02x18 - High Moon

[bunniefuu]

boom

pew pew pew

Elroy, what's going on?

(Elroy) 'It's my favorite
TV program, dad.'

Spies in Space.
Starring, Roger Mars.

Well, he's marring
my concentration.

And it's too loud.

Did you call me, dad?

No, I was telling Elroy,
the TV is too loud.

(Judy)
'What?'

The TV is too loud.

What crowd?

Not crowd. Loud!
Ah, forget it.

Elroy, why don't you turn
the TV down? I can't hear dad.

Ah, boy.

(Elroy)
'Watch this, dad.'

Roger is gonna
fight those monsters.

Ah-ha!
Monsters approaching.

[monsters growl]

More monsters.

[monsters growl]

I'll take them out
with my pulsar-ray g*n.

pew pew pew

Ah, too much v*olence.

Yeah, too much v*olence.

I got an idea, Elroy.

How about reading
a book with me?

Can you hold it, dad?

Roger Mars is chasing
an enemy of the empire.

"Enemy of the empire."
What empire?

Ah, there's nothin' like
a good book, I always say.

You do?
When?

(George)
'Well, I always say it.'

But the television is so loud,
no one can hear me.

Sorry, dad.

I want you
to see this, Elroy.

It's called,
"Great Heroes of the West."

'These men were heroes.'

'Fearless pioneers.'

Men like Judd Blackstone,
who went West with only

a shovel to work the land.

He was so poor, he had to borrow
dirt from a neighbor.

'You know why he did that?'

Oh, nothing good
on TV?

That's just it!
They didn't have TV.

No TV?

'He did it because
he had courage.'

Do you know what courage
means, Elroy?

Sure, dad.
Roger Mars has courage.

'Courage? He's not
even a real spy.'

He's an actor,
with a strong overbite.

Elroy, do you even know
what he's fighting about?

Search me.

He's not fighting
about anything.

You see this?

'This was your great
great, grandfather.'

'Big George Jetwest.'

'He fought one of
the most famous duels ever.'

'Against a man
named Bad Bart.'

'The fastest g*n
in the West.'

What did they
fight about, dad?

'Well, Bad Bart
wore a black hat'

'and Big George
wore a white hat.'

'So, they had to fight.'

That was the code
of the West.

- Did he win?
- Of course he did.

Good guys always win.

Well, Elroy, I hope
you've learnt something.

Yeah, dad, be a good guy
and you can't lose.

And oh, yeah yeah.
You've gotta wear a white hat.

Sheesh

[upbeat music]

Gotcha, Astro.

Roger Mars, secret agent
strikes again.

pew

poof

Jane!

What happened to
your newspaper, dear?

Ask the secret agent
to my left.

Gee, mom, I-I guess
I disintegrated it.

Elroy, I thought I told you
not to play with

your paper disintegrator toy
while your father's eating.

We've been playing space spy.

- I'm sorry, mom.
- Me too.

Why doesn't he play
when I'm payin' the bills?

Don't worry, I'll have Rosie
punch in another paper, George.

This space stuff
has gone too far.

We're going away for a couple
of days, away from Roger Mars.

I want my son to see
some real heroes.

Are we going to a
spaceball game, dad?

'No.'

I got some vacation time coming
and I'm gonna show my family

the Old West.

Just like great, great grandpa
George Jetwest saw it.

Uh, that old stuff.

A family outing.
Wonderful!

I better tell Judy.
She has a big date this weekend.

(George)
'I'll tell her.'

Watch this,
Judie.

pop

Oh, Bavo,
you're so wonderful.

I know.

(George)
'Judy, I wanna talk to you.'

Daddy,
I'm on the phone.

Oh, dad,
this is Bavo Crushstar.

Quarter back of the
Orbit High football team.

- Hi, Mr. Jetson.
- Delighted.

- We're going on vacation.
- I can't.

I've got a date
with Bavo.

Get packin', Judie.

Bavo, I have to
call you right back.

Oh, that's okay.

I-I'm just gonna
tackle something.

"Tackle something?"
Isn't he dreamy?

Daddy, why do
I have to go?

As head of this household,
I've decided that

everybody's going.
The whole family.

- Even Astro, dad?
- Uh, yeah, even Astro.

Yipee.

screech

slurp slurp

Down, boy. Down.

[sobbing]

Okay, okay.
I'm sorry.

Everybody, into the fast-change
quickie costume machine.

Ready?

'Okay.'

Let's go,
ha-ha, partners.

Bluff's point.
We'll stop there first.

'That was where
the famous duel between

'great, great granddad Jetwest
and Bad Bart took place.'

They met at sundown
in the middle of the street.

Face to face,
jaw to jaw.

George Jetwest against
the fastest g*n in the West.

'They were supposed to draw
on the third sound'

'from the church bell.'

'It rang once, and everybody
cleared the streets.'

'It rang again, and the men
grabbed for their g*ns.'

'It rang a third time,
and then--'

[police siren]

Oh, no, a space cop.

What did I do?
What? What?

[laughs]

- Anything wrong, officer?
- Oh, so that's it.

What's it?
What? What?

I saw blinkin' lights
and I thought it might be

some kinda distress signal.

Blinkin' lights?

beep beep beep

Sorry, sir,
but it's the altitude.

My electrons
rush to my head.

Yeah, we gotta take
her in for a recharge.

Okay, you can go now.
Watch out for Bad Bart Blaster.

You mean, the--

Yeah, great, great grandson
of the original Bad Bart.

He's been causin'
some trouble around here.

So, be careful.

Wow, this is exciting.

The Wild West
still lives on.

Oh, let's let it live.

Maybe we should
go back, dear.

No, Jane. Would Big George
Jetwest have gone back?

If he were my husband,
he would have, and right now.

Look at that,
Bluff point is dead ahead.

Look, Astro, space cadet's
training center.

Rockets, shuttles, wow.

This is great, dad.

Wait a minute, this is
supposed to be a ghost town

not a space city.

George, this was so clever.
Making us think we were going

to some horrible western town,
and then bringing us here.

Where's the hotel?
It's lunch time.

But we are going to some
horrible western town.

I mean, we-we're going
to the Old West.

At least we're supposed
to be going to the Old West.

Look, dad,
I'm a galaxy astronaut.

And I'm a monkey's uncle.

Where's the salon?
Where's the sheriff's office?

And you're a space cadet,
how thrilling.

Watch this.

whoosh

Oh, Mr. Apollo,
you're so wonderful.

I know.

Dad, there's someone
I want you to meet.

This is Neil Apollo.

Hi, Mr. Jetson.

Want to see me achieve
total weightlessness?

- Yes!
- It isn't difficult really.

You just..

We're getting outta here.
Let's go, Elroy.

Gosh. Coming, dad.

I don't understand it Jane.

That doesn't look
like an old ghost town.

Hey, Judy, you want to see me
achieve total weightlessness?

[sighs]

(Judy)
Wasn't he just spacey?

'I could've stayed
there forever.'

[inhales]

- What about Mapopreshner?
- Mapo-who?

Let's go somewhere else.

Love Point wasn't
the only town in the West.

I'll just find
another place to land.

I told you not to space float
while your father is flying.

Sorry, mom.

- I've got it.
- What?

- What?
- What?

It's two forks next.

Wonderful, I'm starved.

We'll need two more
knives and spoons to.

Oh not "Two forks",
Two Forks, an old cattle town.

Did I ever tell you
about the time

my great great granddad,
George Jetwest got a posse?

[all together]
Yes.

Oh!

Dad, how about lunch?

Astro looks kinda hungry.

- He's always hungry.
- I'm hungry too, George.

'Maybe we should
stop for a while.'

(George)
Sorry, Jane.
We're burning daylight.

Burning daylight?

- That's western talk.
- 'Oh, that's nice, dear.'

- Yippe!
- What is it, dear?

Look up, ahead.

'Eureka, the old West at last.'

Put the coffee
on the fire, Rosie.

And put some beans
on the burner.

Beans, Rosie?

Full of western talk Roy-boy.

Now this is got to
be the real, old West.

[instrumental music]

Cut, cut, cut.
Who are these people?

They must be extras, CB.

Oh, are they extras
in this scene?

No, CB.

Cut!

thud

Where are we?

You're on my set.
My closed set.

Closed set of what?
And who are you?

Who am I?

[laughs]
Who am I?

That's not fair.
I asked you first.

What're you doing here?

(Jetson)
I'm looking for Two Forks.
What happened to it?

This is Two Forks.

Two Forks studio.
Who's your agent, kiddo?

Agent? I just want
to see some cowboys.

You must be on
the western picture.

- That's sector D3.
- 'Thanks.'

What happened to the West?
Everything's modern now.

Maybe, there never was a West.

Maybe everything
was always easy.

- 'What's the trouble, old boy?'
- Huh?

Hey, you-you-you're..
Your're--

Roger Mars.

[gasps]

You're the big TV star.

I know.

- What are you doing here?
- I work here.

I saw you were looking
rather down at the mouth

and thought you might
need some help. Hop in.

Maybe I can cheer you up.

Well, okay.

But, you wouldn't
understand.

What's wrong?
Bad director?

- No.
- Bad script?

- No, it's my kid.
- Child actors.

You can't work with them,
I know, I know.

Scene stealers.

You don't know what I mean.
He's my son.

Even worse. Never work
with family, old chum.

They'll upstage
you every time.

I don't believe this.

So, that's the problem?

Yeah, I wanted Elroy to learn
a few historical things.

He might still.

All you want is to show him what
the old West was like, right?

Right.

'Well, what if you
did show him?'

I could play this Bad Bart chap
and you be the good guy.

You mean, play acting?

Why not?

Some disguises,
some blanks in the g*ns

we could put on
a jolly good show.

Where?

There's an old ghost town
set on the back lot.

- Set 33?
- Right.

I'll get ready and wait
for you in the salon.

Gee, thanks.

Be there with your
family in five minutes.

You wouldn't believe
who I just saw?

Roger Mars?

Yeah-ha. No.

A Bad Bart Blaster.

Oh, that stuff again.

Come on, daddy, please.

I'm telling ya,
I was walking along

not bothering anyone

when boom, he challenges
me to a duel.

I wanna meet
this Bad Bart.

I don't know if
we should, honey.

It may not be safe
for women and children.

Bad Bart Blaster
is a dangerous man.

Look, George, if he's such
a bad guy, let's just leave.

Jane, I'm trying to teach
our son something.

What, how to be silly?

The two of you grown men,
it's just juvenile.

[growling]

Rosie, do something.

Heal.

(Jane)
Thank you, Rosie.

I'm going in there
to face up to Bad Bart.

Maybe, you shouldn't, dad.

It's time you learned
about family honor, Elroy.

Hey, take it easy, pal.

That you, Jetson?

Yep.

You're the great,
great, great--

Save your breath,
I'm him.

So what?

I got an old score
to settle with you.

For the honor of the Bad Bart,
whose cards were marked?

- They weren't.
- They were.

Bad Bart never lost
with a fair deck.

And George Jetwest
never marked his cards.

Dad, he's got a G-U-N.

Quiet down, kid.
I ain't ignorant.

I can ask the..

I know, what I got.

Just be outside in the middle
of the street, Jetson.

Just like they did it.

I'll give you one hour.

Why wait,
unless you're chicken?

Dad, ek-stay
on the ek-en-chi.

Let's make it now.

George, please.

Hear that Jetson?
That's your widow talking.

This Mars guy is terrific.

Come on, Bark.

bark bark bark

See you in an hour, Bad Bart.

George, what's wrong
with you?

He's a k*ller.

I can't let that stop me.

Mr. J, I've entered all relevant
data into my computer bank

to calibrate your chances
in the duel.

How do they look, Rosie?

Not rosy at all,
Mrs. Jane.

You don't have to
do this, dad.

We learned what you
wanted to teach us.

Son, sometimes a man's got to do
what a man's got to do.

Gee, you're
the greatest, dad.

I can't believe
how well it's going.

[laughs]

A man's got to do
what a man's got to do.

I should have won
three space Oscar awards.

[laughs]

[male groaning]

What're you doing here?

[groans]

Ah.
Oh, thanks old boy.

Roger, you were
terrific back there.

You think,
I was convincing?

What are you
saying, Jetson?

I've been tied up
the entire time.

But you're supposed to be
zapping me in three minutes.

- 'Two minutes, Jetson.'
- Two minutes, you see?

That is not moi.

Oh, then who'll be sh**ting
at me, your stunt man?

Jetson, that's
Bad Bart Blaster down there.

He tied me up
and took my place.

He knows, who you are.

You mean, the Bad Bart Blaster?

Yes, he's out
for revenge.

He'll be
sh**ting at you.

(Bad Bart)
Let's go, Jetson.
It's sh**t time.

I'm a dead man.
Dead I tell you.

Easy, Jetson.
Don't worry.

There's always
a bright side.

Bright side,
can you think of one?

Brace up, old man,
the show must go on.

It must?

Yes, go out there
and break a leg.

Your family
is waiting, Jetson.

Yeah, I'll do it
for my family.

For Elroy, for Judy,
and for Jane.

And I'll do it
for George Jetwest.

That's the stuff.
Catch it up. Entrance.

[dramatic music]

[barking]

At last, a show down.

And I called him a chicken.
Oh, boy!

[growling]

Oh dear, oh dear!

- Bark, is that you?
- Astro?

Uh-huh, that's me.

I no see.

George, it's my
cousin, Bark.

Hey, your mutt
talks like my mutt.

(together)
Mutt?

'No I said mutt.'

I'm waiting for
you to draw, Jetson.

D-d-draw?

- I'm not a mutt.
- Yeah! He's not a mutt.

I give up.
I give up!

George, you were wonderful.

You too, Astro.

I say, smashing!

And what's your name?

Judy and you're Roger Mars.

Ah, you know me?

Now, watch this Judy.

[drumroll]

Oh, Mr. Mars,
you're so wonderful.

I know.

Gee, Mr. Mars, I watch
your show all the time.

You're my favorite hero--

Movie star!

But, you're my hero, dad.

You're learning, Elroy.
You're learning.

And you're my hero too.

Muaahh.

Thanks.

Oh, watch this.

[instrumental music]

[g*nsh*t]

Oh, ow, ow!

Look, Judy, here's
a picture of Roger Mars.

Oh, isn't he smashing.

Yeah, and he's a nice guy too.

Got ya, Astro.

[g*nsh*t]

Elroy!

Why don't you go watch
a good spy show on TV?

Spies? That's old news dad.

High Moon is playing at
the Star theater, may I go?

Alright, but when
will you be back, dear?

Ah, about seven down, mum.

Right, partner.

Jane, I created
a monster.

No, George, you created
another Jetwest.

[laughs]

(Elroy)
Adios, mum, dad.

We're going off
into the sunset.

- Yippeee!
- Yippeee!

Adios!

[theme music]
