1x19 - Store 23
Huh?
Ben: Aah! [ squawks ]
Ben: Are we really fighting over stolen eggs?
Brr... I can't help myself.
Ben: [ grunts ]
Max: Ohh!
[ clucks ]
Huh?
Feedback: It's hero time!
[ camera shutter clicks ]
[ clucks ]
Max: Ben, there's a lot of worried Vaxasaurian parents
right now. What are you doing?
Feedback: A sweet Ben 10 video that's about to go viral.
Check it out. Over the shoulder.
[ whimpers ]
[ squawks ]
Feedback: Chicken dance!
[ clucking ]
Max: Ben, cool your jets!
Don't toy with the villains. Contain them!
[ Omnitrix powers down ]
And even after all this time, wearing
the most powerful weapon in the universe ...
Ben: And I still don't understand the responsibility I have.
This is the same lecture I've heard since I was 10.
They're bad, I'm good ... the end.
I'm getting a smoothy.
[ clucking ]
[ electricity crackles ]
Ben: Blukic, Driba, it's time.
M-Mr. Smoothy.
[ gasps ]
At last! We're finally gonna find that elusive store 23!
The very thought makes me belch in anticipation!
[ belches ]
Me, too.

Hmm. This could be a wild, omnivoracious chase.
The Mr. Smoothy's website makes no mention of a 23rd store.
No phone listing, either.
Ben: But we've seen store 23 on your GPS.
On and off, here and there, and in different places.
Perhaps we're after a Mr. Smoothy roach coach.
[ beeping ]
- You're getting a call. - Ben: Uh, let it go to voice mail.
[ computer beeping ]
Just as I feared. Only 22 Mr. Smoothys.
- No, there it is. - Ben: What's the address?
Whoops, it's gone again.
No, I saw the cross streets. Corner of Pugsley and Klein.
[ horns blare ]
Both: Ohh!
[ sloop! ]
[ both groan ]
It's gone!
Ben: Huh.
[ groans ]
Clearly, this is no ordinary Mr. Smoothy.
Ben: Aah!
[ door creaks ]
[ bell dinging ]
Cow: Oh, pooh! Will nobody come out to serve us?
Chicken: Sister, you just said a mouthful of something.
I'm out of here.
[ bell dings ]
Both: [ scream ]
That was a cross-dimensional sunburst aurora.
- No, it wasn't. - Yes, it was!
Not a sunburst. More of a pinwheel shape.
A pinwheel aurora? That's worse!
[ hissing, grunting, clanging ]
[ sloop! sloop! sloop! ]
You ... oh, you infernal contraption!
Why must you fail during business hours?!
Ben: Professor Hokestar?
Ohh!
Why, Ben Tennyson!
[ chuckles ] Welcome to my place of business!
Ben: You opened a Mr. Smoothy that moves from place to place?
Wha-a-t? No, no, no, no, my boy!
Behold, and hopefully endorse,
a Mr. Smoothy that exists in every dimension at once...
Just as soon as I get this warp-field generator working!
Ben: So it's a Mr. Smoothy that moves from place to place.
We're not moving between places.
We're staying in one place while rotating through different dimensions.
This is a dimension-skipping Mr. Smoothy.
[ explosion ]
Not anymore it isn't.
Now, let us discover just where we have been stranded,
and let us hope we have the only smoothy joint.
Looks like Bellwood.
Look! There's even an alien making trouble!
[ tires screech ]
- Ben Tennyson! - Ben: Right here, Tetrax.
Want to take a deep breath and tell me what's going on?
Huh? Who are you?
Ben 23: Move it, yokel!
Stick a fork in yourself, alien scum. You're toast!
Ben: Huh?
Attention, attention!
Ben 23 has found another evil-alien threat.
Which hero will our champion turn into?
Well, if no one else will say it, this must be a dimension
that closely parallels our own.
- Oh, I hate those. - The worst!
At first, everything looks normal, but then, "wham!"
You find out that super-Intelligent dolphins won
the civil war, and pretty soon we all end up in an alien zoo!
Ben 23: All right, you off-world hater, you're about to get beat by...
Articguana: Freeze Lizard!
It's Freeze Lizard! If your club card says
"Freeze Lizard," stop by any Mr. Gyro for a free 32-ounce soda!
Mr. Gyro ... Ben 23's favorite place on Earth.
- Ben: Mr. Gyro? - Every single place that's a
Mr. Smoothy in our universe is a Mr. Gyro in this universe!
Articguana: Last time, I took your hover board, alien.
Now I'll take your ... ohh!
Hey, man. Not cool!
[ people screaming ]
Ben: Should I interfere? I might change history.
This is dimension travel, not time travel.
Ben: Oh. Yeah.
Ben 23: It's Gyro time!
[ people cheering ]
Ben: You guys stay behind and help fix the store's generator.
It's as good as done.
Maybe better.
Fix it? Whatever for?
I won't be leaving here for some time.
Did you not hear what they said? No Mr. Smoothys!
Ben: Professor, I'm not too sure they like aliens here.
We'd all better keep a low profile.
Ben 23: It got a little drastic there for a while, will,
but I just kept thinking of the fans.
Ben: [ clears throat ]
Ben 23: ... and the new Ben 23 poster free with every large aegean meal!
It's better than the best!
It's Ben ... insanely, completely Ben, yeah!
[ rumbling ]
[ people screaming ]
Xlr8: I got him.
Ben 23: Hold it, alien! Who are you?
Did the Intellectuary send you?
Xlr8: The who-tellectuary? Never heard of him, but don't worry.
Ben: I think you and I are sort of related.
- Ben 23: Dude! - Ben: I know, right?
Intellectuary, there's a second Ben Tennyson.
Intellectuary: Unexpected, but not unforeseeable.
We will take care of them both.
- Good morning, sir. - Good morning.
Ben 23: Ben 10, huh? I'm 13 better than that ...
the richest, most famous guy in the world!
I'm basically in charge.
Ben: Yeah, not quite the same setup in my dimension.
Ben 23: That's too bad.
You'd really like being the world's greatest hero.
Ben: I'm that, but not the other ... famous.
Well, I am famous, but not rich and...
Ben 23: Hey, this is my guest. Load him up!
Ben 23 pennants, poster, bumper stickers, t-shirts, hamster
cages, stuffed gyros, oh, and a pocket watch.
Ben: Man, you must really love your gyros.
Ben 23: [ scoffs ]
Yokel food. You want some?
These guys will hook you up for free.
Ben: Yeah, I'm more of a smoothy guy.
Ben 23: Smoothies? Yuck! [ transponder rings ]
Frank! I'm at store 55, and there aren't any more movie cups!
It opens in a month!
All right. Get me that car endorsement!
There used to be a place that sold smoothies.
I turned into giant-manster and accidentally stepped on it.
Ben: Not into smoothies ... got it.
Ben 23: So why only Ben 10? Is that all the aliens you got?
Ben: It used to be 10. Now I have more than 70.
Ben 23: Yeah, I don't really have just 23 aliens.
More like, uh, fif... uh, 90! How do you roll yours out?
Ben: Huh? I hit the watch.
Ben 23: No, I mean, how do you stoke the demand?
No more autographs!
[ sobbing ]
Ben 23: Always leave them wanting more.
Know what I'm saying?
Ben: While you're busy stoking your demand, what
happens if a heavy hitter like Vilgax attacks? [ bell dings ]
- Ben 23: Never heard of him. - Who ordered the calamari?
[ metal clanking ]
Driba, my boy, a share in store 23 could be profitable,
yes, yes, yes ... quite profitable, indeed...
[ chuckles ]
...for the right buyer.
I'm not about the profit! I'm about the avoid being chased
by an alien mob and put in an alien zoo!
Warp us out of here, Mr. Blukic!
That ought to hold. Stand back.
[ machine powers up ]
[ hissing ]
What's the recursive quantum delineator reading?
23. Hmm...
23rd dimension, 23 on the delineator, store 23, Ben 23.
- Something's going on here. - Numeric concatenation.
You could argue it's the basis for all physics.
- No, you can't. - Yes, you can.
- No, you can't. - But the point is you can argue.
[ bell dings ]
[ metal squeaking ]
- A lady. - A paying customer?
- Ohh, but I am obviously an alien. - Well, I'm not going out there.
[ whimpers ]
Nuh-unh!
[ shudders ]
- You and your alien zoo! - Mama Driba didn't raise no fools.
[ bell dings ]
Just a moment! Ohh.
Ben 23: See?
A little mystery, a little sucker bait. "Who is alien 24?"
Ben: Looks like Feedback.
Ben 23: Whoa, great name. I was gonna go with "Plug-man."
So, when Feedback is revealed, guess what I do? That's right!
I stop using one alien, he goes back into the Ben 23 vault for
a few years, and then he makes a big comeback.
Ben: Uh-huh.
[ beeping ]
Max: Ben. Call me when you get this.
Ben 23: Whoa. Was that grandpa Max?
I haven't thought about him in years.
Ben: Wait, there's no grandpa here?
- How'd you learn to use that Omnitrix? - Ben 23: You mean my hero watch?
Turns me into Ben aliens so I can fight the evil monster hater aliens.
Nothing to learn. I've been thinking, though.
[ explosion ]
[ alarm blaring ]
[ people screaming ]
Maybe you flash me some more of your aliens, you know, in case
there's, like, one I haven't unlocked yet.
Shocksquatch: Now, let's put a pin in that!
Ben 23: Oh, I already got that one.
Hey, we got cops for crooks and stuff.
Shocksquatch: Well, you can't just let them get away.
Ben 23: Ugh.
Just hold them off till I call in the cameras?
[ tires squeal ]
[ electricity crackles ]
Ben 23: Dude, that was completely Ben!
Boom! Bye-bye, thug-mobile!
Now what? You just wait for the cops or something?
Shocksquatch: Cops? Or Plumbers.
Ben 23: Plumbers? Why, you break a toilet somewhere?
Shocksquatch: [ screeches ]
Greetings, fellow hu-man.
We ... I was using the Earth facilities.
[ squeak! ]
Would you like a grasshopper smoothy?
Push the bananaberry kelp, my boy. We have tons of it!
Aliens! He-e-e-elp!
[ bell dinging, door creaking ]
[ Omnitrix flashes ]
Ben 23: Vomit Man. Mr. Mucky.
Don't know him. Dog-nab-it!
- That's a pun, get it? - Ben: I'm starting to get it.
Ben 23: Hey, my agent has an idea.
We should do a team-up. I'm thinking reality show.
We both got evil aliens to catch and Ben aliens to do it with.
Ben: A little more to it than that.
Ben 23: Sure, there's the Intellectuary, too ...
always after your hero watch.
Ben: Ben, these aliens you turn into ... they're not the only good ones.
Where I come from, aliens aren't automatically evil monsters.
Some just live in town, like my best friend.
Ben 23: Mind ... blown.
[ whooshing sound ]
Attention, attention! We have another alien attack!
Which hero will our champion turn into? Rollaway!
- Cannonball: Whoa! - Ben: Hang on, Ben.
Xlr8: Take him down, Ben.
[ crowd cheering ]
Ben 23: [ gasps ]
Xlr8: Huh?
- Ben 23: I'm gonna blow up! - Xlr8: Don't worry.
Just got to run through all the possible codes.
[ roars ]
[ car alarm blares ]
Xlr8: Cover your ears!
[ crowd cheering ]
Ben 23: Dude, I can't thank you enough.
But now it's Gyro time!
Intellectuary: Tennyson!
Both: Oh, man!
Shocksquatch: Electricyeti!
Heatblast: I call this one "Heatblast."
Shocksquatch: Oh, nice! I had Charcoal-man.
[ groans ]
Ohh, this dweeb is mine.
Aah!
[ roars ]
[ alarm blaring ]
Hey! I wonder where the news cameras are.
Attention, citizens.
An entire nest of evil aliens has been discovered!
Aliens, you have 30 seconds till we come in after you.
Heatblast: Ohh!
[ grumbles ]
Both: [ screaming ]
Heatblast: Let's wrap this up!
[ pavement hissing, bubbling ]
Ohh!
[ alarm blaring ]
[ Omnitrix beeping ]
Aah!
- Ben: Azmuth! - Ben 23: Make a wish, alien! I'm a ...
Ben: Ben, cool your jets!
- This guy created your watch. - Ben 23: The hero watch?
[ groans ]
It's called an Omnitrix.
- Ben 23: Hey! - You're rich, and you haven't
killed anybody yet, kid. Stop while you're ahead.
Ben 23: Don't be hatin'! It's mine!
Ohh!
It was meant for your grandfather.
Ben 23: That doesn't... you knew grandpa Max?
Yes, sadly, it arrived too late. He was already gone.
And it looks like other realities have suffered the same fate.
Ben: Nope, I've still got my Max.
He gives me advice, keeps me from... from becoming you, I guess.
Ben 23: Hey! That's not fair!
- I... I miss grandpa Max. - Of course you do.
Merchandise and endorsements are no substitute.
- Ben 23: Who asked you, alien?! - Ben: Ben, you don't get it!
You just almost crossed a line ... one there's no coming back from.
Ben 23: Okay, whatever, I get it. The little monster's not evil.
- Ben: So what you did was... - Ben 23: Wrong. But ...
Ben: No buts. You're gonna start acting your age
'cause I know you want to be a hero more than a mogul.
- Ben 23: Says Ben blen! - Ben: Says me, who is you.
Ben 23: Well, how am I supposed to know the good aliens
from the bad ones? I don't have a grandpa. You do.
There are other people out there who can help.
You're not alone.
We just couldn't penetrate that tough skull of yours.
Ben 23: Sorry I tried to rip you in half.
Yes, but in another dimension, another you found
a better use for another Omnitrix. We need to explore that.
Ben: I think this is yours.
[ police radio chatter ]
On three! One, two ...
Ben 23: Stop! I'll vouch for this store and the monsters inside.
Ben: At least he didn't say "evil monster hater aliens."
It's a start.
Ben 23: And now that I've saved the day, it's ...
- Ben: Smoothy time! - Oh, my, my, my, my, my!
What a booming business! [ chuckles ]
Cleaned out of every flavor of Mr. Smoothy, but smelt petunia.
Well, some people just don't like smelt.
- Oh, well, well, well. - That'll do.
Now switch off the stabilizers between dimensions.
You've been doing the equivalent of stepping on the brake and the
- accelerator at the same time. - I feel silly.
Truly, you are the first thinker, parallel-world Azmuth.
And you're brilliant scientists...
Both: Ooh!
...by Earth standards.
For a couple of Galvans, you're remarkably unintelligent.
Both: Ohh.
Ben: Listen to this guy like you'd listen to Max.
I don't want to have to come back and save your butt... or kick it.
Ben 23: You don't have to worry about me.
The only big enemy I ever had was the Intellectuary.
And it turns out he wasn't bad.
So what could go wrong now? Nothing.
Nothing could possibly go wrong.
[ all groan ]
- You okay? - Ben: Yeah.
Truly, this is not the universe we know.
Ben: Which reminds me, I've got some unfinished business back home.
Leave now?
Oh, but ... but, my boy, this store just started paying off!
[ crowd cheering ]
Ohh, look at them ... sipping a Smoothy like they were born to it!
Oh, my lad, what a lost opportunity for profit!
- Ben: Grandpa Max! - Max: Ben.
You can't just take off like that without letting anybody
know where you're going. You're gonna be 17, for crying out ...
Ohh, why are you looking at me like that?
Ben: Nothing. Just keep yelling at me.
Max: [ laughs ]
Well, okay.
