This page is the transcript for "Sleep Cycle".


(Friday night. Mordecai and Rigby are both sat in the living room)

Mordecai: Aw, yeah-yuh! It's Friday night, which means this is the most amount of time before we have to go back to work again.

Rigby: And what better way to celebrate than by watching back-to-back movie marathons! Boop!

(Rigby presses a button on the TV remote and a movie starts playing. A woman is holding a bowl of spaghetti at the Precinct 89th Annual Potluck)

Morales: Who brought this spaghetti to the potluck?

(A Scottish man turns around, holding a bagpipe gun)

MacCreedy: Watch out, lady! It's a bomb!

(Morales looks down at the bowl to see a bomb inside the spaghetti. She throws the bowl away as MacCreedy blows into his bagpipe gun, shattering the bowl. A police chief approaches the duo)

Police Chief: Ah, Detective Morales. I see you already met your new partner, Duncan MacCreedy.

Morales: New partner? But he's -

MacCreedy: Scottish. You got a problem with that?

(The film cuts to the commercials as a continuity announcer speaks over a title card)

Announcer: We'll be back for the rest of our "Morales and MacCreedy" marathon after this.

(Mordecai and Rigby swing their arms into the air)

Mordecai & Rigby: All-nighter! All-nighter! All-nighter!

(Mordecai and Rigby spend the night watching the marathon, through into the next morning, as the first marathon ends)

Rigby: Totally worth it.

Rigby: Yeah...

(Mordecai and Rigby instantly fall asleep, snoring, until the next evening. Mordecai and Rigby hear a car skidding on the TV, which wakes them up)

Mordecai & Rigby: Huh?

Mordecai: Whoa, how long were we asleep?

Rigby: Huh? Doesn't matter, look!

(Rigby points at the TV, as another "Morales and MacCreedy" marathon begins. On the TV, Morales walks up to her desk holding a box, as she is heard as a voiceover)

Morales (VO): Nothing was the same since I got kicked off the force and was framed for murdering my partner, Duncan MacCreedy. But I'll prove my innocence. I'll show them all, my love.

(Morales holds a framed photo of MacCreedy. Suddenly, MacCreedy himself bursts through the door)

Morales: MacCreedy?

(MacCreedy starts firing his bagpipe gun at a ninja hiding behind Morales, saving her life)

MacCreedy: Don't ye go dyin' on me, Morales!

(The film cuts to the commercials as a continuity announcer speaks over a title card)

Announcer: You want it? You got it! Stay tuned for Night Two of the "Morales and MacCreedy" marathon!

(Mordecai and Rigby swing their arms into the air)

Mordecai & Rigby: Marathon! Marathon! Marathon!

(Mordecai and Rigby once again spend the night watching the marathon, before falling asleep in the morning, and staying asleep all day until the evening. The duo both wake up to see the next movie playing on the TV. At Loch Ness, Morales looks out to the sea. Her leg is suddenly grabbed by the zombie of MacCreedy, who is climbing out of the water)

Morales: MacCreedy!

MacCreedy: Didn't think you'd see me again, eh, Morales?

Morales: No, it wasn't me, Duncan. It was the police chief.

(MacCreedy's zombie turns his back on Morales)

MacCreedy: Why should I believe ya?

Morales: Believe me...for the sake of our son!

(MacCreedy's zombie turns back around to face Morales)

MacCreedy: Our son? Wait, is he a zombie?

(The film cuts to the commercials as a continuity announcer speaks over a title card)

Announcer: Keep watching for the thrilling conclusion to our "Morales and MacCreedy" marathon!

(Mordecai and Rigby weakly pump their fists in the air)

Mordecai & Rigby: All-nighter, all-nighter, all-nighter!

(The following morning, the final "Morales and MacCreedy" film ends. Mordecai and Rigby watch it, surrounded by takeout food and soda cans. In the film, Morales and MacCreedy, along with their son, are riding on a pterodactyl with bagpipes on its feet)

Morales: I guess I've gotta find a new line of work!

(Morales, MacCreedy, and their son all laugh as the pterodactyl flies into the sunset, and the credits roll)

Rigby: (laughs weakly) I really like the part with the bagpipe gun.

Mordecai: Yeah...I'm really happy with my life choices right now. But I definitely wanna go to sleep.

Rigby: Yeah-yuh, that trampoline's calling my name!

(Mordecai and Rigby slide off the sofa and head for the stairs, where they find Benson heading their way)

Benson: Looks like some guys I know are excited for the Monday morning meeting!

(Benson puts his arms around Mordecai and Rigby and brings them outside)

Mordecai & Rigby: What...? Monday...?

(Outside, Benson hosts another morning meeting, with Mordecai, Rigby, Pops, Skips, Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost in attendance)

Benson: Now, onto our next order of business...Skips, I need you to clean up all the leftover gourds.

(Rigby starts to fall asleep, but is quickly nudged by Mordecai, waking him back up. Despite this, Mordecai instantly falls asleep, but is nudged by Rigby. The two continue nudging each other to keep themselves awake as Benson speaks)

Benson: Muscle Man, Hi Fives, bring in all the paddle boats off the lake, and...

(Benson notices Mordecai and Rigby nudging each other)

Benson: Excuse me, is there a problem here?

Mordecai: Uh, no! Just...stretching!

(Mordecai and Rigby start stretching their muscles)

Rigby: Yeah, it's a morning person thing!

(Benson stares at them, before carrying on with listing the day's chores)

Benson: Moving on...Mordecai and Rigby, I want all the leaves raked and bagged by the end of the day.

Mordecai: Rake the bags and put 'em in the leaves!

Rigby: You got it!

Benson: I think you get the idea. I'll check back in later.

(Everybody walks off, leaving Mordecai and Rigby at the top of the stairs, exhausted. They both groan and collapse to the ground)

Rigby: Dude, most of my body's already asleep!

Mordecai: I know. Our sleep schedule's all out of whack. But, I think we just have to stay awake all day, that way we'll fall asleep like normal tonight.

Rigby: I'm in.

Mordecai: Okay. No matter what, we're gonna stay up all d-

(Jump cut to later in the day as the sun is setting. Mordecai and Rigby are in the exact same position, both fast asleep and snoring. They are suddenly woken up as they hear Benson yelling)

Benson: What are you doing!?

Mordecai & Rigby: Huh!?

Mordecai: What time is it?

Benson: Six o'clock! The sun's already down and you've raked no leaves!

Mordecai: Oh, but-

Benson: No 'buts', 'ands' or 'ifs'! I don't wanna hear it!

Mordecai: Uh, I think it's 'ifs', 'ands', or 'buts'.

Benson: Well, if you talk back to me again, and don't get back to work, your butts are gonna be fired!!

(Benson storms off angrily)

Mordecai: Dude, this is serious. We gotta get a good night's sleep.

(Sometime later in Mordecai and Rigby's room. Both Mordecai and Rigby are laying in their beds with their eyes wide open)

Rigby: Hey Mordecai, you awake?

Mordecai: Yeah.

Rigby: Do you ever look at the ceiling and start to see the stars?

(Rigby pats his chest)

Rigby: Life's really about the little moments, you know?

Mordecai: I bet if we watch something really boring on TV, we'll fall asleep.

(Rigby quickly jumps up)

Rigby: Yes, I hate the little moments!

(Moments later in the living room, Mordecai and Rigby are watching a documentary on TV, featuring Dr. Sheldon Weatherberry, who speaks very slowly)

Dr. Sheldon Weatherberry: Oh, hello. I'm Dr. Sheldon Weatherberry. (yawns) Welcome to my thrilling 24-part series on the art and upkeep of museum-level bug pinning.

(Mordecai and Rigby have their eyes glued to the screen)

Mordecai & Rigby: Perfect...

(On the TV, Dr. Sheldon Weatherberry is trying to shove a pin through a butterfly slowly)

Dr. Sheldon Weatherberry: Where you going, you slippery monarch?

(Mordecai and Rigby are getting ready to sleep)

Rigby: I finally feel like I can get some rest.

Mordecai: Yeah, let's go to bed.

(Mordecai and Rigby get off the sofa and are immediately horrified as they see the sun rising through the window. It's Tuesday morning already)

Mordecai & Rigby: No!!

(Later in the day, Mordecai and Rigby are raking the leaves weakly. They both have a cup of coffee in their hands)

Rigby: I can't keep this up, Mordecai. I'm fading.

Mordecai: You gotta keep raking, dude. Benson's still watching us.

(Mordecai and Rigby look up to Benson's office, where he is watching them. Mordecai takes a sip of coffee)

Mordecai: Do you think this coffee's even working?

(Rigby is snoring, fast asleep, although still standing with his eyes open. Mordecai whacks him with his rake, waking him back up)

Rigby: Yeah, it's totally working.

(Suddenly, Muscle Man grabs their attention)

Muscle Man: Trying to stay awake, huh? I've been there. If you want, I know a guy who's got the hookup on some really good coffee.

(Mordecai looks at Rigby)

Mordecai: Call him?

Rigby: Call him.

(Mordecai turns to look at Muscle Man)

Mordecai: Call him!

(Later, Mordecai and Rigby are sat waiting on the stairs)

Rigby: When's that guy gonna get here!?

(Suddenly, a van speeds up into the Park, crashes and explodes right in front of Mordecai and Rigby. A barista stands up within the rubble of the van)

Barista: Ah, you Mordecai and Rigby?

Mordecai & Rigby: Uh, yeah?

(The Barista pulls out two giant cups of coffee)

Barista: Then these are for you guys.

(Mordecai and Rigby take the cups and take a sip from the coffee. Their eyes immediately inflate)

Mordecai & Rigby: Whoa!

(The Barista falls to the ground)

Barista: Ugh. Call an ambulance.

(A montage begins. Mordecai and Rigby are raking the leaves and take a sip of coffee. Their pupils turn into scribbles and they instantly start raking faster. They start trimming the bushes, and the scene transitions to the inside of Mordecai's mouth, where he pours coffee down his throat. He then signals to Rigby, who runs along and jumps onto Mordecai, who pushes him into the sky for him to float across the Snack Bar's sign and wipe it clean. Rigby lands on the ground as the montage ends)

Rigby: Man, I love this coffee!

(Later, at 3:03AM. Mordecai and Rigby are once again laying in bed with their eyes wide open)

Rigby: I hate that coffee.

Mordecai: Yeah.

(Rigby tries to pull his eyelids shut)

Rigby: Agh! Dude, I can't even get my eyes shut!

(Rigby tries forcing his eyelids shut again, but they slap back into place, hurting Rigby)

Rigby: Ow!

Mordecai: We need help.

(At Skips' House, Skips is fast asleep. Mordecai and Rigby appear behind his bed and start whispering to him)

Rigby: Skips...Skips...

(Rigby decides to yell)

Rigby: Skips!!

(Skips wakes up)

Skips: What!? (coughs) What is it?

Mordecai: Sorry, we just need your help. We watched back-to-back TV marathons and now our sleep schedules are all messed up.

Skips: Ugh, fine! I'll help you guys. Let's get this over with. Eh, hand me my pants.

(Cut to Gary's home, where he is fast asleep. Mordecai, Rigby and Skips appear behind him and attempt whispering to him)

Mordecai, Rigby & Skips: Gary...Gary...

(Rigby once again decides to yell)

Rigby: Hey Gary!

(Gary wakes up)

Gary: Huh? W-what?

Skips: Mordecai and Rigby need to go to the sentinels of sleep.

Gary: But I need my rest. Do you think I can look this good without a full night's sleep?

Rigby: Yes.

Gary: That's the correct answer.

(Moments later, Mordecai, Rigby and Skips join Gary as he drives the guys to Drifters Port, a floating occupied asteroid in space. They walk through a corridor, preparing to meet the sentinels of sleep)

Gary: Keep it cool. This is a dangerous zone.

(Nearby, a bat-creature and a bird-creature are playing pool. The bat-creature is getting ready to hit a ball, when the bird-creature makes a noise, distracting the bat-creature and making them damage the pool table. The bat creature angrily hisses at the bird-creature. Elsewhere, an owl creature and his friend, known as Koko and Apollo respectively, score a bullseye on a dart board. Koko turns and sees Gary)

Koko: Well, well...look who it is.

Apollo: Let me guess, Gary and a couple of dudes we don't know.

Gary: These are my friends: Mordecai, Rigby and Skips. Guys, meet Apollo and Koko.

(Apollo and Koko both nod)

Rigby: (snickers) Koko? What kinda name is that?

(Suddenly, a devil-woman, a dog-man, a bowling man with a top-hat, a snake and a clown living inside the snake, all turn to stare at Mordecai and Rigby. Koko stares at Rigby, unimpressed)

Rigby: Some sorta cool guy name...

Gary: (sighs) Mordecai and Rigby have come to reverse their sleep schedules.

Apollo: Sleep schedules, huh? I don't know, Gary.

Gary: Guys, come on. Is there anything you can do to help?

Koko: Eh, there is a way. But these two don't look like they'll be able to handle it.

Rigby: Come on, man. We can handle it. We do crazy stuff all the time!

Apollo: Hmm. Alright, we'll give you a shot.

(Apollo summons a a projection of a sun circuit from his hand)

Apollo: Here's the deal. You gotta race to catch the sun. If you catch it before it sets, you'll go back to being a morning person.

(Mordecai and Rigby move towards the projection to examine it)

Rigby: So, we just gotta catch the sun?

Koko: Yeah, that's right. But if you fail, you'll be stuck as a night owl forever!

Skips: I don't know. Seems deceptively simple.

Apollo: We'll see.

Rigby: Pfft, easy! We'll do it!

(Apollo and Koko bring Mordecai, Rigby and Skips to the real circuit)

Apollo: There it is, boys. Behold.

(Mordecai and Rigby look out to the circuit, where they see a guy heading onto a makeshift bicycle)

Rigby: Hey, look! There's already a guy out there.

(The guys gets onto the bicycle)

Guy: This is it! I'm finally gonna get my life together! No more Mr. Night Guy!

(The circuit rearranges itself to be more complex than just round. A mascot of the sun winks and speeds away, as text on the ground of the circuit reads "GO!" The guy starts racing after the sun, avoids a few obstacles, then gets hit by another guy holding a pillow, and falls off the bike and into deep space)

Guy: Oh, no! There's no air out here!

(Mordecai and Rigby are still watching him)

Rigby: Does he have to be a night owl now?

Koko: Oh, no. He's just dead.

Mordecai: Uh...maybe we shouldn't do this.

(Apollo and Koko both shoot lasers from their eyes and blast Mordecai and Rigby, teleporting them onto an additional two makeshift bicycles. The night owls appear as holograms in the sky)

Apollo: You guys ready?

(Mordecai and Rigby look ahead at the complex circuit)

Apollo: I know it's a little intimidating, but we put some good stuff in there too.

(Apollo snaps his fingers and translucent pyramids appear around the circuit)

Apollo: Those pyramids will help you out.

Koko: Now, all you gotta do is catch the sun before it sets.

(Rigby turns to Mordecai)

Rigby: You think we can pull this off?

Mordecai: We have to. I don't wanna end up floating through space like that dude who got hit with the pillow.

Rigby: Good point.

Apollo: Ready, set, go!

(The circuit opens up and the sun speaks with a pre-recorded message)

Sun: You can't catch me! (laughs)

(Mordecai and Rigby start chasing the sun on their bikes, narrowly avoiding obstacles and the guy with the pillow. A translucent box with angel wings floats down to Mordecai)

Mordecai: Hey, it must be a power-up!

(Mordecai touches the box and it opens up, revealing itself to be a music box that plays relaxing music. This sends Mordecai straight to sleep)

Rigby: No!

(Rigby spots one of the pyramid power-ups and touches it, giving him a translucent mug. Rigby grabs it, then stops pedaling briefly to return to Mordecai, then continues pedaling when he is adjacent to him, and passes the mug over to him. Mordecai instantly wakes up)

Mordecai: Huh? Thanks, dude.

(Mordecai punches the music box, destroying it. He then turns around to see the sun)

Mordecai: Look! Let's go.

(Mordecai and Rigby continue chasing the sun. Suddenly, a black hole rips open behind Rigby and starts to suck him in. Mordecai finds another power-up which reveals a rocket. He activates the power-up, which acts as a rocket boost for both Mordecai and Rigby, who speed away from the black hole. Towards the end of their power up, they go through a water block, temporarily slowing them down, and start panting. They avoid a couple more obstacles. Meanwhile, Gary is watching them from the main port dock)

Gary: Way to go, guys!

Skips: Yeah, you're almost there!

Koko: Huh, good job, boys.

(Koko snaps his fingers. Rigby finds another power-up and grabs it)

Rigby: Aw, yeah-yuh!

(The power-up reveals itself to be a bomb)

Rigby: Huh?

(Rigby screams and throws the bomb behind him. It explodes, causing the circuit to start falling apart. Mordecai and Rigby quickly pedal as fast as they can to avoid falling. However, Rigby gets his wheel stuck and starts to fall)

Mordecai: Rigby!

Koko: (laughs) Serves you right! Koko is a family name! Nobody makes fun of Koko!

(Rigby tries desperately to stop falling, but is saved by Mordecai, who turns around and takes Rigby's hand to pull him off the bike and join him on his. Rigby's bike falls off the circuit, as the duo race away on Mordecai's bike. The duo then approach the finish line, but between them and the end is an area filled with spikes. Mordecai and Rigby quickly speed up a ramp and fly in the sky. They activate another power-up which gives their bike wings, and they fly towards the finish line. Moments before the sun reaches the end, Mordecai and Rigby jump off their bike to touch the sun, ending the race and making them morning people again. Back on Earth, the Sun is rising at the Park. Gary drops off Mordecai, Rigby and Skips, who all exit his car)

Gary: So long, boys!

(Gary flies away in his car, as Mordecai, Rigby and Skips enter the house)

Mordecai: (sighs) I can't wait to go to sleep.

Rigby: Hey, look.

(On the TV, a continuity announcement for another movie marathon is playing)

Announcer: Stay tuned for a marathon of "Morales and MacCreedy: Origins".

Mordecai & Rigby: (gasp) All-nighter! All-nighter! All-nighter!

(Skips smashes his fist through the TV screen)

Skips: Go to sleep!

End of "Sleep Cycle"
