- What?

Sherm! How's life in the fat lane?

Vince Latello, comedian.

You guys lost or something?

We're not lost, Sherman.

We came for... a book.

- A car book?

- No, not a car book.

A book about... strange things.

- Like Vince?

- Sayonara, big nose. Hold me back.

Take it easy. Look, Sherman,

we just want this book. Help us out, OK?

- OK.

- OK.

What kind of strange things?

Well... sort of like stuff...

Stuff vanishes then stuff comes in from other

times, but you can't touch the stuff.

- 'Cause it kinda disappeared.

- Like you if you flap your fish lips again!

- That sounds like magic which is section...

- No, magic's make-believe.

Yeah, we're talking about

the flip side of reality.

Well, this is the science section.

It's about as real as you can get.

What's the title?

What?

Author.

- I don't know.

- Well, what's it about?

Monsters, flying lawn-mowers, weird sh*t!

No, no. It's about these two guys, right?

They go into this room and these things

come in and out of the walls.

- Sounds weird all right.

- See, these guys leave this room.

- It's two hours into the future.

- Only it felt like ten minutes to the two guys.

That sounds like

we're dealing with a time-space warp.

- A time-space what?

- Warp. A time-space warp.

- How does it work?

- Simple.

It's kinda like breaking through the barriers

between time, space and all dimensions.

You mean outer space?

Yeah. Right.

- So, they're all connected?

- Precisely.

They coexist within the same space

on different planes of reality, that's all.

So, like, something could warp in

from one dimension to another?

- Sure, but only if the warp got outta control.

- Outta control how?

Einstein theorised it would take great power

to break through a barrier.

The danger is, once you unleash the power,

you'd lose control of it.

- Yeah, and then what?

- Earth's energy field would go crazy.

A chain reaction could start.

Weather could change.

And boom! You're all cosmic dust!

- Hey, Mike. Banks!

- What?

We point the gizmo at the greenery. Bammo!

It vanishes into our car. We make a fortune!

Your pilot light is out.

- Well, what do we do with it?

- It's my science project, remember?

Turn it in, get my diploma

and kiss this school goodbye.

- You're pullin' my zucchini.

- You got a better suggestion?

Yeah. I say we sell it to "60 Minutes".

"60 Minutes"?

- See ya.

- There he is. Bob!

- Listen, about the...

- You cut my science final. Where were you?

- In the auto shop.

- In the ozone.

In the ozone, blow zone!

I'm tired of you four Fs.

I'll tell you one thing, unless your project

is dyno-supreme, you both get Ds.

- Hey, I'll take it.

- I wanted to talk about my science project.

Maybe you'd come by and take a look at it.

I'm off to an anti-war alumni meeting

and I'm late. Can you dig it?

- You're the only one who'd understand this.

- Don't bet on it.

- Give us a break.

- All right.

- I'll be here grading papers at nine o'clock.

- Nine o'clock?

What are we fighting for?

Don't ask me I don't give a damn

Next stop is Vietnam

So how come you didn't tell him?

- We got a door to the "Twilight Zone"?

- You're gonna blow his doors off with this!

- Yeah. You got any change, Vinnie?

- School tax, jellyfish. Come on.

Here. Drift!

He had to take a leak.

- Hello.

- Hey, Ellie, It's me, MichaeI,

- Hi, Michael.

- Would you like to go out tonight?

- Sure. I'd like to.

- Could you bring your camera?

- My camera?

- To take pictures,

We're not going to a junkyard, are we?

To a great life.

You're all mine.

You're all mine.

- What the hell happened here?

- Oh, Mike!

How do you like the colour scheme?

Delores did it.

You remember Delores?

Hello, Michael.

It's so lovely to see you again.

Lovely. Lovely.

I hardly recognise the place.

I know we shouldn't have gone off to Reno

to get married like lovesick puppies!

Don't worry, sugarplum.

I'll have a talk with him.

You are going to socialise

with your new stepmother.

Do I make myself clear?

Stepmother?!

Quiet, Skipper.

Eyes right!

Burn it!

Any time, Vinnie.

Vinnie?

Open sesame!

Watch out, watch out.

What is this? Night school?

- Something's going on around here.

- What did they rip off in the auto shop?

"Who's the father of the H-bomb?

Boy George. "

That's nuclear power for ya.

- Sorry we're late.

- I'd given up on you guys.

I really appreciate this. Here it is.

What is it? Put it on the table.

I'll get a look at it.

You don't know what it is?

I'm just testing you guys!

Yeah.

OK. Now, watch this.

Press these two things, right?

See those lights?

Weird!

- Yeah.

- Listen when I pull these levers out.

And back.

Pretty amazing, huh, Bob?

- It's incredible, huh?

- Psychedelic!

- Go on. Touch it.

- Yeah?

Go ahead.

What we should do first

is find out what metal this is.

Here we go.

Have you seen my neo-spector?

Let's just...

It's unreal. I mean...

It doesn't... It doesn't show up

on our metal spector.

I mean, it's some sort of...

It's some sort of power plant.

Hear that, Mike? It's an engine!

- An engine for what?

- Wait, where did you guys dig this up?

- Michael found it at the...

- No. I found it at the...

at the old junk yard outside of town,

Sam's place.

I'd like to know whose it was.

This is generating

power and light without heat, Michael.

- How is that possible?

- It's not possible.

I mean, not on this world, anyway.

Whoa! What world are we talking about?

- It's broken.

- Vinnie, get that battery.

Wait. Bob, why would that be broken?

Because if it isn't broken, Michael,

this is older than Earth. All right?

Bob, wait until you see this.

Hook it up, Vinnie.

- No. You hook it up.

- I did it last time..

- I'm not going near this thing.

- Vinnie, please...

Wait! I'll hook it up.

OK, Bob.

It goes on these things.

All right.

- Look at that.

- Wow!

I seen lights like this

at a Ozzy Osbourne concert.

Can you imagine the advanced

alien civilisation that created this?

I mean, this is...

This is bigger than all of us.

This is... This is bigger.

Bigger than any of us.

This is bigger than the planet.

It's...

It's even bigger than the solar system.

Bob, is this like when you said

we could smoke banana peel?

Oh, ye of little faith!

- What is it, Bob?

- I'll tell you what it is.

It's a time-space warp

that's created by this gizmo

and we can travel through time and space.

Yeah? Let's call "People" magazine.

No. I vote we tell the police.

The pigs? No pigs! No. No!

- Unhook it, Vince.

- No!

Don't you touch that, Vince.

It's an implosion meltdown.

Whoa. It slimed out the battery.

- What shall we do, Bob?

- I'll show you what we'll do.

Who hit the lights? What's going on?

Forget it. Let's do it anyway. Come on.

All right! Let's do it! Let's go!

- Mr Roberts!

- What's going on?

The dimension barriers.

They're breaking away. It is! It is a gateway.

- Disconnect it, Vinnie.

- No, Mike. You disconnect it!
