Same Day: Dipper's House

Inside: Garage / Workshop

Dipper, researching and trying to figure out what happened to Soos, asks JARVIS as he climbs up the table, then his large toolbox, and sits on top of it as he now sees the whole hologram, "Bring up the thermogenic signatures again. Factor in 3,000 degrees."

JARVIS's voice explains as he brings up maps and heat signatures, "The Oracle cloud has completed analysis. Accessing satellites and plotting the last 12 months of thermogenic occurrence now."

Dipper looked down at the map and the heat signatures, "Take away everywhere that there's been a Mandarin attack." Most of the signatures disappear, and Dipper looks at the information popping up; SAN FAFAEL, CALIFORNIA ^1310, "Nope." He then looks at SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI ^870. He shakes his head 'no', he moves on and sees an attack in ROSE HILL, TENNESSEE ^3000 and points at it, "That. You sure that's not one of his?" The information appears in some reports.

JARVIS's voice tells Dipper, "It predates any known Mandarin attack. The incident was the use of a bomb to assist a suicide."

Dipper orders, "Bring it around." JARVIS moves the info closer to Dipper.

JARVIS's voice explains as Dipper reads, "The heat signature is remarkably similar. 3,000 degrees Celsius."

Dipper looks at all the information being presented on the Tennessee attack and a military soldier named Chester McBadbat. Dipper mutters to himself, "That's two military guys." He asks JARVIS, "Ever been to Tennessee, Jarvis?"

JARVIS obeys the command, "Creating a flight plan for Tennessee."

A second later, Dipper swipes the hologram with his arms and disappears. He hears his doorbell ring, confused; he looks to his right and sees a car pull up, a person getting out of the car but doesn't see their face, "Are we still at 'ding-dong'?" He looks around, "We're supposed to be on total-" He bangs the box he's sitting on with his fist a couple of times, "...security lockdown." He complains, "Come on, I threatened a terrorist. Who is that?"

JARVIS's voice tells Dipper as he gets off the box and runs off, "There's only so much I can do, sir-"


Outside: Sky

JARVIS's voice says, "-when you give the world's press your home address." A couple of news channel helicopters flew above the house.


Inside: Dipper's House

Front Entrance / Living Room

Trixie Tang is standing outside the front glass doors and knocking, waiting. The door buzzes and opens. Trixie enters, looking at the automatic door, surprised and confused. She walks in a few steps and, unnoticed by her, JARVIS scans her with a blue light, in case she's alarmed and dangerous or not.

Dipper, dressed in his prehensile suit, walks a few steps, then stops as he orders Trixie, "Right there is fine." Trixie stops and raises her eyebrows at him, "You're not the Mandarin." His face mask lifts, and he looks at her and questions, "Are you?" He raises his eyebrows, giving her a pointed look, "Are you?"

Trixie smiles, nods, and says, "You don't remember." She chuckles humorously, "Why am I not surprised?"

Dipper tells Trixie, "Don't take it personally. I don't remember what I had for breakfast."

JARVIS's voice intervenes, "Gluten-free waffles, sir."

Dipper doesn't break his stare from Trixie as he agrees to JARVIS, "That's right."

Trixie tells Dipper on a serious note, "Okay, look, I need to be alone with you, someplace not here." She gestures around the house, "It's urgent."

Dipper narrows his eyes at Trixie for a second before turning around and walking towards the living room, telling her, "Normally, I'd go for that sort of thing, but now I'm in a committed relationship." He stops as Trixie follows him a few steps behind, "It's..." Suddenly, two bags are thrown down one by one from above the balcony, right beside him, "...with her." He finishes loudly as he looks up, knowing Pacifica threw the bags.

Pacifica shouts, "Dipper?" Dipper sighs knowingly.

Mabel calls out, "Is somebody there?" Dipper casually steps out of his suit.

Dipper answers loudly for them to hear, "Yeah, it's Trixie Tang." Trixie looks at him, surprised he remembers her name, "Remember Mabel?" Trixie's eyes light up at the mention of Mabel, "Old botanist pal I used to know, barely." Dipper walks more into the living room as Trixie follows while Mabel and Pacifica walk downstairs. Dipper moves towards Trixie and speaks quietly, "Please don't tell me there's a 12-year-old kid waiting in the car that I've never met."

Trixie jokes humorously, "He's 13." Dipper flinches and inhales sharply in surprise, "No, I need your help." Dipper sighs in relief.

Dipper asks earnestly, "But what for? Why now?"

Trixie tells Dipper bluntly, "Because I read the papers, and frankly, I don't think you'll last the week."

Dipper nods, accepting Trixie's concern, "I'll be fine."

Mabel smiles, "Hi Trixie. It's nice to meet you again." She walks closer to Dipper and Trixie.

Trixie smiles in greeting, "Hi." Pacifica follows behind Mabel.

Pacifica interrupts, smiling sarcastically, "I'm sorry. With Soos in the hospital, I didn't know we were expecting guests." She stands on Dipper's right as Mabel stands on Pacifica's right, the three facing Trixie.

Dipper cuts in, "We weren't."

Trixie starts but gets cut off, "No, I-"

Pacifica finishes with fake enthusiasm, "And old girlfriends!"

Dipper denies it, "She's not, really." He puts his hand on Pacifica's lower back to keep her calm and not snap at Trixie.

Trixie shrugs as she looks at Dipper, "No, not really. I... it was just one night."

Dipper says, "Yep." Trixie's look does not faze him.

Pacifica looks at Dipper as she asks and smiles sarcastically, "That's how you did it, isn't it?"

Mabel, listening as she stands there, comments, "Yep." She remembers how close they were that night before leaving to go to bed.

Dipper says, "It was a great night." Pacifica gives him a quick glare before turning back to Trixie.

Pacifica looks and says to Trixie calmly, "Well, you know-"

Trixie shrugs carelessly in a so-so manner at Dipper's statement, "Yeah."

Pacifica finishes as she gives a significant look to Trixie, "-You have saved yourself a world of pain."

Dipper turns to Pacifica, confused and a little offended, "What?"

Pacifica tells Trixie, "Trust me." Dipper tugs on her waist a little for her to look at him.

Trixie states, "I'm sure." Pacifica turns to Dipper with a pointed stern look.

Pacifica sternly tells Dipper, "We're going out of town."

Dipper argues, "Okay, we've been through this. Nope."

Mabel cuts in loudly as she turns to Dipper, "Yep!" She is half-facing Pacifica's back.

Dipper looks at Mabel, saying stubbornly, "The man says no."

Pacifica says, basically shouting, "Immediately and indefinitely!" Dipper looks away from his sister and girlfriend, annoyed.

Dipper starts as he looks back at Pacifica, "Honey..."

Trixie cuts in enthusiastically, "Great idea. Let's go." She steps back to grab Pacifica's bags.

Dipper says to Trixie impatiently, getting mad, "I'm sorry. That's a terrible idea. Please don't touch her bags." He points sternly at Trixie in the last sentence.

Mabel sees Dipper's getting mad and says calmly and softly, "Dipper. This is how normal people behave."

Dipper snaps as he says to Pacifica and Mabel, "I can't protect you out there. I challenged-"

Mabel argues a bit, "I'm not little anymore, Dipper. I-"

Trixie notices the giant stuffed rabbit Dipper had bought for Pacifica by the stairs. She points at it and asks, "Is... is that normal?"

Mabel smiles knowingly, "Sadly, that-"

Dipper snaps immediately as he shouts to Trixie, "Yes, this is normal!"

Mabel nods knowingly as she finishes, "...is very normal."

Dipper continues to shout at Trixie, stressed and frustrated, "It's a big bunny. Relax about it!" Trixie turns away awkwardly as she mouths, 'Okay'.

Pacifica touches Dipper's arm that's on her waist, "Calm down!" She says loudly and is still calm.

Dipper turns to Pacifica and stresses, "I got this for you." Trixie notices the TV on the wall showing live footage of the house with the headline, 'DIPPER ISSUES THREAT'.

Pacifica tells Dipper, slowly losing her temper, "I'm aware of that."

Dipper continues as he points at the rabbit, "You still haven't even told me you liked it!"

Pacifica finally snaps, "I don't like it!" Mabel crosses her arms and drops her head on her left hand, shaking her head knowingly and annoyed, stressed out by this seemingly endless argument.

Dipper says impatiently, "I asked you three-" He realizes and repeats, annoyed, "You don't like it?!" Trixie slowly realizes what's happening as she stares at the TV.

Mabel finally shouts over the couple as she lets her hands fall to her sides, "We are leaving, guys."

Trixie tries to get their attention, "Guys?"

Mabel continues to argue, "That's not even up for discussion." The three did not notice Trixie pointing at the TV.

Dipper tells them stubbornly, "I said no."

Trixie says loudly in nervousness, "Can we um..."

Dipper says to Trixie, annoyed/impatient, "What?" The three finally turn to face Trixie and what she's pointing at.

Trixie takes a second as she points with her left finger at them. She then turns her head and points with her right finger at the TV screen, showing a bomb heading straight for the house.

Mabel turns her head to the TV with a gasp, Pacifica takes a step back from Dipper with her eyes narrowed at the TV, Dipper staring at the TV with wide eyes, the three looking at the TV, surprised and shocked with realization hitting them, Trixie asks them, "Do we need to worry about that?"


Outside: Sky

The missile is heading closer to Dipper's house.


Inside: Dipper's House

Living Room

They all turn to the window and watch as the missile smashes in through it and explodes, sending the four flying back.

(Slow Motion) Pieces of cement fly around them. Pacifica is flying back, surprised. Mabel flies back in the opposite direction from Pacifica and Dipper, getting in-paled by a few flying glasses. Dipper looks at Pacifica and moves his arms, signaling towards her, and his Iron Man suit latches on to Pacifica to protect her from impact, and he covers his head. Pacifica looks forward with narrow eyes as the last piece, the facial silt attaches.

(Slow Motion Over) Pacifica hits the wall behind her a second after Dipper hits the wall, groaning when he hits it hard. Mabel hits the wall by the stairs, her left shoulder hitting the corner of the wall. Dipper lands on the floor and rolls on his back in pain from the impact. Mabel landed on her right side with her head on her arm, unconscious, facing Dipper's direction.


Outside: Sky

Three helicopters headed towards Dipper's house over the water. Giffany in one of them, chewing her gum casually. The back sides of the helicopter open, revealing missiles aimed at the house.


Inside: Dipper's House

Living Room

Dipper grunts, still feeling the impact, as he sits up, leaning on his left forearm, and looks over to Trixie, who's lying unconscious on the ground. He looks over and sees Mabel by the basement stairs with medium size piece of glass impaled on her left side. She slowly went conscious, groaning in pain. Dipper's eyes widen as the blood sweeps through Mabel's shirt. He shouts worriedly, "Mabel!" He hears a cracking sound. He looks up and sees the ceiling cracking, about to fall on him but gets saved by Pacifica, who goes on top of him, still in the suit, and takes the impact of the cement pieces as it falls on her back, not harming her.

The mask lifts, showing Pacifica's relieved face, and she says, "I got you."

Dipper looks at Pacifica seriously, "I got you first." He then realizes with wide eyes, "Where's Phillip?"

Pacifica answers calmly and relievedly, "He's with Candy."

Dipper looks at Pacifica in relief before quickly telling her, "As I said, we can't stay here." He gets up.
