Tony, why can't I

get through to you?

Tony?

I'll pick up the new

transistors, make a few stops.

Be back later on.

[Letha] don't worry.

Everything's

under control.

Tony.

This is Letha wedge,

Commanding you

to open your eyes.

Now, stand up.

We're going to the museum

for education and profit.

[brakes squeak]

Tony and I will do

a little... Sightseeing.

[indistinct chatter]

[Tia] wait.

Gold! I see gold.

- Hey it's mine.

- Where is it?

- Hey, give it to me!

- No!

A stagecoach.

She must be tuned in

on a western.

Yeah.

I see dummies.

[both] that's you.

No. Old things.

Clothing.

Hey, he's at

the salvation army.

Nah, they don't got stagecoaches

at the salvation army.

They don't got gold,

neither.

Wait a minute,

wait a minute!

We had one of them

nothing school trips.

To the museum.

Yeah, they got

a pile of gold.

And a stagecoach.

They had to kick me out.

We've got to go there.

Come on,

it's over here.

[kids grunting]

[indistinct chatter]

[tires screech]

Now, Tony.

We're going to create

a little diversion.

The stagecoach.

I want you to roll it

all around the museum.

[woman gasps]

[woman] look out.

[man] watch it.

[man] watch out for that thing,

it's coming this way.

Hey, where are

the horses?

I... Don't know.

Now cause total chaos.

[man] watch out.

[yelps]

Short circuit

the control system.

[control system buzzes]

[indistinct yelling]

[guard screams]

Oh, no.

Letha!

Letha!

[indistinct shouting]

[chortling]

- [gasps]

- look out.

[man] get out of my way.

[moaning]

[guards yell]

[man] can't you put

that thing out?

Come on, take a shot.

Move it.

Now, Tony,

Make a hole

in the plastic shield.

And it doesn't have to be neat.

Tony, unstack the gold bars

and deliver them to Mr. Sickle.

[man] move it buddy, move it.

We gotta get out of here!

Las Vegas,

here we come.

Oh!

- Look.

Tony, make them

go faster.

Hey, Letha! Hey, Letha!

[indistinct chatter]

Look out, lady.

Yeah, why don't you watch where

you're going, you big dummy.

[gasps]

[man] look out, Eddie!

[Letha] Tony, what's happening?

[Tony] molecular flow reversing.

- Are you doing this?

- No.

Then who is?

It would have to be

one of my people.

- There are more like you?

- Yes.

- Oh! Let's get out of here.

- [Tia] Tony!

Tony!

Who's that?

It's my sister.

My sister, Tia.

This is no time

for a family reunion.

[crowd murmuring]

[victor] Letha!

Tony!

[victor] you fool!

How could you do this?

[Letha] not now.

- [door shuts]

- [engine sticking]

- What's wrong?

- I don't know.

I keep it running perfect.

It's Tony's sister, she did it.

She's as weird as he is.

Tony, I command you to

make this car run perfectly

And continuously without

interference from your sister.

[engine starts]

I can't stop the car.

Tony's energizing it.

It's like your brother

doesn't even know you.

- [Rocky] it's yo-yo. Let's go!

- No. Don't run.

You crazy? You don't want

to go to that school.

Please, trust me.

Now, come on, hurry.

[Rocky] hey, wait for me.

[dazzler] come on, you guys.

Get in there.

- Let's go!

- Come on, get in.

- [door shuts]

- I'm dreaming.

You're surrendering

to the board of education?

Sir, you see that car

going down the street?

- Yeah.

- My brother's in it.

He ought to be going to school.

You ought to catch up with him.

Another truant? Oh, boy,

we're gonna have a load.

- Hey, what happened?

- Good driving, yo-yo.

Yeah, that was neat.

[laughs] this bus

can really move.

Tony, look

through the window.

The rear window.

That minibus

is following us.

I command you to place

obstacles in its path.

[tires squeal]

City property.

I've damaged city property.

[moaning]

[panting] they said

these glasses were shatterproof.

Was that a bus or a bridge?

They're still with us.

Tony, you must stop her.

Man, that man was

really buzzing.

Am I still alive?

[tires screech]

They're gaining on us.

She counteracts

everything that Tony does.

Tony, you've

got to stop her.

We flew!

[boys cheering]

They must've flown.

Don't you

dare try it.

Sickle... Sickle, stop...

Stop over that hill.

Tony, cause the reflection

of the sun on the rear window

To magnify and

shine so brightly

That our pursuers'll

be blinded by it.

[glass breaking]

[van scrapes road]

[muscles] come on,

open the doors.

[crusher] I can't see.

- [Tia] yeah.

- [muscles] come on, let me out.

- Everybody ok?

- [all kids] yeah, sure.

Oh, look what's happened

to city property.

No... But I'm still

gonna take you to school.

- Just soon as I...

- Come on.

[siren approaching]

You jeopardized my life's work.

My accountants'

are desperate.

You've proved yourself

incompetent yet again.

I don't even know if

I can trust you anymore.

You don't trust me?

I trusted you enough

To make my credit rating

look like Swiss cheese.

Don't tell me

you don't trust me.

We have to

trust each other.

Right.

I trust everybody.

Yes...

Well, fortunately,

I thought of something

very spectacular

Which will satisfy both of us

in terms of prestige and money.

Well, you have the prestige,

I'll take the money.

But, before we celebrate

your return to sanity,

We'd better do something

about Tony's sister.

How did she know

we were at the museum?

I...

I'm not certain.

Tony.

How did your sister know

that we were at the museum?

Telepathy.

She'll show up again

and ruin everything.

In that case, she will

have to be, as you would say...

...Scratched?

[Tony whispering] Tia.

[louder] Tia.

Tia!

[Tia] what happened to you?

[Tony] I can't explain now.

I've lost

the power to energize.

[Tia] where are you?

[Tony] follow my voice path.

Please!

[Tia] ok. Guide me.

[dog barks]

Tony, which way?

[Tony] this way.

[sirens blaring]

Which way, Tony?

Which way?

[Tony] keep moving

straight ahead.

This is the house.

Here, look.

Come on.

- [door closes]

- down here.

[goat bleats]

Be quiet, Alfred,

you silly thing.

[Tony] Tia!

Tony!

[yells]

[gas hissing]

I've put her into a state

of comatose neutralization.

[crusher] hey, Tia.

We got you some cold hotcakes.

She ain't here.

Hope she didn't go

looking for Tony without us.

Yeah, she needs us.

[Tia] Tony? Crusher?

Muscles? Rocky?

- Dazzler?

- [Alfred bleats]

Alfred.

Alfred,

what's the matter with me?

Where am I?

Alfred, find the earthquakes.

[bleating]

Listen to me.

[bleating]

[hoof steps approaching]

[bleating]

[sickle] what kind

of place is that?

[victor] that is an underground

plutonium processing plant.

Translate that

into financial terms.

Plutonium is

more valuable than gold.

That's why

I like scientists.

They're always discovering

new, expensive things.

It is used in the explosive core

of nuclear missile warheads.

I suppose you're

going to have Tony

Split an atom bomb

or something.

In effect...

...Yes

Well, I didn't count on
