Gravity Falls, Season 2

Stan:
Ohh, I can't believe this! The kids are gonna die and it's all my fault! [sadly drops down due to remorse about the current situation] Because I couldn't shake your stupid hand! Ugh, Dad was right about me. I am a screwup.

Ford:
[sighs sadly] Don't blame yourself. I'm the one who made a deal with Bill in the first place. I fell for all his easy flattery. You would've seen him for the scam artist he is. [drinks from "water" flask and shares it with Stan]

Stan:
How did things get so messed up between us?

Ford:
We used to be like Dipper and Mabel. The world's about to end and they still work together. How do they do it?

Stan:
Easy. They're kids. They don't know any better. [Ford stands up] Whoa, where are you going?

Ford:
[sadly and reluctantly]I'm gonna play the only card we have left: let Bill into my mind. He'll be able to take over the galaxy and maybe even worse! But at least he might let the kids free.

Stan:
[horrified] What?! Are you kidding me?! Are you honestly telling me there's nothing else we can do?!

Ford:
Bill's only weak in the mindspace. If I didn't have this darn plate in my head, we could just erase him with the memory gun when he steps inside my mind.

Stan:
[beat] What if he goes in my mind? My brain isn't good for anything.

Ford:
[chuckles] There's nothing in your mind he wants. It has to be me. We need to take his deal. It's the only way he'll agree to save you and the kids.

Stan:
Do you really think he's gonna make good on that deal?

Ford:
What other choice do we have?
