Short filmTranscript
00:03I had been selected for a most important journey.
00:06I was to help fulfill the destiny of the two great ones, Bill and Ted.
00:11Wild Stallions rule!
00:15Whenever time stands still and trouble moves too fast,
00:21To save the future, we must learn about the past.
00:30Whoa!
00:35Excellent!
00:38Bogus!
01:00Excellent adventures, most triumphant!
01:18I don't know what to do with you boys anymore.
01:20Give us straight A's and send us home early.
01:22You got the second part right.
01:27All right dude, let's motor before he changes his mind.
01:31Just don't bother ever coming back.
01:35Good fortune has smiled down upon us Ted.
01:38We are finished with school.
01:40You got that backwards. School is finished with you.
01:43That's right guys, you're expelled.
01:48Bill, this is as heinous as it gets.
01:50If my dad finds out I'm expelled, he'll kill me.
01:55Your parents will get notices in the mail this week.
01:57Isn't there anything we can do?
02:00Something really big.
02:01Believe me, Mr. Ryan, you do not want Ted's demise on your conscience.
02:06Well, tomorrow is career day.
02:08I don't suppose you boys have lined up a speaker like you were supposed to.
02:11No, but that is because we have been working on someone totally outrageously special.
02:15Oh? Who have you got in mind?
02:25Smokey the bear?
02:27See what I mean?
02:29I'm just wasting my time here.
02:31Give us a chance, Mr. Ryan.
02:32We will find a most awesome speaker.
02:35All right.
02:36But understand, the letters have already been written.
02:39They just have to be mailed.
02:41We will not let you down, Mr. Ryan.
02:43Count on it.
02:44Come on, Ted.
02:45Ted?
02:46What?
02:47Come on, dude.
02:53Ted, my catatonic friend.
02:55If we get expelled, we are two dead dudes.
03:12Hey, maybe we could get your dad to speak a career day.
03:15Then instead of killing you, he'd be unwittingly saving your life.
03:18My father?
03:19Surely you are kidding.
03:25Sorry, dude.
03:26I must not have been thinking.
03:28Who can we get to speak?
03:30Unfortunately, Janet Jackson is on tour.
03:33Whoa, she would have gone over well.
03:35Yeah.
03:35There must be someone we can get who will impress Vice Principal Ryan.
03:39Whoa!
03:40How about the President of the United States?
03:43He might be interesting.
03:44I think he's too busy being President, dude.
03:47Oh, let us face it.
03:48It is useless.
03:50I am one deceased duck.
03:52Not true, Ted.
03:54Well, what about those statuesque dudes on Mr. Ryan's desk?
03:58Right!
03:59Shakespeare and that Mark Twain dude.
04:01Oh, but they are dead.
04:03Like I am about to be.
04:05Not for us.
04:06We can go back in time, bag one of them, and be reinstated on Mr. Ryan's most honorable list.
04:11Excellent!
04:39Whoa!
04:47Ted, we are just in time for the gala premiere.
04:50Let us buy tickets.
04:51First, let us buy refreshments.
04:57I'll take a medium popcorn with butter and make it fresh, not yesterday's.
05:01And I'll have some of those candies that stick to your teeth and glue your mouth shut.
05:05I know not of what foodstuffs you speak.
05:08I sell only fish and chips.
05:12Ew!
05:13Fish!
05:14Oh, well.
05:15It is Brainiac food, and we could certainly use some of that.
05:18How much?
05:19Two guineas.
05:24I don't have any small furry animals, Ted.
05:27Do you?
05:27No, I do not.
05:32No cash.
05:33No chow.
05:37Whoa!
05:38What a rude dude.
05:40Forget it, Bill.
05:41Well, we'll buy some munchies at the snack bar in the theatre.
05:49How goeth the ticket sales for opening night?
05:52Verily, it is almost a sellout, Mr. Shakespeare.
05:56Superb!
05:56I...
05:59What is your scenery doing out there?
06:01Ushers, get that on the stage!
06:09Always something.
06:14How mayhaps?
06:15May I be of service to you two gentlemen from Verona?
06:21We are from San Dimas.
06:23Yeah.
06:24And we would like to speak to that most famous Mr. William Shakespeare.
06:27Sorry, no interviews until after the performance.
06:32All right.
06:33Then we would like two of your best tickets to the show.
06:35Nothing in the balcony.
06:37I get nosebleeds.
06:38That will be two pounds.
06:40Heavy.
06:47That should about cover it.
06:51What manner of money be this?
06:56Counterfeit, methinks.
06:59Stop, thou most foul and face names!
07:02Perhaps if the play gets good reviews, we'll be able to convince Mr. Shakespeare to speak at career day.
07:07Ushers, stop those two scoundrels!
07:12Bill, I do not think these big ugly dudes want to show us to our seats.
07:16I concur 100% with you, Ted, my friend.
07:20Look!
07:21It's Bart Simpson!
07:24I can't believe they looked!
07:29Hey!
07:32We'll ditch him back here, dude.
07:35Now come us back here!
07:37Ted, just like most odious gym class.
07:40But Bill, I have never been able to get more than two feet off the ground on one of these
07:45things.
07:58Where could they have gone?
08:01Where could they have gone?
08:02But, Soft, what light through yonder window brings?
08:06It is the east.
08:08It is the east.
08:10And Juliet is the sun?
08:12We should ask for our money back, Bill.
08:15We specifically asked not to be seated in the balcony.
08:18Psst! Juliet!
08:20You're lying!
08:21Us? Juliet?
08:23No way!
08:24Right!
08:25I am Bill S. Preston Esquire.
08:27And I am Ted Theodore Logan.
08:29And together, we are...
08:31Wild Stallions!
08:36What means this, Wild Stallions?
08:38Who are these Bill and Ted?
08:39Where's your name?
08:40I'm not!
08:41I'm not!
08:42I'm not!
08:43I'm not!
08:53I'm not!
08:53I'm not!
08:56I'm not!
08:56What was the question, dude?
08:58He doesn't know what he wants to be.
09:00Oh!
09:02Be what you wanna be!
09:04Or not!
09:05Whatever!
09:08To be or not to be?
09:11That is the question!
09:13Ooh!
09:14I like him it!
09:19Our first!
09:21Style, dude!
09:32I'm gonna steer if I can't see!
09:33Steer, dude!
09:34I'm gonna steer if I can't see!
09:50Whoa!
09:51Whoa!
09:53All right!
09:57Ted, that was one righteous water slide!
10:01Almost as good as the water loop in San Dimas!
10:04Should we go again?
10:05I do not know, dude!
10:07I do not see where to get tickets!
10:09Clean jumpers!
10:11We are no such thing!
10:13True!
10:13We are...
10:14Wild Stallions!
10:15Who are you?
10:16I'm a 49er!
10:19Whoa!
10:19Joe Montana!
10:21He would be an outstanding career day speaker!
10:24Not Montana!
10:26San Francisco!
10:27And I'm Captain John Sudbury!
10:30And this is my man!
10:32I, a prospector!
10:34It does not appear from your appearance that your prospects are very good, dude!
10:37Oh, true enough!
10:39I've been poking around this here hill for now and who knows how long!
10:43And all I've ever discovered is dirt!
10:46Uh, you fellas wanna give it a go?
10:48No, thank you, grizzled old prospector dude!
10:51We have our own mining to do!
10:53My friend Ted speaks the truth!
10:55We must find someone to speak a career day or we will be most heinously expelled from school!
10:59You boys don't quite get my drift!
11:02You're gonna have to make restitution for all the damage you caused to my food!
11:11Besides, prospecting is a fine career!
11:14Nothing but opportunity!
11:16And I guarantee you one thing!
11:19There's gold in them marhills!
11:28Nothing like the sound of other people working, do you siree?
11:39What in tarnation?
11:41Ha-ha! Great idea, Sutter! You'll have a fortune in no time!
11:49What the heck?
12:01Whoa, you were right, grizzled prospector dude!
12:05There really is gold in them marhills!
12:07Oh, wha-wha-wha-what are you boys jawing about?
12:11Three rides for a pouch of gold, dude!
12:13Absolutely! It's the most awesome first water slide in history!
12:18I've struck gold!
12:21Ha! Oh, rich! Ha-ha!
12:23Filthy rich! Ha-ha-ha!
12:26Mine!
12:27Man!
12:28Yeah, I gotta find a place to hide it!
12:31Ha-ha-ha-ha!
12:33Ha-ha-ha-ha!
12:34Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
12:35Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
12:35Oh!
12:41Uh-oh!
12:41Aw!
12:42BA-HAA-he-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
12:45-ha!
12:45Ted, there's a whole lot of shaking going on!
12:48True, Bill! We'd better bounce of the moon!
12:50Uh-uh!
12:53ΧΧΧ, dude!
12:57moim telom
12:58WHOA-AAAHHHH
13:01We're not alone, Ted!
13:03We still need to find a most outstanding speaker for career day.
13:06What about that other most statuesque dude on Mr. Ryan's desk?
13:10Right! Mr. Mark Twain!
13:12Found it! Mark Twain!
13:15See under Samuel Clemens? What does that mean?
13:18It is most obvious, dude.
13:20Mr. Samuel Clemens must know where Mr. Mark Twain lives.
13:23Of course!
13:41Whoa!
13:53That had to be one of your worst landings, dude.
13:56You try to drive when you're up to your neck and frogs.
14:16Just pretend you don't see any frogs, Ted.
14:19Where's frogs?
14:21Mark Twain!
14:23Bill, did you hear that?
14:25Yeah, a most excellent turn of events.
14:30Mark Twain!
14:32Mr. Mark Twain?
14:33Excuse me?
14:35Are you the most famous, Mr. Mark Twain?
14:37No, Mark Twain is a measurement.
14:39It means two fathoms.
14:43Like Fathom of the Opera?
14:45No, like 12 feet.
14:47Now, let me work before I get fired.
14:53Mark Twain!
14:55Where?
15:01Perhaps we should try to find Mr. Samuel Clemens.
15:03He'll know where to find Mr. Mark Twain.
15:05But... but I'm Samuel Clemens.
15:08Excellent!
15:09Then you must know where...
15:13Where did they come from?
15:15It is a most long and odious story.
15:18A story, eh?
15:20Clemens, what are these frogs doing on my riverboat?
15:24They're just leaving, Mr. Bixby.
15:27Well, see that they do, if you want to remain captain of this boat.
15:37Now get them into the dining room.
15:40This is more difficult than that most loathsome frog video game.
15:49Clemens, you're fired!
15:51Oh, and another career bites the dust.
15:54Do not worry, Mr. Captain Clemens, sir.
15:57We will help you out.
15:58Oh, you've already done too much.
16:05Ted, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
16:08Most assuredly, dude.
16:10Let us get hopping.
16:33Well, we did it.
16:36What's the difference?
16:37I've lost another job.
16:39Another job?
16:41Yep.
16:42Let's see.
16:42I was a printer, a Confederate soldier, a miner,
16:45and now I can add Mississippi Riverboat Captain to the was list.
16:50But you got rid of the frogs.
16:51Will that not get you your job back?
16:53We didn't exactly get rid of them.
16:56Perhaps you could tell the passengers you've installed shiny green astroturf.
17:01Or maybe everyone will want frog's legs for dinner.
17:06Oh, not even if it's the only thing on the menu.
17:12Whoa, I have just had a flash of brainitude.
17:15What is it?
17:16I'll try anything.
17:18Ooh, I like the fat one.
17:20I like the one with long eyelashes.
17:22Now, my money's on the green one.
17:23Well, they're all green.
17:24Oh.
17:27All right, Ward.
17:29Do it for me, dude.
17:30On your mark, get set, go!
17:34And they're off!
17:36Lumpy's in the lead, followed by Hoppy, Lillipad, and Ward bringing up the rare.
17:41Come on, Ward!
17:41No!
17:42No!
17:46Bummer, dude.
17:47Ward is my favorite.
17:49Brainwave.
17:50I know just how to correct this most egregious situation.
17:56It's Slumpy, Lillipad, Hoppy, and Ward is now four lengths behind.
18:11And here comes Ward!
18:13Come on, Ward!
18:15Come on, Ward!
18:16Come on, Ward!
18:16Come on, Ward!
18:16Come on, Ward!
18:18Ward is through the pack and in the lead.
18:22Whoa!
18:25And now it's no one in the lead and every man for himself!
18:36Whoa!
18:38Whoa!
18:40Whoa!
18:41Whoa!
18:42Ted, my friend, that was most victorious.
18:45Nice!
18:46Whoa!
18:47Whoa!
18:47Whoa!
18:49Sorry, Mr. Riverboat Pilot, dude.
18:51We inadvertently let our enthusiasm get the better of us.
18:54That's X, Mr. Riverboat Pilot, dude.
18:58Clemens, you're fired!
19:00You can't fire me.
19:02I'm already fired.
19:04Good!
19:08Uh, Mr. Ex-Captain Pilot Clemens, sir,
19:11we were wondering if you could be a speaker at the San Dimas High School Career Day.
19:14Yes, we couldn't find Mr. Mark Twain,
19:17but you would be an excellent second choice.
19:20Plus, we guarantee that you, even as an ex-pilot of a riverboat,
19:25would be most triumphant.
19:26Sorry, boys, but I've got a new career.
19:30I'm gonna be a writer.
19:31And in a way, you know it's all you're doing.
19:34See, my first story is the celebrated jumping frog of Calaveras County.
19:41By Samuel Clemens.
19:44Yeah, he's kind of flat.
19:45I need something that sings.
19:48Something with flesh.
19:49Something like Wild Stallions.
19:52Oh, that's a good name.
19:55Wild Stallions.
19:57Yeah, it's a good name.
19:58It's ours.
19:59True.
20:00You will need your own name, if you are to make your mark.
20:03And I have just the name for you.
20:05Two Fathoms.
20:08Mark Twain.
20:10Hmm, not bad.
20:12I'll consider it.
20:13Glad we could help you.
20:15Too bad we could find no one to help us.
20:17Yes, Ted, my friend.
20:19It is time to return to San Dimas and face the most non-triumphant music.
20:26Mark Twain!
20:28Mark Twain!
20:38I'm a major bum, dude.
20:40We busted our buns and have nodded a show for it.
20:43Truly.
20:44There's never anyone around when you need them.
20:48Whoa!
20:49Check it out, Ted!
20:52Dude!
20:53That is it!
20:54If ever anybody needed someone, we are them.
21:00But you do not understand.
21:01We have got to see his honor, the mayor.
21:04Yeah.
21:04Tell him two future voters are in dire need of his most esteemed assistants.
21:09I'm sorry.
21:10His honor, the mayor, is not him today.
21:21Whoa!
21:22What's wrong, Wanda?
21:24Frogs!
21:25Mr. Mayor, dude!
21:27Are we glad to see you.
21:29I want to thank you all for the wonderful guests you arranged.
21:33I think this career day has been a great success.
21:38Unfortunately, Bill and Ted haven't arrived.
21:43So I guess you all dismissed early.
21:45Sure, Bill!
21:46I did!
21:47Here you go!
21:48I'm going out of my way!
21:50Woo!
21:51Woo!
21:52Woo!
21:54Woo!
21:54Hold everything!
21:55Bill, Ted, what's going on?
21:57We have arrived with our most tantalizing guest speaker for career day!
22:01Woo!
22:11Please, throw your hands together and give a big Sandimus high welcome to...
22:17His honor, the mayor...
22:19Yeah!
22:21Woo!
22:24Woo!
22:25Woo!
22:26Woo!
22:27Woo!
22:27Woo!
22:29Woo!

22:35Way to go, dude.
22:38Most triumphant!
