01x06 - Tourist Trap

[bunniefuu]

Aah!

I'd warn you that your face
might freeze like that, but in
your case,

it would be an improvement.

Oh, man, the seafood special.

Time to pull out the
secret w*apon.

Aah!

Aah!

Ha ha ha!

There is such a thing as
taking a joke too far, you know.

Ha ha ha!

Ugh.

Impossible.
Funny is funny.

Ben, better get up here.

Oh, good, you're all
ready to go.

We got trouble ahead.

Help!

The door's stuck!
He can't get out!

Help!

If that propane he's hauling
catches fire, that truck will
become a rocket to the moon.

¶ It started when ¶

¶ An alien device
did what it did ¶

¶ and stuck itself ¶

¶ upon his wrist ¶

¶ with secrets that it hid ¶

¶ now he's got super powers ¶

¶ he's no ordinary kid ¶

¶ he's Ben ¶

¶ Ben ¶

¶ so if you see him ¶

¶ you might be in
for a big surprise ¶

¶ he'll turn into an alien ¶

¶ before your very eyes ¶

¶ he's funny, freaky, fast
and strong ¶

¶ he's every shape and size ¶

¶ he's Ben ¶

¶ Ben ¶

¶ all new powers ¶

¶ he's on the case ¶

¶ fighting all evil ¶

¶ from earth or space ¶

¶ he'll never stop
till it's ok ¶

¶ 'cause he's the baddest kid ¶

¶ to ever save the day ¶

¶ Ben ¶

¶ Ben ¶

¶ , , ¶

Come on, folks.

Give the bug a chance to work.

The fire's too intense.

I wish I was heatblast.

Hey, that gives me an idea.

Aah!

...Saves lives.

Aah!

That's the monster that
ate that kid.

Look at the time.

Got to fly.

"You'll have a ball with
it...next exit."

Come on, grandpa.

At least give us a hint
of what it is.

Uh-uh, no hints.

I've been planning this stop all

summer.

Now both of you, close your

eyes.

Ok, open them up.

Ta da!

Welcome to Sparksville.

Is this place great or what?

I'll go with "or what."
Come on.

What's more exciting than the
world's biggest fish bowl?

Um, everything.

As the mayor of Sparksville,
I welcome you seekers of wonder.

I know you guys are probably
excited to see it, so I'll go
check us in.

Tickets, please.

I thought you were the mayor.

He who wears the crown is
burdened by many hats, son.

Mind the signs.

Through these doors lies the
weirdest, wildest thing ever to

find its way to Sparksville.

Please tell me this is it
because I can't stand it
anymore.

"do not touch it."

"Do not photograph it."

"Do not use batteries or
electrical equipment anywhere
near it."

This is it?

It's a big ball of
rubber bands.

And who knows what secrets
lie within.

Uh, more rubber bands?

Stay as long as you like.

Mind the signs.

Look at this place.

These guys are full of it.

We've been punked.

It is pretty lame.

I can't believe grandpa was so
excited about this place.

I know that look, Ben.

What are you thinking?

One good prank
deserves another.

For once, I agree with you.

Got something special in mind?

I don't know.

Maybe the world's
biggest booger?

HA!

Careful, dweeb.
You'll drop it.

Not a chance.

I could lift this thing with
hands tied behind my--

Aah!

Oops.

Aah!

AAH!



Ow!

What was that for?

For turning me into
a criminal.

Don't get your shorts
in a twist.

I'll just put everything back
the way it was.

No problem.

OK, maybe a little problem.

What are we going to
tell grandpa?

Nothing.
We just play dumb.

Easy for you.

You're a lot better at it
than I am.

Hey, there you are.

Isn't this place a riot?

Why?
What did you see?

We don't know anything about it.

She means it's great,
Grandpa.

Can't wait to check out
the bathroom.

Ha ha ha!

What the heck happened here?

He knows everything.

We are so busted.

We have to come clean and tell
Grandpa everything.

Sometimes it's hard to
believe you're really a kid.

Never admit anything until you
absolutely have to.

Got it?

Benjamin, Gwendolyn,
get out here.

Gwendolyn?
We're doomed.

Whoa.

What happened?

I don't know.

Looks like a tornado tore
through here overnight.

Good.
I mean, yeah.

It was just one of those freaky
nature things, right, Gwen?

I think it's pretty clear
who's responsible for these
juvenile acts.

Juvenile acts?
Huh.

If I didn't know better, that
sounds like--

Oh, I'm not talking about
these youngsters.

You're not?

Yeah, well, if they didn't do
it, who did?

Pffft!

Pffft!

What was that?

Megawatt.

MEGA what?

Exactly.

Normally wrapped up tight inside
of it--that is, until last
night.

Some say it might be a ball of
lightning come alive.

Others think it's static cling
run amok.

Tough to say.

Maybe it's an alien.

Alien?

That's just plain kooky talk.

What's it doing?

It eats electricity.

The more it gobbles, the more
powerful it gets.

It's also got a dangerous
sense of humor.

You left that thing inside a
rubber-band ball all this time?

Isn't that kind of dangerous?

Not so long as people
minded the signs.

All right, we did it.

We're guilty.

So much for admitting
nothing.

We're going to talk about
this later, you two, but for
now,

how do we stop this thing,
Mr. Mayor?

Whatcha mean, "we"?

You let it out.

You catch it.

Should we try to lure it out
with some batteries or
something?

Aah!

That's not funny.

It's just painful.

Don't worry, grandpa.

I know just the hero to deal
with a troublemaker like this.

Why go upgrade?
It's complicated.

You wouldn't understand.

Watch didn't let you change

into what you wanted it to,
did it?

Shut up.

Aah!

Hee hee hee!

OK, twinkletoes,
time to go home.

Hey, doofus,
whose side are you on?

Is it just me, or is there a
lot of excitement today?

Ha ha ha!

Oh, that's new.

Not so funny now, is it?

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Pbbbt!

Aah!

Do not touch me, electrical guy,

when you're made of living
metal.

How are we gonna ground that
electric devil?

Grandpa, you're a genius.

Thank you, Gwen.

Why?

That's it.

I'm pulling the plug on this
guy's pranks.

Hey, sparky, catch.

Ha ha ha!

OK, so that wasn't
the best idea.

Grandpa, what are you doing?

Giving these sparklers a
science lesson they won't
forget.

Ha ha ha!

Hey, megaweirds,
come and get us.

What happened?

We just used the biggest
thermometer as a lightning rod.

Who needs an alien superhero
when you've got good
old-fashioned brainpower?

Of course, the ground is
basically just one big
conductor.

What does that mean?

Oh, no. It means the
megawatts are just zipping
around underground

until they find some way to get
back to the surface.

They're in the underground
phone lines.

Ha ha ha!

Uh-oh.
Now they really did it.

Ben Tennyson,
don't say a word.

Hey, I'm just glad I wasn't
the one who screwed up this
time.

Ha ha ha ha!

Everybody move!

There goes the world's
largest toothpicks.

Oh, the humanity.

Ha ha ha!

Those creeps' idea of good,

clean fun is gonna have us all
pushing up daisies.

Don't just stand there,
doofus.

Dial up some help.

Duh, like I haven't
been trying?



Uh, where'd they go?

I don't know, but I don't
think it's good.

Well, there's something you
don't see every day.

They brought that planetarium
exhibit to life.

Come on.

We'll head it off in the--

Oh, my.

"u am lame"?

That's weak.

Don't even get me started on
the grammar and the spelling.

I reckon they'll head for the
big hydroelectric dam to power
up.

After that they'll just wipe out
the next town, and so on and so
on.

They think it's funny.

Yup, Megawatt's got a real
twisted sense of humor.

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

Yeah. b*at those pranksters
at their own game.

This is your only warning.

Knock off the funny business, or
I'll fry your twinkling butts.

Ha ha ha!

Better seal that up fast.

Hey, megawits!

You want to see something
really funny?

You guys are all wet.

What's the matter?

Can't take a joke?

You really got b*rned
with that one.

You guys should really quit
while you're behind.

Missed me, doofus.

Ben did it!

They took the bait.



Nah, nah.
Pfft!

Nice touch,
using the fish bowl.

With nonconductive glass, sealed
up tight, sparky and his pals
won't be going anywhere.

Once again, science
saves the day.

With a little help from
science fiction.

You folks done right by us.

Hope this adventure wasn't a
big setback for Sparksville.

More like a giant
step forward.

What with our new attraction,
soon we'll be raking them in.

Biggest light bulb.

It'll be a humdinger...

so long as folks mind the signs.

I think I'm pranked out
for a while.

There is a time and a place
for a practical joke.

But funny is funny, especially
when it's not on you.

Ha ha ha!
