Don't worry, honey.

I got this.

See? No problem. Oh!

Oh, man!

Run, run, run!

Head for the jungle!

Faster! Faster!

Let's go! Go! Go!

Move!

Come on!

This way!

Let's go!

Go, go, go! Move!

It's right behind you! Hurry!

Come on!

Sean!

Hey, Godzilla!

Oh, crap.

Oh, man!

Oh, go, go, go!

Come on, come on!

- Come on, keep moving!

- Hurry!

Back! Back! Back!

Sean, get behind me.

Sean, backpack!

Back! Back!

- Hank! Hank!

- Back!

Not now, Sean. She's scared!

No, she's cold-blooded

and attracted to heat!

That's emasculating.

Now what?

Now there's only one thing left.

The thunder cookie.

I think I just made it worse.

- Whoa!

- Aah!

Hope she doesn't like

Polynesian food.

I hope she don't like food

with poop in its pants!

Go, go, go!

Everybody okay?

Yeah.

Well, don't just stand there. Applaud!

Grandpa!

That was amazing.

A pitch-perfect frill-necked lizard mating call.

They fall for it all the time.

Gabato and Kailani.

- Their helicopter brought us here.

- Pleasure. Pleasure.

And I'm Sean's stepfather,

Hank Parsons.

I helped Sean crack your code.

You're the stepfather?

Well, maybe that's why

it took so long, eh?

After all, how hard can it be

to crack a code...

...by converting a string of Vernian

characters into a list of dots and dashes.

Or you could have just sent a message

not in code.

There it is, definitive proof

that you are not an Anderson.

Mm-hm.

Ooh. Ooh!

I think it's best we get out of here.

After that mating call, she may have ideas

about making you her husband.

Oh, witty. Good for you, Henry.

The name's Hank. It's never Henry.

Just Hank.

Ah. I see you're a man of incisive decision.

Why don't you lead the way?

Oh, actually...

...we want to live

through the night. Yes.

So maybe you should all...

...follow me. Come on.

Hank?

I'm following you.

All right, come on. Go ahead.

That's awesome.

Here we are, folks.

Come on up.

This is my place.

Wow.

Welcome.

We've got a working elevator,

indoor plumbing.

And I've even got...

...a 75-inch...

...HDTV.

How'd you build all this stuff?

I made it out of the sailboat that brought

me here. Old Blue-Eyed Lucy.

She gave her life in that hurricane

so that I could discover...

...the ever-glorious...

...Mysterious Island.

Smoothie?

Oh, thank you.

This the radio you used

to send the signal?

Yes. I made it myself...

...out of an alarm clock...

...some copper I mined in the hills

over there and a teaspoon.

You know how long it took me

to make it?

Oh, I don't know.

Probably a little less than...

...who cares?

Three months. You know how long...

...it would've taken you?

Ooh...

Forever. Ha-ha-ha!

Let's just contact...

...Palau, get off this island.

It's not that easy, darling.

You have to wait for the satellite...

...to come around to the proper position.

How long's that gonna take?

Oh, about two weeks.

Wait, do you mean

we're stuck here for two weeks?

"Stuck here"? I think it'll be fun.

We can get to know each other better.

Surviving here won't be fun.

How will your mom feel

if we're off the grid for two weeks?

By the time you get back,

she's probably gonna be remarried.

You gonna let him talk to you like that?

It's okay.

Okay, so, what's the plan,

Colonel Sanders?

How about you show us

more of your trinkets...

...that won't get us off this island?

Anyone else thinking about

the eggs hatching?

If you're afraid of a few critters,

maybe you shouldn't have come, Henry.

It is called the Mysterious Island.

Should've expected mysterious things.

It's right in the title.

I know what the book says.

You wanted to find Mysterious Island.

Mission accomplished.

You wanted to find your grandmother.

Mission accomplished.

At daybreak we're out of here.

And for the last time, it's Hank.

What's the hurry?

Tomorrow, I am gonna

show you a place...

...that will take your breath away.

Like forever?

You're all gonna find out.

So let's get some shut-eye.

It's a big day tomorrow.

Good nighty, honey.

- Good night, Papa.

- Good nighty.

Hey, how's it going?

Well, apart from you stranding us

on this stupid island, just fine.

Good. Good.

So, hey, I was thinking, you know,

sometime we could hang out or something...

...if you wanted to.

I have a feeling that your idea of fun and

my idea of fun are two very different things.

What do you like doing on the weekends?

Collect and label mollusks.

No way! Me too. I'm way into mollusks.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Well, which one's your favorite?

Mine's the Mxyzptlk snail.

You're not gonna believe me,

but that's my favorite too.

I just made that up.

Mxyzptlk isn't a snail.

It's one of Superman's archenemies.

Way to slay the heart.

- Whatever.

- Getting the attention of a woman...

...is one of the hardest things

to do.

All right.

So, what do I do, Casanova?

I been waiting a long time

to have this talk with you, buddy.

There are three things to know

about understanding girls.

Don't follow your instincts.

Any other area in life...

...instincts will get you there.

Not with women.

So whatever you think you should do,

do the opposite.

You need to be open, sensitive.

Women don't want a man just because

he's big and strong and has abs like mine. No.

They want a thinker, they want a feeler.

They want someone who can understand them.

Women want a man who is in touch

with his most inner emotions.

And the third thing is the most important.

It's something that women have

responded to for thousands of years.

Well, tell me.

You have got to do this.

What is that?

That is the pec pop of love.

Now go on and throw a berry.

- No.

- Throw a berry.

There's some behind you.

Grab one and throw it.

Don't be afraid, they're not gonna bite.

Boom.

Go ahead, grab a bunch.

Rapid-fire, now.

I'm not doing rapid-fire.

They will not stop until you feed them.

Feed them? No.

They're hungry.

I'll feed them.

Attaboy. Get some.

Okay, you ready? Ready?

Here we go.

Ooh. Ooh.

Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh.

Ooh. Ooh.

Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh.

Stop.

Ready? This one's special.

Make this one count.

Mmm. No way, that's awesome.

Stop encouraging him.

It's a gift.

- It is a gift.

- He has a gift.

Sean, it works every time.

Come on, Gabby.

Get a move on.

Where's he going?

I don't know, but if this goes on

much longer, he'll blow a hip. Come on.

Oh! I'm going.

Come on, come on.

We're almost there.

Get ready, Gabby.

I'm about to take your breath away.

Wow!

Unbelievable.

How do you like Grandma now?

Hello!

No one's been home

for thousands of years, Gabby.

Can anybody guess...

...what all this is?

Do you know?

Legoland?

No.

Well, that's Poseidon.

- Can you move this?

- Yeah.

Atlantis.

I can't believe it.

We're standing in

the lost city of Atlantis.

The same Atlantis that Verne

wrote about, down to the last detail.

But wasn't Atlantis underwater?

Oh, when Verne wrote about it, it was,

but it has a 140-year cycle...

...and spends half its time
