Thunderpants Page #6

We're runnin' on fumes.

Sorry, sir.

A chain reaction.

An explosion, sir.

Total destruction of the rocket.

Goddamn! What's the chances

of this happening?

Uh...

...79%.

(sighs) Sweet Jesus.

That gives us 21%

to play with.

Alan!

A word in your ear,

son, please.

We've got a problem here,

um...

(Tannoy) Final checks concluded.

Stand by for launch.

(Alan) Patrick,

we have a problem.

Hello, Alan. What's wrong?

There is a chance, Patrick,

a big chance...

...that Thunderpants III will...

...will blow up

shortly after liftoff.

(gasps)

General Sheppard says

that the decision is yours...

...and...

and if you choose to stay...

...you're still a goddamn hero.

Alan...

...can I say something

to everybody?

Go ahead, Patrick.

Hello, everyone.

My name is Smash,

Patrick Smash.

And this is my dream.

I'm going to try my best

to be a good spaceman.

I've never had the whole world

rely on me before.

I mean, I do try

to do my best at home...

...but I wasn't what

my mum expected me to be.

I did try to do my best

at school too...

...but I upset

some ofthe other kids.

And I was a disappointment

to the teachers.

One time, I thought I'd found

someone who would help me.

We went round the world

together. We sang together.

But everything

kept going wrong.

But then my friendAlan came

and showed me...

...that what the spacemen

need now is a friend.

I'm going to try

and be that friend.

We are Patrick andAlan,

the team.

And with my gift, your genius

and our friendship...

...we can never go wrong!

AndAlan...

...thanks for remembering

the sprouts this time.

Who gave you ladies

permission to blubber?

- Uh...

- Patrick Smash...

...we salute you.

(all) Yes, sir.

Let's blow ass!

(chatter)

OK, Patrick.

We're ready for you, buddy.

(Tannoy)

Guidance systems are on line.

Engage primary ignition system.

We're lookin' good.

T minus ten...

...nine...

...eight, seven...

...six...

...five...

...four, three, two...

...one...

Patrick...

Yes, Alan?

You've got to let one go now.

All right, then.

(groans)

(roaring fart)

(electronic voice)

Gas transfer successful.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we have liftoff!

(cheering)

- Congratulations, son.

- Thanks.

Good work, Johnson.

(regular beeps)

(rapid beeps)

(screen crackles)

(intermittent beeps)

What's going on,

Mr Johnson?

Um, we appear to have...

...Iost communication

with the rocket...

...and life-support systems are...

Please, come on.

(mutters)

(tuneful squeal)

(tuneful squeal swells)

That's the Bart Seven.

He's OK?

He's OK. He... He's OK!

He's alive!

(wild cheering)

And that's my story.

I'mjust a nobody, really.

I've always been a nobody.

I'm not that clever.

I'm not that brave.

But I did one thing right.

I found out what it was...

...that made me who I am...

...that made me... me.

And that's my message to you.

You may think

you have problems now...

...but are they really problems?

Take them, look at them...

...use them.

Use them wisely

and use them well.

And maybe...

...just maybe...

...one day...

...your dream will come true.

(TV) Today, the world breathed

a sigh ofrelief...

...as the astronauts splashed down

in the Pacific Ocean.

SS Neptune was on hand

to pluck them out ofthe water.

The astronauts spent

26 harrowing days in space...

...as hopes for their rescue

slowly faded.

The day was saved

by an unlikely hero...

...Patrick Smash.

General Ed Sheppard

had this to say.

Praise God!

This is our finest hour.

Thank you, Alan.

Thank you, Patrick.

Thank you, Thunderpants!

(TV) New Yorkers turned up

in their thousands today...

...for that most traditional

ofAmerican celebrations.

A ticker-tape parade

through Manhattan...

...in honour ofthe biggest hero

ofthem all...

...Patrick Smash!

Mr Smash said...

..."It was the best day ofmy life...

...ever."

# AllStars:
We're goin' all the way

# Oh, no matter what they say

# We won't give up

# We won't give up

# We're on our way...

He was a breath of fresh air

to this school.

Patso Smash?

He taught me to respect others.

And to love myself.

We did it, Patrick.

We really did it,

didn't we?

I don't see

what all the fuss is about.

All he did was fart.

Uh, a teacher?

Yes, um...

I prefer to think of him as...

...the son I never had.

Here's some more books, Father.

What A Note, my new book.

I'm signing copies here

in this bookshop.

A really talented

young man...

...whose gift we recognised

early on.

We love you,

Patrick Smash! Hooray!

He always spoilt everything

and he ends up a hero.

Well, big deal!

I hated him then

and I hate him now.

That enough?

All right. That's enough.

Stop it!
