## Transcript

Astolfo: Master, mom said it's my turn on the X-box.

Master Chief: I haven't seen my mother in 50 years. Ever since the government abducted me and turned me and turned me into a super soldier with the mission of fighting over taxed space farmers, and you come at me like this? Step off, dude!

Hippo: Damn, bruh. So you really can play X-Box whenever you want.

Master Chief: Yeah. Having no parents is pretty tight. One of the perks of being an adult.

Astolfo: Nothing says 50-year old man like 3 roommates and unemployment. You're really living the dream!

Master Chief: Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a lot of work since I stopped that alien invasion… *You're welcome!*

Hippo: Bruh, thank you for your service and all, but you *gotta* pay rent, bruh.

Master Chief: Yeah, well my job hunt hasn't really been going well.

Assistant Manager: Hmm..  there seems to be a four-year gap in your resume.

Master Chief: Yeah. I was cryogenically frozen while lost in deep space.

Assistant Manager: So… you're telling me you were asleep on the job for four consecutive years?

Master Chief: yes

Astolfo: If you need money… I know how you can make an easy 50 bucks using only your mouth!

Hippo: Bruh, Bruh, I know a place where you can get mad cash real fast.

Master Chief: Nice. But you drive. That gamer fuel hit different.

Hippo: It’s 11 AM, bruh.

Master Chief: One problem at a time.

Master Chief: Wow… These stores still exist

Hippo: Yeah I give them about a month

Duke Nukem: Welcome to GameStop, baby! Your one-stop shop for all your virtual ass kicking needs! You want a magazine subscription?

Master Chief: I’m not here for magazines! I’m here to get rich selling used games.

Duke Nukem: Yeah, sure, whatever…. Say, who’s the babe?

Master Chief: Who are you talking about? Astolfo is a-

Astolfo: Don’t ruin this for me!

Master Chief: He’s a boy.

Duke Nukem: Tomboys, Tomgirls, What's the difference? I'm an equal opportunity ass pounder!

Master Chief: I’m flattered, but I want money, not unwanted advances.

Duke Nukem: Damn no, not YOU! Power armor isn’t my thing.

Master Chief: Oh, and skin tight tank tops are better?

Astolfo: **YES**. Much better.

Master Chief: That’s it! I’m taking my copy of Lega Indiana Jones 2 and leaving!

Duke Nukem: Woah, wait! I’ll give you 30 power up rewards points for that game! If you throw in your ‘girlfriend’ on top.

Master Chief: Hmm…

Astolfo: Master… Don’t sell me to GameStop for store credit…

Master Chief: Deal.

Astolfo: **[GASP]**

Duke Nukem: Alright, I’m just gonna need your phone number and email address.

Master Chief: What? WHY?

Duke Nukem: So I can spam your inbox… **TO DEATH…**

Master Chief: QUICK! ACTIVATE ESCAPE MODE!

Duke Nukem: Thanks for droppin’ by Gamestop, Baby!

Astolfo: Master! Are you okay?

Master Chief: Not anymore… Plus I still can’t make rent.

Astolfo: Master, today you showed me that you find a typical visit to Game Stop more unbearable than living with me! I didn’t know you cared… *I’ll pay your rent.* Because… living with out you-

Master Chief: I don’t need your simp bucks.

Duke Nukem: Damn… what an absolute Chad!

## Trivia

* This is the last episode where Master Chief's voice would be generated by a text-to-speech program, as he'd be voiced by theboldone starting with the next episode.
* The vehicle that Hippo, Master Chief, and Astolfo drive to Gamestop is the M12 Chaingun Warthog.
* This is the second episode in a row where Astolfo transforms into his Bean Plush form, as well as the second time the ending theme song from "Super Mario World" is played while he's in said form.
* Astolfo remarks about Master Chief having 3 room mates, likely referring to himself, Hippo, and Anime Guy (who wasn't present in this episode).
* In Fate/Apocrypha, Astolfo has the class name of "Rider of "Black" with his main talent being that of mounting almost any kind of beast for battle. This is hilariously ironic as in this Video, this video, Astolfo *himself* is used as a mouth when he transforms into his Bean Plush form, which is used by Master Chief as a mount in order to escape GameStop.
