Capture the Flag Page #2

Synopsis: Mike Goldwing, a plucky, determined 12-year old boy, is the son and grandson of NASA astronauts. His grandfather Frank, a once revered, but now forgotten retired astronaut, lives his days isolated from his family after missing out on his big chance to fly to the moon with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin as a part of the Apollo XI mission. When an eccentric billionaire sets an evil plan to fly to the moon, steal the moon's vast mineral resources, and destroy the American flag planted by the Apollo XI team, Mike embarks on a magnificent adventure as a stowaway on the space shuttle. Accompanied by his grandfather, best friends Amy and Marty, and a clever chameleon, Mike blasts off to the moon to capture the flag and reunite his family.

And now...

it's one big can.

All thanks to my grandparents,

that won't stop giving me sweets.

I don't care anymore. It's always been

like this in my family.

Uh! Hold that.

How can you not care? Don't say that.

You don't know what you are missing.

I have my grandparents,

my nine siblings...

my uncles, my cousins,

my second cousins...

Wow, are you guys a family or

an entire country?

Shut up, Carrothead!

Seriously, don't give up.

You should do something about it.

You don't get it.

I can't do anything.

Nothing? You only need to

get them to talk.

Yeah, right. So easy...

Ok, who cares, right?

You are such a chicken.

Hey, I'm not a chicken!

Of course not...

You are the king of chickens!

Ah! Igor!

See, genius? Disaster...

Scott!

Scott! Scott!

Just what's my father doing here?

Scott! Scott! We're going back!

- Wait, what?

National priority.

Orders from the President.

- What are you talking about, Jack?

Sam, Scott,

we're going back to the Moon!

And you will be the commander!

The mission's as follows:

get to the Moon

before Carson

destroys the flag

that was put there in 1969.

If there's no flag, people'll

believe we were never there.

Wow! The Moon,

a Goldwing on the Moon...

Wait...

And how are we

going to go?

Does the name Saturn V

ring a bell?

Are you kidding? That old piece of junk

from the NASA museum?

Bingo!

They're going to repair it.

Saturn V...

The biggest rocket

ever built.

It's going to fly again after 45 years.

We'll take off in a month.

A month?! - Impossible!

No one in NASA

knows how to pilot that relic.

- They've asked some former

NASA astronauts for help,

they'll train us.

Well, I know somebody who's not

going to care anyway.

You know your father.

It's the only one who refused to come.

This is your chance, chicken.

Ok, guys, we've got

a mission.

We need to bring this

to my grandfather.

The veterans are coming tomorrow

and he needs to be there.

Why don't you give him a call?

He won't pick up the phone.

What about an email?

He doesn't have a computer.

Come on, guys!

And remember:
failure...

is not an option!

I'm always following you..

I want to be a great reporter,

not a great criminal!

I'll watch from here.

Here, the "walkies".

Go with them, Godzilla.

I didn't think we would have

a second chance.

At my age, every second

is a second chance.

Stop the chitchat.

Let's refresh our memory.

NASA needs us.

Marty, astro-grandpas in sight.

Activate Godzilla.

Godzilla activated.

"Conect the cell phone.

It will be your eyes".

If he breaks my phone, I'm going to

turn Carrothead into a carrot cake.

Igor, run.

All clear.

"Go."

Wait, security guard coming out

from the main door.

We gotta to do something

to distract him.

Darn it!

Hey!

Hi, Trent.

Are you playing with rockets again?

No, of course not.

We never...

You can go on now. There's a woman

in the counter, to the left.

Marty, get Igor

to the first floor.

"Gotcha."

Mayday, Marty,

it's the cleaning lady!

You see that, guys? You

clearly need my genius.

Stop boasting and do something!

Uh, uh...

Something happened.

I can't see anything.

I'm going to turn him into a carrot soup.

Marty, get Igor out of here!

But I can't see anything!

We're going to get caught! Turn it off!

Now!

Alright, failure is not an option.

Marty-Rocket, now!

Hey, you shouldn't be here!

Oh, I'm sorry, I was looking

for the exit...

Alright, come with me.

Ah!

What are you doing here?

I'll tell him. It'll be for the best.

I'm more eloquent

when it comes to giving news.

I'll tell him.

No, I insist, Gigs, I am

the number one. I should tell him.

What a piece of junk!

These drills are trash!

You are fired! Get out of here!

Ah!

-Ah...

Excuse me, sir...

but if you every need to make

another fake movie, you can count on me.

Alright...

Now get lost.

So, what's going on?

Gigs has something to tell you!

Is that so?

Uh... NASA is going...

back to the Moon.

What?!

And why the hell do they

have to go now?

40 years...

And they have to go now?

Whose idea was that?

The order came from...

the... the President herself.

Oh, so the President wants to play.

Let's see if

she dares interfering

in my business

when I arrive on the Moon

and I get my new toy.

"Carson Industries

proudly presents

the energy of the future. The final

alternative to oil.

"A material rarely found on Earth,

but available

on the Moon

in endless quantities".

Helium 3!

Aren you not going to the Moon

to fulfill your father's dream?

Ha! Dad couldn't care less

about the Moon.

But, as he used to say: "Go like a rocket

and always fill your pocket".

I can tell you it's

an honor

to be the commander

in this historic mission.

Hi, Mike.

Hi, Joe.

You coming to see your father?

Yeah. What about the veterans?

About to arrive. Come on in.

Hey!

Look at that!

This is... awesome!

Oh! Take some pictures

and upload them on Facebook.

The girls will go crazy!

Hey, can you take a pic, Amy?

If the camera can capture

my charm, that is.

Amy, can't you stop tweeting

for five seconds?

I'm not tweeting,

I'm ignoring you.

Hey, the astro-grandpas

are here!

"Ladies and gentlemen,

it's a pleasure to announce

the arrival of the veterans

from the lunar missions."

Mr. Aldrin,

please look at the camera.

Here, please,

Mr. Collins.

- I have a question.

Look at the camera, please.

Only one question.

- Here, Mr. Collins.

Could you answer

a question?

Uh, weren't

dinosaurs extinct?

He hasn't come...

Scott, I've assigned the instructors.

You are going to love yours.

Surprise me! Is it Collins?

Ah, Aldrin! Tell me it's Aldrin.

Mike, look!

Ah...

Michael.

Scott, let me introduce you

to your instructor:

Captain in the reserve,

Frank Goldwing.

It's truly an honor.

Sweet!

Right here, please!

Please, sir.

- Here, look, sir.

Look over here! Thanks.

Look at the camera please.

Yeah!

Ah, the Goldwings! I love

family reunions.

You are the man, congratulations.

You got the cover.

But this could ruin the plan.

What if they get to the Moon before us?

Impossible! And I don't care

if we gotta cheat,

lie, steal...

Have I said "cheat" yet?

Just make sure

the Goldwings fail.

Flight test positive.

Starting landing simulation.

Careful,

it's a difficult maneuver.

Understood.

- It's "Understood, Captain".

Understood, Captain.

Wow, man, that's boss!

How did you get here?

Dad got us passes.

We'll talk about that later. Step aside,

the Commander is going to land.

Dad!

Dad, can we get on that?

Negative, that's not a toy.

Oh, come on. It's alright, guys.

I'm in charge here.

Commander,

you are breaking the rules.

Oh, why do you care?

Please, Grandpa, please!

Captain, do you remember when

you gave me a ride on it?

It's one of my best memories.

We're out of fuel!

- "That's not possible."

I checked it myself.

- Are you sure?

Of course!

Call off the mission, jump!

No. I can land.

No, you can't! Not at that speed.
