| OOOOOOOHHHHHHH! |
(Immediately following Benson's story in "Beginson", Mordecai, Rigby, Pops, Skips, Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost are smiling, amazed by certain details)
Benson: So, I may not be in Hair to the Throne, but I guess you could say I found myself a new band.
Mordecai & Rigby: Whoa...
Mordecai: I had no idea...that Muscle Man had a scholarship for beach volleyball!
Rigby: Yeah! So cool!
Benson: That's your takeaway from my story?
Muscle Man: It all started the first time Starla broke up with me.
(Six years earlier, Muscle Man is hanging out at Two Peaks Mall)
Muscle Man (o/s): I thought I had it all, but the one thing I didn't have was purpose.
(In the mall, Muscle Man is playing arcade games while holding a large cup of soda)
Muscle Man (o/s): I spent all year skipping work and slacking off at the mall.
(Muscle Man is loading a pile of various junk foods (including pizza, hot dogs, tacos, fries, corn dogs, and more) with ranch dressing. He then walks through the mall holding the pile as soda spills from his cup)
Muscle Man (o/s): I had no idea it was all about to blow up in my face.
(Muscle Man laughs at a movie in the theater. Later, Muscle Man walks to Icy Hot Jewelry & Apparel)
Muscle Man: (laughs) Time to drop in on Starla at work, totally unannounced!
(Muscle Man enters the store and speaks to a cashier, who is filing her nails)
Muscle Man: Hey, where's Starla? She's my girlfriend.
Cashier: Um, was your girlfriend.
(The cashier points opposite the mall with her nail file)
Muscle Man: Huh?
(Muscle Man turns around)
Muscle Man: Huh?!
(Muscle Man squishes himself against the glass of the jewelry store)
Muscle Man: Huh?!
(Muscle Man looks to the parallel store in the mall: A tattoo parlor called Mall Tats. Inside, Starla is getting a tattoo of Muscle Man's struck through by her tattoo artist, Janine. Muscle Man runs out the store and yells)
Muscle Man: Starla! Babe, what are you doing?!
(Starla leaves Mall Tats and yells)
Starla: I have dreams and plans, Mitch! You're just skipping work and slacking off!
Muscle Man: Babe, I'm here to visit you, and...uh, play arcade games.
Starla: I need to be with someone whose life is going somewhere! We're through!
(Starla turns around to Janine)
Starla: Finish the strike-through, Janine!
(Janine rolls out the store on a rolling saddle stool and continues to tattoo the strike-through)
Muscle Man: Babe, please don't finish the strike-through!
(Janine finishes the strike-through)
Muscle Man: No!!
(Muscle Man cries loudly. Later at the Park, Muscle Man is picking up trash with Hi Five Ghost)
