Zathura: A Space Adventure Page #2

Fine.

It's a giraffe!

- This is SportsCenter.

- Hey.

I was watching that.

It is Oakland. It is Boston.

It is Manny Ramirez.

- Can't we watch SpongeBob?

- No.

- You used to like it.

- Times change.

Tartar sauce.

I'm hungry.

So, what do you want me

to do about it?

Make me macaroni and cheese?

I don't know how.

I'm hungry.

What do you know how to make?

Water.

Two-run shot. Are you kidding me?

Next batter, Jason Varitek.

In the air to deep right field.

Down the line, towards the pole.

- How about if you and me play catch?

- No.

The first guy to give up

walk-off home runs...

...on consecutive days since 1998.

Bo Sox win it 6 to 5.

History-making moment for...

You're dead!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

Danny?

Where are you?

Danny?

Where are you, Danny?

Danny?

Where are you?

- There you are.

- I said I was sorry.

Don't. No.

- Don't do that, it's not funny.

- You'll be safe here till Dad gets back.

You're just jealous because

Dad thinks I'm smarter than you!

I didn't mean that.

Walter, no! Pull me up! Don't!

What's the matter, Danny?

Not still scared of the basement,

are you?

Walter! No, Walter!

It's not funny! Stop!

Pull me up! Walter!

Three-year-olds are scared of basements!

You're really mean.

Dad said not to play in there.

Look what I found in the basement.

Looks dumb and old.

I like it.

Yeah, you would, it's for babies.

Walter, this is so cool!

Check this out!

What's Zathura?

- Will you play with me?

- No.

- I won't cheat.

- Yeah, you will.

- A card came out!

- Fascinating!

"Me... Mete...

Meor sho...

Meeor sh... sho..."

Read this for me.

"Meteor shower.

Take evasive action."

What's evasive action?

It's when you get out of the way of something.

What exactly am I supposed to

get out of the way of, exactly?

I have no idea.

All it says is "Take evasive a..."

Grandma!

It's meteors!

Take erasive action!

Take erasive action!

Danny, in here!

Danny, hurry up! It's safe!

Danny, come on, hurry!

Danny, come on, hurry up!

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!

Come on, get in, get in!

This is SportsCenter.

Schilling deals no love...

I don't think we should play

that game anymore.

That's weird.

It only hit the living room.

Wow, outer space.

No, that's just nighttime.

I don't know, Walter.

Night never looked so close before.

Wait.

Walter, check this out.

- Tell her.

- You tell her.

You should,

she won't freak out as much.

We shouldn't really even be in here.

Dude, we're in outer space.

It doesn't matter.

Then you wake her.

Fine.

Lisa.

Lisa. Lisa...

- Go away.

- Lisa, you gotta get up.

What's the rule about

being in my room?

We're not allowed in

unless it's an emergency.

And what's the emergency?

There was a meteor shower

and everything got wrecked.

- We can't get back to Earth.

- Okay, shut up!

- Just look.

- Yeah.

- Oh, no.

- Yeah!

- What do we do?

- It's already dark?

I'm gonna be so late!

- It's not dark!

- We're in outer space!

I saw Saturn outside!

Lisa, open up!

Shut up and listen to me!

Dad put me in charge

until he got home.

Which means you guys

need to do what I say.

Do me a favor. Go downstairs

and stay out of my face.

But it's an emergency.

- Is the house on fire?

- No.

- Is anyone hurt?

- No, but...

- Then leave.

- Lisa, please.

We're really scared. Can you just

watch what this game does?

If this is some weird joke you guys

are trying to pull, you're dead.

No, it's not a joke.

Here, watch this. Watch this. Here.

- Okay, so wind the key.

- All right.

- So now I'm winding the key.

- Yeah, see?

- And then push the button.

- So I push it?

- Yeah.

- Pushing the button.

Then the number winds,

and whatever the number is, like nine.

Then your ship... The blue ship...

...because the red ship is mine,

and I got a five.

So then it goes to nine,

which would be that thing.

- All right.

- Then the card's gonna pop out.

- The card.

- The card.

- The card!

- The card!

- The card.

- Here's the scary part.

"You're promoted to

a starship captain.

Move ahead two spaces."

Fascinating.

- Lisa, no, no! Lisa!

- No, wait, Lisa!

- Oh, man!

- Wait, that one didn't count!

Let me go. Let me go. Here. Okay.

It's stuck!

Maybe we have to take turns.

See? It was my turn.

- Four.

- Yeah, four.

Card.

"Shipmate enters cryonic sleep chamber for 5 turns."

What the heck does that mean?

Lisa?

Does "cryonic" mean ice?

Lisa!

Help!

I killed her!

You didn't kill her.

She's frozen in cryonic sleep.

I gotta melt her.

Are you crazy?!

We can't just leave her here like this!

Maybe we should read the instructions.

"Zathura.

Attention, space adventurers.

Zathura awaits.

Do you have what it takes

to navigate the galaxy?

It's not for the faint of heart.

For once you embark

upon your journey...

...there's no turning back

until Zathura's reached.

Pieces reset

at the end of each game.

Play again and again

for different adventures."

That's it. We gotta keep playing.

I'm not playing that thing.

Yes, we are.

It says we go home if we win.

It... It didn't say that.

Yes, it did. "Pieces reset

at the end of each game."

That means we go home

when we're finished.

All I know is that when we play

this game, bad things happen.

All I know is that when I play that game,

I got promoted.

So I'm gonna win this

and get us home.

- Wait, can we stop--

- Don't be a baby.

I'm not a baby.

Look, eight, I'm halfway there.

"Your robot is defective."

What does that mean?

Means my robot's broken.

But you don't even have a robot.

Emergency.

Emergency.

- That's your robot?

- At least I got one.

- Well, what does it do?

- Anything I want.

Get me a juice box, biatch!

- Don't do that!

- Why not? It's my robot.

- You might make it mad!

- It's 3 inches tall.

I'll punt it across the room.

It's my robot. The card says.

I never said it wasn't your robot!

You don't have to be such a jerk!

Dude, you're just jealous

I have a robot and you don't!

- Why would I want--

- Emergency.

Emergency.

Alien life form.

Must destroy.

Walter, I think he's talking about you.

Alien life form.

Must destroy.

Danny, take your turn.

- There's no key!

- Find it!

Take it, take it! Come on, hurry!

Take your turn!

Why didn't you go?!

I could have been killed!

I was scared, but it's okay.

He's gone, isn't he?

Danny, take your turn.

- Danny, give me the card.

- It's still moving.
