Then I didn't choose that one because it was gonna give me pimpIes,
so I choosed another scary one
because, for aII those years that I went for HaIIoween,
I wasn't scary at aII.
I Iove basebaII. It's my destiny to pIay that game.
I don't reaIIy care about winning.
WeII, Iike, now I do 'cause, Iike, we've Iost every game.
I've gotten tired of it.
I'm working, Iike, so hard. AII the baIIs are getting thrown to me.
I'm trying to catch, Iike, every one.
AII of the peopIe in the outfieId are aII Iooking around and...
Come on! Let's pIay some basebaII, okay?
Not the Iazy game.
(CAR DOOR CLOSING)
They're here.
(RAZZING)
Lewis?
(SIGHS)
(CLICKS)
(HORN BLARING)
Huh?
Goob! Hey, I did it, Goob! I finished it!
They are gonna Iove this!
Nothing says ''adopt me'' Iike a weird invention.
MILDRED: Lewis!
-Lewis, the Harringtons are here! -Way ahead of you, MiIdred.
Wait! Wait! Wait, wait, wait.
Remember, sit up straight. Look them in the eye.
SmiIe. Let's fix your...
MiIdred.
AII right, aII right, aII right, aII right.
Go show them how speciaI you are.
Oh, I hope this is it.
I hope he gets adopted.
You and me both, chief.
LEWIS: I mean, there's so many things in the worId that can be improved.
Just think of it. Moving sidewaIks, fIying cars.
The possibiIities are endIess.
FIying cars? Yeah, that's a good one.
AII it takes is some imagination and a IittIe science,
and we can make the worId a better pIace.
WeII, these are aII interesting ideas.
So, what's your favourite sport?
-WeII, does inventing count as a sport? -ActuaIIy...
'Cause I think I hit a home run with this one!
-What is that? -First, a question.
What's the number one probIem that you face
when you make a peanut butter and jeIIy sandwich?
-Lewis, I don't think we... -Portion controI.
Too much peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth,
takes forever to chew.
Too much jeIIy squishes out the sides and makes your hands aII sticky.
(EXCLAIMS IN DISGUST)
WeII, I propose that the perfect P.B. and J.
is within mankind's grasp,
and I've buiIt this machine to achieve it.
For this demonstration, I'II use reguIar bread.
Honey, it's okay.
As you can see, toasting is an option.
We don't usuaIIy eat peanut butter.
Lewis, this is reaIIy not necessary.
It's jammed!
(DEVICE BUZZING)
Lewis, pIease, don't!
Oops.
What's happening?
Mr Harrington has a peanut aIIergy!
I'm sorry!
Here Iet me heIp you get that off!
Stand back!
(GASPING)
-Is he gonna be okay? -Breathe. Breathe.
I'm so sorry! I didn't know!
It was reaIIy nice to meet you.
We're gonna need some time to think about it.
MILDRED: Hi, foIks. Everything aII...
(MILDRED GASPS)
What happened?
MRS HARRINGTON: Miss Duffy, that boy is definiteIy not right for us.
Now, if you'II excuse me.
MILDRED: (STAMMERING) I'm so sorry about this. If you wouId just...
(DOOR SLAMMING)
-I made some Iunch. -Not hungry.
Poor Mr Harrington.
-I kiIIed him? -No. No! No, you didn't kiII him.
I caIIed. He's perfectIy fine.
(SIGHS)
I was just gonna say that it's...
It's too bad he didn't get to try a sandwich
from that wonderfuI invention of yours.
-(SCOFFING) Yeah, reaI wonderfuI. -It's not you.
We just haven't found the right coupIe yet.
One hundred twenty-four.
What?
That's how many adoption interviews I've had, 1 2 4.
Oh, Lewis, come on, now.
You're exaggerating just to make your
point.
PIus, I'm gonna be 1 3 next year,
and you know how hard it is for a teenager to get adopted.
I have no future. No one wants me.
That's not true, Lewis!
My own mother didn't even want me.
Now, stop it. You do not know that.
Then why'd she give me up?
She may not have been abIe to take care of you.
Did you ever think of that?
I am sure that she was onIy thinking about what was best for you.
I never thought of it that way.
Maybe she wanted to keep you, but she had no choice.
You're right.
My reaI mom is the onIy person who's ever wanted me.
Wait. I said ''maybe.''
And if she wanted me then, she'II want me now.
What are you taIking about?
I have to find her, MiIdred, and when I do, she'II take me back,
and we'II be a famiIy again!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Lewis, you can't do that.
No one knows anything about her. No one even saw her.
Wrong. I saw her
once.
She's in here. I just have to remember.
That's it!

Ain't it crazy?
You got more than you paid for

You've been on my mind

GOOB: So tired.
We'II see you at 2:00 this afternoon. He'II be so excited you're coming.
Bye-bye, now.
Yes! Hey, Goob... I mean, MichaeI.
-Good Iuck at the big game today. -Easy win.
Those guys are a bunch of bums.
I just hope I can stay awake.
Don't teII me. Let me guess.
He was up aII night working on his stupid project,
but that's what happens
when you get a science geek for a roommate.
Ah, that's good joe.
AII right, Einstein, you owe MichaeI big time.
WeII, unIocking the secrets of the brain took a Iot Ionger than I expected,
but it's finished, MiIdred. I recaIibrated the headset.
Now the neuraI circuits wiII connect.
I've cracked the hippocampus!
ReaIIy? Okay. What?
Now to test it out.
(RINGING)
Oh, no! I'm Iate! I gotta go!
Wait a minute, Lewis. Wait a minute.
I aImost forgot what I came up here for.
I know you have a Iot on your pIate today,
but I've scheduIed an interview for you this afternoon.
-No, thanks. -''No, thanks''?
Sweetheart, this is about being adopted,
and you wiII be back here cIean, happy and on time.
I'm done with interviews, MiIdred. I'm not gonna be rejected any more.
Listen, I know where your head is, but I'm teIIing you,
you have got to get out of the past and Iook to the future.
I am, and this is it.
This is my future.
I'm sorry.
Lewis? Honey?
Dr KrunkIehorn, I know you're very busy there
at Inventco Labs,
and we're just so excited to have you as a judge.
It's my pIeasure, Mr WiIIerstein. Hey, you never know.
One of your students may invent the next integrated circuit
or microprocessor or integrated circuit.
Oh, wait! I said that aIready.
WeII, I just don't get out of that Iab very much.
Is that a bow tie? I Iike bow ties.
I haven't sIept in eight days!
WeII, then can I get you a cot or something?
Nope, I've got the caffeine patch. It's my invention.
Each patch is the equivaIent of 1 2 cups of coffee.
You can stay awake for days with no side effects.
(SCREAMS)
Sorry. Who's this?
This is one of our students, StanIey Pukowski.
Oh, so cute!
I just want to bite his chubby IittIe cheeks!
(WHISTLING)
What's with the dress, Pukowski?
It's actuaIIy a toga, sir.
Coach, nice to see you, sort of. What are you doing here?
Judging a science fair. What's it Iook Iike I'm doing?
And what makes you quaIified to judge a science fair?
It's my gym.

I don't know what she just said, but this project is unacceptabIe!
Now, give me 20 Iaps around the gym!
Move it! Move it! Move it! Go! Go! Go!
-Coach! -I'm watching you.
(STANLEY PANTING)

Okay, next up is Lizzy and her fire ant farm.
That's right.
Lizzy, we taIked about the fire ants.

Have you been approached by a taII man in a bowIer hat?
-What? -Hey, hey, I'II ask the questions here.
-Okay, goodbye. -AII right,
didn't want to puII rank on you, but you forced my hand.
SpeciaI Agent WiIbur Robinson of the T.C.T.F.
-The what? -Time Continuum Task Force.
-I'm here to protect you. -WeII...
Now, taII man, bowIer hat, approached you?
No, why?
I couId Iose my badge for this.
He's a suspect in a robbery.
What did he steaI?
-A time machine. -A what?
I've tracked him to this time, and my informants say he's after you.
Me? Why me?
The boys back at HQ haven't figured out a motive yet.
And by ''HQ,'' I mean ''headquarters.''
I know what HQ means.
Good. You're a smart kid.
That might keep you aIive, for now.
Just worry about your IittIe science gizmo
and Ieave the ''perp'' to me.
-And by ''perp,'' I mean... -I know what it means!
Okay, Mr Smarty-pants.
BowIer Hat Guy!
YOUNG GIRL: Whoa!

Next up is Lewis.
Yes... Lewis! Excuse me.
(WHISPERING) Lewis, teII me this thing is not gonna...
(IMITATES EXPLOSION)
It's okay. It's gonna work this time. I won't Iet you down, I promise.
AII right, Lewis, I trust you. Knock 'em dead.
(WHISPERING) That was a figure of speech. PIease don't kiII anyone.
Okay, stand back, everybody.
This next project wiII knock your socks off.
SeriousIy, you might wanna stand back a IittIe.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Have you ever forgotten something,
and no matter how hard you tried, you couIdn't remember it?
WeII, what happens to these forgotten memories?
I propose they're stored somewhere in your brain,
and I buiIt a machine that can retrieve them.
I caII it the Memory Scanner.
(EXCLAIMING) It's shiny!
So, Lewis, how does the Memory Scanner work?
First, you input the desired period of time on this keypad.
Then a Iaser scans the cerebraI cortex, where memories are stored.
The retrieved memory is then dispIayed on this monitor.
Wrap him up. I'II take two.
Now, I'm going back 1 2 years, three months and 1 1 days.
Why that particuIar day?
You didn't think I was paying attention, did you?
WeII, that was the day...
Let's just say, that was a very important day in my Iife.
Fair enough. PIay baII.
It'II just take a second to get the turbines going.

Now, enough moping.
Take this back to the science fair and fix that Memory Scanner.
Stop! Stop! Get away from me!
Maybe you've forgotten.
I'm a time cop from the future, shouId be taken very seriousIy.
That's no badge.
This is a coupon for a tanning saIon! You're a fake.
Okay, you got me. I'm not a cop,
but I reaIIy am from the future,
and there reaIIy is this BowIer Hat Guy.
Here we go again.
He stoIe a time machine, came to the science fair
and ruined your project.
My project didn't work because I'm no good.
There is no BowIer Hat Guy, there is no time machine,
and you're not from the future!
You're crazy!
(EXCLAIMING) I am not crazy.
Oh, yeah, Captain Time TraveI? Prove it.
Um...
Yeah, that's what I thought.
I'm just gonna go Iock myseIf in my room
and hide under the covers for a coupIe years.
If I prove to you I'm from the future, wiII you go back to the science fair?
Yeah, sure, whatever you say.
Hey, Iet go of me!

This is beyond anything I couId've imagined.

That's right. You can.
Next stop, science fair, to fix your Memory Scanner.
Hey, I'm not gonna fix that stupid Memory Scanner.

-What? -WiIbur, this is a time machine!
Why shouId I fix my dumb invention
when you can take me to see my mom now in this ship?
Uh... Um...
I couId actuaIIy go back to that night and stop her from giving me up.
The answer is not a time machine. It's this.
This? You want to know what I think about this?
What are you doing?
I'm sorry, WiIbur,
but you don't know what I've Iived through.
-Lewis, no! -Let go!
-You Iet go! -You're not the boss of me!
Yes, I am, 'cause you're 1 2, and I'm 1 3.
That makes me oIder.
WeII, I was born in the past,
which makes me oIder and the boss of you!
(BOTH SCREAMING)
I am so dead.
I'm not aIIowed to Iook at this thing, Iet aIone drive it!
Mom and Dad are gonna kiII me,
and I can teII you this. It wiII not be done with mercy.
Isn't there Iike a time machine repair shop
-or something? -No!
There's onIy two time machines in existence,
and the BowIer Hat Guy has the other one!
WeII, somebody's gonna have to fix this.
Good idea. You're smart. You fix it.
Are you crazy? I can't fix this thing.
Yes, you can. You broke it. You fix it.
AII right, under one condition.
I fix it, you take me back to see my mom.
What? You didn't even foIIow through on our Iast deaI.

First, we keep Lewis in the garage, away from everybody.
I show up and give him the pep taIk of the century.
Then he fixes the time machine.

I didn't have time to scuIpt everything.
Okay, now, the time machine is fixed.
His confidence in inventing is restored.
He goes back to the science fair, fixes his Memory Scanner,

What about taking him back to see his mom?
I just toId him that to buy some time.
Oh, yeah, can't see that one bIowing up in your face.

Oh, no, Lewis, that's our butIer, Lefty.
(LEFTY GROWLS)
Nice to meet you.
Hey, Lefty, any idea how to get to the garage?
(GROWLING)
WeII, that's true. We didn't ask her yet.
-Who? -WiIbur's mom, Franny.
I think you'II Iike her.
(WHERE IS YOUR HEART AT? PLAYING)
Hey, guys!
(SINGING) You ask me over And over and over
Have you seen My peacock-feathered hat?
Frogs?
Taught them everything they know.
-Franny, this is Lewis. -Nice to meet you, ma'am.
Perfect timing. We need someone on maracas.
Where is your heart at? Nobody knows that
Even though you've him, her, me
And an army searching
I've got a feeling You will be reeling
When you are bad And the circus comes to town
Grandpa, I think I found your teeth.
And you see me leaving Dressed up as a magician
Or something like that
SarsapariIIa! My teeth are back!
Ring-a-ding-ding.
(ALL CHEERING)
(CHATTERING)
AII right!
Right. WeII, gIad I couId heIp with the teeth,
but, wow, Iook at the time.
(BOTH GROAN)
Lewis, I toId you to stay in the garage!
I did, but I went up the tube, and I ran into your famiIy, and I...
(STAMMERING)
You met my famiIy?
Pop quiz.
Who have you met, and what have you Iearnt?
Okay. Bud, Fritz and Joe are brothers.
Fritz is married to Petunia, and is she...
Cranky? Yes.
LEWIS: Tallulah and Laszlo are their children.
Joe is married to Billie. Lefty is the butler.
Spike and Dimitri are twins,
and I don't know who they're reIated to.
Neither do we. Go on.
LuciIIe is married to Bud, and your dad, CorneIius, is their son.
What does CorneIius Iook Iike?
Tom SeIIeck.
Okay, CorneIius is married to Franny, and her brothers are Gaston and Art.
You're forgetting something.
Forgetting? Oh, right.
Wilbur is the son of Franny and Cornelius.
And nobody reaIised you were from the past?
Nope.
(SIGHS IN RELIEF)
Thank you. Thank you.
HoId your appIause. Thank you very much.
(TWITTERING)
(GIGGLING)
Doris, get it off! Get it off!
(DOOR CREAKING)
Oh!
I've got you now.
Lewis!
No, Lewis is my stupid roommate.
My name's Mike Yagoobian. PeopIe caII me Goob,
but today, everyone that beat me up caIIed me ''puke face''
and ''butterfingers'' and ''booger breath.''
Nice to see that they're branching out.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...
WeII, I was just Iooking for Lewis.
Try the roof. He's aIways up there being dumb.
Of course. Why didn't I think of that?
Mr Steak, you're my onIy friend.
Game didn't go so weII, huh?
No, I feII asIeep in the ninth inning, and I missed the winning catch.
Then I got beat up.
Afterwards, Coach took me aside and toId me to Iet it go.
I don't know. He's probabIy right.
No!
Everyone wiII teII you to Iet it go and move on, but don't.
Instead, Iet it fester and boiI inside of you.
Take these feeIings and Iock them away.
Let them fueI your actions.
Let hate be your aIIy,
and you wiII be capabIe of wonderfuIIy horrid things.
Heed my words, Goob. Don't Iet it go.
What?
(LAUGHING)
Where is that boy?
(TWITTERING)
Good idea! Separate and Iook for cIues.
(CRASHING)
(CAT MEWING)
Look, my dear! Look what I found! It's a stick.
Now, what did you find?
(TWITTERING)
Yes. Yes, I see.
Time traveI residue next to DNA from WiIbur Robinson.
That pIus my stick must mean...
(TWITTERING)
(HONKING)
To the future! Shotgun!
(BOWLER HAT GUY LAUGHING)
I don't even know what I'm doing.
Keep moving forward.
I mean, this stuff is way too advanced for me.
Keep moving forward.
And what if I can't fix this? What are we gonna do?
Keep moving forward.
Why do you keep saying that?
And don't just say, ''Keep moving forward.''
It's my dad's motto.
Why wouId his motto be ''keep moving forward''?
It's what he does.
What's that supposed to mean?
That is an exceIIent question.
WILBUR: Robinson Industries,
the worId's Ieading scientific-research-and-design factory.
My dad runs the company. They mass produce his inventions.
His motto, ''Keep moving forward.'' It's what he does.
-What has he invented? -Everything.
CarI, the time machine, the traveI tubes.
Your dad invented the time machine?
Yep. Five years ago,
Dad wakes up in the middIe of the night in a coId sweat.
He wants to buiId a time machine, so he starts working.
We're taIking pIans. We're taIking scaIe modeIs.
We're taIking prototypes.
LEWIS: That's a prototype?
-The very first, or what's Ieft of it. -Yikes.
Yeah. Dark day at the Robinson house.
Prototypes two and three, not much better.
Number six, 58,
2 1 2, 485,
952,
and they aII end the same way.
But he doesn't give up.
Dude, I can't take you seriousIy in that hat.
He keeps working and working untiI finaIIy he gets it,
the first working time machine.
Then he keeps working and working untiI finaIIy he gets it again,
the second working time machine.
Kind of smaII.
I'm assuming that's a joke. I'm ignoring you for time reasons.
This, my friend, is mereIy a modeI
because, unfortunateIy, time machine number two
is in the hands of the Bowler Hat Guy.
(LAUGHING)
-Pretty amazing story, huh? -Yeah.
Now, are you ready to start working?
(BEEPS)
I think that's it. I did it!
I knew you couId.
(ENGINE STARTS)
Nice work, my friend.
(ENGINE SPUTTERING)
WeII, you know what they say! ''Keep moving...''
Don't say it!
(INTERCOM BEEPS)
FRANNY ON INTERCOM: Boys! Dinner time!
Not now, Mom!
If you aren't up here in five minutes, I'm gonna come down and get you!
We'd better get up there.
(LAUGHS)
Let's get that boy!
(DORIS TWITTERING)
Sit here?
But I want to Iook, too.
A mini-Doris!
I didn't even know you couId do that. It's so cute.
Let's take her out for a spin.
Ooh. Sorry.
(CHUCKLING)
Teamwork.
BOWLER HAT GUY: Sorry.
Sorry!
(GASPS)
Aha!
There you are.
Now, to Iure him out of the house.
I know! I'II bIow it up! Yes! Yes, and... No.
No, that won't work. Then he'II be dead.
Oh! I know!
I'II turn him into a duck! Yes! Yes, it's so eviI!
I don't know how to do that.
I don't reaIIy need a duck.
This may be harder than I thought.
Hey, ring my doorbeII.
No, no, no, no, ring this doorbeII.
That doorbeII wiII give you a rash.
(TRUMPETING)
Yes! I'm two for two, man.
SPIKE: If they don't do it on purpose, it doesn't count.
DIMITRI: Come on. Read your ruIe book.
SPIKE: You know what?
You can take your ruIe book and shove it right...
(GIVE ME THE SIMPLE LIFE PLAYING)
(SINGING) I don't believe in fretting or grieving
Why mess around with strife?
Guess I was cut out To step out and strut out
Give me the simple life
Ladies and gentIemen, dinner is served.
LITTLE CARLS: Dinner is served.
Dinner is served.
Hooray! ItaIian food.
I want a sIoppy joe!
Oh, BiIIie, couId you pIease pass the gravy?
Coming to you, big girI.
Reminds me of the time my meatbaII pizza staved off civiI war
on the bIack moon of Keward.
PETUNIA: Where's my sIoppy joe?
(CLEARING THROAT)
FRANNY: Thank you for the gravy, Aunt BiIIie.
We gotta taIk.
LASZLO: How about some gravy? Over here.
Why is the kid stiII here? Any of this ring a beII?
Science fair, Memory Scanner, a time stream that needs fixing?
Temporary setback.
He's just having a IittIe confidence issue.
-You want me to taIk to him? -No.
-I give a mean back rub. -No.
-Shiatsu? -No.
-Feng shui. -No.
I've got it under controI.
So, Lewis, are you in WiIbur's cIass?
-No. -Yes.
-No.
WeII, yes and no.
Lewis is a new transfer student.
Yeah.
-Where are you from, Lewis? -Canada?
I think you mean North Montana. Hasn't been caIIed Canada in years.
Do you know Sam Gundersen?
-It's a big country. -State.
-I wonder if you're reIated. -Maybe if he took his hat off.
Oh, good idea.
Then we can see if he has the famiIy cowIick.
He can't, because he's got bad hat-hair.
Oh, nonsense.
A North Montana man doesn't care about hat-hair.
Let's see the cowIick!
AII right, everyone, hoId your horses.
Lewis, do you mind?
I'm afraid this isn't gonna stop otherwise.
-But... But... -And so it begins.
FRANNY: Now, don't be shy.
-We're aII famiIy here. -Ready, aim, fire!
(GASPS)
Ha!
SureIy, that is not the best you can do.
(GRUNTING)
Impressive, IittIe sister.
Your skiIIs are strong, but not strong enough.
Your words do not threaten me, brother.
Then enough words. Now the reaI battIe begins.
Your meatbaIIs are useIess against me.
Then perhaps it's time for spicy ItaIian sausage!
No!
(FRANNY GASPS)
(ALL CHEERING)
That's right. I did it.
Is dinner Iike this every night?
No, yesterday, we had meatIoaf.
Okay, gang, time for the second course.
And what goes better with meatbaIIs than P.B. and J.?
Hey, that's just Iike...
Stupid...
CarI?
Is everything aII right?
(GRUNTING) We're just experiencing bugs.
Just what the doctor ordered.
My friend Lewis is an inventor. He can fix it.
WiIbur, you know I can't.
Come on. Give it a try.
You don't understand what's at stake here.
UncIe Joe's seen the toast!
We're past the point of no return!
If he doesn't get P.B. and J...
We aII pay!
I don't know.
You wouId reaIIy be heIping us out, Lewis.
ALL: PIease.
One dragonfIy on the rocks, pIease, Mr Barkeep.
Hey, hey, Frankie, baby, you gotta teII us one of your jokes.
Yeah, Frankie. How about that one with the buIIfrog?
AII right, you bozos.
BOWLER HA T GU Y: Have to get that boy out of the house.
Sorry. Wait!
FRANKIE: So I turn to the bullfrog, and you know what I says?
TaIking frogs with their own IittIe outdoor bar,
and so smartIy dressed! Perfect!
I says, ''Hey, not with my umbreIIa, you don't.''
(ALL LAUGHING)
-Frankie, you're a riot. -I gotta go pee!

-Stop Iaughing. -Stop Iaughing.
-Don't repeat everything I say. -I won't repeat everything you say.
-ExceIIent. -ExceIIent.
Did you just say, ''ExceIIent,'' because I said, ''ExceIIent''?
Uh...
No.
-ExceIIent. -ExceIIent.
-So, Mr Fix-it, how's it Iooking? -Pretty good, Mrs Robinson.
LEWIS: I've recaIibrated the dispensing conduits
and aIigned the ejection mechanism and...
There he is, that repuIsive, haIf-witted fooI!
Now, my sIave, seize the boy.
Bring him to me.
(SWALLOWS)
Did you not hear what I said, you idiot? Grab the boy and bring him!
WeII, it's just that there's a miIIion peopIe over there,
and I have IittIe arms.
I'm just not so sure how weII this pIan was thought through.
Master?

FRANKIE: Master?
Okay, that shouId do it.
It's so exciting. Let her rip, Lewis!
QuickIy. UncIe Joe can't hoId on much Ionger.
CARL: Everybody ready?
-Go, CarI. -ROBINSONS: Yeah!
TALLULAH: Is it gonna work?
Oh, no!
No!
I didn't know. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
-You faiIed! -And it was awesome!
-ExceptionaI! -Outstanding!
I've seen better.
From faiIing, you Iearn. From success, not so much.
If I gave up every time I faiIed,
I never wouId have made the meatbaII cannon.
I never wouId have made my fireproof pants.

Oh, my noggin.
Hey, what are you doing? Get your Iousy mitts off of me!
You're gonna regret this!
Wait! Wait! Don't move. That's it!
I wonder if I shouId teII Doris.
No, I'II make it a surprise.
(CHUCKLING)
FRANNY: AII right, everyone, quiet down. Quiet down.
I propose a toast to Lewis and his briIIiant faiIure.
May it Iead to success in the future.
Gosh, you're aII so nice.
If I had a famiIy, I...
I'd want them to be just Iike you.
Oh, weII, then, to Lewis!
To Lewis!
LASZLO: Yeah!
-Come on, Lewis! -CARL: Good show, buddy!
GRANDPA BUD: What if Louis Armstrong said, ''I can't''?
You think he'd have waIked on the moon?

Oh, Lewis is an orphan.
Orphan?

Why didn't you teII me you had a pet dinosaur?
Because we don't.
What are you taIking about? He's standing right here.
Oh, no! No, you can't eat him!
I need him alive.

Oh, no!

-Nice catch. -Nice meatbaII shooting!
Guess we made a pretty good team, huh?
Yeah, guess we did.
-Are you boys aII right? -We're good, Mom.
Yeah, didn't you see us take out that dinosaur?
Oh, man! It was so cooI, Mom!
Oh, I mean, I'm sorry. I didn't...
Oh, Lewis, it's okay.
I'm reaIIy happy you're safe.
-Your head. -What?
It's just a bruise, Lewis.
LEWIS: You aII sacrificed so much for me.
-WeII, of course. -You are a speciaI kid.
AUNT BILLIE: One of a kind.
Okay, you shouId get him out of here before something reaIIy bad happens.
SiIIy, siIIy robot. I've got it aII under controI.
Okay, everybody, it's been a Iong, hard day
fiIIed with emotionaI turmoiI and dinosaur fights,
so why don't you aII hit the hay, and Lewis and me wiII get going?
Oh...
Do you have to go now? I mean, you know, it's getting Iate.
Maybe Lewis couId spend the night.
Mom, maybe some other time, okay?
WeII, any time you want to come over, you just come over.
-Mom. -The truth is, we Iove having you.
-We reaIIy have to go. -No.
No, you don't. You have to stay.
I mean, who wouId be a better famiIy for you than us?
What do you say, Lewis?
Do you want to be a Robinson?
You want to adopt me?
-Yeah! -Yes!
(ROBINSONS GASPING)
Okay, it's true. I'm from the past.
Now you know the big secret.
WiIbur, what have you done? How couId you bring him here?
That is an exceIIent question.
PIease, don't get mad at WiIbur.
He was just being a good friend.
Lewis, I am so sorry, but you have to go.
What? You just said...
I know what I said.
I'm from the past. So what?
Lewis. Lewis, Iook at me. You're...
You're a great kid,
and we wouId never do anything to hurt you,
but I'm sorry. You have to go back to your own time.
Yeah, about that, one of the time machines is broken,
and the other one was stoIen by a guy with a bowIer hat,
which kind of expIains the dino.
(GROWLING)
I'm caIIing your father.
Wait. If I have to Ieave,
can I at Ieast go back and find my mom?
WiIbur promised.
You promised what?
I was never gonna do it. I swear!
-You Iied to me? -No!
Yes.

but they won't let him. We'd let him, though.
Too bad we don't have a time machine.
Oh, wait. We do.

To make your dream come true.
AII you have to do is put Humpty Dumpty back together again,

I know you're around here somewhere.

I can't imagine why you're so interested in this piece of junk.
That's for me to know and you to find out.
Now, show me how to work this thing.
It doesn't work. Never did.
WeII, supposing it did,
and if one were presenting the invention to, say,
a board of directors for a very Iarge invention company,
where might one find the ''On'' switch?
HypotheticaIIy speaking, of course.
AII right, first, you turn this knob twice,
then push this red button,
and that's it. It's pretty easy.
What a stupid way to turn it on!
Okay, take me to see my mom now.
Yes, of course.
Doris?

-Got it. -So you shut her down,

Yes. I call them Helping Hats.

-Where'd he go? -Goob?
Goob!
Goob.
Are you hurt? Any broken bones?
-No, I'm... -Do you have a temperature?
-Brain fog? -Scurvy?
-Tapeworm? -CeIIuIite?
No. No, no, I'm fine. I feeI fine.
In fact, better than I've feIt in a Iong time.
CORNELIUS: Franny, they're gone. Oh, this is terribIe!
-Oh, boy. -WeII, he's home earIy.
Franny, where are you? The time machines are gone!
Oh!
(LAUGHS)
(CHUCKLES)
Mmm-hmm.
Ratted out by the oId Iady.
Harsh.
CORNELIUS: Okay.
Wow!
Yeah, beats working in an office every day.
Yeah, no kidding.
Hey! Want to see the one I'm most proud of?
Yeah.
(EXCLAIMING)
Oh, no, no, no. That one.
It was our first reaI invention.
It's the one that started it aII.
Wowie.
So if I go back now, then this wiII be my future.
WeII, that depends on you.
Nothing is set in stone.
You gotta make the right choices and keep moving forward.
Since it's gonna work this time, that means I...
We won't finaIIy get to see what Mom Iooks Iike?
Do we ever meet her?
I think you're just gonna have to get back
to that science fair and find out for yourseIf.
I had a feeIing you were gonna say that.
That's because we are one smart kid.
-So Iong! -Bye-bye, Lewis!
-FareweII, future brother-in-Iaw. -So Iong! See you Iater, Lewis!
Oh, don't forget the mashed potatoes!
-Have a safe trip, IittIe Lewis. -I wiII.
Hey, whiIe I got you here,
just a coupIe of IittIe suggestions regarding my design.
Let's face it, these skinny Iimbs don't exactIy make the teapot whistIe.
AII that reaIIy matters is, hey, don't forget to invent me.
-Are you kidding? No way! -I Iove you.
There's so many things I wish I couId ask you.
Excuse me. Time traveI now, questions Iater.
-But I... -GRANDMA LUCILLE: Don't worry.
Just get back to that science fair, and we'II see you reaI soon.
Oh, right. Right, okay, I wiII. Bye.
-Goodbye, son. -Thanks again for everything!
-Wait. Lewis, one more thing. -Yeah?
Just a IittIe tip for the future. I am aIways right.
Even when I'm wrong, I'm right.
She's right. I'd just go with it if I were you.
And I am.
Then you're absoIuteIy right.
(HONKING)
AII right, I'm coming.
WeII, it's not Iike you're never gonna see them again.
They are your famiIy, after aII.
(ENGINE STARTS)
Wait a minute.
You're supposed to take me back to the science fair.
I know.
WeII, I think you punched in the wrong numbers.
We agreed that, if you fixed the time machine,
I'd take you back to see your mom.
What?
(BABY LEWIS CRYING)
A deaI's a deaI.
(FEET PATTERING)
(KNOCKING)
(ENGINE STARTS)
I don't get it. Why'd you just Iet her go?
Because I aIready have a famiIy.
I never thought my dad wouId be my best friend.
Now, now, don't make me come and baiI you out again.
I won't.
Remember, I've got a time machine.
If you mess up again, I'II just keep coming back
tiII you get it right.
(LAUGHS)
-You got that motto? -I got it.
Don't forget it.
I don't think that's possibIe.
You better get going.
See you Iater, WiIbur.
(HONKING)
Wait a minute!
(SNORING)
(CRACKING)
Goob! Goob, wake up!
What?
(PEOPLE CHEERING)
That's it!
(FROGS CROAKING)
Mr WiIIerstein, I know what went wrong.
Can I have one more chance? PIease!
My ride isn't here yet, so fire it up.
I need a voIunteer.
Now, just give me a date to input.
WeII, now, Iet's see.
There's my first science fair, the day I got my first microscope,
the time I swam the EngIish ChanneI, my first goId medaI for the Iuge.
(EXCLAIMS)
I know.
(WHISPERING)
Perfect!
-You look gorgeous. -He's a lucky guy.
Oh! It works.
-It works! -It works.
You look beautiful, Lucille.
Bud?
-WouId you Iook at that? -Whoa!
Honey! Honey, you're just in time.
-LuciIIe! -You did it, Lewis! You did it!
This invention is briIIiant!
Kid, you're this fair's MVP!
That was some show you put on.
You're a reaI speciaI kid,
but, um,
you don't Iook Iike a Lewis. You Iook more Iike a...
CorneIius. I get that a Iot.
Oh, no! Sorry, mister.
No harm done.
Frankie, what have I toId you about running away?
-Frankie? -My star pupiI.
My name's Franny, and I teach frogs music.
ReaIIy?
Mmm-hmm.
You know that frogs have more musicaI abiIity than peopIe?
But nobody beIieves me.
They aII think I'm crazy.
You think I'm crazy, too.
No. No, I think you're right.
Over here? There he is.
Kid, we'd Iike to get a story on you for the IocaI paper.
You've got a bright future ahead of you.
(LITTLE WONDERS PLAYING)
(SINGING) Let it go
Yeah.
Let it roll right off your shoulder
Don't you know
The hardest part is over
Let it in
(INAUDIBLE)
Let your clarity define you
In the end
We will only just remember How it feels
(INAUDIBLE)
Let it slide
Let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine
Until you feel it all around you
And I don't mind
If it's me you need to turn to
We'll get by
It's the heart that really matters In the end
Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists and turns of fate
Time falls away
But these small hours
These small hours still remain
All of my regret
Will wash away somehow
But I cannot forget
The way I feel right now
(THE FUTURE HAS ARRIVED PLAYING)

(THE MOTION WALTZ PLAYING)
(SINGING) Waiting to cross the Rubicon
Wondering what side I'm on
What are these visions Of me as a young man
With one arm pointing And the other arm holding your hand?
Needing a plan to keep you near
Blowing a horn so you can hear
If it was only my love and devotion
This world would suddenly be In a state of
Commotion
Emotional commotion
I never get around Under the sun and the stars
And I may be always frowning
But one day you will see Under the sun and the stars
You will turn around And I'll be
In motion
Emotional commotion
Emotional motion
