Honey I Blew Up the Kid Page #2

...you don't allow the molecules time

to expand, and the balloon pops.

Problem?

- No, Szalinski.

Oh, him.

Why Clifford insists on keeping

him involved is absolutely beyond me.

If I were running this project

by myself right now,

we'd be neck-deep in apples...

...the size of Buicks.

There are those of us on

the board who would agree with you.

...fundamental integrity

of the atomic substructure...

Clifford Sterling just may have

outlived his usefulness...

...to the corporation,

to its stockholders.

I should think his successor

would be a foregone conclusion...

...especially if you're the one to

actually make this thing work.

...thereby allowing the

molecules time to expand...

...without tearing the atomic fabric.

Hello?

Szalinsk... Szalinski...

...why don't you write up this, uh,

balloon research of yours?

I can do the math and have it

on your desk tomorrow.

No, that's not necessary.

All right, have a good weekend, Szalinski.

'Have a good weekend, Szalinski'?

Hello?

- Hi, may I please speak to Mandy?

Sure.

Mandy, phone.

Hello?

- Hi, Mandy?

I'll fix it.

Daddy.

- Hey, what are you doing up, little guy?

Hey, Nick, want to do

something with me tomorrow?

Yeah, sure.

Okay. Come on, fella.

One more story.

Then tomorrow, you want

to come with me and Nicky...

...down to the lab and we'll play?

Okay, guys.

See, Adam, this is where Daddy works.

Want me to take that?

- Yeah.

Got to be a little bit discreet about this.

Huh?

Mr Szalinski.

- Hi, Smitty.

Hello. You working today?

Uh, just gonna tidy up a little bit.

Wow.

- Wow.

This is some lab.

- Some lab.

Way better than what we had

in the attic, huh?

Way better.

- Way better.

Yes, would you connect me

with Dr Hendrickson, please?

Call up a command directory

labeled 'primary laser drive.'

Tell me what it says under 'intensity.'

It says 'access denied.'

- Access denied?

Got to figure out some way how

to lower the intensity of the laser.

Hey, Dad.

We could diffuse it maybe.

That's a good idea.

Now we'll set final target.

- Target what, Dad?

Hey, can I borrow this, pal?

- No.

Come on. Let me see if I can make

Big Bunny really Big Bunny, huh?

Yes, sir. I thought it was unusual,

him being in here on a Saturday.

No, you did the right thing

letting me know. Thank you.

Well, that's it for me.

Hey, you're gonna have

to wear some glasses.

There you go.

Thirty seconds.

Twenty-five seconds.

Twenty seconds.

...15, 14, 13...

...12, 11, 10...

...9, 8, 7, 6, 5...

Dang. Power surge.

- 3, 2, 1...

Quick, the abort switches.

- Zero.

Unable to abort.

Joe, what's happening up here?

Uh, Mr Szalinski.

Uh, your security clearance...

...denies you access to the equipment...

...without Dr Hendrickson's permission.

You are aware of that, right?

- Yeah, Smitty.

Uh, Mr Szalinski...

I'm sorry I had to, uh, uh...

That baby of yours.

Sure starting to get big.

See you, Smitty.

I'm bigger.

Bigger, bigger, bigger.

Dad, how come you got to ask

somebody's permission to work...

...on your own invention?

Well, Nick, Dad's a member

of a team now, and I'm working...

...with some real talented people.

But, Dad, it's your invention.

They didn't have the idea, you did.

Okay, bud. Looks like Daddy...

...needs to spend a little quality time

with Nick, okay?

So I'm gonna get you a baby-sitter.

You're gonna have yourself a good time.

Nick.

- Yeah.

You puttin' on a little bit of weight?

I'm big.

You know what? Daddy's gonna

make you a nice quick lunch.

Maybe kind of a low-cal thing.

What do you think, huh?

It's gonna be good.

Okay, you know what?

Sit down and hang onto him.

This guy's gonna keep you company,

and I'm gonna make...

Uh, baby-sitter,

baby-sitter, baby-sitter.

Okay, so lunches.

Whoa. How about that, huh?

Yeah?

- Hi, is this Mandy Park?

Yeah.

Uh, hi, this is, uh, Wayne Szalinski.

Can you come over about 3:30 for us?

Uh, 3:
30?

Sounds okay, Mr Schlitzminski.

Uh, Szalinski, dear.

- Szalinski, right. That's what I said.

I, like, charge $2.50 an hour.

Unless, of course,

I actually have to do anything...

...like change diapers

or clean up or something,

in which case, the price goes up.

Oh, no. All you have to do

is just-just watch him, really.

Okay, see yOu at 3:30.

- Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Are these Quark's or yours?

You just stay here, okay?

She sounded great on the phone.

- I want to go to a restaurant.

You want to go to a restaurant?

But I just made this stuff.

It's gonna be good.

I want to go eat in restaurant.

Well, um, I'll be the waiter, okay?

And, uh, let me take your order.

What would you like?

- I want the duck.

Duck. The duck...

The duck is not very good tonight.

Uh, can I recommend the special?

Okay.

- Okay, fine. We have soup du jour.

We have hamburger.

We have French fries today.

Would you like 'em?

- Okay.

All right.

I'll be right back.

- Okay.

Hey, Nick, want to go to a movie?

Just the two of us.

Yeah, there's a movie at the Desert Six

I wanted to see.

Great. Come on.

It'll take our minds off everything.

I'll check show times.

- Okay, and then maybe afterwards,

we can get a bite to eat or something.

Big, Big Bunny.

What's that?

What's gotten into him?

Dad, how?

- Where were you in the lab this morning?

Were you watching Adam?

He was off to the side.

- But at the moment of discharge,

where was he?

Just before, I know,

he was off to the side. Wasn't he?

Somehow, I don't think so.

Boo.

Don't worry, Adam.

Daddy's going to make everything okay.

Okay, we got to get him back to the lab,

analyse the data...

...and reverse the process.

One thing, Dad.

- What?

Do you think the security guard might

get suspicious with us walking in...

...with a seven-foot baby?

Good point.

This will cover your head and your hair.

Here, Adam, put this on.

There. He looks like

a badly dressed beekeeper.

All right. Okay.

Now just act natural.

Come on, bud.

Atta boy.

Smitty. Smitty. Um, I forgot the,

um, the keys, uh, to my van,

and I couldn't-couldn't start the van.

It's in the lab.

It's in the lab, but I'm not going...

...to use anything in there...

...because of my security, you know,

access... a-access thing,

which you mentioned earlier.

So I'm just gonna get

the keys in the lab now.

Adam.

Come on, down.

Szalinski.

- Go back up.

Just stopped by to do

some, uh, computations...

...in the... in the database.

The database has been erased.

Our entire experiment, gone.

Get back. Back.

Erased?

- All 38 gigabytes.

It can't be.

Sure it can, if the main controller was

trying to compensate laser intensity...

...for this, which you jammed

into the filter pack, you idiot...

...causing a power surge

through the entire main drive system.

Who was that?

- Who?

The guy in the hat.

- Uh, a-a friend of mine.

Well, what language was he speaking?

- Yugoslavian.

You let a foreigner into the lab.

- He's not a foreigner. He's my wife's

Uncle Yanosh from Yugoslavia.
