Handel's "Messiah,"

and Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet.

To improve on the condition

of her armies,

Joan of Arc plans on instituting

a full scale aerobics program

on her return to France.

I don't think it's gonna work.

No?

He loves...

He loves San Dimas.

And now, for our last speaker.

One of the greatest presidents

in American history...

...Mr. Abraham Lincoln.

Four score and...

...seven minutes ago,

we, your forefathers,

were brought forth

upon a most excellent adventure.

Conceived by our new friends...

...Bill...

...and Ted.

These two great gentlemen

are dedicated to a proposition

which was true in my time,

just as it's true today.

Be excellent to each other...

...and... party on, dudes!

- No...

- Way!

Thank you, San Dimas High!

We want more! We want more!

Intro.

I'm Bill S. Preston, Esquire.

- Bill?

- What's up, Ted?

Well... we traveled through time.

I mean, we met lots of great leaders,

and we got an A-plus

on our history report...

...but look at us, nothing's different.

Maybe it's time we get Eddie Van Halen.

Maybe we should start

learning how to play.

Maybe you're right, Ted.

Hello, again, my excellent friends.

Whoa!

Congratulations on passing

your history report.

Rufus.

The babes!

We looked all over England for you.

Where'd you get those savory clothes?

Rufus introduced us

to a place called the mall.

And something called credit cards.

I got them out of England

just before they had to marry

those royal ugly dudes.

Way to go Rufus.

How can we ever thank you, Rufus?

Well, you can start

by signing this for my kids.

Why?

They're big fans of yours.

- What?

- Everyone is.

Wyld Stallyns' music has become

the foundation of our whole society.

No way.

Yes way.

In fact, I believe you were there.

That futuristic place with the domes?

And the totally excellent music.

They totally worshipped us there, Rufus.

I know.

That's why I was sent to make sure

you passed your history report.

If you guys were separated it would have

been disastrous for life as we know it.

You see, eventually your music will help

put an end to war and poverty.

It will align the planets and

bring them into universal harmony,

allowing meaningful contact

with all forms of life,

from extraterrestrial beings

to common household pets.

And... it's excellent for dancing.

Whoa.

Why don't you have the ladies

sign as well, would you please?

- After all, they are in the band.

- They are?

- Excellent.

- Excellent.

Where are you going, Rufus?

I got a surprise for you.

Here.

That's to help you

as you start your new band.

Thanks, Rufus.

Now I just have one further

humble request.

If I might be so honored

to jam with you?

- Do you know how to play, Rufus?

- Well, I play a little.

Whoa!

Most outstanding, Rufus.

Let's jam.

- Bill, my friend?

- Yes, Ted, my friend?

This has been

a most excellent adventure.

- One...

- Two...

One, two, three, four!

They do get better.
