"( "Tank" by The Seatbelts )" "I think it's time to blow this thing." "Get everybody and their stuff together." "Okay, 3..2..1.." "Let's JAM!"

"The dragon temple." "Ryuuguujou?" "That's right." "It was like a palace." "And they gave him a big welcoming party." "Beautiful women, scrumptious feasts." "Breams and halibut swimming around he spent his time there as if in a dream." "I haven't eaten bream or halibut in a long while..." "Days passed and before he knew it, the time came to go back and as a keepsake, he was given the Tamatebako." "Tamatebako?" "ls that scrumptious too?" "No, it's not food." "It's a big chest with a treasure inside." "I haven't seen any treasure in long time either." "You two are so clueless it's pitiful." "This is an ancient fantasy, it's a folk tale!" "Tamatebako's a turtle?" "Where did you get that idea...?" "Huh?" "Aaaah!" "I should give up the ponies." "Huh?" "Well..." "Huh?" "Pay up." "6,300 woolongs." "What, where did that come from?" "Special delivery for you." "Well, I didn't order anything." "It was C.O.D." "To top it off, there's no return address on it." "I had no choice but to accept it and pay your tab..." "Hmm...?" "H-Hey!" "Hold on!" "HEY!" "I want my money, or else!" "She's a busy girl, huh?" "A collection from the life extension agency?" "Or else..." "No, could it be..." "Oooh..." "There are just too many people that want a piece of me!" "Time for Faye's famous disappearing act!" "Don't you think it's odd?" "For a woman who always wants other people's stuff here she gets something for free and she won't even touch it?" "Yeah, but she's made a lot of enemies, think about that." "Well, I better run some test on it." "An explosives test, and a biochemical examination." "Nah!" "I'll just return it to the freight company and tell them I want my money back." "I'll say it was a mistake." "Whoa... h-hold it..." "Spike... no...!" "Spike!" "Hmm?" "What the hell is it?" "It's not ticking like it's about to blow?" "Un-ah." "Ed:" "Ed's got data!" " Hmm?" "Data on the freight routing, see?" "The sender is a  A non profit convent on Europa?" "!" "There's more, look..." "Pluto Penitentiary?" "Asteroid B Actors' Studio?" "Uranus Observatory #9?" "Venus Action News Network?" "Forwarded, and forwarded, again." "This thing's been passed around the entire solar system..." "Ed:" "Read this!" ""Due to the explosion of the Lunar Gate, all data encoded before 2022 is missing."" "So it's an antique then." "Jet:" "Apparently it's something called a "videotape"." "An artifact from days gone by." "Spike:" "Hmm!" "Jet:" "She's ran off without a word." "So she's got no complain if we sell the thing." "Spike:" "You think it will sell?" "Jet:" "This guy is crazy for anything from the 20th century." "He'd buy it." "Spike:" "I can't believe it's worth anything." "Jet:" "The real value of a treasure like this can't be determined by looking at it." "You'd be surprised at how much you can sell this stuff for sometimes!" "Anyway, if it covers the C.O.D. charges, I'll be happy." "Excuse me!" "QUIET!" "Hmm?" "TV:" "But it is so different here than where we grew up." "Nothing is like it was in Minnesota." "I'm so worried." "Do you think we'll be able to fit in here, and live like everybody else?" "Uh..." "To be honest sis, I was worried about it too." "But now, I'm sure we're fine." "Ah?" "Because I'm here with my own twin sister." "I'm glad, twin brother." "Well, I've got to start work bright, and early tomorrow!" "Goodnight, Brandon." "Goodnight!" "OH GOD, that was good!" "20th century TV was the best!" "On the other hand..." "Our drama's are so boring it's pitiful." "I have something to show you, you're gonna like..." "HEY!" "Y-you can't do that!" "Cigarette, man!" "Don't you realize that cigarette smoke can screw up electrical stuff?" "Sheesh, this is why I hate people who don't know anything." "AAAAHHHHHH!" "Idiot, idiot, what are you thinking?" "What the hell do you guys want here!" "?" "What do you have against me?" "!" "We've got nothing against you, pal." "We've just got something you might want to buy." "Ah!" "Is that a Beta cassette!" "?" "Wow!" "What an amazing find!" "Where did you guys get a hold of this thing?" "It's a miracle that it's all in one piece!" "A miracle!" "Beta?" "Never heard of it?" "I'll explain for your benefit." "Well. back in the 20th century, they didn't record movies on disks." "It was primitive." "They used these things called videotapes, which are in cassettes like this." "They're not digital, mind you!" "They're completely analog!" "And they're also magnetic..." "Magnetic, wow!" "It's all because they used electromagnetic signals to record!" "Isn't that wild?" "I mean, talk about primordial technology!" "But the guys who came up with this stuff created two standards Beta and VHS." "The Beta cassettes were small for their time... and the decks didn't take much space." "Still frame and slow mo was almost noise free!" "Since Beta had high quality images smart users supported it heavily." "But, that's just the beginning of the history of the tragic Beta." "No need to tell it all." "Huh?" "Oh man, I was really on a roll!" "Look, buddy are ya gonna buy it, or what?" "There, we've got to see what's in it, you know..." "Huh?" "Mmmm..." "Oh..." "So, what's wrong?" "It's hard to adjust the tracking on these early Beta's..." "This way, or this way?" "There we go." "Huh?" "The tape is messed up!" "Aaahhh!" "That isn't helping, Spike." "It's not?" "Huh." "Come on... you can do it boy..." "RUN!" "Dogs are better than ponies!" "My ship works better when I kick it..." "Ughhh..." "Right." "You just don't know when to quit." "Brute force doesn't solve everything" "(Communicator beeping) Hmm?" "You owe me for a new deck, dammit!" "You back again..." "You are refusing to take responsibility for breaking my gear!" "And how about you're responsibility for ruining my videotape?" "Early Beta decks eat tapes all the time!" "Anyway, you're gonna have to pay for the cost of the repair!" "We'll call it even for my tape!" "NO WAY!" "?" "I " "Guy's crazy!" "Ed:" "Ed to Beta deck, come in please!" "There's only one of them around." "Where are you hiding, Beta?" "The Underground City Museum, it's there in old Asia." "Jet:" "I'm going to find out what's on that tape if it kills me!" "Spike:" "It just might." "Do you really think it's worth it?" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "..." "YES!" "I did it!" "I wonder if all this time, if those guys were just sucking up my luck." "Yes?" "Hello!" "Anybody?" "Hey, it's me!" "Helllllloooooo..." "Oh... it's..." "Faye..." "What's up?" "Hello, Ed." "What's going on?" "Where are you guys, anyway?" "We're on Earth..." "Huh!" "We're on Earth!" "Earth?" "What, you just took off for Earth, and left me behind?" "Ed:" "Spike... and Jet... are trying..." "to find a..." "Beta deck!" "Hmm..." "All right, just a little farther." "Think we're really gonna find one in a place like this?" "We'll never know unless we check it out, right?" "Twenty-eight floors down." "It's not working?" "No wonder it's stuck, the cable broke." "Tell me again, why in the world we going through all of this?" "It's a lesson to remind you that treasure hunts are always trouble." "Treasure hunts?" "What treasure are we hunting?" "Tamatebako, was it?" "When he opens the Tamatebako." "He turns into an old man." "Now I know why." "Even if we turn back now, we're wouldn't be any younger." "This place is some Ryuuguujou..." "Where did that minx run off to anyway?" "!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Oh, well, nothing I could've done." "Races are all luck anyway." "So, is it here?" "It's here." "All right." "This is it?" "Yeah, that's gotta be it." "And?" "Which one do we take back?" "Let's see..." "Well, they say "the greater serves for the lesser"." "Jet:" "Hmm..." "Spike:" "What's wrong?" "Jet:" "The size..." "Spike:" "What about it?" "Jet:" "It won't go in." "Spike:" "Push harder." "Jet:" "But it..." "Ah!" "That's the wrong one!" "Huh?" "You've got a VHS!" "Huh?" "It won't play Beta!" "Huh?" "Faye:" "Oh, hello, it's me." "Ed:" "Ein, who are you talking to?" "Oh, it's Faye!" "Well I'm glad I've reached a live one that's capable of speech." "What do you want?" "Did any visitors show up looking for me?" "Visitors?" "Hmm..." "I mean like scary guys who scream stuff like "Gimme back my money!" or "You're under arrest!"?" "Mmm, there was one." "Huh?" "What he say?" "Something like "pay me back, get even..." ""tape, munch, munch, grind, grind, bye-bye"!" "Huh?" "Oh, right..." "Oh, well." "Where's Spike and Jet?" "Disappointed and zoned!" "Hmm?" "Oh, I see..." "Hmm..." "That's how it is..." "Oh, well." "Listen Ed, if they're that lonely without me, I have no choice." "I'm coming back to the ship." "What!" "?" "Another package for that wrench!" "?" "I won't accept it!" "Take it back!" "Dammit, why should I have to pay the shipping for HER!" "?" "And not once, but TWICE!" "This sure is a lot of packaging." "Beta!" "Spike:" "We can see the tape with this?" "Ed:" "Um hmm." "Hey, how's it going guys, long time no see." "It's..." "showtime!" "Hold on." "If you're wanna watch you have to pay the C.O.D. charges." "31,500 woolongs." "Alright then, I won't see it." "Jet:" "We've got picture!" "Ed:" "Ooooh..." "what's that?" "Jet:" "Sssshhh, watch and see." "Well, ahh..." "We're here because we all decided to send ourselves a message ten years in the future." "Come on you guys, don't laugh!" "Well..." "This is making me really shy!" "Eh?" "Something I want to say?" "Good morning..." "Go away!" "Good morning, me." "Did you sleep well?" "Did you wake up feeling good?" "Did the light and the wind, the smell and the sounds, all feel brand new?" "Is each and every cell in your whole body awake and alive now?" "Today, you are who you are today." "See?" "You're still me, but a newer version." "Myself ten years from now." "It's so far away it's almost impossible to imagine." "Am I alone?" "Or is there a wonderful person next to me?" "Well, knowing me, I'm sure you're causing... all kinds of trouble for lots of different people." "I'm sorry, I don't mean too." "But it's alright." "That's part of life too, isn't it?" "You're not perfect, but you've got a lot to give, so remember..." "I'll always be cheering you on." "And now, a big cheer from my heart!" "LET'S...!" "GO..." "BE" " ALL" " RIGHT!" "DO YOU'RE BEST!" "DO YOU'RE BEST!" "DON'T LOSE ME!" "LET'S GO!" "DON'T LOSE!" "DON'T LOSE ME!" "DO YOUR BEST!" "DO YOUR BEST!" "(Thinking):" "I can't remember..." "DON'T YOU LOSE!" "DON'T YOU LOSE!" "ME!" "ME!" "ME!" "GO ME!" "YEAH!" "Ha, ha, ha!" "In your time, I'm no longer here." "But I'm here today and I'll always be cheering for you, right here." "Cheering for you." "My only self!"
