to a sliding shutter.

If I press down on the accelerator,

it releases the gamma rays,

and that increases the thrust.

Ah. Listen to that baby chirp.

Now, the steering wheel

controls lateral motion.

- Mm-hmm.

- If you turn right,

- Okay.

- it`ll steer right.

- Ah! Turns right.

- Turn the wheel left, it steers left.

So, it functions a lot like

a normal automatic shift...

- with drive, park, neutral, reverse.

- Yes, yes, yes, yes.

- It`s that easy. See, Weebo?

- Professor!

- Weebo?

- Help! Let me out!

- Oh, Weebo!

- Professor!

- Oh!

- What were you doing in there?

- Flirting with the alternator.

- Hope you didn`t touch anything.

It`s not the time to play. We`re about

to make a major breakthrough.

Okay, here we go.

Yeah. I think we`re ready.

- Weebo?

- Yes?

What do you say

we take her for a ride?

- Fly me to the moon!

- That`s it. That`s the spirit.

We`ll fly over to Sara`s house,

park this baby on the roof,

and then maybe she`s

gonna change her tune.

You know, maybe you should

just go without me.

- Why?

- Because I get carsick.

- Oh, come on.

You`re not gonna blow chips.

- No?

- You don`t have a stomach.

- I have a queasy gyro.

Now get over it. This is not

about cars. This is about Sara.

- Now get in here.

- No!

- Now.

- All right.

Oh! We`re fine now.

- Ah! Out into the world.

- Okay, here we go.

Look at this! Let`s see

what this baby will do!

Oh! It works!

- Yes, it does.

- I`m psyched!

Oh, boy.

- You know what this means, Weebo?

- What?

I`ll never have

to buy tyres again.

Ah. Let`s see what`s

on the radio, Weebo.

Ho! Latin!

Bam ba-bum, ba-bum, ba-bum

Bum ba-bum ba-bum

Hey!

Bum-bum be-bum bum

Right turn.

Whoa! Yes!

Huh? Huh? Oh!

Ah! We`re fine.

Whoa! Oh.

- It`s all right. I saw it.

- I don`t think so.

Weebo, there is

nothing to worry about.

Oh-- Mayday!

Come on. Easy.

Oh! Sorry.

First-time flyer. Shh!

I`m very sorry!

Hang on, Weebo!

Oh! Ha, ha, ha! Oh!

Whoa! Oh! Oh, Weebo!

Oh, now, we`re cookin`!

Whoa!

Oh!

Oh! Yes!

Oh, Weebo. Come on up.

Please. You`ve gotta see this.

Wow! ls this

what you call heaven?

Almost. Look at it.

The whole world below

and beyond.

- It`s beautiful.

- The solitude up here.

The stillness.

- The silence.

- Uh-oh.

Silly me turned it off.

Turns right back on.

The shutter`s jammed probably,

Weebo. We`re okay.

Start right up.

Oh, please turn over!

For the love of Newton,

turn over!

Abandon ship!

Oh!

Yes!

It`s such a pleasure

to spend time with you...

without having Brainard

hovering above us.

Mmm.

- More wine?

- No. No, thank you.

I have to say good night.

I have a busy,

busy day tomorrow.

Mmm.

Rutland would die to have you.

We`d be together

with nothing but time.

Sara?

Mmm.

I`m sorry, Wilson.

Forget it. It`s okay.

We have lots of time.

Listen, l`m-l`m driving up

on Thursday to Rutland for the game.

- I`ll see you there.

- Should I make dinner reservations?

Since Rutland is going

to lose, l`ll pay.

All right. If your team wins,

you can buy me dinner.

If your team loses, we go up to

the mountains for the weekend.

- Mmm--

- Cad!

- Do we have a bet?

- I`ll think about it.

I can`t lose. She`s mine!

Sir lsaac.

Out!

All right.

One more time. What happened?

He took a golf ball,

he rubbed this cream on it,

and then the golf ball

took off and...

popped Smith in the head.

- Several times.

- Mm-hmm.

- I got hit with a bowling ball.

- Repeatedly.

- Were you drinking?

- No.

Two beers at dinner.

Wesson had a white wine.

- With dinner.

- Right.

It`s this stuff

he`s got, sir. It`s--

I don`t know what it is. I don`t

know where it comes from, but...

it will give you

one heck of a headache.

Oh, goodness.

I-l wish I could

make you feel better.

Hmm. So do l.

Well, maybe l`m old-fashioned,

but I believe...

a woman should love a man

for what he is,

and not for what

she wants him to be.

Thanks for the

sentiment, Weebo, but...

this is really not an area you`re

qualified to offer perspective on.

Well, I don`t have much of

a smile, but I do have a brain.

I have to deal with this alone.

It`s a human matter,

not for computers.

It`s for people.

- Good night, Weebo.

- Good night, Professor.

Hmm.

- I got it!

- Oh, no!

I gotta turn this thing off.

This is so embarrassing.

Weebo, I just had

this amazing dream!

- Weebo!

- Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!

Weebo! Weebo!

- Weebo! Wake up!

- Mmm.

- I`ve solved all our problems.

- I`m all ears.

Flubber is going

to the basketball game.

- Basketball?

- Yes!

Testing, testing.

Applying a thin layer

of fluid flubber...

to synthetic leather surface

of basketball.

Application complete.

Wow!

Oops.

Two points.

Implementing plan "B."

Very tight. Tight.

And careful, careful,

careful, careful.

Secondary flubber experiment.

Control elements: bungee cord,

three-to-one elasticity ratio,

fifty-pound ballast.

Commencing now.

Wish me luck.

Oh! Whoa!

Yes!

Ha, ha!

Whoa! I got it!

Oh! Bungee! Bungee!

Oh! Oh!

Uh, help.

Uh, yeow!

It worked!

Yes!

End test.

Did you fully fix the flubber

on each tack before we painted?

Excuse me, Darth Vader,

but what did you say?

Did you fully fix a 15%

flubber solution to each tack

before Weber started painting?

- Yes, l`m positive.

- Excellent.

And how long does it take

the paint to wear off?

- Uh, 30 minutes.

- Be a little suspicious...

if the flubber started

working immediately.

- Uh, isn`t this cheating?

- No, it`s not cheating.

It`s equalizing.

You`ve seen the team. They

should have their own telethon.

Come on! We`ve got

to win this game.

I`ve gotta do it to prove to

Sara that flubber really works.

I`m gonna do it right under

Wilson Croft`s nose.

Don`t fail me.

- Weebo.

- Yes?

- While l`m out, you`re in charge, okay?

- Okay.

- No phone calls to Russia again.

- I think that was Weber.

Oh! Make sure the flubber

stays in the tank.

- Got it.

- Under no circumstances

are you to release it.

- Of course.

- Because you know what would happen.

- Ho, ho, ho.

- Do you understand?

- Yes, sir, I understand.

- Promise?

- Have no fear.

That`s my girl.

Go Medfield!

Okay.

Good evening, everybody,

and welcome to Rutland Arena...

for the 86th meeting of the Rutland

Rangers and the Medfield Squirrels.

Rutland, if they can just

stay awake, should be able...

to steamroll the Squirrels

here tonight at the--

All right, Squirrels,

Iisten up here now.

Okay, Rutland may have us

in height and reach,

weight and power,

agility, speed and talent.

They have the advantage

on offence...

and defence.

Sure, they`re-they`re

better coached,

better trained,

and their will to win is

unmatched in the conference.

They`re undefeated

in their last...

one hundred and eight games.

But that doesn`t mean we can`t

whip these guys. Right?

- Yeah!

- Ohh!

Rutland! Rangers!

Rutland! Rangers!

Okay, flubber, it`s time

that you and l...

got to know each other.
