It's doing it again!

- What?

- I don't know.

I never programmed

anything like this.

I mean, look at it.

It's complete nonsense.

- Well, then where's it coming from?

- I don't know!

- I have no idea!

- Great, the computer's crazy.

We're going straight up!

Is it thinking for itself

or taking over the ship, or what?

It has to be receiving this stuff from

somewhere else outside the sphere.

- Tell it to turn us around!

- I'm trying to, OK?!

See, "no access".

I don't know what this is

or where it's coming from.

Well, you can still read it, can't you?

You guys ready for some

more good news?

We're out of air.

We are!

OK, nobody panic.

We have to trick the computer.

I'm going to reverse our x-axis diode.

Hold your ears.

I'm turning off the field,

and air's gonna rush in for a second.

- Aren't we still going up?

- No, this is great!

Not only do we have new fresh air,

but I tricked the computer

so it thinks it's going

in the opposite direction

than it actually is. It's great.

- Well, then we're going straight down.

- Well, yeah...

- We're going straight down.

- OK, OK.

Oh, we made it.

Oh, we made... Oh, OK.

- Twelve-volt system, off.

- Wait, Wolfgang.

- We're not on the ground.

- And last but not least.

- I've been waiting for this.

- We're not on the ground.

Of course we are!

We're home, we're home!

- Field, off.

- Don't do it!

You idiot!

You broke my Walkman,

you're dead.

Yeah, well, I got us

back down, didn't I?

You sure did.

Wow. It took us right back home.

What's so funny?

That was great!

That was incredible!

Next time...

Next time, we'll bring more air,

- Next time?

- And we'll go higher,

and we'll explore.

Listen, Ben, I'm not going to get in

that thing again until we find out

exactly where those programs

were coming from.

- And we need to run tests. Yes.

- Wolfgang, come on.

We have to run hundreds

upon hundreds of serious tests.

You know, it could take years.

What are you talking about?

That was the most important thing

that ever happened!

Couldn't you feel it?

That feeling way inside.

- We were flying!

- Come on, Ben, make some sense.

- We almost didn't come back.

- But we did come back.

Here we are!

What do you think?

We should trust the dream, right?

Sorry, man. I wanna live.

But we have our own spaceship.

You coming?

No.

I wanna take another look around.

OK. Catch you later.

Johann.

Johann, keep your projectiles

to yourself.

There was quite a lot of activity

in this town last night.

There were numerous

UFO sightings.

Many of them at the drive-in,

where the police are trying

to investigate

to discover who destroyed

the concession stand.

- Wolfgang!

- What?

Your color is not good.

You should not be making

experiments so late.

Oh, by the way,

I found the bug bomb.

- Where was it?

- Where was it?

In the bathroom.

Hey, man, I waited a lifetime

for something like this to happen.

I wanna find out what the hell it was

we saw up there.

OK, well, I saw something

down in the creek, and I...

I don't know, I can't help it.

Can't you understand that?

All I know is,

this is driving me crazy.

Gordon...

Look, man, I've been having

dreams about this lately, and...

Yes, really.

The weird thing is...

...I haven't had dreams like this

since I was a kid.

Lori, it's a dream!

Lori?

Wow!

Is this what your first dream

was like?

- Wolfgang, this is a private dream.

- Not anymore.

You too?

I thought you never dreamed.

Yeah, so did I.

But wait a minute. Don't you see?

We're all here.

There must be a reason for this.

There's always a reason

when you dream.

What are these, drive-ins?

See, there's the diagram!

And there's a missing part

in the center.

We have to remember it

and then figure it out

when we go up again.

Wolfgang.

I just had a dream

weirder than yours.

Did you get the diagram?

Yes, as a matter of fact, I did.

What's going on here?

We both had the same dream.

See, it's a smaller circuit board

that fits onto the original circuit board.

Like this...

- Turn it on.

- OK.

What is that stuff?

It's... It's oxygen!

- It's our oxygen!

- Well, turn it off, stupid.

I had it turned up a little too high.

But that's OK. We can still go.

Finally.

You feel it too.

Yeah.

It's ever since the dream last night.

Let's face it, somebody's calling us.

They've been calling us

since the beginning.

But from where?

I don't know,

but it's somewhere up there.

Well, I guess we have

to find out, right?

Well, they got us this far.

It's like we're supposed to go.

Well...

...let's go.

Before my dad sees his work shed.

Ben, are you using my tweezers again

on one of your models?

- No.

- Honey, what are you doing?

I'm writing a letter to Grandma.

Well, good.

- Mom.

- Yeah?

You remember that stuff

you were telling me

about your dreams

and doing what you wanna do?

Well, if I really want to be an astronaut

and go out in space

and really do that,

it'd be OK, right?

Sure, honey, if that's

what you really wanna do.

OK.

- Sleep tight.

- Yeah, good night.

Bye, Mom.

Hiya, kid.

- So you're the spaceman.

- What?

Hey, listen.

- Is this your jacket?

- Where'd you get that?

You were in that UFO, weren't you?

Weren't you?

Hey, weren't you in there?!

We gotta get out of here!

Some guy knows about it!

What? Who?

Some guy, he tried to grab me

outside my house.

He's probably on his way

over here right now.

So we'll kick his butt.

OK, let's get out of here.

OK. I have to regulate

the air pressure first, OK?

Can't you do that

when we're up there?

No, I can't, Ben. Now,

you're getting on my nerves.

What's that?

Something my dad gave me,

do you mind?

No, it's fine. Fine.

Just put it out of the way.

Nice going, kid.

All right!

- So, what happens now?

- I'll take us up higher and...

And then they'll contact us, I guess.

I can't stop thinking

about what's up there.

I mean, what kind of life?

You mean, will it be some

kind of slimy blob?

It could be anything.

I mean, it could be pure energy,

or it could be thought waves.

I mean, I don't know.

It could be something

we can't even imagine.

How about a planet full

of Amazon women

who wanna breed a new race?

- You pervert.

- Oh, come on, you guys.

You'll see. It'll be great.

It'll be the greatest thing ever.

They're here.

See, they're taking over.

- Wow, what was that?

- What happened?

- Where are we?

- Oh, my God.

Eaten alive.

- What if we wanna go back?

- Go back?

Now you say this?

Why don't you look around,

it's a little too late!

Will you shut up?

It'll be all right. Just don't spoil it.

We are going where no man

has gone before,

to unlock the secrets

of the universe.

It's pretty incredible.

Think about it.

The field's off.

Well, guys, we're on our own now.

Don't worry.

It's all part of the plan.

Look at this place.

Ride's over.

- I guess we should get out now, huh?

- Are you crazy?

We can't just sit here.
