[Rigby is driving home from work in his car. The car he is driving resembles a red Volvo 740. Inside the car, Rigby is seen singing along to the radio.]
Rigby: (Singing) BABYEEE, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey...
[We get a short overview of Rigby driving by some houses in a neighborhood before the camera goes back to the car again, where Rigby is still singing.]
Rigby: ...And now that your rose is in the bloom – a light hits the gloom on the (screams) GRAYAAAAAAHHHH!!!
[Suddenly, Rigby hastily presses down the brake and his car comes to a quick stop. It is shown that he was inches away from crashing right into an orange Lamborghini parked right outside his house.]
[Inside the car, Rigby has face-planted right into the steering wheel while "Kiss from a rose" is still playing on the radio.]
Rigby: (Looks up) Ugh... (Puts hand on his forehead) what... happened?
[Rigby takes out the car keys, exits his car and walks up to the Lamborghi that he was close to driving right into. He stares at it in awe.]
Rigby: Woaaaahhhh...
[Rigby then notices the custom number plate on the Lamborghini. It says "SUG4R" on it, meaning that it is Rigby's little brother Don's car.]
Rigby: (Smirks) Heh, they really couldn't keep it a secret that it was my birthday today!
[Rigby walks inside his house, which seems to look abnormally empty. Rigby throws his car keys away and starts looking around.]
Rigby: Eileen, I'm home! Honey!? Kids!? Don!? (Annoyed) Ugh... they're probably in the backyard...
[Rigby opens the back door to the terrace and...]
Everyone: SURPRISE!!!
[...he gets met with all his friends waiting for him in the backyard: His wife Eileen, Mordecai, Margaret, High-Five ghost, Starla, Benson, Muscle Man and many, many more.]
Eileen: Happy birthday, honey!
Mordecai: (In a sing-song voice) We baked you your favorite cake!
[Mordecai shows Rigby's birthday cake, with Rigby's face drawn on it with chocolate frosting.]
Rigby: Aw, sweet! Chocolate mudcake!!
[It cuts to everyone at the long table that has been carried out for the birthday party. Rigby blows out the candles and everyone claps.]
[A while later, Rigby is seen completely stuffed from the birthday cake, as he has finished off his plate.]
Rigby: Ahh, that was de-licious!!
[Eileen approaches Rigby as she's cleaning off the table. Muscle man runs by as he is playing with his kids, chasing them.]
Eileen: So what birthday wish did you make, honey?
Rigby: (Happily) My birthday wish is that everyday turns out to be just as great as this one! Thanks for making my birthday special every year, Eileen..
Eileen: Awww!
[Rigby and Eileen hugs eachother sweetly. Eileen then walks away, continuing to clean off the table.]
[Mordecai, sitting next to him leans closer to Rigby as he is drinking from his cup.]
Mordecai: (Whispers) Dude, check out your brother over there. He looks extra fancy today!
[Rigby looks over to Don, who is dressed up in a fancy suit jacket and sunglasses. He is also seen stressfully typing on a laptop.]
Rigby: Woah... he sure looks like he has alot of things to do...
Mordecai: Yeah, that's the price you get for being successful in life, I guess...
Rigby: (Hops off his chair) I'm gonna go talk to him!
[Rigby walks over to Don, still typing on his laptop.]
Rigby: (Cheerfully) Hey hey hey, bro! Thanks for coming today!
[Don looks up from his work and notices Rigby. He stands up from his seat and greets him.]
Don: Rigbone! Happy birthday big bro! Of course I would do anything for my sibling!
Rigby: (Smiles) Thanks, Don! Now give me some sugar, will ya!?
Don: Hehe, of course!
[Rigby and Don both hugs eachother.]
Don: Now if this was 20 years ago, you would've NEVER asked me to give you sugar!
Rigby: Well, you know what they say? With great age comes great maturity!
[Rigby and Don both shares a quick laugh. Don then sits down by his computer again and Rigby jumps up on a chair next to him.]
Rigby: So, what are you working on?
Don: (Slightly annoyed) Eh, nothing that special really... I was trying to check my pay for the month but the stupid laptop screen has frozen.
Rigby: (Looks at laptop) Hold on, lemme check on that– (gasps) 40,000 DOLLARS!?!?
[It cuts to showing Don's wage on the laptop, which is what rigby said: 40,000 dollars. It then goes back to Rigby and Don again.]
Rigby: (shockingly) That's what you're getting paid A MONTH!?!?
Don: Yeah, it's a pretty standard wage in the elite programming society. (Raises a finger) But don't get fooled, bro! A wage like this a month requires a hard amount of work to achieve!
[Don packs his laptop into a bag and stands up.]
Don: Anyways, I gotta bail. Thanks again for inviting me, big bro!
[As Don walks away, we are given a view of Rigby who appears dumbfounded from seeing Don's monthly pay. The view is still shown as it fades into the next scene. Rigby and Mordecai are sitting in sunchairs, drinking soda in the backyard after all the guests have left.]
[Eileen then opens the door to the backyard.]
Eileen: Rigby, I'm turning on the dishwasher now! Would you care to clean up the backyard later when you feel like it?
[Rigby snaps out of his gloomy mood and looks back at his wife.]
Rigby: What? Oh yeah sure, sweetie...
[Eileen is heard off-screen closing the door. Rigby then sighs sadly, making Mordecai concerned.]
Mordecai: Dude, is everything alright? I haven't seen you this down since Pops' memorial last year...
Rigby: What? No, I'm fine, I promise! (He then hangs his head gloomingly again)
Mordecai: Dude, spill it out! I've known you long enough to know when something isn't right.
[Rigby looks at mordecai and then down at the grass again.]
Rigby: Auugh! Fine! I saw my brother Don's payments while trying to fix his laptop earlier today! He earns 40,000 dollars a MONTH and he never even told me about his success!
Mordecai: (Shocked) What!? Dude, that's crazy! Why aren't you happy for him?
Rigby: I am happy for him! (Sad tone) It's just... Me and Eileen could've probably been having just as much money as him if I didn't intervene with her job... like, remember that one time Eileen went on a business trip? What if I never traveled to Wyoming to stop her? What then?
Mordecai: Dude, you're thinking too much! You went to Wyoming because you missed her and wanted her home again. There's nothing wrong with missing your partner!
Rigby: Yeah, but we could've probably lived in a penthouse now if I never went there! Now, we can barely afford to pay taxes all while saving up for my daughters' college fundings!
Mordecai: I'm telling you bro, as long as there is love in a relationship, any couple can survive! Trust me!
[Mordecai gets up from his sunchair and puts the soda down on the grass.]
Mordecai (Continuing): I gotta take a leak. Is it alright if I use your bathroom?
Rigby: Yeah sure, go ahead.
Mordecai: Thanks dude. Now think about what I said until I come back.
Rigby: (Smiles) I will, Mordecai. Thanks for sticking up to me.
[Off-screen, Mordecai is heard walking away. The camera zooms in on Rigby's face as he thinks back on some memories.]
[Suddenly, a new scene starts, showing a flashback from 23 years ago. A white car drives by in the shot. It then cuts to inside the car, showing a young Rigby sitting next to a whole stack of boxes in the backseat. He opens a small, black box from his pocket, and inside the box is a golden ring.]
[Rigby closes the box and holds it close to him as he smiles before putting the box away in his pocket. A younger Eileen is then shown sitting in the driver's seat, driving the car.]
Eileen: Sorry you had to sit in the back seat, Rigby... You know my lab equipment costs a fortune, so I have to drive while checking on it.
[Camera shows a whole stack of boxes filled with lab equipment in the front seat next to Eileen. It is all being held up by the fastened seatbelt.]
Rigby: Eh, it's fine! At least I can enjoy your car's built in butt-warmer!
[Rigby presses a button under the seat with the text "Butt-warmer" on it, making the seat warm up under him. Rigby gets so relaxed that he starts drooling from his face.]
Rigby: Aaaahhh... butt-warmerrr...
Eileen: (Gasps) We're here! (Pushes the brake)
Rigby: GAAA– PUAHH...!!
[The force of the braking ended up making rigby get flung out of his seat, making him crash right into Eileen's seat face first.]
[Eileen steps out of the car and Rigby follows behind her. She then stops and takes a deep breath.]
Eileen: (Confidently) Suck it all in, Rigby! This is where our new lives together will start!
[The place that they will move into appears to be a eight-story tall apartment complex. Some of the windows are also broken and the outside brick walls are covered in mold spots.]
[Camera goes back to Rigby and Eileen again.]
Rigby: (Stares) Uh, Eileen...
Eileen: Yeah?
Rigby: When you said that we were gonna live in a palace, did you mean a "Criminally insane" palace? Because that's all I am seeing in front of me.
Eileen: Well, for our first living space together as a couple, (Shrugs) this is pretty much the best you can get on the market...
[Eileen suddenly grabs Rigby's hand.]
Eileen (Continuing): Now come on! We gotta check out the apartment!
[Eileen drags Rigby with her as they run away off-screen.]
[Cut to next scene, showing the hallway to their floor. A janitor is seen cleaning the floors in the hallway.]
[Suddenly, the elevator door opens and Rigby runs out, carrying Eileen in his arms as they run up to their apartment, giggling. Rigby accidentally bumps into the janitor, pushing him over.]
Janitor: (Swings his fist) Ey, I'm cleanin' 'ere you idiot!!
Rigby: Sorry!
[Rigby and Eileen makes it to their apartment door. Rigby then falls over and gets Eileen on top of him. They continue laughing until Eileen stands up and opens the door to their apartment.]
Rigby and Eileen: Woahhh...
[Rigby and Eileen takes a look inside and gets met with a hot mess. The apartment is filled with dirty clothes, soda cans, pizza boxes and some stains on the floor.]
Rigby: (Stands up and dusts himself off) Well, at least it doesn't look worse than my old room at the park...
[Rigby walks inside the apartment and turns on the light. When he does, he gets met with a bunch of cockroaches running out of the apartment.]
Eileen: Yeah... maybe we should start cleaning, the first thing we do...
[We get a short montage of Rigby and Eileen cleaning up inside the apartment. We first see Eileen having a gas mask on as she puts some used diapers in a bag. It then cuts to Rigby having his utility belt on as he uses a hammer to get some nails pulled out from the floor. Lastly, we see Rigby vaccuuming up all the mess on the floor while giving Eileen a piggyback ride. They then switch roles so that Eileen gives Rigby a piggyback ride while vaccuming the floor. The montage is then over and it shows the apartment being sparkling clean. The apartment is now seen consisting of a living room, kitchen, one bedroom and a bathroom.]
Rigby: Phew! Finally cleaned into perfection! (Rap voice) So, whaddaya say we celebrate the move-in by ordering some drive-in!? Hmm? (Elbows Eileen)
Eileen: (Blushes) Heh heh, we should do that, but sadly I have to leave now...
Rigby: What!? Why? (Quickly realizes) Oh yeah, the whole job interview with the biology center, I get it!
Eileen: I'm sorry I have to leave you behind with all the stuff for today, but this is a huge opportunity for me and I don't want to miss it!
Rigby: Pshh! It's alright! (Points at himself) You didn't date someone who JUST slacks off all the time!
Eileen: Thanks, Rigby! (She kisses Rigby on the cheek and puts a finger over his mouth) Now if you manage to lift up all the boxes, then maybe I could consider making that banana bread that you love for dessert tonight! (Winks)
[Eileen walks out of the apartment.]
Eileen: See you later!
[She closes the door behind her.]
Rigby: Aw, yeah! Banana bread! Yummy in my tummyyy!
Three hours later...
(Scene changes to later in the afternoon, showing the same apartment but with no lights on. Suddenly, the door gets kicked open and Rigby is seen struggling to carry in the last boxes.)
Rigby: Hnghhh! Stupid lab equipment!! Why do you have to be so... HEAVYYY... NGAHHH!! (He drops the last boxes on the floor) Phew! (Looks at his watch) Now, since I saw Eileen pull up with her car outside, if I'm correct, then she should be home again in 5...4...3...2...1...
[Eileen steps inside the apartment, with an unsure look on her face.]
Eileen: Rigby?–
Rigby: (Rap voice) Ring! Ring! Ring! Guess what? I moved in all the boxes! Stuff my face with banana bread so I can sleep well in my boxers–
Eileen: Rigby, we need to talk...
[Rigby gets a confused look.]
Rigby: Hmm?
[Scene changes to the couple sitting down on the floor. Under them are two blankets that they're sitting on, while there is a plate with banana bread on the floor in the middle.]
Rigby: Two months? Really?
Eileen: Yeah, they admired me so much at the biology center that they're offering me a trip to study nature in another state called Wyoming... It's gonna take a while for us to meet again, but on the plus-side, I am gonna get a huge bonus in money from this.
Rigby: That's great news, Eileen!!
Eileen: (Surprised) Wait, you don't want me to stay? I could always deny their request if you don't want me to go...
Rigby: Of course I don't want you to stay!
[Eileen gets a sad look on her face now after hearing what rigby said.]
Rigby: (Corrects himself) Er- uh... I mean of course I don't want you to stay because this is a huge opportunity for you and even us both! Just think of what we can afford when you get your paycheck! We can go to movies, eat at restaurants, pay bills– it's gonna be great!
Eileen: Are you really sure about this? Three months is a very long time...
[Rigby puts his hands on Eileen's shoulders.]
Rigby: Look, Eileen! We survived on that dome without seeing our friends and family for months! There's no way we wouldn't survive only three months from eachother! That's like nothing!!
[Eileen ponders for a bit then decides.]
Eileen: (Sighs) Okay...
Rigby: OOOOOOHHHH!! Let's celebrate with some more banana breaddd!!
[Next scene starts the next day inside the airport. Eileen is standing by the boarding gate to her plane with a yellow luggage. She's also there with Rigby, saying his last goodbyes.]
Eileen: Well, I guess this is it then... the last time we're seeing eachother before I'm going to Wyoming for almost a quarter of a year...
Rigby: I guess so...
Eileen: You know, if you ever change your mind about this, I could always book a flight back again if you want me to.
Rigby: What!? Of course I don't want you to! (He grabs both of Eileen's hands confidently) listen, this is will be a perfect test for our relationship too! It'll show how much we really mean for eachother.
Eileen: Awh!
[Eileen and Rigby both hugs eachother to say a final goodbye.]
Eileen: And promise me that you will call me almost everyday, alright?
[Rigby looks at Eileen's face, smiling.]
Rigby: I promise!
Airport lady: Boarding is closing in twenty seconds!
Eileen: (Looks behind her) Oh shoot! I better get on my flight! (She grabs her luggage and runs to the gate.) See you in two months!
[Rigby waves in her direction.]
Rigby: Bye!
[When Eileen disappears, Rigby turns around and walks away, thinking about the future.]
Rigby: (Confidently) Ahh, what a time to be alive when she gets that bonus!
[We get a montage inside Rigby's imagination where he thinks about all the rich things he and Eileen will do when she comes back. First we see them wearing fancy clothes as they go to a drive-thru. They laugh with eachother as they stop at several fast food locations, filling the backseat with Cheezers and Wing Kingdom bags. Suddenly, Rigby goes down on one knee.]
Rigby: [Smug tone] Hey Eileen...
Eileen: Yeah?
[Rigby takes out his black ring box in the imagination montage and reveals it to Eileen.]
Rigby: There's something I've been meaning to ask you... (Opens the box, revealing a comically gigantic diamond on top of a ring.) will you be my girlfriend until the end of eternity?
Eileen: (Gasps) Oh my gosh, NO!!!
Rigby: (Confused) Wait what!?
Eileen, with Mordecai's head: RIGBY!!
Rigby: AAAHHH!! WHERE AM I!?!?
[It reveals that Rigby was sitting and daydreaming inside the coffee shop the entire time from when he walked away from the airport until now. By his table, Mordecai, Muscle Man and High Five Ghost are all looking at him angrily.]
Mordecai: (Annoyed) Dude, you've been sitting there daydreaming for 20 minutes! Tell us why you invited us here!
Muscle Man: Yeah bro! I need to drive home to Starla to look at Monster Spectacular Truckers Pro with her!! (Holds up a poster of a really big monster truck) it's only once in a lifetime!
Rigby: (Realizes) Oh yeah, that's right! Well, since you're all here now, BAM!! (Smugly) Check it out.
[Rigby puts down the box with the golden ring, having it open so the other fellow guys can see it.]
Mordecai, Muscle Man and HFG: Woaaahhh!
Mordecai: Aw, no way! I'm so proud of you, dude! You and Eileen would look great as husband and wife!
Muscle Man: So, when are you gonna propose to her, bro!?
Rigby: Well, that the thing... right now she's off to stay in Wyoming for the next two months on a research trip, so I haven't really planned anything yet.
[Muscle man, High Five Ghost and Mordecai all looks at eachother unsurely. Mordecai also rubs the back of his neck, unsure of what to say.]
Rigby: What? What's the issue?
Mordecai: Well, we're happy for you and all, dude... but are you sure that your relationship will last after those three months?
Rigby: (Annoyed) Aw c'mon, it's only three months! It's no big deal!
Muscle Man: Bro, long distance relationships can only work out if you're married to your partner! That's how me and Starla are still together after we were stuck in the dome project, because she didn't forget about me!
Mordecai: Muscle Man is right, Rigby! You two need to think this through more before you're ready to not see eachother for this long.
High Five Ghost: Celia even sent me a space E-mail threatening that she was gonna break up with me if I didn't return to Earth in less than a month. Luckily, we returned back ten days after the mail!
Rigby: Ugh! Whatever!
[Rigby jumps off from his chair and points at the guys.]
Rigby: (Confidently) I'm gonna return to this coffee shop in two months from now, and you guys will SEE that our relationship will still stand!!
Two months later...
[There is a knock on the door to Rigby's and Eileen's apartment. Inside, there are some pictures of Eileen and Rigby hung up on the walls, but the living room finally has some furniture to it.]
[There is another knock on the door. Rigby is then seen turning on the light and walking up to the door.]
Rigby: Ugh! I'm coming, I'm coming!!
[Rigby opens up the door. The person knocking reveals to be a pizza guy.]
Pizza guy: Pizza delivery...
Rigby: Yeah-ya! (Rap song) Getting some pizza for my sweet Lady! Gotta hope that this pizza is extra Shady!
Pizza guy: Hehehe! Sick flow, bro!
[Rigby swipes his card on the card reader, accepts the pizza and shuts the door. He then walks up to his newly installed blue couch and puts the two pizza boxes down on the table.]
[Suddenly, the phone rings. Rigby takes it out from his pocket to see who it is.]
Rigby: (Answers) Wassup, Eiloooine!
Eileen: (From the phone) Hey, Rigby!
Rigby: You on your way home yet? (Rap song) Gonna celebrate with some pizza! Or do you wanna put it in the freeza!?
[Cuts to Eileen's end. She's wearing a white lab coat.]
Eileen: (Giggles) You're so funny, Rigby!
Rigby: (From the phone, excitedly) Yeah I know I ammm!
[Eileen's smile fades.]
Eileen: ...But unfortunately I have some bad news to tell you...
[Cuts to Rigby's end. His smile is also seen fading away.]
Rigby: What's wrong?
[Cuts to Eileen's end.]
Eileen: Well, you see... it's gonna take longer than expected to get these test results that we collected from the nature around Wyoming... they want me to work here until the test results goes through...
Rigby: (From the phone) Oh... umm... How much longer are we talking here?
Eileen: (Sighs) At least four more months...
[Cuts to Rigby's end. He seems to look surprised at first, but his expression then fades into disappointment.]
Rigby: Oh... I see...
[Cuts back to Eileen's end again. She seems very concerned about Rigby.]
Eileen: Are you okay, Rigby? You sound very let down.
Rigby: (On the phone) What!? Hahah, no, I'm fine! Promise!
Eileen: Well, I hope you know that I can still go back home, Rigby, right?...
[Cuts to Rigby's end. He is seen starting to look unsure of himself.]
Eileen (Continuing): (From the phone) The truth is, I've really missed you for these past couple of months, and if you want me to return, then I am not hesitating to come back...
Rigby: Wh-what? No! Y-you cannot leave now! You've dreamt of this your whole life! You can't just bail from this now. Besides, just think of the huge bonus you're getting from this! (Fakes being positive) We're gonna be rich soon! Woooooo!!
[Cuts to Eileen's end.]
Eileen: But Rigby, I don't need any money to be happy... I just want to see you again... I don't care if we have any money or not, just as long as we have eachother... (She sighs and gets a sadder tone) but if this is what you really want... then we can find a way to make this work... for the both of us...
[Cuts back to Rigby one last time, showing him with a depressed expression. It gets silent between the two as they're unsure of what to say.]
Eileen: (From the phone) Look, I have to go now... call me whenever you feel like it... Love you, Rigby.
Rigby: (Disheartened) See ya...
[Rigby hangs up, disappointed.]
Rigby: (Facepalms) AUGH!! What is wrong with me!? (Talks to himself) Alright, just don't worry, Rigby! Just think of all the things you will afford when she comes back!
[Rigby face plants into the couch and lets out a sad groan. He then sits up straight and takes a slice off the pizza that he ordered for him and Eileen and turns on the TV.]
[Rigby then looks over to his left and notices the black ring box sitting on the table. He picks it up, looks at it and stares sadly at the golden ring inside of it. He shades a single tear of sadness before he lays down in the couch, hugging the black ring box tightly.]
[It cuts to next day, this time inside the coffee shop. Rigby is seen gloomingly opening the door and walking down the stairs, only to be met by Muscle Man, Mordecai and HFG waiting for him by one of the tables.]
Muscle Man: Well, well, well, if it isn't the future husband walking in here!
Mordecai: How did the proposal go, dude?
[Rigby takes a seat by the table and sighs.]
Rigby: Listen guys, Eileen is gonna stay in Wyoming for another 4 months...
[The three guys all reacts in disbelief.]
Mordecai: Aw, what!?
Muscle Man: Are you serious, bro!?!
Rigby: (Rubs back of neck) Wellll... she wanted to come home yesterday when I called her, but I sort of told her to stay there in Wyoming– (Receives a punchie by Mordecai.) OW!! What was that for!!??
Mordecai: (Angrily) Dude, what is your problem!? Don't you see that this will damage your relationship!?!
[Muscle Man, HFG and Mordecai all rambles angrily at Rigby, talking over one another.]
Rigby: STOP TALKING!!!
[They all become quiet. Rigby digs his head into his hands in frustration and groans.]
Rigby: (Gestures) Look, I want to propose to her just as much as you guys want me to, but this is a huge chance both for her and me! She's getting a huge promotion from this and also an added bonus for her involvement! (Positively) When she comes back, we can do whatever we want! We can move into a nice house and finally be able to afford rent, all those things!
Mordecai: (Seriously) You're missing the whole point! Eileen doesn't care about all that stuff, she's only staying in Wyoming to make you happy!
Muscle Man: Yeah bro! Like how do you think I've survived my entire life living in a trailer!? Love is stronger than all the money in the world, bro! That's why me and Starla makes out everyday in front of our child to show how much we love eachother! Twice!
[High Five Ghost is confused, while everyone is silent.]
High Five Ghost: (Clicks tongue) Uhhh... I think what Muscle Man is trying to say, is that we care about you dude, and I think you two deserve to see eachother again. Things might be hard sometimes but the most important thing in a relationship is connections. With Eileen being gone that long, then your connection to eachother will dry out completely.
[Rigby is seen looking guilty after thinking over his choices. He then changes his mind.]
Rigby: Uuugh! You guys are right... I'm an absolute idiot! I'm gonna call her right now and tell her to come home again.
[Muscle Man, HFG and Mordecai all cheers Rigby on after changing his mind. Rigby pulls out his phone, but to his surprise it's turned off.]
Rigby: Huh? Why is it turned off?
(Rigby presses the power button on his phone and the screen turns on, but all it says is "NO BATTERY: 0%".)
Rigby: Uh oh.
Mordecai: What? What happened?
Rigby: (Nervously) Uuuhh... My phone's dead.
Mordecai: Alright, just go home and charge it. (Sips from his coffee)
Rigby: Aurgh, I can't!! My other charger broke, I was gonna buy a new one yesterday but I forgot! (He face-plants his head into the table)
Mordecai: Don't worry, dude. I got my phone right here!
[Mordecai pulls out his flip phone from his pocket.]
Mordecai (Continuing): Alright, tell me her number.
(Rigby puts hand under his chin, thinking.)
Rigby: Uuuuuhhh... Zero!
Mordecai: (Dials it in) Uh huh. What else?
Rigby: Uuuuhhhh... eight?
(Mordecai dials it in)
Rigby: (Starts sweating nervously) Uuuuuhhhh...?
[Everyone at the table stares at Rigby as he's struggling to remember.]
Mordecai: Dude, please don't tell me that you forgot her number...
[Next scene starts at the town's electronic store. A guy in the checkout counter is seen playing videogames on his phone.]
[He gets interrupted by Rigby throwing a magazine on the desk.]
Rigby: Where can I find this charger?
[The employee takes a look at the charger in the magazine. It's called a WH-6000 super.]
Employee: (Deadpan) All sold out, sorry. (Goes back to playing)
Rigby: Aw, man! When do they restock!?
Employee: In 4 weeks.
Rigby, Muscle Man, Mordecai and HFG: WHAT!?
Mordecai: Dude, he can't wait that long! He needs to text his girlfriend, it's urgent!
Employee: (Without caring) Only an employee here, can't do anything about it.
[Suddenly, he gets his phone slapped out of his hands by Muscle Man. He then grabs the employee's shirt to threaten him.]
Muscle Man: Listen here, bro! You better go get that charger for my bro, or I WILL BURN THIS PLACE DOWN TO THE GROUND!!! Got it!?
[It cuts to outside the electronic's store. Two guards opens up the gates to the store. Carrying out Mordecai, Rigby, Muscle Man and High Five Ghost. They then throw them out on the parking lot.]
Guard: And stay out of here! (He slams the gate shut to the electronic store.)
Muscle Man: Hey, you can't do that!! I HAVE MY RIGHTS!!!
[Muscle Man runs up to the locked gate and bangs on the doors, squealing as he does. Mordecai runs up to Muscle Man and puts a consoling hand on his shoulder.]
Mordecai: Don't worry dude! Remember, we still got a Plan B for Rigby.
[Cut to a new scene, now outside the airport. Rigby is standing there with Mordecai, Muscle Man and HFG. Mordecai drops a backpack on the ground next to Rigby.]
Rigby: You're sending me to Wyoming!? You can't be serious! Only like two other people live there and the only weather they have everyday are strong winds... Eileen told me that!
Mordecai: (Annoyed) Dude, you wanna get your girlfriend back or not!? This is the only second option we had planned, so don't ruin this for yourself!
Rigby: Aurgh!! Fine! But did you at least bring the package?
[Mordecai takes out the ring box from his pocket.]
Mordecai: Ya bet I diiiid!
Mordecai and Rigby: (Rap voice) Bringing home my date, we're celebrating with chocolate cake! Bringing home my date, we're celebrating with chocolate cake!
[The guys all share a final laugh before the trip.]
Rigby: (Smiles) But seriously, thanks for all your help, guys. I couldn't have come to this choice without you three.
Muscle Man: Pshh! Don't worry about it, bro! NOW GO GET YOUR LADY BACK!! (He takes off his shirt and twirls it around.) WOOOOOO!!! IM GONNA BE THE BEST MAN AT RIGBY'S WEDDING, LADIES!!
[He runs away with Hi Five Ghost, leaving Mordecai and Rigby to themselves.]
Mordecai: (To Rigby) Well, take care now, alright?
Rigby: I will, dude.
[Mordecai gets into his new, red car and drives off. Rigby looks in his direction as he drives away, as "Should I stay or should I go" by The Clash starts playing.]
[Music keeps playing, as Rigby is confidently walking through the airport.]
"Darlin' you've got to let me knoww! Should I stay or should I go."
[Rigby winks at a blonde woman walking by. She giggles and looks back at him.]
"If you say that you are mine, I'll be there 'til the end of time!"
[Rigby walks by a food court, and notices that they have a Wing Kingdom restaurant there.]
Rigby: Aw yeah! Wing kingdom... and I got plenty of hours to spare before the flight!
[He walks in to the Wing Kingdom restaurant. It then cuts to him eating from a whole bucket of chicken legs. All while the music pumps up a notch.]
"Should I stay or should I go now, should I stay or should I go now!
If I go there will be trouble, if I stay it will be double...
So come on and let me know!"
[Cuts again, now to Rigby being completely stuffed, holding his stomach. He then hears a voice in the intercom.]
Airport lady: Boarding to Wyoming ending in 3 hours.
Rigby: WHAT!? ALREADY!?!
[Rigby grabs his backpack and rushes out towards the boarding gate on all four. The music plays louder as it shows him running through the crowds.]
"This indecision's bugging me!
If you don't want me, set me free!"
[Rigby pushes an old woman out of the way.]
Rigby: Sorry, coming through!!
"Exactly who am I supposed to be?
Don''t even know which clothes''ll fit me!"
[Rigby pushes a kid out of the way and makes the kid drop his ice cream.]
"So come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I gooooo...?"
[The song ends as Rigby finally makes it to the boarding gate, exhausted.]
Rigby: (Puffs) I... (Huffs) ...m-made it...
[Rigby notices the display showing all the flights and looks at the Wyoming Flight. It's not due to leave for another three hours.]
Rigby: What!? 3 hours!?! I thought they said 3 MINUTES!!
[Rigby grumpily walks up to the airport seats and sits down on one of them.]
Rigby: (Sighs) Guess I'm just gonna sit here and die of boredom, then!
[Rigby takes up a photo from his pocket. It's a picture of him and Eileen together. He stares at the picture for a bit then groans sadly.]
Rigby: Aurgh...
[He drops the photo on the ground and takes a nap.]
[It then cuts to night at the airport, now with Rigby vast asleep in his chair. He starts to dream nightmares.]
Rigby: (In his sleep) N-n-no! Eileen, what are you... doing home...? W-we need that bonus to survive... please-pl-please just go back to Wyoming... (Snores)
[Suddenly, a echoing female voice is heard.]
Echoing female voice: Riiig-byyy...
Rigby: (Drowsily wakes up) Huh...?
[Rigby looks around in confusion, rubbing his eyes.]
Echoing female voice: Riiiig-byyyy...
Rigby: Wh-who's saying that!?
[Suddenly, Rigby's picture of him and Eileen, still on the ground, paranormally starts floating. A white fog then comes out of the screen. It shapes itself into a ghost of Eileen.]
Eileen Ghost: It's me, Rigby... your future wife!
Rigby: (Terrified) AHH!! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, EILEEN!?!
Eileen Ghost: Relax, sweetheart! I'm just part of your imagination. I'm just here to warn you...
Rigby: Uuhh... warn me about what?
Eileen Ghost: Don't you see? You're making a huge mistake. I don't want you to go to Wyoming. (Smiles) I want you to stay here...
Rigby: B-B-but on the phone yesterday, you said that you missed me and wanted to come home again! Why have you changed your opinion now all of a sudden!?
[The Eileen Ghost floats up to Rigby and sits in the seat next to him. It then puts its arm around him.]
Eileen Ghost: (Giggles) Oh, you silly goose! I don't actually miss you. I just said that to make you feel better. But in fact, I LOVE my job in Wyoming! So please, Rigby... I don't want you to ruin this chance for me...
[Rigby looks down in the ground, feeling guilt. He then notices an airport lady talking into the intercom.]
Airport lady: (Deadpan) Boarding plane to Wyoming closes in two minutes. Please have your flight tickets ready for scanning.
Rigby: Umm... I should probably go onboard the plane now.
[Rigby jumps off his chair and grabs his packpack, ready to go onboard, but the Eileen Ghost grips his hand so he cannot leave.]
Rigby: Hngghh!! Let go of me, fantasy ghost!!
Eileen Ghost: Please, Rigby! It's for our own good if you stay here. Just think of all the things you can buy with my bonus! Now repeat after me: It's better this way...
...it's better this way...
...it's better this way...
...it's better this way...
[Rigby looks the Eileen Ghost and then back at the aiport lady by the boarding gate, unsure of what decision to make. He takes a deep breath, ready to make his choice, but right when he does, someone pauses his flashback memory.]
[It goes back to 48-year-old Rigby again as he snaps back from his daydreaming, now furious.]
Rigby: (Angrily) Hey!! Who ended my flash...back...?...woahhh...
[Rigby goes quiet as it reveals an undead immortal in front of him paused the flashback with a remote. That one person is no one else but...]
Rigby: ...Death...? What are you doing here!?
Death: Well, well, well! If it ain't my old bloke Rigby! I have come here to warn ya, mate!
Rigby: Uh... warn me about what?
Death: Well, me and my wife heard everything that you and the one who calls himself Mordecai discussed earlier. We were taking Thomas to the playground when we heard ya across the street from here.
Rigby: Aughh! Yeah, I know I am late on my taxes, you don't have to listen to EVERYTHING me and him discusses!
Death: What? No, you daft muppet! (Facepalms) I'm talking about your wife Eileen. What I'm trying to tell ya is that you DID do the right choice that one day at the airport.
Rigby: (Realizes) Ohhh! You mean that! Alright then! So why do you care so much about that?
Death: (Deadpan) I don't actually, but my pain-in-the-butt wife over there forced me to care about you, mate...
[It pans over to Death's wife stalking them in the bushes in Rigby's backyard.]
Death: (Shrugs) She's in this weird phase where she gets really emotional over romance cliché's...
Rigby: (Sighs) what if I would've just stayed? Would my life become more successful? Would our lives be miserable together? I have no idea, but at least I would've been able to afford to pay taxes by now! I could've been richer than my brother Don, for crying out loud!!
Death: FOOL!!
[Rigby looks around him as a green aura forms around him and Death that Death himself summoned.]
Death: It's time to stop thinking about the "What if's" and start appreciating what you have NOW, mate!! When I used to steal people's souls back in my days I couldn't stop thinking about my first dead wife Lisandra, but I managed to control my brain so that all I could think about was MY JOB!!! SO DO YOU REALIZE THAT YOU ARE WRONG NOW!?!?
[Rigby nods. Not because he's convinced, but because he is frightened.]
Death: (Glares) I don't see it on your face...! WRAAAHHH!!!~
[Death charges right at Rigby with his scythe.]
Rigby: AAAAAHHHH–
[The camera view goes up Rigby's nose, traveling all the way up to his head. Rigby is then seen again, falling into a dark, empty abyss.]
Rigby: ...aaaaAAAAAAHHHHH– OUF!! (He hits the ground)
[Rigby gets up on his feet and looks around in confusion. He suddenly bumps into an invisible wall face-first.]
Rigby: OUW!! (He covers his nose with his hands and falls backwards. When he looks up again, Death is standing there, looking down on him.]
Rigby: YOU!! (Stands up) Where have you sent me somewhere!?!
Death: This, my good bloke, is your brain!
Rigby: (Looks around again) Aw man! I expected it to be less empty...
Death: (Deadpan) Well, I didn't expect much myself from someone who tried to put peanut butter on a salmon sandwich and ended up getting a heart attack... (Clears throat) anywho, do you know why I sent you here today, Rigby?
Rigby: (Annoyed) Yeah, because you didn't think I was convinced, even though I said YES!! I get it! End of story!
Death: (Raises an eyebrow) But you aren't convinced that you did the right decision now, aye?
[Rigby goes silent for a bit.]
Rigby: Okay fine, you're right! I am not convinced. So what!?
Death: Exactly! (Puts hand on Rigby's chest) that's why I'm gonna show you what actually would've happened if you went with that other so called "Better choice" of yours!
[Death snaps his finger and a memory ball appears with a green aura surronding it. Inside, you can see where Rigby's flashback left off before at the airport, with the Eileen Ghost part.]
Death: Now what do ya think this is, mate?
Rigby: (Squints eyes) Uh... It looks like that one time at the airport about 20 years ago...?
Death: THIS, is the memory that changed your entire life onwards. Now take a look inside at the alternate universe that ya wanted to go with, so I can get outta here quicker!
[Rigby looks inside and his pupils goes wide. The memory ball reveals the airport moment with the Eileen ghost from Rigby's imagination, but now with an alternate choice.]
[Rigby jumps off his chair and grabs his packpack, ready to go onboard, but the Eileen Ghost grips his hand so he cannot leave.]
Rigby: Hngghh!! Let go of me, fantasy ghost!!
Eileen Ghost: Please, Rigby! It's for our own good if you stay here. Just think of all the things you can buy with my bonus! Now repeat after me: It's better this way...
...it's better this way...
...it's better this way...
...it's better this way...
[Rigby looks the Eileen Ghost and then back at the aiport lady by the boarding gate, unsure of what decision to make. He takes a deep breath, ready to make his choice.]
Rigby: It's... better this way... I'm staying.
Eileen ghost: (Whispers into Rigby's ear) I knew I could trust on you...
[The Eileen ghost disappears through the ground and leaves Rigby behind. Rigby sighs gloomingly as he sees the aiport lady closing the gate to the Wyoming flight. Ace's ghost then suddenly starts narrating the memory.]
Death narrating: As you can see from this alternative, I am showing you, mate, what would've happened if you went with the other choices. Would you like to proceed?
[Death fasts forward to Rigby returning to his apartment building again. He looks in the mail and sees that the charger that he asked for has been directly delivered to his apartment.]
Death narrating: It starts off slow, but from now one out, your relationship flatlines...
[Cuts to Rigby in the couch in his and Eileen's apartment, charging his phone. He boots the phone up and sees 20 missed calls from Eileen. He has also received these text messages from her.]
Eileen: I wanna talk
Eileen: Please answer
Eileen: Don't you want to talk to me?
Eileen: Hello???
[But instead of calling her back, Rigby throws the phone away and naps in the couch.]
Death narrating: As the months pass by, you and Eileen's relationship gets worse and worse...
[We see Rigby and Eileen having a inaudible heated argument on the phone after a few months have passed by. Rigby hangs up angrily and slams the table with his fist.]
Death narrating: Sure, you might have the money to fall onto new things to do, but what cost? All of your friends lost their trust in you after you chickened out.
[We see Rigby desperately trying to hangout with someone, but Muscle Man, Hi Five Ghost, Benson, Skips and lastly Mordecai all slams the door on him.]
Death: More months passing by equals more slips in your life... until the end of it all... the end of you...
[Rigby and Eileen are now video chatting. They both decide to break up once and for all over the computer. Eileen begins crying and ends the call for good. Rigby hangs his head in depression, shedding a single tear of regret. It cuts to him leaving his and Eileen's apartment building with his bags. He sits down on the staircase, wearing a leather jacket that he bought with Eileen's money, as the rain falls down on him.]
[The memory then ends and Rigby is back once again in his sunchair again in the real world. He catches for breath panickingly after the experience he just went through.]
Rigby: (In shock) Woaaahh... I– I never realized that it was gonna turn out that bad. I thought we were just gonna sort things out again when she came back, but–
Death: (Interrupts) Well, it's not only that, Rigby, it's about you, too. Ya gotta stop thinking about the past and appreciate what ya got now, mate! Look at me! I'm a happily married man with the best gosh darn child you could ever ask for!
[Rigby looks unsurely at Death, having past experiences with Thomas.]
Rigby: Uhh... sure...
[Rigby then looks behind him and sees his beautiful wife doing the dishes through the window. He smiles and then looks back at Death.]
Rigby: But you know what, Death? You're right! My life might not be the most brilliant life I could ask for, but at least I have Eileen there to support me. Thanks for convincing me, man!
Death: (Nonchalantly) Eh, don't mention it, good lad! Say, you wanna look back at your old memories from the choice you actually went with? Looking at ya face, it says that you would like to see that again!
Rigby: (Confused) Wait, but I thought that you didn't care about helping me?
Death: Well, my wife might be a pain sometimes, but it was actually quicker to convince you than many other people in broken marriages. So waddaya say, aye?
Rigby: (Smiles and nods) I would love that...
Death: Very well. Like before, look into the Ball of Memories and try not to get a headache. That happens sometimes...
[Death snaps his fingers and once again the memory ball gets summoned. Rigby looks inside and his pupils goes wide. The memory ball reveals the airport moment with the Eileen ghost from Rigby's imagination, but now with the choice that Rigby ACTUALLY went with.]
[Rigby jumps off his chair and grabs his packpack, ready to go onboard, but the Eileen Ghost grips his hand so he cannot leave.]
Rigby: Hngghh!! Let go of me, fantasy ghost!!
Eileen Ghost: Please, Rigby! It's for our own good if you stay here. Just think of all the things you can buy with my bonus! Now repeat after me: It's better this way...
...it's better this way...
...it's better this way...
...it's better this way...
[Rigby looks the Eileen Ghost and then back at the aiport lady by the boarding gate, unsure of what decision to make. But then suddenly, he gets a determined look on his face from anger and desperation.]
Rigby: NO!! YOU ARE NOT EILEEN!!
[Rigby punches the Eileen Ghost right in the face with a right hook. The Eileen Ghost groans in pain and lets go of Rigby's hand, giving Rigby the opening to make a run for it.]
[But suddenly, he sees that the aiport lady is just about to close the gate.]
Rigby: WAIT!! I GOT MY TICKET!!
[The airport lady sighs annoyed and lets Rigby through. It cuts to the Eileen ghost, recovering from the punch, but gets furious as she sees Rigby escaping.]
Eileen Ghost: NO!!!
[The Eileen Ghost floats after Rigby and phases through the closed airport gate.]
[It cuts to Rigby running on all four as the Eileen Ghost is chasing him from behind. Rigby looks back and sees it following him and he then screams in terror.]
Rigby: AHH!! STAY AWAY FROM ME!!
[Rigby looks in front of him and notices the airplane door open down the corridor.]
Rigby: (Gasps) I see the plane!! I can finally make i–
[Suddenly, Rigby gets sucker punched in the back and flies right into the glass wall. His backpack opens up from the impact and all of his things falls out, including his engagement ring box, which slides behind the Eileen Ghost.]
Rigby: (Rubs his head) Ugh... what... happened...
[The Eileen Ghost then grabs Rigby by the neck and pins him against the glass wall.]
Eileen Ghost: (Angrily) Last chance, Rigby! Stay here or DIE!!!
[Rigby struggles to break free, with no success, until he notices the ring box behind the Eileen Ghost.]
Rigby: The only one who's gonna stay here today... is YOU!!!
[Rigby bites into the Eileen Ghost's arm, making her groan in pain. It drops Rigby on the ground and when it does, Rigby slides under the Eileen Ghost's legs and grabs the ring box. He then runs on all four and makes it to the airplane.]
[After groaning in pain, the Eileen Ghost notices that Rigby now has made it to the airplane.]
Eileen Ghost: ARGH!!! (She floats towards the entrance, after Rigby.)
[Cut to Rigby as he stops by a ginger-haired flight attendant waiting by the airplane entrance.]
Flight attendant: (Pleasantly) Welcome to Wyoming Airlines, sir! Feel free to take a seat!
Rigby: (In panic) There's no time to welcome me! This crazy woman down the corridor wants me dead and you need to lift off the airplane right now!!
[The flight attendant looks down the corridor and sees nothing, as the Eileen Ghost is only in Rigby's head.]
Flight attendant: (Confused) Uh... who are you talking about, sir?
Rigby: JUST START THE GOSH DARN AIRPLANE!!!
[Cut to the flight attendant as she now lifts a walkie-talkie hung up on the wall.]
Meanwhile in the cockpit...
Pilot: (Shows his cards) Double-pairs.
Co-pilot: Straight flush.
Pilot: DANG IT!!! You do this everytime, Ronnie!
Flight attendant: (From the radio) Pilots, we are ready for liftoff! I repeat: we are ready for liftoff!
Pilot: Copy that, miss! Let's lift this baby!
[It cuts to the Eileen Ghost still floating towards the entrance, but the flight attendant pushes the button and the airport door closes, right as the Eileen Ghost makes it. On the other side, Rigby can hear banging on the door. The airplane then finally lifts off from the airport, leaving the Eileen Ghost behind.]
Eileen Ghost: (Grins evily) Oh don't you worry, Rigby. I will come back for you, soon enough.
[The Eileen ghost disappears through the ground. End of scene.]
Meanwhile in Wyoming...
[Eileen is sitting in her hotel room by her desk, tiringly working on her computer late at night. She's wearing a robe while drinking from a cup of coffee.]
[Her phone rings. She picks up and answers.]
Eileen: (Yawns) Hello...?
[A female voice responds.]
Ruby: (Pleasantly from the phone) Hi, Eileen! It's Ruby here! How's the hypothesis pages for the study project going?
Eileen: (Groggily) They're doing fine, I guess. Not really in the mood to finish it tonight, though...
Ruby: (From the phone) Oh... well, you know that they have to be done until Tuesday, right? That's when we're traveling across the state to study the northern wildlife!
[Eileen gets up from her chair, annoyed.]
Eileen: Aurgh!! Yeah, I know! I'm just really tired, alright!? I don't wanna talk anymore, I'll see you tomorrow!
Ruby: Wait, Eileen–
[Eileen hangs up and throws the phone away. She sighs, lays down in her hotel bed and buries her head into a pillow.]
Eileen: I'm such an idiot! Why did I ever leave on this stupid trip!?
[Eileen looks over at the cabinet next to her bed and sees a picture frame of Rigby.]
Eileen: ...I'm sorry, Rigby. I don't know how much more I can handle...
[She picks the frame up and holds it close to her heart, as she's laying down looking up at the ceiling.]
[Back on the airplane again, Rigby is sitting down, snoring loudly as he's sleeping with his ring box in his hands. He appears to be the only passenger on the plane.]
[He all of a sudden gets woken up by the plane landing.]
Rigby: (Groggily) Huh...?
[Rigby looks out the airplane window and sees that the airplane has reached the ground. They're now finally in Wyoming.]
Rigby: OOOOOO... (He jumps off his seat and spins in circles towards the airplane door.) ...OOOOOHHHH!! Ready or not Wyoming, here I c–
[The airplane door opens and Rigby immediately gets hit with a strong gust of wind, knocking him backwards. He makes it to the door again and looks outside through the strong wind. He sees a vendor selling hot dogs across the street from the airport.]
[It cuts to Rigby running up to the vendor. The vendor is wearing nothing but shorts and a cowboy hat.]
Hot dog vendor: Hi there, traveler! Welcome to Wyoming! Every visitor gets a free hot dog!
Rigby: (Accepts a hot dog) Dude, it's literally storm outside! Why are you dressed like that!?
Hot dog vendor: (Laughs) It's Wyoming, pal! We get winds like this every day of the year! Right now, it's summer here!
Rigby: Oh, I see.
[Rigby is about to take a bite from the hot dog.]
Hot dog guy: (Continuing) But don't worry! Every visitor has asked the same question like you! The last time someone asked that was a small mole girl two months ago!
Rigby: (Gasps and drops his hotdog) Eileen?!? That's her you're talking about! Do you know where she is now!? She's my girlfriend and I came here to bring her back again!
Hot dog vendor: (Tips his hat) Heh, sounds like a real cliché romance drama to me, pal! Well, last time I heard from from your lady, I heard she booked a room at Plank Steak Hotel downtown!
Rigby: Great! Thanks for the help!
[Rigby runs away. When he does, the hot dog vendor gets blown away by the wind with his stand.]
[It cuts to Rigby again, covering his face against the strong winds as he's walking through town. He's also holding a map.]
Rigby: Ugh! These maps are worthless! All they did was writing some stupid message on a piece of paper!
[It shows what the map says, which is just a text saying "In Wyoming, you don't need a map! The nature is the only map you need."]
Rigby: What stupid kind of fortune cookie message is that!? Aurgh!! (He crumples the map into a ball and throws it away)
But suddenly, a familiar voice from before is heard echoing Rigby's name.]
Eileen Ghost: Riiiigbyyy~
[Rigby shivers but keeps going, but looks around in fear. The Eileen Ghost calls for his name again.]
Eileen Ghost: Over here, rigbyyy...~
Rigby: (Keeps walking unsurely) Uh...
[The Eileen Ghost then unexpectedly appears in front of Rigby.]
Eileen Ghost: (Angrily) RIGBY!!
Rigby: (Annoyed) Aw, c'mon! Not you again!!
Eileen Ghost: (Smiles evily) I told you that you weren't gonna get rid of me, Sweetie!
Rigby: (Angrily) AURGH!! GET OUT OF MY HEAD YOU STALKER!!
[Rigby runs past The Eileen Ghost on all four feet. The Eileen Ghost disappears through the ground again.]
[Cut back to Rigby as he's running through the heavy wind. The Eileen Ghost's voice is echoing around Rigby.]
Eileen Ghost: (Distant) Oh, Rigby... Why are you running away from your own girlfriend? I thought you liked me, Rigby...
Rigby: No I don't, (pants) because you, are NOT Eileen!! You are just my insecurities in human form from my own consciousness! (Realizes, then gasps) That's it! In order to get rid of my insecurities, I have to meet Eileen in person! First I just need to find...
[Rigby looks to his left and sees Flat Steak Hotel right in front of him.]
Rigby: Aw, sweet! There it is! (He runs inside) I'm coming, Eileen!!!
[It cuts to inside the hotel, as Rigby opens the doors to the entrance. He then barricades the entrance by throwing tables and chairs at the door, so that the Eileen Ghost cannot come through.]
Rigby: (Looks behind him) Woahhh...
[Rigby notices the hotel longue and looks around in awe. The hotel longue is vintage-styled and has an open fireplace by the reception.]
[Rigby then walks up to the reception, where he is met with an unpleasant receptionist lady.]
Receptionist: (In a bored tone) Welcome to Plank Steak Hotel, how may I help you today, sir?
Rigby: Uh, I was just gonna check if a woman by the name Eileen Roberts lives here?
Receptionist: Yeah, I remember her. She's living in room 9-B as of now.
Rigby: Nice! (Fist pumps the air) May I go visit her?
Receptionist: Sorry, only guests are allowed to visit other guests.
Rigby: Aw, what!? (Angrily) But I need to see my girlfriend!! It's urgent!
Receptionist: (Rolls eyes) Rules are rules, mister! Either pay for a room or get out.
Rigby: (Sighs) How much does a room cost?
Receptionist: 200 dollars a night.
Rigby: (Annoyed) Aw, sick!
[Rigby then hears a rumbling noise behind him and looks behind his back.
[Unfortunately, by the barricaded doors, the Eileen Ghost has phased right through the barricade and is now inside the hotel with Rigby. It hisses in anger as it spots Rigby.]
Rigby: AAAAHHHH!!!
[Rigby then runs past the receptionist, down the restricted hall at the hotel. The Eileen Ghost floats by the receptionist too, without her seeing it.]
Receptionist: (Angrily) Hey, you can't go there! That's an area for guests only!! (Wolf-whistles) Get him, guards!!!
[It pans over to a security door, where two angry buff guards are seen standing as the door opens with a larm going off. They immediately start rushing towards Rigby.]
[It cuts to Rigby as he enters the elevator room. He pushes an old lady out of the way right as she's about to enter an open elevator.]
Rigby: (In panic) Sorry, old lady! This is personal reasons!
[Rigby steps inside the elevator and repeatedly pressed the button to floor 9. He then checks outside and sees the guards and the Eileen Ghost all running up to his elevator.]
Rigby: (Keeps pressing) Cmon... C'mon!! HURRY UP!!
[The elevator door finally closes, just as the guards get to the door. One of the guards bangs his hand into the door and creates a dent.]
Rigby: (Hugs the wall and pants) Phew! That was too close...
[But suddenly, a familiar hand phases through the elevator wall. The full body steps inside Rigby's elevator and reveals once again to be the Eileen Ghost.]
Rigby: OH FOR CHRIST'S SAKE! I already made my choice! (Points at the Eileen Ghost) You can't make me unchange my mind!!
Eileen Ghost: Yes, while that is true, I can still do one more thing: And that is to STOP YOU!!
[The Eileen Ghost's arms suddenly stretches out and wraps themselves around Rigby's legs, making him unable to move.]
Eileen Ghost: Don't you hate this elevator, Rigby? I see it on your cute little face, because you don't like small spaces, right? That's why I'm gonna keep you trapped in here forever! (It kisses Rigby on the cheek.)
Rigby: (In panic) nnnNOOO!! I HATE SMALL SPACES!!!
[Rigby successfully bites the Eileen Ghost in the arm. It groans in pain and lets Rigby go and as it does, the elevator door to Rigby's floor opens.
Rigby: Eileen!! I'm here, Eileen!!
[Rigby immediately runs out of the elevator and gets surrounded by the two guards from earlier.]
[But then finally, Rigby sees Eileen as she sadly opens the door to her hotel room. Her attire is a white lab coat and she is carrying a black purse now.]
Rigby: (Gasps) Eileen!!
[From found determination, Rigby kicks one of the guards in the heel, making him fall in pain to the ground. He then runs by the other guard, who immediately begins chasing him.]
Rigby: EILEEN!!
[Eileen looks over to her right surprised and sees Rigby rushing over towards her.]
Eileen: ...Rigby?
Rigby: Eileen!! We need to ta- OUHF!!
[Before finishing his sentence, Rigby gets tackled down by one of the guards and gets all of his weight on top of him.]
Rigby: (Coughs) Eileen...
Guard 1: (To guard 2) Alright, we got the trespasser! Get him out of here!
[The guard lifts Rigby up so he stands on his feet, with his arms behind his back.]
Eileen: Wait!
[Eileen runs up to Rigby and guards and behind them, the Eileen Ghost appears from the ground out of sight with a worried look on her face.]
Eileen: Please, guards! Let my boyfriend speak to me!
Guard 2: That's her boyfriend!? Alright, make it quick ya little troublemaker.
[Eileen runs up to Rigby and stands a few feet away from him.]
Eileen: Rigby? What are you doing here...?
Rigby: (Coughs, weakly) Oh, Eileen... finally I get to see your beautiful face after this long... Can I just admire it for a sec?
Eileen: No Rigby, you can't, because I need to know how you came here. Did you and Mordecai come here by goofing around again? Or did you just take the wrong plane? I need to know quick because I need to head to work.
Rigby: No! No more work! (He sighs and hangs his head) Listen, Eileen... I didn't just come here today because of an accident: I came here because I want you back home again.
[Eileen softens in her tone.]
Eileen: R-really?
Rigby: (Looks up) Ever since you left that day, it's felt like another knife to the stomach waiting for you to come back. I wanted you to come home again, but at the same time I thought about the money you were gonna make. (Sadly) But now, I've realized that a couple needs love in their lives in order for their relationship to work out, and I think our relationship deserves to get some love too. I was gonna call you and say all of this over the phone, but then its battery suddenly died and I couldn't get a new charger until two weeks from now. So what do you say, Eileen? Shall we go h–
Guard 1: Alright, time's up, Romeo! Time to move along!
[The two guards starts walking away, carrying Rigby with them.]
Rigby: Wait, no! Eileen, do something!
[But Eileen is just standing there, unsurely thinking of what to say.]
Rigby: (Disheartened) C'mon Eileen! Come back to me, please!
[The Eileen Ghost appears next to Rigby and pats him on the shoulder.]
Eileen Ghost: (Evily) Hahaha!!~ See? I told you that she doesn't care about you! Now, she can stay at her job forever and ev–
Eileen: (Off-screen) Wait! Guards! Wait!
[The real Eileen then suddenly runs up to the two guards and Rigby. She phases right through the Eileen Ghost, which remains unseen to everyone but Rigby. She then hugs Rigby with a smile on her face.]
Eileen Ghost: Wait, NO!!
Eileen: (Happily) I thought the same way, too! Ever since I left, I couldn't stand being a single day without you. I wanted to quit this horrible job, but I did this for you, of course.
[Rigby smiles and leans his head on Eileen's shoulder. He wants to hug her back, but is unable to because he has his arms behind his back by the guard.]
[Eileen looks Rigby in the eyes, as she has her arms around Rigby's shoulders.]
Eileen: (Smiles) But if this is what you want, then I will gladly return home...
Rigby: Awh!
[The guard lets go of Rigby's arms, making him able to hug Eileen back, too. He then looks over at the Eileen Ghost and gives it a "Loser" gesture, making the Eileen ghost become furious.]
Eileen Ghost: What the- ARGH!!!
[The Eileen Ghost tries to stop Rigby and Eileen hugging to try and break them apart, but with no success as an invisible, pink barrier blocks her from doing towards them. The Eileen Ghost keeps banging on the barrier, but still cannot break it.]
[Rigby looks down at the ground and smiles again, determined.]
Rigby: So that makes it official, then...
[The guards both look at Rigby.]
Rigby: (Smirks) Guards, will you please be so kind to step back a few inches?
[The guards both nods and steps back. One of them picks up something from the ground and hands it over to Rigby, implying that he meant what Rigby was saying. The thing he hands over reveals to be the black ring box that he has carried with him on this entire trip.]
Rigby: So, Eileen Roberts... (He gets down on one knee and reveals the black box again) if you are really true to what you are saying, that you can't stand being a single day away from me...
[Eileen covers her mouth with both her hands. Her eyes starts to fill up with tears.]
Eileen: (Gasps) Oh my gosh, oh my gosh...!
[Rigby opens the black box, revealing the beautiful golden ring, now more shinier than ever.]
Rigby: ...Then will you come home and make me the happiest man on the planet?
Eileen: (Happily nods and tears up) Yes, Rigby! Of course I'll marry you!
[Eileen throws herself onto Rigby and he catches her in his arms. They both finally embrace in a kiss as Rigby is struggling, but managing to carry Eileen.]
Eileen: (Blushes) Sorry, I get a little carried away with big surprises like this...
Rigby: It's fine! At least you got surprised this time. Did you see it coming?
Eileen: Never in a hundred years!
[Rigby and Eileen both kiss again as Rigby puts Eileen down again on the floor. It pans over to the Eileen Ghost, now more furious than ever.]
Eileen Ghost: NNNOOOOOOO!!!!
[The Eileen Ghost swells up and explodes into a ball of flames from Rigby's proposal, finally dying. Only Rigby is able to see it, and he gets relieved once he realizes that all of his insecurities about Eileen are all gone.]
[Cuts over to the receptionist, now standing next to Rigby and Eileen embracing. She is wiping tears off her face.]
Receptionist: (Sniff) Such... beautiful embrace... (Deadpan) Now get these fools out of my hotel, I don't care if the girl is paying for staying here!
[Scene cuts to the two guards throwing Rigby and Eileen out of the hotel on the street, with Eileen's luggage bag aswell. Outside, the wind has disappeared and the weather is now calm.]
Guard 1: And stay out, you suckers!
[The guards slam the door on them.]
Rigby: Jeez, what a bunch of jerks, ruining a guy's proposal! Please, promise me that you never go back to Wyoming again, Eileen!
Eileen: Heh, well I think it was beautiful, Rigby...
Rigby: Say, did you ever get the ring that I proposed with?
Eileen: (Checks her fingers) Uh... no it appears I didn't...
Rigby: Aw what!? (Yells at the hotel) Hey, the engaged man you just kicked out forgot his ring, you twerps!!
Eileen: (Holds Rigby's hands) Don't worry, Rigby. A ring doesn't need to show that we're happily engaged to eachother... Here, let's use this instead.
[Eileen takes out a pretzel shaped as a ring and puts it on her ring finger.]
Eileen: A pretzel ring! I think this describes our relationship way better than a normal ring: Snacky, tasty... all of those wicked stuff! (She puts it on her ring finger.)
Rigby: Awh, come here!
[They both happily kiss one last time, while holding hands.]
Rigby: Ready to go back home? I bribed the hot dog guy outside the airport so we get a free ride home again!
Eileen: (Giggles) Yeah, let's go!
[Scene ends with them walking away, while holding hands.]
[Next scene takes place at the airport, where we see Rigby and Eileen walking outside. Rigby is dragging on Eileen's luggage while Eileen is carrying Rigby's backpack. They both get surprised by Mordecai waiting for them by the aiport with his car. Grover Washington Jr.'s "Just the two of us" starts playing as Rigby and Eileen gets a ride home.]
"I see the crystal raindrops fall
And the beauty of it all
Is when the sun comes shining through"
[In the car, Rigby and Eileen are sitting in the backseat while Mordecai is driving the car. Rigby and Mordecai are arguing about something inaudibly, until Eileen puts a finger over Rigby's mouth and leans her head against his shoulder. Rigby then looks up in the car roof, thinking to himself.]
"To make those rainbows in my mind
When I think of you sometime
And I wanna spend some time with you"
[Cuts to some days later in Rigby's and Eileen's apartment. There is a sudden knock on the door. A drowsy Rigby dressed in a robe rubbing his eyes goes and opens. It reveals to be the two guards from Wyoming who knocked on the door, who are over to visit to give back the golden ring that Rigby left behind.]
[Rigby gladly accepts the golden ring back. He invites the guards in and they step inside his apartment.]
"Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
(Just the two of us)"
[Cuts to Rigby with Eileen sitting on his lap by the dinner table. He puts the real, lost golden ring on her ring finger and they both kiss happily. The camera zooms out and reveals the two guards sitting there with them, drinking coffee, talking to eachother.]
"Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I..."
[The short music montage ends and the next scene takes place 6 months later on Rigby's wedding day. Rigby, Mordecai, Benson, HFG and Skips are all in the backrooms getting ready for the ceremony.]
Benson: (Checks his list) All right, the suit is fixed up, all the guests have arrived, and all the best men are suited up, too. I think we're done here for the wedding!
Rigby: (fist pumps the air) Aw, sweet! Benson, you might not be my boss anymore, but you're sure one chill dude who wants to go through as a priest on my wedding day! (Smiles) Thanks again, man...
Benson: (Smiles back) Just get out there and get yourself a happily ever after!
[Rigby suddenly notices Muscle Man starting to tear up.]
Rigby: Um... muscle man? Are you sure that you're gonna be able to handle this?
Muscle Man: (Sobs) Like yeah, bro! It's just... (Starts crying) I DON'T THINK I CAN HANDLE ONE OF MY BEST BROS BEING MARRIED!!! AEUOOUEIOUUE!!!
[Muscle Man starts squealing out of sadness and starts breaking everything around him. Skips, Benson and HFG all holds Muscle Man locked.]
Skips: Hnghh!! Just head out there already, Rigby! We got this covered.
[Off-screen you can still hear chaos from Muscle Man's breakdown, but Mordecai and Rigby ignores it as they're talking to eachother.]
Mordecai: Well, I guess this is it, huh?
Rigby: Yeah, I guess so...
Mordecai: One step away from being a man...
Rigby: Yup... (He gets punched in the shoulder by mordecai) OW!! What was that for!?!
Mordecai: Just for good luck for the big speech on the stage. I hope you don't have stage fright anymore like when you did your high school speech!
Rigby: (Angrily) STOP TALKING!!! That was over 5 years ago and you know it!!
Mordecai: Alright, alright I was just kidding. Now get out of here before I punch you again, man!
[Rigby grumpily walks out of the backroom, but hesitates when he's about to exit. He looks back at Mordecai, now texting on his cellphone.]
Rigby: Hey, Mordecai?
Mordecai: (Looks up) Yeah?
Rigby: (Smiles) Thanks again for everything! If you weren't there and helped me to Wyoming, I wouldn't have gotten any of this. You helped me make the right decision...
Mordecai: (Smiles) Dude, you're thinking too much! Just get out there and kiss your bride, man!
Rigby: I will...
[Rigby leaves the room.]
[During the wedding ceremony, Rigby is standing at the altar with Benson as the priest holding the ceremony. Mordecai is standing by Rigby's side as his best man. The door opens and Eileen walks down the aisle in her beautiful dress, as one of Muscle Man's children is scattering petals down the aisle. Rigby smiles and tears up but tries his best to keep his composure. It cuts to after the first speech and Benson asks them to take their oaths.]
Benson: Do you, Rigby, take Eileen to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for as long as you live?
Rigby: Umhhh... (Whispers to Mordecai) Quick, what am I supposed to say during this?
Mordecai: (Annoyed) You're supposed to say "I do", dude!
Rigby: (Looks back at Eileen) I do!
Benson: Very well, And do you Eileen, take Rigby to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for long as you live?
Eileen: (Gazes at Rigby lovingly) I do!
Benson: Well, that settles it then! Let's bring out the ring exchange!
[It goes silent in the auditorium as everyone waits for the next thing.]
Benson: (Looks at Mordecai nervously) I said, bring out the ring exchange!
Mordecai: Benson, I forgot the rings...
[Benson is flabbergasted at first, but then his face turns red out of fury.]
Benson: AUUUURGH!!! UNBELIEVABLE!! IT'S ONE THING TO FORGET SOMETHING IMPORTANT AT ANOTHER BIG EVENT, BUT DURING YOUR BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING!!?? I CAN'T BELIEVE I–
Rigby: (Gestures) Woah, woah, woah! Chill, Benson! I had a feeling something like this would happen, so that's why I brought my engagement ring, instead!
Mordecai and Rigby: WOAAAAHHHH!!! (In a rap-voice) Putting the ring on the wife, gonna live a happy life! Putting the ring on the wife, gonna live a happy life!
[Eileen chuckles from Rigby's song, but Benson facepalms.]
Benson: (Sighs) Let's just get this overwith...
[Rigby puts the engagement ring on Eileen's ring finger and they finally kiss happily, as the auditorium greets them with applauses. The next scene shows them back at their apartment with Rigby kicking up the door, holding Eileen in his arms. They go into their bedroom and laugh with eachother as a montage of happy memories plays.]
[Montage begins with Eileen and Rigby arriving at their newly bought house. It appears to be green-colored with some nasty mold spots surrounding it. Rigby tries to protest, but Eileen then says inaudibly that they'll be able to fix it in no time.]
[They begin painting around together, taking turns together, and meanwhile as they're fixing around the house carrying around stuff like books or lamps down and up the basement, we see how Eileen's stomach is also getting progressively bigger over time.]
[Nine months later, it's gotten so bad that Rigby is the only one doing all the chores around the house, as Eileen is sitting around without being able to do anything with her big belly and their baby that she is carrying with her.]
[And then the final scene begins with...]
Rigby: (Kicks down door) This is an emergency! We have a pregnant lady about to give birth in this chair!! We need medical health right now!
[The last scene of the flashback shows Rigby carting a nine months pregnant Eileen in a wheelchair through a hospital.]
Eileen: (Annoyed) Rigby! (Pants) Stop yelling so much! It's better if you're calmer. (To a nurse, pleasantly) Excuse me, sir! May I get some help here so my husband stops yelling?
Nurse: Sure, right this way, ma'am!
[Eileen smirks at Rigby, who appears dumbfounded over Eileen's talking skills in stressful situations.]
Rigby: (Shrugs) Well, I guess the woman in the relationship is always the smartest one! C'mon, let's go!
[Rigby carts Eileen into a labor room, where the doctors are waiting. They lift Eileen off the wheelchair into the bed, and she immediately starts screaming.]
Eileen: (Groans in pain) AUUAARGH!!! IT'S COMING OUT!!
Rigby: Don't worry, honey! You're doing great!
Eileen: ANGHHH!! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME, RIGBY!!
[Rigby starts sweating as he can't handle his wife being in so much pain.]
Rigby: (To a nurse) Hey, do you mind if I wait outside? I can't really–
Nurse: (Angrily) Shut your swine-hole and be here with your wife, you twerp!!!
Rigby: (Shocked) Alright, jeez! You don't need to scream at me!
Eileen: I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!! I CAN'T DO THIS!!
Rigby: (Grabs Eileen's hand) Don't worry, Eileen! You are the strongest and bravest woman I've ever known! Just think back of all the times you've been happy and I know that you will push this through!
Eileen: (Smiles) Alright, I trust you!
[Eileen reminisces back on previous events during the episode. We first see her and Rigby moving in, then it goes over to showing when Rigby visited her in Wyoming and made her come back again and last but not least her wedding day, showing her and Rigby kissing on the altar.]
[Cuts back to the real world again.]
Nurse: PUUUUSH!!!
Eileen: HNGHHH!!! AAAAAAA–
Rigby: AAAAAAAHHHH–
Eileen: AAAAAAAAHHHH–
Rigby: AAAAAHHHHHH– (Dizzy) Wouf... i'M fEeLing LightheaDed~...
[Rigby ends up passing out from the scenery and falls face-first to the ground. It cuts to him sleeping as he has some band-aid wrapped around his head and is laying in a bed next to Eileen.]
[Rigby then gets woken up by some baby laughter being heard.]
Rigby: Ugh... what happened...?
Eileen: You passed out...
Rigby: Huh? I did?
Eileen: Yeah, you couldn't handle the pressure of your own screaming so your blood rushed out of your brain and made you lightheaded. Now, you wanna see the big surprise, honey?
[Rigby gets up from his bed and walks over to Eileen's hospital bed He holds his hand with Eileen as he puts his other arm around her.]
[Eileen lifts the blanket and reveals two beautiful girls: A raccoon and a mole girl. Rigby starts getting tears in his eyes gazing upon his new-born twins.]
Rigby: They're... beautiful!
[Eileen notices Rigby tearing up.]
Eileen: Aw, don't be such a crybaby! Now say hello to your new daughters!
[Eileen gently hands the two daughters over to Rigby.]
Eileen: What shall we name them?
Rigby: Well... (Sniffs) What about we name the one who has the most from your side Eileen Jr.?
Eileen: Eileen Jr.? I like that name! What about the one resembling you the most?
[Suddenly, the raccoon baby grabs a hold of Eileen's hair and pulls it. They both share a laugh as Rigby pulls her away from her mother.]
Rigby: I think Rigleen, perhaps?
Eileen: Rigleen? Why that name?
Rigby: (Smiles) Because she has the goofiness from me, and the joyfulness from you...
Eileen: Rigleen and Eileen Jr... I like those names...
Rigby: I knew that you would...
[They both embrace in a quick kiss one last time, before the memories ends and it goes back once again to 48-year old Rigby again, back in his sunchair. His pupils contracts back to their normal state.]
Rigby: (Gasps for air and coughs) Ugh... where am I now?
Death: You're back in real life again, mate! You were gone for at least 10 minutes.
Rigby: Oh yeah, I remember now! (Smiles) Man, it felt like I relived my entire life again!
Death: (Sighs) Yeah, that's the whole point of a memory ball, dimwit! Alright I gotta bail! See ya in the afterlife sometime!
Rigby: Wait, hold on!
[Death stops walking and groans, annoyed.]
Rigby: Before you leave, could I just revisit my memories one more time?
Death: (Deadpan) No. My wife has returned home as she's not in the bushes anymore so I don't have time for this, mate. (Points at Rigby) Now what I think you should do is to go apprecite ya wife after what I showed you, aye? She's in the house waiting for ya right now.
Rigby: (Smiles) Thanks, Death. I will.
Death: You're a good bloke, mate! Tell Mordo I said hi, aye?
[Death swings with his scythe in thin air and a green portal appears with souls escaping it. He steps inside and him and the portal then disappears. It's the last that we see from death in this episode.]
[After Death's disappearance, Mordecai jogs outside, carrying a soda.]
Mordecai: Sorry it took a while, dude! I accidentally clogged your toilet so I had to fix it... (He holds up a wet stick with a broken end embarassingly.) And I think that you're gonna have to buy a new plunger, too...
Rigby: Pshh! It's fine! Just take a seat in the sunchair. (He gestures to Mordecai to sit down.)
Mordecai: (Raises an eyebrow suspiciously) Are you sure that it's fine? Everytime I break something here you usually go haywire on me.
Rigby: (Gestures) No no no! I promise! I want to talk to you about what you said earlier.
Mordecai: Uh-huh? (He sits down in the empty sunchair next to Rigby's) So did you think about what I said, then?
Rigby: Yeah, and you know what? You're right! Things might never be brilliant in my life compared to Don's life, but at least I have something that Don doesn't have, and that is Eileen. Thanks for saying the truth back there, dude!
Mordecai: No problem, man! I'm happy that you're thinking things through on the positive side.
[Rigby cracks open his soda and starts drinking from it.]
Rigby: Say, do you think I should go inside and just help out Eileen? I feel like after sitting here thinking about my life, I feel like she needs my company!
Mordecai: Yeah, go for it, man! I won't go anywhere.
Rigby: Great!
[Rigby puts his soda down on the grass and gets up from his chair.]
[Cuts to inside the house as Rigby steps inside. He sees Eileen still doing the dishes.]
Eileen: (Without looking back) Oh Rigby, I changed my mind! What if you take the dishes here and I'll clean up in the backyard, alright?
[Without saying anything, Rigby slowly walks up to Eileen and wraps his arms around her, hugging her from behind. Eileen gets surprised and stops cleaning the dishes.]
Eileen: Oh... uh, is everything okay, honey?
Rigby: (Smiles) Yeah, I just felt like giving my wife a hug, that's it...
Eileen: (Smiles) Aw, honey
[Eileen turns around and gives her husband a proper hug back. Rigby then grabs her by the hand.]
Rigby: Come. I want to show you something.
Eileen: Okay...? This sounds really weird, but I'm sort of digging it!
[Rigby takes Eileen out to the living room and gestures to her to take a seat in the sofa. She sits down and Rigby is now standing in front of her.]
Rigby: Now take off your ring.
Eileen: My wedding ring? (Protests) No way, it stays on!
Rigby: Aurgh! Fine! (He grabs Eileen's hand and points at her ring finger.) You see that?
Eileen: (Slightly confused) Hmm... I don't see anything?
[The camera zooms in on the golden ring. It reveals that on the ring there is a small, carved in waffle chocolate cake.]
Rigby: You see that waffle chocolate cake carved in there?
Eileen: Yeah, I think actually I see it now. What does it mean?
Rigby: That, my wife, is the first time I actually fell in love with you. When you first served it to me for free at the coffee shop!
Eileen: (Surprised) Really? How did I not notice it until now? And howcome you never told me about it!?
Rigby: (Happily) Because today is a special day. Because after today, I think I am in love with you...
Eileen: Aw, I am in love with you too, honey!
[They both smile happily at eachother. The episode then finally comes to an end.]
