Under the Hood/Transcript

(This episode begins when Mordecai and Rigby are drinking coffee, and Benson asks them to paint over the graffiti on the park restrooms wall.)

Benson: Alright, I need you guys to paint over the graffiti on the bathroom. Just make sure you cover all of it.

Rigby: Cover all of it?

Benson: What'd I say? Yes, all of it. Get back to work. (walks away)

Mordecai: I wouldn't mind going back to sleep.(Scene transitions to Mordecai and Rigby painting over the graffiti)

Rigby: I'd like to find out who do this and just—ARRRGGH.

Mordecai: I know man, they're probably just sitting around somewhere just laughing at us.

Muscle Man: (laughs) You know who else had to clean up other peoples messes? My mom! (laughs)

Rigby: Did you paint this graffiti, Muscle Man?

Muscle Man: Pfft! Me, I'm an artist when it comes to pranks, but I am no graffiti artist. (Mordecai and Rigby notice orange stuff on Muscle Man's hands)

Mordecai: What is that?

Muscle Man: What is what?

Mordecai: The orange paint on your hands.

Muscle Man: It isn't paint, fools, it's just from the buffalo wings we just had for lunch.

Rigby: Yeah, right, it's all over you!

Muscle Man: Haven't you ever been to wing kingdom? They always hook you up with the sauce.

Rigby: I think you did this.

Muscle Man: You better watch who you're accusing, bro.

Mordecai: Show us your receipt then.

Muscle Man: What? Show us your receipt!

Mordecai: That's it.

Mordecai and Rigby: (running to Benson) BENSON!

Mordecai: We know who did the graffiti!

Benson: What? Who? (Scene switches back to Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost)

Muscle Man: It's buffalo sauce, smell it!

Benson: I'm not going to smell your fingers, Muscle Man. Just tell me the truth and I'll take your word for it.

Muscle Man: But I am telling you the truth, Benson! I can't believe you are listening to these clowns- (A can of spraypaint falls out of his pocket)

Rigby: Look, it's spray-paint!

Benson: Chicken wings, huh?

Muscle Man: Uh... um... that's not mine!

Mordecai: Yeah, right! It was in your pocket!

Muscle Man: Uh... okay, all right! I was spraypainting, okay? But, but--

Benson: But what?

Muscle Man: But I didn't do the graffiti! I was painting Hi Five Ghost's ride orange!

Hi Five Ghost:Really!?

Benson: Then why did you lie about the paint?

Muscle Man: Because it was supposed to be a surprise. Til you guys ruined it!

Rigby: He's lying!

Muscle Man: No, I'm not.

Benson: I'm sorry, Muscle Man. I'm gonna have to ask you to turn in your keys.

Muscle Man: What?

Benson: You heard me.

Muscle Man: Are you firing me, bro?!

Benson: Give me your keys.

Hi Five Ghost: If he goes, I go, too.

Benson: Okay, see ya.

Hi Five Ghost: Aww...

Muscle Man: That was really cool, bro. You want my keys, Benson? Fine! (He throws his keys on the ground at Benson's feet) But we were gonna quit this job anyways to follow our real dreams. And we're not coming back, no matter how much you beg! Come on, Fives. (They walk away)

Benson: I just want you guys to know that you did a good thing today. You narked a guy out and got him fired. Good job. (He walks away)

Mordecai: Whoa. I didn't think he was gonna fire him!

Rigby: Neither did I. (The real vandal starts spraypainting on the wall)

Mordecai: ''What the—Hey! Stop! (The vandal runs off. Rigby and Mordecai chase him until he hops over a fence, getting away)''

Rigby: That didn't look like Muscle Man...

Mordecai: That's because it wasn't Muscle Man.. oohh..

Rigby: Oh, man. What are we gonna do?

Mordecai: We have to get Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost their jobs back. (Scene transitions to Benson's office) Benson! It wasn't Muscle Man!

Benson: What are you talking about?

Rigby: It was this hooded guy! We didn't see his face, but--

Benson: Alright, I get it. You feel bad for getting Hi-Fives and Muscle Man fired. It's okay, I feel bad too. Doing the right thing is never easy, but it's the responsible thing to do. Like Rigby. When you ratted out Mordecai for putting expired milk in the fridge in exchange for a video rental coupon. That was very responsible.

Mordecai: Benson, we're serious. He's innocent!

Benson: That's enough! We're down two men and I've got a lot to do.So do you!

Rigby: No wait!

Benson: Now get of here and get back to work!

(Benson slams the door shut before Mordecai and Rigby looks at each other while frowning)

(Scene transitions to Skips's house)

Mordecai: (Opens door) Hey Skips.

(Skips turns his head around with buffalo sauce all over his mouth)

Skips: What?You trying to get me fired too?

Rigby: What?No no.

(Skips turns around holding a bowl of buffalo wings)

Skips: Good.Because its just wing sauce.Muscle man got me hooked with this stuff before you got him fired.

Mordecai: Yeah,about that do you know anything about who did the graffiti?

Skips: It could be Park Avenue. (Holds buffalo wing)

Rigby: Park Avenue?

Skips A young graffiti artist who as been around lately (Smiles while wiping mouth) He's not bad. Mordecai: Thts probably the guy we saw!

Skips: You gotta tell Benson.

Rigby We try to tell Benson.He didn't believe us.

Skips: Then you gotta catch him yourselves.But it's not gonna be easy.He strike without warning and vanishes with the wind.(Camera zooms out)Say,where is Muscle Man anyway?

Rigby: Following his real dream.

Skips:HE SAID THAT!?Oh no.
