Same Day: Pines Industries
Inside: Waiting Area
Soos bites back at Dipper, who's on video call on Soos's tablet, "You know what? You should take more of an interest in what's going on here. This woman is the best thing that ever happened to you, and you... you're just ignoring her." He looks inside Pacifica's office, sees Bill stepping down from the coffee table, and takes Pacifica's hand to help her down.
Dipper's House: Wine Cellar
Dipper stands in front of a fridge door, holds up his phone, and asks, secretly jealous, "A giant brain?"
Soos's voice tells Dipper, "Yeah. There's a giant brain. There's a shifty character?"
Pines Industries: Waiting Area
Soos rants Dipper on his tablet, "I'm going to follow this guy. I'm going to run his plates, and I'm going to..." He glances at Giffany, who's sitting and looking straight forward, almost glaring as she folds a piece of paper that's probably from the magazine, "You know, if it gets rough, so be it."
Dipper's House: Wine Cellar
Now with the fridge open, Dipper grabs a bottle from the rack and tells Soos sincerely, "I miss you, Soos." He looks the bottle over.
Pines Industries: Waiting Area
Soos tells Dipper honestly, "Yeah, I miss you too. But the way it used to be."
Dipper's House: Wine Cellar
Soos's voice continues as Dipper looks at the bottle in his hand, "Now you're off with the super-friends. I don't know what's going on with you anymore. The world's getting weird-"
Dipper cuts Soos off, "Hey, I-I'd hate to cut you off. Do you have your taser on you?"
Soos's voice questions, "Why?"
Dipper lies and stutters a bit, "I think there's a gal in HR who's trying to steal some perimeter ink. You should probably go over there and zap her." He puts his small phone in his wine fridge, closes it, and walks off with Soos still online.
Soos, barely noticing Dipper walking away, his voice says sarcastically, "Yeah, nice." Dipper walks back over to Phillip, who tries to reach up and grab the wine glass.
Dipper quickly, swiftly, and gently grabs Phillip and picks him up away from the wine, "Not for you, buddy. Not for another 20 years..." He walks back to the stairs, "Plus, your mommy and aunt will bite my head off if that ever happens."

Inside: Pacifica's Office
Bill has finished showing and telling Pacifica his new research in her office, and she makes a final decision. Now Pacifica's sitting on a one-seater couch facing Bill on her left, and Bill's on the same couch but the right side facing her.
Bill finishes his pitch on his work, "Imagine if you could hack into the hard drive of any living organism and recode its DNA."
Pacifica compliments as she closes her lip and smiles at Bill, "It would be incredible."
Bill agrees, humming, "Mm."
Pacifica continues professionally and politely, "Unfortunately, to my ears, it also sounds highly weaponizable. As in, enhanced soldiers, private armies, and Dipper is not-"
Bill interrupts calmly, "Dipper. Dipper. You know, I invited Dipper to join AIM 13 years ago. He turned me down." He tries to persuade Pacifica to agree in another way, "But something tells me now there's a new genius on the throne who doesn't have to answer to Dipper anymore and who has slightly less of an ego."
Pacifica narrows her eyes a bit as she sees right through Bill, the action unnoticeable to him, and denies politely, "It's going to be a no, Bill. As much as I'd like to help you."
Mabel walks into Pacifica's office, "Sorry to interrupt your meeting Pacifica, but I..." She cuts herself off and looks at Bill, who stands up to greet her.
Bill tells Mabel as he shakes her hand, "No worries. We were finishing up."
Mabel inspects Bill, "I'm sorry, who are you?"
Bill answers, smiling, "Bill Cipher." Mabel remembers the name but keeps her surprise to herself, but Pacifica notices the shock and narrows her eyes at that.
Mabel fakes a believable smile and tells Bill, "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Cipher."
Bill narrows his eyes a bit at Mabel, very faintly though, "It's nice meeting you too. Please call me Bill." They let go of each other's hands.
Mabel nods and smiles politely, "Okay... Bill." She clasps her hands together in front of her professionally.
Bill smiles, then tells Mabel, "Unfortunately, I should be going. As Pacifica has made the final decision." He grabs his things.
Mabel smiles, almost shaking it off, but stands straight, "Well, I hope everything else went smoothly for you guys."
Pacifica stands up, telling Mabel, "It did." She smiles politely, then turns to Bill, "I'll escort you." She leads him to the exit.
Outside: Front Entrance
Bill opens the door, leaving the building with Pacifica behind him.
Bill tells Pacifica about her final decision, "Well, I can't say I'm not disappointed. But then, as my father used to say, 'Failure is the dog through which we glimpse triumph.'" He stands in front of her.
Pacifica states, "That's deep."
Bill hums, "Mm."
Pacifica continues with a fake amusement smile appearing on her face, "And I do not know what it means."
Bill tells Pacifica, "No, me neither. He was kind of an idiot, my old man." Pacifica looks down, chuckling as he looks at her intently, then tells her as she lifts her head back up and looks at him smiling, "I'm sure I'll see you again, Pacifica." Bill kisses her gently on the cheek, and Pacifica's smile disappears as she watches him walk off. Pacifica then turns around and notices Soos coming toward her.
Pacifica startled, "Soos..." She looks a little flustered.
Soos informs her as he watches Pacifica's flustered state with suspicious eyes, "Car's ready if you're ready to go." He points at her car in the lot.
Pacifica glances over to Bill as he walks towards his car, with Giffany opening the backdoor for him. For the first time, Pacifica stutters and stumbles her words, "Yes. I just um... God, I forgot my other thing and Mabel, so I'm just going to..." She smiles at him and gestures inside as she opens the door and walks back into the building.
Soos glance over suspiciously to Bill's car as Giffany gets in and drives away. Soos takes out his cell phone, holds it up, and takes a photo of their license plate.
Evening: Outside
Dipper's House
Pacifica drives behind Mabel's car as they drive up the driveway of Dipper's home. They both look out their windshields and stare at something in surprise as they turn off the engines and take off their seatbelts.
They both get out of their cars with their stuff in hand, meeting up in the middle and standing together as they stare up at the giant stuffed rabbit outside the house Dipper bought for Pacifica as a gift.
Mabel gestures at the rabbit with her right hand, at a loss for words, "What... what's the deal with that?"
Pacifica answers as she stares at the rabbit, "I do not know."
Inside: Living Room
Pacifica walks inside first, with Mabel following. Pacifica calls out as she walks through the front area, "I'm sorry I'm late." She looks at her watch as she walks up on Mabel's left side, looking through her bag, then looks up, "I was... What the...? What is that?!" She notices Dipper sitting in his Iron Man suit on the couch with his right arm on the back of it as his right foot is on his left knee in a cross-legged manner. Pacifica questions lightly, "You're wearing this in the house now? What is that, like Mark 15?" Mabel looks away knowingly as she and Pacifica walk closer.
Dipper stands up and looks at the small number marked 'MK 42' on the suit, "Uh... yeah. Something like that. You know everybody needs a hobby." He walks toward Pacifica as she sits on one of the chairs in the living room.
Pacifica asks with a small amused smile, "Oh, and you have to wear your hobby into the living room?"
Dipper walks closer to her as Mabel sits beside her on another chair. Between them is a glass table. Dipper's voice explains, "Just breaking it in. You know, it's always a little pinch in the gooey bag at first, so..." Mabel laughs. Pacifica chuckles in amusement as she takes off her heels, "Oh hey, did you see your Christmas present?"
Mabel asks, "For who?"
Dipper's voice answers smartly, "Pacifica." Mabel does an 'O' shape with her mouth and nods understandably, grateful that it wasn't her present.
Pacifica answered gently and nicely as she didn't like her present, "Yes, I did. I... I don't know how I could have missed that Christmas present. Is it going to fit through the door?" She leans back, grabs a few fan mail, and smiles at the kid's drawing of Iron Man.
Dipper's voice answers as he gestures at the wall behind him, "Well, actually, uh... it's a good question. I got a team of guys coming tomorrow. They're going to blow out that wall." Mabel leans back, surprised at the news, and gives him a look, which he ignores.
Pacifica, not caring, "Okay."
Dipper walks closer to Pacifica. His voice asks, "So, uh... tense? Good day?" He walks behind and starts massaging her shoulders, "Ooh shoulders, a little knotty. Naughty girl." Pacifica leans her head back, enjoying the massage, "I don't wanna harp on this, but did you like the custom rabbit?" Mabel is also looking at the fan mail. She and Pacifica exchange a look at his question, and it goes unnoticed by Dipper.
Pacifica lifts her head, "Did I like it?" She repeats gently.
Dipper was proud of himself, "Nailed it, right?"
Pacifica tells Dipper, "Wow. I appreciate the thought very much." She turns to face Dipper, rises from her seat, stands close to him, and asks seductively, "So why don't you lift the face mask and give me a kiss?" Mabel looks away awkwardly as she hears the question.
Dipper's voice imitates computer beeps and knocks the metal helmet on his head, not opening it, "Huh... Yup, dammit. No can do. You wanna kiss it on the..." He gestures to the mask. Mabel is still looking away and narrows her eyes suspiciously at his answer.
Pacifica is also suspicious but masks her expression as she mumbles, "Uh-huh."
Dipper's voice finishes his question, "The facial slit?" Mabel looks over at them and puts down the fan mail.
Pacifica tells Dipper as she secretly gestures for Mabel to follow with her hand, "Well, why don't I run down to the garage and see if I can't find a crowbar to jimmy that thing open?" She says to Dipper seductively.
Dipper under Pacifica's spell as his voice says, "Crowbar. Yeah." Pacifica walks towards the stairs down to Dipper's workshop. Dipper sees Mabel get up and follows Pacifica, snapping out of it, "Oh! Except there's been a... uh... a radiation leak."
Mabel tells Dipper as she follows Pacifica down the stairs, "We'll take our chances."
Dipper's voice calls out as he follows, "That's risky."
