02x24 - My Incredible Shrinking Master

Post by bunniefuu »

What is it? What is it?

Jeannie!

Oh, master, I am so frightened.

Calm down. Just calm down.

How can I when something terrible
is going to happen?

What? What's gonna happen?

I'm not sure exactly...

...but I had this terrible dream
and then I woke up and I-

Jeannie, Jeannie, Jeannie.
It's a nightmare. A nightmare.

You go back to your bottle and forget
all about it. It's just a dream.

Oh, that is what worries me, master.
My dreams always come true!

- Your dreams always come true?
- Oh, yes, master.

- Something terrible is going to happen!
- No, no.

Now, don't worry.
You're gonna be fine.

You're gonna be fine.

Oh, I know.

Nothing is going
to happen to me, master.

It is going to happen to you!

Wait, wait, wait.
What's gonna happen to me?

Let me get that, would you, please?

I am sorry, master,
but I do not want to lose you.

Oh, you're not gonna lose me.

My dreams always come true.

Yeah.

Jeannie, exactly what
did you dream about?

Well, I cannot remember
exactly what it was.

Well, you must have some idea.

Was it involving
an automobile accident?

I do not think so.

- An earthquake?
- No.

- A flood?
- No.

- A slip in the shower?
- No.

- A volcano?
- No.

Well, Jeannie,
it must be something.

- An animal.
- An animal?

- It is all coming back to me now.
- Yeah?

You are going to be att*cked!

- att*cked by what?
- A cat.

A cat?

Oh, it was terrible.

It was huge and ferocious
and it was crouching over you...

- ... ready to eat you.
- Come on, stop playing.

And I was not there
to protect you.

Now, don't worry. I'm not gonna
let anything like that happen.

But how can you help it?

Well, it's very simple.

There aren't any wild animals
in Cocoa Beach, are there?

And I won't put myself in a position
where I'll meet any wild animals.

Now, you see
how simple that is, huh?

- You're not worried anymore, are you?
- Yes, master.

Something terrible is going
to happen to you.

I feel it in my bones.

I know this more than anything else
in my whole life.

And I have lived a long time.

Hi, Tony. Hey, look at what I've got.
Three front row tickets.

- Yeah, for what?
- To the circus.

- Circus?
- Haven't been since I was a kid.

- You and Jeannie and I could go-
- I'm sorry, Roge. No.

- But don't you like circuses?
- You know what they have there?

Yeah, they have tightrope walkers
and clowns and acrobats and-

- And wild animals.
- And wild animals.

Well, Jeannie had a dream last night
that I was att*cked by wild animals.

Well, here's your ticket and I'll have
these changed for two back row seats.

You couldn't pay me
to go to that thing.

Now we know where the trouble's from,
there's nothing to worry about.

Right.

Give me a screwdriver,
will you, Roge?

Oh, thanks.

- How does it look?
- Well, the flanges are okay.

That main rotor head's the one
that's gonna give us the problem.

Is everything all right?

Yes, yes. Everything's just fine.
You don't have to worry.

I hope you are right.

Well, the circus is probably clear
on the other side of town by now.

Very well.
Then I think I will go shopping.

Good, good. You do that. Have fun.

- Would you like to come with me?
- No. I have to finish up this project.

- What are you doing?
- I'm trying to miniaturize these parts.

Miniaturize?

Yeah, make smaller.

Why do you want them smaller?

A problem of sending up a m*ssile
is that you need...

...hundreds of pounds of thrust
for every payload pound.

- Do you understand?
- No.

He means, if we can reduce
the size of the parts...

- ... we can get more into the m*ssile.
- Oh, I see.

You mean, if that is tiny, then you will
have more room for other things.

Yeah, well,
something like that, yeah.

Oh, well, I am sure
you will be able to do it, master.

I remember when King Tut wanted
to build a dam across the Nile.

Everyone said
that it could not be done.

Jeannie, why don't
you go shopping?

- Yes, master. Bye-bye.
- Bye.

Well, here's that wiring diagram.

Do you know what that looks like?

That looks like the rotor's
been miniaturized.

Jeannie.

Do you realize what she's done?

She's saved us a year's work.

Oh, she can miniaturize
the whole m*ssile.

Tony. Tony? Tony.

I'm down here.

- Down where?
- I'm down here, Roge.

I'm down-
Hey, don't step on me, don't-

What are you doing down there?

She shrunk me.

She blinked at the rotor head,
miniaturized it...

...and some of it spilled over
onto me.

Don't panic. So you're a little short.

- Go find Jeannie.
- She went shopping.

Go find her.
Maybe she hasn't left yet.

Yeah, okay. I'll look in the house.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Don't leave me here!

- Don't get excited, now.
- Be careful.

- I'll take you with me.
- You're squeezing me!

You're in good hands.

- Jeannie? Jeannie? Jeannie?
- You're shaking me.

- Tony's in trouble. Help him.
- Be careful, will you?

Put me down.
Over there on top of the desk.

- Now, careful, careful. Easy.
- You just sit right here.

Easy!

Roger, she's gone.
You gotta find her!

Now, look, just take it easy.
Everything's gonna be all right.

What do you mean, "all right"?
Look what she's done.

Hey, maybe Jeannie's
got something there.

If she shrank a hundred astronauts,
we could fit them in a capsule, then-

- Roger!
- Oh, yeah. Okay.

Just relax. I'll go and get Jeannie.

- And hurry!
- Okay, but don't do any walking, huh?

If anybody stepped on you,
you'd really be short.

- Yeah, yeah.
- A little laugh.

Hello. Anybody home?

Major Nelson!

It's Dr. Bellows.

Hide.

Major Nelson.

- Major Healey.
- Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Major Nelson's not here.

Well, that's strange. He asked me
to stop by and pick up a chart.

Why would he do that?

Yeah, well,
he had to leave unexpectedly.

Well, I'll just wait here.

Oh, well, I wouldn't do that, sir.
Who knows when he'll be back.

Well, perhaps you're right. I'll just
phone my office and see if I can-

I wouldn't do that, sir.

On second thought,
he'll probably be right back.

You seem terribly nervous, major.
Do you have a problem?

Well, just a tiny one, sir.
Really nothing worth mentioning.

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

- Don't move! Don't move!
- Don't move. Why?

Why? Well, oh, well,
I lost a crystal to my watch.

- Oh, your crystal?
- I'll tell you what.

Why don't we tiptoe out on the patio
and we'll get a little suntan out there.

I don't want a suntan, major.

Do you know where Major Nelson
left that decompression chart?

Oh, it's upstairs.

It's in his study.
Why don't we go up to the study?

It's probably there.
We'll just tiptoe up there nicely.

- Watch out for the crystal.
- Careful.

Watch it, watch it, watch it.
Watch it. Watch it, now.

That's it. Easy does it.
Up to the study we go.

Watch out, watch out.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

Jeannie. Jeannie!

I'm sure they're here somewhere.

It doesn't matter. He'll tell us
where they are when he returns.

Oh, wait a minute, sir.
We haven't looked in the desk yet.

I don't think we should be going
through Major Nelson's desk, do you?

I think he'd like it that way.

He'd be very upset if he thought you
were walking around the living room.

Well, shouldn't we answer it?
It might be important.

Well, it's probably the wrong number.
Oh, I'll get it, sir.

The telephone.

- Hello.
- Hello, Major Healey.

Oh, boy,
am I glad to hear from you.

I'm having such fun shopping...

...that I decided to spend
the afternoon at the market.

Well, I wouldn't do that
if I were you.

I am sure Major Nelson
would not mind.


- May I speak with him, please?
- Well, he can't reach the phone.


I mean, we can't reach him
to reach the phone.

He's still working.

Was he pleased at what I did?

Well, I don't think
" pleased" is the word.

You see, he's feeling very low.
Feeling very low.



I know why.
He loves to do everything himself.


He never wants me to help him.

Well, I think
you've over-helped him.

If he is very unhappy,
I will come right home now.

Oh, not now!

Major, can we get on with this?

Oh, yes, sir. I will get on-

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Very well, then. I will spend
the whole afternoon at the market.

You will not believe this,
but I have found a -for- sale.

Bye-bye, Major Healey.

Don't go, don't go. Hello? Hello?

She just hung up.

Jeannie!

Jeannie!

Get out of here, you brute.
Back. Back Fang.

Jeannie!
Look out, look out, look out.

You- Look out. Jeannie!

Stay away from me. Stay away.
Back! Back. Back.

I knew they had to be here.
Wait a minute, I'll go first.

- Yes, the crystal.
- The crystal. Tippy-toe.

Well, I'd better be
getting back to the base.

Tell Major Nelson
I have the chart, will you?

He'll be glad you missed him.
I mean, he'll be sorry he missed you.

Yes. Oh, I did want to discuss this
chart with him before I turned it in.

I know, I can go over it with you
in my office.

A good idea. First thing Monday.

No, I meant now, Major Healey.

- I'm afraid I can't do that, sir.
- Major.

General Peterson is waiting for it.

Did you have anything
more important to do?

Major, I asked you, did you have
anything more important to do?

- Well, no, sir. I'll be right there, sir.
- All right.

Oh, what a way to go.

If you're ready, major.

Bye, buddy.

Hey, wait a minute!

Jeannie! Jeannie!

Jeannie, let me off this thing,
will you? Jeannie!

Jeannie, come on, do something.
Turn this thing off, will you?

Lady, would you mind not
pinching the oranges?

But how else can I tell
whether they are ripe?

You buy them,
and then you pinch them.

In Atlantis, we always pinched them.

Look lady, this ain't Georgia.
Please keep your hands off the fruit.

- How much are they?
- Twenty-nine cents a pound.

Twenty-nine cents?
Why, that is robbery.

In Atlantis, the oranges are times
the size and we charge three teklas.

Look, lady, I'm not running
a debating society.

If you're not gonna buy anything,
please, move on.

Oh, no wonder you are
so bad-tempered.

You are ashamed of the poor
merchandise you have to sell.

I will give you something
you can be proud of.

Now, here is a real orange.

You may pinch this if you like.

And I would suggest that you do not
charge more than three teklas for that.

Goodbye.

Jeannie! Oh, no.

Wait! Wait a minute!

Oh, no!

What is it? Hey, help! Help!

Jeannie! Jeannie!

Well, major,
this test is most encouraging.

You spent over seven-and-a-half
hours under stress...

...in the decompression chamber...

...without any adverse
psychological effects.

Well, I'm happy to say
that you're completely normal.

Dr. Bellows. There's something
I've got to tell you.

Yes?

I k*lled my best friend.

- What are you talking about?
- Major Nelson, sir.

You k*lled Major Nelson?

I should've done something...

...but I didn't know there
was a cat in the house.

You didn't know
there was a cat in the house?

- No, sir. I was expecting a tiger.
- A tiger?

We both were.

But the little cat ate him up.

It's hard to believe.

What are we gonna do?

I'll tell you what we're going to do.

We're going to start
your test all over again.

Now, major...

Master. Master, I'm home.

Master, what are you doing
playing with the cat?

- What?
- That's a terrible thing to do.

I told you cats
were dangerous for you.

And so tiny.
You had no business to be-

You're too late, Jeannie.

Too late for what?

Don't you know
what happened to Tony?

Yeah, I know
what happened to Tony.

Tony? Tony?

Oh, I didn't k*ll him!
Oh, I didn't k*ll him!

I didn't k*ll him.
When I saw a cat licking his lips-

Why'd you let him play with the cat?

You had no business
letting him doing that.

Why did Roger let me? What do you
mean why did Roger let me?

- You were the one responsible.
- I should protect you.

Protect? We were in the garage
minding our business...

...when you decided
to shrink that rotor head...

What's that doing up there anyway?

- Master.
- What is it?

I am sorry I made you nervous.

Who, me? No, Jeannie.

You didn't really think
I was scared of that cat, did you?

- You were not?
- Of course not.

Oh, I am glad.

- Take this out to the patio, will you?
- Oh, yes, master.

Thanks.

She really thought
I was scared of that little cat.

Help! Help!

Get back. Oh, hello, Dr. Bellows.

What is it now, major?

What is what now, sir?

Oh, well, I was just playing
with the little cat.

Yes. I came over to bring you the
results of your psychological tests.

Oh, yes, sir.

I'm afraid we'll have
to start the tests all over again.

- Goodbye, major.
- You don't have to leave, sir.

Don't leave me here with-

That's right, back!

Back! Jeannie!
