YOUR SAFETY-DEPOSIT BOX, SIR.

A LITTLE BREATHING ROOM.

[ GUN COCKS, ELECTRONICS CHARGES ]
[ LASERS CHARGING ]

UGH! I CAN'T BELIEVE WE LOST HIM!
[ CHUCKLES ]
[ INSECTS CHIRPING ]
UGH.
[ SIGHS ] I WISH WE COULD FIND THE REMOTE.
THERE'S PROBABLY NOTHING ON ANYWAY.
WORST GUYS NIGHT EVER.
[ DOORBELL RINGS ]

NO WAY, BROS. I'M ALL SETTLED IN.
PIZZA DELIVERY
UH, WE DIDN'T ORDER --
IT'S ON THE HOUSE.
AW, SWEET! WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
WHY IS IT FREE?
OH, IT'S A GIFT FROM AN OLD FRIEND.
[ BOTH SHOUT ]
WHAT'S GOING ON?
UGH!
I HATE IT WHEN OLD GUYS DO THAT!
DON'T WORRY. ITS JUST ME!
NIKOLAI! Three: THOMAS!
OH, I GUESS NIKOLAI IS HIS REAL NAME.
BUT WE KNEW HIM AS THOMAS FIRST.
YEAH, LET'S GO WITH THAT.
All: THOMAS!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I'M HERE TO TAKE YOU OUT...
FOR A GOOD TIME!
I HAVE BECOME TIRED OF LIVING IN EXILE --
DANGER AROUND EVERY CORNER,
SECRET AGENTS HUNTING ME DOWN AT ALL COSTS.
IT'S LIKE, "I GET IT.
I BETRAYED YOUR COUNTRY, BUT COME ON ALREADY!"
MY POINT IS, I HAVE A PLAN TO ESCAPE ONCE AND FOR ALL.
I HAVE TO GET TO THIS RENDEZVOUS POINT.
THERE IS TRAIN BY THE OLD DAM
THAT I MUST BE ON AT MIDNIGHT EXACTLY.
THEN I WILL BE FREE OF MY PAST.
BUT FIRST, I WISHED TO SEE ALL OF YOU ONE LAST TIME.
TO HANG OUT WITH THE ONLY BUDDIES I'VE EVERY KNOWN.
THAT IS... IF YOU WANT TO HANG OUT WITH ME.
[ SNIFFLES, CLEARS THROAT ]
[ Voice breaking ] OF COURSE WE DO.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK
THOMAS WAS EVER AT A GUY'S NIGHT BEFORE.
YEAH, HE WAS.
HEY, THOMAS, GO GET US MORE CHIPS AT THE STORE.
[ SIGHS ] FINE.
[ DOOR OPENS, SHUTS ]
[ INSECTS CHIRPING ]
Muscle Man: JUST PUT THE CHIPS DOWN AND BACK AWAY SLOWLY.
OH, YEAH. SORRY ABOUT THAT, THOMAS.
ITS OKAY. I WAS AN INTERN.
WELL, GET READY, 'CAUSE YOU'RE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE
GUY'S NIGHT CLASSIC STYLE!
GUYS NIGHT!
GUYS NIGHT?
All: GUY'S NIGHT!
[ SYNTH MUSIC PLAYS ]
[ ALL CHEERING ]
[ LAUGHS ]
WAIT, CHECK THIS ONE OUT!
All: WHOA!
I LEARNED THAT IN TURKEY.
HOW?
YOU GET CREATIVE WHEN YOU'RE BEING CHASED
BY A TEAM OF NINJA ASSASSINS.
[ SIGHS ] YOU ARE SO COOL NOW.
MY LIFE IS NOT ALL COOL.
WELL I SHOULD PROBABLY GO TO MY RENDEZVOUS POINT NOW.
All: AW! YOU MUST STAY.
BUT I ONLY HAVE ONE HOUR BEFORE I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THERE.
ONE HOUR? THAT'S TONS OF TIME.
YEAH, MAN, JUST COME OUT TO WING KINGDOM
FOR ONE LAST MEAL BEFORE YOU GO.
YEAH! WING KINGDOM!
[ ALL CHANTING "WING KINGDOM" ]
AW, ALL RIGHT.
[ ALL CHEER ]
BUT I WILL HAVE TO WEAR MY MASK TO GO OUT IN PUBLIC.
THE SECRET AGENTS -- THEY STILL THIRST FOR MY BLOOD.
ONCE I GET ON THAT TRAIN,
I'LL BE ABLE TO GO FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY,
MAYBE SAMPLING CHICKEN WINGS FROM EACH CULTURE.
DUDE, IF THAT'S WHAT YOUR LIFE IS GONNA BE LIKE,
THEN SIGN ME UP!
MY LIFE IS VERY DANGEROUS.
THERE IS DEATH LURKING EVERYWHERE.
I HAVE TO LIVE UNDER THE RADAR --
NO DOCUMENTS, NO PAPERS, NO IDENTITY.
I CAN'T EVEN GET VIDEO-STORE MEMBERSHIP.
EW. THAT BLOWS. OH, MY!
I ENVY YOUR LIFE AT THE PARK.
IT IS NICE -- SIMPLE.
I'VE NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT LIKE THAT,
BUT, YOU KNOW, WITH SKILLS LIKE YOURS, THOMAS,
YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH DO ANYTHING.
AND ONCE YOU MAKE IT TO THE RENDEZVOUS POINT TONIGHT,
YOU'RE FREE.
YOU CAN MAKE WHATEVER LIFE YOU WANT.
YES, PERHAPS I EVEN RUN MY OWN VIDEO STORE!
THAT'S THE SPIRIT, THOMAS!
YEAH!
YEAH, YOU'VE GOT TIME TO FIGURE IT OUT.
TO OLD FRIENDS AND NEW BEGINNINGS.
[ ALL CHEER ]
PLEASE, ALLOW ME TO PAY FOR THIS FEAST.
OH, NO, NO, NO, NO.
YOUR NON-MARKED, NON-CONSECUTIVE BILLS ARE NO GOOD HERE.
OH, COME ON, GUYS.
WE GOT THIS.
I'M SUPPOSED TO TAKE YOU OUT.
WELL, THANK YOU ALL FOR MAKING THIS A GREAT NIGHT.
I WILL CHERISH IT ALWAYS.
BUT YOU CAN'T CHERISH IT IF YOU DON'T HAVE A WING.
YEAH, YOU HAVEN'T HAD A WING ALL NIGHT.
OH YES, IT'S JUST REALLY HARD TO EAT WITH THIS MASK,
BUT I GUESS ONE WING COULD NOT HURT.
AHH, MUCH BETTER.
WHA--?
THE OLD CROW IS BACK ON THE PLAYGROUND.
IN PURSUIT!
RUN!
GET TO THE CAR!
YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE.
BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU?
I CAN HANDLE THESE GUYS. JUST GO!
GET IN THE CAR!
WE CAN HELP YOU GET TO THE RENDEZVOUS POINT!
[ LASER CHARGES ]
UH, OKAY, GOOD PLAN.
[ TIRES SQUEAL ]
HOW WE DOING ON TIME?
IT IS GOOD.
WE SHOULD MAKE IT IF WE KEEP GOING LIKE THIS.
OH, DEAR!
[ WHIMPERS ]
AAH!!
BAD SHOW!
[ TIRES SCREECH ]

[ ALL GASP ]
I WILL TAKE THE WHEEL!
[ GRUNTS ]
All: WHOA!
WHOO! YEAH!
[ ENGINE REVS ]
[ BEEP ]
WHAT WAS IN THOSE BOXES?!
THESE NIGHT JOBS, I TELL YA!
WHA-WHA-WHA-WHA!
BETTER GET TIME AND A HALF FOR THIS ONE!
TH-TH-TH-THE --
MAYBE WE SHOULD'VE MOVED THIS WITH THE TRUCK.
[ GASPS ]
WHOA! A CAR CHASE!
[ GASPS ]
I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED THIS TEXT FROM EILEEN!
YOU'D BETTER HOLD ON TO THAT.
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
WHOA!
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
NOT AGAIN!
GET INSIDE! QUICKLY.
[ PANTING ]
Man: THERE'S NOWHERE TO RUN. GIVE YOURSELF UP.
[ ALL SHOUT ]
INTO THE TUNNEL!
[ ALL GASP ]
[ TRAIN HORN BLARES ]
MY RENDEZVOUS POINT!
I'LL HAVE TO JUMP FOR IT.
WHAT? THOMAS, THAT'S CRAZY!
YOU'LL NEVER MAKE IT, BRO!
Man: OVER HERE!
I HAVE TO TRY.
IT IS MY LAST SHOT AT FREEDOM!
SO IS THIS...GOODBYE?
BUDDIES DO NOT SAY "GOODBYE".
THEY SAY, "SEE YOU LATER, BUDDY!"
WE'LL NEVER FORGET YOU DUDE.
SORRY WE COULDN'T HAVE HAD A GUYS NIGHT SOONER.
THIS IS THE BEST GUYS NIGHT EVER THANKS TO YOU.
WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE BEEN THIS COOL BEFORE YOU LEFT?
I WAS, MUSCLE MAN. I WAS.
[ SOBS ]
[ Voice breaking ] EXCUSE ME.
I THINK I HAVE SOMETHING IN MY EYE.
[ TRAIN HORN BLOWING ]
NO!
GUUUUYYYSSSS
NIIIIGHHHTTT!!
THOMAS.
OUT OF THE WAY!
THE OLD CROW IS SILENT.
COMMENCE CLEAN UP OPERATION.
WE WERE NEVER HERE.
IS HE REALLY...?
HE WAS A TRUE GUY'S GUY.
**
All: HUH?
THOMAS!
BUT THE TRAIN!
THIS WAS REAL RENDEZVOUS POINT.
YOU HAD TO KNOW AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE FOR YOUR SAFETY.
NOW I AM TRULY FREE.
THANK YOU ALL.
All: GUYS NIGHT!
GUYS NIGHT!
[ DIVING ALARM BLARES ]
MAN, THAT WAS THE BEST GUYS NIGHT EVER.
INDEED.
WAIT, GUYS NIGHT?
GUYS NIGHT?
All: GUYS NIGHT!
[ SONAR PINGING ]
SORRY, GARY, I CAN'T.
I'M CLEANING OUT MY GARAGE TODAY.
BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD A GUYS NIGHT OUT IN AGES,
AND WE'RE PASSING RIGHT THROUGH YOUR GALAXY.
I TOLD YOU I CAN'T GO.
WHOA! RIGBY, GET OVER HERE.
LET ME GUESS, SOME MORE OLD JUNK --
WHOA!
[ ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYING ]
DUDE, THAT IS THE COOLEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN.
SO COOL.
NO, DUDE! LOOK!
[ SCOFFS ] HOW MANY TIMES HAS TOUCHING STUFF
WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO CAUSED A PROBLEM?
LIKE, EVERY TIME, DUDE.
WELL, MAYBE THIS TIME, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.
WATCH.
[ VOLUME INCREASES ]
COOL!COOL!
[ TONE CHANGES ]
NICE.
HMM.
[ EFFECTS CHANGE ] YES, YES, YES, YES!
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
[ TONE AND EFFECTS CHANGING RAPIDLY ]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! THAT'S GARY'S SYNTHESIZER!
[ TIRES SQUEAL, CRASH ]
[ GROANING ]
ARE YOU GUYS OKAY?
WE'RE FINE.
-WHERE'S GARY? -WELL...
WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO THE GALACTIC MALL...
COME ON, SKIPS.
...WHEN GARY STRAIGHT-UP DISAPPEARED!
OH!
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE STICK!
WHOA!
ONLY ONE THING COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS!
WHICH ONE OF YOU MESSED WITH HIS SYNTHESIZER?
UH...MESSED WITH?
I MEAN, WE MIGHT HAVE UNPLUGGED SOME CABLES.
FOOLS! THAT DEVICE SYNTHESIZES
GARY'S PHYSICAL BEING INTO EXISTENCE!
SO GARY'S DEAD?
NO. HIS CONSCIOUS STILL RESIDES WITHIN THE SYNTH.
BUT UNTIL YOU PUT THE CABLES BACK TO MAKE THE CORRECT PATCH,
THE DEVICE WON'T PROJECT HIS PHYSICAL FORM.
IT'S COOL. WE'LL JUST PUT IT BACK THE WAY IT WAS.
HOW HARD CAN IT BE?
[ MUSIC PLAYS RAPIDLY ]
SKIPS?
OH, NO, NO. CAN'T HELP YOU HERE.
JUST PLUG BACK THE CABLES YOU UNPLUGGED.
RIGHT.
PIECE OF CAKE.
[ MUSIC CHANGING ]
Both: HMM. HM-HM-HM!
[ TONE PLAYS ]
[ SHATTERS ]
MY PRICELESS GLASS HARMONICA!
ANY SIGN OF GARY? NO?
WHY WOULD GARY LEAVE SUCH AN IMPORTANT THING
IN SKIPS' GARAGE?
THAT'S IT!
YOU MUST TRAVEL TO GARY'S HOME WORLD OF SYNTHOS
TO RE-CREATE THE SYNTH PATCH TO BRING HIM BACK.
Both: WAIT, WHAT?! AHH!
Both: WHOA!
**
WELCOME, NEW ARRIVALS, TO SYNTH CITY.
I'M DAVID, KING AND RULER OF SYNTHOS.
'SUP? I'M RIGBY. I'M THE KING OF EARTH.
OH! OW!
WELCOME, EARTH AMBASSADORS. I TRUST YOU CAN --
[ GASPS ] OH.
HEY, BARE CHEST, BARE CHEST.
TWINS.
[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]
THAT ONE'S GOING IN THE ALBUM.
WILL YOU BE WITH US FOR LONG?
NO, WE UNPLUGGED A PATCH ON THIS THING,
AND WE JUST NEED HELP RESYNTHESIZING OUR FRIEND.
MM. SHAME.
WELL, SEEING AS YOU ARE
THE NEWEST ALIEN AMBASSADORS WE HAVE,
YOU MAY CONSIDER YOURSELVES MY HONORED GUESTS.
LET'S HEAD BACK TO MY OFFICE
AND SEE IF WE CAN GET YOU SORTED OUT.
[ SYNTH MUSIC PLAYING ]
David: AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE A SOCIETY IN WHICH
ALL OUR SYNTHIZENS PLAY MUSIC IN PERFECT HARMONY.
[ MUSIC CONTINUES ]
MM. NOT A NOTE OUT OF PLACE.
[ DISSONANT NOTE PLAYS ]
[ GASPS ]
[ MELODY PLAYS ]
DISCORD DETECTED.
DISCORD IS COOL!
[ GASPS ]
DISCORD IS THE LIFEBLOOD OF MODERN MUSIC!
WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?
HE ENDED HIS SONG ON AN UNRESOLVED SEVENTH.
IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE THAT INTO A HARMONIOUS SOUND.
I'M SORRY YOU HAD TO HEAR THAT.
LET US CONTINUE TO THE PALACE.
[ GRUNTING ]
SKIPS, THIS IS GETTING REALLY HEAVY.
COULD YOU JUST CARRY IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE?
DID I KILL GARY?
NO.NO.
THEN THERE'S YOUR ANSWER.
David: THIS IS HAMMOND HALL,
THE PORTRAIT SPACE OF ALL OUR PREVIOUS HEADS OF STATE
RANGING FROM MOOGINIAS VANGELIWERK
TO LADY TRONRODER, ALL THE WAY UP TO...
TO MYSELF, OF COURSE.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
-IT'S OKAY, I GUESS. -IT LOOKS LIKE YOU, I GUESS.
CAN YOU JUST TAKE US TO YOUR OFFICE
SO WE CAN RESYNTHESIZE OUR FRIEND?
A MAN OF BUSINESS.
LET'S GET TO IT.
SO YOU NEED TO RELOAD YOUR FRIEND'S PATCH.
WELL, YOU BOYS DO SEEM TO HAVE A BIT OF A PROBLEM, DON'T YOU?
YEAH, AND WE'RE REALLY SORRY,
BUT COULD WE PLEASE SET THIS DOWN SOMEWHERE?
[ CHUCKLES ] I KNOW YOU'RE NEW HERE,
BUT I'M AFRAID SETTING THAT ON THE FLOOR
WOULD CREATE A DISCORDANT TONE.
UGH! STUPID REALLY COOL FLOOR!
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIS PATCH COMBINATION?
HIS BASE WAVE FORM?
WELL, HERE'S A PICTURE OF HIM.
HMM.
AH. YES.
YES, I DO REMEMBER HIM.
HIS NAME IS GARETH, CORRECT?
WE MUST GET TO THE RESYNTHESIZING STUDIO AT ONCE!
AND RIGHT THROUGH HERE IS THE RESYNTHESIZING STUDIO.
HEY. WHAT ARE THOSE GUYS DOING HERE?
[ MELODY PLAYS ]
HUH?HUH?
I'M SORRY, BUT I SIMPLY CAN'T
LET YOU RESYNTHESIZE GARY.
HE'S THE MOST WANTED CRIMINAL IN ALL OF SYNTHOS.
All: WHAT?!
HIS EXPERIMENTAL JAM SESSIONS
NEARLY DESTROYED THIS WORLD.
AND YOUR ASSOCIATION WITH HIM MAKES YOU ALL CRIMINALS AS WELL.
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO US?
OH, THE SAME THING WE DO WITH ALL DISCORDANTS --
YOU'LL BE SHOT INTO OUR SUN, THE SYNTH STAR.
CIAO, BABY.
-HEY! HEY, LET US OUT! -NO!
Crowd: DESTROY THEM!
-KILL THEM! -DESTROY THEM!
LARGE TURNOUT FOR OUR EXECUTION.
YES, QUITE.
10 SECONDS TO LAUNCH.
DON'T BOTHER. THERE'S NO WAY
YOU'RE PUNCHING THROUGH THAT FUTURISTIC MATERIAL.
I BELIEVE YOU TERRANS CALL IT "TEMPERED GLASS."
GLASS.
GUYS, YOUR PATCH FROM THE GARAGE!
10, 9, 8, 7...
[ HIGH-PITCHED TONE ] ...6...
HMM. DIG THAT CRAZY SOUND.
...4, 3, 2...
YOU'LL DIE!
[ GASPING, MURMURING ]
-THAT'S HIM! -IT'S GARETH!
THAT'S GARETH'S SYNTHESIZER.
YEAH, YOU GUYS KNOW HIM?
HE'S THE RIGHTFUL KING OF SYNTHOS.
WHAT? HE'S NOT A CRIMINAL?
NO.
AFTER GARETH'S DISAPPEARANCE 200 YEARS AGO,
DAVID SEIZED THE THRONE.
BEFORE LONG, HE COMPLETELY OUTLAWED ANYTHING CHALLENGING.
WE'VE LONG AWAITED THE RETURN OF GARETH
AND HIS FORWARD-THINKING TASTE IN MUSIC.
[ GASPS ] THE PATCH -- THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED!
NOW YOU KNOW THE TRUTH.
I WON'T LET YOU RESYNTHESIZE GARETH.
[ MELODY PLAYS ]
YOU GUYS WORK ON GARY'S PATCH!
GUYS, WE NEED TO COPY THE HOLOGRAM!
Both: HM-HM-HM! HM-HM-HM!
[ GRUNTING ]
DONE!
[ TONE PLAYS ]
WE ALMOST GOT IT!
TRY THE RING MODULATOR.
-THE WHAT? -THE ROUND ONE
WITH THE KNOBBY THING ON IT.
OOH!
JAM SESSION'S OVER, BOYS.
SKIPS!
RIGBY, THE LOW-PASS FILTER!
[ GASPS ] NO!
-IT'S GARY! -[ GASPS ]
IT'S HIM. IT'S REALLY HIM.
I'M SO EXCITED I CAN BARELY CONTAIN MYSELF.
HELLO, DAVID, MY HALF-BROTHER.
[ ALL GASP ]
OH, HELLO, GARETH.
SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
DON'T PLAY COY WITH ME.
I HEARD EVERYTHING, DAVID, AND IT'S NOT COOL.
DUDE, ARE YOU REALLY THE KING OF SYNTHOS?
I'M BACK.
SO IT APPEARS AS THOUGH I AM.
SYNTHIZENS OF SYNTHOS,
I FORMALLY CHALLENGE DAVID'S RIGHT TO THE THRONE.
YOU'LL RUE THIS DAY, GARETH.
[ DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS ]
[ CHANTING "GARY" ]
HUH?
[ DISCORDANT NOTES PLAY ]
DISCORD!
IT'S...IMPOSSIBLE!
NOTHING'S IMPOSSIBLE THROUGH MUSIC.
[ GRUNTS ]
LAUNCH RESUMED.
THANK YOU.
DID YOU JUST KILL YOUR HALF-BROTHER?
I MERELY DESTROYED HIS PHYSICAL FORM.
DON'T WORRY. WE'VE GOT THIS.
DUDE, THAT'S DARK.
IT IS THE WAY OF SYNTHOS.
Robert: WHY DID YOU LEAVE US, GARETH?
I HID MY SYNTHESIZER IN SKIPS' GARAGE
TO ENCOURAGE MYSELF TO TRAVEL THE GALAXY
BEFORE RETURNING AS YOUR KING.
BUT IF THERE'S ONE THING I'VE LEARNED IN MY TRAVELS,
IT'S THAT YOU CAN'T ROCK WITH RULES.
I MAY BE YOUR KING, BUT I AM NOT YOUR RULER.
FROM THIS DAY FORTH, THERE SHALL BE NO RULER OF SYNTHOS.
LET MUSIC GUIDE YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAYS.
-TRULY LEGENDARY. -HE'LL ALWAYS BE KING OF MY HEART.
-LEGENDARY! -WOW!
SORRY WE CHANGED YOUR PATCH, GARY.
YEAH. WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN PROBABLY.
REAL ROCK STARS HAVE NO NEED FOR APOLOGIES.
NOW, LET'S BLOW THIS SCENE.
WINGS ARE ON ME.
OH, FINALLY!
NOW CAN WE PLEASE GO TO THE MALL?
