Sir, your noodles are here.
Finally.
Any word on locating Pops?
We're still scouring the Bleisdorf Quadrant, sir.
Any word on locating the special sauce?
Scouring the bag, sir.
Uh, there doesn't seem to be any, sir.
What?
Noodle-Verse is the worst!
There were no packets of special sauce in my bag.
Never ordering from you again!
Huh? Where are the negative stars?
Noodle-Verse deserves negative stars!
Rrr.
Yes, Yello Customer Service?
I'm trying to leave a negative-star review and...
What do you mean the lowest review is zero stars?
They deserve negative five stars!
Your archaic rating system does not reflect my level of hate!
Oh dear!
He has grown more powerful
than a five-star rating system can contain.
All right, Pops, go!
Hyah!
Yah. Yah.
Yah.
Wait, did you even hit it?
I don't want to break it.
This board could one day grow up
to be a beautiful dinette centerpiece.
Pops, we're supposed to be training you.
C'mon, Pops!
Fly like a butterfly, sting like a...
Hey, wait, Pops.
Sting like a bee, Pops! A bee!
This isn't working.
I'm hungry.
Our B's are about to be stung.
And by that, I mean our butts. Why?
Anti-Pops forever grows in power.
We must hasten our training.
How are we gonna do that?
Even with everyone helping, it's still going slow.
Have you heard of the ancient technique
of training montage?
Montage?
No. What is it?
Masters of it could condense time and space
to train faster.
They could skip right over the parts
where they took a break to pee or fart.
- Wait, that sounds familiar. - Oh yeah.
It's a film technique in which a collection of shots,
cut with wipes and dissolves in quick succession,
is used to condense space and time.
I went to art school.
Yes, exactly.
By doing this, they were able to do weeks of training
in mere days to reach the next level.
Is Pops going to level up like in a video game?
Something like that.
- Coooool! - Coooool!
Aaah, music.
With the right track, these lessons will fly by.
This is my favorite song.
Yah!
Yah-huh.
Level up!
- Whoa! - Whoa!
- He leveled up! - He leveled up!
Again!
This montage technique is nuts, dude.
Yeah, man, it's crazy!
First they're like, over here,
and then they're all, wipe!
Boom! Hey, we're over here.
Yeah, I bet Pops will be ready in no time.
I even like the song. It's catchy.
Hwah! Yeah!
Hwah.
Ugh. It's so early.
- Ahh! - Ahh!
- No! - Wait! Stop!
Wait! No! No!
Hey! You lose!
Aw, man!
How long is this going to take?
Level up!
Dude, I can't handle that song anymore.
He played it like 120 times.
What are we gonna do?
I have an idea.
Let's change the tunage.
I'm ready for today's training montage, Earl!
Ah, you've caught the montage bug.
If we keep this steady pace, we should be ready in two weeks.
What?
It's so strong.
- Where is my music? - I dunno.
Get something a little different, I guess.
Don't you know what you've done?
Huh?
It just looks like he's training faster.
Don't you see?
Montages are more powerful
the faster the song is!
Level up!
Ah! Huh? Ah! Huh? Ah! Huh?
All right, Pops, you chopped the board.
That's enough montage for now.
No! Don't get near him!
Huh? Huh?
Ugh. Ugh.
Huh? Pops, you gotta stop!
- Huh? - Ugh!
Pops!
How long is this song?
It's 51/2 minutes!
You have to turn off the boom box from within the montage!
We can't do it or we'll get sucked in, too!
Level up!
Ha!
Ahh! Ahh!
After him!
- Huh? - Huh?
How'd I get this fishing pole?
Montage logic! Just use it!
Hwuh!
Whuuuh! Ugh!
Dang it. The wipe cut my line!
Pops, the bed is made. You can stop!
All right, our next step is...
What? No!
Oh great, now we're stuck in the montage, too!
Way to mess everything up with your young, hip, fast music.
This is dangerous!
You can't just throw fast music around!
Whoa, it didn't explode.
Uhh. Uhh. Uhh.
Go get the boom box!
Level up!
Hwuh! Augh!
Augh!
Eh?
Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?
He's montaging out of control.
If we don't stop him, he'll destroy everything!
What's that sound?
It's a thematically appropriate transition!
That coin was huge!
Are we breathing in space?
This isn't space... It is the void!
This is where you end up when you reach peak montage!
Color cards, morphing, split screens...
Anything can happen here!
Where's Pops?
He's perfecting every exercise!
Pops, slow down!
Pops, just...
What are we supposed to do?
Every training montage has a place
that appears repeatedly to show someone's progress.
If we find the nexus point, we can turn off that boom box!
Huh? Ahh!
I'm a ghost!
Ah! Ahh!
Bro, is this what it's like for you all the time?
Pretty much.
I'm, uh... I'm getting a little sick here.
You are not ghosts! You are overlays!
Now figure out Pops' nexus point!
The wood chopping!
He always levels up when he chops wood!
Rigby, get to where the boom box will be
when we come out of the void!
Throw me, Skips!
Eaugh!
Uhh, a little faster, Rigby!
Oh, no, all he has left to do is write the perfect signature!
Is the boom box about here?
- Dude, it's to the left. - To the left.
Here?
- That's it! - Stay there.
The perfect signature!
Ahhh!
Rigby! The boombox!
Hwuh!
Level up!
- Huh? - Huh?
Ugh.
Pops?
Rain.
He is ready.
Hahaha.
Good show.
