-Bye.

Bye, Christopher.

Hey, you guys wanna

come with us?

-What--? To Candlestick?

-We're going now. Come with us.

-Where are your seats?

-We've-- We're upper deck.

We got a box. Come on.

-You wanna sit in the box?

-No.

It's not actually a box.

It's, you know, a private section.

It's more comfortable.

You wanna go?

-Okay.

-Okay, kids in the back.

Hey, why don't you just put that

in your car?

-Yeah, okay. Sure, sure.

-We don't have a car.

-Oh, my--

-What happened?

I think I got stung by a bee.

-You all right?

-Oh, yeah. Goodness. I'm fine.

-You're not allergic or anything?

-No, no, no.

-Where'd he get you?

-Just right at the back of my head.

-Are you okay?

-Yeah, I'm fine, Christopher.

-Does it hurt?

-Christopher, I'm fine.

-Let me see.

-Christopher, sit back. Sit back.

Thomas Jefferson mentions

happiness a couple times...

...in the Declaration

of Independence.

May seem like a strange word

to be in that document...

...but he was sort of....

He was an artist.

He called the English

"the disturbers of our harmony. "

And I remember standing there

that day...

... thinking about

the disturbers of mine.

Questions I had:

Whether all this was good.

Whether I'd make it.

And Walter Ribbon

and his Pacific Bell pension money...

... which was millions.

Yeah!

It was a way to another place.

Wow, this is....

This is the way

to watch a football game here.

-Thank you very much for this, really.

-Hey, it's my pleasure, Chris.

And, Mr. Ribbon, I also wanna thank

you for giving me the opportunity...

...to discuss the asset management

capabilities of Dean Witter...

...which we believe

to be far superior...

...to anything you got going

over at Morgan Stanley.

Really, I think you're gonna

be blown away.

Point blank, Dean Witter needs to be

managing your retirement portfolio.

You know, I didn't have any notion

that you were new there.

I like you, but there's not a chance

I'm gonna let you direct our fund.

That's just not gonna happen

anytime soon, buddy.

So, you know, come on, relax.

Let's play the game. Go, go, go!

Yes!

Yes! Yeah!

-Here you go.

-All right.

I've had a few ideas

already, absolutely.

-Chris, I'll talk to you later.

-I'm gonna give you a call.

Nice to meet you, Chris.

Give me a call.

Yes, absolutely. Thank you.

-Bye.

-Bye, Christopher.

After four months, we had sold

all our scanners.

It seemed we were making it.

What's the...

-...fastest animal in the world?

-Jackrabbit.

It seemed we were doing good.

Till one day...

...that day...

...that letter brought me

back to earth.

This part of my life is called

"Paying Taxes. "

If you didn't pay them...

... the government could stick

their hands into your bank account...

...and take your money.

Dad.

No warning. Nothing.

It can't be too late.

That's my money.

How is somebody just gonna

just take my money?

I was-- I was--

Listen, l--

That's all the money that I have.

You cannot go into my bank acc--

No--

It was the 25th of September.

I remember that day.

Because that's the day

that I found out...

...there was only 21 dollars

and 33 cents left in my bank account.

I was broke.

-Dressed yet?

-No.

Chris! Chris!

Don't jerk me around, okay, Chris?

I'm not jerking you around, Ralph,

all right? I'm gonna get it.

-I need that money now, not later.

-When I get it, you get it, Ralph.

Now!

Hey, what's happening, man?

Wayne, I need to get

that $1 4 from you.

I thought I didn't owe you that now.

-What? Why?

-Why what?

Why would you think

you don't owe me my money?

I helped you move.

You drove me two blocks, Wayne.

That's 200 yards.

It's been four months, Wayne.

I need my money. I need my money.

I need my money right now.

-I don't have it, man. I'm sorry.

-Go get my money.

-Wayne, get my mo--

-I really don't, man. It's $1 4.

It's my $1 4!

Go get my money!

-All of this for $1 4.

-Get my money, Wayne.

Dad, look at me!

Dad.

-Should I go?

-Sure, man. Why not?

-Stay here.

-Dad, look.

-No, no. Stay right here.

-Dad.

Did you hear what I said?

Did you hear me?

-Dad, where you going?

-Hey, what did I say?

Dad!

Dad, wait! Dad!

-Dad.

-I gotta--

I gotta get back to the '60s, man.

That's what I wanna do.

When I was younger. I wanna see

Jimi Hendrix do that guitar on fire.

Bring back my time machine!

Bring my time machine back!

-Dad, where are we going?

-Just be quiet.

Go get your things. Go.

-Chris?

-Yes.

Dr. Telm can't get back to meet you.

I'm sorry.

Where are we going now?

Gotta-- We gotta

see somebody else.

I'm tired.

I know.

Doesn't seem to be functioning

right now.

-I have to go now, Chris.

-No, no, no.

Just give me a second. I'm sure

I'm gonna be able to figure it out.

Chris. Chris, just come back

when it's working.

-No, no. I have to fix it now.

-No.

Look, I'll still be putting money

in the office, then, all right?

I really have to go, Chris.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you for your time.

I appreciate it.

I'll see you soon.

Why are our things here?

Dad.

-Let's go. Come on.

-Where?

-Just out of here.

-Why?

-We can't stay here tonight.

-Yes, we can. Open the door!

-Did you hear what I said? Let's go.

-Open the door!

Hey, did you hear what I said?

Stop it.

Stop it.

Come on.

Come on.

Wayne!

Wayne!

Wayne!

Get up. Stand up. Come on.

Where are we going?

-Dad, where are we going?

-I don't know.

It's not a time machine.

Dad.

It's not a time machine.

The guy said it was a time machine.

It's not a time machine. He was wrong.

-What guy?

-The guy. He was at the park.

He said it was a time machine.

Yes, it is.

No, it's not.

-lt is.

-No, it's not.

All we gotta do is push

this black button right here.

Wanna push it?

Okay.

Come on.

Come on, man.

Right here.

Wait a minute.

Where you wanna go?

I don't know.

Some place from before.

You gotta close your eyes.

You close your eyes. I wanna see.

All right, come on.

We'll push it together.

You gotta close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

It takes a few seconds.

Oh, my goodness.

Open, open, open!

-What is it?

-Dinosaurs.

-Where?

-You don't see all these dinosaurs?

Look around.

Look at all these dinosaurs.

-Can you see them?

-Yeah.

Wait. Come on, come on.

-Wait, watch out.

-What is it?

Don't step in the fire.

We're cavemen.

We need this fire,

because there's no electricity...

...and it's cold out here, okay?

-Watch out!

-Whoa! Oh, my good-- A T. rex.

Get your stuff.

Get your stuff. Get it.

-We gotta find someplace safe.

-Like what?

We need a cave.

A cave?

-We gotta find a cave. Come on.

-Okay.

Come on, come on.

Watch your back! Look out.

Here it is. Here's a cave. Come on.

Right here, right here.

Go, go, go.

Go ahead. Get in.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

-Are we safe?

-Yeah, I think so.

Hey.

-How you doing, Jay?

-I'm doing good.

How are you getting along?

-Good. I'm good.

-You doing good?

-How you doing?

-I'm doing great.

Where you going?
