Adventure Time

Jake: Man, birthday-holiday overlap. That's some tough luck.

Everyone's all jollied-out when it's your turn for jollies.

Well...

You know, it's not actually the holidays.

Plus, BMO wasn't actually even really born.

Well, I suppose.

But you don't got to be so technical about it.

Listen, all I'm saying is we...

Hello?

Hey, it's me.

Is there a big rainbow over your house right now,

spelling out "Happy birthday, BMO"?

No. Actually, it's snowing like crazy.

Okay, that's what I was afraid of.

Peppermint Butler spilled grape juice

on my experimental weather machine,

and now it's going kablooey.

I got to stay here and fix this thing.

Tell BMO I'm sorry I missed the party.

That's okay. BMO doesn't care any...

BMO only cares about one special guest.

Moe!

Hooray! Moe is coming!

And he brought me a special surprise for my birthday!

Moe is the smartest man in the world.

He's way smarter than you and you

and you, too, Jake... and you're the smartest guy I know.

Hey, thanks.

And he knows everything about robots.

He built me, and he built himself, and all the other MOs.

He's so smart!

I bet he could even fix NEPTR.

What? What's wrong with me?

Oh, boy, oh, boy. He's here!

Hooray!

Hooray!

Oh.

You are not Moe.

Why, of course I am, BMO.

Oh, okay.

Hey, Moe! New haircut?

Whoa, Moe!

What happened to your body?

Oh, oh!

Oh, that old thing?

She conked out on me months ago.

I guess I don't make 'em like I used to.

Not like little BMO here.

You got all my love and affection.

Thanks!

Well, we made a cake.

We weren't sure if you eat, but BMO insisted.

Eating helps me grow!

Oh!

Well, er, uh... When in Rome.

So, BMO, are you ready for your birthday surprise?

Boy, howdy!

For your birthday, I got you...

A special mission!

A mission?

A special mission, like a vacation.

For all of us?

No, no, no.

A special solo mission.

For NEPTR?

No.

It's a special rite of passage

I designed just for you, BMO.

A simple jaunt to the MO factory and back... that's all...

And then you'll be a grown-up.

Wow.

Finn: Hmm, I don't know.

Sounds kind of dangerous.

Yeah, BMO's like a baby almost.

Oh, don't be silly.

Every other MO has done it since forever.

But won't I miss Finn and Jake?

Oh, sure.

But don't worry. They'll be here when you get back.

But... Won't Finn and Jake miss me?

No, that's the beauty of it.

I'll be BMO while you're gone.

Hooray!

Hooray!

- Hooray? - Hooray!

Air?

Are you there, air?

It's me... BMO.

I know it's been a long time since we talked.

Sorry about that.

But, well, maybe if you don't want to talk,

you could just listen.

Moe told me if I do this thing, I'll be a grown-up,

and that sounds cool, I guess.

Like, if I was grown,

then I could drive to the playground all by myself.

And I could buy my own pacifiers at the store, if I was grown.

But then, if I change, will Finn and Jake still love me?

Will I still love them?

Moe changed to a new body...

And he's still the same, I guess, sort of.

But does growing up just change your body, or also your soul?

Maybe I could just stay the same forever.

So...

So!

Um...

Yeah, it's nice to see you, Moe.

Yeah, you too.

Uh...

So, Moe, do you want to...

Uh...

Jake?

Oh, hey, I'm on my way. One sec.

Um, hold on, Moe.

Jake, what are you doing?

Finn, all this is heck of awkward without BMO...

Way more awkward than I thought it'd be.

I think maybe I don't like old people.

They make me feel like I'm gonna get old one day, too.

I'm just gonna stay in this cup for a bit.

I'll be out later.

You can't do that, it's rude.

And what about Princess Bubblegum?

She's way old, and you like her.

Yeah, but she listens to music.

Moe probably only, like,

listens to the sound of the earth decaying.

Come on, you're being weird.

Hey, sorry about that, Moe.

Boys, I know this is new and different.

I am not BMO.

But I will do the best to be your friend.

This is the daybreak of our lives,

and we have all the time in the world

to learn about each other.

For now, I will be your little robot.

Would you look at that beautiful snowfall.

Hey, let's get out there and have some fun.

I think I'm feeling better now.

Oh, whoa! Hey!

Hello there, BMO!

Hello there, DMO.

I'm here on a solo birthday mission.

Oh, yes, yes, BMO, I know all about it.

Moe left special instructions for you.

He wants you to stand on that "x" over here.

Oh, okay.

Like this?

DMO, what happened?

Oh, this? I-it's nothing.

It's just whatever.

Uh, I don't know about this, DMO.

Something doesn't... Aah!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa!

Ugh!

Hello?

Boys, look at this!

This is cool, right?

Whoo-hoo! Yeah! Yeah!

Oh!

Whoo!

- Classic! - Yeah!

Did you see what we did, Moe?

This is horseplay!

Stop it!

We need to go inside and do what I want to do!

Oh. O-okay. If... if you want.

Yeah.

DMO? Hello?

Anybody?

The "x" door opened, and I fell through.

I think something went wrong with the mission.

Uh...

Abort mission!

Unless... maybe this is all part of Moe's plan.

It doesn't seem like it.

But maybe that's the point.

Maybe the lesson is that when you are grown,

you won't ever be able to tell

if everything is going totally haywire,

or maybe actually everything is perfectly fine.

- - Huh?

Huh? Who's there?
