"This is the great Ben Tennyson, bearer of the" "Omnitrix, savior of the Univ..." "And don't you forget it, buddy." "You think you're the only galvanic mechamorph I've ever dealt with?" "Pfft!" "It's gonna take a lot more to surprise me." "Indeed." "Aw, man."

"Okay." "If you're gonna stand there blabbing at me, Malware, at least pop a breath mint, will ya?" "Oh, yeah..." "Feedback!" "He shoots!" "He scores!" "Yeah, you better run!" "Yeah, you better run!" "I got it!" "Really, Zombozo?" "What kind of sicko steals from a brain bank?" "Why does Bellwood even have a brain bank?" "Thank you, my boy." "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." "Come on!" "Give me something good!" "Not what I was going for, but I can work with this." "On it!" "Come on." "You have to admit you love this stuff as much as I do, Gwen." "I can't believe you're really going to leave." "Yeah?" "Wouldn't you skip a few grades of high school if you had some brains?" "There are plenty of colleges right here near Bellwood you could go to." "Not quite the same as the Ivy League." "I told you... we've spent years saving the world." "I just want to see some of what I've been saving." "I know." "I get it." "Well, hurry back, Kevin!" "The troublesome two-oh is more than enough to take on whatever the universe dishes out." "Uh..." "I'm not coming back, Ben." "I found a place near campus." "So... this is goodbye?" "Of course not!" "There are holidays and..." "and semester breaks." "And, besides, we're cousins." "It's not like we're never gonna see each other again." " Right?" " Right." "Later, man." "Don't do anything I wouldn't do." "Count on it." "Come to think of it, don't do anything you usually do, either." "Take care of yourself, doofus." "You too, dweeb." "Oh, what a touching moment." "Too bad you would have never caught me all by your lonesome." "Watch it, Zombozo." "I don't need a team to get the job done." "I'm a superhero!" "I can do this alone..." "no problem." "Why am I telling this to a crazy monster clown?" "Time to put my money where my mouth is!" "But first, time to put food where my mouth is." "Nah." "It wouldn't be the same." "Grandpa Max?" "Hey, just in time, Ben." " Whatcha making?" " Zandurian goulash." "It's fresh." "Uh, no, thanks." "I'm... oddly not hungry." "Think I'll go back out on patrol." "Ben, before you go..." "I have something here that ought to cheer you up." "Hey, I am cheerful." "I'm psyched to go find some superhero action to get into." "And something to eat that's not in the tentacle food group." "I just got the data in on your new..." "I got this." "Wait for backup." "I'll send Alpha team." "I don't need a team." "I'm me!" "Wow." "Bye-bye, building." "What could have done this?" "Whoa!" "Let me guess... you must be what took the building down." "Nice work." "Very thorough." "Get ready to meet a friend of mine I like to call "Humungousaur"!" "Why do you hate me, New Omnitrix?" "If I was Humungousaur, you would be so sorry right now!" "Well, that was a big help." "The bigger they are, the harder they..." "Oh, come on." "I may be small, but I'm wiry." "Yeah." "I should have expected that." "Uh... yeah!" "And don't come back!" "The stories are true... that Tennyson is worthy prey." "Is it gone?" "Who are you?" "Pakmar." "This is my place." "Was my place." "Pakmar's place!" "Well, you're safe now." "My hero." "Can I help?" "No." "Just go away." "I don't want any more trouble." "Yeah, I think it's a little too late for that." "All I wanted was to run my toilet emporium in peace!" "Now it's in pieces." "Eh, different aliens have different needs." "Don't even want to know." "So, um, the thing that did this to your place..." "dissatisfied customer?" "Hardly!" "Some off-world lowlifes are shaking down us law-abiding businessmen." "We pay them taydenite, they "protect" us." "Only thing is..." "we don't pay, they'the ones we need the protecting from." "Have they threatened anyone else?" "Only every alien shop in Bellwood." "Yeesh, kid!" "Where you been?" "!" "All right, Mr. Bowman." "What do you know?" "I know lots of things." "Anything about an..." "alien protection racket in Bellwood?" "Nope." "So they haven't been coming around here?" "Who's been coming around where?" "Right." "Okay, then." "Nice seeing you again, Ben." "Enjoy a free gloppenbeef sandwich... to go." "They're on their way right now, aren't they?" "Ben, please." "It's a simple arrangement." "I pay them, they leave." "Which is what I want you to do right now." "But, Mr. Bowman, I can stop them!" "No!" "Every time you're in my shop, you ruin it!" "You think I'm going to mess up your place more than they will?" "Okay, one time!" "What if I just sit quietly at the counter and blend in, like any other customer?" "I promise, you won't even notice I'm here." "Please don't touch anything." "Yes!" "Come on, baby." "Any old alien will do for a disguise." "Oh!" "That was me." "My bad." "Hey!" "How it's going, fellow aliens?" "Nice weather we're having here on Earth, huh?" "Ben, you're not fooling anybody." "Oh, yeah." "Right." "I knew it!" "I knew it!" "Ah, it'll buff right out." "There we go." "Nothing to it." "Hey, you gonna eat the rest of that?" "Aw, thanks!" "Uh, could you pass the..." "Whoa!" "Uh, thanks." "Pay up, Bowman." "You heard about Pakmar?" "Hmm?" "I heard he has great deals on toilets." "I heard it was an accident." "Accidents happen all the time." "Maybe to you." "Take it easy, now." "I don't want any trouble." "Hmm." "Pleasure doing business with you." "Hey, bubblehead!" "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no." "This doesn't concern you, Arburian Pelarota." "I think it does." "Aww." "Looks like someone needs to be taught a lesson." "Oh!" "Let me guess." "You're the one who's gonna teach it to me." "Not in my store!" "Please..." "I'll pay you not to do this, Ben." "Really?" "I mean... your days of intimidating people are over, bubble brain!" "No lasers!" "No lasers!" "I knew this was going to happen the second he walked into my store." "Eh... thank you!" "Come again!" "I'll clean it up later, Mr. Bowman." "You always say that." "Eh, okay, boys." "Let's make like a tree and craterize this place." "Ben?" "Not a problem." "Now?" "Really?" "Goodbye, Mr. Bowman." "Isn't this where your friends show up and save the day?" "Oh, not another one!" "I was being sarcastic." "Who are you?" "Rook Blanko." "Magister Tennyson sent me." "Grandpa?" " I'm your new partner." " Huh?" "My new..." "I don't want a new partner." "No offense, but I'm Ben Tennyson." "Yes, I know." "It's an honor to be working with you, sir." "Wielder of the Omnitrix." "See?" "I've saved the universe like a billion times." "I am well aware." "It's required study at the Plumbers Academy." "Really?" "!" "There's a whole class about me?" "!" " Chapter and a half." " Oh." "Well, I was kind of looking forward to being on my own now." "You understand, right?" "I have things under control here." "My mistake." "I thought you did not." "I waited to see if you needed my assistance." "Don't stop now!" "Not while the Omnitrix is timed out." "Oh." "Sorry, sir." "Not bad." "But, you know, I bet anybody could do that if they had one of those... things." "It's called a Proto-tool..." "The most versatile tech in the known universe." "I've made some special modifications myself." " It's..." " Does it have a mute button?" "Sir?" "Yes!" "Thanks for the help, man, but I got this now." "Whoa." "Who's this guy?" "I did not see that coming." "Hey, Rook!" "Tag out!" "It means "switch places."" "Get over here and disable the force field for me." "I'll deal with those guys." "All right." "Let's see what this baby can do." "How's it coming?" "What are you waiting for?" "Use your techno-thingy." "Proto-tool." "Whatever." "No!" "What are you doing?" "The shield fluctuation uses a B'karyix algorithm." "I can't break the code in time." "We need to detonate it away from the populace." "Speak English." "Help me move it outside." "Wait!" "Take your time." "I'm joking, by the way." "Hurry up!" "Have to scan for the presence of sentient life." "All clear." "I got it." "I don't got it." "Three, two..." " You okay?" " Proto-tech armor." "Very nice of you to try to save me, though." " Thanks, partner." " Don't mention it." " But I just did." " And we're not partners!" " I work alone now." " Yes, sir." " Call me "Ben," dude." " Okay, Ben dude." "No way." "Show no mercy."
