Zapped! Page #2

And do you think they can get us out of it?

Yeah.

Well, scientists have to bear

some responsibility for the mess.

But I also think they're our best hope

for cleaning it up.

A pat answer, but I'll take it.

What are you planning on doing

with those orchids?

Well, I really don't know yet.

What do you plan to specialize in

at college?

Botany. Research, that is.

There's a lot of money to be made there.

Is that your goal, Barney?

To make money?

- I guess that'd be part of it.

- That's enough for now, Bernadette.

I'm not interviewing you.

I agree. I think that's enough for now.

You gotta watch her, Barn. She's nosey.

She sure is pushy.

- Hi, Bernadette.

- Hi, Jane. How you doing?

- Did you do your homework?

- Yeah.

- Can I copy?

- Again?

Sure.

Good afternoon, class.

I'm so happy to inform you

that we have a very special visitor today.

Our esteemed principal,

Mr. Walter Coolidge.

Hey, Coolidge, you shave with an ax?

Yes, sir. You can sit here at my desk, sir.

Thank you, Miss Burnhart.

It's a pleasure to be here.

And...

And now we'll continue

with our final presentations in poetry.

Who's next in the alphabet?

Let's see here.

You're next, Gary Cooter.

Do I have to, Miss Burnfart?

Read us your poem, Gary.

Or your next year will be

your fourth as a senior.

This is a poem about something

that's pretty important to me

and that I get real confused about a lot.

It's called Chicks.

"Chicks

"Sometimes I feel like

I'm so much above them

"And sometimes

I feel like I'm so much below them"

Oh, God.

"Sometimes, I hate them

"And sometimes, I love them"

Barney.

Barney.

"But if I was a cave man

I think I'd just club them"

All right.

Thank you, Gary.

Barney, what do you think

of Gary's poem?

What's the... What's the problem, Barney?

Are you hiding something?

Shall we continue?

Oh, Barney.

When may I see my orchids?

Anytime, Mr. Coolidge.

Just let me know ahead of time

so I can straighten up.

It's quite messy in there.

All right, I'll do that.

Let's make it soon, shall we?

Hey, Barn, you feeling okay?

- You seem sort of out of it.

- What?

Oh. Yeah, yeah, I'm okay, Peyton.

Jane looks kind of cute today.

Sure does.

Hey, watch this.

All you need is a good opening line.

It all hinges on the first seven seconds.

- It's in the Valley. It's the best...

- Did they card you?

Yes, they did, but I had my fake,

so it was no problem.

They'll probably card you.

Hi, Jane. Can I talk to you a minute?

Sure.

It's kind of private.

Okay.

Who you going to the prom with, Barney?

I don't know yet.

Why don't you go

with one of your mice friends?

So, what's this all about?

Saturday night.

Dinner and a flick. We'll have a blast.

Cut the crap. You know I'm going out

with Robert Wolcott.

He's pre-law at Tee Winkle College.

Why should I go out with you?

Well, I'm pre-rich, pre-famous

and pre-powerful.

You act like pre-school,

and that's a little immature for me.

Wow!

What the hell's going on here?

Nobody touched her, swear to God.

Well, what's she screaming for, punk?

Nothing's going on, Robert.

He didn't touch me.

The wind blew it open. That's all.

Nothing happened, really.

He just wishes.

I catch you near her again,

and I'll break your face.

No problem, Rob.

Let's get out of here, Robert.

What are you, some kind of pervert?

- It must have shrunk.

- Get in the car.

If I ever catch you doing

anything like that again,

except when we're alone, I'll...

I didn't do it.

How do you suppose that happened?

I don't know.

I guess it was the wind.

You know, like she said.

Yeah.

Well, Barn,

you wanna get something to eat?

Oh, no. Not really.

I think I'm gonna go back into the lab.

- Well, I guess I'll see you later then, huh?

- Right. See you.

Oh, my God.

I can't believe it.

I'm not dreaming.

That's incredible, Barney.

- How did you get in here?

- The door was open.

Anyway, you can't stop me.

It's school property.

Thanks a lot, Barney.

How cute. What are their names?

None of your business.

Come on, Barney, don't be mad.

Don't you realize how amazing this is?

What is?

Don't try to bullshit me, Barney.

I saw those test tubes flying around,

and I saw those maps pop off the wall.

Big deal. So what does that mean?

What does the word telekinesis

mean to you, Barney?

I've never heard of it.

Marijuana. I can't wait to find out

how these fit into all this.

Look, I have some more work to do.

Can't you just leave me alone? Please?

Barney, you can't expect to keep

a thing like this to yourself.

This is it. Mind over matter,

the power to move things at will.

Hey, Barn.

I was just passing by

and I couldn't help overhearing.

Telekinesis, huh?

- Hey. How did it happen?

- I don't know.

Well, there was an explosion,

and I didn't think anything of it.

But that must have been it, because

after that things started happening.

Peyton...

I can make things fly around.

I can move things.

Barney, we'll shock the scientific world.

We can prove that telekinesis exists.

Look, I don't want anybody else

to know about this.

- But, Barney...

- He's right. It'd just be a lot of publicity.

We gotta keep this thing to ourselves.

You're right. Nobody can know.

- I have to go home.

- Hey, you feeling okay?

Oh, yeah, I just need some time

to think, that's all.

I'm a little foggy still.

- Bye.

- Bye.

So how does the world look

through cracked glasses?

Cracked.

Where were you?

I spent all afternoon making dinner,

and you don't see fit

to come home on time.

Your mother made her specialty,

Spam with cream sauce.

Did you bring me that milk

like I asked you to?

Oh. I forgot it.

Son, you've been

damned irresponsible lately.

- You better explain yourself.

- Answer your father.

What's the question?

You don't eat. You go to sleep at 7:30...

I had some work to finish at the lab

and then I went for a walk, that's all.

Gee whiz, Mom, I said I'm sorry.

- I think maybe I'll get a burger.

- Now, just a minute.

Starting tonight you're grounded.

You'll be in this house at suppertime

and this is where you'll stay.

I didn't mean it. Dad, I'm sorry.

You should be. Now, go to your room.

Can't you see your father's a sick man?

Okay, Alvy, they've got you

on their main view scanner

and they're coming in for a closer look.

They seem to be afraid of you.

I don't believe it, Captain.

That thing could swallow us whole.

Spock, do we have a reading?

Yes, Captain, computer indicates

we're about to be swallowed

by a giant sheep dog.

For God's sake, I hope he's been wormed.

I have to get something to eat.

What are you doing?

All right, you can come.

But don't say I never take you anyplace.

There.

Now they'll never know we're gone.

Come on.

Who you going

to the prom with, Barney?

Why don't you go

with one of your mice friends?

Are you talking to me?

Are you talking to me?

Oh, yeah? Well, take this.

Oh, no.

Now I'm really in for it.
