[indistinct chatter, laughter]

[man] Please take your seats.
Our show is about to begin.


[door hinges creak]

[Todd] Extra butter, please.

- Keep going, keep going.
- [sloshing]

Okay, great.

Nope, not great.

More, more.

Now stop. Okay.
Now double that, and we're done.

- [Todd exhales]
- [chuckles]

[gentle music playing]

[munching] Hmm?

[tense music playing]

[whooshes, whirs]

[Scott groaning]

- [Scott grunts]
- [rumbling]

- [splats]
- Come on!

- Evil Ex Number Three, Todd Ingram, right?
- [tense music continues]

The v... vegan? Let's fight!

[laughing]

Me? Fight you? Over Ramona?

Don't make me... [laughs]...laugh!

And I'm vegan no longer.

I had a cheese plate for breakfast,
lunch, and dinner today.

Ugh! You owe me a new tub of butter.

I mean, popcorn.

And you didn't create this weird
force field between me and Ramona?

Dude, for your information,
I've got a new obsessive love interest.

- [gasps] Hey!
- [dings]

You were Wallace's roommate!
Tell me everything!

Where was he born?
What is his middle name?

Does he have a favorite vegetable?

Move on, Todd.
I'm not interested in curds and whey.

- There were sparks! Sparks!
- [horn blows]

There's no such thing.

Ah! [hyperventilating]

♪ I had that dream again ♪

- Oh, hi, Ramona.
- Hmm.

- [sharp sting]
- [grunts]

Scott Pilgrim!
Do not be throwing hands at me right now!

This is the biggest night of my career.

I shouldn't even be
wasting my voice on you! So, bzzp!

[Scott] Hmm.

- [Julie] Well, look at this.
- Huh?

[tense music plays]

Scott and Ramona together again.

So he's alive!

Put 'er there, Pilgrim.

- [sharp sting]
- [grunts]

Hey, I get it. No presh on the handshake.

You didn't create a force field preventing
me and Ramona from kissing, did you?

Scotty, that evil villain stuff
is behind me. I've got Jules now.

We're just here to watch the show,
you psycho maniac. Let us pass.

What? Eh?

[paparazzi grunting]

[action music playing]

[Lucas Lee grunts]

- [camera shutters clicking]
- [chimes]

- [paparazzi] Huh?
- [coins jingle]

Come on, fellas. Don't make this about me.

Let me tell you
about Broadway Bad Boy, Matthew Patel.

[paparazzi grunting]

- [Roxie] Hi-yah!
- [sword slashes]

[paparazzi groaning]

[Roxie grunts]

- [laughs]
- [rapid beeping]

- [sharp sting]
- [grunts]

- [Scott] Hey, Evil Exes!
- Huh?

[Scott] Do either of you know
anything about this force field thingy?

And would either of you
like to fight about it?

Nope.

Come on. Let's go watch
a stupid musical about a stupid guy.

Mmm...

[dramatic music playing]

[twins] Scott Pilgrim.

- [sharp sting]
- [grunts]

Oh, excuse us. We were just reading aloud.

[both] "Scott Pilgrim's
Precious Little Musical."


We're not here to fight.

Our robot says
we're all bros in the future. So...

- [both] Later, bro.
- [robot chimes]

So it probably wasn't them then.

That leaves...

Wait, nobody?

We've ruled out all my exes.

What the hell? No fights? No kissing?

This finale sucks.

[suspenseful music playing]

[music builds, halts]

["Bloom" by Necry Talkie playing]

[music halts]

[classical music playing]

I'm so excited
I might legitimately pass out again!

I'm here to support the two of you,
but this better be really good.

"Based on a memoir
by Old Young Neil." Huh.

I wonder if there's any relation?

- [Scott grunts]
- [Ramona grunts]

- [sharp sting]
- Scott Pilgrim!

So you got the girl.

You gonna kiss her or what?

[all chanting] Kiss her! Kiss her!

Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!

[chuckles]

[groans]

[indistinct chatter]

[classical music playing]

[breathes deeply] Hmm!

[audience cheering]

[Matthew] ♪ I had that dream again ♪

[actor] I didn't care the first time,
I care even less now.

And rainbow hair ♪

[rumbling]

[whooshing]

- Uh...
- Hmm?

- Uh...
- [rumbling swell]

- [whooshing]
- [rumbling]

Uh, what the hell?

Where are we?

[whoosh]

Huh. Gotta be part of the show.
The special effects are incredible.

[Matthew snaps fingers]
It most certainly is not!

I need to get back
and sing the big finale!

Exactly.

He needs to bring the house down.

- With dynamite!
- [sharp sting]

Julie and I rigged
the whole stage with it.

You did what? Why?

Isn't it obvious?

You took his life away.

And I'm the cool girl
who's helping him get it back.

But that could really hurt someone!

[Gordon] Not us.

The cast and crew, maybe.

Still not cool, Goose.

- [man echoing] Enough!
- Huh?

- [whoosh]
- [man growls]

[wind whooshing]

Scott?

But old.

No.

Even older.

Even Older Me!

How ya doing? Love the white hair. Huh?

- [yells]
- [Scott grunting]

[all] Huh?

I explicitly told you
to stay away from Ramona!

- But did you listen?
- [grunts]

- No!
- [gasps]

- [Scott grunts]
- [Even Older Scott growls]

[Even Older Scott grunts]

- Hmm!
- [Even Older Scott] Ha!

[Scott grunts]

[coughs]

[groans]

Isn't that perfect?

Scott and Ramona.

- [Ramona] Hmm.
- [Even Older Scott] Must be love.

Hey, give us a kiss, you two.
Let's see those sparks!

[gasps] The force field! It was you!

[Even Older Scott] Uh, duh!

I tried to convince you
to give up on Ramona,

but if you didn't listen,
I had a backup plan.

I put nanomachines in your drink.

Developed by the Twins.
Coded to Ramona's DNA.


You'll find the AK fields they generate
to be quite impenetrable.

"AK fields"?

Anti-Kiss fields!

[grumbling]

[electric zap]

So why are you here fighting us?
You've already won.

I'm here
because winning didn't change anything!

We still end up
marrying Ramona inexplicably!

You and all your stupid friends
must team up at some point in my new past

and figure out
how to dissolve the Anti-Kiss Fields.

My new memories are kind of fuzzy,
but that made me realize

all my plans were too complicated.

It's time to do what
I should have done in the first place.

- Rip your... Hmm?
- [Gordon] Ahem!

Sir, I respect the work
you've put into this villain plot,

but I have my own villain plot going on.

So please, send the rest of us back first.
We've got no beef with you.

What if I have a beef with you?

- [grunts]
- [whirring]

- [dramatic music playing]
- [choking]

[gasps] Gordon!

Put him down, you old [bleep]!

[growls]

- [laughs] Pathetic.
- [gasps, coughs]

After you left the future,
and after Old Wallace kicked me out,

I began my training.

[grunting]

[breathing heavily]

[yelps] Ahh!

[groans]

For ten years, I did nothing
but study all of your skills.


- Your strengths, your weaknesses.
- [munching]

Because there's only one way to end this.

[exhales]

- Me versus the world!
- [dramatic music playing]

- [grunts angrily]
- I have to destroy all of you!

So you're the big bad.

- Me?
- [music halts]

I'm a good guy!
I've been living like a friggin' monk!

Is that what we're calling it?

Or is it just that you haven't
been outside in ten years?

- Ah! You sound just like my wife!
- Hmm.

- [sharp sting]
- Hmm!

[announcer] Even Older Scott Pilgrim
versus everyone!


- [bell dings]
- Fight!

[grunts] Ha!

- [sharp whir]

[Scott groans]

- [Scott grunts]

[dramatic music playing]

Ramona, are you okay?

Got anything besides that hammer?

[snaps fingers] Hmm.

[groaning]

- [exhales]
- [rumbles]

- [Knives grumbling]
- [yelling]

[Knives yells]

[inhales, grunts]

[yells, grunts]

- It's time to Chau-down!
- [sharp sting]

Oh, you want to fight Old Scotty P?

[gasps] Slice! [grunting]

- [Knives screams]
- [gasps]

- [all gasp]
- [grunts]

[Knives grunts, exhales]

You need to respect your elders!

All's fair in love and...

w*r!

[tense music playing]

Om. [yells]

[grunting]

- [laughing]
- [whooshing]

[Even Older Scott grunts]

[zipper zips]

- [chiming]
- [Roxie] Hmm!

- [Todd] Hmm?

[grunts]

[Roxie grunts]

[Lucas Lee] Mmm.

Ramona!

[loud expl*si*n]

- [whirring]
- Huh?

- [Knives gasps]
- Hmm?

- Hmm?
- Huh?

- Huh?
- Huh?

[Even Older Scott yelling]

[Ramona breathing heavily, grunts]

- [Scott panting]
- Scott!

- Ramona, let's hit him together!
- Hmm. [grunts]

- Wait.
- Huh?

- [both panting, grunt]
- [Even Older Scott] Huh?

- [both yell, grunt]
- [rumbles]

[Even Older Scott yelling]

[grumbles]

[Scott grunts, yells]

[grunts]

- [loud expl*si*n]
- [Even Older Scott yelling]

[grunting]

You need to let me live my life!

If I do, you'll end up where I ended up.

Alone.

Alone in a room for ten years!

That was your choice! Let me make my own!

I'm you!

- [electronic zap]
- [Scott yells]

[loud rumble]

[grunts] Scott!

[groaning]

What if... what if he's right?

He's you.

Do I want to date that guy?

[Scott] You think
I want to become that guy?

I won't!

Scott, how can you be sure?

[groans]

[groans]

[tender music playing]

Huh?

[tender music continues]

[rumbles]

- [electronic zap]
- [Ramona groans]

[whooshing]

Ten years!

- [Even Older Scott whimpers]
- Ten years!

Not even a text?

Then Wallace tells me you're training
to go back in time and fight yourself?

Well, not just myself.
A lot of people and... and a robot.

We hit one rough patch,
and you go completely insane?

Why are you in the past
fighting all of these people...

And... and a robot.

...when you could've been fighting for us?

Uh, we were over?

I just needed some space, dude.

[Even Older Scott] What have I been doing
for the past ten years?

- Giving you space!
- Uh...

Okay, wait, wait, wait. Back up.
Are... are you saying that we weren't over?

Are you saying that you still loved me?

At the time, yes.

Does that mean
that we can get back together?

Just like that, after ten years?

No, dude.

Oh.

Well, that makes sense, I... I guess.

So what about me?

- You're telling me I should just skate on?
- Huh?

Call it another failed experiment?

[Future Ramona]
Would that come as any surprise?

Oh, go ahead, both of you, run!
Run away from the thing that you love.

Huh?

[pensive music playing]

[whooshing]

I'm done running.

Huh?

You. I choose you.

Mmm.

[whooshing]

- [ethereal music playing]
- [whirring]

[chimes]

Ah!

Hmm?

Super Ramona!

It's just like...

- Sonic the Hedgehog 3!
- Sonic 2!
Uh, I mean, 3!

[Super Ramona]
Wow! This one's just an idiot kid.

And this one is a real mess.

- Ooh, kick his ass, Super Ramona!
- [Super Ramona] No.

It's never too late to clean up a mess.

But I will send him home
so he can get started.

Wait, uh, me?

Wait, who? No, no, no!
No, no, no! Wait, wait, I'm...

[snaps fingers]

[whirs, chimes]

Oh, well, this is great.

Not!

[Super Ramona] The me who left him
and the me who just met him...


We're the same.

I see that now. It's all the same.

It's all beautiful.

Beautiful.

[ethereal swell]

[rumbles]

- [rumbling continues]
- [kisses]

[enchanted twinkle]

- [Super Ramona sighs]
- Wow!

Hey. Because I'll have a lot of trouble
saying it later, let me say it now.

I love you, Scott.

And I run away from the thing that I love.

But what I've done in the past
doesn't have to define me.

Help me keep remembering that, okay?

[ethereal swell]

- [Matthew sobbing happily]
- [audience cheering]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Aw!

[cheering continues]

k*ller work! You crushed that!

- [laughing] Yeah!
- The Bad Boy of Broadway.

- Tremendous.
- Spectacular.

Not bad.

[cheering continues]

[Scott] Huh?

Hmm. [chuckles]

- Oh...

[enchanted twinkling]

Sparks.

[enchanted swell]

- Handled!
- [both] Hmm!

[foreboding music playing]

[Matthew] Hmm.

- [Gordon shrieks]
- [Julie grunts]

[both] They tried to b*mb
the theater, sir.

We don't use the b-word
on opening night, girls.

Why'd you do it, Gordon?

[exhales] I don't know.

Maybe I am just evil.

I only wanted revenge
for what you took from me.

Buddy, you think I enjoy being a CEO?

- I've lost billions!
- [chime]

Is there any way
you would take the empire back?

Just let me keep my show,
and the rest of it is yours.

- [enchanted swell]
- Huh? [laughs]

[both laughing]

[crying, chuckles]

[all laughing]

[all laughing evilly]

[gentle music playing]

[Knives] Woo-hoo!

- You were the best Scott of them all.
- [man 1] I like Matthew now.

[woman] Yeah, it sucked.

[man 2] Yeah, all right!
What do we... Yeah! Okay! Is it over?
