[The tree nearest to Dipper groans and every knot in it opens in a glowing eye - the ones nearby soon follow, until the forest is full of eerie yellow lights.]
FUNNY HOW YOU'RE REFERRING TO IT IN THE PAST TENSE WHEN WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED!
[A chummy muppet arm reaches out from behind Dipper to try to toss itself around his shoulders, and on the other end of that arm is a wholeass Bill, congealing in a wave out of particles of black mist.]
AW, I WANT TO HELP YOU! ISN'T THAT WHAT I SAID ALREADY? YOU AND ME MAKE A GREAT TEAM. DIDJA FIND THAT HINT I LEFT YOU YET?
[Dipper yelps and squirms away, putting at least three feet between them.]
Hint?! I’m probably in a coma right now, thanks to you!
[What hint!?!? He made it about four minutes before his body completely shut down on him. At what point was he supposed to find a hint? Obtuse bastard.]
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! I'M NOT THE ONE THAT WORE YOU OUT, YOU DID THAT ONE TO YOURSELF! AND THEN YOUR SISTER RAN YOUR BODY AROUND IN CIRCLES!
[The woods whirl dizzying around them for a second, the ground spinning under Dipper's feet like a merry-go-round.]
ALL I DID WAS GET A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY!
[The ground lurches to a halt, just a suddenly. Bill is now directly overhead, bright against a sky that's full of yellow stars that look suspiciously like more eyes.]
YOU REMEMBER HOW DULL THE MINDSCAPE IS! IMAGINE BEING THERE FOR AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN!
[Dipper is not done yelling at Bill, however the world going topsy-turvey on him cuts him off pretty quick. As the ground lurches to a halt, Dipper loses his balance and falls over.]
[His attentions snaps northward, to the sky.]
Yeah, well, I guess that’s just a perk of not being a brain demon. Not being trapped in the mindscape!
[That’s fine because Dipper had no plans of taking his hand to begin with. He made that mistake one time, and one time was enough. He gets to his feet on his own.]
No! Are you kidding? You took my body and you didn’t even hold up our end of the deal! You broke the laptop! I don’t know what you want from me now, but you’re not getting anything.

[Bill sticks out his hand to help Dipper to his feet - and then, of course, it bursts into blue flame before the kid can touch it.]

Wait, what?
[Did he really leave him some kind of hint? That takes the wind out of his sails for just a moment.]
