Zathura: A Space Adventure
Whoo!
Oh, man!
That's it!
Nice grab!
Oh, yeah!
- All right, Danny, your turn.
- What? I didn't get my full turn!
You did. I counted.
That was 25. That's what we said.
- That's not fair.
- It's exactly fair.
Come on, Danny. Time for your turn,
then I gotta work for an hour.
You know, you're not the only one
who gets a turn.
"You're not the only one who gets a turn."
Guys.
All right.
Keep your eye on the ball.
You got it this time. Ready?
All right, that's a good try.
It was a bad throw. It's a bad throw.
Sorry. My bad.
Okay. Here we go.
You can do this.
Here we go. Ready?
Okay.
A deep fly ball to the right field!
Clemente back,
running on his horse real fast!
Can he get it? Can he get it?
his dive-and-roll catch!
- Dodgers win!
- You're such a dick!
What? It was a great grab.
Danny?
Danny?
Danny, you should not be using that
kind of language with your brother.
But it's true.
Listen, kiddo,
when I was 6 years old...
- Six and three quarters.
- When I was 6 and three quarters...
...catching was hard for me too.
Well, it's not hard for Walter.
Well, Walter's 10.
at everything.
No way.
He's not better than you at piano.
I hate that stupid thing.
Someday you're gonna be
really happy I got you that piano.
You'll be at a party,
there'll be a pretty girl...
Like you and Mom?
Look, Danny...
...you and Walter
are different people.
He's good at some things, you're good
at other things. That's how people are.
He beats me at everything.
Listen to me, this is important.
You're a very special kid.
That's what people say
when they can't think of anything.
You know how you always
make up games...
...and pretend to be characters?
You have an incredible imagination.
Amazing imagination.
A whole universe of an imagination.
And I use my imagination for a living,
so I know what I'm talking about.
- Is it better than Walter's?
- What?
Is my imagination better
than Walter's?
You're different than Walter.
- Don't do that.
- You wanna play catch?
- We just played catch.
- No, football catch.
I have to work for an hour.
- But it's Saturday.
- Tell me about it.
- All you ever do is work.
- Nice try.
- This is so unfair.
- Hello.
Bill, I am so sorry.
I'll call you back in two minutes.
Is that okay?
Thanks.
I have an important meeting
this afternoon.
- I've... I really have to be ready for it.
- You're going out?
Yes, I'm going out.
Well, I'm going to a meeting.
You're gonna be at Mom's house.
She's coming to get you at 3.
We go to Mom's house tomorrow.
- No, today.
- This is a four-day Dad week.
Three-day Dad week.
Four-day last week...
...four-day next week,
three-day this week.
Four-day Mom week this week.
But that's not fair.
- To whom?
- To anyone.
I have to work.
We'd have all the time
if Danny wasn't around.
Well, Danny is around.
All right, five throws.
How do I put this? Let me think.
I have to work.
Dad, I'm ready to play
"Smash Bros."
You told him you'd play
"Smash Bros."?
No, I didn't tell him I was gonna
play "Smash Bros!"
- You're playing catch with Walter?!
- He might if you weren't around!
You're so mean!
Everybody wants to ruin my life!
- You never keep your promises!
- All you care about is Walter!
There's only one of me, okay?!
I don't like this situation either,
it sucks, is what it does...
...but this is the best I could
come up with!
So climb off my back and give me
about two inches of space, will you?!
There are some days, boys,
when you gotta grow up all at once.
I need today to be
one of those days.
Wanna play Chutes and Ladders?
No, you'll cheat.
Stratego?
But you can't even cheat at Stratego!
Trust me, you'll find a way.
Oh, no, no, it's fine.
I'm not meeting him till 3:30,
I can finish by then.
Walter, look what I found.
Those belong to me. Put them back.
But you never play with them.
So? They're still mine.
When did you get so mean?
I'm not mean, Danny.
I'm in fourth grade,
I have a girlfriend.
You know how Dad said
we have to grow up?
Well, this is what it looks like.
Can we please play "Army Men"?
Copy that.
Sergeant, there is a helicopter on fire.
Let's get it.
The drawings all match
the foam mockup.
- Get back here.
- Let me hold it.
- Yes, red.
- Give me.
Cranberry, right.
It's whatever color they picked.
I worked from the chits.
Can I call you back one more time?
It's a small domestic emergency here.
I... I... I know. I know.
- Dad.
- It's not a problem. Okay, thanks.
- Look what he did!
- I was on the phone.
- It was an accident.
- You're such a baby!
- I'm not a baby!
- You break all my stuff,
- you can't catch a ball,
- That's enough!
- and nobody wants you around!
- That's enough!
You shut up!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
It's 10 minutes to the office.
I have to run off another copy.
I'll be back.
in this creepy old house?
- It's not creepy, it's old.
- I like Mom's better.
Well, so did she, and now it's hers.
Look, this is a very special house.
The reason I'm working to fix it up
is I wanna make a home for us here.
Now, I know it's not Mom's house,
and I know it's a little creaky...
...but give it some time,
it's gonna grow on you.
Well, I don't wanna stay here alone.
Well, you're not gonna be alone.
I'm going to wake up Lisa.
- No, don't wake up Lisa.
- What, are you crazy?
She's sleeping. Let her sleep.
Honey.
Lisa. Honey.
Get up.
I need to go out. I need you to
look after your two favorite people.
Come on.
I can't. I have a date tonight.
What time?
We're hooking up at, like, 8.
- It's 2.
- So?
- So that's six hours from now.
- What's your point?
I need you to look after the boys.
By the way, it makes me uncomfortable
when you say "hooking up."
Why? It's not like it means anything.
- Hope it doesn't.
- It doesn't. It's just an expression.
- Hope it is.
- It is. God.
rented Thirteen.
Keep your eye on them. Make sure
they don't burn down the house.
- Okay?
- I'm not deaf.
- I'm not deaf.
- What?
Dad, okay.
Fifteen minutes, just close the door.
Thank you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am.
Yeah, hold on.
Hey!
Dad said no video games.
He did not!
