yeah, here we go! | Here we go!

Tell me what it is you're | supposed to be doing again?

Tai Chi while drinking | Purple Flurp.

Tai Chi promotes wellness, | relaxes...

and rejuvenates the body, | whereas Purple Flurp...

being 98% sugar, | creates tension...

a temporary rush of energy | and mood swings.

I figure if I do them together...

I achieve perfect balance.

Wow. It's better than the poster!

Gentlemen, this will be a night | we shan't easily forget.

I don't know what "shan't" means, | but let's go!

Do you promise to use your powers | for good and not evil?

yes, UltraLord.

Now, counterpart, | take this UltraMask...

- I will! Give it to me! | - and lead the fight for justice!

Is this kid with anyone?

Go, Carl!

Wow! Now, that's what I call a ride!

Let's go!

This is way beyond awesome!

Just think:
If you boneheaded dweebs | had listened to your parents...

you'd be home in bed, | instead of riding this monster.

Oh, man, this is great!

- I tell you, he's fine. | - Just a quick peek, Hugh.

There. Now, what'd I tell you?

- Jimmy, are you awake, dear? | - yes, Mother, I am awake.

Son, your mother and I just | wanted to say good night.

yes, and to tell you | that we love you.

Oh, honey, | I know you're upset.

We don't like to punish you. | you're such a special boy.

This says we should encourage Jimmy | without overindulging him.

Okay. What does it say | about rockets?

Is there someone in the kitchen?

Our kitchen? | I didn't hear anything.

Honey, did you leave | the green light on?

Jimmy?

you're not Jimmy!

Hugh, are you all right?

Was that so cool?

- That was great. | - Mind-bending!

yeah! Hey, my pants | are almost dry.

Hey,Jimmy, I never thought | I'd say it, but here goes:

you know what? | That Nick is not such a bad guy.

Are you kidding? He's a genius!

- He's a genius! | - No offense,Jimmy.

None taken!

Actually, his insights on dealing | with parents are quite refreshing.

Wouldn't it be great if our folks | all disappeared for a while?

Oh, yeah. | Oh, hey, a shooting star!

Cool! you get to make a wish. Lucky.

What should I wish for?

I know what I'd wish for. | I'd wish for no more parents.

That way, we could do whatever | we wanted, whenever we wanted.

We'd be free! | We could have fun all the time!

yeah!

Liftoffin five. four. | three. two--

We have liftoff!

Abort mission. | Abort mission!

Goddard, wake mode.

All right, come on, boy. | Race ya to the kitchen!

Beat ya!

Hey, Mom, did you get | any more Purple Flurp?

Mom?

"Dear son/daughter--

We've gone to Florida | for an extended vacation.

Love.yourparents. "

yeah. My parents went | to Florida too.

That's weird.

From the look of it...

I'd say a lot of parents | are gone.

- Did they all go to Florida? | - Maybe they went to get juice.

I don't digest pulp well. | It makes me bloaty.

Goddard, scan | for adult life-forms.

Just as I thought. There are | no adults anywhere within radar.

They're gone. | The whole city!

No parents.

No parents!

Excuse me!

I'm letting out the cold!

I'm peeing in the shower!

Llama, llama, llama!

I'm walking up | the "down" escalator!

My clothes don't match. I'm out | in public and my clothes don't match

I'm still doin' it! | Go, go, go!

Welcome to the Candy Bar. Whoopee | cushion or non-whoopee cushion?

What'll it be, boys?

We'll have what he's throwing.

Excellent choice!

Hang on!

No skiing in the halls!

Don't make me get the protractor!

Morning, Goddard. | Oh, my head. What a night!

Oh, I'm stuffed now. | I-I couldn't have anoth--

Okay, one more.

I'm gonna have one more, | and then that'll be it.

What a battle. Are there | any survivors? Help me!

I remember my first time.

Shake it off, Neutron!

I gotta get home. Mom and Dad | might be back by now.

Come on, Goddard.

We interrupt this program | to bringyou this special report.

Hey. kknockk it off. Arnie!

Trouble in paradise.

That's what some kkids are saying | in the aftermath ofyesterday's...

"Mom and Dad are gone " | celebrations.

Here's Courtney Tyler.

What started as an awesome day | has become. likke. a real bummer.

- Help us! | - I don 't kknow how to makke lunch!

Somebody hold me!

I was playing | on the teeter-totter...

and the next thing I kknew | I was on the ground...

and my kknee hurt!

Reports oftummyaches. | "owies" and constipation...

have reached epidemic numbers | over the past few hours...

with little indication | ofslowing down.

And so we were gonna see who | could eat the most cotton candy...

and I won!

I want my mommy!

So. there you have it.

I want my mommy too!

Mom? Dad?

What kind of parents take off | and leave their kid?

And they didn't even | say good-bye!

Son. your mother and Ijust | wanted to say good night.

Yes. and to tellyou | that we love you.

We only do what we do | because we love you.

Maybe we can all go to RetroLand | next weekkend. the three of us.

What about my fabulous dog. | Goddard?

Sure. your fabulous dog. | Goddard. too.

Well. good night. son.

Good night.Jimmy. Sweet dreams. | We'll see you in the morning.

Okay, so they said good ni ght.

" In the morning"? | Hey, wait a minute!

Play back the last part again, | audio only.

Good night.Jimmy. Sweet dreams. | We'll seeyou in the morning.

There! Why would she say that | if they weren't gonna be here?

Come on, Goddard. | We're goin' to the lab.

It's just as I thought.

The serifs and kerning | on this note...

don't match | Mom and Dad's handwriting.

This note's a fake!

What is it, boy?

The long-range space scanner-- | it detected something!

Filtering out background radiation, | and there it is!

Jumpin'Jupiter! The Earth's | been visited by aliens!

Okay, so me, you and a dog...

are gonna battle an alien | civilization, right, by ourselves?

But he's a good dog. | Aren't you, boy?

The last time | we tried this,Jim...

we couldn't even break free | of the atmosphere.

I know. But I recalculated | the thrust-to-fuel ratio...

and I've adjusted the engine | accordingly.

- I can fix that. | - Neutron!

- What is it? | - An angry mob!

In times of crises, intellectuals | are always the first to go!

Well, they don't look angry.

They look like | they're about to barf.

Let me go!

you are messing with powers | beyond your mortal comprehension.

Okay, Neutron.

UltraFreak here says you really know | what happened to all our parents.

Jimmy, how ya doin'?

I didn't say nothing about our | parents being abducted by aliens--

Where's my mom and dad?

Tell us where they are!

Goddard, star map 72, please.

Right about there.

Sensors picked up ion trails | indicating the departure route...

forwhatever alien intelligence | has abducted our parents.

They lead to the Orion star system | three million light-years away.

So we'll need to leave by Friday.

Okay, that gives us about two days | to collect the plutonium...

design and test our fusion engines | and build our fleet ofwarships.

We'll also need to bring snacks. | Any questions?
