Thank you, thank you.

Now, where are you going?

In there.

Oh, no. You can't go

beyond this point without ids.

- [footsteps approaching]

- [Tia] Tony!

- Tia!

- I knew it.

She'll spoil everything.

I can just taste that money.

We cannot let her

take it away from us.

Tony!

Tony, from this moment

you will no longer hear Tia.

She cannot break through

my power of control.

- Acknowledge.

- [Tia] Tony, what's wrong?

It's me, your sister.

Try to remember me.

Acknowledge.

Tony?

- Yes, sir.

- Get those kids.

She'll use some of those

molecules on us.

I'll take care of her before

she gets a Chance, you get them.

[Tia] I can't get through.

I don't know what

they've done to his mind.

We've got to find the emergency

cooling system ourselves.

How do you spell cooling?

Come on.

- [Tia] uh-oh.

- [muscles] whoa.

[Rocky] look out.

[rapid footsteps approach]

We've got to find

the emergency switches.

You two go that way,

and you two go that way.

Tony, we must

eliminate Tia.

[footsteps approach]

You will cause that portable

utility panel to run her down.

- Hey, Tia, come here.

- [machines whirring]

Come on.

That ain't it, right?

- [Tia] you found it!

- I knew it was it!

But, it's spelt wrong.

You guys get

dazzler and muscles.

Ok. Come on.

[door opening]

The rest of the money's

just arrived.

All right.

I'd better call Gannon.

The cooling system's on.

Switch it off.

[man] we lost it!

What's going on down there?

It's coming back.

650, 600...

Gotcha!

Tony, you must stop her.

Tony, why are you

doing these things?

Why are you using

your powers against me?

What's happened?

Tony...

...Pretend

to remember Tia.

Lure her to the

center of the room and...

...Make that crane

drop on her.

Tia!

I'm starting to remember.

What was the

matter with you?

I don't know, exactly... But...

I need help.

Don't go any closer.

Why? What is it, Tony?

Tony, stop it!

Stop it, Tony, stop it!

Exert a force

greater than hers.

Why are you doing this, Tony?

Stop.

Crush her.

Kill her!

Crush her!

Crush her! Crush her!

Finish her!

- Now!

- [Tony groaning]

Tia.

Where are we?

What's happened?

[victor screams]

- Ha!

- [boys yell]

[victor] Tony.

Tony, we can still do it.

We can still make use

of molecular control.

Ok, doc,

let's do it.

[moaning]

[grunting]

[footsteps approach]

[boys pant]

[victor] Letha!

Why don't we

all go and have some...

Some candy and, uh,

sodas and ice cream?

[Letha moans]

Next time...

- ...Next time I'll...

- Forget it.

I've lost my faith in science.

- [sickle grunts]

- huh?

[boys moan]

[victor] sickle!

[moaning]

Aunt Letha!

Oh, aunt Letha.

Help.

[gasping] aunt Letha?

Aunt Letha?

It's absolutely dreadful

the way they bring up

children these days.

- Come on.

- [engine shuts off]

Tony, the bus won't run

without me in it.

It's all my fault.

It's such a mess.

Well, I guess we'll

just have to fix it.

I'm sure Uncle Bene

won't mind.

I'll do the engine.

You do the body work.

- Ok.

- So long, Alfie.

- Goodbye, Alfred.

- [blows kiss]

[bleats]

What job will you do now,

Mr. Yo-yo, uh, Yokomoto?

Oh, I've saved my money.

I'll probably open

a Japanese delicatessen.

- [metal scraping]

- hey, kids, look.

I don't understand this.

- Man!

- Wow, what a family.

The molecules must have

rearranged themselves...

- ...Somehow.

- Uh, that's a possibility.

You know what this means?

They never saw the wreck.

I'll tell them that the reports

were exaggerated.

And, if you kids

will go back to school,

I'm sure they

won't fire me.

You will go back to school,

won't you?

Well, if we was

to go back to school,

Could we get as smart

as Tia and Tony?

- Maybe even smarter.

- Yeah, sure.

Let's give it a shot.

Great.

I hope the school can take it.

- Goodbye, yo-yo.

- Goodbye.

- [Rocky] see you later, yo-yo.

- You promised.

Tia, open the gate.

No, everybody join hands.

- Whoa.

- Wow.

[boys] cool!

[muscles] all right!

Wow! Flying saucer!

Will we ever

see you again?

Well, it's...

It's kind of

hard to say.

Thanks for everything.

And especially for

letting me be in your gang.

Take care of Alfred

for me, ok?

[all laugh]

There you are.

- Where's your luggage?

- Uh, we lost it.

There were

a few problems.

- But you did have fun?

- Oh, terrible.

I just knew we

should have gone surfing.

[mechanical whirring]

[all] wow.

Hey. Let's do it the way

Tia and Tony taught us.

[all] yeah.

- Ready?

- [all] one, two, three!

[all grunt]

- Hey, yo-yo!

- Yo-yo!

[panting] guess what!

Tia and Tony just drove off

in a flying saucer.

- Flying saucer?

- Whoosh!

Whoosh?

How about whooshing

yourself into the bus?

But, it's true.

Lookit, I saw those two kids

do miraculous things.

I believe anything and

everything, except that. Get in.

I hope this school teaches

about flying saucers.

Yeah.

Flying saucers.

[laughs]

[engine starts]

[mechanical whirring]
