Meet Ricky, Mabel, and Dipper Pines! Three siblings looking to just hang out during the summer with their great uncle Stan in a little town called Gravity Falls! Let's hope that nothing too crazy happens!
Continuing with Stan, he marks Xs on a map of USA with "STATES I'M BANNED IN" written above it.
Stan:"Meanwhile, your old uncle Stan was doing great. I had come up with a sophisticated new business strategy."
He picks up a lottery card and begins scratching some circles off with a coin.
Stan:"Come on, owl...owl...football player with an omelet!? Gah!""
He crumpled the card up and throws it against the window.
Stan:"I was in great shape, living on my own and the best part was I didn't need help from nobody."
He is seen dialing a number at a payphone.

Ford:" Hello? This is Stanford Pines."
Stan hangs up the phone and sighs.
Ford is seen Driving into Gravity Falls.
Ford:"I was heading out on my own as well. And when I got there, I set to work using my grant money to investigate the strange properties of this town, but what would I find here?"
A giant hand grabs his car.
Ford:"Bingo. I began to investigate at once."
A Journal is set on a table, tracing his hand, pasting the trace on the Journal, and writing "1" on it.
Ford:"I knew I'd have to record my findings. I began to keep a journal..."
Dipper:"THE JOURNALS!!!"
In the present. Everyone is staring at Dipper.
Dipper:"Sorry, sorry, just got excited there... About the journals...Keep-keep talking."
Ford:"I began to keep a journal..."
Dipper screams and Ford clears his throat.
Ford:"Just going to ignore that. There were anomalies everywhere. And the more I looked, the more I saw."
As a young man, he catches some Eye-Bats and puts them into a jar, then records it in his Journal.
The Shape Shifter is seen hatching in front of him, then immediately turns into a cup.
Stanford writes in his journal about the "floating cliffs". Him and a gnome are seen as he measures it. It also looks like Shmebulock.
Ford:"Fascinating, what did you say your name was?"
Gnome:"Shmebulock... Senior."
Ford writes in journal 3 and looks at the cover.
Ford:"It was finally a place where I felt at home, but something nagged at me: where did it all come from? It seemed to me the answer must come from outside of our world, a dimension of weirdness leaking into ours."
