:38:04
Son, your mother and I
just wanted to say good night.
:38:08
Yes. And to tell you that we love you.
:38:13
We only do what we do
because we love you.
:38:15
Maybe we can all go to Retroland
next weekend, the three of us.
:38:19
What about my fabulous dog Goddard?
:38:22
Sure. Your fabulous dog Goddard, too.
:38:26
Well, good night, son.
:38:28
Good night, Jimmy. Sweet dreams.
:38:30
We'll see you in the morning.
:38:35
OK.
:38:37
So they said good night.
:38:39
"In the morning"? Hey, wait a minute.
:38:42
Play back the last part again.
Audio only.
:38:45
Good night, Jimmy. Sweet dreams.
We'll see you in the morning.
:38:48
There. Why would she say that
if they weren't gonna be here?
:38:52
Come on, Goddard.
We're going to the lab.
:38:56
It's just as I thought.
:38:58
The serifs and kerning on the note don't
match Mom and Dad's handwriting.
:39:02
This note's a fake.
:39:04
What is it, boy?
:39:07
The Long-Range Space Scanner.
It detected something.
:39:10
Filtering out background
radiation and... There it is.
:39:15
Jumping Jupiter!
The Earth's been visited by aliens!
:39:21
OK, so me, you and a dog
:39:24
are gonna battle
an alien civilisation, right?
:39:28
- By ourselves?
- He's a good dog. Aren't you, boy?
:39:33
The last time we tried this, we couldn't
even break free of the atmosphere.
:39:37
I know, I know. But I recalculated
the thrust-to-fuel ratio
:39:41
and I've adjusted
the engine accordingly.
:39:44
- I can fix that.
- Neutron.
:39:50
- What is it?
- An angry mob.
:39:57
In times of crisis, intellectuals
are always the first to go.
