S01E01 The More Things Change: 2:59—6:30

Summary: Ben, Gwen & Kevin go on what will be their last regular criminal hunt. After capturing Zombozo, Ben tries to convince Gwen and Kevin to stay.

BEN: Yeah, you better run!

KEVIN: I got it!
GWEN: Really, Zombozo? What kind of sicko steals from a brain bank?
KEVIN: Why does Bellwood even have a brain bank?

ZOMBOZO: Thank you, my boy. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

BEN: Come on, give me something good.
[ Ben turns into Lodestar ]
BEN: Not what I was going for, but I can work with this. Kevin!
KEVIN: On it!

ZOMBOZO: My brain! I'm losing my mind!


BEN: Come on. You HAVE to admit you love this as much as I do. I can't believe you're really going to leave!
KEVIN: Yeah? Wouldn't you skip a few grades of high school if you had some brains?
BEN: There are plenty of colleges right here near Bellwood you could go to.
GWEN: Not quite the same as the Ivy League.

GWEN: I told you. We've spent years saving the world. I just want to see some of what I've been saving.
BEN: I know, I get it. Well, hurry back, Kevin. The troublesome two-o is more than enough to take on whatever the universe dishes out.
KEVIN: Uh... I'm not coming back, Ben. I found a place near campus.
BEN: ...So—this is goodbye?
GWEN: Of course not! There are holidays, and semester breaks... and besides, we're cousins. It's... not like we're never going to see each other again. ...right?
BEN: ... Right!

KEVIN: Later, man. Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
BEN: Count on it.
KEVIN: Come to think of it, don't do anything you'd usually do either.

GWEN: Take care of yourself, doofus.
BEN: ... You too, dweeb.

ZOMBOZO: Oh, what a touching moment. Too bad you would have never caught me all by your lonesome.
BEN: Watch it, Zombozo. I don't need a team to get the job done. I'm a superhero! I can do this alone, no problem.

BEN: ... why am I telling this to a crazy monster clown? Time to put my money where my mouth is! ....but first, time to put food where my mouth is.

→ Learned Kevin & Gwen have powers (Kevin can absorb material and turn into that material; Gwen has magic energy stuff? not very specific)
→ Learned Lodestar

S03E01 Showdown Pt1: 16:38—20:50

Summary: Ben reminisces: after getting into an argument with his family, Ben tries to fight Malware, and loses Feedback.

Ben: We need to find Malware.
Azmuth: Slow down, Ben. You don't want a repeat of what happened to Feedback.
Rook: And what exactly happened to Feedback?
Azmuth: You never told your partner?
Ben: . . . Feedback was my go-to alien. I don't know why I liked being him so much. He just . . . felt different. Better. Like he was part of me.

Ben: Man.

Ben: Azmuth. What are you doing here?
Max: We need to talk to you about Feedback. It's not healthy to grow too dependent on any one alien form.
Azmuth: If you keep overusing the Conductoid DNA, it will have a detrimental effect on your ability to control other forms.
Ben: What, so don't use Feedback anymore? Forget that!

Gwen: Ben, wait!
Ben: You made them say that, didn't you, Gwen? 'cuz you're so jealous you can't turn into aliens, like me!
Gwen: You honestly believe Azmuth would listen to me or anyone else? You did this to yourself, Ben!
Ben: I'm the one wearing the Omnitrix! I can turn into whichever alien I want! And no one can stop me!
Malware: I beg to differ.

Malware: I am here for Azmuth.
Ben: You picked the wrong hero to mess with again.
Gwen: So you pick the right hero, Ben! Remember the only time you ever beat him was as Diamondhead!

Gwen: This is no time to try to make a point!
Ben: Relax, Gwen. See? What goes around, comes around.
Malware: Excellent suggestion.
Gwen: Come on, Ben! Turn into Diamondhead, quick! Before Malware—
Malware: Destroys the Omnitrix?

Malware: My, my. Isn't this a surprising turn of events? If I am not mistaken, this seems to be your favorite alien, Ben Tennyson. Correct? Not anymore.
Ben: Nooooo!
Malware: Though I am here for Azmuth, I wish to destroy him with his most precious creation. The Omnitrix. Now.
Ben: You want it so bad? Here!
Malware: Yes! Yes! The power of the Omnitrix flows through me! It is me! No—it's overloading me! Stop!
Max: Ben, don't!

Azmuth: Though we thought Malware was destroyed, as a fail-safe, the Omnitrix would never accept DNA from the Conductoid species again.
Ben: That's what happened to Feedback. And it was all my fault. Happy now?
Rook: . . . I am sorry, Ben. I did not realize.
Ben: Just forget it, alright? I wish I could.

Appearances: Ben Tennyson, Max Tennyson, Gwen Tennyson, Azmuth, Malware, Feedback
