Cocoon: The Return

Now, remember, if your loop is

large, your rug is loose.

Let's all repeat that, shall we?

If your loop is large, your rug is loose.

Good. Now let's give it a try.

Make a loop, pull it through,

cross over and pull it out.

Tighten those loops, Mr Lefkowitz.

This rest-home.

You wouldn't believe the place.

"Lights on!" "Lights off!"

Rules, rules, rules.

They don't even let you

keep a hotplate.

I shouldn't complain.

Today was an exciting day.

I learned how to hook a rug.

A man who, at one time, had the entire

garment district right here.

That's how I spend my days.

It isn't fair.

You work all your life, and you pay

taxes, you're a good citizen.

And what are you left with?

A tight rug.

I miss you, Rose.

My glass-bottom boat is about to give

you a treat, so hold on to your lanyards.

What you have before you, ladies and

gentlemen, is the climax of today's adventure.

The famous Lost Treasure of

the Florida Keys.

Amazing, isn't it?

Oh, good people, it's been here since the days

of Ponce de Leon and Vasco da Gama.

- Even Moby Dick.

- What a rip-off.

If there are no questions,

we'll head back to port,

where our gift kiosk carries an attractive line

of postcards, T-shirts and other treasures.

Full steam ahead, matey!

Shiver me timbers!

Stop! What the hell are you doin'?

Them's my French fries.

Oh, Mamma!

- Hi, honey. I'm home.

- Hi, Mom.

- How's the term paper coming?

- Fine.

David, I hope that's not the TV I hear.

No, Mom.

David?

- Who's there?

- It's your grandpa. I gotta talk to you.

- Grandpa!

- Your grandma and I are coming to see you.

- Really?

- Our friends have unfinished business to do.

It was a chance

for your grandma and I to grab a ride.

You have to talk to your mother

because she won't be ready for this.

What do I say? She's gonna freak.

Just tell her the truth. How about that?

- Look, I'll see you soon, son.

- Great!

I know how much you love Grandpa and

Grandma and wish they were here with us,

so it's only normal to fantasize.

- But it's important to know it's only a fantasy.

- But it's not a fantasy.

Maybe it would help

if you talked to somebody about this.

Mom, I don't need to see a shrink. They're

not dead. They really did go to another planet.

- David, your grandparents are not in space.

They're not in the television

and they're not coming back.

They were lost at sea. You know that.

They've been dead for five years.

Hello, darling.

Oh...

Just a minute!

Well, aren't you gonna invite us in?

Oh, for crying out loud!

Joe! Joe!

Alma!

Bess! How are ya?

Art! Come in, Art!

It's so wonderful to see you.

- It's great to see you, boy.

- What's to see?

I'm a broken-down old schlep with one foot

in the grave. If I was a horse, they'd shoot me.

The same old Bernie.

You haven't aged a day. You probably think

I'm ajerk for not going with you.

Oh, Bernie, we never thought that.

Good, because I never regretted it.

I never once regretted not going with you.

What's that? A little remodelling?

Oh, the maintenance here is...

You wouldn't believe it...

I ought to sue. I think it's...

By the way, you owe me rent.

It's all yours. All your things.

They tried to throw them out after you left,

but I told them "Over my dead body."

- I guess they figured that wouldn't be long.

- Bernie, you're a sentimental fool.

Well, I'm glad you got here in time because

I've been thinking about a garage sale.

How have you really been?

The truth? Not too good.

But now maybe things are looking up.

I think it's gonna be like old times.

I think.

Huh?

I feel terrible.

We let him think we were staying.

Do you want to be the one

to burst his bubble?

So what do we do?

Let him think we're staying here for good?

- We're gonna have to tell him sooner or later.

- Hold it.

I'll tell him. I'll tell him.

But not until I think he can handle it. Right?

Good morning, my little Antarean butterfly.

- Smells like I'll gain 5lbs this morning.

- At least.

- How you feel?

- Finer than frog hair.

- Where is everybody?

- The first group went through.

Here, have some coffee.

I made a fresh pot.

- How's Susie this morning?

- All things considered, holding up very well.

It's good to be back, isn't it?

Yeah.

- Still got the moves, don't I, kid?

- I didn't marry you for your money!

Well, I'll be goddamned.

- What is it?

- Here.

I'll be right back.

Look at this!

Is this beautiful?

You are beautiful.

- You have incredible eyes. You a collector?

- No.

Oh, a shrewd one at that.

Well, I will not insult you by haggling.

This Davy Jones treasure chest - a beauty,

isn't it? - I can give it to you for $19.95.

For that piece ofjunk?

You wife doesn't appreciate

fine antiques the way you do.

Listen, you take the box and I'll throw in

the barnacle salt-and-pepper shakers for free.

- Sold.

- Ha-ha!

Lovely.

Shaun, uh...

Take care of those folks, will you?

Hello, Jack.

I don't believe it.

What are you doin' here?

Don't tell me. You searched the entire galaxy,

couldn't find anyone as terrific as me?

The cocoons are in danger, Jack.

The sensors that we left on the bottom

of the ocean floor indicate seismic activity.

We've come to take our friends away.

We've got four days to rescue them

before our ship returns to take us home.

Seismic activity? That's heavy.

I was in an earthquake,

so I know it's very intense.

Well, aren't you glad to see me?

Isn't it a custom here to hug a friend

when you haven't seen her in a long time?

Yeah... Yeah, of course.

Hey, Romeo!

D'you think you could tear yourself away long

enough to ring up my clamshell castanets?

"O my luve is like a red, red rose

That's newly sprung in June:"

"O my luve is like a melodie

That is sweetly play'd in tune."

Oh, Arthur, darling, it's perfect.

- D'you want me to fix us breakfast?

- No time. Gotta meet the boys and get Bernie.

- Poor Bernie.

- Oh, nonsense.

We'll get him out of that hospital

and get his blood pumping again.

- That's Joe.

- Will you miss me?

- I already do.

Goodbye, Mrs Selwyn.

- How'd ya sleep?

- Best night's sleep I've had in years.

- How about Bess?

- She slept like a baby.

- What about you two?

- Alma didn't sleep a wink.

- You're kidding?

- No.

Neither did I.

Oh, you dog, you!

You smell that?

Yeah, incense.

Maybe a Hindu runs the place.

Back here.

Come on back, whoever you are.

Believe it or not, I'm open for business!

Hiya, fellas. What can I do for you?

- Mrs Feinberg?

- Call me Ruby.

Ever try this? It delivers oxygen-enriched

blood to the pleasure centres of the brain.

It's terrific. Will you give me a hand? I'm new

at this. It's tough getting out of this cookie.

Here we go, OK? Come on, don't be shy.

Now, put me right side up. Right side up.

Easy! Take it easy, fellas. Easy. Easy.

That is great. That's it. That's it.

OK, now, you grab an ankle

and you grab an ankle.

There's the left one. Terrific.

That is it.

Great.

Oh, boy, that's terrific.
