Regular Show (2009–2017): Season 7, Episode 5 - The Dome Experiment Special - full transcript

Benson is determined to prove he was right about the date of the "Dome Experiment".

[♪♪♪]

And Mordecai

and Rigby,

Let's have you pick up trash

over by the snack bar.

[GROANS]

Again?

Don't worry,

this is the last time

you'll be on trash duty

for a while.



Awesome. We're not getting

another intern, are we?

I don't know if I can handle

another spy situation.

No, I've actually got

some pretty big news

about your

dome-estic situation.

Hopefully it won't cause

too much pan-dome-monium.

"Dome" you have any ideas

about what's going to happen?

No one, huh?

Well, since I have to



spell it out for you,

Maelard's decided to seal off

the park in a dome

to create

a contained ecosystem.

A group of scientists

from the government

are gonna study it

for a month!

Bro, how would we ever

have guessed that?

A whole month?

Where are we supposed to go?

You'll have to move out.

The dome's dropping tomorrow.

Isn't that exciting?

Why aren't you more upset

about the inconvenience?

I don't live at the park.

So we can stay at your place?

[CHUCKLES]

Well...my place,

while officially

a one bedroom--

[WIND WHISTLING]

--feels more like a studio.

So there isn't really

any room--

It's not tomorrow,

it's today!

They're sealing the park today!

Grab your valuables!

[♪♪♪]

[ALL PANTING]

She's gonna seal!

Lighten your loads!

[PANTING, GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS, THEN GROANS]

[♪♪♪]

[SCREAMS]

Live free or die!

[ALL SHOUTING]

It's not fair!

Hey, guys,

let's relax, okay?

Like I said, they're not

sealing the dome till tomorrow.

Are you blind, man?

Can you not see that the dome

has been sealed today?

Calm down.

Look, here comes Maelard now.

I'm sure he'll

clear this whole thing up.

Maelard.

Oh. Okay.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Maelard.

So the test run's looking

pretty successful on our end.

Good fit.

Yep, looks like we're

in good shape for tomorrow.

See?

So you can all--

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Maelard again.

Benson speaking.

Oh, but I don't

get dates wrong.

[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

And the dome is gonna stay where

it is for the next 30 days.

[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

So...

We figured it out.

This isn't fair!

[ALL SHOUTING]

[♪♪♪]

Got the date wrong?

But I'm me, Benson.

Emergency meeting,

my office, now!

BENSON:

So I'm sure you all know

why we're here.

To figure out how to survive

in a dome for a month.

To look at the e-mail

I got from the dome guys

and prove I was right

about the drop date.

[ALL GROAN]

You won't be groaning

when you see this.

[ALL GROAN]

It's okay. I've got

a printed backup version.

That's not

what we're mad about.

You really print

every e-mail?

Yes, I do, for this

exact type of situation.

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.

We don't care.

Is your p-mail gonna feed us

for a month?

I'm scared!

I'm hungry!

Listen, I'm sure

you'll all calm down

when you see-- What the--?

What's this?

You were wrong

about the date.

Now can you please

just help us?

We really need

leadership right now.

No, this isn't right.

It's all wrong.

Do not go into

the bathroom.

The water has been

cut off as well.

[WHIRRING]

Do you hear that?

[ALL MURMURING]

MORDECAI:

What are those things?

HI-FIVE:

They're dropping packages.

SKIPS:

Let's take a look.

Now, wait just one--

Okay.

[DOOR OPENS, SHUTS]

I'll just hang back,

sort this date thing out.

[SIGHS]

I can't believe it.

I-- Was I really wrong?

Wait.

This paper stock...

It has a much finer

tooth than mine.

And it's slightly off-white

to boot.

Hmm.

Oh, what the--?

I can't believe--

The watermarks aren't even

the same font!

They tried

to make a fool out of me.

I've been so blind.

[SCOFFS]

I'm gonna blow

this thing wide open.

[PANTING]

Guys! Wait till you see

this paper stock! Huh?

Cool! Custom jackets

with our names on them.

Hey, those are

pretty sharp.

Excuse me!

If we keep

things rationed,

this should be enough food

for the month.

I don't normally like seeds,

but in the dome--

Those aren't for eating.

They're for planting, dude.

Oh. That explains

why they're unsalted.

Hello? Are you even

listening to me?

We're being actively lied to

about the date!

Sometimes the better man

admits when he's made a mistake.

You guys really

don't believe me.

Your thing is

the least of our problems.

Hey, uh,

so I was thinking,

we should write up a full

inventory of these supplies.

Is that a good idea,

Benson?

Uh, Benson?

Huh? Uh, sure.

You go ahead

with all that.

I got to

go do something.

Okay. Sounds good.

[♪♪♪]

[GRUNTS]

[KEYS JINGLE]

Ah!

[INHALES SHARPLY]

Rolled on my keys.

Aah!

[BUZZES]

Uh, I mean, caw! Caw!

[BEEPS]

Huh?

It vanished.

It was

right in front of me.

Where on earth--?

[GRUNTS]

Whoa. Another dome?

[BIRD SCREECHES]

[SQUAWKS]

I know.

I didn't see it either.

And why is it camouflaged?

Jeez.

Pretty high security.

Something is fishy here.

I want to see

what's going on in there.

Why do they have my picture?

Someone's coming.

[WHIRRING]

Armed guards

and a laser-beam door?

They really don't

want visitors.

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.

I like you, bird.

I think

I'll call you...Antares.

Huh?

[SCREECHES]

Antares, you coward!

Hey...

[GROANS]

What?

How long have I been out?

Judging by my stubble growth,

I'd say 76 hours.

Brr. I'd better

get back to the house.

It's probably pretty dire

over there without me.

Oh, Benson!

You're okay!

We were

worried about you.

I'm fine, Pops.

I just need to call a--

Is that a garden?

Mm-hmm. We ran out of food,

so we're growing our own.

Living off the land has been

quite invigorating.

Huh. Living

off the land, huh?

Looks like you two are really

contributing to the cause.

Actually,

we're on break.

Hey, guys,

I appreciate

you putting in

the hours earlier.

Getting up at dawn

isn't easy,

but those latrines

are looking tip-top.

Hey, no thanks

necessary.

Yeah.

Just happy to do our part.

Is that my clipboard?

Oh, hey, Benson.

Ha, ha.

Yeah, it's funny,

but I suppose

I've kind of become the de facto

leader in your absence.

Everyone's really

coming to their own

as a contributing member

of the dome-munity.

Now that you're back,

I guess you

want this back.

Yeah, sure.

Look, everyone listen.

I have something very important

to show you

pertaining

to my p-mail.

Benson, it's okay.

Nobody cares about that anymore.

Yes, Benson. We've grown

quite fond of the dome.

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.

[GROANS]

Fine.

Let's just

get this over with.

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.

It's okay, Benson.

Come back with us

to the camp,

and we'll set you up a hammock

in the meditation tent.

I don't need

your pity hammocks.

What's going on here?

Why are you being

all weird and supportive?

Did the dome people

get to you?

Benson, chill.

You can trust us.

Stay back!

I trust no one!

Benson, wait!

Let him go.

The dome affects us all

in different ways.

They'll see.

These dome guys

are up to something,

and I'll prove it,

even if it takes me all month.

[♪♪♪]

I'm ready.

♪ Dome, dome-dome, dome, dome ♪

[♪♪♪]

Time to blow this thing

wide open.

[WHIRS, THEN DINGS]

[BENSON WHISTLES]

Huh?

Darn birds got in again.

[GRUNTS]

Ooh!

[GRUNTS]

[WHIRS, THEN DINGS]

I hear the whole thing

will be blasting off

in a couple months.

Well, assuming Steffen

can get his act together.

Huh?

What the--?

Oh...my...

My p-mail's not up there.

Come on. Come on.

It's true.

It must all be true.

I'm gonna blow this thing

wide open.

[IN GERMAN ACCENT]

Benson Dunwoody!

Park manager, former drummer,

stick-hockey enthusiast.

I...am Dr. Dome.

Welcome to my domicile.

I don't care

who you are.

I think we both know

what's going on here.

I can see you've accurately

surmised our plans.

I knew to look for your backup,

for I, too, print my e-mails.

Just in case.

Is that my p-mail?

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 e-mail.

Why we--

Aha!

So you admit

you did change the dates!

And I've got the proof

right here!

[LAUGHS MANIACALLY]

Ja.

Of course we did.

As you know,

that's part of the test.

Perhaps the data

isn't as compromised

as we initially thought.

Yeah, wait, what are

all these blueprints for?

[SNAPS]

Huh? Unh!

Ah.

No!

What the--?

Steffen, come on.

It is a very simple

user interface.

Antidote dart,

knockout dart.

Remember what I just showed you

because it is important.

[GROANS]

Do you think

he'll tell the others?

Only one way

to find out.

Oh, be careful up there.

How you guys doing?

Well, we

just about finished

with the new

irrigation system.

You guys are doing

great work.

Here. I don't want you guys

to get dehydrated.

BOTH: Thanks, boss.

Looking good, Pops.

Thank you.

Good, you're back.

Any luck?

Yeah, bad luck.

We couldn't

find him.

This isn't good.

What do you think

we should do?

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 our mantra.

ALL:

The dome affects us all

in different ways.

Great. Let's go.

Everybody,

please stick together.

RIGBY:

Guys, I think

I found something.

[♪♪♪]

Benson?

He's waking up.

Where...am I?

He's still unstable.

Benson,

are you all right?

We found you passed out

in the forest.

Are you okay?

What? Yeah, I'm...

RIGBY:

Is there anything

you wanna tell us?

Huh?

RIGBY: Any big secrets?

Really cool headband,

Benson.

Seems like

you've been through a lot.

What happened?

Well, ahem,

now that you mention it,

I-I was doing

some recon.

Actually came across

some very earth-shattering--

Hey, has that mirror

always been there?

Oh, that old thing?

Never mind that.

Now, you were saying

about your time in the forest?

Yeah, tell us more, sir.

Sir?

[GRUNTS]

What did you call me?

[GASPS]

Hey, Benson,

is there something wrong?

Maybe you should

lie back down.

Would you like

a popsicle?

Uh, sorry, guys.

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?

Of course.

What was it again?

The close our eyes game

where we all close our eyes.

Sure, sure.

Okay.

[GRUNTS]

[PANTING]

What the--?

Oh, no, bro!

Benson,

it's me, Techmo.

BENSON:

Oh, come on.

I barely know you!

Benson, slow down.

I'm your girlfriend

Audrey.

BENSON:

We broke up months ago!

Benson!

Benson, bro,

where are you?

Benson!

Hey, guys.

Whoa! Why are you

lurking in the bushes?

Oh, right.

I don't normally do that.

[LAUGHS]

I guess I got mixed up

and took a wrong turn.

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 e-mail.

[LAUGHS]

I apologize for

making such a fuss.

BOTH:

You apologize, huh?

Yep. After all, you know

your old pal Benson's motto:

"Don't sweat

the small stuff."

He's a fake!

Get him!

Aah!

What the heck

is this?

Where's

the real Benson?

I'll never tell.

[GRUNTING]

Please,

go back to your house.

Dr. Dome is not gonna--

[WHIRRING]

Huh?

[SCREAMS,

THEN GRUNTS]

Benson!

Is it really you?

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!

It's definitely him.

So, what do we do?

We're gonna take back

our free-dome.

To the dome cycle.

[♪♪♪]

Orders from on high

said compromised data

must be destroyed.

Dome let them

get away.

Is that

a bow and arrow?

Yes.

[BOTH SCREAM]

Weather control,

give me freezing rain.

Yes, sir.

[BEEPS]

[THUNDER RUMBLES]

[ALL SCREAMING]

Hold on.

ALL:

Ooh.

Benson?

Didn't that

hurt your knees?

Aah!

Aah!

Behind us!

Look out, he's got a dart--

[BOTH SNORING]

[BOTH GASP]

Fire! Fire all

of your darts!

[BOTH GRUNT, THEN SNORE]

[BOTH GASP]

Ow!

Dude.

[BEEPS]

Ow!

Huh?

[BEEPS]

Huh?

I thought

I was doing a good job!

[BEEPS]

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[ALL SCREAMING]

[WHISTLES]

[COOS]

[SCREECHES]

[BOTH SCREAM]

[SCREECHES]

[IMITATES SCREECH]

Press the moon button

on your drones.

[BEEPING]

[SLURRING]

We're almost out.

[GROWLS]

[BEEPS]

We can still

make it, bros!

[BEEPS]

[ALL GROAN]

DR. DOME:

You are our test subjects.

You cannot escape the dome.

Even if you

blow that thing open,

you would never

be able to fit.

You would have to

blow that thing,

like, really, really wide open.

[GASPS]

I'm gonna blow this thing

wide open.

No! Dome you see

this is bigger than you?

This is bigger

than all of us!

Hyah!

Aah!

Huh?

[LAUGHS]

You missed me!

Did I?

What?

[CRACKLING]

[GASPS]

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

Dome it all to hole.

[SIGHS]

[ALL PANTING]

It's the final frontier!

There may be another layer

of dome around this one.

Everybody weapon up.

[WEAPONS RINGING]

Congratulations.

Maelard?

You finished

the experiment.

But just barely.

If you'd escaped

even a minute sooner,

we'd have had to

start over again.

So the plan was

to trap us in there

with no warning

all along?

I suppose there's no harm

in admitting now that yes,

I played you for fools and won.

But why?

I'm afraid I can't divulge

the goal of the experiment.

No, Maelard.

You tell us

what this was all for.

You tell us right now!

Tell us!

[ULULATES]

All right!

The experiment was a test

to see how the park

and its employees would do

in a zombie apocalypse.

In space?

Seriously?

That's too cool

to be true.

He thinks he can

still play us for fools.

He doesn't understand

how much we've all grown

from this experience.

The truth this time,

Maelard.

You owe us the truth.

I told you the truth!

Papa, please.

Eh, fine.

I just felt like

buying a big dome

to put on the park

because I'm rich.

Finally,

an honest answer.

I'd probably have done

two domes.

You know, so it would look

like a huge butt.

Well, back

to my mansion.

BENSON:

You're not done here, Maelard.

The e-mail.

Admit to everyone

that you changed the date!

Yeah, I changed the date.

So I was right,

everyone!

[LAUGHS MANIACALLY]

I was right!

[♪♪♪]
