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?

Oh, and Milton Bradley with

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.

So? He's still better than me

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?

No, you cheat at board games.

But you can't even cheat at Stratego!

Trust me, you'll find a way.

Hey. Sorry about that.

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.

You're gonna leave us alone

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.

We never should have

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!
