Hey, you know. | maybe the numbers are addresses.

LAURA:
The names | are numbered on this map.

Maybe it means | longitude and latitude.

LAURA:
Oh, come on.

ADAM:
This is a little map. | It's just the streets here.

I don't see any longitude.

FLYNCH:
Yeah, but why don't | we try La Cienega?

[Crickets chirping]

Hey, Armpit!

What were those numbers | on that clue again?

Armpit!

36, 37, 38!

Let's see, this started exactly | 38 feet from the corner...

it's the 22nd from the east | and the 23rd from the west.

You guys think | that means anything?

Perhaps it's in code.

4, 5, 6, 7, 8...

-Say... | -9, 10...

Eleven! Hey. | how'd you like to--Ooh!

[Screaming]

Where were we?

I don't know, I lost count.

I wonder if Peggy and Lulu | are having any better luck.

[Clapping]

What can I say?

I need someone new

afraid to love me

to the stars above me

will come along

But it's you, baby who...

This is Hanrold.

Just thought | I'd let you know...

that I already solved | your difficult clue.

We're already | at the Observatory.

Game's too easy, Leon.

in about an hour.

[Hangs up]

[Radios overlapping]

[Beeps]

Well, sure is | a clear night anyway.

You can even see the stars.

What did you say?

I said you can | even see the star--

Hey, that's it!

the wrong kinds of stars!

Ha ha ha!

[Tires squeal]

Marvin, you sure those numbers | are telescope settings?

Yeah, but | where's the telescope?

Hey, you guys, look! | In the periscope!

ADAM:
Aw, great.

Come on, you guys. | over here!

There it is.

Excuse me, but do you mind...

if I take a quick peek | through there?

No way, Jos! | I was here first.

[Sighs]

I'm sorry. | but this is very important.

Dad!

What's the matter with you? | My kid's studying Venus.

It's for his term paper.

[Music playing]

[Shouting]

Come on, keep looking.

That clue's got to be | around here someplace.

If I'm lucky, I may be able to | get a view of Venus' two moons.

[Shouting echoing]

They're getting closer!

Come on, guys. | Let's check out that other room.

Hey, Lavitus!

Come take a look | at this thing, will you?

Hey, Armpit, be careful!

I am being careful, OK?

[Glass breaks]

Hey, Einstein. | Isn't Venus over there?

Well, son, you want | to let me have a look?

Dad, let's go look | at the magnetic exhibit.

Magnetic exhibit. | [Sighs]

Hey, Flynch, remind me | to bring you back here...

when we have more time.

Marvin, would you turn this | to the right setting?

OK, go ahead.

Now, 22-43-68.

ADAM:
Easy.

Easy now.

Hey, I found it!

"To unlock the next clue...

"find the 8800 keys!"

-Hey, all right! | -Ha ha ha!

[Banging]

Hey, what are you doing | with that telescope?

Telescope? Oh, this?

Don't waste your time, you guys.

We've already checked out | everything in this room.

Yeah.

Listen, why don't you | go check downstairs?

-And we'll meet you-- | -I got a better idea.

Why don't you guys | go check downstairs?

OK. Lavitus, if you insist.

After you, Marvin.

[Laughing]

[Telescope whirs]

Who do you think | you're dealing with here?

Out of here!

Meet you down there. | See you downstairs.

Go! Go!

This is it!

[Talking and laughing]

of these things before.

This here's big, isn't it?

You see the moon?

[Music playing]

Hey, Lavitus, what is it?

Lavitus?

[Telephone rings]

Hello? Game Control.

-Hi. Donna! | -There!

Thanks, Leon, the Red Team's | at the Observatory.

[Knock on door]

I'll get it.

[Banging]

[Radios blaring]

Leon. | we can hardly hear the TV...

with all the noise | that's coming from up here!

Just what's going on?

Mr. Thorpe! I'm very sorry | about all the noise.

Won't you come in?

[Radios blaring]

Welcome to Game Control.

I don't know what this is. | but you'd better--

Look! A strategy board!

Wally, Edna, it's just like | I was telling you!

During the war, when | I worked for the government...

I worked on the strategy board.

Leon, what is going on?

At this very moment, | there are five teams...

[Laughing]

what are you doing?

Harold!

Mmf!

Harold, are you eating?

Are you sure you don't have | any food in there?

Come on!

You know Lucille | just can't wait...

for her wittle Harold to | lose his wittle spare tire.

Then maybe this summer...

Harold can take his shirt | off at the beach! Huh?

[Laughing]

Hey, Harold. | look what Melio can do!

La-la-la-la!

Would you idiots get up and | help me find the stupid clue?

Hey, Adam, doesn't that kid | look like your brother?

That is my brother!

Hey! Hey, Scott. | what are you doing out here?

Trying to get me in trouble?

It's a good thing Mom and Dad | are still out of town.

They'd really be mad at me | if they knew you were out here.

I'm responsible for you.

San Francisco?

[Jeep honks]

If I weren't right in | the middle of something...

I'd take you back home | this minute.

But for now, you'll just have | to come along with us!

[Sobs]

Where the hell is the clue?

[Crying]

[Playing piano]

[Organ plays]

[Music swells]

[Harpsichord plays]

I found the clue!

[Music stops]

Well, what's it say?

This note's an "A"...

that's a "B."

Then there's | an A-A-G-F-E-F-E-E!

Oh! It's all scrambled up.

What's it mean, honeybuns?

How should I know?

That's why my dad | gave me a computer!

[Tires squealing]

[Shouting]

Oof!

Oh! Excuse me, Adam. | My hand must have slipped.

Ha ha ha!

[Players yelling]

Come on, we'd better hurry!

Aren't you coming, Scott?

This game is stupid.

Who cares about it anyway?

E...F...E...E.

[Static] There.

[Clicking] There.

[Banging]

There! There! There!

-Gimme that! | -Aah! Harold!

-Harold! | -Ow!

[Low conversations]

Hey. guys! Look!

[Playing notes]

Wait a second. | I'd know that song anywhere.

on my mind

It's the Pabst | Blue Ribbon beer song!

The next clue must be | at the Pabst brewery!

ALL:
Thanks. Blaylak!

[Laughing]

Pabst Blue Ribbon

Ohhh

Pabst Blue Ribbon

It's beautiful.

Ohhh

Ohh

Come on, guys. Let's go.

Whoo! It's getting cold.

Adam, are you sure minors | are allowed in there?

Flynch, sometimes | I don't believe you.

Are you going to be like this | all your life?

The only way to get anywhere | in life is to have confidence.

So, come on, let's go in there | and win this game.

Right!

-Ha ha! | -Yeah!

[Giggling] Yeah!

There's fun stuff!

And eating!

[Giggling]

BOTH:
Ooh!

Oh, no, there they go!

[Sighs]

That's it! | This is the last time...

we're going through this | with the two of them!

Harold, how long do you | intend to keep driving around...

without knowing | where we're going?

Barf, have you unscrambled | those letters yet?

Faga beefe?

Faga beefe. | [Laughs] Melio, faga--

Shut up!

Ladies and gentlemen. | welcome to the cool...

refreshing world | of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer.

and follow me, please.

in the brewing process...

Beer!

[Rattling]

Come on. Over here.

on my mind

2.4 million bottles | a day are filled...

with refreshing, ice-cold. | frosty Pabst Blue Ribbon.

[Shouting]

No! Unh! [Sobbing]

No, please! [Crying]
