Transcript
(Episode starts with Morty leaving to go to College)

 

Morty’s Mom: Oh son, I’m so proud of you!

 

Morty: Yeah whatever. Well, see you!

 

Morty’s Mom: Bye!

 

(Morty goes into his car)

 

Morty: Alright, next phase of my life, here I go.

 

(3 months later)

 

Teacher: Morty, you get a D+ on your music test.

 

Morty: What? How…

 

(Morty walks out of the classroom when a group of boys approach him.)

 

The Bubble Poppin’ Boys: Hey, we heard you like Rock music, huh?

 

Morty: Yeah, I do.

 

The Bubble Poppin’ Boys: We’ve been watching you and you seem to be a good fit for our group. Wanna join?

 

Morty: Well uh…(looks at grade)...sure.

 

(2 more weeks later)

 

The Bubble Poppin’ Boys: Welcome back, Morty.

 

Morty: Hey guys. What’s for tonight? Rock n’ Roll?

 

The Bubble Poppin’ Boys: Nope! We’ll smoke kelp again!

 

Morty: Ooh, yes.

 

The Bubble Poppin’ Boys: Mmm. You have done well. Now, earlier today, we all dropped out of college. You think you could do the same?

 

Morty: What?- I mean..I guess so.

 

The Bubble Poppin’ Boys: That’s the spirit!

 

(The next day…)

 

Morty (calling his mom): Yeah, I’m dropping out to be in this group. No, it’s not a gang, it’s a band! Stop it with the hypnotising nonsense! I’ll just live at your house...wait, what? You won’t let me move in? Wait, please-

 

(His mom hangs up)

 

Morty: ...I don’t need her. I can live with The Bubble Poppin’ Boys.

 

(Later)

 

Morty: Hey guys...can I live with you? My mom kicked me out and it would be easier for us to make rock songs together!

 

The Bubble Poppin’ Boys: Time to tell you the truth. We hate you.

 

Morty: What?

 

The Bubble Poppin’ Boys: Hahaha, we only used you to do illegal things! Besides, we’re moving to New Kelp City, stay in the damn Bikini Bottom where you belong.

 

(They kick him out)

 

Morty: Well, uhh, I just gotta get money, then I’ll be happy!

 

(One month later, Morty is sitting in a cardboard box, that is falling apart quickly)

 

Morty: (crying): Anyone? Please help!

 

Fish: What a weirdo.

 

Morty: Oh, what to do…

 

(He sees a fish putting up a poster for Glove World hiring)

 

Morty: Glove World...ugh. That place is the most boring job, but...I heard it’s easy to get. Well, I don’t have a choice, do I? I gotta toughen up.

 

(One week later)

 

Boss: So, you want a job here, eh?

 

Morty: Yeah, let’s get this over with. I’ve done nothing with my life and have had no experience on anything, but here’s a tip.

 

(Morty gives him one cent)

 

Boss: You are a damn person all right.

 

(Morty shivers)

 

Boss: You’re hired!

 

Morty: Oh thank god.

 

Boss: You can start today!

 

(Morty is dressed up in a costume of the mascot)

 

Morty (thinking): Oh, why. Just look at all of those people. Pathetic. Why don’t they suffer and I do? Why Neptune, why is this costume so hot?

 

(2 fish walk up to him)

 

SpongeBob: Get closer, Patrick.

 

Patrick: Nuh-uh.

 

Morty (thinking): These people are adult men? God, they really are pathetic.

 

SpongeBob: Come on, closer. That's it, a little more. Now hold onto his thumb. Give me a big smile.

 

Morty (thinking): Ugh, this is awkward.

 

Patrick: How do I look? Wow, I look great.

 

Morty (thinking): Can’t this day go faster? Ok Morty, don’t worry. This will all be worth it soon.
