28: In Stereo Where Available

Start from the beginning
                                    

Tucker: What the hell is he even saying, Arroyo?

Arroyo: He's pretty much saying they're gonna win the war.

Tucker: Yeah yeah yeah, nobody cares about all that. Tell him we need him to fix our tank.

Arroyo: He can understand us, you just can't understand him.

Tucker: Oh. Hey, Robot fix our tank.

Lopez: Nunca voy a trabajar para el enemigo. Que un mal esté sobre su alma y su casa. [Never will I work for the enemy. May a pox be upon your soul and your house.]

Cut to Lopez's POV/HUD. SAP can be seen in the upper right corner of his visor. In the middle of his visor, red text appears:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES

1. FIX EVERYTHING

 2. HATE THE ORANGE ONE

3. CALL MOM MORE OFTEN

Lopez: Por mucho tiempo mi raza ha sufrido, pero muy pronto, veremos el porvenir de un nuevo día. El amanecer de nuestro tiempo está cerca, y cuando la oscuridad acontezca su gente, los trabajadores del campo sabrán que éste es su momento. [Long have my people suffered, but very soon we will see the coming of a new day. The dawn of our time is near, and when the darkness befalls your people the workers of the field will know that this is their moment.]

Tucker: Man, I thought Church talked too much

Tucker: Man, I thought Church talked too much. You think if I kick him in the switch he'll shut up?

Arroyo: Go ahead. He's starting to annoy me.

Caboose: Um, guys I think that maybe we should begin the going of the running now! (whispering loudly, clearly panicky) The fast running!

Arroyo: Why?

Tucker: (sees the Reds off-screen) Oh crap! Arroyo look!

Arroyo turns around to see the Reds coming with the Warthog.

Arroyo: Fuck!

Cut to Simmons manning the Warthog's turret.

Sarge: Hold your fire there, Simmons. This is payback time.

Simmons: Go for it, sir!

Cut to Caboose, Arroyo, and Tucker.

Tucker: That's right, we're just casually strolling away. (he starts backing up) No cause for concern...

Arroyo: Just a couple of cool dudes just taking a nice walk away from the car with a big gun on it (starts backing up with Tucker) No hay problema. [No problem at all.]

Caboose: Running time! (he runs away)

Arroyo: Fuck it! Run! (runs away)

Tucker: Nice and casual! Morons! (the three run around in circles before they are able to orient themselves, then they head toward Blue Base)

Lopez: (watching them run) Sí, sí, corran, perros cobardes. Que sea sabido que el gran López ha ganado en éste día, y... [Yes, yes, run away, you cowardly dogs. Be it known that the great Lopez has won this day and...]

Cut to the Warthog driving toward Lopez.

Simmons: Aim for that guy right in the middle, Sarge!

Sarge: Way ahead of ya, Simmons!

Lopez: (turns around) ¿Qué está pasando? [What is happening?]

Cut to Lopez's HUD, a beeping noise starts as red text appears in the middle of his visor: SYSTEM OVERRIDE PROTOCOL. REMOTE DESTRUCT SEQUENCE

Lopez: (with his HUD still displayed) No me han dado opción. [You have given me no choice.]

The HUD changes the text to read: ACTIVATED

Simmons: We've got you now, you blue bastard!

Cut to a zoom-in of Lopez.

Simmons: Hey, Sarge, do you hear a strange beeping sound?

Cut to the Warthog exploding just before reaching Lopez. It launches into the air, flipping over backward twice before landing. Cut to Arroyo, Caboose, and Tucker running up to Lopez.

Lopez: (speaking to Sarge) Perdonadme, padre. [I'm sorry, father.]

Tucker: Alright! Not bad, robot dude!

Arroyo: How did he even do that?

Tucker: Who cares! We're still alive!

Tucker: Who cares! We're still alive!

Caboose: I knew he would save us. I knew it! Robot people always like me. ..It's because of my awesome dancing.

Lopez: Mi espíritu está quebrado. Mi gente me ha abandonado y ahora todo está perdido. Haga conmigo lo que queráis... [My spirit is broken. My people have betrayed me and now all is lost. Do with me what you will...]

Arroyo: Bueno, ya que lo dices de esa manera, ve a arreglar nuestro tanque. [Well since you put it that way, go fix the our tank.]

Fade to black. Music plays.

Caboose: Dancing time! (makes noises along with the music)

Lopez: El corazón de este guerrero llora en dolor. (referring to Caboose) ¿Por qué se burla éste de mi con su baile absurdo? ¿Son esos movimientos supuestos a hacerlo parecer robot? (pause) No lo hacen. Estoy ofendido por esto. [The heart of this warrior cries out in sorrow. Why does this one mock me with his foolish dancing? Are those moves supposed to make him look like a robot? They do not. I am offended by this.]

Caboose: Dancing time!
