Doris, what's happening?

I don't understand.

I just wanted to ruin his future, not this.

No!

No. No, this can't be happening! No!

Oh, Lewis, it's already happened.

Why did I ever invent that stupid hat?

Take a good look around, Doris,

'cause your future's about to change.

Goob, stop!

You don't know what you're doing!

Yes, I do. I'm ruining your future.

She's using you, Goob,

and when she gets what she wants,

she'll get rid of you.

What? What?

I am never going to invent you.

Come on, Goob.

I've got to show you something.

Doris?

I thought she was my friend.

You did it, Lewis. You did it!

I'll hold him while you run for help.

Let him go.

What are you doing? He's the bad guy.

No, he's not. He's my roommate.

- What?

- He's my old roommate,

and I really think

you guys should adopt him.

- Are you nuts?

- Give me one good reason why not.

I'll give you three good reasons.

He stole our time machine,

tried to ruin your future,

and he smells

like he hasn't showered in 30 years!

May I remind you, I'm your father,

and you have to do what I say.

Okay, Mr Yagoobian,

do you want to be a...

- Where'd he go?

- Goob?

Goob!

Goob.

Are you hurt? Any broken bones?

- No, I'm...

- Do you have a temperature?

- Brain fog?

- Scurvy?

- Tapeworm?

- Cellulite?

No. No, no, I'm fine. I feel fine.

In fact,

better than I've felt in a long time.

Franny, they're gone.

Oh, this is terrible!

- Oh, boy.

- Well, he's home early.

Franny, where are you?

The time machines are gone!

Ratted out by the old lady.

Harsh.

Okay.

Yeah, beats working

in an office every day.

Yeah, no kidding.

Hey!

Want to see the one I'm most proud of?

Yeah.

Oh, no, no, no. That one.

It was our first real invention.

It's the one that started it all.

Wowie.

So if I go back now,

then this will be my future.

Well, that depends on you.

Nothing is set in stone.

You gotta make the right choices

and keep moving forward.

Since it's gonna work this time,

that means I...

We won't finally get to see

what Mom looks like?

Do we ever meet her?

I think

you're just gonna have to get back

to that science fair

and find out for yourself.

I had a feeling

you were gonna say that.

That's because we are one smart kid.

- So long!

- Bye-bye, Lewis!

- Farewell, future brother-in-law.

- So long! See you later, Lewis!

Oh, don't forget the mashed potatoes!

- Have a safe trip, little Lewis.

- I will.

Hey, while I got you here,

just a couple of little suggestions

regarding my design.

Let's face it, these skinny limbs

don't exactly make the teapot whistle.

All that really matters is,

hey, don't forget to invent me.

- Are you kidding? No way!

- I love you.

There's so many things

I wish I could ask you.

Excuse me.

Time travel now, questions later.

- But I...

- Don't worry.

Just get back to that science fair,

and we'll see you real soon.

Oh, right. Right, okay, I will. Bye.

- Goodbye, son.

- Thanks again for everything!

- Wait. Lewis, one more thing.

- Yeah?

Just a little tip for the future.

I am always right.

Even when I'm wrong, I'm right.

She's right.

I'd just go with it if I were you.

And I am.

Then you're absolutely right.

All right, I'm coming.

Well, it's not like

you're never gonna see them again.

They are your family, after all.

Wait a minute.

You're supposed to take me back

to the science fair.

I know.

Well, I think

you punched in the wrong numbers.

We agreed that,

if you fixed the time machine,

I'd take you back to see your mom.

What?

A deal's a deal.

I don't get it. Why'd you just let her go?

Because I already have a family.

I never thought my dad

would be my best friend.

Now, now, don't make me come

and bail you out again.

I won't.

Remember, I've got a time machine.

If you mess up again,

I'll just keep coming back

till you get it right.

- You got that motto?

- I got it.

Don't forget it.

I don't think that's possible.

You better get going.

See you later, Wilbur.

Wait a minute!

Goob! Goob, wake up!

What?

That's it!

Mr Willerstein,

I know what went wrong.

Can I have one more chance? Please!

My ride isn't here yet, so fire it up.

I need a volunteer.

Now, just give me a date to input.

Well, now, let's see.

There's my first science fair,

the day I got my first microscope,

the time I swam the English Channel,

my first gold medal for the luge.

I know.

Perfect!

- You look gorgeous.

- He's a lucky guy.

Oh! It works.

- It works!

- It works.

You look beautiful, Lucille.

Bud?

- Would you look at that?

- Whoa!

Honey! Honey, you're just in time.

- Lucille!

- You did it, Lewis! You did it!

This invention is brilliant!

Kid, you're this fair's MVP!

That was some show you put on.

You're a real special kid,

but you don't look like a Lewis.

You look more like a...

Cornelius. I get that a lot.

Oh, no! Sorry, mister.

No harm done.

Frankie, what have I told you

about running away?

- Frankie?

- My star pupil.

My name's Franny,

and I teach frogs music.

Really?

You know that frogs

have more musical ability than people?

But nobody believes me.

They all think I'm crazy.

You think I'm crazy, too.

No. No, I think you're right.

Over here? There he is.

Kid, we'd like to get a story

on you for the local paper.

You've got a bright future ahead of you.

Let it go

Yeah.

Let it roll right off your shoulder

Don't you know

The hardest part is over

Let it in

Let your clarity define you

In the end

We will only just remember

How it feels

Let it slide

Let your troubles fall behind you

Let it shine

Until you feel it all around you

And I don't mind

If it's me you need to turn to

We'll get by

It's the heart that really matters

In the end

Our lives are made

In these small hours

These little wonders

These twists and turns of fate

Time falls away

But these small hours

These small hours still remain

All of my regret

Will wash away somehow

But I cannot forget

The way I feel right now

The future has arrived

The future has arrived

The future has arrived

The future has arrived

The future's arrived

Nobody can doubt

The future is what everything's about

It's better for you

And it's better for me

It's better than what everybody

Thought it would be

The future has arrived

The future has arrived today

The future's alive

Alive as can be

Just open your eyes

It's plain to see

Just don't be afraid

Just keep going on

One step at a time

And you can't go wrong

It's time to create

Time to grow

If you feel right

The world, yeah

She's changing

Don't it make you feel alive?

The future has arrived

The future has arrived today

The future's alive

The future is alive today

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

The future's arrived

Nobody can doubt

The future is what everything's about

It's better for you

It's better for me

It's better than what everybody

Thought it would be

It's time to create

Time to grow

If you feel right

The world, yeah
