Rick and Morty: The Anime (2024) s01e05 Episode Script

1
-It should be easy for you,
right, Rick?
Just turn my dad
into a superhero.
Like from a comic book.
-Jerry? A superhero. Sure.
He's going to need
some training.
-Hmm?
-Training?
-Oh, I'd love that.
-Just the thought of it
makes me laugh.
-Tell you what,
I'll consider doing it
when the world is in danger
and there's literally
no one else around to save it.
-Listen, I would
totally become a superhero
to keep our family safe.
-Yeah, Dad,
that would be cool.
But I don't know
if you'll ever get the chance.
-Jerry, if you really want
to keep the family safe,
then you should find a job.
-Hmm.
-Come out, Rick Sanchez!
Rick Sanchez!
-Rise and shine.
-Who are you?
-Another version of you.
I think it was this sword
that summoned me here.
-Hello! Anybody home?
Rick --
-Hm.
Looks like Rick isn't
home right now.
-This is Jerry's
space berry cake,
my very own creation.
Bon appétit.
-Thank you. Looks yummy.
-I'm Jerry Smith, and
I am Rick Sanchez's son-in-law.
-I am also Jerry.
This man is me, and I am him.
-Mm-hmm.
-Well,
what are you waiting for?
It's not Rick you're after,
but this sword,
isn't that right?
-Ah!
-What kind of
secrets does it hold?
You're not the first one
to come after it today.
-Huh?
-It happened
while you were napping.
-None of them
would answer my questions,
so I just tested the sword
out on your friends instead.
Guess what. You're gonna be
my next test subject.
-I am Mr. Nimbus,
King of the Ocean.
-Hey, Mr. Nimbus.
-What business
do you have here, Jerry Smith?
-Your lackey spilled the beans
after we threatened him.
-This dude is nuts.
-Who is this beast?
-I am also known
as Jerry Smith.
-Hmm.
Making everything
needlessly complicated
is one of Richard's specialties.
-Rick isn't here, and starting
today, I'm the king of the land.
-So a moron like you
wants to forge a treaty with me?
-How would you like
a taste of this instead?
-I'll admit, that thing seems
like a real nuisance.
But Richard is the only one
who can make treaties with me.
I have literally no interest
in that ridiculous sword.
-Then why sacrifice so many of
your minions trying to get it?
-Eh! I have no desire to be
caught in someone else's war.
I was trying to eliminate
a source of trouble.
-What trouble?
-That sword was stolen,
and now its owners are coming
for it.
Do me a favor.
Keep the fighting on land.
-Exactly what kind of power
does this sword have?
-Unbelievable!
You stole that thing
without knowing what it does,
Jerry Smith.
-If it isn't Jerry Smith.
Who the hell are you?
-People who know
call me Jerry Smith.
You had best remember that.
I've come to claim the sword
of Mikado no Mikoto.
-So the gang fell apart
and split into two factions
as soon as I got put
into the slammer.
-My apologies, sir.
The Roughnecks got
their hands on the sword.
-You needn't worry about that.
I reached out to a man
who'll get it back.
-All by yourself? Really?
-Rest assured,
I'll get the job done.
Sorry.
You would just get in the way.
Mm?
-You truly are a man of legend,
Jerry Smith.
Hmm.
-Hmph.
-The Roughnecks have
just departed for America.
-Hmm.
-My goodness.
Sire!
-Huh?
-Behold!
-The gods were gracious enough
to lend us their power
after all.
We were right to have faith.
We are truly blessed.
-Weak-minded buffoons.
They locked their
fighting spirit away.
Breaking the seal
on that stupid sword
will unleash a swirling mass
of dark energy.
So hurry and get the hell
out of my territory!
Hark, Jerrys!
I control the police and can
sink everything into the ocean.
-Pardon, sire,
but may I ask where
the Sword of Sealing is now?
-Who knows?
It's with Rick Sanchez, who will
surely take care of it for us.
-Space Mom really saved
our butts.
Thanks, Space Mom.
-Absolutely.
-God, I wish we had
two versions of dad around.
-Wait a minute.
Where's dad?
-Oh, crap.
Maybe he's in the garage.
He probably doesn't realize
Rick is back home.
-What the hell?
He better not be
going through my stuff!
Son of a bitch!
Aw, crap.
I totally forgot about stashing
that sword in here.
-W-W-What's the matter, Rick?
Where's Dad?
-Great. There couldn't be
a worse time to get a call
from this prick.
-Richard.
-Yeah, yeah,
I know what
you're calling to bitch about.
Listen, I'll make sure it won't
cause any problems for you.
-Hmm. Looks good on you.
And I'm not just being nice.
-Gee, I think you have
the better body for this suit.
-Don't forget,
I am you, Jerry Smith.
I don't, but you have a family
to care for.
Only you have what it takes to
unleash the power of this sword.
So you should wield it.
We are stronger than you think.
-Ugh.
Come on, come on, come on.
That figures.
I really screwed the pooch
by not seeing this coming.
-Where's Dad?
What's going on?
-Just relax. We're gonna go get
him right now.
-In another dimension?
-No, Morty,
he's in this dimension.
In our universe.
Well, the antiverse,
to be specific.
-Wow. The antiverse.
-Just don't expect
the animation
to get mirrored or something.
That's too much of a pain
in the ass.
-Our universe and the antiverse
exists in the same space,
two wavelengths
that are opposite of each other.
We can travel between the two,
we just need to nail
down the exact point
where they intersect.
But time flows backwards
over there,
so we have to time
this perfectly.
This shit's serious.
-We totally got this, Grandpa.
-Okay, everybody.
Match the timing exactly.
So you finally getting tired of
being a pathetic sack of crap?
You know,
you're absolutely right, Rick.
I just keep avoiding the truth
of who I really am.
No matter what,
I'm a loser.
-Simply acknowledging
that is a huge step forward.
- I just
- Want to change yourself?
You should never settle
with a version of yourself
that you hate.
If you let me,
I can help you, Jerry.
I won't force you.
You can quit anytime you want.
-Save me!
-Are you positive that's
what you really want?
Jerry, I'll save you.
But it means admitting
that you've reached your limit.
Ow! No more.
No more!
-Aren't you glad to
see me?
I'm a certified expert
on fashion.
I know it's cheesy,
but I feel great.
Have a terrific day.
-Gotta admit,
I'm surprised.
-Huh?
-Your final test will be
a real battle.
-Huh?
-I'm getting bored
with training.
-A real battle?
What am I supposed to do?
-Jesus Christ, Jerry,
just be a superhero in spandex
who fights villains and shit.
I mean, come on,
isn't this what you wanted?
-Me, a superhero?
I'm gonna be a hero.
-Alright.
New and improved Jerry!
-Whoa! What's all this?
-Whoa, hold up.
It's just me.
Don't shoot.
-What do you think
you're doing here?
-I could ask you the same thing.
What the hell are you wearing?
-Hmm.
-Seriously? You believed
all that made up B.S.?
-What did you do to Dad?
-It's okay, Morty.
-Huh?
-I'm grateful to Rick
for what he did for me.
-Just so we're clear,
you're the one who came to me
wanting a memory wipe.
-Yeah, I remember.
-Are you leaving?
-I have my own path to follow,
but fear not.
You'll be able to hold your own
in battle with that sword.
Believe in ourselves.
-Ahh! Ahh!
I am going to protect
this sword.
That is my heroic calling.
-Damn. Jerry is looking way
better in the suit.
-This base kicks ass.
-Hey, Summer,
does Dad kind of look familiar?
-Yeah, I get the feeling
we've seen a similar one before.
One that eats
like a dirty caveman.
-Impressive stuff,
Superhero Jerry.
Looks like you absorbed all
of the energy from that sword.
-Stay sharp, boys.
This guy's a freak of nature.
-Wow, Dad's a badass!
-Summer, go grab
some weapons
from the basement.
-I'll come with you.
-You're going down, sucker.
I came fully prepared this time.
-Hmm?
Look out!
Morty!
-We meet again,
little boy.
-Keep laying heat on him.
Hello, Jerry Smith.
I'm never going to forget
your frigging name.
I'm here to take back my sword.
I've still got plenty
of soldiers.
All we have to do is steal the
sword back and you're screwed.
-Take my advice
and call it quits.
My old friend.
-Boss, is that you?
-This is not a fight
that you will win.
Surely you can see that.
-But this asshole made
a total laughingstock out of me
by destroying my reputation.
-Dying for your reputation
is the Yakuza way,
but not if it brings
down the whole gang.
-Hey, boss man.
-Your orders, sir?
-Your men listen to you
and will stop fighting
at your command.
-Huh?
-Now, let's merge our factions
into a single group again.
-Well -- Mm?
-Who are you two,
and how do you know Jerry?
-Listen, lady, I'm his wife.
-And so am I.
-Hm.
So you were married, huh?
And two wives.
-You must be the son
of Jerry Smith
and the grandson
of Rick Sanchez.
That explains
why I like the look in your eye.
Hey, how would you like
to be my successor, kid?
-Uh!
-Excuse me.
- Huh?
- But Morty is my son.
Thank you.
-Oh!
-That's my dad.
-I see.
That's a nice family you've got.
-Alright, everybody,
get over here and line up.
Now we've got everybody
in one place.
Time for another family pic.
Okay, science!
Awesome job, Jerry.
You're well on your way
to being a real superhero.
-It was fun, Rick.
I've come to realize
that I was actually happier
just spending time
with my family like before,
even if I was a sack of crap.
-Are you serious, Jerry?
-You betcha, Rick.
-Okay, let's do it
before you change your mind.
