Space Warriors Page #5

---

But I still hate

The way you just

expect things to change

- [ Yells, laughter]

- [ moaning ]

Ah, yeah. Ah, yeah.

Warriors.

Knowing what I know...

[cheering ]

Whoa oh, whoa oh

IOoh

Whoa oh, whoa oh

Hey, check it out.

We're still winning.

They ain't got a shot.

Hey, little dudes.

In case we don't get

a chance after it's over,

I just wanted to congratulate you

on your effort.

[ Lacey scoffs ]

We little dudes

are kind of overwhelmed.

Seriously, though, you guys aren't

half as bad as we believed.

- Right, guys?

- Yeah.

JIMMY:

We're going to win this.

The buggy competition is tomorrow.

25 points are awarded to the winner.

We need 23.

How are you gonna do that?

Is your daddy gonna come back

from the junkyard to drive your buggy?

Hey, watch your mouth, punk.

The lady here

will drive against you.

Really?

Really.

She won a worldwide competition

for most skilful pilot,

hand-eye coordination.

Reflexes,

guts under pressure.

She's a natural.

And after she's done

driving against you,

we're gonna have a whole

different conversation.

[ Dani laughs]

MAN LEYI Lights out.

Go on. Get some rest.

Good night.

[cellphone rings]

[ring]

[Sighs]

- Hello.

- Roy,

you got a Lacey Myers

over there?

Yeah, I know her.

Eh, looks like she doesn't meet

the competition's age requirement.

You have documentation?

I thought this would be

a cakewalk, Hunter,

but these guys are good.

You worried about tomorrow?

Well, don't be.

If it comes to it, I'll take care of it.

CONWAY:

Hey, what's that supposed to mean?

Okay, you're not gonna do

something stupid, are you?

[ Chuckles ]

Chandra's right, Hunter.

We were all ticked off

when those kids first got here,

- but they've proven themselves.

- Yeah.

They haven't proven anything.

They got lucky.

I'm gonna do whatever it takes

to guarantee victory.

I am not gonna lose my chance

to go to space.

And don't think I haven't seen you

fraternizing with the enemy,

making goo-goo eyes

at that Chinese kid.

Hunter.

You two better get with the program

and step it up, both of you.

And keep your mouths shut,

'cause if I go down...

you go down.

I'm sorry, Lacey...

more than you know.

But I--I have to call your mother.

I have to send you home.

[ No audible dialogue]

You could just let it go.

Can I?

It's just a girl who loves

this program so much

she fudged her application

by a few days.

Jimmy, she broke the rules.

She lied, and she's out.

Now, you cut corners in space,

and people die.

If she goes, we have no driver

for the buggy race,

we lose the competition,

we never go to space.

That is what you are here to learn.

You win as a team,

and you lose as a team.

This is CNM breaking news.

We're live from Houston, Texas,

where Hurricane Nancy

has picked up steam.

Simon, what can you tell us?

Currently have a barometric pressure

of 985 millibars,

and the center is getting

much closer as we speak.

Marshall, this is Houston.

Communication

to Kazakhstan Space Center

also being switched to your locale.

Quiet on deck.

Commander Phillips,

from all of us here at Houston,

good luck, and Godspeed.

PHILLIPS:

All right, everyone. This is it.

I need all hands on deck.

Get me a secure line.

I need to talk to Russia yesterday.

BAO:
Look at their legs.

They're like telephone poles.

More like tree trunks.

Can't compete with that.

- Not without steroids.

- Yeah.

Bad news, guys.

I couldn't convince Manley

to let Lacey stay.

Without our pilot, the race is over.

- Time to pack it in.

- Wait.

I think I might have a solution.

Ladies and gentlemen,

this is the moment

you have all been waiting for.

Now after a hard-fought week

by all the teams,

the Titans have a slight lead

over the Warriors,

so whoever wins

the great moon buggy race

will be our champion.

Have a great, great race,

everybody. Whoo!

- [ Cheering ]

- All right, Titans.

We've let these losers

hang around long enough.

Now it's time to end them.

Ready, big guy?

You can do it, baby.

Just remember

what Dale Earnhardt said.

Second place is just

the first-place loser.

Let's blow this up.

As we gear up to begin

the final competition

of the great Race to Space,

we have the Titans in first place,

the Warriors in second,

and the Redstones in third.

You can do this, Robonaut.

On your marks.

Get set.

Go!

Ladies and gentlemen,

the buggies are off,

and it looks like the Titans

are taking a fast lead

as we start the contest.

SERGEI:

Come on. Come on.

As we round the first turn,

the Titans are holding on

to a nice lead over the Warriors.

We gotta pull ahead.

SERGEI:

We are almost there.

- Come on, Jimmy.

- Jimmy.

Okay, we've got Robonaut.

Ladies and gentlemen,

a burst of speed

from the Warriors team

and Robonaut.

Yes.

The Warriors and the Titans are

neck and neck, ladies and gentlemen.

Whoa. The Warriors have taken

a hard turn off the course.

Ah, we'll never catch up.

You win some. You lose some.

You wreck some.

We can use anything

at Space Camp, right?

What are you thinking?

Come on.

Quick! Quick! Quick!

Go! Go! Go!

Jimmy, hold on to your--

[yelling]

And the Warriors are back,

ladies and gentlemen, with rocket speed.

- We're gonna win.

- This is incredible.

- We're gonna win.

- They are taking the lead.

And it looks like the Warriors

- have got this contest in the bag.

- Yes!

We're gonna actually win this thing.

Oh, God. No!

Unbelievable.

The Titans come back

to win this thing.

We have a winner!

A winner!

[cheering ]

Congratulations to the Titans.

The winner of Space Camp's

Race to Space competition.

MANLEY:

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

[ Rings]

[ring]

Hi. This is Jimmy.

I can't take your call right now,

so you know what to do at the beep.

[Sighs]

Darn it.

[cellphone rings]

[ring]

Hey, Sally.

Hey, Andy.

I'm sorry to break in

on your boys vacation,

but, uh, can I talk to Jimmy

for just a second?

What makes you think

he's at my place?

Your place? He's--

You--You're fishing.

No, I'm not picking him up

till next week.

You didn't pick him up Monday?

What are you talking about?

Then he's missing?

Did you guys have a fight?

I did not have a fight with him.

You left me a message.

No, I didn't leave a message.

I heard your voice, Andy.

Hey, I'm not lying.

If this is some kind of sick joke

that the two of you are

playing on me, it's not funny.

You mean to tell me that

he's been missing for days?

There's a message with you saying--

You said that--

You said that you finished work

a week ahead of schedule

and that you wanted to take him

on a camping trip.

No, that wasn't me.

Jimmy must have--

I don't know--

made a tape.

SALLY:
What are--

What are you saying?

Did he--Did he run away

from home 'cause I was--

'cause I was too hard on him?

[crying 1

Hang on.

I'm coming right over.

Oh, my gosh, Andy.

What are we gonna do?

- He's fine.

- What?

- He's safe. He's at the Space Camp.
