Meet George Jetson
His boy, Elroy
Daughter, Judy
Jane, his wife
Oh, boy. Another teenager.
Or maybe one of those space sports.
Howdy, son. What can I do for you?
Okay, what's the excuse this time, speedy?
On your way to report a fire?
Or did the mayor ask you to rush into a big conference?
- Beg your pardon? - Don't get smart.
Doing 2800 in a 2200 zone.
Doing tricks like you're in a space circus.
Come on. Let's hear your license.
Well, now, sonny, I don't see how that's possible.
- Driving without a license? - Well, only temporarily.
I went off without it, see? I just retired back home...
...and now I'm on my way to visit my grandson George Jetson.
- Never mind that. - Just as you say, sonny.
And stop calling me "sonny. "
No need to shout, sonny. I ain't deaf.
I'm only 110 years old.
And you left your license behind, huh?
Like I said, guess I was mighty excited.
Won't happen again, sonny.
Mr. Sonny, I mean.
Look, you've got to understand something, old-timer.
Call me Montague. Sounds more friendly.
You have to do that?
Good for the circulation. You ought to try it!
There's nothing wrong with my circulation.
Didn't say there was. Come on, try it!
Come on! Come on!
If I let you go, old... I mean, Montague...
...you gotta promise me to take it easy.
- You're not as young as you were. - I got plenty of good years left.
Not the way you're driving, you haven't.
Well, we'll forget it this once. But remember, slow down.
- And no more kid tricks. - If you say so. Much obliged.
Always nice to stop and pass the time of day with strangers.
If you're ever around the Skypad Apartments in town, look me up.
Montague Jetson.
So long!
A hundred and ten and still acting like a man of 75.
Afternoon, ma'am. Having trouble?
Oh, it won't go.
I just don't know what's wrong.
- Well, ma'am, we'll soon find out. - Oh, you're terribly kind.
I guess you know all about all makes of cars.
Nope. Never saw one of these before in my life.
But the way I figure, you never know what you can do till you try.
Here's your trouble, ma'am.
It must've got sucked into the retransfrangrator.
Gesundheit, birdie.
Oh, I just don't know how to thank you, sir.
Forget it, ma'am. Allow me to introduce myself.
Montague Jetson. On my way to visit my grandson George...
- ... at the Skypad Apartments. - Oh, well, I'm Emily Scopes.
- Pleased to meet you, Mr. Jetson. - The pleasure's mutuaI.
And if you're ever in the neighborhood, be sure and drop in.
I will.
Mighty nice young girI.
Now, what did she say her name was?
Oh, well.
Well, Grandpa's rocking chair's all set up.
You wanna try it out, Elroy?
- You first, Pop. - Alrighty.
Contact!
Help!
Slow down!
- Hey, how do you stop this darn thing? - Hang on, Pop! Hang on!
I'll go pull out the plug.
Hi, dear. We're back.
So I see. And I'm bankrupt.
- Did you buy out the whole store? - Wanna see the hats we bought, Daddy?
- I can't wait. - This one's called "Moonscape. "
Isn't it lovely?
And how's this, Dad? "The Cosmonautress. "
Or here. "Venus Off the Face. "
"Venus Off the Face"?
Oh, I knew you'd like it.
Daddy, this one's called "The Nuclear Look. "
- How do you like them, dear? - Well, just answer me one question.
How come you're rushing Halloween this year?
Oh, Daddy! How old-fashioned can you get?
The whole idea is to look different.
You can relax, then. You sure do look different.
- George, what's this? - A rocking chair for Great-Grandpa.
Oh, that's nice.
George, shouldn't he have been here by now?
You know how old folks drive. He's probably puttering along...
...scared to go over 1000.
- Grandpa! - Grandpa Jetson!
Hi, kiddies! Hi, Judy, me darling!
Elroy, me boy!
Well, I'm here.
George, something tells me that rocking chair...
...isn't going to see much action.
Hi, Great-Grandpa. Have a nice nap?
Who was napping? I was having a snack.
- We just had lunch. - You call those little sandwiches lunch?
Not enough nourishment to keep a bird flying.
- What you doing, Judy? - The SwiveI. It's the latest.
You call that dancing? Watch this.
Flip on my antigravity button and...
Geronimo!
This is more like it.
Why, Great-Grandpa, you're good.
Your great-grandmother and I won the Moonball contest three years running.
We were good!
That's enough, Grandpa.
Why you stopping? I was just getting warmed up.
I just remembered, I have to go over to my girlfriend's.
Gosh!
What's the matter, young fellow? Why ain't you out playing?
- Nobody to play with. - Well, I like that. I'm here.
Oh, sure, Great-Grandpa. I just meant...
You meant somebody your own age, huh? Well, I'm available anyway.
- Now, what would you like to play? - Spaceball.
I've got to stay in shape for the Little Dipper League, you know?
- I play left sky for the Space Cubs. - Good for you, sonny!
Now, you go get your equipment, and I'll meet you outside.
Get set, Elroy.
Here comes my fast one!
Strike one!
Watch out for this one, Elroy.
It's my zigger-zagger.
- Where is it? - Look at your bat, sonny.
Okay, here comes an easy one.
It's gonna hit the window!
Relax, sonny!
You're out!
Now, promise you won't overdo it when we get to the bowling alley.
Oh, I'll take it easy, Georgie.
You know, bowling looks simple, but it takes a lot of skill.
If I do say so myself, I'm pretty good at it.
You watch me, Grandpa. I'll give you some pointers.
Mighty kind of you, Georgie.
"Milky Way Bowling Center. We never close. "
Looks like a fun place, Georgie.
I'll go first, Grandpa, so you can get the hang of it.
- Is that the way, Georgie? - Well...
It always takes a few frames to get the feeI of the alley.
And now it's your turn, Grandpa.
Hey! One at a time, Grandpa!
This way saves time.
- Three strikes! - Did I do it right, Georgie?
Honey, I tell you, there's no keeping up with the old boy.
Oh, George. It's all in the way you handle Grandpa.
Most of what he does is just showing off.
Well, certainly it is. You have to pretend to go along with him.
Humor him, and as soon as you do, I'll bet he'll slow right down...
- ... to where a man his age should be. - Wanna bet?
I'll do better than that.
Judy and I will go out sky skiing with him tomorrow.
Look! No hands!
No feet!
No teeth!
Ain't this fun, Janey?
That's the old zing! That's the old spirit!
How about that, Granddaughter? Like to try it?
- Get me off! - What say?
Help!
Ain't this fun?
No! I just want to go home!
What'll we do, George?
I don't think I'II last out Grandpa's visit.
- What's on your mind, Astro? - Hi, George.
Astro, will you cut that out?
Oh, George. You've hurt his feelings.
I'm sorry, Astro. I didn't mean anything.
Okay.
Hey, I got an idea.
How would you like to go for a nice walk in the park with Grandpa?
Like Grandpa.
That ought to keep them both busy.
"Department of Asteroids Recreation Area. "
That's for us, eh, Astro?
Right, Grandpa.
Go get it, boy. Fetch the stick.
Fetch the stick.
Here we go!
Right over that billboard!
Go get it, boy!
Good boy, Astro!
Howdy, sonny. I see you're a dog lover too.
- I should've known. Is this your stick? - Yep.
- This your dog? - Yep.
Do you know he hasn't got a license?
We'll have to take care of that right away. Anything else, sonny?
Yes. Please, stay off my beat.
I beg your pardon, but could you tell me what time it is, please?
You betcha, girlie.
When you hear the tone...
...the time will be 2: 14 and 30 seconds.
- Thank y'all. - Don't mention it.
- Mighty cute little fellow. - Thank you.
It's a girI. My, that's a very cute little old dog.
Thank you, miss. Say, "Howdy do," Astro.
Howdy do.
My name's Jetson, ma'am. Montague Jetson.
I'm Celeste Skyler. Hello, there.
Do you...? Oh, no, I guess you wouldn't.
- Wouldn't what? - Know a reliable babysitting service.
- But I guess you wouldn't. - Nope.
Been a good many years since I had the need of one.
You and your husband planning on going out tonight?
We've been planning to go away for a short trip.
Sort of a second honeymoon.
And you got nobody to leave the baby with.
Cheer up, little lady, you have now.
- Little old you? - Yep.
Little old me. Glad to do it.
I'll take her to my grandson's. She'II like it there.
Well, I don't know how to thank you.
Oh, no! Grandpa's really gone out of orbit.
That girI kissed him! Wait till I tell Mom!
- Judy, you must be mistaken. - I wasn't, Mother.
It was Great-Grandpa, all right.
Well, maybe he was just taking something out of her eye.
Mother! I know a kiss when I see one.
Oh, dear.
Doggone it, Astro. Know what? Went and forgot to get your license.
- Forgot my license? - Maybe I can get it over the phone.
- I'll call the License Bureau. - Okay.
Hello? License Bureau?
Is that Grandpa? Who could he be talking to?
But all I want is a license.
Five dollars? Now, that's a lot of money for just a license.
Worth it? Well, sure.
Okay. Color of hair: gray.
Weight: around 220 pounds.
I don't know. No, never bitten anybody.
Gentle as a lamb. Well, we're in kind of a hurry.
Oh, alrighty, I'll come on down.
Oh, that must be for the girI Judy saw Grandpa with.
Marrying again at his age. Oh, dear!
Somebody at the door.
- Yes? - Excuse me.
Is this where Mr. Montague Jetson is staying?
Yes. I'm his granddaughter-in-law. Won't you come in?
Oh, dear. You're the one!
- Oh, he told you about me? - Well, sort of.
- I heard a description of you. - Oh, not very flattering, was it?
Oh, it was. Except, well...
...anybody could tell you don't bite just to look at you.
- Bite? Me? - Well, I mean, he said you were gentle.
He did? Nice of him.
You haven't known Grandpa long, have you?
Nope. Just met the one time.
- One time and he's...? - He's what?
He's out. He went for the license.
Oh, well, tell him I came by.
If he wants, he can get in touch with me at the Galaxy HoteI.
- Get in touch? - Goodbye, my dear.
Oh, dear.
I'll get it, Mother. Probably for me.
Hello there. Is Mr. Jetson...
...Montague Jetson in?
Not right now. You!
Me?
You're the one he was with in the park.
Oh, yes. Now, look, honey, would you give him a message?
Tell him Celeste called, and I've changed my mind.
I've decided to take the baby with us on the honeymoon.
Can you remember that? And thank him for me, hear?
Take the baby on the honeym...? Honeymoon?
Baby? Mother!
Baby?
She didn't tell me anything about a baby.
- Did you talk to her too? - Well, she came by. Oh, dear.
Mom. The baby...
Why, it would be my step-great-aunt, wouldn't it?
- Well, I guess it would, Judy. - Oh, no!
Well, finally got the dog licensed. Now to get home and...
The baby. Supposed to pick it up.
Darn near forgot. Must be getting old in my old age.
Yep, this is it. Apartment A.
Anybody home?
Oh, good. That must be the man for the luggage.
It's right in the living room by the couch.
Now, be carefuI with it, please.
What's she think I'm gonna do with it, play spaceball?
Hi, there, young lady. Remember me?
Momma's ready, baby. Let's go now.
My baby! My baby's gone!
Help! Police!
Well, we'll have you in a nice, comfy bed...
...in two shakes of a rocket's taiI, young lady.
Just like all females. Always in a hurry.
Okay, I'll step on it.
Pull over, you. What's the rush, buddy? And don't tell me...
Oh, no. Not you again.
Afraid so, sonny. Say hello to the nice policeman, Egbert.
That's not really her name, but we wasn't even formally introduced.
Don't tell me that's your baby.
Nope. Might say I'm sort of babysitting.
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't run you in.
Her. Unless you got babysitting facilities in your jaiI.
I ought to... For 2 cents I'd...
If I ever catch you...
Get out of here before I go nuts!
Yes, sir. Nice seeing you again, sonny.
I could be worse off.
He could've been my grandfather.
Attention! Attention! All prowl rockets and sky precincts:
Be on the lookout for a year-old female baby...
...taken from her home in the Moonglow Terrace Apartments.
- That is all. - Baby? Baby!
Montague!
But, Grandpa, where's the mother?
- Off on her second honeymoon by now. - Without you?
Now that you mention it, I was hoping she'd ask me along.
- Would've been fun. - Fun?
Grandpa Jetson, how can one person go alone on a honeymoon?
Oh, she ain't alone, Janey. Her husband's with her.
- Her husband? - Husband? Well, isn't that you?
Me?
Afraid my marrying days are behind me.
Yeah, but then what about the baby?
Oh, Egbert? Oh, didn't I tell you?
- No! - Oh, must've forgot.
I'm babysitting so's the little lady can go on her second honeymoon.
But I heard you calling up about a license.
Sure. For Astro.
- Oh, gosh. - What now?
That lady who called up, Great-Grandpa, she had a message for you.
Said she was gonna take the baby with her.
Oh, she did, eh? Guess we got our signals crossed.
I'll get it.
Hi there, Mr. Jetson. Finally found you at home.
Well, now, nice to see you again, Mrs...
- Mrs... - Scope.
Emily Scope. Passing by, so I thought I'd try again.
ReaI pleased you did.
- There's your baby. - My baby?
I haven't got any baby.
- She's not the one, Mother. - She isn't?
- Oh, George. - Well, whose baby is it?
And just who is it you're getting married to?
Told you, nobody. Whoever said I was?
Oh, there's my precious baby.
Caught you red-handed, old-timer. Let's go.
- Hey, wait a minute! - Leave my great-grandpa alone!
What's going on?
If everybody will just simmer down, I'll explain everything.
But, Grandpa, why didn't you tell us what was going on?
Yeah. We thought you were gonna get married.
Young fellow, I had 82 wonderfuI years with your grandmother.
Rest her souI. And I ain't about to try to improve on that.
Well, how were we to know?
I was wrong, flying around without telling you.
Didn't mean to upset you folks.
Guess it's because I'm getting on in years. Getting set in my ways.
Not used to listening to advice or...
Well, I'm reaI sorry for causing you so much trouble.
Oh, Grandpa. We were just worried about you.
- Yeah, that's right, Grandpa. - And you ain't mad at me?
How could we be, Grandpa? We love you.
Tell you one thing, for the rest of my visit, I'll be as good as gold.
Give us a call when you get home, Grandpa.
- And drive carefully. - Don't you worry about me, folks.
I've learned my lesson. And thanks for a wonderfuI time.
Goodbye, Great-Grandpa! Bye!
Hi, sonny. Anything wrong?
Just checking. Are you sure you're on your way back home, old-timer?
Yep. Sure enjoyed my visit too.
Wanna thank you for all your neighborly help.
Don't mention it, Grandpa.
Attention all sky patrols.
Be on the lookout for an elderly gentleman...
...whizzing along in a white sport job.
Do not, repeat, do not stop him.
Not if you know what's good for you, that is.
Sure is a cute old guy.
Help! Help!
Jane, stop this crazy thing!
Jane!
Help! Jane!
