Good to see ya.

Gen was showing me
a picture of his grandson.

- He's so cute!
- Yeah?

He's already in middle school.

You know,
if my daughter was still alive,

I might have had a grandson
around the same age by now.

Uh... um [indistinct].
I didn't mean to touch a nerve.

Sorry, Rick.
Dumb of me.

Rick, have something to drink.

Great job!
One more song!

[man continues singing

Huh? Wait, what in the
g*dd*mn hell am I doing here?

- [door bells jingle]
- What's gotten into you?

We were just getting started.

Come on.
At least one song.

Listen, lady,
this isn't even my life.

- Huh?
- Well, sh*t.

It seems like I somehow ended up

in another Rick's reality.

Let's move, Morty.

You should really

Are you saying that he's going

Huh?

Attention!

We will now begin the execution

Rick Sanchez.

So I get to live my last

Well...
that's a little better.

Jesus, help me, Rick!

Stop freaking out, Morty!

If your brain survives,
I know a way to regenerate you.

And worst case,
all it would take

is one strand of hair
to make a clone.

Jesus Christ, I've already got

This is Elle.

Hmm? Another Rick

God damn it!

So incredibly annoying.

Well, now you don't

because you'll never use
it again, stupid.

My grandson has no part in this.

Return him to Earth, would ya?

Aww, geez, Rick.

He's suspected of being
your accomplice.

If nothing comes up during our
interrogation, he can go home.

There is no other way to escape.

You don't have to bother
with any interrogation.

I'm Rick's partner,
you butthole!

Wow. Your grandson
is as dumb as you!

Way to go, Morty.
