"... who risk life and limb to explore the stars and secure peace and freedom the world over." "We are a nation with a tradition of heroism." "These men..." "Anybody know where the head is?" "...many of whom are here tonight. .." "...fill that need." "Through their strength of character, their fortitude they have proven themselves to be worthy of the appellation;" "Hero." "Tonight, we are paying tribute to a breed of men" "Where's a guy supposed to take a leak around here?" "Well, damn, we're balls to the wall with all-American hero types tonight!" "I see space walkers and moonwalkers and Earth-orbiters galore." "And over here, we have the current cream of the crop." "America's best and brightest." "That's a good one, eh, boys?" "The most excitement I ever had was the time I landed a F-14 with a stubborn nose gear on a rolling flat top with zero visibility." "But you boys, you get to test out these babies." "I envy you." "Gentlemen, I salute you." "Shit, I spilled my drink." "Get him." "Hey, hey." "Easy, cosmos." "Battle conditions, eh, boys?" "Get yourself a new act." "You're a disgrace." "And give that crippled tomcat story a rest." "Oh, gosh, I'm sorry, Rusty." "Really, you're right." "But when my moment of truth came, I didn't take a dump down my leg." "You son of a--!" "Well, come on, boys!" "Isn't this what you wanted, a piece of Tuck Pendelton?" "Shouldn't the--?" "Shouldn't the project be declassified?" "You know I can't tell you that." "Could you just excuse me?" "I'm sorry." "All right, fellas, that's enough!" "That's enough!" "Hello, Pete." "Where's your uniform?" "Where yours should've been a long time ago, hanging in the closet." "Well, don't worry, Pete, the wait is almost over." "Take him home, Lydia." "Can you try and hit the couch?" "Okay?" "No, wait, wait." "This way." "All you had to do was ask, honey." "Charming." "You want a drink?" "What's all this?" "Something new l'm involved in." "Rabbits?" "Yeah, wabbits." "You resigned to study rabbits?" "Shit." "Now take it easy." "That's good advice." "Get some ice on that." "Where are you going?" "I'm leaving, Tuck." "You're in no shape to drive, Lydia." "That's really good." "You leave me no choice." "It's not fair." "What is?" "Don't do this." "Come on." "I said to the man on the phone, "Don't honk!" "I'll see him."" "All I got was an address." "If you'd seen me, you'd have been here." "What is going on here?" "Any bags?" "No!" "You know what's going on." "I read the note." "Clean break." "Leave everything." "I don't live here." "One-nighter?" "Will you shut up?" "Get back in your cab!" "I read the note." "It's your standard farewell address." "I know it by heart." "Excuse me." "Lydia." "Look, don't leave." "You know you love me." "Look, I know you're crazy about me." "In a week we'll be together again." "No, we won't." "I don't get it." "I get a little drunk, I make an ass out of myself...." "What's the big deal?" "Things are different now." "It hurts me too much to be with you." "Lydia." "I stubbed my toe when I kicked the door." "I think it's broken." "Better your toe than your heart." "Can we go?" "Lydia!" "Lydia!" "I sure hope you didn't leave your purse back there." "Okay, Jack." "Let's review." "Now we've got nausea, shortness of breath, dizziness and headaches." "Big, pounding headaches." "Big, pound" "What's going on?" "Where did you get that rash?" "Hair spray." "Hair spray?" "It also makes me sneeze." "What do you think?" "I think you're allergic to hair spray." "Isn't this great, Jack?" "I think we're making real progress here." "Okay." "Nightmares still keeping you awake?" "Now I have a new one." "Put your head back." "Tell me about it." "I'm at the market." "I'm working one of the registers." "I suddenly notice that the next customer is an obnoxious woman with bright orange hair." "Anyway, I'm passing her stuff over the bar code scanner." "I don't notice, but the computer starts to ring up the wrong prices." "So when I'm all done, I look at the total and it's way up over" "And it's way up over $100,000." "That much?" "Yes." "So the woman with the" "Orange hair." "She says to me, real calm she says to me, "I don't carry that kind of cash, sweetie."" "Want to open wide, Jack?" "Yeah." "I say, "Oh, is that right?" And she says, "Will you take this instead?"" "She reaches into her purse and pulls out this pearl-handled pistol." "She pulls back on the trigger, and at that moment I wake up screaming." "Take it easy, Jack." "It's all right." "The nurse will get it." "Just sit down." "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to push you off the white sheets." "Here." "Please, sit down and relax." "Catch your breath." "Come on now." "Jack." "You know that I'm more than your doctor." "I'm your friend." "You're one of my favorite patients." "Let's face it." "Your visits are the cornerstone of my medical practice." "Medicine is not what you need, Jack." "What you need is rest and relaxation." "You need a total change of scene." "A nice vacation." "How does that sound?" "That sounds good." "Well then, take one." "And find a place that's peaceful and quiet." "The most important thing for you right now is no excitement." "Got it?" "I know it's hard to believe." "Hard?" "Try impossible." "That's why I want you there." "See for yourself." "If you're interested, it's yours." "First amaze me." "Then we talk funding." "Damn this traffic." "We're gonna be late." "Just out of curiosity, who's your guy?" "Your pilot?" "You might know him." "Tuck Pendelton." "Why did you choose Pendelton?" "He had the qualifications." "Such as?" "He was the only one crazy enough." "Let me tell you about Tuck Pendelton." "He could've been one of the best." "But he hates authority, can't take orders, and makes up his own rules." "Don't look so depressed." "Experiment's bound to fail before Pendelton screws it up." "How does that feel?" "It feels good." "Then do it again." "The Tuck Pendelton machine." "Zero defects." "You're not getting nervous, are you?" "Not yet." "Let's review this neuromuscular facial response experiment again." "Let's not." "All right?" "What do you mean, "Let's not"?" "Look, Ozzie, who's nervous now?" "I know what our objectives are." "I can do this little job blindfolded." "So everybody just calm down around here." "Alpha Level technicians, report to monitoring stations." "Optical sensor check commencing." "Initiate hydroponic speaker check." "Keep this between eight and eleven or it's gonna get too hot." "Good luck, lieutenant." "Thank you, Wendell." "Zero minus five." "All personnel to their stations, please." "There you go." "Just one more thing, lieutenant." "I want to make sure we got everything." "There shouldn't be any surprises...." "Good luck, lieutenant." "All personnel, this is now a level two priority condition." "Be careful of this 3808 unit." "I spilled coffee on it." "It's not quite as reliable as it was." "Still rolling?" "Great." "We are using a Kraken Two submersible pod modified with a helium neon laser scalpel of our own proprietary design." "This was a 50 milliwatt unit which has been increased to 600." "Just pay attention to your business there." "600 milliwatts, which in spacial equivalency would be 60 kilowatts." "We have high efficiency possible because of spectral coatings which we've applied to all surfaces within the laser."

"We'll have you in Bugs in a moment." "I need help with this rodent." "Look at this thing." "Primitive." "Definitely primitive." "Margaret?" "Ozzie." "I see you've backed yourself into a corner again." "Mr. Igoe." "Stop him." "We need that syringe." "Ozzie?" "Ozzie, what the hell's going on out there?" "Ozzie, am I being punished?" "Mr. Putter?" "Mr. Putter?" "Well, I certainly envy you." "Fun, excitement, relaxation." "No excitement." "Doctor's orders." "How about maybe a little shipboard romance?" "As long as it isn't too exciting." "Hey!" "Watch it." "Get some help." "Somebody call security." "Don't move him." "Did you see that?" "Automatic pilot now functioning." "Give code for environmental adjust." "You're late." "That's not good."

"What the hell are these things?" "Fat cells?" "What the hell is going on out there?" "Mission Control, do you read me?" "I think I blacked out." "Am I inside Bugs or what?" "Thanks, Greg." "You're late." "I know." "How do I look?" "You look like shit." "Look, I'm still shaking." "What happened?" "The scariest experience of my life." "Have you ever tried slam-dancing?" "Never mind." "Oh, so that's where you were." "Huh?" "I hate to shock you but we had a date." "Oh, yeah, I forgot." "You forgot?" "How could you forget?" "Jack, if you want to be a part of my life, you can't be hassling me." "Wendy, I'm not a part of your life." "Well?" "I'm in a hurry." "Yes." "Yes, you are." "Just add it up, will you?" "If you can hear me I'll restore contact by activating the electromagnetic booster cells." "Say, that's kind of pricey for shampoo, ain't it?" "Oh, no." "$1 28,000!" "Is that with or without the coupons?" "What have you done, Jack?" "What have you done?" "It's a dream." "What?" "It's a dream." "God, Jack!" "Way to screw up!" "Listen, sweetie." "I don't carry that kind of cash with me." "No." "Oh, no." "Jack, get a hold of yourself." "I need aspirin." "What?" "I beg you for some aspirin!" "Here!" "Hey!" "I'm not buying that aspirin now!" "At $800 a bottle, who'd want to?" "Jack, you're becoming unglued." "You're coming apart at the seams." "My God, he's completely spaced out." "All right, let me handle this." "What the hell's that?" "Ozzie?" "Ozzie, I can't hear you." "I hope to hell you can hear me." "I'm gonna proceed with the mission as planned." "Going to autopilot." "Phase one." "Optic nerve interface." "Come on, baby, show me the way." "Please wait." "Environmental adjust required." "What the hell?" "Doesn't anything work?" "Path to optic nerve;" "Gluteal vein to common iliac vein."

"I got it down the hall." "Smoking." "Deploying optic remote." "Optic sensor armed and ready." "Switch to manual control." "Firing optic sensor." "What's wrong, Jack?" "What's wrong?" "Let me see." "Let me see." "Where the hell's the picture?" "Come on." "All right, Oz!" "That's not Oz." "Who the hell is that?" "Where's the lab technicians?" "Where's the lab?" "It was just so strange." "It was like someone shoved a hot sewing needle through my pupil." "Oh, God!" "You stand up now, Jack." "What is this?" "Did Bugs just stand up?" "What's going on?" "This can't be." "I'm in a man." "I'm in a strange man." "I'll be a son of a bitch." "I'm in a man surrounded by strangers in a strange room." "You go home and start your vacation this afternoon." "Thank you." "And you come back to us a new man." "Maybe I should phone my doctor." "Oh, go right ahead, Jack." "What a good idea." "Ozzie, how the hell can I be inside a man?" "I studied up on rabbits." "I gotta talk to this guy." "Pathway to middle ear is;" "Now, miniaturization is achieved through the pairing of. .." "...two Photon Echo Memory Chips, a controller and a remote." "The controller is for miniaturization, but both are needed to re-enlarge." "All of the admissible components are hyper-tooled. ..." ""J. Putter, assistant manager." Find him." "Approaching middle ear." "Hello!" "Hello, can you hear me?" "Repeat." "Repeat." "Respond if you can hear me." "Who, me?" "It works!" "I can hear you!" "Would you talk to me, please?" "Who are you?" "What's your name?" "What?" "Are you talking to me?" "No." "I'm not out there." "I'm in here." "Did you hear that?" "Hear what?" "You didn't hear that then?" "No, I'm sorry." "I didn't hear anything." "Are you feeling all right?" "Would I be in a doctor's office if I was feeling all right?" "We have to talk." "We don't." "Don't what?" "Have to talk." "We do." "We do?" "What?" "Talk." "Not unless you want to." "I'm in here inside your body!" "Oh, God!" "Somebody help me!" "I'm possessed!" "Good news." "I think we can rule out demonic possession right off the bat." "But this voice is talking to me." "See, that proves it." "Demons talk through you, not to you." "What are you doing?" "I started to hyperventilate." "This usually does the trick." "Let's see." "You okay?" "You're not shaky?" "No." "A doctor." "Somebody who'll understand." "Tell your doctor I'm in the tympanic cavity." "I hear it now." "Okay, take it easy." "Just sit down here, and I'll check into it." "What are you waiting for?" "Tell him!" "What, are you deaf?" "Tell him!" "Just relax." "Let's see what's going on in here." "I'm blind!" "Oh, God!" "Now it's talking about God." "Jack, you seem to be experiencing some sort of theistic hysteria." "How do you treat that?" "The medieval remedy was to flay the skin off your body with brands of fire." "I've no idea what the current thinking is." "It's just a little theistic hysteria, which is nothing." "I can see!" "Oh, thank God!" "I can see!" "Jack!" "It knows my name." "Jack, we have to talk." "No!" "We have a little problem here." "I wonder what's on the television." "TV is so much fun now." "Pay attention!" "Oh, good." "This is a good one." "Jack, you can't watch TV." "We have to talk." "Oh, no, I'm inside a guy who likes game shows." "Try a vowel." "I'm gonna hit you with my booster." "Okay, buddy-boy." "Here we go." "Fire!" "Fire!" "Jack, you wanna watch TV?" "Watch this." "Primary coil overload." "Fire!" "Fire!" "Oh, Jack." "You see that I am real, Jack." "You do believe me now, don't you?" "Huh?" "I don't know what to believe." "Believe it, Jack." "Believe it because it's true." "I want you to listen to me." "Listen good." "All right?" "We're in this together, and we gotta help each other out." "You don't work at the lab, do you?" "Lab?" "No, I work at Safeway." "You don't know anything about the experiment?" "What experiment?" "Oh, God." "The miniaturization experiment." "No." "All right." "Jack, my name is Lieutenant Tuck Pendelton." "I've been miniaturized." "I was supposed to be injected. .." "...into a laboratory rabbit." "Somehow I got inside you instead." "What do you mean?" "How?" "All I know is I was inside a syringe, and now I'm inside you." "Syringe?" "Hi, you Jack Potter?" "Putter." "Putter." "This yours?" "Yes." "I'm from Cook Travel Agency." "You wanna sign there?" "I think these are probably cruise tickets." "Yeah." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Can I use your phone?" "Sure." "Go ahead." "Thanks, I appreciate it." "Shot your TV out, man?" "Just like Elvis." "You're a lucky guy, going on a cruise." "Taking your roommate?" "I don't have one." "I heard you talking to someone." "Don't trust him." "He 's not a messenger." "I made the drop." "How do you know?" "Gut reaction." "Get out right now!" "Piece of cake." "Where are you going, babe?" "Grab it!" "Grab it!" "Jack, your pulse rate!" "I'm going too fast!" "Jack, bring your knee up!" "Kick him where it counts!" "Now hit him!" "Run!" "Tuck, what's going on?" "Tuck!" "Jack, you did real good." "Calm down, Jack." "I've got a little problem here." "I'm gonna go off radio contact for a minute." "Shit!" "Approaching heart valve." "Back, baby!" "Do not enter heart." "Turbo thrusters at maximum." "Warning." "Cardiovascular threshold exceeded." "Cardiac arrest imminent." "Take evasive action." "That's it." "Just a little further." "This won't hurt a bit, Jack." "Up!" "Up!" "Up!" "That's it!" "Let's go!" "That's one hell of a pump you got." "Where have you been?" "Never mind." "Let's just get to the lab." "He can actually talk to you?" "And I can talk to him." "And he's able to see everything I see." "He's in the optic nerve and eardrum." "It was part of the experiment." "To see if a miniaturized human could make contact with its host organism." "He's not a bunny." "The computer doesn't know." "It simply reads the environment and adjusts." "Can you see me, lieutenant?" "Yeah, I can see you." "Yes, he can." "Good work!" "Job well done!" "I can't believe this!" "Find out what went wrong." "Lieutenant Pendelton wonders what went wrong." "You threw him in with eggheads who don't know squat about security." "Thanks for the hot tip." "Don't worry." "We'll do everything we can to get you out of this civilian." "You better, you two-faced son of a bitch." "Tuck says thank you." "Yeah." "Excuse us a minute." "Let me talk to you outside." "Stay here." "Both of you." "Oh, that's good." "You're home free now." "I never trusted Pete Blanchard." "Can you see where they went?" "Yes." "Hold on." "Yes." "Look directly at them." "Don't turn." "I think I can beef up the reception a bit." "I've been trying to explain to you what's going on." "Explain it then." "We 're not the only ones working on miniaturization." "Don't you think I know that?" "I can hear them." "Shut up and listen." "We are the first to perfect re-enlargement, with two chips." "One is in the pod." "The other one has been stolen." "What do we do?" "Recover the stolen chip." "Don't you have duplicates?" "No." "That's thinking ahead." "We can make duplicates." "But not by 9:00 a.m. tomorrow." "What happens at 9:00?" "By 9:00 his air supply runs out." "That is no problem." "All he's gotta do is get to the lungs, open the hatch and breathe in." "The change in the cabin pressure would cause the pod to explode..." "..." "like a balloon." "Right, Einstein." "We don't really have to do anything." "The stolen chip is useless without the one inside the pod." "You build your duplicates." "We 'll be right back in business." "Yeah, but what about Pendelton?" "We can't save him now." "Thanks, Pete." "Maybe we can use him." "Bring the perpetrators out into the open." "Find it?" "Keys are in the pocket." "Car's out back." "You see that door?" "Use it." "What are you waiting on?" "Don't rush me!" "Let me think this through." "Factor this into your thinking:" "My air supply is running out." "If you don't help me, you'll wind up  with this miniaturizedpod floating in your insides  with this tiny human skeleton at the helm." "Not a pretty thought." "But you have to do something for me." "Anything!" "Let's just go!" "The red Mustang convertible." "It's over there!" "Careful!" "This isn't a Honda!" "There's 500 horses underneath this baby." "Use the clutch!" "It's a five-speed stick!" "Mr. Putter, we" "Oh, that's great, doc." "No pain." "What?" "That's the thing I want from you." "No pain." "I mean, just don't do anything weird in there, okay?" "Don't cause an embolism or an aneurysm or accidentally sever my spinal cord and then just kind of go, "Oh, sorry."" "Okay, no pain." "Thank you." "Home sweet home." "Is this where you live?" "Yeah, ain't it great?" "I call it user-friendly." "What's this thing?" "Just something else from Vector-Scope that doesn't work." "I need a drink." "How about you?" "Drink?" "No, I don't drink." "You do now." "I can't have a drink unless you have a drink." "You see that table with the motorcycle engine?" "Yeah." "Check the cylinder." "Okay." "All right." "Empty. lt's empty." "Oh, yeah, right." "Check the sink with the big fish in it." "Bottle of Southern Comfort?" "It's here." "I want you to take a big old tug on that baby and I'll do the rest, all right?" "We'll drink this one to Ozzie." "A good man who tried to save my ass by injecting me into yours." "To Ozzie." "Come on, lucky flask." "Oklahoma-taya!" "Great, Jack." "When things are at their darkest, it's a brave man that can party." "Jack?" "Let the good times roll." "I didn't know dancing could be so fun." "Try it with a girl sometime." "You mean someone like this?" "Yeah, somebody like that." "You know what's weird?" "You are seeing parts of my body that I will never get to see." "Believe me, you're not missing all that much." "The gastric mucosa." "Intestinal villi." "Pulmonary alveoli." "Faraway places with strange-sounding names." "Hey, Jack!" "Jack, go to the mirror in the bedroom, will you?" "Why?" "I don't know what the hell..." "...you look like from the outside." "Sure." "Are you drunk?" "No." "I got up too fast." "I'm just a little dizzy." "Yeah, yeah, right." "Is that you?" "That's me." "Look at you." "Look at me." "Go to the mirror." "Come on." "How's this?" "Little too close." "Too close?" "How is this?" "This good?" "You know what?" "We're gonna need a lot more help." "Can you drive?" "Is your head clear?" "Yes." "Yes." "Slap yourself in the face." "What?" "Your face." "Slap it." "Harder!" "Again!" "Sober yet?" "One more time." "Okay, how does it feel?" "It feels good." "The Jack Putter machine, zero defects." "God help us." ""Espionage in Silicon Valley."" ""The Buying and Selling of Technology."" "It sounded like supplement stuff to me then and that's how it sounds to me now." "Lydia, will you look at me?" "When people get murdered, that's when we'll print it." "Harry, people are getting murdered." "Huh?" "A scientist named Ozzie Wexler was gunned down." "Nobody saw it." "What do you know?" "He worked for a lab called Vector-Scope near the mall." "Something get stolen maybe?" "I don't know." "Why?" "The Cowboy." "Who's the Cowboy?" "Is he here now?" "On his way." "TWA flight 607 arriving San Francisco International at 4." "What am I, chopped liver?" "Who's the Cowboy?" "I'm sorry, sir." "You're gonna have to extinguish that cigar." "There is nothing like a good cigar." "Eh, partner?" "Hey!" "Hey, there she is!" "Where?" "I saw her out of the corner of your eye." "Honk the horn!" "Don't let her get away!" "Pull over!" "I am." "Hey!" "You see her?" "Yeah." "What are you doing?" "This is Tuck Pendelton's car." "He know you have it?" "He'd rather trust someone with his life than with this." "Here we go." "Why are you wearing Tuck's jacket?" "Lydia, shut up and listen!" "Lydia, shut up and listen!" "Boy, you said it good." "Look, Tuck's in trouble." "He needs your help." "Tuck is being held for ransom?" "In a manner of speaking, yes." "We need a microchip to get him back." "It was taken from Vector-Scope labs." "So there was a break-in." "Gee, now how did Tuck--?" "How did you get involved in this?" "Me?" "It's a long story." "Good." "I'm a reporter." "I love long stories." "Don't let her take control of the conversation." "Dominate her." "Don't be a wuss-puss." "Be me!" "Look, Lydia, you're gonna have to trust me." "There's no time." "We only have till 9:00 tomorrow morning." "That's good." "Nine o'clock?" "Can't we negotiate for more time?" "No, no." "Where are they keeping him?" "Where?" "Yeah." "Close by." "You know, in the area." "In the immediate area, vicinity." "It's difficult to know" "Who has him?" "Would you excuse me just for one second?" "I'll be right back." "I blew it." "I can't handle her." "You didn 't do so bad." "She's a tough cookie." "A beautiful tough cookie." "You're a lucky guy." "What?" "I hate this." "Why can't we tell her the truth?" "She might believe us." "No!" "It's humiliating being this small." "What's so bad about being small?" "You're not gonna be small forever." "Play with it, but don't talk to it." "Who was that?" "Never mind." "Tuck?" "Yeah?" "Just checking." "Hold it!" "This is a taser gun deploying a charge of 20,000 volts." "It will immobilize you for 15 minutes." "It will render you unconscious as well." "So I would let go of that man!" "No!" "System overload." "Somebody call the police!" "Jack?" "Jack, are you all right?" "We had a massive power surge." "Jack, what is going on?" "Your heart rate's going way down." "I'm...." "You had me worried." "I thought I'd lost you a minute there, kid." "Where are we, a meat locker?" "I'm freezing!" "You're freezing?" "Jack, what is that loud clicking sound?" "Mr.Scrimshaw!" "Jack, who are these people?" "Where are we?" "Dr.Canker, get in here." "This is a doctor?" "Well?" "Mild hypothermia." "Do we need him alive?" "Oh, yes." "He should be alive." "Bring a blanket." "Let me take care of him." "I know how to warm him up." "Knock it off." "You're riding in the Subzero." "Very well." "Aren't you riding in the limo?" "No, no, go ahead." "I'm staying back here with my friend Jack." "They mean nothing." "Everybody's got them." "Nobody has the balls to use them." "Right?" "Space, you say." "Space is a flop." "Didn't you know that?" "An endless junkyard of orbiting debris." "But miniaturization, Jack." "That's the ticket, the edge that everybody's been looking for." "Who will have that edge, Jack?" "What country will control miniaturization?" "Frankly, I don't give a shit." "I'm only in this for the money." "And that's why we've got to get that little pod out from inside of you!" "This guy is not operating on all eight cylinders." "Jack, sitting here freezing as we are I'm reminded of the year I worked in the goldfields of Alaska." "Glance around so I can get a lay of the land." "I was a younger man than you then..." "Come on." "...but twice as big." "Wait." "Go back to the doors." "Yeah." "Those were memorable times." "This is it." "Hunting the moose...." "The doors are unlocked." "This is your moment, Jack." "I learned the ways of the Eskimo...." "You're not the same man you were this morning." "You're better, you're stronger." "You're in control." "Psych yourself up!" "See yourself opening the doors." "Jump from the truck." "You're not gonna bag groceries all your life." "Are you?" "Be a hero!" "Psych yourself up!" "Can you do it, Jack?" "!" "Can you see it?" "!" "Yes!" "I can see it!" "Come back here, you fool!" "Whoa, Jack!" "Up!" "Hey, Jack, do you see that truck?" "Come in here, you Safeway clerk!" "You're scaring me!" "Putter!" "Don't be a putz!" "Get in here!" "There's my car!" "It's Lydia!" "We'll jump in the car." "Come on, buddy!" "Come on, buddy!" "Come on!" "Wait!" "Whoa!" "Stop the truck!" "Get closer!" "No, wait!" "What?" "What are you doing?" "What am I doing?" "Get in this car!" "I'm trying to get out of the truck!" "Jump in this car right now!" "Jack, jump in the car!" "You've got to jump in the car!" "You can do it!" "Okay, jump!" "Oh, God!" "I love you!" "Way to go, Jack!" "Why are we here?" "We're waiting for someone." "Who are we waiting for?" "The Cowboy." "I've tracked him for months." "He arrived an hour ago and he always stays here." "He'll lead us right to that chip." "Hey, knock it off." "Why do you think that?" "Because he's a fence." "He deals in stolen western technology which he sells overseas to the highest bidder." "Who do you think introduced Velcro to the Persian Gulf?" "Really?" "There he is." "Perfect timing." "We're checking in." "Let me get the suitcase." "It's much less suspicious if we have a suitcase." "How did you know this was here?" "Tuck keeps a suitcase in the trunk in case he wakes up in a strange place." "Oh, no, she knows about the suitcase?" "The Cowboy is in town, and we don't have that other chip!" "I'm really awfully busy right now." "I'll have to call you back." "Just get me that chip!" "I tipped the clerk $100 for this room so we could hear his every move." "Now when he leaves, we go too." "But what if he just stays in?" "He won't." "He loves the Inferno club." "The guy in the truck was Scrimshaw, right?" "I said cut that out." "I thought you were a gentleman." "Come on, what do you expect?" "Boy, she has the cutest little overbite, don't you think?" "It gives her mouth this adorable pouty expression." "I know what she looks like." "What's your deal anyway?" "It's none of your business." "I could use a change." "Mind if I just dip into your suitcase a little?" "No, dip." "Dip all you like." "Nothing's gonna fit you." "Legal counsel to reputed organized crime figures." "Administrator of teamster pension funds." "Black-market arms dealing, yet he manages to keep his nose clean." "Jeez." "Anything else, Duane?" "Yeah." "He keeps Jimmy Hoffa's watch in his desk drawer as a souvenir." "Oxygen at 60 percent." "Twenty-three hundred...." "We be cool." "Jack, Scrimshaw is" "How do I look?" "What's the matter?" "Nothing." "You just reminded me of a time when Tuck wore this jacket." "Yeah." "It was the night we first met." "You were doing that article about me." "We had dinner and talked until 3 in the morning." "Then I got drunk and fell down a manhole walking you home." "So you're pretty hung up on the guy then, huh?" "How well do you know Tuck?" "Well, we're very close, actually." "Does he talk about me?" "I find that Tuck tends to be a little tight-lipped..." "...about women." "Will you knock it off?" "But if I were Tuck, I'd talk about you all the time." "Yeah." "Right." "The Cowboy." "He's leaving!" "Shouldn't I--?" "I think I need a" "Jack!" "It's Wendy!" "Oh, my God, Jack!" "Look at you!" "Look at you!" "I'm going in." "Right." "I'm with him!" "Yeah, she's with me." "Hey, Cowboy!" "I can't believe it, Jack!" "This is so exciting!" "Oh!" "How long have you led a double life?" "Oh, for a while now." "Women love me." "But you know that." "But for serious, two things to know about me:" "One:" "I make love with my boots on." "And two:" "I know I've been mean to you." "I can just be a shit sometimes." "It doesn't really matter." "It's probably because my life sucks so much." "I'm a complete mess, you know?" "You know?" "Yeah." "You're probably the only person at the supermarket I haven't slept with." "But you're the only person that I'm even partially attracted to." "Thank you." "That lady is signaling you." "I came with her." "I should find out what she wants." "The Cowboy is meeting with Scrimshaw this morning." "They are picking him up at the hotel." "They're gonna give him the microchip." "Cowboy this is Jack." "Hi, Cowboy." "Howdy, Big Jack." "Let's go, buffalo gal." "Let's split this..." "...nowhere scene." "We're going to the hotel." "Follow us." "I'm sorry, I gotta go." "Call me later?" "Sure, yeah." "Hurry up!" "I am hurrying up, okay?" "I don't want to see her with that cowboy either." "Oh, yeah?" "Why not?" "Because I just don't, that's why." "I can't believe how hostile I feel toward you." "I'm stimulating your adrenal gland." "Maybe that's why and maybe not." "You got something to say, say it." "She deserves better." "Better than what?" "Better than you!" "Oh, I knew it!" "You think she goes for you?" "You know what she sees in you?" "She sees me." "All right, Pendelton, that's it!" "Where are you, you little weasel?" "Save it for the Cowboy." "Wrong door!" "That's an exit." "Come on, control it." "You're a dangerous individual, Jack." "You can do it!" "Big Jack!" "Don't knock, just come." "Duke the son ofa bitch!" "Where were you?" "Waiting next door." "Beauty punch anyway, Big Jack." "Now tie that sucker tight." "He'll squirm when he wakes up." "There you go." "Now, look at the Cowboy." "Hold it!" "Hold it right there." "Emulation systems activated." "Contour analysis, stage one." "Move over, Picasso!" "Look at this!" "Grid-mapping ectodermal contours." "Go to the mirror." "What are we gonna do?" "I'm going to stimulate your nerves." "What?" "I'm gonna alter your face." "Alter my face?" "How do you do that?" "It's complicated." "I don't even understand it myself." "Just trust me." "Will it hurt?" "Yeah." "Well, let's not do it then" "What are you doing in there, Jack?" "Are you okay?" "We're getting there." "Hang on." "This might pinch just a little bit." "Now, was that a five or a six?" "No, I'm right." "That's fine." "What?" "What did you do to him?" "Who?" "Jack." "I'm Jack." "No!" "You get away from me!" "Stay away!" "Listen to my voice." "It's me." "Then who's in the bathroom?" "He is." "Who?" "The Cowboy." "Sorry." "Look I know it's hard to understand." "You just have to believe me and trust me." "I can explain it later." "How did you get Jack's hair?" "I'm not too sure." "Go in and see for yourself." "I will go see for myself, you know?" "I'm not stupid." "Oh, my God." "How?" "Don't ask." "Okay?" "Trust me." "I'll explain everything." "I promise." "But, not right now." "I'm going with you." "No, it's not safe." "Better not, Lydia." "You know Tuck said he actually did the things I only write about." "Now I want to do what I write about." "Now open your mouth, come on." "Men?" "Mr." "Scrimshaw is waiting." "All right, what do you say?" "Never beg." "Never beg." "Hello, Cowboy." "Howdy!" "Welcome." "Come in." "Sit down." "Join us." "We have been waiting for you." "We're close friends?" "I hope not." "How long has it been, Cowboy?" "You tell me." "Almost six years." "Don't you remember?" "di Amin's barbecue." "Oh, yes, how could I forgot." "The sauce." "You haven't forgotten the last time we saw each other, have you?" "Speaking of which, we have a rather attractive starter here this morning." "Yes." "My sister." "In law." "Good morning, sister-in-law." "Murnau, another place setting, please." "I don't know what it is, but there's something about you." "Please." "You have changed." "You're different." "Yes." "I've been sick." "Good thinking." "Have some champagne." "Please, join me." "I believe these are the kind you like." "Cuban?" "Cuban?" "Hey, Jack, you're in luck." "Cuban are the best." "I save this for later." "Cowboy, what has happened to your hair?" "I had it done." "Clint Eastwood style." "You see Outlaw Josey Wales?" "What a flick." "All right, let's get down to business." "Dr. Canker?" "Yes, well..." "...miniaturization needs two chips." "Don't play with the food." "We have one at the moment, and we'll have the other one very soon." "Take what they got." "Fine." "I take what you got." "You do understand the first chip only miniaturizes." "Both are required for re-enlargement." "We will whet their appetites." "Good point, Cowboy." "Thank you." "Good point." "Thank you." "Doctor, the chip please." "Easy, easy." "There it is." "Hang on now, Jack." "Okay, now I want you to reach out. .." "...put it in your pocket." "It's so tiny." "Who would think--?" "What are you doing?" "Take the chip." "Don't freeze up on me." "Miss, has Cowboy ever told you of his incredible tolerance for pain?" "His what?" "His what?" "His ability to withstand pain." "His stoicism is legendary." "Hiding your light under a bushel?" "That is so unlike you." "If that is who you are." "Do you mind satisfying my curiosity on that point?" "In lieu of champagne how about some real pain?" "Propane?" "Warning!" "Adrenalin overload. ..." "Jack!" "You all right, Jack?" "Don't worry." "Dr. Canker pioneered the field of limb replacement." "You're generating too much energy." "I can't hold the balance." "Try to stay calm, Jack!" "Cowboy, stop it." "Don't do that." "I was just kidding." "Please, Cowboy, no more." "It was only a joke." "Cowboy, I beg of you." "Stop it." "How you doing, Jack?" "Oh, God in heaven, deliver us from Satan." "Oh." "It's him." "It's Putter!" "Get him!" "Get out of there." "Did you swallow it, you stupid animal?" "Give it to me!" "Give it to me!" "You found it." "Hey, don't kill him." "Lock him up." "The girl too." "Oh, God!" "This is sad." "Great." "I'm gonna have tetanus now." "We gotta get out of here." "We've got to get out." "Don't stand there." "Will you help?" "No." "What?" "Not until you tell me what's going on." "And I want to know everything, Jack." "You might as well tell her." "Really?" "Yes, really." "Yes, really." "Right." "They're preparing the lab now." "Good." "I don't think she believes me." "I wouldn 't either." "Well, I mean" "So..." "...you're talking to him right now?" "Yeah, right." "No, I don't buy that, Jack." "This is getting to be too much, you know?" "I guess I'm just gonna have to prove it to her." "Jack, repeat to Lydia exactly what I say." "Lydia..." "Lydia..." "..." "I don't blame you for walking out." "..." "I don't blame you for walking out." "But it was my heart that was broken, not my toe." "But it was my heart that was broken, not my toe." "What?" "Tuck?" "It's you." "Wait." "Let's all just wait a second." "Tuck?" "I want a moment alone." "Shut off your sensors." "No picture, no sound." "Bad idea, Jack." "I can't do that." "What if I can't restore contact?" "Look, I just want one moment alone." "Alone with Lydia, you mean." "Look, I think you owe this to me." "Okay, Jack." "Signing off." "I'm not exactly sure what I want to say to you." "I know we haven't known each other very long." "Less than a day, but" "They're coming." "Well, so much for words." "Okay, let's go." "Jack, come in." "Jack, do you read me?" "Come in." "Damn, I knew I shouldn't have shut this thing down." "Jack!" "Where the hell am I?" "Mr. Putter, if you please?" "Hey!" "Hey, hey, hey!" "Put the girl in my office." "Not to worry, Putter." "We know what we're doing." "We'll miniaturize Mr.Igoe." "And inject him into Putter." "He'll locate the pod, eliminate its pilot and retrieve the second chip." "Oxygen reserves at 40 percent." "I was getting some gum." "Sure, after I check for nail files." "Lydia." "I'm in Lydia." "Oh, Lydia." "I'm a dad." "Duane, it's Lydia." "Listen, I'm in trouble." "Call the police and tell them..." "..." "I'm in a factory across from Pier 18." "What's up?" "I can't talk now." "Call Vector-Scope and say I'm bringing Pendelton in." "And call Blanchard." "His number's in my Rolodex." "Got it?" "Yeah." "Ready to inject subject." "Once Igoe is inside and takes command of their pod how do we get the chip out?" "Mr.Igoe will exit through a tear duct or a sweat gland." "Why chance it?" "Once he takes over the pod and gets the chip let's re-enlarge." "While it's still inside Mr.Putter?" "Why not?" "Any idea of the mess that would make?" "Tuck, help me." "Make me strong." "Restrain him!" "He's in!" "Igoe's in!" "Let him go." "Young lady, you are in over your head here." "Let him go." "Ouch." "Okay, now what?" "I'll tell you what we're gonna do." "Everybody into the miniaturizer." "Everybody into the miniaturizer!" "Go, go!" "Pick it up." "The chip." "Come on, you too." "You haven't heard the last of this." "Got the chip?" "I can't reach." "You can't reach it?" "I can't reach the chip." "Maybe it's one of these here." "Shit!" "Over there." "Nothing's happening." "Try the green button." "They won't know how to close it." "Certainly not." "I'll get you for this." "Hope they're not claustrophobic." "Come on, Jack." "What are these?" "I don't know." "Should've paid attention." "I was strapped down." "Just keep pressing." "Nothing works." "This one, this one." "Oh, my God!" "Cover your eyes!" "Come on, give me the damn chip!" "Drop it!" "Approaching middle ear." "Lydia please hear this, please understand." "External amplifier activated." "Listen!" "What?" "Hear that?" "What?" "Music." "Do you hear that?" "No!" "Come on." "We're in here!" "Who's in there?" "The green button." "Dr." "Canker?" "Press the green button, fool!" "He'll never find it." "The man's a high-school graduate." "The green button, you fool!" "The police." "Who called them?" "Let's get out." "Shit." "Margaret, look what you've done." "Officer, give me a hand." "Help!" "I know the mayor." "Hold it!" "You hold it!" "I bet it ain't even loaded." "Oh, yeah?" "Don't worry." "Tuck will give me the strength of 10 men." "Hear that, Tuck?" "Car keys!" "Come on." "It's our song I'm hearing." "What?" "Tuck's in me." "And he's playing our song." "What are you talking about?" "You mean Tuck is inside you?" "Yes." "But that means I just" " Oh, shit." "Hi, Mr.Killer." "I'm really sorry" "Come on." "Where's my Subzero?" "Oh, just get in the car." "Hide in back." "Help me." "Every man for himself." "Get down, get down." "How did he get in me?" "He hasn't spoken since" "When?" "Since Scrimshaw's cellar!" "Since you kissed me." "Kiss me again." "Huh?" "Can you hear me?" "I'm back." "He's back!" "Let's go." "Lydia!" "How we doing?" "We have the chip." "We're going to Vector-Scope." "Someone's in there with you." "What?" "They put someone in to get you." "What?" "Watch your driving!" "Sorry." "At the lab they put a guy in." "Be careful." "Oh, shit." "Can we make it?" "Can't you go faster?" "You wanna drive?" "I'm going as fast as I can here." "Stop this car!" "Can't you take an order?" "I said stop this car." "Watch your driving!" "What's going on?" "Canker!" "Get me out of here, Canker!" "Get out of my way!" "Stupid little feet!" "Foreign object detected." "Approaching through esophagealpassage." "Malignancy detected." "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Oxygen reserves at 20 percent." "Warning, pressure imbalance." "Thruster one disabled." "Oxygen depletion factor; six" "Get your little hand away!" "I'll drive this car myself." "Insignificant pipsqueak!" "I'm in charge here!" "Knock him off your lap!" "I'll kill you!" "You wanna play?" "Oxygen reserves at 15 percent." "Lydia!" "Come on!" "Get in the car!" "Take a pull on this, pal!" "Are you all right?" "Life support system warning." "The air tanks." "No booster left." "Thruster inoperative." "Gastrointestinal acid detected." "Oxygen reserves at 10 percent." "Jack, are you feeling nervous?" "Actually I'm feeling pretty relaxed now, thanks." "I need some stomach acid, and I need lots of it." "Oh, no, please." "Give me a break." "I don't want to alarm you, but I saw something down here..." "... well, it's probably benign, but" "You saw a tumor?" "How big?" "From my point of view it's about the size of Candlestick Park." "Oh, great, there goes my ulcer." "Acidity increase." "That's it." "Keep those stomach acids flowing!" "Okay, pal." "Here's how I spell relief." "Jack, it worked." "You just digested the bad guy." "There's a phone." "Thank God." "So what?" "All my change shrunk." "Use your credit card." "You do have one?" "All big men have credit cards." "And how are we gonna get up there?" "I've got it." "Cowboy, this is Victor Scrimshaw." "What the hell went--?" "I don't care what you've been through." "It can't compare with what I have." "Or what I'm going through." "Cowboy, listen." "We need those chips, and we need them more than ever." "Oxygen level critical." "Support systems inoperative." "Switch to manual." "Be cool." "I'm running out of air." "I hope we're almost there." "I'm setting a course for the mouth." "Fire up the boilers!" "Fire them up!" "Jack!" "Hey, Jack!" "What?" "You gotta sneeze for me." "Why?" "I don't have enough oxygen to exit." "The sneeze has been clocked at 100 miles per hour and my only chance is for you to sneeze!" "Okay, but how though?" "Where is he?" "My lung." "He's in the lung!" "The lung." "Which lung?" "Just think pollen, think ragweed, think animal dander, fur balls, anything!" "I don't know." "Hair spray!" "Somebody get me hair spray!" "Get me some hair spray!" "Right away!" "Here." "Give me that." "Not mousse, hair spray!" "Give me that!" "Give me that!" "Bless you, Jack." "Mr." "Putter" "No!" "No." "Somebody hand me the optivisor." "Quick!" "I see it." "I see the pod." "Somebody have tweezers?" "Tweezers!" "Tweezers!" "Quickly." "Come on, quickly." "Go." "Activate re-enlargement." "The chip." "Who's got the chip?" "I don't have it." "I do." "The chip, you've got it?" "I had it." "Where is it?" "Chip!" "There's the chip!" "Go!" "There's the chip." "There it is." "Go, go, go!" "Good." "I don't have time for this." "Thanks for telling me." "PEMs one and two functional." "What's this?" ""Eat me"? "Drink me"?" "It's from The Exorcist." "No!" "Alice in Wonderland!" "She drank something big and became something small." "Was it the other way around?" "I don't know." "Pick one." "You pick one." "Yes!" "Great." "Flashlights." "Get some flashlights." "Hurry!" "Okay?" "If it's the right program." "Go ahead." "Activate centrifuge." "Right centrifuge activated." "We gotta have goggles." "Activate laser pre-light." "Laser pre-light activated." "Initiate MRD sequence." "MRD Initiated." "Straight ahead." "Five, four, three two, one, zero." "Well?" "Maybe it was "Drink me."" "Disengage cooker shield." "Let's get him out!" "Initiating shield disengagement." "Prepare for pod access." "You okay there, buddy?" "Back up!" "Give him some air!" "I love you, Lydia." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Welcome home, lieutenant." "Like a cigar?" "Cuban?" "Yes." "Thanks." "Congratulations." "Thanks, man." "Thanks a lot." "Thanks for the cruise tickets." "It's only two years' savings." "No big deal." "Oh, that all?" "Well we sure made one hell of a team, didn't we?" "Take care, Big Jack." "Nobody even noticed my cufflinks." "He has the chips on him." "Good." "Close the lid." "Close the lid." "I can't breathe in here." "Shut up." "It's true, Jack." "The whole shipment had worms." "Oh, listen, don't run any red lights, okay?" "Thanks a lot." "You're so nice." "I think it's important that...." "Nice wedding." "Stop around the office next week." "I've got some new tests I'd like to run on you." "I've been thinking about something, and I think we should try dating." "Not exclusively at first." "Since you're not going on the cruise I sure could use you at the store on Monday." "That was the Cowboy." "Huh?" "Who's the Cowboy?" "It's classified." "Doc, I'm cured." "Wendy, not a chance." "And Mr. Wormwood, thank you and I quit." "Jack Putter to the rescue!"
