TOBY NARRATING: Hi, I'm Toby.
I'm just a regular student.
Well, I was before I got zapped.
Now I'm some kind of science genius.
The only problem is, Elizabeth is too.
[theme music]
[roar]
[bicycle bell]
-Look at that.
Supercharged V-8, naught to 100 in 4.5 seconds.
What do you think?
-Amazing.
-Why don't you guys get a life?
-What's eating you?
-Standing there drooling over a $1
million polluting machine.
-Hey, Sach, you left your--
Hey, you left the key in your locker.
-Right.
-And I found this.
That's Misty, isn't it?
Sach, is there something wrong?
-She's pining.
She's not eating.
-Is there anything I can do?
-Like what?
She's miles away back home.
Forget it.
-I don't get it.
You're this upset?
-Yeah.
-About a horse?
-Russ, Misty is not just a horse.
She's Sacha's horse.
RUSS (OFFSCREEN): OK, right.
SACHA (OFFSCREEN): I wouldn't expect--
-Verity, I'll meet you inside.
-Look, Sach, Misty's a fit, strong horse.
She'll be OK.
-Yeah, maybe.
-Remember last year when I came down to the farm?
You let me ride her and she took off with me hanging for
like, what, three hours?
She could have run all day if we'd let her.
Come on, Sach.
Misty will be fine.
-I suppose.
-Good.
I want another ride.
That day was one of the best times I've ever had.
You know, I--
I always had this crazy dream of being a
cowboy in the Wild West.
-What are you doing?
-Look into the light, Verity.
-Do I have to?
RUSS (OFFSCREEN): So how long do horses live for, anyway?
TOBY (OFFSCREEN): Russ!
[sobbing]
-We've got to do something.
-Don't look at me.
When I speak, she cries.
[sniffling]
-Sach, uh--
look, maybe we should call your folks again, see if
Misty's any--
what's that smell?
-What?
-That smell.
-It's just Misty.
It's her blanket.
I like to keep it with me because the smell
reminds me of her.
After all, you can't bring a horse to the city.
I, I'm gonna go to bed.
I'll see you tomorrow.
-Horse hair?
-Russ, we've got work to do.
-OK, that light thing was weird, but what are you doing
to the chair?
-Just making a few improvements, Verity.
Oh, don't worry.
I've got plans for Toby, not you.
-Hey, guys.
Are you ready for school?
What?
What are you looking at me like that for?
-We've got a surprise for you.
Close your eyes.
Go on, trust me.
[static crackle]
[beeping]
[horse whinnying]
-Misty?
Misty!
Oh Misty, it's you.
Aw, you've missed me, haven't you girl?
Oh, look at you, you look terrible.
Don't worry, everything's going to be just fine.
-Is it real?
-She sure is.
This tracer zeroes in on her DNA, then teleports her here.
Cool, huh?
-Toby, this is awesome.
You're the best cousin ever.
Misty, I've missed you so much.
Now for the real test.
Let's see if she'll eat something.
[misty whinnying]
-Hey, there you go.
Oh, this is so fantastic, Toby.
I don't know why I didn't think of bringing her with me
in the first place.
-Come and have a pet, Russ.
-Uh, thanks, but I'll pass.
Horses and me, we don't really mix.
-Russ, Misty's really gentle, see?
You're going to have to get over this.
She's here to stay.
-Uh, Sach, there might be a small problem with that.
Like, we don't have anywhere to put a horse.
-She can stay here.
-Misty is not staying in my bedroom.
Look, whenever you want to see her, just use the tracer, then
hit the red switch to send her home again, OK?
-OK.
[school bell]
-Did I say you were the best cousin ever?
-Only about 100 times.
-Toby Johnson!
I've been looking for you.
-Uh, yes, Miss Hammer?
-This is your lucky day.
You've been selected help prepare an information package
for Open Day.
-Wow.
That's good news.
-So, starting right now, you'll be excused from all
classes until the task is done.
-Really?
That's great news.
-And you'll be working with Elizabeth.
She suggested working on the project with you.
Personally, I can't understand her choice, but I'm sure the
results will be most pleasing.
Good luck.
-Great, thanks.
-Lucky you.
[dialing phone]
ELIZABETH (ON PHONE): Toby!
-What do you think you're doing?
-Come on, we're just gonna work together.
It'll be fun.
-Not my idea of fun.
-But you wouldn't want to disappoint Miss
Hammer now, would you?
Guess not.
Come on up.
-Don't you think the library would be a
better place for this?
-Maybe, but it's quiet in here and we won't be interrupted.
Sit down, make yourself comfortable.
I'm almost finished here.
-If you're busy, we can do this later.
-I won't be a minute.
Relax, take a seat.
[beep]
-I love being a genius.
[screaming]
-What?
Elizabeth!
What have you done?
Where am I?
-I thought you liked the Wild West, cowboy.
-Don't move a muscle.
-Heh heh.
-Ah, right.
I get it.
This is some kind of virtual reality.
Very funny, Elizabeth!
-Heat stroke.
Sends 'em crazy.
Keep your eyes open.
-Mm-hmm.
-Hands up, cowboy.
-What?
-I says hands up.
-Look, I don't have time for this.
You're just a couple of 3D characters programmed into
some stupid game.
-This ain't no game, boy.
Get 'im, Wyatt.
-Hmm?
-Wait a second.
Guys?
Hey.
[chuckling]
-What's this?
-That's the sheriff.
Was the sheriff.
[laughter]
-Looks like he's gonna get some company
real soon, eh, Wyatt?
-Uh-huh.
-Stop!
You don't understand.
-Relax, Toby.
You're gonna love this.
[beep]
-Sheriff Toby.
Cute.
-Seems we got ourselves a new sheriff in town.
WYATT (OFFSCREEN): Uh-huh.
-You ain't taking us in.
-I don't want to take you in.
And I'm not the sheriff.
-You got the hat.
-Who cares about the hat?
I don't want this stupid hat.
I am not playing this game.
You got that?
-Don't want to play, huh?
I can fix that.
[beep]
-What?
Will you stop doing that?
-Hey, you.
Give me back the gold.
-Look, this is starting to get on my nerves.
Go away.
And I don't have any gold.
[coins jingling]
-OK, so I do have the gold.
Here, you want it?
You have it.
Be my guest.
Live it up.
Buy the town, buy a yacht.
-What's a yacht?
-A sailing boat.
-Oh.
-Point is, I'm out of here.
See ya.
-Hold it right there.
Nobody turns their back on Earl
Stetson, or my name ain't--
Earl Stetson!
-Really?
So what are you gonna do about it?
You're not real.
[beep]
EARL (OFFSCREEN): Oh yeah?
WYATT (OFFSCREEN): Uh-huh.
[beep]
[gunshots]
[laughter]
-Real enough for you now, cowboy?
-Poor Toby.
-What do you mean?
He gets out of classes.
-Yeah, but he has to spend a whole day
in a room with Elizabeth.
-Oh yeah, that's pretty bad.
[laughter]
-Misty!
How did you get in here?
How did she get in here?
-I don't know.
You must have hit the green switch.
-No I didn't.
-Just hit the red switch and get it out of here before
anyone sees.
-Yeah, all right, all right.
[static crackling]
-It must be broken.
-Let me try it.
-I know how to hit a switch, Russ.
Oh, we've got to get her out of here.
Find Toby and get him to fix it.
Hold her while I get on.
They'll come back soon.
[misty whinnying]
-Skinner!
Is that a horse?
-Um, yes, Miss Hammer, I believe it is.
-And what exactly is it doing on school grounds?
-Sacha?
-We don't know.
We found her.
-I see.
Right, well, you're both late for class, so get going and
I'll call the appropriate authorities and have this
dealt with.
-But you can't.
-Ah, but nothing, Sacha.
Go to class.
We pay your teachers good money to teach you and, well,
they can't do that if you're not there, can they?
Off you go.
Hurry up.
Come on.
EARL (OFFSCREEN): Had enough, Sheriff?
[wyatt laughing]
-Say it.
You're beat.
-That's it.
You want a fight, you've got it.
-Yee-haw.
-Hee hee!
-Finally.
[beep]
-I can't find Tobes anywhere.
-Well, neither can I. He must still be with Elizabeth.
What are we going to do?
Oh, Verity!
Where are you going?
-To the bathroom.
Why?
-I need Toby.
-Um--
[whirring sound]
-Yeah, like, now.
-Follow me.
-Hey guys, you can't just leave me with--
-Ready for this, boy?
-Bring it on.
-I'm warning you, you is only one man.
And a puny one at that.
[laughs]
Don't you do nothing stupid now.
-Scared, huh?
-No.
We got your gal.
-Help, Toby, he's got me.
-Good.
What do I care?
-Hey, that's not very gentlemanly.
You speak nice to the lady now.
-Shut up.
What do you think you're doing?
-I'm trapped.
You need to save me.
-What?
First you trap me in a virtual reality and then you expect me
to save you?
What kind of sick, twisted mind would do that?
-Mine.
-OK.
If this is the only way I'm gonna get out of
here, I'll do it.
-Toby!
[static crackle]
SACHA (OFFSCREEN): Are they all right?
Misty!
-Ah!
What's going on?
-Yeah, I don't know.
It's all going crazy.
VERITY (OFFSCREEN): Well, do something.
SACHA (OFFSCREEN): I don't know.
VERITY (OFFSCREEN): Well, well, let's--
[crackling]
-What are we doing in here?
-I don't know.
-What do you mean you don't know?
You've planned all this.
You've programmed everything.
-Not this.
You were meant to save me from the bad guys and then we get
out of the game.
Something must have gone wrong.
-You mean we're stuck here?
-Uh-huh.
[wyatt chuckling]
-Misty just--
oh, she's here.
-Keep that horse under control.
-I'm trying, I'm trying.
Stop that.
Whoa there.
-Will you stop moving?
The ropes are cutting into my arms.
-If I can just get enough room, I might be able to slip
out.
-Toby, you're cutting off my circulation.
[elizabeth groans]
-There.
-Great.
Get me out.
EARL (OFFSCREEN): You tied 'em up good and proper?
-No, you'd better stay there.
-What?
-Trust me.
-Huh?
-OK, can I get out of these ropes now?
-What's the matter?
Don't you like being trapped?
-Ha, very funny.
Just untie me.
-What's going on in there?
Now what have we here?
Two little lovebirds trying to flee the nest.
Hee hee hee.
Yee-haw!
Looks like I'm gonna rope me a purty little filly.
TOBY (OFFSCREEN): Hey!
[groaning]
[grunt]
-That horse will wreck everything.
-I'm trying to move her.
-That yellow light.
Does that mean she's--
-Misty?
Misty, look.
Come on.
Yah!
-Yee-haw!
[gunshots]
-Dagnabbit.
-Uh-huh.
-Wow.
You were amazing.
-I just did what I had to do, that's all.
-You saved me.
-Elizabeth--
-Don't say anything.
[verity screaming]
-Russ, do something!
-All right!
[device powering down]
-Toby!
RUSS (OFFSCREEN): Tobes!
-Toby!
RUSS (OFFSCREEN): Man, are you OK?
VERITY (OFFSCREEN): Are you here, Elizabeth?
Are you OK?
-Toby?
Ah.
-Uh, good timing.
SACHA (OFFSCREEN): Huh?
-Trust me when I say you don't wanna know.
-What?
No.
What have you done?
-Whoa.
Whoa there.
Tell it to stop.
It's following me.
-That's because she likes you.
-Me?
Really?
Good Misty.
OK, I see what the problem is.
-Russell?
Have you seen that horse?
-Horse?
What horse?
Haven't seen a horse.
-Then I guess you'd be responsible for that.
-So what happened in there?
-Well, let's just say it was promising.
[sigh]
-Whoa.
There you go.
I'll come back home soon, OK?
Yeah.
-OK, here goes.
-Make sure you eat, OK?
[static crackling]
SACHA (OFFSCREEN): Go on, girl.
Go on, Misty.
[misty whinnying]
[whirring noise]
[static crackling]
-Russ, are you, um--
are you all right?
-I--
yeah.
Yeah, just got some sand in my eye.
-So what happened with you and Elizabeth?
-Oh, nothing much.
Come on, let's go.
