the screen) Maybe having a cursed robo-girlfriend wan't a good idea. (Turns the computer off and puts the disc in his pocket) I'm taking you back to the video game store after my date with Melody.
|
|
Soos leaves the room. Focus is on the computer screen as it flashes and slightly distorted images of .GIFfany appear. The view fades into a bright flash of electricity.
|
|
Cut to Mystery Shack. Stan opens up a briefcase of his equipment.
|
Stan
|
Hello, old friends. (Puts on gloves) I've gotta be careful this time. No more Colombian nights. (Closes briefcase, revealing Wendy at the door)
|
Wendy
|
Alright, Stan. This is weird even for you. Do you need to talk?
|
Stan
|
Nothing you can say will change my mind, Wendy. Sometimes, a man has to steal an animatronic badger, to stay in this crazy game called life. (Unlocks window)
|
Wendy
|
Or... you could just not care.
|
Stan
|
(Opens window) It's about the principle. No one tells Stan Pines he's out of the game. No one tells- whoa! (Falls out window)
|
Wendy
|
I'll get your orthopedic back pillow.
|
Stan
|
(Off-screen) Thank you.
|
|
Cut to Gravity Malls
|
Mabel
|
You can do this, Soos! (Dipper gives him water) Just remember what your love crew taught you. How does she look?
|
Soos
|
Nice!
|
Mabel
|
What are her stories?
|
Soos
|
Interesting!
|
Mabel
|
And who's going to pay for dinner?
|
Soos
|
SOOS IS!
|
Dipper
|
Now, DATE! (Blows air horn)
|
Soos
|
(Runs off, yelling)
|
Mabel
|
They grow up so fast.
|
|
Cut to Hoo Ha Owl's entrance.
|
Melody
|
(Rubbing her leg with the other) Itchy legs, itchy legs-- Oh, hi Soos!
|
Soos
|
Melody! Are you ready for a (Looks at hand) date with (Looks at other hand) me?
|
Melody
|
(Laughs) I totally am.
|
|
Cut to Stan using a credit card to open the back door to Hoo Ha Owl's.
|
Gary
|
(Pushes Will E. Badger) Good show man! Way to warm 'em up! I wish I was more like you. (Kisses Will E. and walks off)
|
Stan
|
(Squints)
|
|
Cut to inside Hoo Ha Owl's. Melody and Soos are at a table.
|
Melody
|
Man, I could go for some complimentary breadsticks right now.
|
Soos
|
(Laughs) Uh, one time I was so hungry, I ate the decorational bamboo at a Chinese restaurant. (Sings) Like a big old panda!
|
Melody
|
(Laughs) You're hilarious.
|
Soos
|
(Laughs) Yeah, well, you know, I just sorta say whatever pops into my, uh... (Looks at video game behind Melody, and .GIFfany is on the screen)
|
.GIFfany
|
(Makes subtitles appear, reading, "You paused me?")
|
Soos
|
(Spits out water onto Melody and coughs)
|
Melody
|
Soos, are you okay?
|
Soos
|
No! I'm, uh, fine! Everything's fine.
|
Melody
|
You sure? You're spitting an awful lot.
|
.GIFfany
|
(On three screens makes subtitles appear reading, "You left me for her?" followed by an ex-ed out image of Melody's face)
|
Soos
|
(Sweating) Uh, can you sit tight? I have to go to the bathroom for a long time. Not in a weird way. (Runs off too Dipper and Mabel, who are hiding behind a pizza box)
|
Mabel
|
Soos, what are you doing out there?
|
Soos
|
I got a big problem, guys. I'm being stalked by .GIFfany!
|
Dipper and Mabel
|
.GIFfany?
|
Soos
|
Or maybe it's pronouced, "Jiffany?" I was never really sure.
|
Dipper
|
Soos, get a grip on yourself. .GIFfany can't stalk you because she's not real!
|
|
.GIFfany has a very close close-up on the three screens. From the screen's inside, it shows that Soos is the target, and Dipper and Mabel are the little enemies.
|
Mabel
|
Uh-oh.
|
Dipper
|
Take it from someone who brought an arcade game to life, this will not end well.
|
Soos
|
Don't worry. I'm pretty sure she's stuck on TV screens.
|
|
.GIFfany is seen traveling across game screens and stops at "Fight Fighters."
|
Rumble McSkirmish
|
Ha! A new challenger approaches! Prepare to be- dah!!! (Gets shocked by .GIFfany, whose lightning reaches the stage)
|
Soos
|
Oh, boy. (Runs up to Melody) So hey, anyway, you uh, wanna move this date into the forest far away from all electronics and people?
|
Melody
|
What? But the floor show's about to start.
|
Soos
|
Uh!
|
|
The four mascots of Hoo Ha Owl's are shown playing instruments. Two rats in barrels are also on the sides.
|
Big Beaver
|
(Chuckles)
|
Hoo-Ha
|
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Who wants to hear Hoo Ha the Owl? Oh! Who...? (Shuts down)
|
|
Lights center on the beaver cheerleader, who is possessed by .GIFfany.
|
.GIFfany
|
Hello, friends. Hoo Ha the owl is dead. (Lights go out. Cowboy frog plays quietly) This next song goes out to my forever boyfriend, Soos.
|
Melody
|
Soos, what's going on?
|
Soos
|
No time to explain! We gotta get out of here! (Drags Melody to the door. Dipper and Mabel run with them)
|
.GIFfany
|
The only way out, Soos, is in my arms! (Eyes turn red. Snaps fingers, and takes possession of the other animatronics; To animatronics:) After them!
|
|
People run out of the restaurant, screaming.
|
|
Cut to Stan, who is tying up Will E. Badger.
|
Stan
|
Done. Out with the old, in with the new. I feel invincible!
|
Will E. Badger
|
(Powers on, having become possessed as well, and begins punching Stan in the face)
|
Stan
|
Wha- what the?
|
Will E. Badger
|
Who wants to get badgered?!
|
Stan
|
(Screams)
|
|
Cut back to restaurant, where everyone continues to run out except for Dipper, Mabel, Soos, and Melody, because the door slams shut before they could leave with everyone else.
|
.GIFfany
|
Sorry, Soos, but you can't run away from our relationship! (Takes control of skee-ball games, making them shoot out balls)
|
Soos
|
(Pulls down an arcade game for cover) So, about all this, I may have purchased a dating simulator that obtained sentience and went crazy.
|
.GIFfany
|
Oh, I am crazy. Crazy for you, Soos. (Shoots lightning at the gang)
|
Melody
|
(Hair catches fire and she starts screaming as the small flame burns)
|
Soos
|
(Quickly pats fire out) Oh no! I'm so sorry, Melody! I'll fix this. It's me that she wants. I'll distract her while Dipper and Mabel keep you safe! It's the only way!
|
Melody
|
Soos, these are children.
|
Soos
|
The only WAYYYY! (Runs towards the kitchen, still being attacked by the skee-ball machines) Over here, .GIFfany!
|
.GIFfany
|
Stop!
|
|
Soos uses a serving plate top slide under the attacking animatronics and under the flip-open kitchen door. .GIFfany uses her lightning to open the door.
|
Dipper
|
On three we split. One, two--
|
|
Big Beaver karate chops the game in half. The three run off.
|
|
Cut to Stan, who is being punched out of the door by Will E. Badger.
|
Stan
|
Stay back, you monster! (Gets punched into the dumpster. Willie gets ready for the final punch, but Stan ducks and it hits Old Goldie, who bites his hand) Yes, yes, get 'em Goldie, get 'em!
|
Mabel
|
(Screaming, she runs to the playground and up the slide. After a moment she comes back down and takes her shoes off and puts them in the shoe holder.)
|
Big Beaver
|
I'm gonna eat your face like pizza!
|
|
Dipper screams and ducks. Big beaver hits a win button and recieves a lot of tickets. He claps. Melody then knocks him out with a chair, but is attacked by more animatronics. She screams.
|
.GIFfany
|
(Surrounding Soos) I've got you surrounded, Soos. There's no way out!
|
Soos
|
Please, let my friends go, I'll do anything you want, I promise!
|
.GIFfany
|
I seem to remember someone promising to be my boyfriend. Think about it. (Shows on TV screen, and pictures of girls flow behind her) Real girls are unpredictable. They judge you.
|
Girls
|
(Laugh)
|
.GIFfany
|
Do you really think that Melody will take you back after this awful date? (Screen shows Melody angrily giving Soos back his flowers to her and slams the door. It starts to rain. Cut back to .GIFfany) I can download your brain into the game, with me, and we'll be together, forever. (Points her at Soos, and it turns into an extending flash drive)
|
Soos
|
(Blocks belly button with his vest) Ah! Stay back! (Throws screwdriver)
|
.GIFfany
|
Come on, Soos. Don't make me delete you too.
|
|
Soos pulls out the "Romance Academy 7" disc from his pocket.
|
.GIFfany
|
What do you say?
|
Soos
|
I say, game over, .GIFfany! (Opens oven)
|
.GIFfany
|
No! Wait!
|
|
Soos throws the disc in the oven. It distorts and crinkles, .GIFfany screams and is erased from existence. The face of the specific animatronic she possessed melts, and the animatronic shuts down. The other animatronics shut down as well causing Mabel, Dipper and Melody to fall into the ball pit.
|
|
Cut outside, where Will E. Badger also shuts down and falls to the ground. Stan picks up Goldie.
|
Stan
|
You did it! You old beautiful monster. You did it! (Hugs Goldie) How's about you and me hit the town? These old-has-beens' are going to Vegas!
|
|
Cut to the wrecked Hoo-Ha's place. Soos and Melody sit upon the destruction.
|
Soos
|
(Sighs) I'm sorry for all this. I honestly remember this place being a lot more fun when I was a kid.
|
Melody
|
Believe it or not but I've been on worse dates.
|
Soos
|
Really?
|
Melody
|
Never date a magician.
|
Soos
|
(Makes disgusted noise) Why would I? (Melody jokingly hits him and they both laugh) Oh, hey, you wouldn't maybe be interested in going to my cousin's engagement party in a week? I promise there's like zero robot badgers.
|
Melody
|
(Chuckles) Yeah. I'll still be in town then.
|
Soos
|
"Still be in town?"
|
Melody
|
I'm going back home to Portland in a few weeks. But we can video chat, if that's okay with you?
|
Soos
|
A relationship with a girl that I can only see through my computer...sounds perfect!
|
|
Over at the ball pit, Dipper and Mabel are hanging out watching Soos and Melody converse.
|
Mabel
|
(Raises her arms high, cheers:) Spirit of love, we did it!
|
Abuelita
|
(Pops up out of ball pit) Yes. Yes, I am so happy.
|
Dipper
|
Have you been following us all day?
|
Abuelita
|
Soos' life is my soap opera. (Smiles)
