Here she is, kids -- Niagara Falls.

Gwen: Whoa!

Niagara Falls? What's there to do here?

Seriously?

It's only the biggest waterfall in America.

Yes! They have a waterfall?

Ohh, no. I know that look.

Ben, don't. -What?

Every time you get around water, you make a fool of yourself.

No, I don't.

-Ben, no! -Cannonball!

-Ben, no! -Cannonball!

-Ben, no! -Cannonball!

Okay, so I like making a splash.

What else are you gonna do with water?

See? That's why I'm worried.

If we're gonna survive the summer,

maybe you could use a little help.

[Straining] Help?

What kind of nonsense are you talking?

You know, just sometimes maybe you need a filter.

A filter?

Yeah, someone to sift through all your ideas

and tell you when one of them is really terrible.

Why would I need that?

D-- ah. Trust me.

Who needs a filter when I've got Ben-tuition --

that tiny feeling in my gut that is never, ever wrong?

Look, your "Ben-tuition" is awesome.

But how much more awesome would it be

if I was there to pump the brakes every now and then

so you don't accidentally destroy any national monuments?

Hey, that statue was asking for it!

You know, Ben, it might not be the worst idea.

With your powers and Gwen's, um, discretion,

you two could be unbeatable.

Well?

Uh...I guess.

Great! So we agree.

You'll run all your ideas by me first.

Pickle?

Fine.

[ Laughs mischievously ]

Time for some unfiltered fun.

[ <span tts:fontStyle="italic">Beeping </span>] Diamondhead, no.

Cannonbolt, yes!

♪♪

[ Roars ]

Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy!

Cannonbolt-ball!

[ Splash ]

Darn it. I just washed that truck.

[ Laughs ]

[ <span tts:fontStyle="italic">Beeps </span>] Best cannonball ever!

[ Growling ] Must feed.

Darn it. I just bought that truck.

[ Metal crunches ]

[ Gulps, roars ]

[ Screaming in distance ]

[ Gasps ] What was that?

[ Screaming continues ]

Giant tentacle rampaging through town.

Can't say I saw that coming.

Oh, of course I'll marry you, Todd!

Oh, Sally, nothing can ruin this perfect moment.

[ Both scream ]

All right. Who's on deck today?

Ooh, new guy!

Ben! No!

Hey. No looking over my shoulder while I'm alien picking.

Hello? Filter here!

This is no time to learn on the job.

Just go with something you know.

I know you're trying to help,

but my Ben-tuition is telling me to try out this new guy.

-But you agreed -- -Shh, shh, shh.

Trust me on this.

[ Growls ]

[ <span tts:fontStyle="italic">Beeping </span>]

Here we go!

This is all your fault!

My fault?

I don't know why I thought a ring was a good idea!

How dare you!

All right, whatcha got, new guy?

[ Monster groans ]

Ugh!Ugh!

-Let's never fight again! -I love you so much.

Okay, sweet.

So you're like the world's most powerful water g*n.

Huh?

[ Thunk! ]

Huh. Super-tough exoskeleton

seems to be able to take a whipping and keep on dripping.

I give it five stars.

Hey! Get back here!

[ Roars ]

What the heck is that?

[ Munching ]

And why is he so hungry?

Apparently, there's a legend about a creature

called the Hydromander.

It lives under these falls

and hibernates for thousands of years.

It only wakes up to do important things like feeding.

Wow. That's some rotten luck,

us being here just when he wakes up.

Luck? Or some super-impulsive person

with no filter did something to wake it up.

I don't know what you're talking about.

[ Growls ]

Okay, okay!

My Ben-tuition may have led me to

cannonball a hungry tentacle monster out of its sleep.

How was I supposed to know?

What did we talk about yesterday?

You run everything by me, remember? Your filter?

This is no time for arguing, kids.

This thing looks like it's about to eat the whole town.

[ People screaming ]

Ben!

Next up on the tour -- sushi!

[ Screams ]

[Straining] Let go of me! Can't breathe!

Gonna...

Wait a minute.

New guy can breathe water?

[Laughing] Oh, man, are you gonna get it!

[ Whoosh! ] Whoa!

Ugh! So, that does that.

What about...

[ Bubbles, whoosh ]

Ow!

Okay, but what if I --

[ Whirl! ]

Ha! Good luck trying to escape that whirlpool!

Aah!

Oof! [ Groans ]

[ Roars ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Gulps, belches ]

Feeding complete.

Ben!

[ Coughing ]

Where'd it go?

It's heading upstream.

Let's go.

I can't believe it.

I got totally schooled by that frog monster thing.

Town ruined, ancient monster awoken,

all because of my stupid Ben-tuition.

I'm just glad you're safe now, cuz.

Nobody's safe yet.

Looks like this thing is headed out to Lake Erie.

You were right. I do need a filter.

Help me?

[ Low rumbling ]

Look! I think it's hurt.

[ Bubble! ]

Whoa. I don't believe it. It's going down.

It's history! You did it, Ben!

Yeah! Whoo-hoo!

Oh, yeah, I'm the best.

You can't stop this, 'cause I bring it!

Uh-huh!

I wouldn't celebrate yet.

Why not? It's not every day I destroy a Hydromander.

It's not destroyed, Ben. It's multiplying.

Huh?

This must be the other important thing it does when it wakes up.

It replicates.

Oh.

[ All growling ]

Feed!

Well? What should I do?

Use someone you know inside and out, like Heatblast!

Okay. Yes. Heatblast.

[ <span tts:fontStyle="italic">Beeping </span>]

Hope you guys like the classics.

'Cause here's a trusty old stand-by I like to call

Fireball!

[ Bubbles bursting ]

And here's another one.

It's, uh, also called Fireball!

Okay, more classics, coming up!

[ Splash ]

There. That takes care of --

Aaaah!

Gwen! There's too many of them, and not enough classics!

Aah!

Ben! No!

Attack!

[ Gasps ]

Fire in water --

Oh, I should have thought of that!

[ Gasps ]

[ <span tts:fontStyle="italic">Beeps </span>]

Quick! Pull me in!

Use the hook!

[ Both grunt ]

We can't get to it! They're all over us!

Ben, use your Ben-tuition!

Hyah!

But that's what got me in trouble!

Ha! No, it isn't.

I got you in trouble by making you doubt yourself.

Your Ben-tuition is perfectly...

Ben-tuitive!

Ugh, what am I saying?

Hyah!

Aah!

[ <span tts:fontStyle="italic">Beeping </span>]

Somebody order an underwater beatdown?

I hate when they don't own up to it.

Let's do this!

[ Whirl! ]

Yeah!

[ Grunts ]

[ Groans ]

[ Gasps ] They get weaker on land.

That means...

Stay still, you little --

Ben! Get them onto land!

What?

Just do what you always do in water!

[ Gasps ]

Really?

Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy!

♪♪

Cannonball!

[ Squish! ]

Nothing can ruin this beautiful moment.

[ Splat! ] Aah!Aah!

[Straining] Lame. Lame!

Aww. They're kind of cute when they're out of water.

Phew! There.

Ben, I owe you an apology.

If I hadn't gotten in the way,

your Ben-tuition would've done just fine.

It's okay. Believe it or not,

sometimes your filter is kind of right.

Thanks. We just have different ways of doing things.

My way is to play it safe,

and yours is a fast-and-loose

by-the-seat-of-your-pants approach.

Cannonball!

Did he really just do that again?

Whoops. Got this reversed.That's better. Go ahead, Ben.

Hey, everybody. Ben Tennyson here

to show you how to do the perfect cannonball

using Cannonbolt! [ <span tts:fontStyle="italic">Beeping </span>]

[ Laughs ] Whoa!

Oof!

Cut.

...using Cannonbolt!

[ <span tts:fontStyle="italic">Beeping </span>]

All right. Here we go.

[ Grunts ]

Whoa-oa-oh! [ Crash! ]

Gwen: Ben?

[ Groans ]

Cut.
