Rick and Morty, Season 1

Rick and Morty (2013–present) is an American adult animated science-fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Adult Swim. The series follows the misadventures of the cynical mad scientist, Rick Sanchez, and his fretful and easily influenced grandson, Morty Smith, who split their time between domestic family life and interdimensional adventures.

Morty:
Holy cow, Rick! I didn't know hanging out with you was making me smarter!

Rick:
Full disclosure, Morty—it's not. Temporary superintelligence is just a side effect of the Megaseeds dissolving in your rectal cavity.

Morty:
Aw, man!

Rick:
Yeah. And once those seeds weahh-wear off, you're gonna lose most of your motor skills and... you're also gonna lose a significant amount of brain functionality for 72 hours, Morty. [checks arm watches] Starting ruh-ight about now.

Morty:
Ohh, man! Ohh, ohhh geez!! Ohh... [falls down]

Rick:
I'm sorry, Morty. It's a bummer. In reality, you're as dumb as they come. And I needed those seeds real bad and I have to give 'em up just to get your parents off my back! So now we're gonna have to go get more! And then we're gonna go on even more adventures after that, Morty! And you're gonna keep your mouth shut about it, Morty! Because the world is full of idiots that don't understand what's important, and they'll tear us apart, Morty! But if you stick with me, I'm gonna accomplish great things, Morty, and you're gonna be part of 'em! And together we're gonna run around, Morty, we're gonna- do all of kinds of wonderful things, Morty. Just you and me, Morty.

Morty:
[gurgling] No, no, no....

Rick:
The outside world is our enemy, Morty! We're the only fehh-friends we got, Morty! It's just Rick and Morty! Ruh-ick and Morty and their adventures, Morty! Rick and Morty forever and forever, 100 years, Rick and Morty's things! Me and Rick and Morty running around and... Rick and Morty time! All day long, forever... all- a hundred days! Rick and Morty forever a hundred times! Over and over, rickandmortyadventures.com. rickandmorty.com. rickandmortyadventures. All 100 years. Every minute, rickandmorty.com. [closing garage door inside] 100timesrickandmorty.com.

[Rick and Morty are running naked around town in an alien simulation chamber]

Morty:
Rick! [Rick pushes clothes in sewer]

Rick:
Uhp-uhp-uhp! Morty, keep your hands off your ding-dong! It's the only way we can speak freely. Look around you, Morty. Do you really think this wuh-world is real? You'd have to be an idiot not to notice all the sloppy details. Look, that guy's putting a bun between two hot dogs.

Morty:
I dunno, Rick, I mean, I've seen people do that before.

Rick:
Well, look at that old lady. She's-she's walking a cat on a leash.

Morty:
Uh, Mrs. Spencer does that all the time, Rick.

Rick:
Look, I-I-I don't want to hear about Mrs. Spencer, Morty! She's an idiot! All right, all right, there. Wh-what about that, Morty? [see an anthropomorphic Pop-Tart leaving his toaster home on his toaster car]

Morty:
Okay, okay, you got me on that one.

Rick:
Oh, really, Morty? Are you sure you haven't seen that somewhere in real life before?

Morty:
No, no, I haven't seen that. I mean, why would a Pop-Tart want to live inside a toaster, Rick? I mean, th-that would be like the scariest place for them to live. Y'know what I mean?

Rick:
You're missing the point, Morty. Why would he drive a smaller toaster with whsdkeels? I mean, does your car look like a smaller version of your house? No.

Morty:
So, why are they doing this? W-what do they want?

Rick:
Well, that would be obvious to you, Morty, if you'd been paying attention.

[an ambulance drives past Rick and Morty and stops; open back doors]

Paramedic:
We got the President of the United States in here! We need 10cc of concentrated dark matter, stat, or he'll die! [Rick shuts doors]

Morty:
Concentrated dark matter? They were asking about that in class.

Rick:
Yeah, it's a special fuel I invented to travel through space faster than anybody else. These Zigerions are always trying to scam me out of my secrets, but they made a big mistake this time, Morty. They dragged you into this. Now they're gonna pay!

Morty:
What do you— w-w-what are we gonna do?

Rick:
We're gonna scam the scammers, Morty. And we're gonna take 'em for everything they've got.

Rick:
[holding up the device and smiling] Y-You know, these demonic alien spirits are really valuable! [Morty vomits as Rick glances at him and puts the box away] You okay, Morty? Told you not to trust that tuna.

Morty:
I just killed my family! I don’t care what they were!

Rick:
I dunno, Morty. Some people would pay top dollar for that kinda breakthrough.

Morty:
Y'know what, Rick?! That's it! I'm done with these i-insane adventures! That was really traumatizing! I quit! I'm out!

Rick:
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Come on, Morty! Do-don't-don't be like that! The universe is a crazy, chaotic place!

Morty:
You're the one that's crazy and chaotic! Adventures are supposed to be simple and fun!

Rick:
Oh yeah, Morty, yeah, re— Yeah, th-that's real easy to say from the sidekick position, but-but, uhh... how about next time you be in charge, and then we'll... talk about how simple and fun it is?

Morty:
Seriously, Rick? Y-Y-You'll let me... call the shots?

Rick:
Okay, yeah, fine! But let's make it interesting, Morty. I-I-I-If your adventure sucks and we bail halfway through it, you lose the right to bitch about all future adventures. Plus, you have to do my laundry for a month.

Morty:
Okay. All right, tough guy. But if my adventure's good, I get to be in charge of every third adventure.

Rick:
Every tenth.

Morty:
Deal. All right, w-well, come on! Let's get going! [Beth comes in]

Beth:
Dad, the dishwasher's doing that thing again.

Rick:
Washing dishes?

Beth:
No! The opposite. Can you fix it? [Summer comes in]

Summer:
Grandpa Rick! Can you help me with my science homework?

Rick:
Yeah, d— Just don't do it.

Summer:
Grandpa! [Jerry comes in]

Jerry:
Hey, Rick, you got some kind of hand-shaped device that can open this mayonnaise jar?

Rick:
Wow, hat trick. All right, Morty, let's put a pin in this, I gotta help your pathetic family.

Morty:
Oh, that sounds like something a chicken would say! Bahhk-bahk-bahk-bahk!

Rick:
Oh, Morty, y-you done did it this time. It's on. I can't wait to watch your adventure lay a huge fart. As for you ding-dongs... [rummages box and holds a cube] this is a Meeseeks Box. Let me show you how it works. You press this— [a blue man poofs out of nowhere]

Mr. Meeseeks:
I'm Mr. Meeseeks! Look at me!

Rick:
You make a request— Mr. Meeseeks, open Jerry's stupid mayonnaise jar.

Mr. Meeseeks:
Yessiree!

Rick:
—the Meeseeks fulfils the request... [Meeseeks opens jar]

Mr. Meeseeks:
All done!

Jerry:
Wow!

Rick:
—and then it stops existing. [Meeseeks poofs away]

Summer:
Oh, my God! He exploded!

Rick:
Trust me, they're fine with it. Knock yourselves out. Just... eh-keep your requests simple. They're not gahh-ods.

Morty:
All right, g-get outta here now! Everybody outta here! I got a bet to win!

[after Summer, Beth, and Jerry leave, Morty closes the door]

[In an alternate reality, Rick blows himself and Morty up after Morty hands him a screwdriver. The "main" Rick and Morty then portal in to find their corpses and innards all over the garage]

Rick:
All right, Morty, here we are.

Morty:
[horrified] OH MY GOD, RICK! IS THAT US?! W-W-W-WE'RE DEAD! WHAT IS GOING ON, RICK?! I'M FREAKING OUT...!

Rick:
[grabbing and shaking him] Calm down, Morty! Look at me! Calm down, Morty!

Morty:
I CAN'T TAKE IT! NO...!

Rick:
You gotta calm-- Calm yourself, Morty...!

Morty:
I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS...!

Rick:
Morty! Calm down, Morty...!

Morty:
THIS CAN'T BE REAL..!

Rick:
Morty! You gotta calm down, Morty!

Morty:
WE'RE RIPPED APART...!

Rick:
Will you listen to me, Morty...?!

Morty:
W-W-W-W--!

Rick:
[smacks him] SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO ME! It's fine! Everything is fine! There's an infinite number of realities, Morty, and in a few dozen of those, I got lucky and turned everything back to normal. I just had to find one of those realities in which we also happen to both die around this time. Now we can just slip into the place of our dead selves in this reality, and everything will be fine. We're not skipping a beat, Morty. Now help me with these bodies.

Morty:
This is insane!

Rick:
[lifting his alternate self's body] Look, Morty, I'll grab myself, you grab yourself, okay? I mean, tha-th-th-that seems fair to me I mean, that seems like a fair way to divvy it up.

Morty:
Rick! What about the reality we left behind?!

Rick:
What about the reality where Hitler cured cancer, Morty? The answer is, don't think about it. It's not like we can do this every week, anyways. We get three or four more of these, tops. Now pick up your dead self and come on. Haste makes waste. [drags his body away, then comes back] I-I-I don't suppose you've considered this detail, but obviously, if I hadn't screwed up as much as I did, we'd be these guys right now, so... again, you're welcome.

Morty:
Geez, Rick, wh-what is this place?

Rick:
The Citadel of Ricks. It's the secret headquarters for the Council of Ricks.

Morty:
Council of Ricks?

Rick:
As you know, Morty, I've got a lot of enemies in the universe that consider my genius a threat. Galactic terrorists, a few sub-galactic dictators, most of the entire intergalactic government. Wh-wherever you find people with heads up their asses, someone wants a piece of your grandpa. And a lot of versions of me on different timelines had the same problem. So a few thousand versions of me had the [yells] INGENIOUS IDEA OF BANDING TOGETHER like a herd of cattle or a school of fish, or... those people who answer questions on Yahoo! Answers.

Morty:
Hey! What do you know? It's a cowboy version of me!

Rick:
Geez, you're easy to impress. Yeah, most timelines have a Rick, and most Ricks have a Morty. This place is a real who's who of who's you and me.

Rick Seller 1:
Turn your boring, old Morty into a... hot fashion statement... with some Morty dazzlers!

Rick Seller 2:
Hey, check this out! [presses Morty doll]

Morty Doll:
Show me the Morty!

Rick:
Dumb.

Rick Insurer:
Excuse me, sir, is your Morty insured? You know, every year, hundreds of Mortys are injured—

Rick:
Back off! Not my cup of tea, this place. I say the point of being a Rick is being a Rick.

Rick Officer:
Save your anti-Rick speech for the Council of Ricks, terror-Rick.

Rick:
Hey, save your Rick rules for the uuueh sheep-Ricks, Rick-pig.

Rick Officer:
(Bleep) me, pal.

Rick:
"(Bleep) you"? No, no, no, no, no, (Bleep) ME!
