Try to be real quiet this morning.


Your father worked very late last night.


He needs all the sleep he can get.


Right.


clink clink clink


pop pop pop


Don't we have any quieter cereal?


Sorry, Roy-boy. From now on, I'll boil the corn flakes.


I'll just make sure he's sleeping alright.


Try some of my fantastic pancakes.


Look, there goes Susie.


swoosh


screech


splat


Hey, way to go, Rosie.


I knew making them like leather


would pay off someday.


Wha.. Huh? Aa.. Who?


I just wanted to tell you, you don't have to wake up.


Sleep as long as you like.


And you too, Astro.


He is sleeping so soundly.


[telephone rings]


Hello.


Spacely here. I wanna speak to George.


Oh, dear! Is it really important?


Of course not.


I phone all my employees at seven in the morning


to ask how their family is.


Oh, well, Judy is just fine, just a little sniffle.


But Elroy has a tooth which might have to be--


Just get George on the phone, will ya?


George is out. He really is.


Sure, sure, still in the shower I bet.


Well, tell him I'll be there in five minutes.


I want him to drive me to the jetport.


He better be ready.


We've got five minutes to get your father ready.


[drum roll]


creak


Ah! Aah! No!


George, hush, you'll wake the dog.


Three minutes to go.


George? Anyone in there?


He's gotta be in there somewhere.


Leave it to me, Mrs. Jane. My coffee's a real eye-opener.


Do you really think it'll do it?


It better open his eyes


or else it will blow his ears off.


(Jane) 'You're sure it's strong?'


You can throw these grounds away


only at a hazardous waste dump.


Where am I?


- Home. - Another question.


- Go ahead. - Who am I?


If you don't shape up, you're going to be


the unemployed George Jetson.


Your boss is coming by in two and half minutes to pick you up.


He'll be here in two and a half minutes?


- That's right. - Okay.


So half a minute to get downstairs.


[yawns] It still gives me two minutes to sleep.


Ah, help me get him to the tube.


Thanks, Judy. I can handle him now.


[upbeat music]


Good morning, Mrs. Jetson.


Eh, you want me to walk your dog for you?


It's Mr. Jetson. He knows how to walk.


At least he used to.


Oh, dear. There is Mr. Spacely.


It's George's boss.


Goodbye, dear.


Ha-ha, Mr. Spacely, I've been waiting for you.


- What got into him? - Fear.


I'll be gone for two weeks. They're painting my garage.


Thought I'd leave my new car with you


so it can be looked after.


I'd be happy to. It is a beaut!


And it'd better still be a beaut when I get back.


But that fair is so far away.


I don't like you driving your old car, such a distance.


I know. Let us take dad's car.


If you have to go anywhere, you can use Mr. Spacely.


- But I'm not sure-- - Thanks, mom.


- Come on, Elroy. - Yahoo!


Uh, but drive safely.


- Oh, ma. - I mean it.


Okay, you got it.


I don't even remember saying yes.


Park this in a good safe spot. Will you, Henry?


Ah, kids.


What kind of idiot parent would



let any kids like that drive a car?


Uh, Mr. Jetson? Uh, they're your kids.


Just like children, always running off


and leaving the mess for someone else to clean up.


beep


shoop shoop shoop


Uh, George honey, I have a wonderful idea.


The children just left for the fair.


I know, I saw the blur.


Why don't we go too?


All the games, the rides, the food..


The noise, the clowns, the heartburn.


We could have an old fashioned picnic


the air, the sun, the flowers.


The ants, the bugs, the bees, nope!


Me for a nap.


Aw, honey, come on, do it for me.


I'm taking this nap for you.


I'm a much nicer person when I'm asleep.


Oh, well, I'll do some shopping and return the silverware


I borrowed from Maggie Rocket.


I could use Judy's jalopy.


Try not to disturb Mr. Jetson.


I'll dust around him.


Morning, Henry.


Where's my daughter's car?


Uh, would you give this to Mr. Jetson?


Oh, the key to Mr. Spacely's car.


Hey, I can use that. Where is it?


Right here. But you may not be used to a high performance--


No problem, a car is a car.


swoosh


How do you slow this down?


[automated voice] 'You are far over the speed limit.'


(Jane) 'I know that, what can I do?'


[automated voice] 'You are far over the speed limit.'


Can't you say anything else?


[automated voice] 'Yes, goodbye. I'm bailing out.'


I guess I'd better take it back home.


Oh-ho, that's why it was going so fast.


The cruise control, I'll turn it off.


So, you wanna race, eh, sister?


Well, I'll give you a little taste of turbo.


[revving]


Oh, the shopping mall. Perfect.


Nothing to it. Like I said, a car is a car.


crash


clang


clang clang clang


thud


Aah! That's all it took. A little nap and I'm ready to go.


Terrific.


That was a great idea of yours, sweetheart.


We'll take Spacely's car and go to the fair.


Yes, sir, we're going to have a rear bang up day.


It certainly started out that way.


It will be fun, the games, the rides, the food.


The noise, the crowds, the heartburn.


We'll have a picnic the air, the sun, the flowers.


The ants, the bugs, the bees.


Why don't you take a little nap instead?


Say, for a couple of weeks?


Don't rub it in.


Come on, Henry Orbit has Spacely's car key.


No, uh, I have it. I used the car to go shopping.


Let's go. We'll just throw this in the back seat.


(Jane) 'You can't. The back seat's full.'


Full of what?


The front seat.


You don't look so good, honey.


Come on, you could use some fresh air.


- George, the car's not here. - Where'd you leave it?


In the Midway Shopping Centre.


I left it between the entrance and Kiddieland.


But that's five blocks.


I know, I left a little on each block.


Jane, this key won't fit in any car.


It fits his.


No. It couldn't be. Please don't tell me.


I'm trying not to.


Well, if it's just a little scratch..


...we can take care of that.


It's not as though it was a total wreck.


It is a total wreck.


I'm sure that wasn't her fault.


But what do I tell Spacely?


One minute his car is brand new, the next minute it's a wreck.


- How do I explain that? - Depreciation?


Look, maybe it's not as bad as it sounds, Mr. J.


Go look at it.


It's at the Far-Out Fix-It Garage.


We'll have to take Judy's jalopy.


I loaned her our car.


You wrecked Spacely's car and Judy's driving ours?


Oh, I knew this was a day I should've stayed in bed.


[engine sputtering]


Ah, license - - - -A-J.


First, you need your frame straightened


your jets realigned, your body, uh--


Oh, we're not here about this car.



Oh, Mrs. Jetson, hah, keep bringing 'em in


and I'll make you a partner.


My husband wants to know how bad that other car really is.


Well, I'll tell you the truth. Well, I've been in this business


all my life and I've only seen one other wreck that was worse.


But you have seen one worse.


Yeah, you're driving it. Ha-ha-ha.


Come take a look.


- That is some wreck. - But it can be fixed.


Well, you gonna need a new front end.


That's the rear end.


It is? And the front seat's in the back?


Would you believe it? There's only one part in the whole car


that wasn't damaged. The steering rod.


Bingo.


But it all can be repaired?


Our slogan is we can fix anything.


Then you'll do it? Well?


I don't know, might be easier to get a new slogan.


(Jane) 'Please.'


Well, okay.


I'm just an old softie.


[telephone rings]


Fix It. Yeah, she's here.


'It's for you, Mrs. Jetson.'


- Hello. Oh, no. Oh, no! - What's the matter?


- Oh, no! - Come on, it can't be that bad.


It's Rosie. Mr. Spacely just called from the jetport.


He decided not to take the trip.


It can be that bad!


Rosie's supposed to call him back.


He wants you to pick him up in five minutes, in his car.


Well, Jane, it's been a nice life up to now.


Except for maybe the last minutes.


Now, George, relax.


- Be sensible. - I'm being totally sensible.


I've examined the situation, and there is only one


mature reasonable thing to do. k*ll myself.


It'll work out. I'll think of something for Rosie to tell him.


(George) 'Like what?'


I don't know. But I'll think of something. Just go away.


Well, tell him, uh, let's see.. Tell him his car was stolen.


- Stolen? - That's right, stolen.


Okay, stolen.


- Stolen? - That's right, stolen.


- Stolen? - That's right, stolen.


Would you describe the alleged vehicle?


All taken care of. No problem.


Hey, great! You got two weeks to do it and money is no object.


- Whatever it takes. - I'll get right on it.


What do you mean, money is no object?


Knowing how Spacely loves his car


he's got to be totally insured.


Oh, I almost forgot, this was in the car.


Oh, good. It's silverware.


Ah, then that explains it.


First time, I ever found a salad fork in the ignition.


(George) 'See you in two weeks.'


Gladys honey, Pete.


Say, it looks like we'll be able to afford


sending all our three kids through medical school


after all. I'll call you later.


I got a hot number here.


A car, a car.


Police, that stolen car you just flashed, I've got it here.


Far-Out Fix-It Garage.


The two crooks just left in an old jalopy.


Whole license number, I also got.


It is.. .


Calling space cycle , apprehend car in your area.


License .


Roger, I'll find 'em.


Come on, let me in on your secret.


What did you tell Spacely to get him off our back?


I just need not tell you.


You never give me credit for thinking out things.


I gotta take it all back. You're a super thinker.


- Now, what'd you tell him? - You'll never guess.


Then again, maybe you will.


(George) 'Hey, a cop, he's probably after someone else.'


I'll get out of his way.


[siren wailing]


This car is terrible. You see all the smoke it made?


Wasn't it wonderful? Do it again.


You won't tell me what you told to Spacely?


(Jane) 'I'll consider it.'


- Thanks, Henry. - You're welcome.


But the name's not Henry.


Now, if you get back in the, uh, whatever


and follow me to the station.


And what's the charge?


You have allegedly stolen an alleged vehicle.


Ah, then you say the car was not stolen?


Of course not, we borrowed it


From his boss.


And the car you were picked up in


that's not registered to you either?


- I know, we borrowed it. - From our daughter.


Awful lot of borrowing going on, isn't there?


Would you empty your purse and pockets, please?



Oh, this is ridiculous.


You have absolutely no evidence we've stolen anything.


You're going to look mighty silly, trying to prove..


(male # ) 'Ah, borrowed?'


Ah-ha.


Tell the warden, I'd take a size eight striped suit.


Why isn't Jetson here?


Uh, probably out looking for your car, sir.


And if they don't find it, I-I'm sure the police will.


I hope so. I gave 'em a complete description.


You mean you told the cops?


beep beep


Of course! Phone the station!


See if they've found anything.


'Right.'


Auto theft, please.


Oh, the police are wonderful, sir.


About Mr. Spacely's car.


Yes, I'll wait.


Oh, they specialize in the impossible.


Huh? What?


You caught the thieves!


That's impossible!


(Spacely) 'Oh, goody!'


They want to make sure it wasn't borrowed, but was really stolen.


beep beep


Tell them it was stolen.


Unequivocally, positively, categorically, unreservedly


and indisputably.


He says maybe.


Good work.


I'll get my lawyer and be right down.


What?


No, I'm not missing any candlesticks.


I'll be going.


beep beep


Ah, the Jetsons.


Good thing you showed up.


I'll need witnesses.


Oh, uh, this is my lawyer, Mr. Slick.


Now, where are the lowlifes who stole my car?


You've just been talking to 'em.


I tried to tell 'em you loaned me the car.


But they thought you were a crook.


[laughs]


[all laughing]


Well, there's no case?


If you'll just sign this release.


Okay, okay. Where is the car?


At the garage. Uh, right here.


At a garage?


Here, on the dotted line.


It's the garage.


He wants to know if we found the owner.


Something about a bill.


A dollar and a half, and he's worried.


Just a quick signature.


Spacely here.


Yes, I'll pay the bill.


I want you to bring the car here right away.


All of it?


Of course I want all of it.


Dumb mechanic.


(Mr. Slick) 'Let's sue him for stupidity.'


If you want me to deliver it, it'll take time.


I got to first find about boxes.


What do you need boxes for?


I'll write you from Saturn.


(Mr. Spacely) 'The back seat is where?'


'Three trips?'


'A salad fork in the what?'


'What?'


Jetson!


Where did he go?


Any vacancies?


I need to get away from things for a couple years.


(Mr. Spacely) 'Jetson!'


swoosh


(George) Yeah, number seven goes tonight.


Didn't I hear that in some old movie?


Alright. I know. I'm fired.


No, you're not.


I'm not?


You're not getting off that easy!


Before I sign your release


you're gonna sign a work contract for me.


(George) 'A work contract?'


(Spacely) 'Put this in legal language.'


Okay. You will work for me at half pay.


No vacations, unpaid overtime, and no corner office.


[speaking gibberish]


You will bring me coffee, shine my shoes


and light my cigars.


[speaking gibberish]


Plus, uh, anything else I can think of.


[speaking gibberish]


That's asking too much.


Up to you.


Sign it, or go to jail.


Yes, and it won't be one of those



country club jails full of politicians either.


Okay. I'll sign.


Right here, and here, and here


'and over there, initial here.'


'Sign here, and here, and there.'


I'm really doing you a favor.


Teaching you responsibility.


Now, hop over to the office and get started!


What's all this?


Your bill.


I am so sorry, George.


Yeah, it really hasn't been our day.


beep beep


Oops! The master calls.


swoosh


[instrumental music]


You know what the worst part of all this is?


Well, outside of getting half pay, no vacations


working nights, waiting on Spacely hand and foot.


The worst part is that after constantly


telling Judy to drive carefully


I go and have an accident.


That's the worst part?


(Mr. Spacely) 'Ridiculous!'


'Get out of here!'


Hey, I thought you'd want to know


your brakes weren't working.


Then the accident wasn't my fault?


That's right.


You really ought to sue this, bum.


Sue? Did some one say, Sue?


Oh, that's the magic word.


Hey, you're my lawyer.


I won't need a lawyer.


Everyone needs a lawyer.


What do you think we have laws for?


I'll just have him sign one of these for me.


But that would mean..


...I'd be waiting on you.


Sorry, old chap.


But..


Ha-ha-ha.


And those are the brakes.


Another cup, my dear?


ding ding ding


Try to be more pleasant, Spacely.


'I'm really doing you a favor.'


'Teaching you responsibility.'


You know what I like best about all this?


Well, the corner office, my pay raise, the long vacations.


- 'My clear conscience.' - Huh?


Now, I can nag Judy all I want about her driving safely.


[laughs]
