Meet The Robinsons Page #6

you just come over.

- Mom.

- The truth is, we love having you.

- We really have to go.

- No.

No, you don't. You have to stay.

I mean, who would be a better family

for you than us?

What do you say, Lewis?

Do you want to be a Robinson?

You want to adopt me?

- Yeah!

- Yes!

Okay, it's true. I'm from the past.

Now you know the big secret.

Wilbur, what have you done?

How could you bring him here?

That is an excellent question.

Please, don't get mad at Wilbur.

He was just being a good friend.

Lewis, I am so sorry,

but you have to go.

What? You just said...

I know what I said.

I'm from the past. So what?

Lewis. Lewis, look at me. You're...

You're a great kid,

and we would never do anything

to hurt you,

but I'm sorry.

You have to go back to your own time.

Yeah, about that,

one of the time machines is broken,

and the other one was stolen

by a guy with a bowler hat,

which kind of explains the dino.

I'm calling your father.

Wait. If I have to leave,

can I at least go back

and find my mom?

Wilbur promised.

You promised what?

I was never gonna do it. I swear!

- You lied to me?

- No!

Yes.

Lewis! Lewis, wait!

I can't believe I was dumb enough

to actually believe you were my friend!

I am your friend!

Mister, you're grounded till you die.

Oh, yes, Doris, it is a shame.

All he wants to do is go back in time

to meet the mother he never knew,

but they won't let him.

We'd let him, though.

Too bad

we don't have a time machine.

Oh, wait. We do.

Bowler Hat Guy?

- Hello, Lewis.

- What do you want?

To make your dream come true.

All you have to do is put

Humpty Dumpty back together again,

and we'll take you back

to find your mommy.

Lewis!

Let's just talk about this, Lewis.

Come on!

I know you're around here somewhere.

Lewis!

I can't imagine why you're so interested

in this piece of junk.

That's for me to know

and you to find out.

Now, show me how to work this thing.

It doesn't work. Never did.

Well, supposing it did,

and if one were presenting

the invention to, say,

a board of directors

for a very large invention company,

where might one find the "On" switch?

Hypothetically speaking, of course.

All right, first, you turn this knob twice,

then push this red button,

and that's it. It's pretty easy.

What a stupid way to turn it on!

Okay, take me to see my mom now.

Yes, of course.

Doris?

We had a deal!

Crossies! Doesn't count.

Why are you doing this to me?

I never did anything to you.

You still haven't figured it out?

Figured out what?

Well, let's see if this rings a bell.

Father of the Future,

inventor extraordinaire,

"Keep moving forward"?

That's not me. That's Wilbur's dad.

Are you saying

that I'm Wilbur's dad?

Give the boy a prize.

You grew up to be the founder

of this wretched time,

so I plan to destroy your destiny.

- Easy peasy, rice and cheesy.

- Well...

So if I'm Wilbur's dad...

Keep going.

If I'm Wilbur's dad...

Yes, thank you, we've established that.

But what does that have to do

with you?

Allow me to shed some light

on the subject.

My old room!

I think you mean our old room.

- What?

- Yes! Yes, it is I,

Mike Yagoobian!

I know.

I'm disgusting, but one learns to love it.

How did you end up like this?

Well, it's a long and pitiful story

about a young boy with a dream,

a dream of winning

a Little League championship,

a dream that was ruined

in the last inning.

We lost by one run because of me.

Get him!

If I hadn't fallen asleep,

I would have caught the ball!

And we would have won!

Do you understand?

For some reason,

no one wanted to adopt me.

Whiz kid Cornelius Robinson

graduates from college at age 14.

This year's Nobel Prize goes

to a young Cornelius Robinson.

Hey, Goob, what's up? Cool binder.

Hey, Goob,

wanna come over to my house today?

They all hated me.

Eventually, they closed down

the orphanage and everyone left,

except me.

Cornelius Robinson rebuilds Inventco.

- Robinson reaches out to...

- It's new name,

- Robinson Industries.

- Cornelius Robinson!

- Cornelius Robinson is now...

- Now here's another amazing...

It was then

that I realised it wasn't my fault.

It was yours.

If you hadn't kept me up all night

working on your stupid project,

then I wouldn't have missed the catch,

so I devised a brilliant plan

to get my revenge.

Robinson, you stink!

Then, just as I was on the brink

of destroying Robinson Industries,

I met her.

We retreated to our villainous lair,

where Doris spun a tale

of deception and woe.

Apparently, you invented her

to be a Helping Hat,

a slave to humankind,

but Doris knew she was capable

of so much more.

However, you didn't see

her true potential.

- Got it.

- So you shut her down,

or so you thought.

We both had a score

to settle with you,

and while my plan for revenge

was brilliant, Doris' was...

Well, we went with Doris',

but I made

a very, very important contribution.

Together we made the perfect team.

Wilbur!

Make sure you shut that door tight,

or else the alarm won't engage.

Yeah, Mom.

I went to your house,

snuck in the garage

and stole the time machine,

all thanks to that pointy-haired little kid

who forgot to lock the garage door.

And now all that's left

is to return to Inventco,

where I'll pass off

your little gizmo as my own.

But you have no idea

what that could do to this future!

I don't care. I just want to ruin your life.

Goob, I had no idea.

Shut up! And don't call me Goob!

How many evil villains do you know

who can pull off a name like Goob?

Look, I'm sorry

your life turned out so bad,

but don't blame me.

You messed it up yourself.

You just focused on the bad stuff

when all you had to do was

let go of the past

and keep moving forward.

Let's see.

Take responsibility for my own life

or blame you.

"Blame you" wins hands down!

This is gonna be

the best day of my life!

Doris, would you be a dear

and open the hatch for me, please?

No!

Well, I hate to foil your evil plan

and run, but ta-ta!

But...

I bet you're glad to see me.

That's for not locking the garage door.

You know about that?

I know everything.

You gotta admit,

this will be a great story

to tell me someday.

Look at that, boys.

We're almost home free.

Oh, no!

Take a good look around, boys,

because your future

is about to change.

Lewis, you have to fix

the time machine.

No. No, I can't.

What about your dad?

You could call him.

- You are my dad.

- But that's in the future.

There won't be a future

unless you fix the time machine.

Look, I messed up.

I left the garage unlocked,

and I've tried like crazy to fix things,

but now it's up to you.

You can do it, Dad.

- Lewis? Lewis!

- Wilbur? Wilbur!

Wilbur.

Mrs Robinson? Uncle Art? Lefty?

Prepare to be amazed.

I call it the Memory Scanner.

So, Yagoobian, any other ideas

you'd like to share with us?

Yes. I call them Helping Hats.

They're everywhere!
