I'll be there in 30 minutes, or it's free.

- He's a...

- Pizza delivery guy.

Lewis?

- What are we doing up here?

- Looking for the garage.

Oh, yeah!

Laszlo, you stop painting my hat,

or I'm telling Ma!

- Lighten up, sis!

- Lasz, I mean it!

Children, please!

Your mother is trying to take a nap.

What is all the yelling out here?

- He started it!

- She started it!

I don't want to hear any more!

- Now, sweetie...

- Don't you "sweetie" me!

I'm going for a drive!

That's strange.

She usually takes the Harley.

Lewis!

I think my wife Lucille's baking cookies.

Bake them cookies, Lucille!

Why is your dog wearing glasses?

Oh, 'cause his insurance

won't pay for contacts.

That's Uncle Spike,

and there's Uncle Dimitri.

- Oh, look, there's...

- That's the monster!

Oh, no, Lewis, that's our butler, Lefty.

Nice to meet you.

Hey, Lefty,

any idea how to get to the garage?

Well, that's true. We didn't ask her yet.

- Who?

- Wilbur's mom, Franny.

I think you'll like her.

Hey, guys!

You ask me over

And over and over

Have you seen

My peacock-feathered hat?

Frogs?

Taught them everything they know.

- Franny, this is Lewis.

- Nice to meet you, ma'am.

Perfect timing.

We need someone on maracas.

Where is your heart at?

Nobody knows that

Even though you've him, her, me

And an army searching

I've got a feeling

You will be reeling

When you are bad

And the circus comes to town

Grandpa, I think I found your teeth.

And you see me leaving

Dressed up as a magician

Or something like that

Sarsaparilla! My teeth are back!

Ring-a-ding-ding.

All right!

Right. Well, glad I could help

with the teeth,

but, wow, look at the time.

Lewis, I told you to stay in the garage!

I did, but I went up the tube,

and I ran into your family, and I...

You met my family?

Pop quiz.

Who have you met,

and what have you learnt?

Okay. Bud, Fritz and Joe are brothers.

Fritz is married to Petunia, and is she...

Cranky? Yes.

Tallulah and Laszlo are their children.

Joe is married to Billie.

Lefty is the butler.

Spike and Dimitri are twins,

and I don't know who they're related to.

Neither do we. Go on.

Lucille is married to Bud,

and your dad, Cornelius, is their son.

What does Cornelius look like?

Tom Selleck.

Okay, Cornelius is married to Franny,

and her brothers are Gaston and Art.

You're forgetting something.

Forgetting? Oh, right.

Wilbur is the son

of Franny and Cornelius.

And nobody realised

you were from the past?

Nope.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hold your applause.

Thank you very much.

Doris, get it off! Get it off!

I've got you now.

Lewis!

No, Lewis is my stupid roommate.

My name's Mike Yagoobian.

People call me Goob,

but today, everyone that beat me up

called me "puke face"

and "butterfingers"

and "booger breath. "

Nice to see that they're branching out.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...

Well, I was just looking for Lewis.

Try the roof.

He's always up there being dumb.

Of course. Why didn't I think of that?

Mr Steak, you're my only friend.

Game didn't go so well, huh?

No, I fell asleep in the ninth inning,

and I missed the winning catch.

Then I got beat up.

Afterwards, Coach took me aside

and told me to let it go.

I don't know. He's probably right.

No!

Everyone will tell you to let it go

and move on, but don't.

Instead, let it fester

and boil inside of you.

Take these feelings

and lock them away.

Let them fuel your actions.

Let hate be your ally,

and you will be capable

of wonderfully horrid things.

Heed my words, Goob. Don't let it go.

What?

Where is that boy?

Good idea!

Separate and look for clues.

Look, my dear! Look what I found!

It's a stick.

Now, what did you find?

Yes. Yes, I see.

Time travel residue next to DNA

from Wilbur Robinson.

That plus my stick must mean...

To the future! Shotgun!

I don't even know what I'm doing.

Keep moving forward.

I mean,

this stuff is way too advanced for me.

Keep moving forward.

And what if I can't fix this?

What are we gonna do?

Keep moving forward.

Why do you keep saying that?

And don't just say,

"Keep moving forward. "

It's my dad's motto.

Why would his motto be

"keep moving forward"?

It's what he does.

What's that supposed to mean?

That is an excellent question.

Robinson Industries,

the world's leading

scientific-research-and-design factory.

My dad runs the company.

They mass produce his inventions.

His motto, "Keep moving forward. "

It's what he does.

- What has he invented?

- Everything.

Carl, the time machine,

the travel tubes.

Your dad invented the time machine?

Yep. Five years ago,

Dad wakes up in the middle

of the night in a cold sweat.

He wants to build a time machine,

so he starts working.

We're talking plans.

We're talking scale models.

We're talking prototypes.

That's a prototype?

- The very first, or what's left of it.

- Yikes.

Yeah. Dark day at the Robinson house.

Prototypes two and three,

not much better.

Number six, 58,

and they all end the same way.

But he doesn't give up.

Dude, I can't take you seriously

in that hat.

He keeps working and working

until finally he gets it,

the first working time machine.

Then he keeps working and working

until finally he gets it again,

the second working time machine.

Kind of small.

I'm assuming that's a joke.

I'm ignoring you for time reasons.

This, my friend, is merely a model

because, unfortunately,

time machine number two

is in the hands of the Bowler Hat Guy.

- Pretty amazing story, huh?

- Yeah.

Now, are you ready to start working?

I think that's it. I did it!

I knew you could.

Nice work, my friend.

Well, you know what they say!

"Keep moving... "

Don't say it!

Boys! Dinner time!

Not now, Mom!

If you aren't up here in five minutes,

I'm gonna come down and get you!

We'd better get up there.

Let's get that boy!

Sit here?

But I want to look, too.

A mini-Doris!

I didn't even know you could do that.

It's so cute.

Let's take her out for a spin.

Sorry.

Teamwork.

Sorry.

Sorry!

There you are.

Now, to lure him out of the house.

I know! I'll blow it up! Yes!

Yes, and... No.

No, that won't work. Then he'll be dead.

Oh! I know!

I'll turn him into a duck!

Yes! Yes, it's so evil!

I don't know how to do that.

I don't really need a duck.

This may be harder than I thought.

Hey, ring my doorbell.

No, no, no, no, ring this doorbell.

That doorbell will give you a rash.

Yes! I'm two for two, man.

If they don't do it on purpose,

it doesn't count.

- Come on. Read your rule book.

- You know what?

You can take your rule book

and shove it right...

I don't believe in fretting or grieving

Why mess around with strife?

Guess I was cut out

To step out and strut out

Give me the simple life

Ladies and gentlemen,

dinner is served.

Dinner is served.

Dinner is served.

Hooray! Italian food.

I want a sloppy joe!

Oh, Billie,

could you please pass the gravy?
