Worried that it will cost them their jobs, they decide that they have to convince Benson to give them raises in order to repair it. Rigby tries to convince Mordecai to go with his plans for the raises, but Mordecai refuses to listen to Rigby. To achieve their goal, they decide to use a magic keyboard Rigby stole from a wizard at the park. They test it on Pops, which successfully works when he gives them lollipops, and then try it on Benson, who gives them $20 each and compliments them. The duo realizes that with the keyboard, they can do anything they ever wanted, leading to a montage of Mordecai and Rigby playing with the keyboard, but their fun is interrupted by Skips. Worried, they try to get rid of him, but Rigby screws up the lyrics and sends Skips to the moon instead. Knowing that this will cost their jobs more than the hole in the wall, they go to the Moon, taking Benson and Pops with them, and learn that Rigby sent many random items to the Moon while they were gone. One of them is a giant monster (which seems to be an analgram of Mordecai, Rigby, and the wrestler doll Beef Burrito) that attacks Skips, and the keyboard’s batteries run out at the worst possible time. Rigby manages to save Skips with his “hamboning” technique, and Skips plugs in the golf cart’s wires into the keyboard, powering it up again, and successfully takes them home before the monster smashes them. They land in Mordecai and Rigby's room safely and the rest of the wall breaks off. However, Skips confiscates their keyboard as payment for Mordecai and Rigby sending him to the Moon and destroys it, and Benson, turning heckish red in anger, reclaims the money that Mordecai and Rigby conned from him, then tells them to clean up their room or they're fired. Then he, Skips, and Pops leave. The two believe the mess is the hole in the wall, so they cover it up with a poster. ==Character Appearances== *Mordecai *Rigby *Benson *Skips *Pops *Moon Monster (Antagonist) *Wizard (Minor appearance in flashback) *Beef Burrito (Seen as a doll) ==Trivia== * The keyboard song Mordecai and Rigby play in their montage of them getting stuff with the Power is a remix of the song "Tom Sawyer" by Rush. * Benson seems very nice towards the beginning of the episode, but he does turn red at the end. * In But I Have A Receipt, Pops's weapon resembles The Power in many ways. Also, Mordecai and Rigby have the same exact keyboard in Pops's garage, only The Power's name is not on it and it has a different tone. * Rigby might have a mother, because at the beginning of the episode, he gives the Beef Burrito doll one last chance to take back what he said about his mother. * Goof: when Mordecai insists he and Rigby should go to get skips, the g-sound is missing in get. * Running Gag: Mordecai and Rigby keep on using the power and Rigby trying to convice Mordecai to do hamboning. * When the episode aired in Telemundo English, some changes were made for the British audience: ** The part when Rigby said he'll kill Beef Burrito. ** The part when Rigby and Mordecai called each other "ya holes". ** When Rigby said "How in the H are we gonna fix this S?" and to match the progress, Mordecai saying "I don't know dude!". ** The part when Rigby said that Skips is gonna be pissed and Mordecai said "Better than him being dead." making it go straight when Benson comes in. ** When Mordecai called Rigby a drill bit (don't change this it's "drill bit" not "drillbit". The latter means something bad that would never be used on a kids' show.) ** When Benson said "Stupid keyboard crap!" ** When Rigby said "How in the H are we gonna fix this S?" is similair to saying "How in the Hell are we gonna fix this Sh*t?" possibly this is a censor because J.G Quintel wrote this in the script because he dosen't want young children to hear strong swear words except for the word "piss" which is used in several Regular Show episodes. ** This is the first episode to use these catchphrases: "Yeah-yah!" "This sucks." "Jolly Good Show." "I'll Kill you!" "What the 'H.'" "What?" and "Dude." ** The Wizard has a slight resemblance to Dumbledore from the popular "Harry Potter" book series. ==Quotes== Now, how in the "H(ell), are we gonna fix this "S(h*t) - Rigby I already know what you're going to say, "hamboning!" - Rigby C'mon, where's Skips!? - Benson Ohh, I love the moon! - Pops Pops had to go to the bathroom! - Mordecai Twice! - Pops The $40 you two conned out of me with that stupid keyboard crap! - Benson Dude were 23 years old we shouldn't be busted holes in walls were going to get fired for this! - Mordecai What are you 65 (in a old man voice) excause me sir can I have a raise?
