The Eggman Cometh

Been around forever, but the real story is a lot more interesting. Wish I could remember it. But nobody forgets this wonderful old recipe. You'll need sugar, flour, butter, chocolate chips, and walnuts. But the nuts are strictly optional. My nephew's face once blew up like a beach ball because he kissed a girl who'd just eaten a peanut butter sandwich. Wait! I forgot the eggs, didn't I? Nature's most perfect food. No That's milk. Except milk won't give you fiber. My doctor's always telling me if I don't get more fiber, I won't be able to Gwen: Mom! What is it, honey? Gwen: Can I use your car? I'm going over to Kevin's. Okay. But don't eat any peanut butter sandwiches. [ Rattling ] or you could use margarine if you need to cut your calories. [ Radio shuts off ] Kevin: Aah! [ Tires screech ] [ Weapon cocks ] Fasttrack: Missed again. Now it's turn. Gwen: Kevin? Ben? Kevin: Hold still and fight, Ben. Fasttrack: That was cold, Kevin. Kevin: Could you move about 2 feet to the right? Gwen: What are you doing? Why are you fighting? Fasttrack: We're not fighting. Gwen: Practicing? Kevin: Yeah. How do you think Ben learns how to use his new alien powers? Ben: It's not like there's a users manual. Gwen: Boys Any excuse to hit each other. Kevin: Who do you want to be now, Ben? Ben: That's enough for one day. I'm tired. Kevin: Scared? Ben: Hey, I'm the one who figured out Swampfire and Goop, remember? [ Cellphone rings ] Trust me I can handle anything the Ultimatrix throws at me. Gwen: Mom? W Slow down. Start at the beginning. It was right after you left. I turned back to my mixing bowl, and there it was. Gwen: There whatwas? The thing. Gwen: What thing? Mom? Well It looked like a dragon. Gwen: You saw a dragon? Are you sure? Pretty sure, dear. Gwen: I'll be right there. Kevin: A dragon? Really? Gwen: There are dragons, you know. We've seen them. Kevin: Not in your mom's kitchen. Ben: Uh, guys? Kevin: I mean, what would a dragon want in there Dysentery from her cooking? Ben: Guys! Kevin: What is that A man with wings? Ben: Not feathers, though. Some kind of reptile? Gwen: Or maybedragon? [ Screeches ] [ Tires screech ] Ben: I think Jetray will be a little faster than this. [ Screeches ] [ Tires screech ] [ Beep ] Juryrigg: Juryrigg! Kevin: Wrong alien, Ben. Juryrigg: [ Laughing ] Kevin: Out of there! Get! [ Tires screech ] Gwen: Ben! Control yourself! Kevin: He's taking apart the brakes! What kind of a superpower is that?! Juryrigg: Awesome kind. [ Horn blares ] Gwen: Aah! Juryrigg: Break brakes! Break brakes! Kevin: [ Grunts ] Juryrigg: Unh! [ Beep ] Gwen: Kevin, slow down! Kevin: Got an idea. Duck and cover. [ Grunts ] [ Grunting ] [ Tires screech ] Ben: Now do you see why I don't like to mess around with the new aliens? [ Screeches ] It just appeared behind me. And this is where it went out. Kevin: You're sure? Gwen: There's a 12-foot hole in the wall. - How can you Kevin: - Hey, I believe it exists. I just don't know where it came from. This a good question. Ben: Teleporter? Kevin: Maybe. Gwen: Ben, couldn't one of your new aliens Ben: After what just happened? No. Kevin: Scared? Ben: I'm not scared, just Okay, fine! [ Beep ] Clockwork: Clockwork! What have I told you about doing that in the house? Clockwork: Sorry, Aunt Nathalie. Um, where did you first see the dragon? [ Caws ] [ Speaking backwards ] Gwen: [ Speaking backwards ] Clockwork: Dr. Animo! Dr. Animo: Here at Animo Farms, we pamper our hens so that they'll give you only the finest and freshest eggs. I'm so darn sure you're gonna love 'em, I'm givin' 'em away free all week. So, head on down to your local market and tell them doc Animo sent ya. Bye, now! Cut! Print! No retakes. [ Chicken clucking ] Out of the way, you dumb cluck! [ Chicken squawks ] [ Beeping ] It's too cold in here! Dr. Animo: I know. I know. Dark, too. Dr. Animo: You'll soon have your time in the sun. I promise. You and all the others. We'd like that. Dr. Animo: And so will I. [ Engine clunks ] [ Tires screech ] Kevin: Aw, man! [ Car doors open, close ] Ben: And it came out of an egg A regular egg! And it grew to 10 feet tall in about a minute! Gwen: It broke through my mom's wall! Kevin: Then we saw it out on Route 17, flying. I'll make a report. Ben: A report?! Gwen: You have to do something. Kevin: Go to Animo Farms Now. Hold it. Do you know who Doc Animo is? Gwen: Yes, we know who Dr. Animo is. He's a scientist who does weird experiments with animals. Ben: He was arrested a few weeks ago for attacking a high school with mutant frogs. Kevin: Must have escaped from prison. Wrong. He was paroled. Gwen: Paroled? What kind of a legal system would Oh. Never mind. On paper, the doc's a legitimate businessman. And I'll tell you something else Our steel mill's reopening soon, and if the new owner starts hearing rumors about dragon men, he'll take his money and leave town. You want that? Gwen: Look, sheriff, we saw this thing come out of one of Animo's eggs. Ben: I was Clockwork, and Clockwork? Ben: One of my new aliens. He lets me show people what happened in the past. Anyway, I switched on the ray, and Ben, these aliens of yours, do they have green cards? Ben: How does anyone that dopey get to be sheriff? Gwen: It's an elected office. Ben: I just thought of something. Kevin: You gonna tell us, or do we have to guess? Ben: We have eggs my house. [ Crashing, banging ] [ Dragons cawing ] I'll handle this. [ Beep ] Swampfire: Swampfire! [ Dragons shrieking ] Kevin: [ Grunting ] Got a feeling you picked the wrong alien again. Gwen: Do you want to talk about it? Or do you want to do something? Kevin: [ Groans ] Gwen, send them this way. Gwen: [ Grunting ] [ Beep ] Now the sheriff is gonna have to believe us. Ben: Forget the sheriff. I got this. [ Chickens squawk ] [ Beep ] Did this place look bigger on the outside than it does on the inside? [ Hollow knock ] [ Deep knock ] Gwen: How'd you know? Ben: This must be what Animo uses to put the dragon men inside the eggs. Kevin: That's easy enough to fix. Gwen: Not yet. The more evidence we have against him, the better the chance they'll put him away for good. [ Beeping ] Ben: Check his browser history, Gwen. Gwen: Looks like he's into ecology. He's been following this big weather-balloon experiment that's supposed to fix global CO2 levels. You know, so there won't be any more climate change. Kevin: In his spare time, he's a tree hugger. So what? Gwen: Remember how those dragon men swarmed all over Swampfire? It was because of the heat he generates. They're reptiles Cold-blooded, drawn to heat. Kevin: So? Gwen: If Animo is watching an experiment to end global warming, it's not because he wants it work. He wants it to fail, 'cause it'll be better for his dragon men. Ben: What do you want to bet he's going to try to make it fail? Gwen: The experiment is at dawn tomorrow. Ben: That's, like, now! [ Cellphone rings ] Dr. Animo: What? They'll never get here in time. [ Engine clunking ] Gwen: There it is! That balloon is carrying the experiment into the upper atmosphere. Ben: That the best you can do? Kevin: Until I fix everything juryrigg took apart, yes, this is the best I can do. Ben: You're starting to talk like your girlfriend. Both: Not remotely. [ Beep ] Fasttrack: Fasttrack! Fasttrack: Whoa! Unh! It's going to take us months to redo this experiment, and in the meantime, climate change will only get worse. [ Camera whirs ] Who would do such a thing? Dr. Animo: Yes Who? [ Laughs evilly ] And no question, we owe you big-time for coming in and buying this old factory and putting everybody 'round here back to work. So, with no further ado [ Engine clunking ] [ Tires screeching ] Aw, nuts. [ Engine sputters ] [ Tires screech ] [ Engine rattles ] [ Engine pops, hisses ] [ Car doors open, close ] You're ruining everything! Gwen: Didn't you hear what happened in the desert? Nothing the FBI can't handle. Now go away, unless you want me to bust you for disturbing the peace! All right! Let's get this thing open! [ People screaming ] [ Dragons shrieking ] [ Beep ] Big chill: Big chill! [ Shrieks ] Gwen: Looks like winter's early this year. Dr. Animo: Setbacks are inevitable, my friend, but this one's trivial. In just hours, there'll be too many of you to stop. And then reptiles will regain their former glory as rulers of the planet. You know what I'd like? A name. Dr. Animo: A name. How could I have forgotten? The new ruler certainly deserves a name. How about [ Pounding ] Impossible. Huh. Rolls off the tongue, but [ Pounding continues ] [ Shrieks ] [ Beep ] Juryrigg: Juryrigg! [ Metal clanks, crashes ] Dr. Animo: [ Gasps ] [ Thud ] Go forth, my friends! Be fruitful and Unh! Kevin: How do you stop them?! How?! Dr. Animo: You can't. [ Strained ] Crushing me won't solve your problem. Gwen: Kevin. Step aside. [ Energy pulses ] Hunh! [ Energy pulses ] Dr. Animo: Wait! Wait! There is a way to stop them The ray. If you switch its polarity, it'll reverse the de-evolutionary effect. Gwen: Thatall you have to do? Dr. Animo: Yes! Yes! Ben: Uh, Gwen? Juryrigg kind of took apart the ray. Dr. Animo: [ Laughs ] Gwen: Ben, listen to me. Whatever juryrigg broke, he can fix. Ben: He can? How do you know? Gwen: Breaking things couldn't be his only power. It just couldn't. [ Beep ] Juryrigg: Juryrigg! Fix. Fix. Fix. Fix. Fix. Fix. Fix, fix, fix, fix. - Fix. Fix. Fix Kevin: - You were pretty sure. Gwen: No, I wasn't. The important thing is for Ben to be sure. [ Shrieks ] [ People screaming ] Kevin: Hey, if Animo's old ray caused de-evolution and this one's causing evolution, what are the dragon men evolving into? Gwen: Same thing the dinosaurs evolved into birds. [ Chickens clucking ] Kevin: These were dinosaur men? I thought they all just escaped from the chicken farm. Got another one. See how the Ray's going over the whole town does that mean everything's gonna evolve?
