Meet The Robinsons Page #3

in charge immediately.

- Yes, sir.

- I have an appointment with destiny.

Very good, sir. I'll let Smith know,

and I'll have your dry cleaning

delivered directly to your suite.

- What?

- Now, what time is your appointment?

- Are you talking to me?

- Yes.

What time is your appointment?

Big hand is on the... Oh, 2:00!

You're the 2:
00?

Yes. Yes, I am.

You're Mary Johnson?

Yes.

Mary is short for...

Marian?

- Can that be a boy name?

- Yes.

- Then yes.

- Have a seat.

Oh, goody!

"Pass off invention as my own. " Check.

Oh, I love checklists.

The board is ready to see you now.

Wait. What am I going to say?

I'm never gonna remember that.

Would you... Why don't you go?

You do it so much better than me.

That's true.

A hat without a head

couldn't really pass off an invention

as its own.

Fantastic! Great idea!

I'm so glad I have you!

"Prepare to be amazed. " Oh, I got it!

Prepare to be amazed!

"This is my invention. "

"I doubt any of you have seen

anything as brilliant as this device. "

Very well,

Miss Johnson?

It's Ms.

You have two minutes. Please begin.

- It's shiny!

- What is that thing?

Well, I like to call it my...

To call it my...

- What are you looking at?

- No! I... The sun, in my eyes.

Well, then let me close the blinds.

Now, the name?

Well, what...

We can quibble about names

at a later date.

The point is,

what I have here is special, unique.

Yes. Yes, you must love it

and buy it and mass produce it,

and the best part is,

it's got really comfy headphones.

I wonder, could you lean forward

just a little bit, please?

Yes, thank you.

Yes, they are quite comfortable.

What do you hope

to accomplish with this?

Oh, nothing of consequence.

I simply wish to crush the dreams

of a poor little orphan boy!

After that, it's all a little fuzzy.

You mean,

you haven't thought this through?

Thirty seconds.

Allow me to show you how it works.

First, we turn it on.

That's not it.

Ten seconds.

So where do I sign?

Doris, it's all over.

All our hopes and dreams dashed,

like so many pieces

of a broken machiney thing.

You're right.

Success is still ours for the taking.

We must find that boy.

We'll sneak this thing into the garage.

You'll have all the tools you need.

What about your parents?

Mom never goes in there,

and Dad's on a business trip

until tomorrow morning.

You've got till then to fix it.

Well, fine, but I'm gonna need

some blueprints or something for this.

No worries. I got someone

who could help us with that.

Who dares to disturb my sanctuary?

Carl, it's me. Let me in.

None may enter

unless they speak the royal password.

Carl, what are you talking about?

We don't have a password.

Yes, we do.

I made one up while you were gone.

Well, then

how am I supposed to know what it is?

You...

Good point.

Welcome back, little buddy.

So what's up

with the stolen time machine?

Did you find it? Apparently not,

and you managed

to bust this one as well.

It'll be fixed before Dad gets home.

And how do you suppose

that's gonna...

- Who's that?

- Wow, a real robot!

Hi, I'm Lewis.

Well, that was unexpected.

As was that.

If my family finds out

I brought you from the past,

they'll bury me alive

and dance on my grave.

I'm not exaggerating.

Well, yes, I am, but not the point.

The point is,

your hair's a dead giveaway.

Why would my hair be

a dead giveaway?

That is an excellent question.

Wait! Where are you going?

Another excellent question.

But I don't just want to sit here.

Stay.

But...

Wow!

Hey, ring my doorbell.

No, no, no, no, ring my doorbell.

Ring it. Ring it. Ring it.

Look at this door bell. Ring it.

- Yes!

- That was accidental.

That's an accidental ring.

It doesn't count.

It's in the rule book. Look it up.

- Flat head.

- Short roots.

Evergreen.

What do you mean,

don't go to the family?

How can we not go to the family

in this time of family crisis?

By leaving the garage door unlocked,

you let the time machine get stolen,

and now the entire time stream

could be altered!

That and someone took my bike.

Look, I told you. It's gonna all work out.

First, we keep Lewis in the garage,

away from everybody.

I show up and give him

the pep talk of the century.

Then he fixes the time machine.

Why is it an acorn?

I didn't have time to sculpt everything.

Okay, now, the time machine is fixed.

His confidence in inventing is restored.

He goes back to the science fair,

fixes his Memory Scanner,

thus restoring

the space-time continuum.

What about taking him back

to see his mom?

I just told him that to buy some time.

Oh, yeah, can't see that one

blowing up in your face.

Trust me. I got it under control.

Wilbur Robinson never fails.

But on the slight chance that I do...

"On the slight chance," yeah.

You know what? I'll run the numbers.

What is it?

Well, it's not...

It doesn't pertain to anything in...

You know, there's not necessarily...

There's a 99.999999% chance

that you won't exist.

- What?

- And I didn't want to tell you, but I did.

I won't exist?

And where does that leave me?

Alone, rusting in a corner.

What am I worried about?

Now, blueprints?

If this thing ever blows over,

I really gotta get away from you

and get some quiet time.

What's...

Well, hey, there, little fella!

Now, I know what you're thinking,

and my clothes are not on backwards.

My head is!

Oh, I used to tell that one

to my science students.

They didn't laugh, either.

Anywho, what's your name, fruit-head?

- Well, Lewis, but...

- Lewis, huh?

Well, say, Lewis, you haven't seen

any teeth around here, have you?

- Teeth?

- Yeah, my teeth.

Been digging holes all day.

Can't find them anywhere.

All right, look, old man,

I need to get back to the garage.

Wilbur left me down there,

and I wasn't supposed to leave,

and these monsters...

- Monsters?

... attacked me on the porch and...

There's no monsters on the porch,

you ninny.

- Listen to me!

- Of course, I also didn't think

there was a woodchuck

living on my arm,

and lookie there!

Hope he ain't got rabies.

Old man, I need to get to the garage!

Well, sure, I'll get you there in a jiffy.

I know a shortcut.

Welcome to the garage.

Well, I'm completely lost.

Hiya, Grandpa.

Hey, Aunt Billie.

Lewis and me

are looking for the garage.

- We have a garage?

- Apparently so.

Lewis, will you give me a hand

and time my race?

Okay, Gaston,

my toy train's ready for you.

That's a toy train?

On your mark, get set, go?

- 3.7 seconds.

- I win!

Okay, Lewis, I got the blueprints.

Lewis?

- And five and six and seven and eight.

- That's Uncle Joe. He works out.

Keep those tummies tucked.

This isn't the garage.

I know.

I don't think

the garage is in here, either.

Egads! A very grave matter, indeed.

- That's Uncle Art.

- A real superhero?

Quad Four, Alpha Omega Galaxy,

needs a large

cheese-and-sausage thin-crust?
