TDS: [Word to the wise, Carter. Yeah you. The lost one.]
Reva: (Reads text out loud) Oh we’ve got an interaction!
Betty: Umm TDS?
Rocket: Really?
Carter: (Laughs in disbelief)
Reva: TDS is with us!
Betty: Carter, are you ok?
Carter: (To TDS) Thanks for that (To Betty) Ch’yeah… no
TDS: [These people you run with? Worship talking earworms. Hazardous to your health.]
Reva: (Reads text out loud) Aw
Betty: Oh ok. Oooh, The Dead Skeptics.
Carter: I don’t know what that’s supposed to mean, is that a compliment?
Rocket: Well they don’t like the, you know, sacrificing to the voices. But I don’t see how we have much of an option.
Carter: Was that a compliment or a diss?
Betty: They’re dissing us at the moment.
Reva: I took care of all ten traps in the maze, can we get home now?
Betty: Reva you’re amazing!
Carter: I’m like so lost, man.
Reva: I’m trying but I am not going to out run the shape this time. I’m just letting you guys know that now.
TDS: [You could NOT give a brain sickness free run of your body at night. Just a thought.]
Rocket: Are we having a discussion with TDS?
Carter: (Reads text out loud)
Reva: Yeah, you guys, by all means keep having a conversation with TDS, I’ll keep doing what I try to do.
Betty: You know, I would love-
Reva: Nevermind (Reva was Shaped)
Carter: I have a question. Why is TDS texting us… (audio was unclear. There was a lot of cross talk)
Rocket: Let Betty talk. Everybody let Betty talk.
TDS: [Yes. Carter. We’re trying to save you.]
Rocket: Oh. Carter, talk to them. They’re trying to help you. Oh.
Carter: Save me how? I just want to get- Oh I found my way to the exit.
Rocket: Because we’ve been telling you to follow the voices and they’re trying to warn you not to.
Betty: And honestly that’s, not sacrificing to the voices, is valid. It’s all a personal choice. OK?
Carter: I was just going to wait until I was higher level… I’m only like what… twelve… thirteen?
Betty: But I will say, we are doing our best to free the town, but there’s only so much you can do.
Rocket: We’re facing gods.
TDS: [Every one of us. In our organization. Lost family to the “Voices”]
Carter: (Reads text out loud)
Betty: I’m very sorry to hear that.
Carter: Oh, I’m sorry you lost your family. That’s rough bud. That’s not right.
Rocket: They lost their family to SPEAK-AS-ONE.
Carter: Yeah, sounds like SPEAK-AS-ONE is the real problem here, man. You can’t blame all the voices.
Rocket: I wouldn’t say that name too much.
Betty: Yeah, you don’t want to name them.
Carter: Yeah, my bad. I’m new here.
Rocket: I wouldn’t mind having a conversation with it. We’ll beat it up.
Betty: That’s pretty brave. I don’t know if we’d beat it up.
Carter: See? Rocket’s all brave. I’m a wimp. I just kinda shoot first, ask questions later.
Rocket: We’ve faced them down before. We’ll do it again.
Betty: What I’m getting at is we...can’t do it alone.
Carter: By all means, if you want to help TDS, you’re welcome to join.
Betty: I do believe TDS provides aid in...Do you provide aid in the form of information? I genuinely forget. Where is Reva? Oh, you’re in the pits.
Carter: I think we kinda ticked him off (referring to the Shape).
Rocket: Well, yeah, the Shape’s kinda after me.
Reva: It took me a lot of time to get to the last trap.
Carter: No, I’m saying I think we might have ticked off TDS. Imagine that.
Rocket: Okay, maybe I’m not quite as hot stuff as I thought I was. Ooh, boy.
Carter: Well, I’ve got a Lucid kinda guarding the exit where I’m at. It’s really fun, nice.
Rocket: See? This is what you do!
Carter: I play flashbang?
Rocket: Oh you run! You run! Oh no. (gets Shaped)
Carter: He doesn’t know where I’m at. Are you kidding? Oh my gosh!
TDS: [One day, it’s your mother, Brother. The hot veterinarian. The next? Just a living advertisement for lifelong psychosis.]
Betty: Okay, I got Reva back.
Reva: Thank you.
Carter: TDS has seen some stuff!
Betty: Yeah, and apparently they have a crush on their veterinarian, which is fair. I mean, I’m sure there are very attractive people in that field. But my question is, what is TDS doing to help us?
Carter: Yeah! Or was he just trying to guide me to the exit?
Betty: Because I’m just a kid, and life is a nightmare! (singing)
Rocket: I think I hear you, Betty. (shaped) I’ll find you.
TDS: [Recruiting. We need eyes in Redacre. Your friends here. Already infected. Too late for them.]
Carter: How are they infected? I mean, I know Rocket’s been Shaped.
Betty: In general, we have already sacrificed and given ourselves over to the Voices.
TDS: [You? There’s still time. Don’t sacrifice. That lets them control your body at night.]
Betty: And hey, TDS? I’m gonna tell you straight up, that’s valid. You bring up a valid point.
Carter: But, but...if I sacrifice, I get stuff, right?
Rocket: They’ve got to be around here somewhere. (still Shaped)
Carter: Huh?
Betty: Rocket, stop looking for me.
Rocket: I can hear you, Betty.
TDS: [Is that what you want? Toys?]
Carter: Toys are pretty nice, but freedom is pretty cool too. (Betty revives Rocket) I don’t know, it all depends on what I get for sacrificing. I mean, I’m very situational in that regard. Why aren’t there any animals in Redacre? Yay, Rocket’s unShaped! Are y’all okay? Do you need assistance? I don’t have any...
Rocket: We’re doing great. Do you know why we’re doing great?
Reva: I was going to say, I’m on my way.
Carter: Why are we doing great?
Rocket: Because we can handle SPEAK-AS-ONE on our own.
Carter: Why would you say the name?
TDS: [Do not get into a car with someone who offers you a lollipop, kid.]
Carter: Well, that much I know, okay? I’m not going to hop into a person’s van, especially if it’s got tinted windows. Like, come on, man, I already know if they offer you candy or ice cream, they’re obviously a pedophile. Can I say pedophile? Is that allowed?
Betty: You can say pedophile, yes.
Carter: Okay. *laughs*
Rocket: Carter, are you texting with these TDS people?
Carter: Maaayyyybeeee….
Betty: They’re texting with all of us.
Carter: I made a new friend, okay?!
Reva: The only friend you need is Tooth-Mommy.
Betty: Hold on, hold on, don’t push Tooth-Mommy on Carter?
Carter: What has Tooth-Mommy done for me? Huh? Huh?!
Reva: Tooth-Mommy hasn’t done anything for me either.
Rocket: Hang on. If Carter’s got a line to TDS…
TDS: [It’s an analogy, kid. You say it’s all about “what you get out of it” ...what bribe is worth losing your mind?]
Rocket: ...ask him how we can help out Bells, because I don’t think we should be worrying about anything other than finding our friend.
Carter: That is a very good point, TDS. That is a very good point.
Rocket: Ask him how we get Bells out of Satcon. Ask him that.
Carter: How do we save Bells? How do we help Bells? How do we help Bells, TDS? Is there anything we can do?
Rocket: See that, Reva? That’s how someone that follows the person I follow can do that.
Carter: Yeah, what has Tooth-Mommy done for us?
TDS: [You want to know what we’ve got on Madi-Shaw. Send a light out to each of the earworms, saying, “I renounce you.” Then we’ll know you’re serious.]
Rocket: Wow, so they’re offering information.
Carter: I gotta write that down.
Betty: That is very interesting. Um, ask…
Carter: How do you send a light out to the earworms saying, “I renounce you?”
TDS: [Oh, we’re sure your pals here know how prayers work. We’re saying - use prayer to block their asses.]
Betty: Carter, ask how you can get lights without sacrificing first?
Carter: How do I get lights without sacrificing? Is there a way to get the lights?
TDS: [You’ll manage. It has to be done. Stay awake.]
Carter: Well, I mean, I drank a lot of coffee, so…
