Storyline
Rick, Morty, and Summer come across an ex-lover of Rick’s who happens to be a hive-mind alien named Unity. Chaos ensues and Rick begins to party. Meanwhile, Jerry and Beth find an underground lair of Rick’s and fight over whether or not he should be allowed to stay with them any longer.
Quotes
Blim Blam: Um, first of all, hello. Uh, my name is Blim Blam the Korblok. Second of all, cards on the table, I’m a murderer that eats babies, and I came to this planet to eat babies. However, I am also carrying a highly infectious disease that I suppose you could call “Space-AIDS” as you put it. And Rick did chain me up so that he could attempt to cure it. At the same time, Rick’s motivation to cure my disease was not to save my life or anyone else’s, but to patent and sell the cure for billions of Blemflarcks. But you know the reason why I ripped my chains out of the wall? And do you know why I’m never coming back to this planet? Because the two of you are the FUCKING WORST! You both hate yourselves and each other, and the idea that it has anything to do with Rick is laughable. I’d laugh, but I’m biologically incapable – that’s how alien I am. And even I’m sitting here listening to the two of you and being like, “What the fuck?” So, good luck with your shitty marriage, and tell Rick I’m sorry he has to deal with either of you. Blim Blam out!
Rick: The first rule of space travel kids is always check out distress beacons. Nine out of ten times it’s a ship full of dead aliens and a bunch of free shit! One out of ten times it’s a deadly trap, but… I’m ready to roll those dice!
Morty: Uhm, should we maybe stop somewhere and get you a coffee? Maybe splash a little water on your face, or…?
Unity: No, no. If I wanted to be sober, I wouldn’t have gotten drunk.
Summer: [addressing Rick] You and Unity are like… like leggings and mid-calf boots. You think you’re great together, but you’re just bringing out the worst in each other.
