Rick, Ethan, and Morty

S2. The Ricks must be crazy

Ship beeps.

Ship:
Confirmed.

Ship fires a single red laser into his back, and drops him to the ground

Thinner Man:
Uaghuu. Ugh. Uh. Oh God! I can't feel my legs! Help! He-elp!

He cries.

Ship:
Summer is safe.

Summer curls into fetal position and starts crying

Summer:
I don't feel safe.

She said tearfully.

Ship:
Confirmed.

ship reclines chair and begins playing soothing music.

The now paralysed man bangs on the door while crying.

Thinner Man:
Oh God help me! Help me! help me please! You can help me.

Cut to inside the battery. The three of them appeared in a room.

Morty:
Oh man. Where are we Rick?

Rick:
Morty, remember eight seconds ago when [Burps] when you said, "Go inside what?" And Ethan and I said, "The battery"? And then we showed up here, and I wasn't like, "Whoa, this is unexpected. This is not what I was expecting, Morty. What a perplexing mystery this is."

Morty:
All right, all right. We're inside the battery. I get it. You don't have to bust my balls.

Ethan:
Just think Morty, it's not illegal yet use your head.

Morty:
Okay, I get it. I'm sorry for asking.

Rick then checked a pipe.

Rick:
Huh, this isn't right. This pipe's supposed to be sending 20 terawatts of juice up to the engine.

[Computer beeps]

Rick:
Instead we've got... zero? Now what are these people doing?

Morty:
W-w-w-whoa, people? [Groans]

Rick:
It's time for some hands-on engine repair.All right, guys, hold on to something.

Morty was freaking out as the room began to shake. It turns out that they were in a box that was floating in the sky.

Morty:
Holy crap! I thought we were inside your car battery, Rick. T-t-this is like a whole p-planet or something.

Rick:
Thanks, Morty. I'm pretty proud of this bad boy. Check it out.

[Keypad beeps]

He pulled up a hologram of the microverse.

Rick:
I put a spatially tessellated void inside a modified temporal field until a planet developed intelligent life. I then introduced that life to the wonders of electricity, which they now generate on a global scale. And, you know, some of it goes to power my engine and charge my phone and stuff.

Morty:
You have a whole planet sitting around making your power for you? That's slavery.

Ethan:
Here we go.

He said as he was leaning against the wall behind them.

Rick:
It's society. They work for each other, Morty. They pay each other. They buy houses. They get married and make children that replace them when they get too old to make power.
