Passing The System/Transcript

Teacher: Hello, class! Welcome back! It’s time for your Solar System project! Build a model as good as you can of the Solar System. You can be up to a group of 3. Start working!

Goo: Okay, it’s us 3. So, what should we do?

Rico: I’m thinking we build a tall model, so we can make the planets hang. A box would lay on the ground, then go up and over.

Will: Ooh, that’s cool. Goo? Any thoughts?

Goo: I would say we build stick-like things and put the planets on those.

Will: Also cool. Hmm… yeah, I feel like the hanging model would fall over. Yeah, I think Goo’s idea is good.

Rico: Then let’s “goo!” (Laughs) Get it?

Will: (Chuckles)

Goo: [Squeezes gray clay into a ball] Got Mercury done.

Will: I got Venus. [Holds up small model of Venus]

Rico: [Holds medium-sized model of the Sun] I got the Sun.

The scene cuts to Will’s house

Will: Well, it took us a while, but we did it. (Yawns)

Scientist: Wait, pause there. [Animation stops, the screen zooms out to show lab] See? Goo people!

Scientist 2: Wow, you think they’re real?

Scientist: I bet. We’ll have to check it out.

The scene cuts to outside Will’s house

Goo: (Muffled) Well, that was fun. Should we go show Jake?

Will: (Muffled) Yeah. Let’s go bring it to him to show him. [Walks out with Goo and Rico, both transformed into humans]

Scientist: Hands up.

Rico: Huh?

Scientist: You heard us. Hands up. We’re going to search.

Will: What did we do? We haven’t done anything!

Scientist 2: There’s a weird species that we believe is in your house. Now, let us go in and search.

Will: What will you do to them?

Scientist: They’ll be fine. Unless they won’t talk.

Will: Then sure. Check the house. I think they plan to beat you up instead. Also, I think you don’t even know who you’re talking to.

Scientist: What do you mean?

Goo: [Turns into base self, wraps around Scientist 1, Rico wraps around Scientist 2] Bam. Now you see what he meant.

Scientist: Nah. I think you’re coming with us. [Peels Goo off of self, peels Rico off of Scientist 2, puts them in a jar]

Goo: [Banging inside jar] (Muffled) Help!

Will: Stop! Give them back.

Scientist: Why? These are ours until we know everything we can about them.

Will: Well, give me them back! You can just ask them in the jar what you want to ask them, and just take notes! Also, if you want them to answer questions, they need breathing holes. They breathe.

Scientist: We can keep them. After all, they’ll be back with you soon. [Walks to a car, gets in, drives away]

The scene cuts to lab, pods

Scientist: Alright. You’ll be in there for a while until we’ve found out what we need to know about your species.

Scientist 2: Until then, need something to eat?

Goo: (Muffled) Nah, we’re fine.

Rico: (Muffled) I’m hungry, but not taking stuff from you.

Scientist: Okay, anything to know about you two?

Rico: Well- [Goo extends an arm, zips zipper on Rico’s mouth]

Goo: Rico, be quiet. We’re not saying that.

Rico: (Muffled) Unzip my mouth.

Goo: No. You spill it every time you think you have to. [Scientists write in the book] Okay, what are you doing?

Scientist: We’re researching you two. What kind of species are you and do you live in groups of some sort?

Goo: Like towns and stuff?

Scientist: Yeah. We’re just wanting to know, but if you can help us, then we can help you with some things if you want.

Goo: Rico, what do you say to that?

Rico: (Muffled) Good.

Goo: Okay, promise you won’t break into our town once you get the name and location.

Scientist: I promise. Ennis, what do you say?

(Scientist 2) Ennis: I don’t know until you tell me.

Goo: Okay, then. Good. So, there’s a place called- [Ventilation door creaks open] Hey, Will.

Will: Shh.

Scientist: Well, well, well. Why are you here to collect these innocent little guys?

Will: They’ve chosen me over you, and nothing will tear us apart.

Ennis: I doubt that. [Grabs Stun Gun, points at Will, shoots]

Will: I knew it. [Puts up Trash Lid, stun bullet deflects, hits Ennis, Ennis drops the gun, stands still, Will rolls over to gun, picks up the gun] Let them out.

Scientist: Wow, you sure have a deep connection with them. But let me ask you this: Were you of any responsibility the day they came to this world? Any sort of connection at the beginning of their life?

Will: I can stun you.

Scientist: Yes, you can. But I believe that you haven’t fully met them to- [Will stuns Scientist]

Will: That guy was annoying.

Goo: Yes, he was. Well, thanks for getting us out.

Will: No problem. [Hits button, pod doors open] There.

Goo: [Hops into Will’s hands] Oh, thank you.

Will: So, what’d he ask you?

Goo: Kinda what Adam said when he first found out I’m Gooian.

Scientist: You’re not getting away that easily.

Rico: I got it. [Hops into Scientist’s ear, hops back out] I put his brain to sleep. It should be back in a couple of days.

Will: Well, time to go. [Walks out of the lab with Goo and Rico]

The scene cuts to the lab, midnight

Scientist: [Wakes up]

Ennis: [Gets up from research chair] Yes! You’re alive and awake! I thought you might have, uh, you know what I mean.

Scientist: What day is it?

Ennis: It’s been, around three days since you tried to get the goo duo.

Scientist: I saw you get hit. When’d you get back up?

Ennis: A few minutes later. It felt weird, but I eventually started to get back up and started to look around for things. No luck so far.

Scientist: I got an idea. [Gets up, goes to the computer, starts typing, scrolls down, clicks mouse]

Alex: Hello, people of Lakemist Middle School! Today, I’ve got something to tell you that will blow your mind!

Scientist: I think we found some information on this goo duo.
