Ben 10: Alien Force, Season 2

Ben:
[enters his family home] I'm home! What's for dinner? [sees his parents standing sternly in front of him] 'Sup?

Sandra:
[sternly] Where have you been, young man?

Ben:
I was at the movies, with Julie. I know I should have told you. Sorry, I--

Sandra:
[notices Ben's black eye and gasps in shock] Carl, look at his eye!

Carl:
That's quite a shiner.

Sandra:
If that was another three inches higher, you could have put your eye out!

Ben:
Fine. I admit it. I got in a l-little fight. It's no big deal. There was this jerk at school, and…

Carl:
Ben, are you sure it was a kid at school…and not… a giant alien creature?

[Ben gets a shocked expression on his face]

Sandra:
I can't believe it. You look us straight in the eye and lie to us over and over again.

Carl:
We saw you, Ben. We saw you turn into that thing!

Ben:
No. You just think you saw. [Carl grabs his left arm and points to the Omnitrix] I can explain.

Sandra:
Really?

Ben:
N-not so much, no. [talks to his parents while sitting on the sofa a little later] ...Which allows me to access the genetic code of various extraterrestrial forms in order to battle the DNAliens, who will stop at nothing in their quest to take over the Earth!

Carl:
And this became your job when, exactly?

Ben:
Five years ago. Grandpa Max said we each have a responsibility to--

Carl:
Oh, of course! Dad. I should have known. That's so typical!

Ben:
He was more than just a Plumber. He--

Carl:
…Lied to us! Your uncle Frank and I knew he had some other life, we knew, and that he lied to us about it all the time! I won't have you lying, too!

Sandra:
It's our own fault. We were too permissive, and what did we get? A 15-year-old son needlessly risking his life!

Ben:
[stands up from the sofa] Not needlessly, Mom. It has to be me. The Omnitrix is attatched to me, it doesn't come off.

Carl:
Oh, it's coming off, all right. [Later, he uses some of his tools to try and get the Omnitrix off of Ben's arm and eventually fails] Okay, it's not coming off.

Ben:
I tried to tell you.

Carl:
Not a scratch!

Ben:
Sorry about your saw blades.

Carl:
In any case, you're forbidden from using the Omnitrix. Understand?

Ben:
But, Dad… [his cellphone starts vibrating in his pocket] all humanity is counting…

Carl:
[opens the door; sternly] Understand? [leaves and slams the door]

Ben:
[takes his phone out and answers] This is not a good time, okay?
