"Meet George Jetson" "His boy, Elroy" "Daughter, Judy" "Jane, his wife" "Oh, dear." "The Iaundrojet is so noisy." "I'm sure something's wrong with it." "well, seems to be working okay now." "By the way, Judy, how was the school dance last night?" "awful, Mother." "I had to dance almost every number with my own date." "But I thought you liked stanley." "He's a big basketball hero, isn't he?" ""Big" is right." "I've got a stiff neck from looking up at him." "well, you shouldn't tie yourself down to one boy, anyway." "Oh, I'm not, Mother." "stanley's only a passing fiance." "I'm not really gonna get serious until I'm ready to settle down." "You know, say, at 1 6 or 1 7?" "AII right." "There's a button missing." "Button?" "I didn't see any buttons." "Never mind." "It was on there when I handed you the shirt." "You pulled it off." "You sew it back on." "Button." "Button." "How I hate to sew on buttons." "That's better." "Oh, that must be EIroy back from his Space Cub Scout meeting." "Judy, will you finish for me, dear?" "But Mother, you know I hate to do laundry." "Have a nice Space Cub Scout meeting today, son?" "What made it "eh"?" "We had another substitute cubmaster." "And he didn't know anything at all." "Hey, Mom, can you tie a clove hitch?" "Or a "turkey net"?" "What's a turkey net?" "well, that's what you tie around a first-aid victim's neck." "If he's got a bloody nose or something." "A turkey net." "Oh, you mean a tourniquet." "That's what I said." "Oh." "No, EIroy, I can't tie those knots." "But why don't you ask Daddy?" "He was a Scout when he was a little boy." "He was?" "Gosh, that must have been a Iong time ago." "Can I call Daddy and have him help me with my knots?" "well, Daddy doesn't like being disturbed when he's working hard at the office." "But we'II take a chance." "He may not be too busy." "Let me see." "Okay, R.U.D.I. boy." "I knock with six." "No good." "I've got three." "Oh, no." "Not again." "George." "Oh, hi, Jane." "Honey, you know I don't like calls during work." "Oh, but it's an emergency, dear." "Do you know how to tie a clove hitch or a turkey net" " I mean, a tourniquet?" "Elroy needs these knots to pass his test." "clove hitch turkey net?" "What kind of homework are they handing out?" "It's his Space Cub test." "I told Elroy you could help him." "I'm at the end of my rope." "Very funny." "But I can't help him." "I was a Scout" "I know, Pop." "A long time ago." "No, it's not that, Elroy." "A good Scout is self-sufficient." "What does your scoutmaster say about outside help?" "In the Space Cubs, it isn't a scoutmaster, Pop." "It's a Big Buddy." "See, Mr. Bunsen was our last Big Buddy, but he retired suddenly." "Why was that?" "The men who took Mr. Bunsen away said he was having a nervous breakup." "Oh, George." "Isn't that a shame?" "Now, now, now." "Forget it, Jane." "I am not about to be a Big Buddy to a mob of strange kids." "But, George, they're EIroy's friends." "Jane, honey." "In five minutes, I have an appointment with Mr. Spacely to ask about getting a two-week vacation." "And if I get it, I don't want to be tied down with extra kids." "AII right, George." "If that's the kind of father you want to be to your son don't be surprised if he becomes D-E-L-I-N-Q-U-E-N-T." "Yeah, delinquent." "You want me to Iearn about tying knots from kids in the street?" "Now, EIroy, that is not what I said." "If I were you, George I'd ask Mr. Spacely for a three-week vacation." "You need it." "AII right, Jetson, don't blow your stack." "You gotta be calm when you talk to the boss about that vacation." "Facts and figures, that's what Mr. SpaceIy understands." "I'II prove statistically how overworked I am." "And his own computer will supply the figures to prove it." "Ready, R.U.D.I.?" "R.U.D.I. 's ready." "AII right." "What are my chances of getting a two-week vacation this year?" ""Your weight is 1 68 pounds." I don't get it." "What's my weight got to do with a vacation?" "Fat chance." "What do you know, you big junk pile?" "Jetson!" "What are you doing to my delicate $500,000 referential universal digital Indexer?" "Good SpaceIy, Mr. Afternoon." "I mean, good afternoon, Mr. SpaceIy." "I didn't hear you sneak in, sir." "What are you doing to R.U.D.I.?" "I was adjusting it, sir." "I think it has a screw loose somewhere." "well, takes one to know one, Jetson." "Is this why I pay you?" "To kick my brain around behind my back?" "Oh, no, sir, I onIy" "I have had my eye on you for some time now, Jetson." "I think you need a vacation." "Oh, no, sir" "Oh, yes, sir." "Yes, sir." "Yes, sir!" "How would you Iike to take a little trip?" "Get away from it all, say, this weekend?" "Oh, gosh, Mr. SpaceIy." "Are you sure you can spare me?" "Positive." "I'II pay all expenses." "Oh, that's great." "could I take the family?" "well, the place I have in mind is a little primitive for family living." "But I'm sure your son would enjoy roughing it." "After all, he's a Space Cub." "Yeah, but how did you know that?" "Oh, I forgot." "Your son's a Space Cub too." "In the same troop." "Right." "Troop 54." "That's why I want you to take this weekend vacation trip." "You mean, me and my little boy?" "You and your little boy and my little boy, and the rest of Troop 54." "Oh, but, sir, I'm really not up to it." "Jetson, after seeing the kind of work you're up to indoors, I figure you must be an outdoor man." "The type who should take the boys on an overnight camping trip this weekend." "But Mr. SpaceIy, sir, I'm not prepared." "A Space Cub is always prepared, Jetson." "I no more considered taking an overnight hike than I thought of going to the moon." "Funny you should mention the moon, Big Buddy because that's exactly where you're taking Troop 54." "To the moon!" "Grand central Spacion." "I haven't been here in years." "Why do hikes always have to start so early in the morning?" "And where are the other Cubs?" "The troop's supposed to form at 6 sharp." "Oh, they'II be here, Pop." "See?" "Here they come." "Troop 54 wouldn't let us down." "Over here, men." "Over here." "We are strong, we are brave" "In 1 0 years, we'll even shave" "We're the Space Cubs of Troop 54" "Through the storm and the sleet" "Dragging grandmas through the street" "We're the Space Cubs of Troop 54" "If your bones get bent In an accident" "We know the proper knot to tie" "Get a stretcher!" "We can cook, we can bake" "But we get a bellyache" "We're the Space Cubs of Troop 54" "Let's hear it, men!" "We're the Space Cubs of Troop 54" "That was fine, boys." "Once again, men!" "Now, hold it, hold it!" "Aren't they great, Dad?" "well, EIroy." "How do you turn them off?" "You gotta give the proper command, Pop." "Space Cubs, atten-hut!" "Thanks, EIroy." "Space Cubs, atten-hut!" "But we get a bellyache" "We're the Space Cubs of Troop 54" "Overnight hike!" "Make little Orbit take his vitamins no matter how much he fights." "And be sure Werner wears his fiIter-top." "He's allergic to moon dust." "I promised little Anode he could sit by a window." "He gets spacesick." "And keep a close watch on Arthur." "He's always getting lost." "Mothers, atten-hut!" "About face!" "On the double!" "Get lost!" "Shuttle to moon now loading." "Passengers, please go aboard." "well, Iet's go, men." "Hey, Pop, how far is it to the moon?" "There's a sign showing the distance, EIroy." "Oh, yeah." ""Moon: 238,000 miles."" "Gosh, Pop." "That's not very far." "That's right." "We'II be there in no time." "AII right, men." "Fasten your couch belts." "We'II be taking off in a minute." "Hello there." "Who's that?" "This is your stewardess, Lana Luna welcoming you to Galaxy Space Lines flight 22." "We're going to the moon together." "Won't that be funsies?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "We'll be flying at Mach 34." "Thirty-four times the speed of sound." "If you have any questions, ask them now." "But you won't hear the answers until we get back again." "Oh, boy, I'II have to meet her." "If weightlessness makes you nervous just ask for our special lead pills." "They hold you in your seat." "Now, settle back, relax, cross your fingers." "And when we're safely out of the Earth's atmosphere you are welcome to come to the lounge and rub elbows with the crew." "Crazy, crazy." "I'm looking forward to it." "This is your stewardess, lovely Lana Luna, bidding you:" "aloha, auf Wiedersehen, arrivederci, and hasta Ia vista." "This has been a transcribed announcement." "Oh, boy." "WouIdn't you know it?" "Moon Shuttle now launching from Pad 1 2." "All systems go." "Stand clear." "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six five, and so forth." "Take a deep breath, men." "We'II soon hit maximum G's." "See?" "Isn't this great, boys?" "Okay, Cubs." "Prepare for weightlessness." "Hey, Pop, look at the Earth!" "It's very nice, EIroy." "But you shouldn't leave your seat." "Look at all those signs, Pop!" ""Danger," "Meteor Crossing," "Caution," "Bumpy clouds Ahead."" "Yeah." "Here come some more." ""Stay In Your Orbit," "school Crossing"  "slow To 30,000 miles." Hey, look at that, Pop!" "Yeah. "Spaceway's Cafe." "Free parking." Must be a good place to eat." "AII the space truck drivers stop there." "Attention, passengers." "This is your stewardess, Lana Luna." "We will be landing on the moon shortly." "The daytime temperature is 240 degrees." "However, at night it cools off to 2 1 5 degrees." "Below zero, that is." "Galaxy Space Lines hopes you had an enjoyable trip and looks forward to serving you again." "This has been a transcribed announcement." "I know." "I know." "There's the moon!" "Fasten your couch belts." "We are about to land." "Hang on, men." "These moon landings can be pretty rough." "Hey, that was a pretty smooth touchdown." "Okay, Cubs, this is it." "Put on your oxygen helmets and stay inside until I Iook around." "It's pretty wild out there." ""Moon Port." "Moonhattan TiIton hotel."" ""HaIf-acre moon craters out of the smog zone."" "Hey, gosh." "Hey, look at that." ""Short of breath?" "Try Orbit Oxygen."" "Taxi?" "Taxi, mister?" "Downtown Moonhattan, mister?" "No, thanks." "We're looking for the campground, Lunar Park." "Oh, sure." "Over that way, about 1 0 miles." "The other side of Copernicus Crater." "Yeah, pile in." "I'II take you there." "We're Space Cubs." "We'II hike it." "elroy, are you getting too much oxygen?" "He said 1 0 miles, and we've got our packs." "So we'II just take big steps." "Watch." "Geronimo!" "Gravity on the moon is only one-sixth that of Earth." "Come on, Pop." "AII right, all right." "We'II walk." "To keep from getting lost, use the buddy system." "Everyone pick a buddy and stay with him." "Anode, you go with EIroy." "Orbit, you go with Werner, And Arthur...." "Who's that leave for your buddy, Arthur?" "You, I guess." "That's right, Arthur." "I promised your dad Mr. SpaceIy, that is, that I'd look after you personally." "Big deal." "Come on, Iet's go." "Up-two-three-four, two-three-four." "Up-two-three-four, two-three-four." "Up-two-three-four, two-three-four...." "well, our camp is in pretty good shape, men." "What should we name it?" "How about calling it "Camp EIroy"?" "Camp EIroy, no, no." "What do you think we should call it, Anode?" "I think we should call it Camp" "That's Indian." "What's it mean?" "Beats me." "I can't talk Indian." "well, Anode, that name is a little bit long." "Arthur, what would you Iike to call it?" "I'd Iike to call it quits." "How do I get my walking papers out of this chicken feed outfit, anyway?" "Did you hear that?" "Arthur suggests we go on a hike and do some bird-watching." "AII right." "fall in, men." "And a hup-two-three-four." "Hup-two-three-four." "Hup-two-three-four." "Hey, here comes another group of campers, men." "Hey, what troop is that, Pop?" "It says "Troop ZIgph, Martian and Chowder club."" "Boy, did you get a look at those guys?" "Yeah, talk about freaks." "How would you Iike to go through life with only one head?" "Not me, boy!" "Don't get too close to the edge of this crater." "Look out, Orbit." "That rock you're standing on is loose, Orbit." "Orbit!" "Oh, no." "Now, why didn't Orbit pay attention?" "Because that was Anode." "Sorry, Anode!" "He's not hurt." "Here he comes." "He's bouncing back up." "well, here we are, men." "Yeah, Big Buddy, but where are we?" "well, according to the map, we're right about here." "On the rim of that crater." "That's not a crater, Mr. Jetson!" "That's your thumbprint!" "well, it's no problem, men." "We all know the direction back to camp, don't we?" "Yes, Big Buddy!" "Good." "Then let's go." "Someone had their directions mixed up." "Okay, now let's go in the right direction." "It looks like you men are lost, but don't panic." "I'II check with the Space Cub manual." "Now, Iet's see." ""Moss is found on the north side of trees." "Running streams lead to civilization." "And a good Scout always has his trusty compass."" "I have a trusty compass, Pop." "Thanks, EIroy." "The needle should point to the north." "Hey!" "The needle's pointing straight up!" "That's where the North pole is." "Back on Earth." "AII right, men." "Now, keep calm." "This is no time to panic." "We're still together." "Everyone raise his buddy's hand." "Arthur, count those hands for me." "Arthur?" "Arthur?" "Arthur's gone." "AII right, who's the careless cIod who was Arthur's buddy?" "You were, Big Buddy!" "I was?" "I was?" "AII right, men." "Men, now is the time to panic." "My boss' son is lost!" "I saw Arthur heading for the dark side of the moon." "Yeah." "I just hope my pop doesn't get lost." "Arthur!" "Where are you?" "Now, where is that stupid kid?" "Somebody call me?" "Arthur!" "Now, don't panic, Arthur." "I'm here to rescue you." "What rescue?" "I came to the dark side to change the film in my camera." "I Ieft the rest of the troop on top of this crater, but they're gone." "They left a note. "Dear Big Buddy--"" "Here, I'II take that." ""Decided not to wait for you to save us, so returned to camp ourselves." "Signed, Orbit, Anode, EIroy and Werner." Now what?" "At least they could have left the map." "Here's another note." ""P.S. Don't worry about the map." "We took it with us."" ""We're tearing it in little pieces and leaving a trail..." "...for you to follow back to camp."" "Look." "Here's a piece, and there's another one." "And another." "And another." "And another." "And another." "Hey, what do you think you're doing there?" "That's my job, keeping the moon neat." "Tourists!" "Boy, are we glad to see you." "Can you tell us the way to Copernicus Crater?" "Nope." "It's just the other side..." "...of the Carpathian Mountains." "Carpathian Mountains?" "The biggest mountain range on the moon." "You must have heard of it." "Nope." "Can you tell us the way..." "...to the nearest Moon Ranger's station?" "Nope." "You come from around here?" "Lived here most of my Iife." "And you don't know where anything is?" "You sure are dumb." "Yep." "May be dumb, but I ain't lost." "That's a pretty old joke." "Being lost is no joke, and I'm cold." "No problem, Arthur." "We'II collect some wood and start a fire." "Up here?" "On the moon?" "That's the trouble with your generation." "You don't use your heads." "There's plenty of wood on the moon like these signs. "No Loitering."" ""No ball playing."" ""No Picnicking."" ""No Campfires."" "Now, here's the wood, and I'II start a fire." "But, Big Buddy" " Mr. Jetson." "Now, don't worry, Arthur." "I'm an old Scout from way back." "They sure don't make sticks like they did when I was a kid." "I've been trying to tell you, you can't have fire without oxygen." "And there's no oxygen on the moon." "AII right." "Then what'II we do?" "Arthur, what are you doing?" "Where did you get that signal gun?" "A Space Cub is always prepared." ""HepI"?" "Uh-oh." "spelled it wrong." "You realize, Mrs. Jetson, that if George and my little Arthur are never found your husband can look for employment elsewhere." "And I was the one who made George take the trip." "He even gets lost in the supermarket." "Many's the time I told little Arthur to get lost." "I never really meant it." "Cosmo Q. Spacely and Mrs. George Jetson, Moon Ranger station calling." "Yes?" "Yes?" "Yes?" "Yes?" "We found both Space Cubs, Arthur and George." "Good work, ranger!" "How did you do it?" "We spotted the little fella's smoke signal." "And where is my husband?" "He's at the station, ma'am, paying some fines." "Fines?" "For littering, destroying park property and getting lost without a license." "Moon flight unloading at Pad 9." "Orbit, you forgot to take your vitamins." "Werner, didn't I tell you to wear your moon dust filter?" "Arthur, my boy, you're looking fine." "Gosh, Dad, you'd been proud of me." "The Moon Rangers gave me this medal for saving Mr. Jetson." "And what's that other badge?" "Oh, that's the First Aid Merit Badge for soothing Mr. Jetson's hysterics." "Poor George." "You look miserable." "Oh, that little Arthur SpaceIy made me look like a big dope." "When he finishes telling the boss how I goofed, I'II probably lose my job." "Jetson, I'd Iike a word with you." "Here it comes." "Arthur just told me everything you did." "And I just want to say, put it there!" "I appreciate it." "But I don't understand." "Arthur said if it hadn't been for him, you never would have made it back." "well, sir, I see through your little scheme." "You do?" "Of course." "You planned it to build up Arthur's confidence." "well, it worked." "Tomorrow, I'II talk to you about that early vacation you wanted." "For the whole family." "But I don't get it." "Of course you do." "Jane, how do you Iike that, honey?" "Love it!" "We're already packed for the vacation." "already packed?" "The wife of a Space Cub is always prepared." "Oh, Jane, you're a" "You're a good Scout." "help!" "help!" "Jane, stop this crazy thing!" "Jane!" "help!" "Jane!" "(ENGLISH)"
