02x14 - Judy Takes Off

Post by bunniefuu »

(Judy) 'Hold on to
your rocket, Steffi.'

Here's the latest scoop.

I'm going out with
Scotty Sky Master tonight.

Scotty Sky Master?

[gasping] He's only
the spaciest boy in school.

Judy, will you get off
the vis-a-phone?

You're clogging up
the air waves.

Daddy, this is
a vey important call.

Scotty just bought
a brand new Cosmic Cruiser.

and we're gonna go
star-hopping tonight.

Supersonic!

Hmpf. I didn't wanna do it,
but it's gotta be done.

[mumbling]

Ha ha. Over and out!

George, is that any way
to treat your daughter?

It was either that or pull
the vis-a-phone outta the wall.

[phone ringing]

Not another one!

I'm sorry, buddy, but Judy can't
come to the phone right now.

Besides, you look too old and
tired for my daughter, anyway.

Ahem. I'm Mr. Dymaxian.

Head of the
Chamber of Cosmic Commerce.

And I don't wanna
talk to your daughter.

I want to talk to your wife.

Um, um, did I forget to pay
my Zoomingdale's bill?

[laughing]
No, Mrs. Jetson.

That's not why
I'm calling you at all.

The nominations for the
Outstanding Woman of the Year

have been narrowed down
to two finalists.

And I'm proud to announce
that you, Jane Jetson

have been selected
by our distinguished committee

of judges as one of them.

Oh! Oh, my galaxies!
I can't believe it!

Jane Jetson?
Outstanding Woman of the Year?

I can see Jetson's
mealy-mouthed grin right now.

Yuck!

Why? With me as
the other finalist

the poor dear
doesn't stand a chance!

I never leave
anything to chance.

whack

If you do, it may
come back and haunt you.

Where in the universe is Judy?

I told her
to be home before midnight.

That's right, Reorge.

According to my calculations

there is a 99.9%
probability factor

that Miss Judy is A-okay.

That's right, George.

She's just out
having a good time.

- A good time?
- Of course.

Don't you remember
when you were a teenager

out cruising
with your sweetheart?

Hmm. I remember, alright!

I'll vaporize that kid

if he doesn't
bring her back this minute!

[whistles]

[mumbling]

So the princess returns.

[giggling]

Gee. Has everybody been
waiting up for little old me?

Wipe that grin
off your face, young lady?

You've got some
heavy explaining to do.

Yeah!

No problem, daddy.

Scotty and I were
at the solar submarine races

on the rings of Saturn.

Oh!

On the way back we ran out of
fuel and we had to find

a Trilivian
Crystal sub-station

that was open in that
part of the galaxy.

You expect me to believe that?

Yeah! You expect us
to berieve that?

[gulps]
Rorry, Reorge.

Judy, your mother
and I were discussing it

and perhaps I have been
an overprotective parent.

Way over!

Uh, yes,
so as I was saying to her

maybe Judy would enjoy
a couple of weeks away from us.

Would she ever?

(George)
'Maybe with another lovely girl
close to her own age.'

Any age.

Well, I've been looking
through the family album

and found just the girl
you'd enjoy your visit with.

'Your cousin, Melissa.'

Ugh! I'd rather work in the
solarium salt mines on Jupiter

than waste my time with that
intergalactic wallflower.

(Petunia)
'Mr. Dymaxian told me
Jane Jetson was nominated'

because she fits the judges'
idea of the perfect homemaker.

She's not that perfect.

After all she picked
Jetson as her husband.

If she wins,
who can I look down on?

The coward, he moved!

There must be something
they're hiding.

And once their reputation
is ruined

you'll be a shoo-in
for the award.

Well, I'd certainly
like to win.

But we just can't go
spying on them, can we?

Of course not.
I'm an honorable man.

Somebody else
is gonna do that!

Detective Lenny Laser
at your service.

What's your pleasure today?
Prying? Spying? Lying?

Nothing's too sneaky for me.
He he he.

Ooh, I love it.

Now, here's what
I want you to do.

Someday you're gonna
thank me for this.

- I doubt it.
- Greetings, ancestors.

- Uh, who-who-who are you?
- Uncle George, Aunt Jane.

Don't you recognize me?
I'm Melissa.

Melissa
from the family album?

Leaping laser glass!
You sure look different.

Well, what are we
waiting for, Melissa?

Take me to your leader.

Just a micro-second.
What's your hurry?

I don't wanna
waste anymore time, daddy.

Melissa and I have
a lot of catching up to do.

Uh, I-I've been thinking, Judy.

Maybe you'd have
better time at home.

What gives, dad?
Are you having second thoughts?

Yeah. And third and fourth
and fifth thoughts, too.

George, you can't
go back on your word now.

After all, daddy,
it was your idea.

Well, I, uh, um..

Oh, George, relax.
It'll be fine.

Well, okay. But at least let me
give you a lift to Melissa's.

No problem, Uncle G.

I've got my bike
parked right outside.

- Bike?
- See, George.

Melissa is still
a bit old-fashioned.

[engine revving]

Hurling rockets!

'A supersonic
jet booster scooter.'

Boy, is Judy lucky!

You call that lucky?

Look at it
on the bright side, George.

Judy is only
going away for two weeks.

How much trouble
can she get into?

[engine revs]

- None if I can stop her.
- No, you don't.

You leave her alone.
I want your promise.

- Well..
- Promise!

(George)
'Well...okay.'

So, Judy, what do you think
of the Crabby Nebulas?

Oh, your friends
certainly are moonique.

Ha ha ha. Yeah.
And we're different, too.

[grunting]

Hey, hey, hey, hey!
How's my biggest booster buddy?

- Simply stellar, Maxi.
- That's your boyfriend?

Mwah! So, cousin Judy,
you're kinda cute.

It runs in the family.

Well, snooty Judy's
got lots of spunky spunk.

Uber-duber! Judy's
new friends sure look rough.

But nothing's gonna stop me

from looking after
my little girl.

Sheesh! Detective work
is definitely a dirty business.

Come on, Judy. Hop on
for the ride of your life.

Uh, maybe I'll watch.

Come on, snooty Judy.
It's time to bust this roost.

Ha ha ha ha.

Totally atomic.

Let's z-o-o-m!

[gasps]
My little girl!

I better not let her
out of my sight.

(Lenny Laser)
'Ooh, very, very interesting.'

Mr. Spacely will be
anxious to hear about this.

Wh-o-ah!

Sorry, buddy,
but I'm in a real hurry.

This job isn't only dirty,
it's dangerous.

(Maxi)
Make way for the Crabby Nebulas.

- Whoopee!
- Whee!

Lots of fun, eh, Judy?

Y-yeah.
It's outta this world.

He he he. This is so
sneaky, so dishonest.

So brilliant.

Uber-duber. I gotta catch up
with those speedy space-agers.

Yeow!

(Maxi)
'Up, up and away!'

He he he. I could get
an atomic award for this film.

(Melissa)
'Blip blop hip hop.'

D-do you think we'll
ever see land, again?

Gee. I don't know.

Mad Max wants to boost
up here for ever.

Forever?

Listen up, kid.
Just go with the flow.

Woah!

Sheesh! I can
hardly see a thing.

[cawing]

Whoa! Those swallows must be
going to the planet Capistrano

early this year.

(Maxi)
'Move out of the way,
space hog.'

And watch where you're going.

I know where I'm going. Down.

'Anybody? I'm home.'

[gasps]
George, what happened?

Nothing. Nothing.

You look like you fell
into an open mattress.

Let's just say I can
lick my weight in swallows.

Well, you look terrible.

I better call
the pair of medics.

Really, Jane. I'm fine.
I never felt better in my life.

boing

Oh, who am I kidding?

(Petunia)
'Why did he pick a dimly-lit
street corner at midnight?'

The-they all do.

D-don't worry, Petunia.
Y-you're safe with me.

- Uh, where is he?
- Right here.

[screams]

Detective Laser,
did you find out anything?

Yeah. There's a crazy man on
my tail and he's out to get me.

We don't care
about any crazy man.

All we care about
is Jane Jetson.

I'm not sure I want
to hear anything

against Jane Jetson, Cosmo.

Well, I spotted
her daughter, Judy

with a wild g*ng
of booster scooters.

Who am I supposed to tell?

Oh, me, me.
You tell me.

It's not that
I enjoy slinging mud.

No, but I'm sure gonna love
seeing Jetson sinking in it.

[laughing]

(Maxi)
'Zoomer-boomer.'

'This looks like a great place'

'for a little game
of space chicken.'

Uh, can I sit this one out?

Oh, don't be such
a cube, Judy. You'll love it.

vroom

(Maxi)
Get ready, get set.

(all)
Blast off!

Here I go again.

(Mad Max)
Heh heh. This is what I call
life in the fast lane.

(Judy)
This is what I call, crazy!

The sooner I get
more evidence

the sooner I can
quit this caper.

Who-a-ah!

- Turbo!
- Jupiter!.

Yeow! Look at that booster go.

Who is that guy?

I don't know, but whoever
he is, he's a real Space Ace.

Boy, he sure is something.

Yeah. Something
I'd like to get rid of.

[rock and roll music]

Rock and roll.
Go go go.

This music really moves.

Einstein, what are you doing?

Haven't you ever
heard of breakdancing?

You look hungry, kid.
Have some dinner.

You call this dinner?
Yuck! I call this space junk.

What's the matter?
Aren't you having a good time?

I've had better.

Well, stick with me
and we'll go places.

- Just the two of us.
- And cousin Melissa.

- You plan on forgetting her?
- I already have.

So think about it, kid.
I'll be back.

I've already made up my mind.
The answer is no.

- Unh!
- Space Ace.

- Am I glad you dropped in?
- Huh? Who's Space Ace?

(Judy)
'You are. That's what all
the kids are calling you.'

- Oh?
- Don't be so modest.

You were great today. I've never
seen anyone fly like you before.

Ah, oh, it's nothing.

Say, why don't you take off
your helmet and join the party?

Uh...no.

You're not into it,
either, huh?

I know what you mean. I'd
like to get outta here myself.

Oh! Well, then why
don't you go back home?

Home? How could I go home
even if I wanted to?

Easy. Just call your father.

My father? No way!

I'd be humiliated
if I gave up now.

Look who's here...Mr. Hotshot.

That is Space Ace to you.

Uh, no, that's alright. He can
call me whatever he wants to.

Well, I'm calling you
a party crasher!

And I don't like party crashers!

Get my drift?

Ha ha ha. Uh, uh,
nice meeting you, fellas!

But I've gotta run now.
It's, uh, getting kind of late.

Wait! You can't leave now.

Hey, what's goin' on here?
You trying to steal my girl?

I'm not your girl.

Listen, you Sunday astronaut.
You want her?

You're gonna have
to fight for her.


Hey, Maxi.

Why don't you battle it out
with this Space Ace

at the Demolition
Destructo Derby tomorrow?

- 'Are you outta your mind?'
- Yeah. You outta your mind?

I've won it
for four years in a row.

Only one guy can survive
the race and that guy is me.

I'm with you, Maxi.
Go out and do it!

And this time after I win,
Judy, here will be my reward.

I don't wanna be your anything!

Uh, uh, you mean, if I win,
I get to take Judy?

Eh! That's fine with me, chump.
Winner takes all.

I know you can do it,
Space Ace. Mwah.

Well, that makes one of us.

Jetson is late!

buzz

Jetson is late!

buzz

Where is that lazy,
good-for-nothing?

Doesn't he get
enough sleep at work?

I'm sorry, Mr. Spacely,
but I was up late last night

dealing with
a family problem.

The only problem
with your family

is that you're the head of it.

Now, get to work.

You know, Jetson
is acting nuttier than usual.

And I don't think this is
his lunch bucket, either.

Wouldn't it be delicious if he's
a part of that reckless g*ng?

That helmet? It's him, alright.

George Jetson is Space Ace.

Oh, Jetson
is a menace to society.

Who cares about that?
The man's a menace to me.

I know all
about him firsthand.

(Petunia)
'Good work, Detective Laser.
What's next on the agenda?'

Well, unfortunately

I'm on my way to the
Demolition Destructo Derby.

George is one
of the contestants.

Bring us a video of that

and we'll have
all the evidence we need.

[laughing nervously]
Sure thing, Mr. Spacely.

Then, I can take
a nice, long rest..

...in the emergency ward.

How come you're havin' all the
fun, dad, smashing those cars?

Elroy, not a word about the
Destructo Derby to your mother.

- I don't want her to worry.
- Sure, dad.

- 'I've been sworn to secrecy.'
- George, where are you going?

Uh, well, sweetheart

uh, I'm going to see
how Judy's doing.

Maybe I'll run over
to the other constellation

and get her to come home early.

Do you really think
it's necessary?

I do. Wish me luck.
I'll need it.

Why do you say that?

(male announcer)
'Welcome to the
Demolition Destructo Derby.'

Fasten your seatbelts.

So, you're gonna
be Maxi's prize?

I don't want him.
You can keep him.

- I don't want him, either.
- You don't?

No. I've had it
with this scene, Judy.

The Crabby Nebulas
are too warped out!

Why don't you just leave?

Are you kidding? No one
gets away from Mad Maxi.

- Everyone's always watching.
- Well, I'm not worried.

Space Ace will win the race
and I'll get out of here

and you can come with me.

Space Ace is a loser, Judy.

Einstein and Pinhead
are both in the race

and they'll crunch him.

You mean, they'll
all be in the race?

(Melissa)
'That's right!
Everyone of them.'

Too bad for Space Ace,
but it might be good for us.

(male announcer)
'Some of the greatest names
in destruction driving'

'are here tonight, folks.'

'And joining us
for the very first time'

'is the mystery man
of the derby, Space Ace'

'in his incredible
chiseling chassis chopper.'

Rhat's Reorge!

Quiet, Astro.
We're sworn to secrecy.

(male announcer)
'They're off.'

What are you watching, Elroy?

Oh, uh, just an old,
re-run of Star Fight, mom.

Hi, everybody. I'm back.

Judy, I'm so glad your father
brought you home safely.

What are you
talking about, mom?

Your father said
he was gonna check up on you.

And if you didn't see him
then where is he?

I'll show you.

- Shh.
- Rhat's him.

Space Ace!
That's daddy?

(George )
Whoa!

(Mad Max)
Take that, you galactic goon.

What a way to make a living.

[all laughing]

I hope some day..

...Judy will appreciate
what I'm doing for her. Unh!

And I hope I'm around..

...to appreciate
her appreciation. Unh!

George, what in the world
are you doing

in a Destruction Derby?

I'm getting bashed and smashed!

What does it look
like I'm doing?

Anyway, you're not
supposed to know about it.

Well, I do.
George, Judy is not there.

She's here at home.

- Home?
- Having fun, Space Ace?

- Ha ha ha.
- No, I'm getting outta here.

Uh, uh, uh, I'll talk
to you later, dear.

[screeching]

[all laughing]

Ugh! Hey, what're you doing?
I'm not in the race anymore.

(Maxi)
Oh, yes, you are
till the finish.

I gotta get outta here or I'll
be flat as a Plutonian pancake.

thud

And here comes
the winner, Space Ace!

George, are you alright?

Well, I think
I'm still in one piece.

If I could only get
this helmet off.

Let me help you, daddy.

You sure went through
an awful lot of trouble for me.

Well, I'm sorry
I spied on you, Judy.

I'm glad you
cared enough to, dad.

You were terrific, dad.

Wait till I tell
all the kids at school.

Elroy, my days as Space Ace
are over as of right now.

thunk

Doesn't this guy ever quit?

- Incredible.
- It's unbelievable.

It's staggering.

It's all my fault. I've ruined
your chances for the award.

Oh, George, I never
thought I would win anyway.

I'm just glad I have my whole
family back together again.

Well, have you seen enough?

Yes, we certainly have.

[indistinct chatter]

Well, second place
isn't too bad, dear.

Don't take it too hard,
Jetson.

But that's the way
the satellite bounces.

[laughing]

Thanks a lot
for cheering me up, Mr. Spacely.

After due deliberation,
we've come to an enthusiastic

and unanimous decision.

The Outstanding Woman
of the Year is none other than..

'...Jane Jetson.'

(all)
Hurray!

That's the kind of spirit
we're looking for.

Anyone who can keep
a family like that together

deserves the award.

Gee, honey, I almost feel
sorry for Mrs. Spacely.

I think Mr. Spacely is
the one to feel sorry for.

You! You and
your miserable conniving..

And me. Whatever he gets
tonight, I'll get tomorrow.
