00:10Will Robinson
00:10Last week, as you recall, Will Robinson had set out a radio signal.
00:15Unaware that far out in the void of space,
00:18a strange missile-like object was even now homing in on it.
00:24You should know better than have the radio on during a storm, Will.
00:27But I thought I was getting something.
00:28Well, you can try again in the morning.
00:30It isn't safe to keep it open with a storm of this severity.
00:32Not safe? Why? What could happen?
00:36Well, when it's tuned this high,
00:37you could very easily bring one of those lightning bolts crashing down on us.
00:41Abnormally high wavelengths coupled with the electrical storm produce a homing signal.
00:46Homing signal?
00:47Then anything out there could home in on us? Anything at all?
00:51Well, that's hardly likely.
00:53With the exception of those lightning bolts,
00:54I don't think there's anything out there within light years of us.
00:56How do you know what's out there?
00:59A deadly runaway missile?
01:00Some sort of alien monstrosity just waiting to swoop down on us?
01:04Well, in that case, Dr. Smith,
01:06might I suggest that you man your post throughout the night?
01:09Because I'm going to bed.
01:11Come on, chap.
01:13There! There!
01:15You wouldn't believe me, Matheries!
01:21It's a missile, and it's headed straight for us.
01:41What do you think it could be, John?
01:43Your guess is as good as mine, darling.
01:46Well, whatever it is, it must have homed in on those radio signals Wilson up last night.
01:50The cheer is coming in fast.
01:52I hope it's not one of those alien monstrosities.
01:55It's no pigeon, that's for sure.
01:58That boy should never have been allowed to tamper with the radio.
02:00I wasn't tampering. I was trying to raise something.
02:03Space devils, no doubt.
02:05I never heard of space devils.
02:07Haven't you, my dear?
02:09Well, there's one, right there.
02:11A deadly intruder, swooping in on us with the speed of light.
02:15Spitting flame and cosmic dust.
02:17Burning up our precious oxygen.
02:19Spreading its lethal virus.
02:21It's honed in on us, all right.
02:23And approaching fast.
02:25There's just a possibility it may change its course.
02:29Until we know for sure we'd better sit tight.
02:32It's getting awfully close.
02:45It's landed.
02:52No sight of any movement.
02:57Well, we just can't wait for it to come to us.
03:00Don and I will take the robot and investigate.
03:02Break out the lasers.
03:06Splendid idea.
03:07However, I do believe the robot should stay here with me.
03:10That is, uh, us.
03:12Well, on second thought, I...
03:13I think I'd like to have you with us.
03:16Me?
03:17Out there?
03:18Defenseless?
03:19Oh, we all have our guns.
03:20What use are we gonna be against a monster
03:22who eats electrons for breakfast?
03:24You don't have to take one.
03:25If you don't want to, Doctor.
03:28What about me?
03:30Well, what about you?
03:31I'm responsible for it being here.
03:33You can't leave me out now.
03:35Please, Dad.
03:37Oh, I...
03:41Follow me.
03:43Oh, better still.
03:47I'll follow you.
03:49It's hot, man.
03:51Oh, not y'all.
03:52And you'll be late.
04:08Oh, stay better!
04:09Why not?
04:09Oh, on the boat, we need to have something over.
04:17Stop!
04:17Go ahead!
04:17Have you had a nice time?새.
04:37John must be just ahead let's take a look all right will you stay back here
04:46halt halt don't be afraid will just keep calm I am you see these alien creatures may be very
04:56terrifying you mustn't panic you know and don't tremble I'm not you are look at the robot object

06:52I
06:53I
06:53I'm Dr. Zachary Smith. Howdy, Doc.
06:57Where am I? We don't know.
07:00We're headed for Alpha Centauri. We went out of control and crashed.
07:03What about you?
07:05What about me? Oh, where were you headed?
07:08Well, that-a-way. That is until I picked up your signal.
07:11You see, Traveler Man, he's got a nose like an old hound dog for hunting down doggies.
07:15Now, of course, you're not what I call real doggies.
07:17What kind of a dog is Traveling Man?
07:19Oh, he ain't no dog, son. It's my shepherd.
07:22It's in pretty good shape, and he's a little charged enough, but pretty good shape.
07:26Mind if we take a look? No!
07:29Stay!
07:44So you don't know any more about this little old planet than I do, do you, Zach?
07:49Zach?
07:52Indeed.
07:54You know, I got a grandpa back in Big Springs by that name.
07:58Come think of it, you look a little bit like him.
08:00Of course, maybe he was a little more spry than you the last time I saw him.
08:04Appearances can be deceptive, you know.
08:07Yep, I'll allow you that.
08:09For instance, this little old planet here.
08:11It looked as big as Texas from up above.
08:13When you get right down to it, I think you could put it all in the panhandle.
08:16We haven't seen it all yet, Mr. Hapgood.
08:18Oh?
08:19How about its son? Do you know its name?
08:21No, sir.
08:23Well, how about that?
08:24Then you're all just like me, ain't you?
08:26He lost his wood tick on a ball mountain.
08:29It's a terrible thing, being lost.
08:33Sure is, if you're inclined to misery.
08:40Well, it's a fine ship in its class.
08:43Early 80s design, isn't it?
08:44Yeah, 82.
08:46That's the year it took off.
08:480600, June 18, 1982.
08:51That's more than 15 years ago.
08:53Oh, it's all that, sonny.
08:55What was your original mission?
08:56The Saturn landed.
08:58But I never made it.
09:00Well, what happened?
09:02Oh, nothing.
09:03Well, now, maybe I did look in on the wrong star.
09:07Curiosity.
09:08You know, Curiosity killed a cat one time, boy.
09:12Since then, there ain't hardly a spot in this galaxy I ain't touched.
09:15But I never did find a path that'd take me home.
09:18I guess they must have written me off back there a dozen years ago.
09:21We'd really like to hear more, but I think we should get back to the spaceship.
09:24Let the others know we're all right.
09:26Why, sure, you do that.
09:27You go ahead, and I'll secure the ship and join you.
09:30Will, would you like to stay with Mr. Hapgood?
09:32Show him the way back to the Jupiter II?
09:33Yes, sir.
09:34All right.
09:42I guess you've got me to thank for you being here, Mr. Hapgood.
09:45Oh?
09:47How come?
09:48I was trying to raise something on the radio last night when you picked up our signal.
09:52Bet you were surprised to find us.
09:55Oh, I'm not too surprised to find people, son.
09:57What are you surprised at?
10:02Well, I'll tell you, finding things that you know can't exist but do.
10:09Happenings that'll put your heart up in your mouth and your blood down your toes.
10:13Living things that breathe in fire and swim in ice.
10:18Yes, sir.
10:21And you know something, Sonny?
10:23I ain't even seen a smidgen of it yet.
10:26You don't really need to do that.
10:28The atmosphere is very clean here, not like it is back home.
10:31Huh?
10:33You mean tell me they found a way to lick that?
10:37Well, it ain't on account of dirt that I'm decontaminating traveling men.
10:41Why do you?
10:45Did you ever hear one man's meat being another man's poison?
10:50Well, I'm gonna tell you.
10:53You see, there could be, uh, spores on this planet or bacteria.
10:58And it could mix with alien spores that I might have brought in with me.
11:03Ain't no telling what could breathe from that if I didn't do this.
11:07Happened once.
11:08It did?
11:09Where?
11:11Well, I was, uh, I was coming in on this little dinky planet up on the Epsilon orbit.
11:16Epsilon, Indy?
11:18Oh.
11:20Erodinia.
11:20How'd you know about that?
11:22Studied astronomy.
11:23You did, did you?
11:26Well, anyhow, I looped this little bitty planet and I come on in.
11:29What did you find there?
11:32Why, it was pretty as a picture.
11:34It could have been springtime in the valley of the Rio Grande.
11:38Then it wasn't scary or anything?
11:41Well, not then.
11:42It was, though.
11:44You see, I went out to do a little sightseeing.
11:46And I come back to my ship.
11:47It was all a swarm with these outlandish bugs.
11:50And they weren't no bigger than locusts.
11:52But they were a hundred times as fierce.
11:54And they were tearing their way right through my hull.
11:57Eating metal?
11:58Well, that or something that was on it.
12:04Did you collect any specimens?
12:07Just a scar.
12:10Boy.
12:12I'll finish decontaminating your ship if you like.
12:15You would?
12:16How much you charge?
12:18Just another story of your adventures when they get back to camp.
12:21Buddy, you got yourself a deal.
12:24Hey, maybe I'll tell you about them crystal critters I run across out in the Ganymede.
12:30Now, son, they were something.
12:31Yes, sir.
13:12Wrong.
13:13Try running.
13:14One of these days I'm going to find something a man can smoke with enjoyment.
13:19Hey, Mr. Hapgood, wait for me!
13:21Come on!
13:52It can't be that bad.
13:54It's a new herb. I crossed with one of our own species.
13:57It's peppery.
14:04Is something wrong?
14:06No, nothing wrong, but...
14:09But what?
14:17Our visitor.
14:19What about him?
14:21I just looked over his ship.
14:23It's really in good condition.
14:26I think that Don and I can help him get back to Earth.
14:28Oh, that's wonderful, John.
14:30Have you told him?
14:36Not yet.
14:38Well, why not?
14:40After all, he...
14:47There's something you're not telling me.
14:52No.
14:53Now, have I ever kept anything from you?
14:58Just you try.
15:00I'd wring your neck.
15:09Now are you going to tell me?
15:13You remember when we first discussed our plans for the space flight?
15:17We couldn't decide whether we had the right to bring Will and Penny along?
15:25Yes, I remember.
15:27Have you ever regretted our decision?
15:48You want the truth?
15:52The truth.
15:57All right.
15:59It's possible to let them go.
16:01What?
16:01No, no.
16:02That good ship is big enough if we pull the ballast tanks.
16:07Oh, John, no.
16:09Do you know what you're saying?
16:12Well, not knowing how long we can last here, or if we can ever get the Jupiter to fly again.
16:17They deserve something more than that.
16:29Is that what you want?
16:34Yes.
16:40I suppose so.
16:43If anyone should go, it's the children.
16:49Oh.
17:11Delightful child.
17:14You are happy here, aren't you, my dear?
17:18Of course you are.
17:24I don't know.
17:25Sending whole families out into space somehow or another just doesn't seem right.
17:29All this makes me and traveling man feel like a kind of a horse and buggy.
17:34Mind if I look at the sign?
17:35Go right ahead.
18:02Navigational guidance system and spectroscope.
18:06It's a dandy piece of hardware you got there, boys.
18:09I wouldn't have no trouble getting home with a thing like that, would I?
18:14And then there'd be no more marathons, old Jimmy Hapgood.
18:16I'd settle down a little launch pad of my own.
18:21Well, we'll be glad to let you have it if it'll be of any help.
18:25Are you kidding?
18:26No, we stand a good chance of getting when we're going without it.
18:28Once we can fly.
18:30Are you absolutely sure?
18:31Now, are you absolutely sure you don't need that thing?
18:33No, we don't need it.
18:35Besides, you've been away too long.
18:36You deserve a chance to get back.
18:41Yeah.
18:42Earth.
18:45Back home.
18:51Something wrong?
18:53Well, the quickness of the mind has deceived the eye.
18:56Why?
18:57What do you mean?
18:59Well, I appreciate you give it, John, but that thing's too big.
19:01It's too heavy.
19:02Well, there must be something you can jettison.
19:05If I jettison any more than I already have, I'd have to walk home.
19:08It affects a lot, but better forget it.
19:10You give up too easily, gentlemen.
19:14Couldn't help overhearing.
19:16You may relax, gentlemen. I've just solved your problem.
19:20What you people seem to have overlooked in your great haste to send Mr. Hapgood on his way
19:25is that we have a smaller but identical mechanism that will definitely do the trick.
19:29And just where do you expect to find that?
19:32Right here.
19:35Come.
19:51Spectroscope, navigational guidance system, space sextant, the works.
19:57Well, bless your little old Ironsides.
19:59What are you getting from this, Smith?
20:02Only the satisfaction of knowing that I've made it possible for Mr. Hapgood
20:06to be reunited with his loved ones.
20:10How much time do we have?
20:14Well, if his liftoff's within 48 hours, our navigational guidance system
20:19could give him a lot on the crew to 60.
20:21Well, sure, boys. I could find my way home blindfolded from that friendly little beacon.
20:25Plenty of time.
20:27Now, we'll do the operation below.
20:29All instruments to be sterile, of course.
20:31And we'll follow the routine surgical procedure.
20:34It's quite simple, really.
20:37Not too different from a kidney transplant.
20:39Excuse me. I must scrub up.
20:43I think an underestimated sack.
20:46He's a lot more spry than my grandpa ever was.
21:01Micro wrench, please.
21:17Ratchet driver.
21:20Warning. Warning.
21:23What is it this time?
21:25Attitude stabilizer.
21:27Losing power. Losing power.
21:32Poor old thing.
21:33He doesn't like this one bit.
21:36Why don't you switch him off?
21:39I need his alert cooperation.
21:42Although I could use some local anesthesia if there were such a thing.
21:46Warning. Warning.
21:48Vidicom film exposed.
21:51Close shutter.
22:01I wish you'd told me that sooner.
22:05Are you sure that's painless?
22:08Completely.
22:13How much longer are you going to be?
22:15If you were more familiar with the delicacy of this procedure, you wouldn't ask.
22:21Well, all I know is that I got a star to catch in about 48 hours.
22:25You'll catch it.
22:31I didn't know our robot had one of these.
22:34Zack, time's wasted.
22:36Warning. Warning.
22:38Losing directional capability.
22:41Losing wobble damper.
22:43Losing spectral.
22:45Navigation unit inoperative.
22:49Ah.
22:51A surgical masterpiece.
22:54Even though I do say so myself.
22:58Everything go now. Eh, Jimmy, my boy?
23:01Well, now all we have to do is get it on my vehicle.
23:03That won't take too long.
23:06Right now, I believe there is some cause for celebration.
23:17Would you like some more of my mother's space pie, Mr. Hapgood?
23:20Jim.
23:21If I have one more bite, I won't be able to get in my space suit.
23:24Oh, not even a little bit?
23:28Well, honey.
23:30Anything that suits you, suits me just fine.
23:36I don't think I want to go, Mother.
23:39Neither do I.
23:40It's not a question of choice, children.
23:43Going back to Earth is something your mother and I believe is right for you.
23:47We wanted you to be prepared before we speak to Mr. Hapgood about it.
23:53Well, if you think it's best, Mother.
23:55We do, dear.
23:57Is that all, sir?
24:00Yes, that's all.
24:02Now, I'm off to bed with you.
24:04Go on.
24:12Hey, there they are.
24:14Maureen.
24:16The last time I sat down to a home-cooked meal like that was a day or two before I
24:20took off and I was with my family.
24:22Oh, Jim.
24:23That was a long time ago.
24:26You know, nothing in space has ever welcomed me and I'm sure it's been the same with you.
24:31It seems like no matter where you go, they got the place posted.
24:35It says, keep out.
24:37Enter at your own risk.
24:40Pretty soon you begin to feel like there's no difference between living and dying.
24:46And that's the way it's been for me.
24:49And me and you always change all that.
24:52There is a difference.
24:54There's a big difference between living and dying.
24:56And I've just about forgotten about it.
25:01Look at that.
25:03Do you ever see so many stars in all your life?
25:06It seems like they're right there just for the taking.
25:11If a man could live forever, he'd really have it made, wouldn't he?
25:17Hey, I hate to eat and run, but I gotta get back to the ship.
25:22I gotta lay in that guiding system.
25:25Hey, John, I ain't got enough solar energy stored up by now, don't you think?
25:28Oh, I'd say so.
25:28Hey, Jim.
25:30Jim.
25:35I haven't mentioned this before because...
25:38Well, neither Maureen or I were sure about it, but we are now.
25:42Sure about what?
25:43When you leave tomorrow, we want you to take Will and Penny with you.
25:50The kids?
25:51Yes.
25:52Let me get this straight.
25:53You want me to take Will and Penny and Traveling Man and go where?
25:57Well, back to Earth, Jim.
25:59You gotta be joking.
26:01No, this is no joke.
26:02You've got a very good chance of getting back.
26:08Forget it.
26:10I said forget it.
26:13I'd have to be out of my mind to take on something like that.
26:15Me and two kids and Traveling Man, I'd be signing their death warner as well as my own.
26:20I'm a little surprised, John, that you'd have something like that in your mind.
26:23Or that you'd expect me to go along with it.
26:25Well, I was just thinking of them.
26:27Well, it's too bad you didn't think about them before you found out that space don't take too kindly to
26:30family outings.
26:32You're not out of gas on a highway back home, mister.
26:35You're way out yonder.
26:36And there ain't no highways way out yonder.
26:39As far as I'm concerned, you're out of luck.
26:43I've got some start charts in the spaceship that'll help you.
26:47I'll get them.
26:54Have good.
26:56I think you owe him an apology.
26:58Get out of my way, sonny.
27:00I said you owe him an apology.
27:02I don't owe him nothing, but I thank you for a meal that quit giving me pleasure about two minutes
27:06ago.
27:06Now, get out of my way.
27:19Is, uh, is that your best shot?
27:24Yee-haw!
27:25Come on here, boy.
27:26Try it again.
27:27Right there.
27:27Come on.
27:27Right on, champion.
27:28Hey, hey.
27:31Uh-oh.
27:31Let me out there and miss him.
27:45Hey, hold it.
27:46Want some more?
27:46Just a minute here.
27:49Oh!
28:07Don't tell me you're not finished yet.
28:17All right.
28:19I apologize, but I still ain't gonna take them kits.
28:42Ah, good morning.
28:43Good morning.
28:45Howdy.
28:46I must say you showed good sound, horse sense, yesterday to me, my boy.
28:50I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed listening to you.
28:54Oh?
28:55Listen to what?
28:57Why, uh, your answer to that ridiculous suggestion they made to you.
29:02Hmm.
29:03Well, impractical is what it was.
29:05Very.
29:06Imagine being cooped up in that splendid little vehicle of yours with a pair of extremely undisciplined and precocious brats.
29:16Now, you don't have to go call them names, Zack.
29:18They're just normal kids, that's all.
29:21They just don't belong with me and Traveling Man.
29:23Precisely the point.
29:25They don't belong in Traveling Man any more than I belong here on this benighted planet.
29:32Well, now, that was a chance you took when you volunteered.
29:36I volunteered?
29:39Oh, my dear Jimmy.
29:40I was literally shanghaied.
29:45There I was, in my capacity as President of the Zachary Smith Engineering Corporation.
29:52Giving my final blessing to the Jupiter II, which owes so much to my own engineering skill.
29:59When, poof, I was whisked into space.
30:05And here I am.
30:07I thought you were a medical man.
30:10I have degrees in both medicine and science.
30:14So very useful on a long flight.
30:18So you see, Jimmy, if there is anyone who is rightfully eligible to go back to Earth with you,
30:23it can only be myself.
30:26And incidentally, about that little launch pad you mentioned,
30:32I could engineer that for you right off the top of my head.
30:37And, of course, there'd be no charge.
30:44Well, you know, Zach, you being such a good engineer and all,
30:49I think you'd better engineer yourself another way out of this.
30:53Because traveling men don't carry no passengers.
30:57What on earth is that supposed to mean?
31:00Always leave my mark any place I go.
31:07And that one?
31:08That one's my 91st.
31:12Well, here today.
31:18And gone tomorrow.
31:31Howdy.
31:33Hello, Apgood.
31:40Say, if you fellas still mad at me, you just say so and I'll leave.
31:44We're not angry.
31:47At least I'm not.
31:53You still mad?
31:55No. I'm just sorry I didn't hit you any harder.
31:59It was a pretty good fight, wasn't it?
32:01Yeah, that it was.
32:03Oh, yeah.
32:08Say, you still want me to have that guidance system?
32:10I mean, since I'm not taking the kids?
32:13Sure, take it.
32:14Somebody might as well get home.
32:19Well, I guess I'd better go run a check on traveling, man.
32:21I haven't done that yet.
32:23I can't.
32:24You want to give me a hand with us?
32:25All right.
32:32All right.
32:38Are you all right?
32:39It's my bag.
32:42We'll get you in the shell.
32:43Oh, here.
32:46Let me help.
32:50Get Dr. Smith.
32:51Mother, I wish now I hadn't hit him.
32:53Well, just get Dr. Smith.
32:54Do you think he'll be able to leave today?
32:56Well, we'll know as soon as Dr. Smith examines him.
33:06How are you feeling?
33:08Oh, all right.
33:10I'll be all right in the morning, according to Zack.
33:13What's that?
33:14Well, I call it space chowder.
33:18I've been more troubled to you folks than an old goat in a paper mill.
33:21Oh, not at all.
33:23Why, you've probably saved the men a month's extra work.
33:26We're very grateful to you.
33:32Well, look, about, uh, Will and Penny, I, uh...
33:37You are the commander of your ship.
33:39Your decision is the only one that matters.
33:57Well, here I am.
33:59Found this bell and raring to go.
34:01Would you like another cup of coffee before you do?
34:03Oh, no, thanks.
34:04I gotta get back and run that check on traveling men.
34:05Can I go?
34:07Oh, sure.
34:08Can we?
34:09I'll tell you that story I promised you on the way.
34:16Looked like a big fish more than anything else.
34:19All mouth and long feeler is where its eyes ought to be.
34:22Low gravity would count for that, I guess.
34:24See, there's hardly any atmosphere.
34:25Well, it came right up to the ship.
34:27And the second it touched metal...
34:29Sam!
34:30There was a well that exploded.
34:37Stay here.
35:02Stay here.
35:08Stay here.
35:11Stay here.
35:13Feel safe.
35:14Stay here.
35:15Stay here.
35:16Stay here.
35:18Stay here.
35:18Stay here.
35:19Stay here.
35:20Stay here.
35:21Stay here.
35:24It's the same as the ship.
35:44It's a key contaminator.
35:45It's in the cabin.
35:45Get it.
35:52It's all right, Penny.
35:54Hold on, Penny.
35:55Hold on, Penny.
35:56All right.
36:33What do you want to go and do a fool thing like that for?
36:36Thank you for...
36:40Sorry, honey.
36:40You go and cry.
36:41It's good for you.
36:43And don't you laugh at her either, boy.
36:45All right, yeah.
36:47Hey!
36:48Will!
36:54Andy, what happened?
36:56I guess I didn't decontaminate Traveling Man as good as I should have.
37:00I fell into one of those things and Mr. Hapgood, he pulled me out of it.
37:04You what?
37:05Well, now, don't make a mountain out of a molehill there, young lady.
37:08She's all right.
37:10Don, how much time I got left?
37:13Six hours.
37:15John?
37:16You and Maureen better get the kids briefed for that long ride.
37:23That is, if you're still willing to entrust them to me.
37:28They'll be ready any time you are.
37:32We'll go back to the ship and get their gear.
37:33Come on.
37:39It's a real good thing you're doing, Hap.
37:51You can't be serious, Jimmy.
37:53Two noisy, whining children.
37:55Always wanting a drink of water.
37:57No intelligent adult conversation.
37:58Why, you'll go quite mad before you reach Earth.
38:00Well, I'd be happy taking along with me, Zack.
38:04This is the right thing I'm doing.
38:06And I'm gonna do it.
38:07But don't you see, Jimmy.
38:08You're making a serious mistake.
38:10You've simply got to listen to me.
38:16Of course, I've explained to your parents that I cannot be held entirely responsible for the transplant of that navigation
38:23equipment.
38:24Is something wrong with it?
38:26Oh, no.
38:27It's working perfectly now.
38:29But, uh, for how long?
38:33Who can tell?
38:35That's a chance we'll have to take, I guess.
38:37Yes, I'm afraid you will.
38:40Come in, dear.
38:42Although, I must say, I cannot understand your parents' attitude.
38:48In fact, I'm a little shocked by it.
38:52What do you mean?
38:54Yes, what do you mean, Dr. Smith?
38:57Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned it.
38:59But children don't have to know how their parents feel about an important decision.
39:04And you can't ask them.
39:06Why not?
39:08Think how badly they'd feel if you forced them to lie to you.
39:14Remember one thing.
39:16Before they say goodbye to you, perhaps for the last time, your parents may weaken.
39:23The heartbreak may be too much for them.
39:26But you, you must be strong.
39:30Pretend your very hardest that you don't see the tears in their eyes when they try to convince themselves that
39:37this party is best for you.
39:43You mean they don't want us to leave?
39:47I've said too much already.
39:49You needn't be afraid to tell us. It won't change anything.
39:52I should hope not.
39:55But after all, they are your parents.
39:59I wouldn't blame the average child for refusing to go if he learned how happy his parents would be if
40:05he stayed.
40:06In fact, I think the average child would probably do something quite ridiculous.
40:12Run away and hide.
40:16Or something equally absurd. Just so he wouldn't have to go.
40:21But you and Penny are not average children, are you?
40:25Oh, no.
40:28Oh, no.
40:39What time is it?
40:411833 hours.
40:42Add the signal.
40:45Do you wish a reading broken down into microseconds?
40:48That won't be necessary.
40:52Hapgood should be leaving in less than half an hour.
40:57If my estimate is correct, things should start to happen right about now.
41:05John?
41:07I can't find the children.
41:09Maybe they were over at Hapgood's ship.
41:11No, don't yet.
41:38They're nowhere in the area.
41:39Oh, where can they be?
41:40Judy, call Jim. Tell him to hold up as long as he possibly can.
41:45John, they didn't really want to go. Maybe we should...
41:48They're going.
41:52If you could hold up just a little bit longer.
41:56Look, honey, if I delay past my launch time, I may never get off this piece of real estate.
42:00But, Mr. Hapgood, they're bound to find them.
42:03I'm real sorry.
42:04But if I don't have passengers aboard in 20 minutes, it's going to have to be a solo flight.
42:11Sure will be nice getting back.
42:14Settle down the little, uh, launch pad of our own, maybe.
42:18Up-to-date space, Jimmy.
42:20I could run charter flights to the moon.
42:24Don't sound too exciting, though, does it, Jimmy?
42:30Now, look out there now, Hapgood.
42:32You got the kids to think of, Will and Finney.
42:36That was a promise.
42:39Yep.
42:41I'm going to sit down right alongside Alpha Control and hand them over.
42:44That's what I'm going to do.
42:55Oh, Penny.
42:56I know you thought it was best for us, but you really didn't want us to go, did you?
43:00I'm yourscheidans!
43:17Hapgood! Hapgood! Hapgood, come back! Come back! You can't do this Jimmy! Don't leave me here. Hapgood!
43:27Come on!
43:39Traveling man to Jupiter 2. Traveling man to Jupiter 2.
43:43This is Jupiter 2. Jim?
43:45This is Robinson. What's your position?
43:49I'm 22 minutes out, John. All systems are good and go.
43:53Do you have Will and Penny with you?
43:55We found them.
43:57I knew you would.
43:59Look, I was all set to take them with me.
44:03But they weren't too keen on going back to Earth, and that's the truth.
44:07Well, neither was I, and you get right down to it.
44:11We thought you were.
44:13So did I.
44:15I got to thinking it over.
44:17You know, John, I figured there ain't nothing down there that I haven't seen or done twice.
44:23But out here, I ain't hardly scratched the surface.
44:37You still with me?
44:38Right with you.
44:40Well, I sure want to thank you for your hospitality.
44:44And if I get within hollering distance of Earth, I'll sure tell where you are.
44:50I know you folks have a hard time understanding a fella like me.
44:55And sometimes I do myself.
44:58There's one thing I know.
45:01That if I go back now, I'm going to be going back to be put out to pasture like an
45:07old race horse that's done with living.
45:12And I got too much to do to be ready for that.
45:17I hope Will and Penny aren't too disappointed in me.
45:20But I got to thinking that it wouldn't be right to separate them from their family.
45:27Too hard on all of us, I guess.
45:33It's getting a little busy out here, John.
45:36There's a Noma coming in.
45:42It's all purple and silver and gold.
45:45Hey!
45:46Look at that gold, boy!
45:47I'm going to get back to you later.
45:53And we're not through with living, either.
45:56Yahoo!
45:58Hello, me.
46:02Watch out.
46:37I've got the explosives.
46:38We'll be able to blast through now.
46:40Will, get behind that rock.
46:42Yes, sir.
46:43Give me your hand with the rig, Don.
46:49Come on.
46:52Come on.
47:25Let's sing.
47:32Come on.
47:34Let's go.
48:05Daddy?
48:08Cut the blasting switch.
48:09I can't. It's already firing.
48:10Well, check the wires.
48:34I can't. It's already firing.
49:04I can't. It's already firing.
49:19I can't. It's already firing.
