(boy # ) Hey, Astro. Here it is.


All the news that's fit to record. Go for it.


twang


I hope Astro has my usual morning paper.


Oh, thanks, Astro. You're up early, aren't you?


- Relp! - Astro.


With a dog like him I don't need


any more excitement in my life.


I gotcha, Astro.


Reorge?


[thud]


You're a million laughs, Astro.


[chuckling]


[beep]


Thank you, Rosie. Elroy, breakfast.


And I'll have some pancakes.


[beep]


And some bacon and eggs.


Some more coffee, please.


Just a half a cup.


No sugar. I want to stay in shape.


Mr. J., you always stay in shape.


- Well, thank you. - Pear shape.


Morning, everybody.


(all) Morning, Judy.


- Elroy. - 'Be right there.'


[beeping]


- Elroy. - I'm on my way.


You are now.


[beeping]


What was keeping him?


Just the usual morning sickness.


I don't know how he gets any sleep


with these posters always going.


At least he keeps the sound off.


[instrumental music]


Now, when I was a kid..


[beeping]


Morning, son. This way to the real world.


Oh! But I'm pooped, pop.


I was up late making up a Mother's Day poem.


Mother's Day?


You know, w-when you remember your mother.


It's tomorrow. Now, just a sec. I'll show you.


[clears throat] "Mother, dear mother You're sweet, that's true


'It makes me feel good When I think about you."'


Very nice.


Come on, that calls for double pancakes all around.


[rattling]


[instrumental music]


Shakespeare had a late night.


He was writing a poem for Mother's Day tomorrow.


Oh, that's sweet.


But, George, I don't want any presents from you.


I mean it. Let's be sensible.


- Okay. - You're a witness, Rosie.


He agreed. No presents.


Why don't you go to the travel office


and find a nice place to go?


Good idea. Wanna go with me, Judy?


I can't, mom. Have to go rehearse for the cheerleading.


Galaxy, Galaxy, go, go, go.


"Mother, dear mother You're real sweet, that's true


[sniffling] It makes me feel good When I think about you"


[sobbing]


[explodes]


Oh, my gosh. She must've blown a fuse.


I'll reset her circuit breaker.


Holy moly, what happened?


Oh, just a fuse. Nothing to worry about.


There's a lot of it going around.


- Come into town with me, Rosie. - Deal.


There was water on her face.


Haven't I told you guys that taking baths


may be dangerous to your health?


They were tears. She'd been crying.


Is the pay here that bad?


She'd been reading what you wrote.


Is the poem that bad?


Know what I think? I think Rosie's sad.


She feels left out of Mother's Day


because she has no recollections.


- Gee. - No picture of her mother.


Well, she's gonna have one.


Ah! Here's her warranty. It lists her serial number.


I'm going to the robot factory


and take a picture of the previous model.


That'll be her mother.


She came with only a -day warranty.


Not much, was it?


It's more than we got with you.


[instrumental music]


We'll just take our time and look around.



Yessiree, Bob, you've come to the right place, friend.


Yeah, well, what I'm looking for--


Is a nice robot dog for your son here.


The new electrified Electra Fidos.


[beeping]


There he is, the Bionic Bowser.


- Actually, what we, uh-- - 'He does everything.'


U-uh, fetch the paper.


[barking]


Or, if the paper is late, uh, he'll fetch the newsboy.


Actually, I'm looking for--


And he does great tricks. Watch this.


Roll over, Bowser.


[barking]


Hey, neat.


And he comes with guard dog VF.


That's variable ferocity.


He can be gentle, moderate..


'...light scary, heavy scary'


'and mailman.'


[barking]


[beeping]


Let me explain.


I've got the housekeeper robot, model XB- .


Yes, uh, I remember it.


Uh, didn't sell well. Too emotional.


I wanna locate the older model which preceded it.


- The XB- . - That's, uh, quite an antique.


I'll check it out and phone you.


Thanks. Here's my card.


I, uh, like your dog, but we already have one.


- A real live one. - Oh, how primitive.


(Elroy) Think he'll be able to find Rosie's mom for us?


I sure hope so, son. I need to take a picture of her.


Problem is, I've gotta do it today.


Look. Genuine, artificial, imitation synthetic.


Oh, wouldn't I love George to get me that for Mother's Day.


But, Mrs. J., you made him promise


he wouldn't get you anything.


- I did? - You said, "Let's be sensible."


- I didn't. - You did.


Ah! Good morning, ladies. Going on a trip?


If you'll step into our scenic simulator


I'll demonstrate some of our travel bargains.


Now, visit the romantic canals of Mars.


This is nice.


I could get a lot of wear with that stole.


Uh, and it's ski season on the mountains of Venus.


It really would be practical.


Very, very practical.


A-and there's a dude ranch on Uranus.


[instrumental music]


[neighing]


boing


thud


And for a stole of that quality, it's really not expensive.


If you prefer water sports


nothing beats the Sea of Tranquility.


And it'll go with everything I have.


Oh, this seems like a nice place to visit. Where is it?


You're back in the store, lady.


[groans]


(Jane) 'Oh.'


Somehow, I've got to drop a hint to George about this.


It really would be so much help to him.


What?


[beeping]


Uh, Mr. Jetson, about that old robot you were looking for.


- Do you have one? - Yes.


But we threw it out in the trash


just this morning.


In the trash?


But it's probably still at the dump


if you get there quickly enough.


- Yeah, thanks. - 'One more thing.'


If you change your mind about having a robot dog..


...y-you can buy one cheap.


Mr. Spacely, could I have an hour off?


I have to do something for Mother's Day.


Every year, the same excuse.


We never get any work done around here.


And it's terrible the way they've turned


a beautiful thing like motherhood


into something so commercial.


- You're right. - W-which gives me an idea.


Don't give your mother a locket. Give her a Spacely Sprocket.


Okay, Jetson, get Charlie to take over.


Hi, Mr. Spacely. Is George here?


Yeah, but he's about to leave.


Uh, said he had to pick up something for Mother's Day.


He said that? Uh, Mr. Spacely, a favor.


Don't let on I said so, but tell him the greatest present


in the whole universe is that black stole


'by the Travel counter at Spacy's.'


It's a black stole by the Travel counter.


Thanks, but Jane's all set.


Oh, w-well, stop there and buy it for me.


I forgot to get my wife anything.


Charge it and drop it off in my apartment. Here's the key.


U-uh just who are you getting something for?



- Rosie. - Oh, you sly devil.


Rosie, huh? She must be something.


She is. Warm, gentle, understanding.


- You-you see her often? - Every night.


[Spacely giggles]


- W-what does she look like? - 'She's about feet high.'


- Yeah, yeah. - Weighs about pounds.


Huh? And she turns you on?


No. I turn her on.


Look, Mrs. J., there's Mr. J.


(Jane) 'Let's see where he's going.'


[rattling]


[instrumental music]


(Jane) 'Oh! He bought it.'


(Rosie) 'But you distinctly said no presents.'


Mr. Jetson is too intelligent not to know


what I said only to say it.


Say what?


Sometimes a wife has to tell her husband things


she doesn't mean because he likes to hear them.


Even though he knows she knows he knows she didn't mean it.


- Did you hear what I said? - I heard it.


But my computer refuses to compute it.


[laughing] Don't worry about it.


All rules are off for Mother's Day.


What is it?


This is George Jetson, Mr. Spacely.


- I'm at your apartment. - I can see that.


I got the stole you wanted for your wife.


'I can see that.'


Uh, I'd like the rest of the day off.


I can't see that.


- It's very important. - What can be so im..


Whoops. I forgot.


You're after something for Rosie.


'That's right.'


Where are you going, that posh Jupiter Jewelry store?


No. The garbage dump.


The garbage dump?


[instrumental music]


Uh, excuse me, a salesman at Robot City told me--


Oh, yo-you want Robot City?


Uh, go out that way and drive slowly.


Oh! You again? How was your trip?


I never went.


When I said drive slow, I-I didn't mean that slow.


Where you wanna go now?


I don't wanna go anywhere. I wanna be here.


Well, that's where you are.


Please, I need your help. I'm trying to find a robot.


What.. what.. who.. A-a robot?


- When did you lose it? - I didn't lose it.


That's gonna make it tough.


It was dumped here.


Oh, then it's probably back by the crushing machine.


(George) That's her, no question. Oh, poor thing.


Here are her blueprints, uh, but they won't be much help.


I only want a nice picture of her face.


I'll lift off the top panel. It'll give you more light.


Uh, let's see, uh..


My mother told me to pull this one.


(George) 'Stop it. Stop it. Wrong one.'


Hm! So it was.


'I know you won't believe this'


but I've never worked this gadget before.


- I believe, I believe. - What's this all about, anyway?


It was gonna be a very special Mother's Day present.


Oh, you want something for your mother.


Well, now, why don't you look around?


We got lots of good stuff.


The blueprints.


Yes, yes. It's got all the dimensions.


I can make a picture from this.


Sure she wouldn't rather have a nice umbrella?


- Makes a good cane. - This'll be just fine.


Mother's Day at our house tomorrow morning..


...is gonna be the very best ever.


(Jane) 'Oh, Judy, the plant is adorable. Thank you.'


And, Elroy, your poem was so sweet.


Didn't you think so, Rosie?


Why ask me? I'll get breakfast started.


A nice poem and a plant, what more could anyone ask?


- Ta-da! - Now, George.


I made it very clear you were not to get me a present.


- But since-- - I didn't.


- You didn't? - I wouldn't break a promise.


- You wouldn't? - It's not for you.


Not for me?


My, that stole looks scrumptious.


It's for Rosie.


Stole? Stole? What's all this about a stole?


Oh, uh, it's-it's nothing, George.


Absolutely nothing. I-I think I'll lie down for a bit.


Um, all the excitement.


Rosie! Rosie!


You will not get one word out of me. Not one word.


Then it's back to Robot City.


As I was saying, your wife saw you buying


a stole at Spacy's, and she had her heart--


Oh, I'm the biggest idiot in the universe.



Well, maybe not the very biggest.


Oh, that poor dear.


When she said no presents, I should've realized she--


Said what she said only to say it.


Exactly. Oh, I'm such a dummy.


Sometimes a wife has to tell her husband things.


Even though he knows she knows he knows she knows.


Exactly. You make a lot of sense, Rosie.


Not to me.


I gotta make it up to her.


I know. She'll have that stole.


It's early. Spacely won't be up yet.


I'll go over to his place and get it.


In your pajamas? Well, why not?


He acts like a mental patient, he might as well dress like one.


[instrumental music]


[shatters]


What idiot would be phoning me this time of the morning?


Uh, good morning, Mr. Spacely.


That idiot. It figures.


Sorry to bother you, but this is a matter of life and death.


I wanna buy that stole from you to give to my wife.


Ridiculous.


Now hang up and go back to--


Please, Mr. Spacely.


What's with these phones? It grabbed me.


It's you.


- You're here. - I'll pay double for it.


A thousand dollars.


Anything to mend the broken heart


of my life's true companion.


No. Get out of my apartment, Jetson.


And my life. And my visa-phone.


Morning, Mr. Jetson.


[chuckles] Pajamas?


You're just getting home?


Henry, are there any divorce lawyers in our building?


I don't think so, but, uh, we got a whole lot of doctors.


I'll probably need them too.


[sighs] I hope she's not too violent.


Not that I'd blame her. She must hate me so.


There you are, you dear, dear, dear, wonderful man.


- I must be in the wrong-- - Silly.


You're in the right place. The very right place.


And in my heart forever.


I'll have to not give you presents more often.


I was so selfish.


Then when I saw what you did for Rosie..


Rosie just loves it, dad.


She really flipped.


- Rhat's right. - Rosie.


Oh, Mr. J., thank you, thank you.


It's the nicest thing that ever happened to me.


[Rosie sighs]


It made me realize having a sweet husband


and two dear children is all a mother could ask for.


I mean it when I say no presents.


No more material presents on this day ever.


I'll get it.


Uh, good morning, Elroy.


Morning, Mrs. Spacely. Come on in.


Cosmo thought over what you said, Mr. Jetson.


How much Jane means to you. He can't be selfish.


Cosmo wants you to have it. Don't you, Cosmo?


Thanks, but such things are no longer important to her..


...so you can take the stole--


Stole?


Just look what your darling father gave me for Mother's Day.


'I knew he'd remember.'


To help you remember, I'll be taking that bucks


out of your paycheck the rest of the year.


At least this shows you've given up Rosie.


Give up Rosie, our fantastic robot maid?


You're kidding, right?


You mean Rosie, your robot maid? Oh, now I get it.


Oh, Jetson, I'm sorry what I was thinking.


I should've known that you'd play it straight.


Rosie, will you bring some coffee?


Look, I still get the vacation, don't I?


Okay, you got it, Jetson.


- 'Cosmo?' - Yes, dear?


(Mrs. Spacely) 'There's the little matter of my present.'


O-oh, coming, dear.


Oh, it's a great day, isn't it?


Absolutely.


Galaxy, Galaxy, go, go, go.


(all) Yay, Rosie.


Ra! Ra! Ra!
