| OOOOOOOHHHHHHH! |
Part 1[]
(Outside Pops' House, yet another morning meeting is taking place, with Mordecai, Rigby, Pops, Skips, Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost being spoken to by Benson)
Benson: And Mordecai and Rigby, let's have you pick up trash over by the Snack Bar.
Rigby: Gah, again!?
Benson: Don't worry, this is the last time you'll be on trash duty for a while.
Mordecai: Awesome! Wait, we're not getting another intern are we? 'Cause I don't know if I can handle another spy situation.
Benson: No, I've actually got some pretty big news about your dome-estic situation.
(Benson's employees all sit in silence)
Benson: Hopefully it won't cause too much pan-dome-monium.
(The guys continue to sit in silence)
Benson: Dome you have any ideas about what's going to happen?
(The guys stay sat silent, Benson looks disappointed)
Benson: No-one, huh? Well, since I have to spell it out for you: Maellard's decided to seal off the Park in a dome to create a contained ecosystem! A group of scientists from the government is gonna study it for a whole month!
Muscle Man: Bro, how would we ever have guessed that?
Mordecai: A whole month? Where are we supposed to go?
Benson: You'll have to move out. The dome's dropping tomorrow, isn't that exciting?
Pops: Why aren't you more upset about the inconvenience?
Benson: Because I don't live at the Park.
Skips: So we can stay at your place?
Benson: Heh, well. My place, while officially a one-bedroom...
(Gusts of wind begin to flow through the Park heavily, Benson notices this and starts to shout over it)
Benson: ...feels more like a studio, so there isn't really any room -
(Benson looks up to see a giant dome being dropped onto the Park. The other park workers notice too)
Hi Five Ghost: It's not tomorrow, it's today! They're sealing the Park today!
Muscle Man: Grab your valuables!
(The employees quickly run to grab their possessions, as Benson watches the dome drop, confused. Rigby grabs a bunch of pizza pouches from the freezer, Mordecai shoves a bunch of VHS tapes as well as his and Rigby's TV into a sack, Muscle Man grabs a selection of letters from his late father and shoves them in his pants, Pops opens up a safe full of lollipops, and Skips waters his plants. The guys all run as fast as they can to the exit before the dome seals)
Muscle Man: She's gonna seal!
(The dome is about to reach the level of the Park's gates)
Muscle Man: Lighten your loads!
(Muscle Man throws a bunch of letters away and Mordecai drops his sack. Unlucky for them, they miss the exit by a second, and Rigby drops his pizza pouches just outside of the Dome's path as it is sealed around the Park. Rigby groans. Muscle Man starts banging his fists on the dome)
Muscle Man: Agh! Live free or die!
(The guys all murmur worriedly, terrified of their fate now trapped inside the Park for a month)
Rigby: It's not fair!
(They all stop murmuring as they hear Benson heading towards them, in a much more positive mood than any of them)
Benson: Hey, guys! Let's relax, okay? Like I said, they're not sealing the dome 'til tomorrow.
Hi Five Ghost: Are you blind, man!? Can you not see that the dome has been sealed today?
Benson: Calm down! Look, here comes Maellard now, I'm sure he'll clear this whole thing up.
(Mr. Maellard pulls up outside of the Park Dome in his limo and Pops his head through the sunroof)
Benson: Maellard!
(Mr. Maellard points to the side of his head (where his ears would be) and shakes his head, implying that he cannot hear Benson)
Benson: Oh, okay!
(Benson receives a call from Mr. Maellard on his phone and answers it)
Benson: Maellard! So, the test run's looking pretty successful on our end.
(Benson knocks on the dome)
Benson: Good fit! Yep, looks like we're in good shape for tomorrow!
(Benson hangs up the phone)
Benson: See? So you can all -
(Benson is interrupted as his phone rings again)
Benson: Maellard again.
(Benson answers the phone)
Benson: Benson speaking.
(Benson listens to Mr. Maellard on the phone, as a science van pulls up outside of the dome. Maellard's words are unheard from inside the dome)
Benson: Oh, but I don't get dates wrong.
(Mr. Maellard continues to speak over the phone, as two more vans pull up outside the dome)
Benson: And the dome is gonna stay where it is for the next thirty days.
(Mr. Maellard speaks, as a scientist approaches him with a bag of money. Maellard takes the money, speaks again, and hangs up the phone. Benson turns around to face his employees)
Benson: So...
Skips: We figured it out.
Rigby: This isn't fair!
(The park workers all complain simultaneously, as Benson glares at them and speaks to himself)
Benson: Got the date wrong? But I'm me, Benson!
(Benson holds and shakes his head, before yelling to his workers)
Benson: Emergency meeting, my office, now!
(Back at Pops' house, the guys, minus Muscle Man, are all gathered inside Benson's office)
Benson: So, I'm sure you all know why we're here.
Skips: To figure out how to survive in a dome for a month?
Benson: To look at the email I got from the dome guys, and prove I was right about the drop date.
(Mordecai and Rigby groan)
Benson: You won't be groaning when you see this!
(Benson turns his monitor around, but almost instantly, the power goes out in the house. Mordecai and Rigby groan again, with Skips and Hi Five Ghost joining them)
Benson: It's okay. I've got a printed backup version.
Mordecai: That's not what we're mad about.
(Benson walks over to a filing cabinet to find his printed copy of the email)
Rigby: You really print every email?
Benson: Yes, I do. For this exact type of situation. So, it's not like you can make fun of me, because I was prepared. Yep, you can't cut off the power to my physical mail, or as I call it: My P-Mail.
Mordecai: We don't care!
Skips: Is your P-Mail gonna feed us for a month?
Pops: I'm scared!
Rigby: I'm hungry!
Benson: Listen, I'm sure you'll all calm down when you see -
(Benson finds the P-Mail, but stops in his tracks when he notices that the date is different once again)
Benson: What the? What's this?
(Benson looks at the P-Mail from Mr. Maellard which reads: "Benson, Below is a forwarded message about the dome drop tomorrow. I've deleted the contact information because that stuff is on a need-to-know basis." followed by a forwarded email from a redacted address, reading: "Greetings! We are excited that you have graciously allowed us to use your park in the Dome Experiment. Hopefully you are as interested as we are in finding out if your park and its workers can [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED]. This message is to confirm that the dome will drop down today at 9:15am. Please make sure your park manager is explicitly informed of this date and that he gets it right. Kindest regards, [REDACTED])
Mordecai: You were wrong about the date, now can you please just help us?
Hi Five Ghost: We really need leadership right now.
(Benson is still focused on the P-Mail)
Benson: No, this isn't right. It's all wrong!
(Muscle Man enters the office)
Muscle Man: Do not go into the bathroom. The waters has been cut off as well.
(Outside, a strange noise can be heard)
Rigby: Do you hear that?
(The guys mutter curiously as they make their way over to the window. They look outside to see a mass of dome drones flying through the park, and dropping packages)
Mordecai: What are those things?
Hi Five Ghost: They're dropping packages!
Skips: Let's take a look.
Benson: Now, wait just one -
(The guys all leave Benson's office, leaving him sat at his desk)
Benson: Okay, I'll just hang back, sort this date thing out.
(Benson sighs and walks over to a calendar. He looks up at it)
Benson: I can't believe it. I, was I really wrong?
(Benson grabs the P-Mail)
Benson: Wait. This paper stock.
(Benson picks up another P-Mail from his desk and compares the two)
Benson: It has a much finer tooth than mine, and it's slightly off white to boot. Hmm...
(Benson looks at both P-Mails side-by-side)
Benson: (scoffs) What the? I can't believe...the watermarks aren't even the same font!
(Benson puts down the P-Mails)
Benson: They tried to make a fool out of me.
(Benson walks over to the window and looks outside)
Benson: I've been so blind.
(Benson smirks)
Benson: Hmph. I'm gonna blow this thing wide open.
(A few moments later, Benson bursts out of the house and runs over to his employees, holding the P-Mails)
Benson: Guys, wait 'til you see this paper stock! Huh?
(Benson watches the guys opening up the packages dropped by the drones)
Rigby: Cool! Custom jackets with our names on 'em!
Skips: Hey, those are pretty sharp.
Benson: Excuse me!?
(Hi Five Ghost is examining three boxes of food)
Hi Five Ghost: If we keeps things rationed, this should be enough food for the month.
(Muscle Man is eating a bag of seeds)
Muscle Man: I don't normally like seeds, but in the dome -
Mordecai: Those aren't for eating. They're for planting, dude.
Muscle Man: Oh. That explains why they're unsalted.
Benson: Hello!? Are you even listening to me? We're being actively lied to about the date!
Skips: Sometimes, the better man admits when he's made a mistake.
Benson: You guys really don't believe me.
Skips: Your thing is the least of our problems.
(Hi Five Ghost approaches)
Hi Five Ghost: Hey, uh, so I was thinking...we should write up a full inventory of these supplies. Is that a good idea, Benson?
(Benson is distracted as he notices a drone flying out of the house)
Hi Five Ghost: Uh, Benson?
Benson: Huh? Uh, sure. You go ahead with all that. I gotta go do something.
Hi Five Ghost: Okay, sounds good!
(Benson runs off and follows the drone. He attempts to roll stealthily from one tree to another, but hurts himself in the process)
Benson: Ugh! (inhales) Agh! Rolled on my keys.
(Benson continues to follow the drone carefully. The drone then pushes a stick forward, which swings back into Benson's face)
Benson: Augh!
(The drone hears Benson and turns around. Luckily, Benson hides behind the tree and imitates a bird)
Benson: Uh, I mean..."Caw! Caw!"
(The drone turns back around and continues its journey. Benson runs after the drone, but suddenly loses it, with it supposedly vanishing)
Benson: Huh?
(Benson continues walking in hopes of finding the drone)
Benson: It vanished...it was right in front of me! Where on Earth -
(Benson suddenly walks into a smaller dome camouflaged as the surroundings of the Park. He falls back)
Benson: Whoa...another dome?
(A bird is seen flying into the smaller dome, and drops to the ground. Benson walks over to the bird)
Benson: I know, I didn't see it either!
(Benson picks the bird up and circles around the small dome)
Benson: And why's it camouflaged?
(Benson notices a doorway blocked by lasers)
Benson: Geez...Pretty high security. Something is fishy here. I wanna see what's going on in there.
(Benson notices a small window near the top of the dome, and climbs up to it and looks inside to see two scientists talking. One scientist passes the other a top secret file with a picture of Benson attached, and puts his finger to his lips, as the other does the same, before saluting)
Benson: Why do they have my picture?
(Benson hears a noise)
Benson: Someone's coming!
(Benson slides down the dome and hides behind two trash cans. Two scientists, Steffen and Tobias, pull up to the small dome on a dome-cycle. They run up to the laser doorway holding guns)
Benson: Armed guards and a laser-beam door? They really don't want visitors.
(The bird looks at Benson)
Benson: Wait, of course! It's so obvious. That must be where they've hidden my P-Mail. I better go tell the guys about this, maybe we can overpower them and I can clear my name.
(The bird continues to listen to Benson)
Benson: I like you, bird. I think I'll call you "Antares".
(A weaponized drone appears behind Benson)
Benson: Huh?
(Antares quickly flies away)
Benson: Antares, you coward!
(Benson is instantly shot with a dart)
Benson: Hey...
(Benson passes out as the drone moves towards him. Cut to black. Benson is now seen drooling on the ground, with stubble growing. He wakes up and holds his head)
Benson: Ugh...what?
(Benson looks around and sees that he's now in a wooded area)
Benson: How long have I been out?
(Benson feels his stubble)
Benson: Judging by my stubble growth, I'd say...76 hours!
(A gust of wind blows through. Benson holds himself to prevent getting too cold)
Benson: Brr, I'd better get back to the house. It's probably pretty dire over there without me.
(Back at the house, Skips is working on the house, Pops is raking some soil, and Mordecai and Rigby are playing video games outside, with their console hooked up to a generator. They are all wearing the jackets provided by the dome drones. Benson walks up to them, which Pops notices)
Pops: Oh, Benson! You're okay! We were worried about you.
Benson: I'm fine, Pops. I just need to call a -
(Benson notices the soil which Pops has been raking)
Benson: Is that a garden?
Pops: Mm-hmm! We ran out of food, so we're growing our own. Living off the land has been quite invigorating!
(Benson turns around to notice Mordecai and Rigby playing video games)
Benson: Heh, living off the land, huh? Looks like you two are really contributing to the cause.
Rigby: Actually, we're on break.
(Hi Five Ghost approaches Mordecai and Rigby, holding a clipboard)
Hi Five Ghost: Hey guys, I appreciate you putting in the hours earlier. I know getting up at dawn isn't easy, but those latrines are looking tip-top!
Mordecai: Hey, no thanks necessary!
Rigby: Yeah, just happy to do our part.
(Benson notices the clipboard)
Benson: Is that my clipboard?
Hi Five Ghost: Oh, hey Benson. (laughs) Yeah, it's funny, but I suppose I've kinda become the de facto leader in your absence. Everyone's really coming to their own as a contributing member of the dome-unity. Now that you're back, I guess you probably want this back.
(Hi Five Ghost hands the clipboard over to Benson, but Benson rejects him)
Benson: Yeah, sure. Look, everyone listen!
(Everybody gathers around Benson and Hi Five Ghost)
Benson: I have something very important to show you pertaining to my P-Mail!
Rigby: Benson, it's okay! Nobody cares about that anymore.
Pops: Yes, Benson. We've grown quite fond of the dome!
Benson: Look, I know you all still blame me for being stuck in here, so just come with me and I'll prove it wasn't my fault!
Mordecai: (groan) Fine, let's just get this over with.
(Some time later, Benson brings the guys to the area of the Park where the smaller dome was, but it's mysteriously disappeared)
Benson: This can't be...it was right here! I'm telling you, there was a whole other dome! Just like the big one but little, with trees on it and lasers.
(Hi Five Ghost approaches Benson and puts his hand on his shoulder)
Hi Five Ghost: It's okay, Benson. Come back with us to the camp, and we'll set you up a hammock in the meditation tent.
(Benson slaps Hi Five Ghost's hand away)
Benson: I don't need your pity hammocks!
(Hi Five Ghost quickly retreats to the other workers)
Benson: What's going on here? Why are you being all weird and...supportive? Did the dome people get to you?
Mordecai: Benson, chill. You can trust us.
Benson: Stay back!
(Benson runs into the woods)
Benson: I trust no-one!
Mordecai: Benson, wait!
(Mordecai attempts to go after Benson, but Hi Five Ghost stops him)
Hi Five Ghost: Let him go. The dome affects us all in different ways.
(Benson watches the guys through some bushes)
Benson: They'll see...these dome guys are up to something, and I'll prove it! Even if it takes me all month.
(A montage begins. Benson notices a dirt track and follows it, but it just needs to a lake. Benson jumps into the lake, which leads him to climbing up a cliff, where he oversees the Park, and rediscovers the small dome. Outside the small dome, a scientist puts a package into a drone and activates it, making it float up to a moon door at the top of the dome. On Day 10, Benson has started to grow black curly hair, and is laying on the ground freezing cold. On Day 15, Benson creates a den out of branches and leaves. Inside the den, he sticks up a poster of a squirrel hanging from a branch, with the text "Hang in there!" Benson smiles confidently at the poster. On Day 17, Benson hides behind the upper levels of a tree as he watches Mordecai and Pops walk by in the woods. He begins carving wood to create a bow and arrow. He practices shooting on a dartboard but fails. Antares then returns to give Benson back his arrow. Now with Antares by his side, Benson practices again and scores a bullseye. On Day 22, Benson finds a grenade and pours its gunpowder onto a leaf, and wraps it up around his arrow, to create an explosive arrow. On Day 25, Benson observes a drone entering safely into the small dome. He nods his head. The montage ends with Benson picking up his bow and a bag of arrows)
Benson: I'm ready.
(Benson is shown dressed similarly to Rambo from the franchise of the same name)
Benson: (In the style of the Donkey Kong theme) Dome, dome-dome, dome, dome...
Part 2[]
(A drone enters the small dome through the laser doorway. Benson observes from inside a bush)
Benson: Time to blow this thing wide open.
(Benson watches another drone fly past, then runs quickly to jump onto it. Benson clings to the back of a drone as it enters the small dome, granting him immediate access. When inside, Benson jumps off the dome and sneaks around the corner, where he sees a scientist, Tobias, scanning their teeth for entry to a room. Another scientist, Trent, is nearby. Benson whistles like a bird to get his attention)
Trent: Huh? Darn birds got in again!
(Benson suddenly jumps Trent and punches him in the face, knocking him out. He drags his body over to the door and scans his teeth, opening the door. Benson sneaks through the door where he hears Tobias talking to another scientist, Pam)
Tobias: I hear the whole thing'll be blasting off in a couple months.
Pam: Well, assuming Steffen can get his act together.
(Pam nudges Tobias with her elbow, as Benson sneaks off into a room with a sign reading "Secret". Benson looks around the room and finds blueprints for the Park within the dome)
Benson: What the?
(Benson then sees blueprints for the Park mysteriously being lifted from the ground, labelled SPARK, as well as a blueprint of the Park dome orbiting the Earth)
Benson: Oh...my...my P-Mail's not up there!
(Benson, ignoring the mysterious blueprints, which also includes prints of both his and his co-workers' skeletons, heads over to a desk to search for his P-Mail. He switches on a light abd searches through different papers)
Benson: Come on, come on...
(Benson pushes away different papers, such as blueprints, a SPARK Initiative letter, a leaflet on the guys' cool jackets)
Benson: It's true. It must all be true! I'm gonna blow this thing wide open.
(Behind him stands Dr. Dome, lurking in the shadows, along with Trent, Pam and Steffen)
Dr. Dome: Benson Dunwoody. Park manager, former drummer, stick hockey enthusiast. I...am Dr. Dome. Welcome to my domicile.
Benson: I don't care who you are! I think we both know what's going on around here!
Benson: I can see you've accurately surmised our plans.
(Dr. Dome heads over to a filing cabinet)
Dr. Dome: I knew to look for your backup, for I too print my emails...
(Dr. Dome pulls out a P-Mail belonging to Benson)
Dr. Dome: ...just in case.
Benson: Is that my P-Mail?
Dr. Dome: Our plans have surely been made apparent to you by this point. Why we put a dome over the park and pumped it full of oxygen...why we created a self-sustaining environment within it...why we switched the date on your email...why we -
(Dr. Dome stops talking as he is interrupted by Benson)
Benson: Aha! So you admit you did change the dates! And I've got the proof right here!
(Benson takes the P-Mail from Dr. Dome and laughs manically)
Dr. Dome: Yeah. Of course we did. As you know, that's part of the test.
(Benson stares at Dr. Dome, completely oblivious. Dr. Dome whispers to Steffen)
Dr. Dome: Perhaps the data isn't as compromised as we initially thought.
Benson: Yeah, wait. What are all these blueprints for?
(Dr. Dome snaps his fingers, Trent and Pam run over to Benson and restrain him, with Trent passing Dr. Dome back the P-Mail. Dr. Dome then eats the P-Mail and swallows it)
Dr. Dome: Ah...
Benson: No!!!
(Benson is shot by a dart, but it has no affect)
Benson: What the?
(Dr. Dome takes the dart blowpipe from Steffen)
Dr. Dome: Steffen, come on. It is a very simple user interface. Antidote dart, knockout dart...
(Dr. Dome switches the blowpipe from antidote mode to knockout mode)
Dr. Dome: Remember what I just showed you because it is important!
(Dr. Dome shoots Benson with the blowpipe again, making him pass out instantly. Dr. Dome, Pam, Steffen and Trent watch over him as he drifts away)
Pam: Do you think he'll tell the others?
Dr. Dome: Only one way to find out...
(Benson passes out. Meanwhile back at the Park, the House has been completely transformed into a farm. Inside a greenhouse, Mordecai is on a ladder connecting two pipes together, as Rigby holds the ladder for him at the bottom. Hi Five Ghost approaches them)
Hi Five Ghost: Ooh, be careful up there! How are you guys doing?
Mordecai: Well, we 've just about finished with the irrigation system.
(Mordecai climbs down the ladder)
Hi Five Ghost: Great! You guys are doing great work.
(Outside, Hi Five Ghost pours Mordecai and Rigby a glass of water with a faucet)
Hi Five Ghost: Here, I don't want you guys to get dehydrated.
Mordecai & Rigby: Thanks, boss.
(Hi Five Ghost passes Mordecai an Rigby two glasses of water. He then turns around to see Pops shirtless, while lifting something from the ground)
Hi Five Ghost: Looking good, Pops!
Pops: Thank you!
(Muscle Man and Skips walk towards the group, coming from the woods)
Hi Five Ghost: Good, you're back! Any luck?
Muscle Man: Yeah, bad luck.
Skips: We couldn't find him.
(Hi Five Ghost takes a sip of coffee)
Hi Five Ghost: This isn't good.
Mordecai: What do you think we should do?
(Hi Five Ghost thinks)
Hi Five Ghost: Hmm...Yep, okay. Let's all go out in an organized search party, hopefully we can find him and talk to him calmly. Now, remember out mantra.
Everyone: The dome affects us all in different ways.
Hi Five Ghost: Great. Let's go!
(Hi Five Ghost drops his mug to the ground, as the guys all make their way into the woods)
Hi Five Ghost: Everybody, please stick together.
Rigby: Guys, I think I found something!
(Fade to black. Benson is back at the house, laid back on the sofa. He wakes up to see Mordecai, Rigby and Skips, although their voices are strangely very different...)
Fake Mordecai: Benson? He's waking up!
Benson: Where...am I?
Fake Skips: He's still unstable.
Fake Mordecai: Benson, are you alright? We found you passed out in the forest. Are you okay?
Benson: What? Yeah, I'm -
Fake Rigby: Is there anything you wanna tell us?
Benson: Huh?
Fake Rigby: Any big secrets?
Fake Mordecai: Really cool headband, Benson.
Fake Skips: Seems like you've been through a lot. What happened?
Benson: Well, (coughs) Now that you mention it, I was doing some recon...actually came across some very earth-shattering -
(Benson hesitates to continue as he sees an unusual mirror placed on the wall of the living room)
Benson: Hey, has that mirror always been there?
Fake Rigby: Oh, that old thing? Never mind that!
(On the other side of the mirror, Dr. Dome is observing them, analyzing Benson's actions)
Fake Skips: Now, you were saying about your time in the forest?
Fake Rigby: Yeah, tell us more, sir!
Benson: Sir?
(Benson grabs the fake Rigby and pulls him forwards)
Benson: What did you call me!?
(Benson gasps as he fully gains consciousness, and realizes that the Rigby he's communicating with is not the real Rigby, but a man in a costume. Benson puts the fake Rigby down, as fake Mordecai, a man in a Mordecai costume, approaches him)
Fake Mordecai: Hey, Benson. Is there something wrong?
Fake Skips: Maybe you should lie back down.
(Fake Pops appears and brings up a popsicle)
Fake Pops: Would you like a popsicle?
(Benson starts sweating nervously and breathing heavily)
Benson: Sorry, think I'm still feeling a bit rattled from everything...say, remember that game we used to play that always made me really comfortable and let my guard down?
(Fake Hi Five Ghost arrives, literally as a scientist wearing a sheet over their head with a cardboard hand sticking out)
Fake Hi Five Ghost: Of course, what was it again?
Benson: "The Close Our Eyes Game", where we all close our eyes!?
(Everybody murmurs excitedly, before closing their eyes. Benson slowly sneaks away, before flipping the table and running off. He leaves through the front door, but suddenly realizes that he was never even in the house, but a set made to look like it. He finds a corridor filled with doors)
Benson: What the?
(Benson races to the exit, where in his way he finds a fake Muscle Man)
Fake Muscle Man: Oh no, bro!
(Benson pushes fake Muscle Man away. Next up, a fake Techmo appears in his path)
Fake Techmo: Benson! It's me, Techmo!
Benson: Oh, come on! I barely know you!
(Benson pushes fake Techmo away. Finally blocking his path is a fake Audrey)
Fake Audrey: Benson, slow down! I'm your girlfriend, Audrey!
Benson: We broke up months ago!
(Benson runs passed her and opens the door at the end of the corridor, where he finds himself leaving the small dome inside of the Park. Outside are four dome-cycles. Benson runs over to one and drives away in it. Meanwhile, the real employees are still searching for Benson in the woods)
Mordecai: Benson!
Muscle Man: Benson bro, where are you?
Mordecai: Benson!
(Suddenly, a fake Benson jumps out of the bushes, with his regular appearance and a different voice)
Rigby: Whoa! Benson, why are you lurking in the bushes?
Fake Benson: Oh, right. I don't normally do that. (laughs) I guess I got mixed up and took a wrong turn. And speaking of mix-ups, now that the gang's back together and everything's back to normal, I wanted to tell you it turns out I actually did get the date wrong on that email. (laughs) I apologize for making such a fuss.
(Mordecai and Rigby suspiciously glance at each other)
Mordecai & Rigby: You apologize, huh?
Fake Benson: Yep. After all, you know your old pal Benson's motto: "Don't sweat the small stuff!"
Mordecai: He's a fake!
Rigby: Get him!
(Mordecai and Rigby grab the fake Benson and pull him out of the bushes, where it is revealed to be a puppet controlled by one of the scientists. As a consequence, they pull the scientist out too)
Rigby: What the heck is this? Where's the real Benson?
(The scientist continues the Fake Benson act)
Fake Benson: I'll never tell!
(The scientist makes Fake Benson pretend to die, then stands up and stops the act)
Scientist: Please, go back to your house! Dr. Dome is not gonna - huh?
(Benson suddenly hovers into the woods on the dome-cycle and knocks the scientist away)
Mordecai: Benson!
Rigby: Is it really you?
Benson: This whole month has been a lie! They're not studying the park, they're studying us! Also, I was right about the dates, and I was right about the second dome, and you should never have doubted me!
Mordecai: It's definitely him.
Rigby: So, what do we do?
(Benson runs over to a log and slams open a secret compartment. Inside is a bag of explosive arrows)
Benson: We're gonna take back our free-dome! To the dome-cycle!
(The gang run towards Benson's stolen dome-cycle. Mordecai and Rigby hop into the front with Benson, while the other workers jump onto four drones connected. Behind them, Steffen and Trent appear on two dome-cycles, with Tobias, Pam and Dr. Dome appearing above them in two hovercrafts)
Dr. Dome: Orders from on high say compromised data must be destroyed. Dome let them get away!
(Benson notices the scientists following him, so he grabs a bow and arrow)
Mordecai: Is that a bow and arrow?
Benson: Yes.
(Benson fires a rope-connected bow at a tree, allowing his dome-cycle to spin around and knock Steffen off his dome-cycle and get trapped in the rope. His dome-cycle crashes into a tree, with a piece of it smashing through the glass of Tobias and Pam's hovercraft. Benson drives the dome-cycle towards the smaller dome, and starts to drive it up the dome. Dr. Dome tunes into a radio)
Dr. Dome: Weather control, give me freezing rain.
(Higher up in the dome is a weather control booth, with a scientist controlling the weather of the dome)
Weather Controller: Yes, sir!
(The controller presses a button marked "Freezing Rain" on the control panel, causing the dome to fill up with freezing rainclouds. A downpour begins, causing the dome-cycle to start sliding around. A minigun then elevates from the small dome, firing knockout darts at the dome-cycle. Mordecai and Rigby scream as Benson ties a rope around himself and the dome-cycle)
Benson: Hold on!
(Tied up, Benson jumps from the dome-cycle and slides on his knees around the slippy small dome)
Everyone: Whoa...
(While sliding across the dome, Benson fires four explosive arrows towards the minigun, making it explode. Benson then jumps back onto the dome-cycle)
Mordecai: Benson?
Rigby: Didn't - didn't that hurt your knees?
(Benson flies from the small dome onto the bigger dome, where he drives it vertically. Trent follows him and starts shooting darts at the group)
Mordecai: Behind us! Look out, he's got a dart -
(Mordecai and Rigby both get shot with knockout darts, immediately putting them to sleep. Benson jumps onto Trent's dome-cycle, steals his dart blowtube and kicks him off the dome-cycle. Benson then fires an antidote dart at both Mordecai and Rigby, waking them back up. They gasp. Dr. Dome, Tobias and Pam both elevate above the rainclouds)
Dr. Dome: Fire! Fire all of your darts!
(Tobias and Pam both fire knockout darts at Mordecai and Rigby. They fall asleep again, causing the dome-cycle to fall down. Benson, still on Trent's dome-cycle, quickly brings said dome-cycle in the way of his own, to prevent it from falling, and fires antidote darts at Mordecai and Rigby again, waking them back up)
Mordecai & Rigby: Huh?
(Benson throws the dart blowtube towards Rigby, who uses it to fire an antidote dart at Tobias, having no effect other than a slight pain)
Tobias: Ow!
Mordecai: Dude!
(Mordecai takes the dart blowtube from Rigby and fires a knockout dart at Pam, putting her to sleep. Tobias retaliates by firing yet another knockout dart at Mordecai)
Mordecai: Huh?
(Mordecai falls fast asleep again, as Rigby takes back the blowtube and fires an antidote dart at Mordecai, waking him back up, then firing knockout darts at Tobias, as he does the same. Meanwhile, Dr. Dome's hovercraft reaches the Weather Control Booth, where he jumps out and pushes the weather controller off the booth, making him fall down by a long way)
Controller: I thought I was doing a good job!!
(Dr. Dome takes matters into his own hands and presses a button marked "Rain and Lightning", causing multiple rain clouds to turn around and strike lightning at the dome-cycles. Pam is now awake again, and both Tobias and herself are engaged in a dart war against Mordecai and Rigby. Pops, Skips, Hi Five Ghost and Muscle Man are hanging onto their drones for dear life. Benson then whistles to summon Antares, who flies up to him and sits on his arm. Benson then communicates with him by impersonating a bird. Antares squawks and flies towards Tobias & Pam's hovercraft and flies around their heads, distracting them and making them scream. Benson then fires an explosive dart at the hovercraft's engine, causing it to fall to the ground. Antares flies away)
Benson: (squawks, translated as the following) Thank you, Antares, for teaching me the ways of the forest.
Antares: (squawks, translated as the following) It is I who should be thanking you, Benson, for you taught me that being alone doesn't mean that one must be lonely. Farewell!
(Benson salutes to Antares then shouts up to Pops, Skips, Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost)
Benson: Press the moon button on your drones!
(The guys all presses the buttons on the front of their drones, which brings the drones up to the moon door, along with Mordecai and Rigby on the dome-cycle, given their attachment. Benson quickly jumps off Trent's dome-cycle and hangs off his own dome-cycle)
Mordecai: (weakly) We're almost out!
(Dr. Dome groans and presses a button marked "Close Moon Door", which slowly brings the moon door shut)
Muscle Man: We can still make it, bros!
(Dr. Dome then presses a button marked "Quickly Close Moon Door", which immediately shuts the moon door. Everyone groans)
Dr. Dome: You are our test subjects! You cannot escape the dome! Even if you blow that thing open, you you would never be able to fit. You would have to blow that thing like, really really wide open!
(Benson gasps and takes out his last explosive arrow)
Benson: I'm gonna blow this thing wide open...
(Benson fires the arrow at the moon door, creating a massive explosion and a giant hole for the guys to fit through)
Dr. Dome: No! Dome you see!? This is bigger than you! This is bigger than all of us!
(Benson throws his bow at Dr. Dome, but it just misses him)
Dr. Dome: (laughs) You missed me!
Benson: Did I?
(The park guys fly out of the dome through the hole)
Dr. Dome: What?
(Dr. Dome notices that the bow pierced, and therefore pressed, a button marked "Aim Ice Storm at Weather Control Booth". Dr. Dome panics as he sees multiple clouds surrounding the booth)
Dr. Dome: Dome it all to hole!
(The clouds blast ice rays at the control booth, instantly freezing Dr. Dome on the weather booth forever. Meanwhile, Mordecai, Rigby, Benson, Pops, Skips, Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost are sliding down the outside of the dome, finally escaping. They take deep breaths as they suddenly see that they are now surrounded by more scientists in vans and even tanks)
Muscle Man: It's the final frontier!
Benson: There may be another layer of dome around this one! Everybody, weapon up!
(Benson pulls out a machete as everyone else pulls out a knife. Skips pulls out a sword. A tank rolls up to the dome, and its entrance opens up to reveal Mr. Maellard inside)
Mr. Maellard: Congratulations!
Benson: Maellard?
Mr. Maellard: You finished the experiment! But just barely...if you'd escaped even a minute sooner, we'd have had to start all over again.
Mordecai: So the plan was to trap us in there with no warning all along?
Mr. Maellard: I suppose there's no harm in admitting now that...yes, I played you for fools, and won.
Rigby: But why!?
Mr. Maellard: I'm afraid I can't divulge the goal of the experiment.
Benson: No, Maellard.
(Benson jumps onto the tank)
Benson: You tell us what this was all for! You tell us right now, tell us!!
(Benson swings the machete back, ready to strike Mr. Maellard. He gives a battle cry)
Mr. Maellard: Alright! The experiment was a test to see how the park and its employees would do in a zombie apocalypse.
Mordecai: A zombie apocalypse? Seriously?
Rigby: That's too cool to be true.
Skips: He thinks he can still play us for fools!
Hi Five Ghost: He doesn't understand how much we've all grown from this experience.
Benson: The truth this time, Maellard. You owe us the truth!
Mr. Maellard: I told you the truth!
Pops: Papa, please!
Mr. Maellard: Eh, fine. I just felt like buying a big dome to put on the park, because I'm rich!
Skips: Finally, an honest answer.
Muscle Man: I'd probably have done two domes. You know, so it would look like a huge butt?
Mr. Maellard: Well, back to my mansion.
(Mr. Maellard makes his way back inside the tank, but is stopped by Benson)
Benson: You're not done here, Maellard. The email, admit to everyone that you changed the date!
Mr. Maellard: Yeah, I changed the date.
Benson: So, I was right, everyone!
(Benson jumps down from the tank and laughs. The scientist vans and tanks all drive away)
Benson: I was right!
