TVTranscript
00:02Last week, as you recall, our space family's lost planet was rocked by a series of savage earthquakes.
00:08Little did they dream that in less than 20 desperate hours, a cataclysmic explosion would rip apart the planet's core
00:14and disintegrate their entire world into galactic dust.
00:18Penny, you look like one of those old-fashioned milkmaids coming back from the pastures.
00:23You know, it would be good to see a pasture again, walking through the grass, looking for four-leaf clover,
00:29waiting...
00:30No, no, no!
00:31No, no, no!
00:32Here!
00:34Penny!
00:36Back in the ship, go!
00:38Go!
00:39Go!
00:41Go!
00:42Here!
00:43Here!
00:46Yeah!
00:46Penny!
00:53They're stacking off!
00:55Oh, oh, oh.
00:58You think it's bad up at the drill site?
01:00I don't think so.
01:01But it could be heading their way.
01:03I better warn them.
01:07Don!
01:08Come in, Don!
01:10I don't know what's causing this disturbance, but I do know one thing.
01:13It's happening at a depth that could crack the core of this planet and lay it wide open.
01:17Don! Come in, Don!
01:18Right here, John.
01:19Listen, that last batch of detronium fuel tested out just fine.
01:22I think we've finally got all we need.
01:24Well, that's good news.
01:25How about the earthquake?
01:26Did it give you any trouble?
01:28Earthquake?
01:28What earthquake?
01:29We got it here, but good.
01:31And deeper than anything we ever had before.
01:33You better pack your gear and get back here right away.
01:34The next one we'll hit in your area.
01:36We'll start right back.
01:37Judy, get Will and Smith.
01:38I'll start loading the equipment.
01:41In the presence of appreciative colleagues and fellow voyagers, I now unveil...
01:45Will!
01:46Dr. Smith!
01:47We're leaving.
01:48Shhh!
01:50Dad just called.
01:51He said there might be an earthquake right here in this very area.
01:54Am I or am I not going to receive the reverence this ceremony deserves?
01:58You've got it, Dr. Smith.
02:04As I was saying, William, you too, I now unveil this noble monument.
02:15A temple of immortality to the living and imperishable memory of Dr. Zachary Smith.
02:21I name thee Spirit of Space.
02:29But, Dr. Smith, it doesn't even look like you.
02:33It is the abstract, artistic concept of my inner self.
02:36Now can we leave?
02:38My dear boy, have you no regard for the sanctity of this moment?
02:40We've got to get out of here.
02:42Didn't you hear what Judy said?
02:43We might be right in the middle of...
02:45Ah!
02:46Ah!
02:48Ah!
02:49Get up!
02:49Get up!
02:50Get up!
02:50Ah!
03:00You okay?
03:01How about you?
03:02Your father was almost right.
03:04He said the next one may hit in this area.
03:05Where's Smith and Wil?
03:07They were on the other side of the ridge when it happened.
03:09Come on.
03:11Ah!
03:12Not even a crack.
03:14It will endure forever.
03:17Ah!
03:19Well, look at you.
03:39Oh, look!
03:39Oh, my dear Äu.
03:42It's worse.
03:48Oh, my traslata!
05:00Snoopingest bunch you ever met.
05:01What are you after?
05:02Our drill site's up there.
05:04That's where we get the fuel for our ship.
05:05And may I add, sir, that we are not addicted to snooping.
05:08We were much too involved dedicating my monument.
05:12Monument?
05:16Beats me why a living man want a fool with, uh, dead stone.
05:24On the contrary, my dear sir, it will outlast us all.
05:28Even that earthquake left it completely unharmed.
05:32That was no earthquake.
05:33That was me, blasting.
05:35I'd put up a sign if I'd known I was going to have company.
05:40Name's, uh, Nero.
05:43What's yours?
05:44I'm Will Robinson.
05:45Will.
05:46And, uh, I am Dr. Zachary's...
05:51Have you been here long, Mr. Nero?
05:53Oh, long enough to get my barrens.
06:04I didn't mean any harm.
06:06No offense.
06:08Where do you come from?
06:10Oh, uh, hither and, uh, yon, in, uh, in the galaxy of the southern fish.
06:15Uh, Holmes, uh, catacorned from, uh, Fomalhawk, if you know where that is.
06:20Well, I've heard of it.
06:21My dear sir, at the risk of appearing curious, may I ask, what were you blasting for?
06:28Cosmonium.
06:29Cosmonium.
06:30Cosm.
06:32I don't believe I've ever heard of it.
06:34I don't suppose it's very, uh, precious?
06:37Well, it is.
06:38If you know how to get it and what to do with it.
06:42Purely out of scientific curiosity, Mr. Nero, I wonder if we might be allowed to inspect your mining operation.
06:49Oh, naturally, we will reciprocate by letting you see our drill site.
06:53Well, I reckon there's no harm.
06:55Um, uh, I got, uh, claim all staked, uh.
07:00Follow me?
07:00Yes.
07:01Dr. Smith, we've got to get back.
07:03Nonsense, my boy.
07:04It's only because they feared we had an earthquake.
07:06But when we return, we'll inform them that it was just some of Mr. Nero's harmless blasting.
07:12Didn't look so harmless to me.
07:16Don't quibble, Will.
07:17Come along.
07:20And now, sir, where is your mine entrance?
07:24Oh, down there.
07:25It ain't a bad little ride.
07:27It's been, uh, hard to degravitize.
07:30So, just do as I do.
07:35I don't see him down there.
07:37Neither do I.
07:43Well, we mustn't allow our fear to subdue our scientific curiosity, must we?
07:50Well, then let's go.
07:55Oh, what?
07:57Oh, my frighten.
07:58I don't like this at all.
07:59Wow.
08:00Hey, wait.
08:10That wasn't too much of a drop, was it?
08:14How do we get back up?
08:16Well, the same way you got down, sonny.
08:19Just blow a little air out of your lungs to get you stirred, that's all, and kick off.
08:27Hey, hey.
08:28Hey, you, uh, you need that heavier boost than you got on to walk around here.
08:33Here, uh, I'll, uh, I'll sweep them out of the way.
08:37But, but this is very, they're diamonds.
08:41Dang nuisance is all they are to me.
08:43No sooner do I sweep one lot out of the way than there's another slew of them dropping down from
08:48the ceiling.
08:53See what I mean?
08:55Uh, now, uh, let's, uh, get over here, and I'll show you my refining plan.
09:00Hey, uh, come on, sonny.
09:03Miss Denary, is it possible that what you refine is more precious than diamonds?
09:09Ha, ha, ha.
09:10You sure ask a lot of fool questions.
09:14A man don't go prospecting a dozen light years from home.
09:19Less than it's worth his while.
09:22Here, you must start shoveling ore, Zack boy.
09:29Zack boy, indeed.
09:34Will, would you mind?
09:36My back is very delicate today.
09:44Faster.
09:45Faster.
09:46Faster.
09:47Faster.
09:48Faster.
09:50Faster.
09:50Faster.
09:50Faster.
09:50Faster.
09:50Faster.
09:53Faster.
09:54I'll be ready to draw some off in a minute.
09:58Aren't you going to an awful lot of trouble just to fill that tiny flask?
10:02Quiet, Will.
10:02Good things always come in small doses.
10:05Miss Denary may be in the process of capturing the very quintessence of, uh, just what is cosmonium?
10:11The quintessence of, Miss Denary?
10:13That there is a mighty pretty word, Zack boy.
10:18Quintessence is just what this is.
10:22Quiet.
10:23And here he comes.
10:42Another two or three of these, and I'll be ready to pull out.
10:46But aren't you going to tell us what its properties are, Mr. Nairim?
10:48Oh, I assure you, sir, whatever you care to reveal will be held in the strictest confidence.
10:52You have my word of honor on that.
10:53It looks like you've got little bits of sun there, Mr. Nairim.
10:56Don't be ridiculous, Will. What possible use could there be for little bits of sun?
11:01Oh, the boy's smarter than you are, Zach, boy.
11:07Bits of sun is just about what this is.
11:11Quintessence of the living force that thaws the ice and melts the snow and...
11:17puts living breath in everything that grows.
11:20That's a sight more precious than diamonds, isn't it, Zach, boy?
11:25Cosmonium, the quintessence of the living force.
11:30It's beyond price.
11:32Beyond any price you could come up with, mister.
11:34Well, you boys better get on up top.
11:39I've got some more blasting to do.
11:45Are you sure that blasting isn't kind of dangerous?
11:48No.
11:49I know the geology of this here planet's like the back of my hand.
11:53A little shaking here and there don't do it no harm.
11:56Don't forget to blow out some bread when you're in the shack.
12:00Oh, Miss Denarius, we shall, of course, meet again.
12:04Can't take a no good reason why I'm sure.
12:12Perhaps I'll think of a reason.
12:20Naturally, we shall hold the Denarius' revelations in the strictest confidence I've all.
12:24I promised you.
12:25Blow, Dr. Smith.
12:27Aye, sir.
12:29You've got to kick off.
12:31Oh, yes.
12:32Kick off.
12:42Will?
12:43Dr. Smith?
12:45Over here, Judy!
12:47Didn't you hear us call you?
12:48Where have you been?
12:49Like the cows of the desert, we found shelter from the storm in a natural harbor.
12:53Now make like a racehorse at the track.
12:55We've got to get back to the ship.
12:56Racehorse indeed, Major.
13:00No, no.
13:01This way, you blithery bunk.
13:10That second quake that you got at the drill site gave us a reading twice as intense as the one
13:13we got here.
13:14I don't think this planet can stand much more.
13:16Well, John, what will happen to it?
13:31There's nothing more than that, my boy.
13:37Hold on, please.
13:39What kind of voyagers don't seem to have very good sea legs, do they?
13:42They're not even good land lovers.
13:51There. There. It's over.
13:59And I think how much cosmonia Mr. Nerium will get after this.
14:03Not that I envy him, of course.
14:06But what wouldn't I give to have it?
14:14Begin report on seismic disturbance.
14:17Mio-seismal area of shock increasing.
14:20Region of seismic focus now distributed over entire planet.
14:25Subterranean displacement of geologic structure total and continuous.
14:31Core of planet in condition of molten ferment.
14:35It's worse than I thought.
14:36How bad?
14:37Well, I'm afraid we're on a merry-go-round of chain reaction.
14:40In a matter of hours, this planet will cease to exist.
14:43It'll disintegrate into cosmic dust.
14:46Cosmic dust, my dear professor. Cosmic dust indeed.
14:50Dr. Smith, would you prefer gamma rays?
14:54Ah, well, I don't suppose I'd be betraying too much of a confidence if I told you
14:57that all of these alarums and excursions are merely the result of some completely harmless detonations
15:03set off by a most remarkable mining engineer, my very good friend, Mr. Nerium.
15:09And just where is this very remarkable mining engineer, Dr. Smith?
15:15Oh, he's buried.
15:16No, Dad, he's really there. We both saw him.
15:19He's got a big excavation down there up near the drill site and lots of equipment for...
15:23For his own private smelting process.
15:25What does he smelt?
15:26You wouldn't understand, my dear, any more than I do.
15:29But after all, this is a free planet.
15:36It's a disintegrating planet, Dr. Smith.
15:38And regardless of what your very good friend, Mr. Nerium, told you about his detonations being harmless,
15:44I'm convinced he doesn't know what he's doing.
15:45And he's made it impossible for us to remain here any longer.
15:48Well, can't we stop him from doing any more blasting?
15:51If we could, darling, it wouldn't do any good.
15:53He's begun a destructive process that can't be stopped.
15:55Calm, calm, Professor. Let's not throw everyone into a tizzy.
15:59I can assure you I'm a most reliable authority.
16:01Never mind the reliable authority, Smith. I agree with John.
16:04This may be a free planet, but your buddy, whoever he is, has made a condemned world out of it.
16:09How long do we have?
16:11Twelve, fifteen hours at the outside.
16:13That means all systems have to be go tomorrow morning at 0600.
16:16Especially the fuel system.
16:17And your destination is where?
16:20Where it's always been, Smith, Alpha Centauri.
16:22Indeed.
16:23I might have considered yielding to your panicky pressures if your destination were Earth.
16:28But under the circumstances, I can only repeat that your apprehensions are ill-founded.
16:32I find this all rather a bore.
16:34I think I'll take a nap.
16:37Stand aside, please.
16:46Well, he doesn't understand a thing you've been telling him.
16:49No, we'll deal with him later.
16:52You better take the children and clear out the light stuff from the camp area.
16:55Don and I will take care of the heavy equipment.
16:57We're going to have a weight problem for take-off cell.
16:59Just throw out everything we don't need.
17:01Right.
17:01All right.
17:02Come on, children.
17:10He's got work to do.
17:18John, do you think we'll be able to make it?
17:19It's really going to be touch and go.
17:40You never realize how much stuff you accumulate until you have to get rid of it.
17:45Proving that the acquisitive instinct is still with us.
17:48Come on, now help me fold up this table.
17:50We're going to need that.
17:51All right.
17:53Mom says I have to get rid of all this junk.
17:56Well, that's what you're supposed to do with junk, isn't it?
17:58But it's my own special junk.
17:59I'm very fond of it.
18:03Well, maybe if you left the bloop behind, you could take some of it.
18:06Will, how could you?
18:08I was only kidding.
18:28I thought that was another one of Dr. Smith's friends' harmless detonations.
18:31That was the aftereffect of all the earlier ones.
18:33I studied those ore samples from the drill site.
18:36The inner shell of this planet's cracking, releasing the molten iron core.
18:39We're going to have to lift off sooner than we planned.
18:41Ready or not?
18:42We'll be ready.
18:43Let's get back to work.
18:46What is all this?
18:47Some sort of midnight revel?
18:49Hammering, thumping, screeching at the top of your voices, disturbing my nap.
18:53We happen to have a deadline for liftoff, Dr. Smith. Remember?
18:56Oh, that again.
18:57Come on, girls.
18:57Cosmic dust, molten core and gamma rays.
18:59All that bogeyman terminology for scaring children.
19:02How tiresome it all is.
19:05Can't you get it through that thick skull of your, Smith,
19:08that this planet is cracking up and they're worth getting off it before it does?
19:11Oh, yes, Major. Cracking up.
19:13Another bogeyman word.
19:15Well, Godspeed to you, as they say.
19:16Is there anything I can do to expedite your departure?
19:19Yes.
19:19As a matter of fact, you can take the chariot, go up to the drill site,
19:21pick all the equipment up that's lying around and bring it back here.
19:26Delighted to oblige.
19:27As a matter of fact, I was thinking of going over there this evening
19:29to have a little chat with my friend, Mr. Nerim,
19:32so that, in actual fact, I will be killing two birds with one stone, so to speak.
19:36May I have the key to the chariot?
19:39Thank you, Major.
19:41Never fear.
19:42Smith is here.
19:49Oh, my darling.
19:51Oh, my darling.
19:52Oh, my darling.
19:53Oh, my dear Cosmonium.
19:55Oh!
20:00What's here?
20:03We got us a heap of trouble, Robert.
20:07Uh, you ain't been gnawing on this here thruster control, have you?
20:13Mm, real trouble is what we got, Robert.
20:18Blasted too much rock for my own good.
20:20This here planet is falling apart, and here we are without no way to get off of it,
20:24before it does.
20:27Oh, looks like we got company.
20:31Oh, him again.
20:34Mr. Nerim.
20:36Mr. Nerim, my great old friend.
20:39I saw your lamp in the window from afar, and I knew your latch string would be out for me.
20:44What are you after now?
20:46But, uh, but, my dear sir, you misjudge me.
20:51Possibly you don't realize it, but I have been your most loyal defender.
20:55You can't defend what ain't been attacked.
20:57But you have been attacked, sir, from all sides.
21:00My fellow travelers, or should I say my ex-fellow travelers, are convinced that because of your blasting,
21:06this planet in a matter of hours will disintegrate into cosmic dust.
21:10Now, isn't that ridiculous?
21:12It, it is ridiculous, isn't it?
21:15Well, it's the stupidest fool nonsense I ever heard.
21:20This here planet has got layers and layers of rock, so solid,
21:25you could lay a burning sun right on it, and the sun would just burn itself out and leave the
21:33planet untouched.
21:35That's exactly what I told them, but they wouldn't listen.
21:38They're leaving for Alpha Centauri. Of course, they'll never make it.
21:41As a matter of fact, I seriously doubt whether their ship is capable of leaving the ground.
21:47You always get this happy when other folks is in trouble, Zack boy.
21:52Well, Mr. Miriam, I feel for them. I do.
21:56But they're really not my kind.
21:58There's not one among them I could call partner.
22:03Partner.
22:08Are you, uh, aiming to be, uh, my partner?
22:15Nothing would please me more.
22:17Prospecting is in my blood, you see.
22:20My great-great-grandfather was a 49er,
22:22and my uncle Thaddeus discovered the Comstock load all by himself.
22:28Of course, they were only after mere gold.
22:32Not anything as priceless as cosmonium.
22:36They never would have understood its worth as we do.
22:39Eh, partner?
22:43I've got to be honest with you, Zacky.
22:48Uh, I've been a loner most of my life, uh,
22:50and I'm getting too old to change now.
22:53Uh, this little polka cosmonium is about the last of the diggings for me.
22:58It's gonna be like my pension fund if I ever get back home.
23:02Uh, that don't look like I ever will now.
23:05Why not?
23:08Uh...
23:09Busted thruster control on my spaceship.
23:13Ah, give anything for a spare.
23:15Even gamble with my pension fund.
23:18You would?
23:20You would gamble with this priceless substance?
23:24Most of it, I reckon. If I had to.
23:27Oh, but what's the use?
23:30Uh, no one's gonna bet with me.
23:32Well, uh, be of good cheer, my friend.
23:39The sky's always darkest just before the dawn.
23:42Huh?
23:43Every cloud has a silver lining.
23:46It... it does.
23:48Yes.
23:49And it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good.
23:54I may return.
24:22It's an ill wind that has money to be required.
24:23You see?
24:24Look.
24:24Oh, I'm sorry.
24:24To be honest!
24:26I'm sorry, Mary.
24:26I'm sorry.
24:31Oh, I'm sorry, Mary.
24:32I'm sorry, not my mother.
24:32improve each shining hour. Dr. Smith, we are not bees, and there is nothing very
24:38shining about three o'clock in the morning. We just all happen to have a
24:41very sensible instinct for self-preservation. Sensible, madam. I don't
24:45wish to sound discouraging, dear lady, but the chances of the Jupiter II being
24:48able to budge from this spot are roughly a thousand to one against. I can assure
24:53you without fear of contradiction that this planet, like the Jupiter itself, is
24:57here to stay.
25:04Roll them, partner. Roll the dice. The quintessence of the living force. Take one drop in bedtime and live forever.
25:15Oh, Dr. Smith, do you still think this planet is here to stay?
25:19Indubitably, madam.
25:22Madam.
25:25Will, can you get me the sodomin' kit, please?
25:27Sure, dear.
25:37Why not face it, gentlemen? I'm afraid that all the King's horses and all the King's men will never put
25:42Jupiter together again.
25:43You wanna bet?
25:44I'd be stealing your money, Major.
25:47Smith, if you haven't anything more constructive to contribute, get outside and unload the chariot.
25:51That's really what I came in to talk to you about, Professor. My mission was a failure.
25:55I lost my way.
25:57If you lost your way, you've been up there a hundred times, but never in the dark.
26:01Here, Dad.
26:04It means losing a couple of hours of my working here if I go up now.
26:07Maybe we'd better just forget it.
26:08No, some of that equipment may be vital to us if and when we land on Alpha Centauri.
26:12Maybe I should go with him, Dad. I've been up there at night.
26:16All right, Dr. Smith. We can go back up there with Will.
26:19But regardless of how you feel about such bogey words as cosmic dust, I want you both back here within
26:24two hours at the outside.
26:26Your wish is my command, sir.
26:37We're almost there, Dr. Smith.
26:39I thought you said you didn't know your way in the dark.
26:42Did I?
26:43Well, perhaps my eyes have grown accustomed to the darkness by now.
26:46There's a turn-off.
26:48Later, my boy. Later.
26:49I have a little something to deliver to Mr. Nerim.
26:52The poor man needs a spare part for his ship.
26:55You can't give him that. That's a thruster control.
26:58Where'd you get it?
27:00No cause for alarm, my dear boy. I found it on the junk pile.
27:05Ah! Here we are.
27:09There.
27:12Yes.
27:13I don't see why you have to play cards with Mr. Nerim, Dr. Smith.
27:17Why don't you just give him?
27:18Mr. Nerim is a proud and conscientious man.
27:20His pride will not allow him to accept charity.
27:24That's right, son.
27:26Never accepted no charity in my whole life.
27:29I'd rather gamble with my life savings than do that.
27:33He means his cosmonium.
27:35What a brave man he is.
27:38And you'd take it.
27:39Only if I want it.
27:42As many as slip twixt the cup and the lip.
27:45Now, sir, shall we cut for deal?
27:55A ten of galaxies.
27:58And all I've got...
28:02...is a deuce of asteroids.
28:05Looks like you're starting out lucky, Zack boy.
28:09Galaxies? Asteroids?
28:11I don't believe I understand these cards.
28:14There's nothing to understand.
28:16Galaxies is the big ones.
28:19Then planets.
28:21Then satellites.
28:22All the way down to asteroids.
28:28Hey, Dr. Smith, I think we'd better get out of here.
28:31Nothing to worry about.
28:32Uh, just a little, uh, resettlement.
28:35That's all.
28:37Uh, loser deals, right, Zack boy?
28:39Uh, yes, of course.
28:50What you got, Zack boy?
28:53Well, well.
28:56Galaxies.
28:58A pair.
29:00I believe you said they were the highest.
29:03Mighty good.
29:05And always a winner.
29:08Except, uh, when somebody else has got a supernova.
29:16Supernova?
29:17You mean I lost?
29:18Well, you can't win them all, Zack.
29:21It's all right, Dr. Smith.
29:22You said you wanted to lose.
29:24Remember?
29:25Of course.
29:25How can I forget?
29:26Aren't you going to give me a chance for revenge?
29:28Well, I don't need nothing but this.
29:31Besides, I gotta get out of here.
29:33I ain't got no time.
29:34It looks like your friends was right about this planet, eh?
29:37Ain't gonna be nothing but cosmic dust.
29:39Pretty quick.
29:39What?
29:40It can't be.
29:40You told me.
29:41Well, I guess my calculations went to my cave wire.
29:44Now, look here.
29:45Mr. Merrick.
29:47Mr. Merrick.
29:48You come right back here.
29:49That's the way the planet crumbles.
29:52Look.
29:53What the matter?
29:58Oh, the pain.
30:00The pain.
30:01Never mind about that, Dr. Smith.
30:03Didn't you hear what he said?
30:04We've gotta get out of here.
30:05My dream shattered.
30:06The quintessence of a living force gone forever.
30:10Look!
30:11He left these two flasks.
30:13We'd better return them to it.
30:14No hurry, my boy.
30:16No hurry.
30:17Well, it wasn't a total loss after all, was it?
30:21I'm not sure what you mean by that, Dr. Smith.
30:24But if we don't get out of here, it's us who are going to be a total loss.
30:27Oh, no, no, we can't let that happen.
30:29Now that this priceless treasure has been bestowed upon me...
30:35We'll not just stand there. We must hurry.
30:43Dr. Smith!
30:50Oh!
31:08There.
31:10That's better.
31:11There he goes!
31:17And without his cosmonia...
31:19You don't sound too unhappy about that, Dr. Smith.
31:22Let's get back to the drill side.
31:25Will!
31:26Will!
31:27My monument!
31:29Oh!
31:30Oh!
31:32Oh, dear.
31:34It was so proud and imperishable.
31:38We'd better go, Dr. Smith.
31:39Will.
31:41Help me to set it right.
31:43What's the use? It can't last anyway.
31:45Despite your misgivings, my monument will endure forever.
31:49In one position or another.
31:54All right.
31:57Eat!
32:01Push!
32:06Why cosmonium?
32:09Will!
32:10Help me!
32:21Will, help you to scoop it up.
32:23Dr. Smith?
32:24We're leaving at 0600, and that's less than three hours from now.
32:28And we've still got to get the drilling equipment.
32:31Yes. Yes.
32:36And you...
32:38Come, Will.
32:48Come, Will.
33:10Come, Will.
33:13Come, Will.
33:18Come, Will.
33:29Major West himself said he was perfectly willing to forget all of this drilling equipment.
33:33Dad said we may need it on Alpha Centauri.
33:36Then why did we have to leave the chariot so far away?
33:38Dad said we had to conserve fuel.
33:41Oh, the pain, the pain.
33:44Alpha Centauri, of all places.
33:46When Earth is so close, he'll never make it.
33:48I really must have a very serious talk with him.
33:51He won't listen to you.
33:52Why not?
33:53You've made too many mistakes lately.
33:55First you said the blasting was harmless, and then you said the planet would never break up.
33:59Indeed.
34:00Must a man be haunted by a few trivial errors in his past.
34:17It's alive!
34:18It's alive!
34:20It's alive!
34:21They get born to something.
34:23Give him the jewel chest!
34:35Let's get back to the chariot!
34:47Keep trying to raise them by radio.
34:49I'll do the same.
34:50Roger.
34:50I'll keep in touch with you as well.
34:55All right, stand clear.
34:57Roger.
34:59John, you've got to find them.
35:01Even if it means...
35:02Yes, even if it means delaying our liftoff.
35:05Don't worry.
35:06All right.
35:29Well, I'm over the weather station area.
35:32Come in if you see me.
35:35Well, report your position.
35:47Help!
35:48Help!
35:49Help!
35:50Help!
35:51Help!
35:52Help!
35:52Help!
35:53Help me up!
35:53Help me up!
35:54I think he wants your cosmonium.
35:55My cosmonium?
35:56Never!
35:57Never!
36:07seisoo!
36:17weddings!ulous!
36:18The men
36:18Officer, turn
36:18around in! Go! At
36:23yeah! The men should
36:24open. Whoa! You
36:27dwind
36:28Come on!
36:39He's been so happy to give it to him now.
36:42Give him your pocket knife. Maybe that will satisfy him.
36:44Not just that he doesn't want my pocket knife. He won't. I can't fool him.
36:48That one must have brought him to life.
36:59Help!
37:00Help!
37:06There's nothing at all for him.
37:18Please! Please, go away!
37:36Help me!
37:44Help me!
37:45Oh! Oh!
37:47Thank you, Professor. Thank you.
37:49Will, I should never have listened to you and given him my cosmonium.
37:52I'm sure I could have persuaded him to leave without it in another moment or two.
37:55Give me a hand.
37:57Dr. Smith, in another moment or two, you wouldn't have been around to do anything.
38:01Any of us, if we don't get back to that chip in a hurry. Let's go!
38:07Are we ready?
38:09Ready as well, I think.
38:10All right.
38:13Liftoff's in five minutes.
38:23I wasn't entirely sure until now. I don't need any more proof after this.
38:29I'll make one last check below.
38:52I'll make one last check below.
38:57Get in that chair.
38:57Cheers.
39:00Oh.
39:02I don't suppose there's anything more I could say that would make you change your mind about our destination.
39:05Oh, we're not gonna go through all that again now, are we, Doctor?
39:08You realize, of course, that no human eye has ever seen Alpha Centauri.
39:12All buckled up?
39:13We can't even be sure that it's habitable.
39:15I'm well aware of that, Doctor.
39:17In that case, I strongly urge that we change our course for a place that we know really exists.
39:21Get in that chair, Smith, and buckle your seatbelt.
39:24All secure?
39:25Robot in magnetic lock.
39:27I will maintain myself in magnetic lock until further orders.
39:32Ah, that's a thrilling bit of news, you bumbling birdbrain.
39:39Well, the children are all ready.
39:40Fine.
39:41Now, we'll go into orbit at minimum apogee.
39:43And remain in orbit around this planet until...
39:46Well, until there is no planet.
39:48After that, we'll be free of gravitational pull and on our way.
39:51Couch belts will remain fast until I give the order that they be removed.
39:54Understood?
39:56Yes.
40:01We may not be able to communicate with each other for a little while, Penny,
40:04so is there anything you'd like to ask me?
40:06Is Debbie gonna be all right?
40:09Oh, she'll be just fine.
40:11Dan, are you sure you're not gonna need me to help out on top?
40:14Well, it's gonna be a tough job, but...
40:17Don and I will do the best we can.
40:19And don't worry about Dr. Smith.
40:20I'll take care of him.
40:22What a comfort you are in my hour of need.
40:31Judy, you look simply beautiful.
40:34Thank you, Dad.
40:36I...
40:36What?
40:42What's that for?
40:44Well...
40:45Because I'm so proud of you.
40:47And because you've taken such good care of us.
40:51And because I love you.
40:58Oh, yes. There's something I forgot to tell you.
41:02You've been the most uncomplaining patient partner a man could wish for when we've been here.
41:07Thank you, darling.
41:09Well, there's been a very good reason for it.
41:12You.
41:15You just have time to strap up.
41:17All right.
41:29Five seconds.
41:31Three.
41:32Two.
41:34One.
41:35Zero.
41:58Two.
41:58I suppose at any moment now, the planet will disintegrate into cosmic dust.
42:02If the professor's predictions are accurate...
42:06Disintegrate indeed.
42:08Ah!
42:11Three-second burst on five.
42:13Roger.
42:15No power.
42:17It's starting to roll.
42:18We can't pull free of the planet's gravity.
42:37We're getting the heat feedback.
42:38The frusters can't be pulled.
42:39Try a five-second burst on the main bank again.
42:42Roger. Here goes.
42:46There wasn't control.
42:55John?
42:57John, what's happening to us?
42:59We can't pull free.
43:00They were short on our thruster control.
43:02Hang on. We'll fix it.
43:05I sure wish we had that old thruster control now.
43:09What do you mean?
43:10There was one on the junk pile.
43:12Dr. Smith gave it to that old mining engineer.
43:14If only I hadn't done it.
43:16It's all up with us now because of me.
43:19I didn't find it on the junk pile.
43:22I found it on a central astrogator.
43:25Well, I think you'd better get right up there and tell them what you did.
43:28I can't do it now. I'm strapped in.
43:30Well, then unstrap and get right up there.
43:32I can't resist.
43:34Will, I think you'd better go up with him.
43:36Yes, ma'am.
43:52You, uh, you will bear me out, won't you, Will, when I tell them that I meant no harm.
43:56It was just, uh, it was just a vagrant impulse.
44:01You'll have to explain that yourself.
44:03I don't know what a vagrant impulse means.
44:13What are you doing up here? You had strict orders.
44:16Dr. Smith has something to tell you, Don.
44:18What is it?
44:19Nothing at all.
44:20That is, if you're able to repair what appears to be wrong.
44:23So far, I know luck.
44:25You'd better tell him, Doctor.
44:27I only did it out of the goodness of my heart.
44:30Did what?
44:31Donated one of our thruster controls to Mr. Nehrim.
44:34The one that was there.
44:35Aye, aye, aye.
44:40Hold on! The planet's blowing!
44:44We're losing pressure!
44:47Ah!
45:10Try number five now!
45:14It's working!
45:24Maureen!
45:26Yes?
45:27You can relax now.
45:29I think we're finally on our way.
45:32Good.
45:38So, out of the goodness of your heart, you nearly signed all our death warrants.
45:42Except his own, naturally.
45:43He was quite sure that all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put the Jupiter back together
45:47again.
45:48Believe me, Major, I have the deepest admiration for your remarkable ingenuity.
45:52Nothing pleases me more than to be proved wrong.
45:54You sure know how to change your mind fast, Dr. Smith.
45:57Friends, circumstances demand it, my boy.
46:00Well, I take it that Dr. Smith explained what he did.
46:03Well, darling, Dr. Smith's explanations are like a box of magic tricks.
46:09Mom! Dad! Come here! Quick!
46:12Look at the logo flare.
46:15Oh, look.
46:16It's like a rainbow after a storm.
46:18After the storm, Sweetman, sir, I think we're entitled to it.
46:20Oh!
46:24I think I see a familiar planet out there.
46:27That's not a planet, Dr. Smith. That's a red dwarf star.
46:30For a moment, I thought it might be...
46:31Forget about it, Smith.
46:32Whatever you thought it might be, we happen to be pulling away from it at about 50%.
46:36Light velocity.
46:37Light velocity.
46:39Light velocity.
46:40Oh, dear.
46:41I can feel my motion sickness coming back.
46:44Oh, the pain.
46:46The pain.
46:59We must be nearly a million miles out in space, Dad.
47:03Closer to two million, son.
47:04Wow, we must be traveling at closest speed of light.
47:07Just about will.
47:09What a pity we have no idea where we're traveling to.
47:12We'll know once we spot a familiar star and get a fix on it.
47:15Trouble is, there are billions of stars out there and they all look familiar.
47:19He's right. I can't tell one from the other.
47:21Of course not, silly. You don't know anything about astronomy.
47:24But Dad does and so does Don.
47:26That is devoutly to be wished.
47:28Howsoever I think I shall do a little stargazing on my own.
47:32You mean you're going to take another nap?
47:35Spare me the barbs, Major.
47:36Just remember they laughed at Copernicus, too.
47:38You, sir, come with me.
47:40And you?
47:41Then come with me, my dear.
47:42I want to stay here with Dad and Don.
47:44They may need my help.
47:45Not as much as I do.
47:47Holy cow!
47:48Now, let's see.
47:49Earth should be back here.
47:53John, maneuver around it!
47:58We can't get around it. We've had it!
48:05We're going to crash!
48:22We will go to Big Cater.
48:31Now!
48:31Have we.
48:32We're going to crash!
48:33No!
48:37I'm not gonna crash!
48:39He's gonna crash!
48:39It's fine!
48:39Good day!
48:39You're gonna crash!
48:42I'm not gonna crash!
48:44Come on!
48:45Come on!
