Flight Of The Navigator Page #2

---

What happened to you, Mom?

You too, Dad?

Why were those people in our house?

Why?

David, we don't know

all the answers to all this yet,

but the main thing is you're alive,

David, where have you been all this time?

All this time?

I just went to get Jeff

at the Johnsons' a few hours ago,

Get Jeff, He'll tell you!

David?

Who's that?

That's your brother, Jeffrey,

What?

Mr, and Mrs, Freeman?

Could I see you outside

for a few minutes, please?

Sure,

Honey?

We'll be right back,

You look just like I remember you,

This is totally rad,

I mean, you're my big little brother,

You're not my brother,

Listen,,, I'm sorry for scaring you like that,

jumping out of the tree,

I felt rotten about it,

Anybody could know that,

Hey, you think it's easy for me

to believe that you're David?

I mean, you should be,

like, 20 years old now,

I'm not really sure why I kept this,

I guess I thought

maybe I'd be able to use it,

You know, kind of save the day,

Mom and Dad went nuts

when we couldn't find you,

They made me put those things up

on every telephone pole and tree for years,

Every Saturday,

You should've seen Mom,

She kept all the stuff in your room,

She refused to believe that you were dead,

It's 1986, man,

Eight years since that night,

You little weasel,

Dork,

Butt-face,

- Scuzz-bucket,,,

- Bucket,

Jeff,,, I'm scared,

We'll figure something out,

- Dad, I wanna go home,

- Yeah, I know, I know, David, We want you

to come home too but the doctor wants you

to stay in the hospital a couple of days,

No, Dad! Please don't make me stay,

We have to find out where you've been,

He wants to run a couple of tests

to help you remember,

and we thought that was important,

Davey, so we said OK,

Mom!

Oh, honey, one of us

will be with you around the clock,

Nothing bad's gonna happen to you,

I promise,

Now, um, you two guys,

you go get some sleep,

I'll stay with our guy tonight,

OK, right,

Well, we'll see you in a couple of hours,

Bye,

Be cool, dude,

Mom,,, have I really

been gone eight years?

Yeah,

It's like a bad dream,

Thyroid hormones suggest that a great

many factors could influence one of,,,

He's hurt! He's calling me,

What is it?

- Nothing, Forget it,

- No! What?

Well, this voice keeps calling,

saying something over and over and over,

But I can't understand very much,

Well, what is it saying?

Something,,,

I can't explain it,

I knew you wouldn't believe me,

No, I believe you,

You don't think I'm going crazy, do you?

Are you kidding?

They've run a million tests on you,

In fact, you're probably

the only sane person in this place,

Don't worry about it,

It was just a bad dream,

Thanks,

- Have you tried everything?

- Everything, It's completely impregnable,

We must get inside,

For all we know, something may be

living, or perhaps even dying inside this,

It appears to be seamless -

no way in, no way out,

- David, what time did you enter the

woods? - Around 8:00,

Then you met your brother?

Yeah, The jerk jumped out

of a tree and scared me,

He's lucky he's still alive.

Then what happened?

Well,,, I chased him for a while,

Then I reached this cliff,

Jesus! He's transmitting in alpha waves

with complex frequency patterns in them,

- What's going on?

- I don't know,

I know I fell,

The alpha waves are coming in

at 12,78 cycles per second,

He's communicating directly

with the computer in binary code,

- How the hell is he doing that?

- I have no idea,

But then after you fell,

you went somewhere,

How did you get there?

What is that?

- Is that coming from David?

- I believe it is,

Well, what is it?

How did I get out of the ravine?

I crawled out,

Let's get the gas jets now,

CO2 sensors with the breakers,,,

Dr, Faraday, I think you

should take a look at this,

- Where did this come from?

- From the mind of 12-year-old boy,

David, what do you think?

No way! I'm not going,

I don't think you understand

the importance of this situation,

I don't care if it's a matter of national

security, If David says no, then that's it,

But David would get treatment

from the best specialists in the country,

not to mention technical capabilities

this hospital is not prepared to offer,

- Am I correct, Doctor?

- It's true,

We've done just about

everything we can for him,,,

Excuse me, I know that all sounds great,

but the fact is David has to go on living,

and he can't do that in an institution,

So until you can tell me something

that makes one ounce of sense,

then we're all going home,

and that's all there is to it,

- Right on, Dad,

- Yeah,

Well, I'm sorry you don't

wanna know the truth,

What?

The truth about where David's been

for the last eight years,

Why he can't remember, What all

this unusual brain activity means,

And most of all,,, why he hasn't aged,

David, I can offer you the truth,

All I need is 48 hours,

Just two days at the base

with me and my staff, alone,

No confusion, no distraction,

And then, David, you can go home

and put all this behind you,

That's what you want, isn't it?

Yes,

- Who said that?

- Who said what?

Never mind,

Well, David, this will be your room for a

while, What do you think?

- Is this stuff for me?

- Yes, it is,

There's no phone in here, I thought I was

supposed to be able to call my parents,

We'll make that call together

first thing tomorrow from my office, OK?

Now, look, if you wanna watch TV,

this is a remote-control wand,

And we'll get you something

to eat right away, OK?

Now, here's a special gift just for you,

Tomorrow's gonna be very exciting,

So you enjoy yourself

and we'll see you in the morning,

Hey!

... Americans out there

who need and want to lose weight.

Let's constrain ourselves.

Let's get back to the basic subject.

What can your diet do for Americans?

Pardon me. Coming through.

Get away!

Hi, I'm Carolyn McAdams,

You gotta be real hungry

after your trip, right?

- What is this thing?

- That's RALF,

- RALF?

- Mm-hm,

Robotic Assistant Labor Facilitator,

Actually what he does here

is he delivers mail and supplies,

and he messes up a little bit

every now and then,

So,,, who did you murder

to get put here in maximum security?

No one, I'm a national security secret,

Oh, Well, in that case,

I shouldn't be talking to you at all,

Wait a sec! Um, how come

Starsky and Hutch isn't on?

That show was canceled

a long time ago,

That was my favorite show!

And what's this stuff?

You've never seen a music video before?

Uh-uh, I've been gone for eight years,

Gone where? Outer space?

- Could be,

- You know something? You're a weird kid,

Me? I'm not the one with the purple hair,

Oh, yeah, I went to a concert

with some friends last night,

Really? My mom took me to see

the Bee Gees a couple months ago,

- Who'd you see?

- Twisted Sister,

- Never heard of her,

- It's a him,

- Oh,

- Actually, it's a them,

You're serious about being away,

aren't you?

What was it?
