[The shot opens on the exterior of an ordinary house, which zooms up to a bedroom where a boy, Morty, is scribbling at his desk.]
MORTY: Oh, boy, I do love being a child and having no adult responsibilities.
[An elderly man, Rick, enters the room without knocking and belches loudly.]
RICK: Come with me, Morty. I must go into space, and possibly also time travel.
MORTY: But, Rick! I'm a child and must attend to my school work.
RICK: No, Morty. I'm older than you so you must obey.
[Rick belches. The shot cuts to Rick and Morty flying in a spaceship from time and space]
MORTY: Oh, Rick. Where are we going?
RICK: Who knows, Morty. Who knows.
[Morty glances up at Rick]
MORTY: But what do you need me for? I'm just a kid.
RICK: It's called being an adult! It means you're irresponsible!
[Planets and vortexes whirl past their spaceship. Morty glances at the camera then back again]
MORTY: And - this is entertaining?
[Rick belches]
RICK: Sure, why not.
[Morty pauses]
MORTY: I mean, I could be at home safe and warm. Do oogie boogie monsters appear? Because that's Doctor Who.
