| - Mordecai: [groans] What now? Look, we're working. See! Rigby: Yeah, we're never gonna get done if you keep checking up on us! Benson: Pay day, fellas. Mordecai: Yeah-yuh! Rigby: Aww, nice! My favorite day of the every other week! Benson: [hands Mordecai and Rigby each a bag of change] Here. [Mordecai groans] What, you don't like getting paid? Mordecai: No, I'm just getting tired of the old sandwich-baggie full of coins. Why can't we get a check like normal people? Skips gets checks! Benson: Skips has a bank account and a 401k. Mordecai: Well, at least give us the coins in an envelope or something more respectable, 'cause this is degrading. [Benson drives away] I need to get out of here. [Cut to Mordecai and Rigby walking to the coffee shop] What's his deal? He doesn't respect us at all! Rigby: Yeah, well that's his problem, right? We're respectable people! Kid 1: Outta the way! Kid 2: Losers! Mordecai: What the heck, man, watch it! [Cut to the coffee shop] See man, it's not just Benson, people just don't respect us! Rigby: Well, we could buy people's respect. Mordecai: Nah, too expensive. People respect people who are good at things. [Pan to crowd cheering around an arcade game. Mordecai and Rigby walk up to Margaret] Margaret, what's going on? Margaret: The manager installed this new arcade game to keep the customers around. There kids are amazing at it, you should see 'em! Mordecai: Dude, it's those kids! (to the kids) Hey, hey you! Kid 2: What!? Mordecai: When you knock people over, you have to say you're sorry! You guys need to learn some respect. Kid 1: Respect our butts! Rigby: No, you respect our butts! Margaret: What are you guys doing!? Mordecai: Those kids practically killed us with their skateboards outside. Margaret: So!? They're kids! What are you going to do, beat them up or something? Mordecai: No, but I am gonna kick their butts at this video game. [puts coin on the arcade game] Bam! I got next. Kid 2: Nice baggie, must've been sad when you break open your piggy bank. Kids: Seven-hundred thousand! Kid 2: [putting name on high score list] TRD, turd. [laughs] Nice! Kids: [high-five] Yeah-yuh! Kid 2: Beat that, gramps. Mordecai: Gramps? I'm in my 20s. Kid 1: Yeah, 1920s. [laughs] Mordecai: Just move. [sits infront of arcade game, cracks knuckles and starts playing] Rigby: How do you get negative points? How is that even possible? Mordecai: It was the first time I ever played that stupid game! Give me a break! Rigby: I'm just saying, you made us look like chumps, man. Mordecai: Look at 'em. Manager: You guys really handed it to those losers. Margaret: [walks over with plate of donuts] Free donuts for the champs! Kid 2: All right, we're outta here. Margaret: [walking away] Weren't they amazing? I can't believe we were so enthralled by a video game, but we were! Mordecai: I told you people respect you when you're good at something. And we're gonna get the respect we deserve by getting good at that game. [Mordecai and Rigby start playing the game] Okay, Broken Bonez. Rigby: So are you trying to get broken bones? Mordecai: Dude, c'mon, no, you just gotta go off these jumps and land without breaking your bones. Rigby: Alright, I think I got it. Here, gimme a shot. [mindlessly taps and turns] Mordecai: Woah, how'd you do that? Rigby: I dunno, that's what those kids were doing. Here, you do the joystick and I'll do the buttons. Just go crazy when we're in the air. Mordecai: Wow, another 500! Aww sweet! Jack Farley: Aww, well not bad, not bad. You guys got some skill. Mordecai: Some? What do you mean some? Jack Farley: C'mon, Jack Farley! [groans] Dangit! [Screen shows 5 broken bonez!] Well, I gotta hand it to you guys. You play better than you look. Rigby: Okay? Mordecai: Thanks. Jack Farley: Stop by the office sometime if you wanna hang. [hands Mordecai a card] No charge. [cellphone rings] Yeah, Jack Farley? No! I said cell two, two! Rigby: What was that all about? Mordecai: [gasps] Respect! Rigby: Let's get some more. Benson: (over wakie talkie) Mordecai, Rigby, come in! Mordecai: Aww man, it's Benson. [reaches for walkie talkie] Yeah, uh, hey Benson. What's up? Benson: (over walkie talkie) I need you guys to clean the bathrooms back at the house ASAP! Mordecai: Uh, we're on our lunch break. Benson: Look, if you guys aren't back in two minutes, you're fired! Rigby: Gimme that! [snatches walkie talkie] We deserve more respect than this, Benson. Maybe when you realize that we'll come back to work. [throws wakie talkie in the bin] Benson: (over walkie talkie) Rigby, Mordecai! Mordecai and Rigby: Respect! Kid 1: Oh look, if it isn't Mr. and Mrs. negative points! Guess we'll have to beat you two losers again. Mordecai: Well, why don't you two come over here and try, then? Kid 2: You got yourselves a rematch. Kids: Aww man! Kid 2: All right, you guys are good. Mordecai: Thanks. Kid 1: Woah, you guys are really good! You're close to beating the high score! Mordecai: Woah, we are? Jack Farley: Wait, who holds the high score? Dude: Some dude named GBF, but it's not just a high score, it's the world record. Jack Farley: Thanks, now I can follow along and feel invested! Go for it, guys! [Mordecai and Rigby top the high score, everyone cheers. Margaret runs up and hugs Mordecai. The ground starts to shake and a beam from a lightning cloud shoots into the cafe. Garrett Bobby Ferguson appears] Garrett Bobby Ferguson: So you've broken the world record, have you? Mordecai: Yeah, who's askin'? GBF: Me. [turns around] Rigby: [makes sound of disgust] It's a giant bearded face! Mordecai & Rigby: [gasp] GBF! GBF: Yeah, I'm GBF all right, but it stands for Garrett Bobby Ferguson, not giant bearded face. Rigby: You're not mad at us for breaking your world record, are you? GBF: It's no big deal. Not like it's the universe record or anything important. Mordecai & Rigby: Universe record? GBF: It's the highest score in the whole universe, 1,279,001. Now who holds that record again? Oh yeah, me![Crowd runs up to Garrett Bobby Ferguson and stroke his beard] Yes, go ahead, stroke the beard of Garrett Bobby Ferguson. Mordecai: Hey, giant beardo face! GBF: I told you that's not my name! Mordecai: Look, we're gonna settle this right now. Us verses you in a head to head match. GBF: Fine! One game for the universe record. Winner gets all the respect. [sprouts arms and legs] [Mordecai and Rigby make a sound of disgust] Let's play. Mordecai: Dude, why're you crying, dude? GBF: Please, please just let me win! Mordecai: Dude, what are you talking about? GBF: I've devoted my entire life to Broken Bonez. I played so much my wife left me. Mordecai: So you're asking us to throw the game? GBF: Please, the universe record is all I have! Mordecai: What do you think, man? Rigby: No way! Nobody's gonna respect us if we wuss out now! Mordecai: It's not wussing out, man. It's called doing the right thing. Rigby: Fine. Mordecai: Okay dude, we'll let you have it. GBF: Thank you so much! [laughs evily] Thank you for being so dumb! Mordecai & Rigby: What!? GBF: I didn't devote my life to this cruddy game, it's just a hobby. Mordecai: But what about your wife? GBF: Never had one! You can't tie GBF down! Rigby: You can't do that, that's cheating! GBF: Universe rules, baby. There are no rules. [Crowd boo] Oh, boo yourselves! I'm Garrett Bobby Ferguson. Mordecai: Aww, this blows! We gotta do something before he beats our score! Rigby: No rules, right? Mess up, c'mon, mess up! Mordecai: You know you want some broken bones. Rigby: Broken bones! Mordecai & Rigby: Broken bones! GBF: [laughs] It doesn't matter, I've already beat your score and taken the title and I'm never coming back! Jack Farley: Wait, the game's still going! Mordecai: Huh? GBF: No, it can't be! Mordecai: C'mon, c'mon! [Garrett Bobby Ferguson starts throwing Mordecai and Rigby away from the game. He pulls on Mordecai] Mordecai: Get off! GBF: Oh, my Chin! Mordecai & Rigby: Yeah! Jack Farley: Great job, you did it! Mordecai: Oh, hey Benson, what're you doing here? Benson: I thought about what you guys said earlier and so I've come down to give you those checks you wanted. Mordecai & Rigby: Oh wow, thanks! [reach for the checks] Benson: [pulls checks away] But now that I'm covered in brain goo, I've realised my mistake. (goes red) [starts tearing up checks] You wanna waste your lives playing video games, then fine, I respect your decision! Just don't ever do it on my time ever again! Mordecai: I can respect that. Rigby: Yeah, that's cool.
