What would happen if Ben's parents found out about his anti-DNAlien exploits and Omnitrix adventures? He's about to find out.

>> BEN TENNYSON IS NOT A GOOD
BOY.
HE'S A GREAT BOY!
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BAD KARMA
TO PAT OURSELVES ON THE BACK,
SANDRA, BUT WE'VE DONE A PRETTY
GOOD JOB AS PARENTS.
>> WELL, WE HAVEN'T STIFLED HIM.

OH, MAN!
>> Ben: WHAT?

THAT HIGHBREED GAVE YOU A BLACK
EYE.
I LIKE HIM BETTER ALREADY.

>> Ben: I'M FINE.
I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE
HIGHBREED WENT AND WHAT HE'S UP
TO.

>> Ben: THE WATERFRONT.
>> Gwen: AND HE LOOKED LIKE A
MAN ON A MISSION.
>> Ben: WE'LL MEET AT THE WHARF

INCHES HIGHER, YOU COULD HAVE
PUT YOUR EYE OUT!
>> Ben: FINE!
I ADMIT IT.
I GOT IN A L-LITTLE FIGHT.
IT'S NO BIG DEAL.
THERE WAS THIS JERK AT SCHOOL,
AND...
>> BEN, ARE YOU SURE IT WAS A
KID AT SCHOOL AND NOT A GIANT
ALIEN CREATURE?
>> I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
YOU LOOK US STRAIGHT IN THE EYE
AND LIE TO US OVER AND OVER
AGAIN.
>> WE SAW YOU, BEN!
WE SAW YOU TURN INTO THAT THING!
>> Ben: NO.
YOU JUST THINKYOU SAW.
I CAN EXPLAIN.
>> REALLY?
>> Ben: N-NOT SO MUCH, NO.
...WHICH ALLOWS ME TO ACCESS THE
GENETIC CODE OF VARIOUS
EXTRATERRESTRIAL FORMS IN ORDER
TO BATTLE THE DNAliens, WHO WILL
STOP AT NOTHING IN THEIR QUEST
TO TAKE OVER THE EARTH!
>> AND THIS BECAME YOUR JOB
WHEN, EXACTLY?
>> Ben: FIVE YEARS AGO.
GRANDPA MAX SAID WE EACH HAVE A
RESPONSIBILITY TO --
>> OH, OF COURSE!
DAD. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.
THAT'S SO TYPICAL!
>> Ben: HE WAS MORE THAN JUST A
PLUMBER.
HE --
>> ...LIED TO US!
YOUR UNCLE FRANK AND I KNEW HE
HAD SOME OTHER LIFE -- WE
KNEW -- AND THAT HE LIED TO US
ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME!
I WON'T HAVE YOU LYING, TOO!
>> IT'S OUR OWN FAULT.
WE WERE TOO PERMISSIVE.
AND WHAT DID WE GET?
A 15-YEAR-OLD SON NEEDLESSLY
RISKING HIS LIFE!
>> Ben: NOT NEEDLESSLY, MOM.
IT HAS TO BE ME.
THE OMNITRIX IS ATTACHED TO ME.
IT DOESN'T COME OFF.
>> OH, IT'S COMING OFF, ALL
RIGHT.
[ SAWING ]
[ SCRAPE ]
[ WHOOSH ]
[ CLICK ]
[ CREAKING ]
[ CLANG ]
OKAY, IT'S NOT COMING OFF.

FREIGHTERS AS FREQUENT VISITORS
BRINGING IN GOODS AND SHIPPING
OUT LOCAL PRODUCTS.
>> Kevin: SO?
>> Gwen: SO, THIS SHIP, THE
EUSTACIA VYE,IS AN
UNREGISTERED TANKER FROM THE
TINY ISLAND OF CASTOON.
>> Kevin: WHERE THEY USED TO DO
NUCLEAR TESTING.
IT WAS ON THE HISTORICAL
CHANNEL.
>> Gwen: WHAT WOULD BELLWOOD BE
IMPORTING FROM CASTOON?
AND IF IT IS CONNECTED TO THE
HIGHBREED, WHAT WOULD THE ALIENS
WANT WITH IT?

[ DNAliens SNARLING ]
>> Kevin: [ GRUNTS ]
[ CELLPHONE RINGING ]
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
>> Ben: YEAH?

YOU, BUT WE GOT A PROBLEM!
>> Ben: YOU'VE GOT PROBLEMS?
MY PARENTS FOUND OUT ABOUT THE
OMNITRIX.
I'M NOT ALLOWED TO USE IT.
>> Kevin: Folks mad at you, huh?
Sounds rough.
By the way, we're getting it
handed to us by the DNAliens!
>> Ben: OKAY. I'M COMING.
I'VE GOT TO GO HELP GWEN WITH AN
AFTER-SCHOOL PROJECT.
>> AND IT'S HOMEWORK?

SAY.
>> WELL, I DO.
BENJAMIN TENNYSON, YOU ARE
GROUNDED!
>> Echo Echo: WHAT?
YOU CAN'T GROUND ME!
I'M A SUPERPOWERED ALIEN!
>> YOU'RE A SUPERPOWERED ALIEN
WHO'S ABOUT FIVE MINUTES FROM
FORCING ME TO RECONSIDER A
LIFELONG DISBELIEF IN CORPORAL
PUNISHMENT.
>> UP THE STAIRS, YOUNG MAN!

[ SWITCH CLICKS ]
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

WE HAVE A LITTLE SITUATION HERE!
>> Kevin: AND A LOT OF DNAliens.
>> Echo Echo: OKAY.
AIM THE PHONE AT THEM.
[ SHRIEKS ]
>> WHO IS THIS?
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
>> Gwen: LATELY, IT SEEMS LIKE
BEN'S JUST PHONING IT IN.
>> Ben: THAT'S MY PHONE!
>> A CELLPHONE IS A PRIVILEGE,
NOT A RIGHT.
YOU'LL GET IT BACK WHEN YOU'VE
PROVEN WE CAN TRUST YOU.
>> BEN, ARE YOU HANGING OUT WITH
A BAD CROWD?
>> Ben: WHAT?! NO!
>> ARE THEY TELLING YOU IT'S
"COOL" TO SNEAK OUT, TURN INTO
ALIENS, LIE TO YOUR PARENTS?
>> I WANT TO KNOW WHO THIS BAD
INFLUENCE IS.
THEIR PARENTS NEED TO KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON.
WHO?
>> Ben: IT'S A SACRED TRUST.
I CANNOT DIVULGE THAT
INFORMATION.
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
[ TELEPHONE BEEPS ]
>> Ben: HELLO?
>> Gwen: YOU RATTED ME OUT?!
>> Ben: I CAN EXPLAIN!
>> Gwen: WHAT'S TO EXPLAIN?
MY PARENTS READ ME THE RIOT ACT
WHEN I GOT HOME LAST NIGHT.
"HOW DARE YOU HELP BEN DECEIVE
YOUR AUNT AND UNCLE, YOUNG
LADY?"
WHY DID YOU TELL THEM?
You've gone nose to nose with
Vilgax without blinking!
>> Ben: VILGAX NEVER GAVE ME THE
MOM LOOK.
SORRY.
>> Gwen: YOU'RE SORRY, AND I'M
GROUNDED -- STUCK HERE IN THE
HOUSE INSTEAD OF FINDING OUT
WHAT THE HIGHBREED WANTS WITH
THAT FREIGHTER.
>> Ben: DON'T WORRY.
KEVIN'S ON IT.
HE'S GOING TO CHECK IT OUT
TONIGHT.
>> Gwen: WHA--
You sent Kevin?
>> Ben: OKAY. I'VE GOT TO GO.
[ TELEPHONE BEEPS ]
[ CLANG ]
>> Kevin: [ SNIFFS ]
UGH, WHAT STINKS IN HERE?
I GUESS THAT'S FOR GWEN TO FIND
OUT.
[ GRUNTS ]
[ GASPS ]
[ GROANS ]
IT SMELLS EVEN WORSE UP CLOSE.
[ GRUNTS ]
[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]
HELLO? TENNYSON RESIDENCE.
THIS ISN'T A GOOD TIME, KEVIN.
>> Kevin: You're telling me.
I'm up to my nose in smelly goo,
trapped in a vat, and DNAliens
are coming!
>> Ben: I'M CONFERENCING GWEN
IN.
[ TELEPHONE BEEPS ]
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
>> Gwen: HELLO?
>> Kevin: I can't get a grip on
the wall.
Uh-oh. Company.
>> Gwen: KEVIN? IS THAT YOU?
>> Kevin: [ GRUNTS ]
>> Ben: ABSORB SOMETHING AND
BUST OUT OF THE TANK.
>> Kevin: Absorb what?
Stink?
>> Ben: WHAT'S YOUR PHONE MADE
OF?
>> Kevin: TITANIUM. WHY?
OH.
>> BEN, YOU'RE ON PUNISHMENT!
GET OFF THE PHONE!
>> Ben: ONE MINUTE, DAD.
>> Gwen: GUYS, I THINK I KNOW
WHAT KEVIN'S SWIMMING IN.
ACCORDING TO WIFIPEDIA, CASTOON
HAS ONLY ONE EXPORT -- BAT
GUANO.
[ BOOM! ]
>> Kevin: WHAT IS GUANO?
>> Gwen: EVIDENTLY, THE BERRIES
ON THE ISLAND ARE RADIOACTIVE
FROM THE NUKE TESTING YEARS AGO.
When they're eaten by the bats,
the resulting waste is the
rarest isotope in the world.
>> Kevin: Ugh!
>> BEN?
>> Ben: ONE MINUTE.
>> Gwen: The radiation is so
mild, however, it would take a
lot of it to constitute a
threat.
>> Ben: GWEN, HOW MUCH CAN THAT
FREIGHTER CARRY?
>> Gwen: 50,000 TONS.
>> Kevin: Guys, I could use a
little help.
[ Dial tone ]
>> "NO PHONE" MEANS "NO PHONE"!
GO TO YOUR ROOM!
>> Ben: I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS
HAPPENING!
[ COMPUTER BEEPING ]
OH, HEY.
YOU FOUND A WIRELESS NETWORK.
>> Kevin: Yeah.
That is the good news.
The bad news...
[ DNAliens snarling ]
...they're not happy about it.
>> Ben: LADDER AHEAD ON YOUR
RIGHT.
CLIMB IT.
OKAY, THE HATCH ON YOUR LEFT --
GO THROUGH IT AND HUG THE WALL.
NOW JUST HANG THERE FOR A SECOND
TILL THEY PASS.
[ DNAliens snarling ]
BACK THROUGH AND SHUT THE HATCH.
[ Clang ]
>> Kevin: I get it. I get it.
You got a real future as a
personal-navigation device,
Tennyson.
Why don't --
Whoops. Here come some more.
[ DNAliens snarling ]
>> Ben: THERE'S A CRANE HOOK
RIGHT THERE.
>> Kevin: What about it?
>> Ben: GRAB IT, THEN KICK THE
GREEN BUTTON!
[ Chain jingles, whirring ]
>> Kevin: Whoa!
[ Chain jingles ]
Okay. That was pretty cool.
I should roll solo more often.
>> Ben: WHATEVER.
JUST GET OUT OF THERE, AND
WE'LL --
>> Kevin: What's wrong?
>> Ben: KEVIN, DON'T PANIC.
EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.
JUST --
>> Kevin: [ Grunts ]
>> Nice to see you again,
vermin.
>> Kevin: Ben, a little help
here.
[ COMPUTER BEEPS ]
>> Ben: DAD, NO!
>> OH, DON'T YOU "NO" ME,
BEN TENNYSON!
YOU HAVE DEFIED US FOR THE LAST
TIME.
>> Ben: YOU'VE GOT TO LISTEN!
MY FRIEND IS IN TROUBLE!
I'VE GOT TO GO HELP HIM!
>> I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER
WORD.
YOU ARE NOT LEAVING THIS ROOM.
YOU ARE NOT CALLING ANYONE, YOU
ARE NOT I.M.'ing ANYONE, YOU ARE
NOT TEXTING ANYONE, YOU ARE NOT
MyFacing ANYONE.
>> Ben: MyFacing?
>> YOU WILL SIT HERE ALONE UNTIL
WE TELL YOU OTHERWISE!
UNDERSTOOD?
>> Ben: YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THIS IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND
DEATH!
>> THEY ONLY LIFE WE'RE
CONCERNED ABOUT IS YOURS.
YOU'RE STAYING RIGHT HERE.
>> DON'T LOOK OUT THERE.
LOOK AT US.
>> Ben: I'M SORRY.
I LOVE YOU GUYS.
YOU'RE AWESOME PARENTS.
YOU RAISED ME BY EXAMPLE.
AND TIME AFTER TIME, I'VE SEEN
YOU PUT OTHER PEOPLE'S NEEDS
FIRST.
I CAN'T OBEY YOU NOW WITHOUT
DISOBEYING EVERYTHING YOU'VE
EVER TAUGHT ME ABOUT LIFE, THE
WORLD, AND RESPONSIBILITY.
>> BEN, WE FORBID YOU TO --
>> Ben: SO, WHEN I GET BACK,
PUNISH ME HOWEVER YOU WANT.
BUT RIGHT NOW, I HAVE A FRIEND
WHO'S IN TROUBLE.
[ BEEP ]
>> Humongousaur: HUMONGOUSAUR!
[ GRUNTS ]
SORRY!
I'LL FIX THAT LATER!
>> HE JUST WALKED OUT ON US.
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
>> WE'RE GOING TO LISTEN TO OUR
SON.
>> Humongousaur: YOU GUYS PICKED
THE WRONG HUMONGOUSAUR TO GANG
UP ON.
I'M HAVING A BAD NIGHT.
>> Kevin: THIS STINKS.
>> YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST TO
TASTE DEFEAT AT OUR HANDS, NOR
WILL YOU BE THE LAST.
>> Kevin: NO.
I MEAN THE BAT POOP.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU EAT THAT
STUFF.
>> WE DO NOT EAT IT, HUMAN.
>> Kevin: SURE YOU DO.
WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU DO WITH IT?
>> TENNYSON HAS TRAINED YOU
WELL, BUT YOUR PATHETIC ATTEMPT
TO LEARN OUR PLANS SUCCEEDED
ONLY IN REMINDING ME OF THE NEED
TO DISPOSE OF YOU.
[ GRUNTS ]
>> Humongousaur: OH, THAT ONE
WAS A LITTLE HIGH AND INSIDE.
>> Kevin: I THOUGHT YOU GOT SENT
TO YOUR ROOM WITHOUT SUPPER.
>> Humongousaur: ENJOY ME WHILE
YOU CAN.
I'M GONNA BE GROUNDED FOR THE
REST OF HIGH SCHOOL.
[ GRUNTS ]
>> Kevin: I WAS JUST GETTING HIM
TO SPILL HIS GUTS ABOUT HIS
PLANS FOR THE BAT POOP.
>> Humongousaur: THE DNAliens
DOWN THERE ARE RENDERING IT,
REMOVING THE IMPURITIES UNTIL
THEY'RE LEFT WITH A HIGHLY
VOLATILE ISOTOPE, SUITABLE FOR
USE AS A POWER SOURCE.
>> Kevin: YOU FIGURED ALL THAT
OUT BY YOURSELF?
>> Humongousaur: GWEN.
QUESTION IS -- POWER SOURCE FOR
WHAT?
>> IT'S A SURPRISE.
THE FINAL SURPRISE FOR THE HUMAN
RACE!
DESTROY THEM!
>> Humongousaur: HOLD ON.
TRY THE CABLE.
>> Kevin: COOL.
>> Humongousaur: [ GRUNTING ]
>> Kevin: [ GRUNTING ]
>> Humongousaur: HANDLE THE
REST.
>> Kevin: DO YOUR THING.
MIGHT WANT TO PUT A LITTLE SIZE
ON.
>> Humongousaur: NO...ROOM...
IN HERE.
>> YOU LOOK FATIGUED, VERMIN.
LET ME HELP PUT YOU TO REST,
PERMANENTLY.
>> Kevin: [ GRUNTS ]
BEN!
>> CONGRATULATIONS.
THAT WAS ALMOST EXERCISE.
GOODBYE, BEN TENNYSON.
[ ALARM BEEPING ]
>> GOOD SHOT, HONEY.
>> LIKE MY DAD ALWAYS SAID --
THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE RIGHT
JOB.
>> BEN, ARE YOU OKAY?
>> Humongousaur: MOM, DAD -- AM
I GLAD TO SEE YOU.
I MEAN, I'M ALWAYS GLAD TO SEE
YOU, BUT...
>> Kevin: UH, EXCUSE ME.
>> YOU'RE HIS RUFFIAN FRIEND,
RIGHT?
>> I'VE GOT IT COVERED, DEAR.
>> Kevin: WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!
WHOA!
[ DNAliens snarling ]
THANKS.
UH, NICE PIECE, BY THE WAY.
>> Humongousaur: YEAH, DAD.
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?
>> WHAT? THIS OLD THING?
IT'S BEEN SITTING IN THE ATTIC
EVER SINCE FRANK AND I WERE
KIDS.
ALWAYS HATED IT.
>> ARE YOU OKAY, BEN?
>> Humongousaur: FINE, MOM.
I'M SORRY I JUST BLEW YOU OFF
LIKE THAT.
>> Kevin: I'M NOT.
I MEAN, IT'S ACTUALLY KIND OF
COOL THAT YOU SHOWED UP WHEN YOU
DID.
>> IT WAS VERY COOL.
WE'RE PROUD OF YOU.
YOUR FRIEND WAS IN DANGER.
YOU HAD TO HELP HIM.
>> HIS FRIEND?
YOU HEARD THAT MONSTER, HONEY.
THE WHOLE WORLD WAS IN DANGER!
BEN SAVED IT.
>> Kevin: I HELPED.
>> THE POINT IS, SON, WE'VE SEEN
YOU IN ACTION.
WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE CAPABLE OF.
CLEARLY, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
DOING.
>> YOU WOULD HAVE FOUND A WAY TO
WIN EVEN IF YOUR FATHER HADN'T
SHOT THE GIANT ALIEN WITH THE
SPACE BAZOOKA.
[ CLICK ]
>> [ LAUGHS EVILLY ]
[ GRUNTS ]
>> Humongousaur: ONE SEC.
NICE.
>> Kevin: OKAY. I SUNK IT.
>> Ben: HEY, WHAT ABOUT THE
HIGHBREED?
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DRAG HIM
OFF THE SHIP BEFORE YOU SCUTTLED
IT.
>> Kevin: WAS I?
MUST HAVE SLIPPED MY MIND.
KIDDING!
HE WAS GONE BEFORE I GOT BACK.
>> Ben: YOU'RE RIGHT, MOM --
HE'S A RUFFIAN.
I THOUGHT YOU HATED THAT THING.
>> YEAH.
I USED TO HATE ALL OF THAT
PLUMBER STUFF.
IT REMINDED ME OF THE SECRET
LIFE YOUR GRANDPA MAX HID FROM
US.
BUT NOW I UNDERSTAND, HE WAS
ONLY PROTECTING US.
[ CELLPHONE RINGING ]
>> IT'S YOUR COUSIN.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
>> Ben: WHAT'S UP?
OKAY.
HAVE TO CALL YOU BACK.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
SO, THERE'S BEEN AN ALIEN
SIGHTING IN THE DESERT THAT --
>> THEN WHAT ARE YOU WAITING
FOR?
[ DOOR OPENS ]
>> IT'S COLD IN THE DESERT AT
NIGHT!
BRING A JACKET!
>> BEN TENNYSON IS NOT A GOOD
BOY.
HE'S A GREAT BOY!
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BAD KARMA
TO PAT OURSELVES ON THE BACK,
SANDRA, BUT WE'VE DONE A PRETTY
GOOD JOB AS PARENTS.

KEVIN'S ON IT.
HE'S GOING TO CHECK IT OUT
TONIGHT.
>> Gwen: WHA--
You sent Kevin?
>> Ben: OKAY. I'VE GOT TO GO.
[ TELEPHONE BEEPS ]
[ CLANG ]
>> Kevin: [ SNIFFS ]
UGH, WHAT STINKS IN HERE?
I GUESS THAT'S FOR GWEN TO FIND
OUT.
[ GRUNTS ]
[ GASPS ]
[ GROANS ]
IT SMELLS EVEN WORSE UP CLOSE.
[ GRUNTS ]
[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]
HELLO? TENNYSON RESIDENCE.
THIS ISN'T A GOOD TIME, KEVIN.
>> Kevin: You're telling me.
I'm up to my nose in smelly goo,
trapped in a vat, and DNAliens
are coming!
>> Ben: I'M CONFERENCING GWEN
IN.
[ TELEPHONE BEEPS ]
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
>> Gwen: HELLO?
>> Kevin: I can't get a grip on
the wall.
Uh-oh. Company.
>> Gwen: KEVIN? IS THAT YOU?
>> Kevin: [ GRUNTS ]
>> Ben: ABSORB SOMETHING AND
BUST OUT OF THE TANK.
>> Kevin: Absorb what?
Stink?
>> Ben: WHAT'S YOUR PHONE MADE
OF?
>> Kevin: TITANIUM. WHY?
OH.
>> BEN, YOU'RE ON PUNISHMENT!
GET OFF THE PHONE!
>> Ben: ONE MINUTE, DAD.
>> Gwen: GUYS, I THINK I KNOW
WHAT KEVIN'S SWIMMING IN.
ACCORDING TO WIFIPEDIA, CASTOON
HAS ONLY ONE EXPORT -- BAT
GUANO.
[ BOOM! ]
>> Kevin: WHAT IS GUANO?
>> Gwen: EVIDENTLY, THE BERRIES
ON THE ISLAND ARE RADIOACTIVE
FROM THE NUKE TESTING YEARS AGO.
When they're eaten by the bats,
the resulting waste is the
rarest isotope in the world.
>> Kevin: Ugh!
>> BEN?
>> Ben: ONE MINUTE.
>> Gwen: The radiation is so
mild, however, it would take a
lot of it to constitute a
threat.
>> Ben: GWEN, HOW MUCH CAN THAT
FREIGHTER CARRY?
>> Gwen: 50,000 TONS.
>> Kevin: Guys, I could use a
little help.
[ Dial tone ]
>> "NO PHONE" MEANS "NO PHONE"!
GO TO YOUR ROOM!
>> Ben: I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS
HAPPENING!
[ COMPUTER BEEPING ]
OH, HEY.
YOU FOUND A WIRELESS NETWORK.
>> Kevin: Yeah.
That is the good news.
The bad news...
[ DNAliens snarling ]
...they're not happy about it.
>> Ben: LADDER AHEAD ON YOUR
RIGHT.
CLIMB IT.
OKAY, THE HATCH ON YOUR LEFT --
GO THROUGH IT AND HUG THE WALL.
NOW JUST HANG THERE FOR A SECOND
TILL THEY PASS.
[ DNAliens snarling ]
BACK THROUGH AND SHUT THE HATCH.
[ Clang ]
>> Kevin: I get it. I get it.
You got a real future as a
personal-navigation device,
Tennyson.
Why don't --
Whoops. Here come some more.
[ DNAliens snarling ]
>> Ben: THERE'S A CRANE HOOK
RIGHT THERE.
>> Kevin: What about it?
>> Ben: GRAB IT, THEN KICK THE
GREEN BUTTON!
[ Chain jingles, whirring ]
>> Kevin: Whoa!
[ Chain jingles ]
Okay. That was pretty cool.
I should roll solo more often.
>> Ben: WHATEVER.
JUST GET OUT OF THERE, AND
WE'LL --
>> Kevin: What's wrong?
>> Ben: KEVIN, DON'T PANIC.
EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.
JUST --
>> Kevin: [ Grunts ]
>> Nice to see you again,
vermin.
>> Kevin: Ben, a little help
here.
[ COMPUTER BEEPS ]
>> Ben: DAD, NO!
>> OH, DON'T YOU "NO" ME,
BEN TENNYSON!
YOU HAVE DEFIED US FOR THE LAST
TIME.
>> Ben: YOU'VE GOT TO LISTEN!
MY FRIEND IS IN TROUBLE!
I'VE GOT TO GO HELP HIM!
>> I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER
WORD.
YOU ARE NOT LEAVING THIS ROOM.
YOU ARE NOT CALLING ANYONE, YOU
ARE NOT I.M.'ing ANYONE, YOU ARE
NOT TEXTING ANYONE, YOU ARE NOT
MyFacing ANYONE.
>> Ben: MyFacing?
>> YOU WILL SIT HERE ALONE UNTIL
WE TELL YOU OTHERWISE!
UNDERSTOOD?
>> Ben: YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THIS IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND
DEATH!
>> THEY ONLY LIFE WE'RE
CONCERNED ABOUT IS YOURS.
YOU'RE STAYING RIGHT HERE.
>> DON'T LOOK OUT THERE.
LOOK AT US.
>> Ben: I'M SORRY.
I LOVE YOU GUYS.
YOU'RE AWESOME PARENTS.
YOU RAISED ME BY EXAMPLE.
AND TIME AFTER TIME, I'VE SEEN
YOU PUT OTHER PEOPLE'S NEEDS
FIRST.
I CAN'T OBEY YOU NOW WITHOUT
DISOBEYING EVERYTHING YOU'VE
EVER TAUGHT ME ABOUT LIFE, THE
WORLD, AND RESPONSIBILITY.
>> BEN, WE FORBID YOU TO --
>> Ben: SO, WHEN I GET BACK,
PUNISH ME HOWEVER YOU WANT.
BUT RIGHT NOW, I HAVE A FRIEND
WHO'S IN TROUBLE.
[ BEEP ]
>> Humongousaur: HUMONGOUSAUR!
[ GRUNTS ]
SORRY!
I'LL FIX THAT LATER!
>> HE JUST WALKED OUT ON US.
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
>> WE'RE GOING TO LISTEN TO OUR
SON.
>> Humongousaur: YOU GUYS PICKED
THE WRONG HUMONGOUSAUR TO GANG
UP ON.
I'M HAVING A BAD NIGHT.
>> Kevin: THIS STINKS.
>> YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST TO
TASTE DEFEAT AT OUR HANDS, NOR
WILL YOU BE THE LAST.
>> Kevin: NO.
I MEAN THE BAT POOP.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU EAT THAT
STUFF.
>> WE DO NOT EAT IT, HUMAN.
>> Kevin: SURE YOU DO.
WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU DO WITH IT?
>> TENNYSON HAS TRAINED YOU
WELL, BUT YOUR PATHETIC ATTEMPT
TO LEARN OUR PLANS SUCCEEDED
ONLY IN REMINDING ME OF THE NEED
TO DISPOSE OF YOU.
[ GRUNTS ]
>> Humongousaur: OH, THAT ONE
WAS A LITTLE HIGH AND INSIDE.
>> Kevin: I THOUGHT YOU GOT SENT
TO YOUR ROOM WITHOUT SUPPER.
>> Humongousaur: ENJOY ME WHILE
YOU CAN.
I'M GONNA BE GROUNDED FOR THE
REST OF HIGH SCHOOL.
[ GRUNTS ]
>> Kevin: I WAS JUST GETTING HIM
TO SPILL HIS GUTS ABOUT HIS
PLANS FOR THE BAT POOP.
>> Humongousaur: THE DNAliens
DOWN THERE ARE RENDERING IT,
REMOVING THE IMPURITIES UNTIL
THEY'RE LEFT WITH A HIGHLY
VOLATILE ISOTOPE, SUITABLE FOR
USE AS A POWER SOURCE.
>> Kevin: YOU FIGURED ALL THAT
OUT BY YOURSELF?
>> Humongousaur: GWEN.
QUESTION IS -- POWER SOURCE FOR
WHAT?
>> IT'S A SURPRISE.
THE FINAL SURPRISE FOR THE HUMAN
RACE!
DESTROY THEM!
>> Humongousaur: HOLD ON.
TRY THE CABLE.
>> Kevin: COOL.
>> Humongousaur: [ GRUNTING ]
>> Kevin: [ GRUNTING ]
>> Humongousaur: HANDLE THE
REST.
>> Kevin: DO YOUR THING.
MIGHT WANT TO PUT A LITTLE SIZE
ON.
>> Humongousaur: NO...ROOM...
IN HERE.
>> YOU LOOK FATIGUED, VERMIN.
LET ME HELP PUT YOU TO REST,
PERMANENTLY.
>> Kevin: [ GRUNTS ]
BEN!
>> CONGRATULATIONS.
THAT WAS ALMOST EXERCISE.
GOODBYE, BEN TENNYSON.
[ ALARM BEEPING ]
>> GOOD SHOT, HONEY.
>> LIKE MY DAD ALWAYS SAID --
THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE RIGHT
JOB.
>> BEN, ARE YOU OKAY?
>> Humongousaur: MOM, DAD -- AM
I GLAD TO SEE YOU.
I MEAN, I'M ALWAYS GLAD TO SEE
YOU, BUT...
>> Kevin: UH, EXCUSE ME.
>> YOU'RE HIS RUFFIAN FRIEND,
RIGHT?
>> I'VE GOT IT COVERED, DEAR.
>> Kevin: WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!
WHOA!
[ DNAliens snarling ]
THANKS.
UH, NICE PIECE, BY THE WAY.
>> Humongousaur: YEAH, DAD.
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?
>> WHAT? THIS OLD THING?
IT'S BEEN SITTING IN THE ATTIC
EVER SINCE FRANK AND I WERE
KIDS.
ALWAYS HATED IT.
>> ARE YOU OKAY, BEN?
>> Humongousaur: FINE, MOM.
I'M SORRY I JUST BLEW YOU OFF
LIKE THAT.
>> Kevin: I'M NOT.
I MEAN, IT'S ACTUALLY KIND OF
COOL THAT YOU SHOWED UP WHEN YOU
DID.
>> IT WAS VERY COOL.
WE'RE PROUD OF YOU.
YOUR FRIEND WAS IN DANGER.
YOU HAD TO HELP HIM.
>> HIS FRIEND?
YOU HEARD THAT MONSTER, HONEY.
THE WHOLE WORLD WAS IN DANGER!
BEN SAVED IT.
>> Kevin: I HELPED.
>> THE POINT IS, SON, WE'VE SEEN
YOU IN ACTION.
WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE CAPABLE OF.
CLEARLY, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
DOING.
>> YOU WOULD HAVE FOUND A WAY TO
WIN EVEN IF YOUR FATHER HADN'T
SHOT THE GIANT ALIEN WITH THE
SPACE BAZOOKA.
[ CLICK ]
>> [ LAUGHS EVILLY ]
[ GRUNTS ]
>> Humongousaur: ONE SEC.
NICE.
>> Kevin: OKAY. I SUNK IT.
>> Ben: HEY, WHAT ABOUT THE
HIGHBREED?
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DRAG HIM
OFF THE SHIP BEFORE YOU SCUTTLED
IT.
>> Kevin: WAS I?
MUST HAVE SLIPPED MY MIND.
KIDDING!
HE WAS GONE BEFORE I GOT BACK.
>> Ben: YOU'RE RIGHT, MOM --
HE'S A RUFFIAN.
I THOUGHT YOU HATED THAT THING.
>> YEAH.
I USED TO HATE ALL OF THAT
PLUMBER STUFF.
IT REMINDED ME OF THE SECRET
LIFE YOUR GRANDPA MAX HID FROM
US.
BUT NOW I UNDERSTAND, HE WAS
ONLY PROTECTING US.
[ CELLPHONE RINGING ]
>> IT'S YOUR COUSIN.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
>> Ben: WHAT'S UP?
OKAY.
HAVE TO CALL YOU BACK.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
SO, THERE'S BEEN AN ALIEN
SIGHTING IN THE DESERT THAT --
>> THEN WHAT ARE YOU WAITING
FOR?
[ DOOR OPENS ]
>> IT'S COLD IN THE DESERT AT
NIGHT!
BRING A JACKET!
