[ METAL CLANKING ] >> Ben: HOW DID YOU FIT ALL THIS STUFF IN HERE?
>> Max: GRADUALLY.
I HAVEN'T DONE SPRING CLEANING IN THE RUSTBUCKET SINCE I GOT HER.
>> Kevin: EXCEPT FOR WHEN I BLEW IT UP -- WHICH I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T MENTION.
>> Max: JUST HELP CARRY THE BOXES OUTSIDE AND STACK THEM UP.
>> Ben: [ GRUNTING ] HEAVY!
[ THUD ] >> Gwen: NOT IF YOU TAKE THEM ONE AT A TIME.
>> Ben: I GOT A BETTER IDEA.
[ BEEP ] >> Fourarms: FOURARMS!
>> Max and Gwen: BEN!
>> Max: YOU'RE TOO BIG TO BE IN HERE.
>> Fourarms: NO, I'M NO-- [ GLASS SHATTERS ] >> Max: BEN!
>> Fourarms: SORRY! SORRY!
I'M GOING!
[ GLASS SHATTERS ] [ LIGHT THUD ] [ GROWLS ]
UNH!
THANKS A LOT, KEVIN!
>> Kevin: ANYTIME.
[ BEEP ]
>> Gwen: LOOK WHAT I FOUND.
>> Max: OH, THAT SHOULDN'T BE IN THERE.
>> Gwen: CAN I KEEP IT?
>> Max: I'D LET YOU HAVE ANYTHING, SWEETHEART, BUT THAT
BRACELET HAS A LOT OF MEANING TO ME.
>> Kevin: IT MATCHES HIS HANDBAG.
>> Gwen: WHY DO YOU HAVE A WOMAN'S BRACELET?
>> Max: IT'S NOT EXACTLY JEWELRY, GWEN.
IT BELONGED TO YOUR GRANDMOTHER.
LONG STORY.
[ SIGHS ] I WAS ABOUT KEVIN'S AGE --
A ROOKIE WITH THE TACTICAL AIR COMMAND.
>> TAC 3, TAC 3!
TENNYSON! DO YOU COPY?
>> Max: I THINK I SEE SOMETHING.
[ RAPID BEEPING ]
>> Max: [ GRUNTS ] [ GRUNTING ] YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!
[ RAPID BEEPING ]
ALL RIGHT -- PLAN "B."
YEAH! DOWN YOU GO!
[ ALARM BEEPING ] HUH?
OH, NUTS!
[ BEEPING CONTINUES ]
>> YOU THINK THE LAWS OF PHYSICS DON'T APPLY TO YOU, TENNYSON?
F-104s ARE RATED FOR MACH 2.
YOU WERE PUSHING MACH 3.
YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AN F-104 GOES THAT FAST?!
IT FALLS APART!
>> Max: SIR, IF YOU'D GIVE ME A CHANCE TO EXP-- >> NO! NO MORE CHANCES!
NO MORE EXCUSES!
YOU ARE THROUGH!
I AM KICKING YOUR BUTT OFF THIS BASE AND OUT OF THE AIR FORCE!
>> EXCUSE ME, COLONEL.
I'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE.
YOU SAY THERE WAS A U.F.O., WHICH THE OTHER PILOTS NEVER SAW, WHICH DIDN'T SHOW UP ON
RADAR, WHICH YOU THEN CHASED AND SHOT DOWN.
AND YOU'RE STICKING WITH THAT?
>> Max: YES, SIR -- BECAUSE IT'S THE TRUTH.
>> SON, DO YOU KNOW WHY PRESIDENT KENNEDY WANTS TO SEND US TO THE MOON?
>> Max: BECAUSE OF THE RUSSIANS.
>> NO.
BECAUSE OF THE KIND OF THING YOU SAW TODAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU TANGLED WITH, BUT I DO KNOW IT WAS REAL.
OF COURSE, OFFICIALLY, WE DENY EVERYTHING.
>> Max: THEN WHY TELL ME?
>> HMM.
QUITE A RECORD YOU'VE GOT HERE -- TOP SCORES ACADEMICALLY, YOU ACED OUR ELITE COMBAT
TRAINING COURSE.
YOU'RE MAYBE THE FINEST YOUNG PILOT IN THE AIR FORCE OVERALL.
>> Max: YEAH?
>> ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU'VE BEEN CITED REPEATEDLY FOR INSUBORDINATION.
>> Max: ONLY WHEN MY COMMANDING OFFICERS WERE WRONG.
SIR.
>> YOU'VE BEEN REPRIMANDED FOR PARTICIPATING IN A DOZEN OR MORE BRAWLS, AND YOUR PERSONAL
ETHICS ARE BEST DESCRIBED AS "SITUATIONAL."
>> Max: MY ORDERS ARE TO GET THE JOB DONE, SIR.
THAT'S WHAT I DO.
>> IN SHORT, YOU'RE SMART, TOUGH, SKILLED, AND STUBBORN.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT SOUNDS LIKE TO ME?
>> Max: GROUNDS FOR A DISHONORABLE DISCHARGE, SIR?
>> IT SOUNDS LIKE AN ASTRONAUT, SON.
>> Max: SIR?
>> THE WORLD IS CHANGING.
ALIENS ARE VISITING OUR PLANET AT WILL, DOING WE DON'T KNOW WHAT.
THE PRESIDENT WANTS US TO BE PREPARED -- TO BE ABLE TO DEFEND OURSELVES IF NECESSARY, MEET
THESE "VISITORS" ON A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD.
SO, WHAT DO YOU SAY?
DO YOU WANT TO GO TO THE MOON?
>> Max: YES, SIR!
>> THEN YOU ARE HEREBY TRANSFERRED TO LANGLEY FIELD IN VIRGINIA.
ENJOY THE WEEKEND, AIRMAN, BECAUSE STARTING MONDAY, YOU ARE AN ASTRONAUT IN TRAINING.
>> Max: WHOO-HOO!
[ ENGINE REVS ]
[ MUSIC PLAYS ON JUKEBOX ]
HOW'S YOUR CHILI?
>> PRETTY BAD.
>> Max: THAT'S MY FAVORITE KIND.
I'LL TAKE A DOUBLE ORDER.
>> WHY THE LONG FACE, FLYBOY?
>> Max: I GOT SOME GOOD NEWS TODAY.
>> [ LAUGHS ] AND YOU WERE HOPING TO DO A LITTLE CELEBRATING TONIGHT, HUH?
>> Max: YEAH, I GUESS.
THE PICKINS ARE LOOKING PRETTY SLIM IN HERE.
>> I'M GONNA TRY NOT TO TAKE THAT PERSONALLY.
>> Max: HELLO.
PRESENT COMPANY EXCEPTED, OF COURSE.
>> OF COURSE.
>> I'LL LET YOU TWO GET ACQUAINTED.
>> Max: I'M MAX.
>> VERDONA.
>> Max: UNUSUAL NAME.
I'M GONNA TAKE A FLIER AND GUESS THAT YOU'RE NOT FROM AROUND HERE.
>> HOW VERY PERCEPTIVE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER TALENTS?
>> Max: SURE.
ONLY, THEY'RE CLASSIFIED.
>> I'M GOOD AT KEEPING SECRETS.
>> Max: ALL RIGHT.
I'M...GOING INTO SPACE.
>> YOU DON'T SAY.
>> Max: YEP. I'M AN ASTRONAUT.
I'M GONNA BE THE FIRST MAN ON THE MOON.
>> SOUNDS LONELY.
>> Max: WELL, I'D INVITE YOU ALONG, BUT THE CAPSULE WILL BE KIND OF CRAMPED.
>> NO PROBLEM. I'M SMALL.
>> Max: IS THAT SO?
>> We need to go -- now!
>> Max: [ Chuckling ] WELL, YOU DON'T WASTE ANY TIME.
>> YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
YOU'RE THE ONE I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND.
>> Max: THEN I GUESS WE BOTH GOT LUCKY.
>> NO!
>> Max: LEAVE THE LADY BE, OR WE GOT OURSELVES A PROB-- UNH!
>> Sheriff, it's Florence.
Come quick.
>> Max: I SAID, "LEAVE HER ALONE"!
AAH!
UNH!
[ GRUNTS ] [ PANTING ]
SORRY I HAD TO HIT YOU SO HARD BUDDY,
BUT YOU WERE OUT OF...
LINE?
[ CRACKLING ]
>> WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!
>> Max: IT'S OKAY.
I CAN TAKE HIM.
>> NO, YOU CAN'T!
WE HAVE TO RUN!
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ] [ TIRES SQUEAL ]
[ SIREN WAILS ]
[ TIRES SCREECH ] [ WAILING STOPS ] [ DOOR OPENS ]
[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]
>> WHOA, THERE, MISTER!
STOP RIGHT --
HUH?!
UNH!
[ RAPID BEEPING ]
>> Max: WHAT WAS THAT THING?
WHY IS IT CHASING YOU?
WHAT IN SAM HILL IS GOING ON?!
>> THAT'S ALL RATHER DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN.
>> Max: THEN I'LL TRY AN EASY ONE -- WHO ARE YOU?
>> MY NAME IS VERDONA.
THAT'S ALL I CAN TELL YOU FOR NOW.
[ TIRES SCREECH ] >> Max: I'M DONE WITH "TWENTY QUESTIONS."
NOW, WE CAN SIT HERE TILL YOUR BOYFRIEND CATCHES UP, OR YOU CAN COME CLEAN!
>> FINE.
WHAT YOU SAID BEFORE WAS CORRECT.
I'M NOT "FROM AROUND HERE."
I'M FROM ANOTHER PLANET, AND THE MAN CHASING ME ISN'T A MAN AT ALL.
HE'S ACTUALLY FROM A RACE OF SENTIENT ROBOTS CALLED SYNTHROIDS.
>> Max: OH.
WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO?
[ SIREN WAILING ] >> IT'S COMING!
[ ENGINE REVS ] >> Max: AND THIS IS US GOING.
[ TIRES SQUEAL ]
[ RAPID BEEPING ]
HEY! WATCH THE PAINT JOB!
[ TIRES SCREECH ] [ TIRES SCREECH ]
MY RIDE!
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S HOW YOU WANT TO PLAY IT.
[ TIRES SCREECH ] [ TIRES SCREECH ]
HE HAD IT COMING.
I BUILT THIS CAR PRACTICALLY BY HAND.
[ WAILING CONTINUES ]
>> DON'T YOU HAVE TO STOP?
>> Max: THAT'S ONE WAY TO HANDLE IT.
[ ENGINE REVS ]
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
THAT'LL SLOW HIM DOWN.
>> NOT FOR LONG.
[ TIRES SQUEAL ]
>> Max: JOINT'S BEEN STRIPPED CLEAN -- NO GAS, NO TOOLS, NO FOOD.
ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOU?
>> WELL, I ALSO HAVE CERTAIN -- HOW SHALL I PUT THIS? -- ABILITIES.
>> Max: SO WHY DON'T YOU USE THEM?
>> I CAN'T.
THE SYNTHROID PUT THIS ON MY ARM.
IT LOCKED ME IN THIS FORM AND NEUTRALIZES MOST OF MY POWERS.
>> Max: MOST?
>> I CAN STILL USE TELEPATHY.
>> Max: THEN YOU CAN TELL WHEN THAT ROBOT'S GETTING CLOSE.
>> TELEPATHY ONLY WORKS WITH LIVING BEINGS.
THE SYNTHROID IS A MACHINE.
BUT I DID READ YOUR MIND.
>> Max: IN THE DINER?
IT WOULDN'T TAKE SUPERPOWERS TO TELL WHAT I WAS THINKING, DOLL.
>> NOT THEN -- WHEN YOU WERE CHASING US IN YOUR FIGHTER JET.
>> Max: YOU WERE IN THE U.F.O.
>> A CAPTIVE.
THEN YOU SHOT IT DOWN, AND I ESCAPED.
BUT I KNEW THAT I HAD TO FIND YOU.
>> Max: SO, YOU JUST LIKE ME FOR MY MIND?
>> DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN HELP ME.
>> Max: HOLD THAT THOUGHT.
[ ENGINE IDLING ]
THIS THING'S PROBABLY SOME KIND OF TRACKING DEVICE.
>> WHAT DO WE DO?
>> Max: IF WE WANT TO MAKE SURE TIN MAN CAN'T FOLLOW US, WE NEED TO GET IT OFF YOUR ARM.
AND I THINK I KNOW HOW.
>> WHAT IS THIS PLACE?
>> Max: THEY SMELT COPPER HERE.
I FLEW OVER IT ALL THE TIME ON PRACTICE RUNS.
NOW STAY REAL STILL.
[ LOUD CLANKING ] [ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]
>> CUT IT OFF! HURRY!
>> Max: [ GRUNTING ] WHATEVER IT'S MADE OF, IT'S
STRONGER THAN THESE METAL SHEARS.
BUT MAYBE THE SYNTHROID ISN'T AS TOUGH.
DO YOU TRUST ME?
I NEED YOU TO DO SOMETHING FOR ME.
UNH!
>> ARE YOU HURT?
>> Max: [ Strained ] YEAH -- MY KNEE.
WASN'T EXPECTING TO FALL THAT HARD.
>> I KNOW THE FEELING.
[ LIQUID BUBBLING ]
Both: UNH!
>> Max: [ GROANS ]
[ ENGINE REVS ]
>> Max: I'M COMING FOR YOU, DOLL.
I JUST GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THAT SHIP CRASHED.
COME ON, TENNYSON.
USE YOUR HEAD.
MY HEAD.
SHE SAID OUR MINDS ARE LINKED.
HEY! TIN MAN!
[ GRUNTS ]
[ RAPID BEEPING ]
UNH!
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH HER?!
>> [ Robotic voice ] THE FEMALE IS AN ANODITE.
>> Max: AN ANO-WHAT?
>> I'M AN ENERGY BEING.
THE SYNTHROIDS ARE GOING TO USE ME LIKE A BATTERY.
I CAN POWER THEIR WORLD FOR YEARS -- UNTIL THEY DRAIN ME DRY.
>> WHAT IS ONE LIFE COMPARED TO THE SURVIVAL OF MY SPECIES?
>> Max: THE WAY I SEE IT, ANY LIFE'S PRECIOUS.
BUT YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT, 'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT REALLY ALIVE, ARE YOU?
ANYWAY, YOU CAN'T HAVE HER!
UNH!
>> BUT I WILL HAVE HER.
AND YOU WILL BE DESTROYED, JUST LIKE THE ORGANIC ONES WHO BUILT US.
>> THIS IS MAGISTER LABRID OF THE PLUMBERS.
RELEASE THE ANODITE AND THE HUMAN AND SURRENDER IMMEDIATELY.
>> Max: TOO BAD, TIN MAN.
LOOKS LIKE THE CAVALRY'S HERE.
UNH!
>> PUT YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM.
>> AS YOU WISH.
>> UNH!
>> LET ME GO!
[ WEAPON COCKS ]
>> THAT WEAPON IS NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH TO HARM ME.
>> Max: I WOULDN'T THINK OF SHOOTING YOU, TIN MAN.
BUT YOUR POWER SPHERE...
WE GOT TO STOP MEETING LIKE THIS.
[ RUMBLING ]
[ ALL SHOUT ]
>> I'M FREE!
>> Max: AND...THIS IS WHAT YOU REALLY LOOK LIKE?
>> DOES MY TRUE FORM DISPLEASE YOU?
>> Max: NO.
ON YO THAT'S A GOOD LOOK.
>> AND NOW THAT YOU'VE SEEN ME AS I AM, I HAVE A REQUEST.
>> Max: ASK AWAY.
>> COME INTO SPACE.
COME WITH ME.
>> Max: THAT'S THE SECOND-BEST OFFER I'VE HAD ALL DAY, BUT I CAN'T.
>> WHY?
I KNOW YOU HAVE FEELINGS FOR ME.
>> Max: I DO.
BUT I'VE GOT PLANS.
I'M GOING TO BE THE FIRST MAN ON THE MOON.
>> WHY SETTLE FOR THE MOON WHEN I CAN GIVE YOU THE STARS?
>> Max: YOU CAN'T GIVE ME WHAT I WANT.
I HAVE TO TAKE IT.
IT WOULDN'T BE THE SAME IF I DIDN'T DO IT MYSELF.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
>> YOU ARE A STUBBORN MAN, MAX TENNYSON.
>> Max: I ALWAYS SAY "IT'S A SIN TO WASTE NATURAL TALENT."
>> I WON'T ARGUE, BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN'T CONVINCE YOU.
BUT I PROMISE -- WE WILL MEET AGAIN.
>> Max: I'M COUNTING ON IT.
THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, I WENT INTO THE ASTRONAUT-TRAINING PROGRAM.
>> Gwen: BUT YOU NEVER GOT TO GO TO THE MOON.
>> Max: NOT THE WAY I WANTED TO, BUT I SUPPOSE I CAN'T COMPLAIN.
MAGISTER LABRID CAME BACK AND RECRUITED ME TO THE PLUMBERS.
>> Ben: AND GRANDMA CAME BACK, TOO, RIGHT?
I MEAN, YOU HAD TO MEET HER AGAIN.
>> Max: AH, THAT'S A STORY FOR ANOTHER TIME.
>> Kevin: [ SNORING ] >> Max: WE WOULDN'T WANT TO WAKE KEVIN, NOW, RIGHT?
>> Kevin: [ GASPS ] W-WHAT'D I -- WHAT'D I MISS?
>> Gwen: COME ON, KEVIN.
WE'RE CALLING IT A NIGHT.
>> Max: I'LL BE THERE IN A MINUTE.
GOOD NIGHT, VERDONA...
WHEREVER YOU ARE.
