...WHICH IS WHY WE ARE GATHERED HERE ON THIS DAY,
THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE METEOR'S IMPACT.
ADJUSTING TO THIS STRANGE NEW WORLD
HAS BEEN DIFFICULT FOR ALL OF US.
[SNORING]
[GROANS, MUMBLES]
FORTUNATELY, WE HAVE HAD HELP
FROM 6 EXTRAORDINARY INDIVIDUALS
YEAH!
WHO HAVE WATCHED OVER AND PROTECTED US.
AND NOW TO ACCEPT THIS SMALL TOKEN
OF OUR APPRECIATION--
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE IN MY LIFE
WHO HAVE MADE THIS INCREDIBLE
HONOR POSSIBLE. BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THEM.
AS YOU KNOW, THERE IS A LOT OF HARD WORK--
THIS IS FOR THE TEAM'S LEADER--
ACE BUNNY.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MAYOR.
GOOD THING IT'S NOT EVERYDAY
THAT DESTRUCTION REIGNS DOWN...UPON US?
GREAT. A HAILSTORM AND ME WITHOUT MY UMBRELLA.
THIS ISN'T HAIL.
THESE ARE ROCK PELLETS.
THEY'RE NOT EVEN FROM THIS PLANET.
IT'S A METEOR SHOWER.
AND I DON'T THINK AN UMBRELLA'S GONNA HELP.
Zodavia: IN THE YEAR 2772,
A METEOR STRIKES THE CITY PLANET OF ACMETROPOLIS,
KNOCKING IT OFF ITS AXIS.
THIS COSMIC EVENT RELEASES SUPERNATURAL FORCES
UNLEASHING A NEW KIND OF HERO--THE LOONATICS.
Ace: HIT IT, LOONATICS. WE GOT PEOPLE TO SAVE.
UGH! UNH!
UGH!
UGH! UNH!
Mayor: OH! OH! AAH!
I THOUGHT THE WEATHER CALLED FOR ONLY PARTLY ROCKY.
UNH!
REV, FETCH MY NEUTRON CANNON.
YOU DIDN'T SAY IF YOU WANTED THE DIFFRACTION NEUTRON CANNON,
OR THE BEAM-STARTER NEUTRON CANNON,
OR THE ONE THAT GOES "DAH-DAH-DAH-DAH."
THAT HURTS. UHH! UHH!
HA HA! HOW'S THAT FOR MIND OVER MATTER.
SLAM, SET YOUR SPIN CYCLE ON SUCTION!
Rev: ALL ABOARD. REV RUNNER EXPRESS
COMING THROUGH. OK, LADIES AND GENTS,
NO NEED TO PACK YOUR BAGS, WE'RE ALL TRAVELING LIGHT.
- AAH! AAH! - HAVE NO FEAR.
MAYOR, YOUR LIFE
HAS JUST BEEN OFFICIALLY SAVED BY DANGER DUCK.
THANKS!
[CRASH] UHH!
KINDA.
Ace: OK, TECH, TIME TO MAKE WITH THE BIG WORDS.
[BEEP]
Tech: THE METEOR THAT HIT ACMETROPOLIS A YEAR AGO
WAS ONLY A TRIAL RUN.
THIS ONE IS 500 TIMES THE SIZE OF THE ORIGINAL.
Ace: KINDA MAKE YOU MISS THE GOOD OLD DAYS, HUH?
OH, GREAT! WHEN THE NEXT ONE HITS,
EVERYONE WILL HAVE SUPER POWERS. HA!
I DON'T NEED THAT KIND OF COMPETITION.
AFTER THIS ONE HITS,
THERE WON'T BE ANYONE, PERIOD.
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, LEXI.
WHICH IS WHY YOU HAVE TO JOURNEY INTO SPACE
BEFORE THAT METEOR HITS ACMETROPOLIS.
WELL, DON'T WORRY YOUR WEALTHY LITTLE HEAD,
BOSS LADY. WE LAUGH AT DANGER.
HA HA HA HA HA!
BESIDES, WHAT'S SO SCARY ABOUT A LITTLE SPACE VOYAGE?
WELL, THERE'S COSMIC RAYS, AIR LOSS, ENGINE FAILURES,
ZERO GRAVITY, DEADLY ALIENS, BLACK HOLES, SUPERNOVAS--
[SIGHS] SEE? LAUGHING ALREADY.
ZODAVIA OUT.
UHH! HYAH!
Lexi: ENGAGING ANTI-GRAVITY SENSORS.
COULDN'T SLEEP, HUH?
I USUALLY COUNT SHEEP, BUT THAT'S JUST ME.
THIS IS THE BIGGEST MISSION WE'VE EVER BEEN ON.
GOTTA BE READY FOR ANYTHING.
OH, YOU ALWAYS LAND ON YOUR FEET.
I'VE HAD A LOT OF PRACTICE.
NO!
[GASPS]
Computerized voice: DESTROY HUMANITY. DESTROY.
Woman: AAH!
SORRY, BUCKET BOY.
NOT TODAY.
DESTROY HUMANITY. DESTROY.
Man: AND...CUT!
OH! HO HO! VAN, BABE!
FABOO! HA HA HA!
TAKE A BREAK WHILE WE SHOOT THE FIGHT SCENE, HMM? HA HA!
WHERE'S THAT STUNT RABBIT?!
YEAH, THAT WOULD BE STUNT BUNNY.
WHATEVER.
NOW, LIKE WE REHEARSED, HMM?
WHOA! SLOW DOWN THERE, DOC.
SEE, I GOT SOME IDEAS YOU'RE GONNA LOVE.
NOW, WHEN THE ROBOT COMES AT ME,
HOW ABOUT I DO SOME OF THESE, HUH?
HYAH! COUPLE OF THOSE... AND ONE OF THESE!
HYAH!
NO. [CHUCKLES]
[RECORD SCRATCHES]
YOU SEE, I AM THE DIRECTOR,
WHICH MAKES ME THE BOSS,
AND THAT MEANS YOU DO THE SCENE
THE WAY I TELL YOU TO DO THE SCENE.
AND...ACTION!
HUH? UHH!
OW! OW! OW!
STOP IT! NO!
[GROANING AND MUMBLING]
[GASPS]
IT'S SHOWTIME.
Lexi: ANY SIGN OF MORE METEOR SHOWERS, DUCK?
NOPE, BUT THE FIT AND HANDSOME SUPERHERO
STANDS CALM, YET FOCUSED,
CONFIDENT THAT SHOULD DANGER ARISE,
HE'S READY TO PROTECT THE LIVES OF HIS--
A SIMPLE "NO" WOULD HAVE DONE, DUCK.
HAVE YOU ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS?
STOIC IN MY RESOLVE
TO BE THE BEST SUPERHERO EVER?
WHY, YES.
SEEMS JUST LIKE YESTERDAY...
THE BRONZED AND HANDSOME LIFEGUARD
SITS CALM, YET FOCUSED,
CONFIDENT THAT SHOULD DANGER ARISE,
HE STANDS READY TO PROTECT THE LIVES--
YO, DUCK!
GET OUT OF MY CHAIR AND DO YOUR JOB.
POOL BOY. OH, YEAH.
AND MAKE SURE YOU USE THE NET.
WHOA--WHOA...
[MOCKING] "USE THE NET!
USE THE NET!"
TALK ABOUT A WASTE OF TALENT.
EGH. ANOTHER TREASURE FROM THE DEEP.
[BABY CRIES] MAMA!
MINE!
UGH! JUST PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY!
HUH?
I WAS KIDDING! I WAS KIDDING!
AAH!
WELL, I GOT TO HAND IT TO YOU, DUCK.
YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY SINCE DIAPER DUTY.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, TOOTS.
YOU GOT TO BE FEARLESS
WHEN YOU STEP INTO THE SPOTLIGHT LIKE ME.
I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE IN THE SPOTLIGHT.
Girl: WELCOME, EVERYONE, TO THIS YEAR'S TRYOUTS
FOR THE ACMETROPOLIS UNIVERSITY SPIRIT SQUAD.
AS YOU KNOW, THE COMPETITION
IS PARTICULARLY TOUGH THIS YEAR.
SO SUPER GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL.
FIRST UP, LEXI, UH...BUNNY?
[THINKING] DON'T MESS UP, LEXI.
DON'T MESS UP.
ANYTIME YOU'RE READY.
THAT WAS SUCH A CUTE ROUTINE, LEXI.
BUT I'M AFRAID YOU DON'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES.
[GIRLS GROAN]
[RUMBLING] WHAT IS THAT?!
[SCREAMING]
[GASPS]
I'M READY FOR THIS MISSION...
AND I KNOW I'LL BE AS BRAVE AS YOU, DUCK.
DARE TO DREAM, LEXI. DARE TO DREAM.
Ace: SO, TECH, HOW YOU GONNA GET US UP TO THAT BIG ROCK?
PRESENTING THE TECH E. COYOTE
SPACE DREAM 8000.
KIND OF A LITTLE RETRO, ISN'T IT?
NO. IN FACT,
IT'S JUST THE THING WE NEED
TO DESTROY THAT METEOR.
OH. IF ONLY THE FELLOWS BACK AT THE ACME INSTITUTE
COULD SEE ME NOW.
Man: TECH, YOU'RE KEEPING US FROM LUNCH.
NOW, ARE YOU GOING TO DEMONSTRATE
YOUR SENIOR THESIS OR NOT?
YES, AND YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED, SIR.
JUST ONE LAST ADJUSTMENT--
OH, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
STEP ASIDE, SON.
I'LL TURN IT ON MYSELF.
BE CAREFUL! I INSTALLED A SELF-DESTRUCT MODE
FOR EXTRA CREDIT!
MY BABY!
[COUGHS]
I USED TO THINK YOU WERE A MAD GENIUS.
NOW I THINK YOU'RE JUST...MAD.
BUT IT DOES WORK.
IF ONLY SOMEONE COULD SEE THAT.
[RUMBLING]
UHH!
IT'LL WORK.
I KNOW IT.
Tech: PERFECT TAKEOFF.
Ace: GREAT JOB, TECH.
Lexi: IT MAY BE RETRO, BUT IT'S COOL.
Duck: YEAH, COOL... FOR A FLYING DINNER PLATE.
Tech: IT SHOULD BE A SMOOTH RIDE FROM HERE.
Tech: BRACE YOURSELVES.
APPROACHING LIGHT METEOR SHOWER.
Duck: DOES THIS FEEL LIKE WE HAVE A SLOW RIDE?
[ENGINE SPUTTERS]
UH, TECH, WHY DOES IT SOUND LIKE
THE ENGINES JUST STOPPED?
UH, WELL, THAT WOULD BE
BECAUSE THE ENGINES JUST STOPPED.
AH.
Duck: I THINK I JUST THREW UP IN MY BILL.
Duck: WE'RE DOOMED!
COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY DOOMED!
UHH!
REV, LOG IN TO THE LAB.
UPLOAD A COPY OF THE CONTROL SYSTEM SOFTWARE
SO WE CAN REBOOT THE SYSTEM.
DONE, DONE, AND...
WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.
WAIT A MINUTE...DONE.
[BEEPING]
Duck: AAH!
DOOMED!
OK. IT'S SMOOTH SAILING FROM HERE ON OUT.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
I HOPE THIS IS THE GOOD SMOOTH
AS OPPOSED TO THE BAD SMOOTH.
Tech: ONCE WE GET THROUGH THE ASTEROID BELT,
WE SHOULD SEE OUR TARGET.
IF OUR TARGET DOESN'T SEE US FIRST.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT, ACE,
BECAUSE TECH HAS PLOTTED A COURSE THAT ALLOWS US
TO AVOID CONTACT WITH ANY LARGE OBJECTS.
AND IF ANYONE CAN DO THAT, IT'S MY MAN TECH.
AND BESIDES, THE STATISTICAL PROBABILITY OF AN IMPACT
EVEN HERE ON THE ASTEROID BELT IS FAIRLY MINUTE--
UHH! AHH!
YOU WANNA RECHECK THOSE NUMBERS?
All: UHH! WHOA!
THEN, UH, RECHECK AS TO WHY THOSE ROCKS
VOILA.
AND IT LOCKS IN FRESHNESS.
WAIT A SEC. WHERE'S SLAM?
HE'S ALREADY OUTSIDE, SLAMMIN' AWAY.
UHH! UHH! UHH!
FORE!
FIVE!
Lexi: I HAVEN'T SEEN SLAM HAVE THIS MUCH FUN
SINCE HIS OLD DAYS IN THE WRESTLING RING.
BATTER! BATTER! BATTER! SWING, BATTER!
Ace: HEADS UP, SLAM!
[BELL RINGS]
AND NOW, THIS WEEK'S RAGIN' FIGHT NIGHT
OF THE MILLENNIUM!
YOUR FAVORITE, CARLOS THE CONQUEROR!
[CHEERING]
VERSUS THE TERROR FROM SOMEWHERE,
TWISTED SPINNER!
[GROWLS]
[FRENCH ACCENT] REMEMBER, FUZZBALL,
MAKE IT LOOK GOOD WHEN YOU LOSE.
[MUMBLES] WIN!
[BELL RINGS]
JUST TAKE THE FALL, YOU FURRY FATHEAD!
[GROWLS, MUMBLES]
OH, EXCUSE ME.
MR. FATHEAD!
[GROWLS, MUMBLES]
[GROWLS, YELLS]
CRUSH HIM! CRUSH HIM!
Slam: HUH? [MUMBLES]
ALL RIGHT, SLUGGER.
YEAH.
WAY TO SAVE THE DAY.
LET'S GET HIM BACK IN THE SHIP.
Lexi: METEOR STRAIGHT AHEAD.
YEAH, AND IT'S BIG!
Duck: ARE YOU SURE WE CAN DESTROY THAT THING?
YES. TO INSURE DESTRUCTION BEFORE IT REACHES ACMETROPOLIS,
I'VE DESIGNED THIS DEVICE
WHICH WILL AMPLIFY ACE'S LASER BY A FULL FACTOR OF,
YOU GUESSED IT, GOOGOL.
A GOO WHA?
A GOOGOL IS A NUMERAL ONE FOLLOWED BY
100 ZEROS AND WAS INVENTED BY
AMERICAN MATHEMATICIAN EDWARD KASNER,
BORN 1878, DIED 1955.
AND THE REASON THEY CALL IT A GOOGOL
IS BECAUSE KASNER ASKED HIS NEPHEW MELVIN,
WHO WAS THEN 8 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME,
WHAT NAME HE WOULD GIVE A REALLY BIG NUMBER.
OK! YAWN! REALLY BORED NOW. STOP.
HERE GOES NOTHIN'!
WHOA! ACE, YOU DID IT.
WHOA! ACE, YOU DIDN'T DO IT.
THAT BLAST ONLY PEELED OFF A LAYER OF ATMOSPHERIC DUST.
IMPOSSIBLE!
MAYBE, TECH, MAYBE. BUT IF WE DON'T FIND
SOME OTHER WAY TO STOP THAT THING,
ACMETROPOLIS IS GONNA BE
NOTHING BUT A BIG PILE OF ATMOSPHERIC DUST.
Lexi: GUYS, WE'VE GOTTA TAKE OUT THAT METEOR
BEFORE IT HITS ACMETROPOLIS.
NO MORE ACMETROPOLIS?
NO MORE GLOOMY PURPLE SKIES!
OH, SADNESS! OH, WOE!
[WEEPS LOUDLY]
SO, WHAT PLANET DO WE MOVE TO NEXT?
UH, TECH,
SOMETHING'S SCREWY OUT HERE...
BESIDES HIM.
FIRST, THE SAUCER CONKED OUT.
THEN THOSE ASTEROIDS CAME AFTER US.
AND NOW, THAT HUNK OF ROCK
TURNS OUT TO BE LASER-PROOF.
TIME FOR PLAN "B".
NEXT TIME, LET'S START WITH PLAN "B".
WE LAND ON THE METEOR,
PLANT SOME CHARGES AT PRECISE STRESS POINTS,
AND THEN ESCAPE BEFORE THE BIG KA-BOOM.
Rev: OK. EVERYONE PUT ON YOUR INTER-COCKPIT
SPACESUITS. COME ON.
OKEY-DOKEY, REV, BABY.
YOU'RE THE FASTEST.
SO, WE'RE COUNTING ON YOU
TO PLANT MOST OF THE CHARGES.
YOU CAN COUNT ON ME, ACE.
THEY DON'T CALL ME THE SPEED DEMON
OF ACMETROPOLIS FOR NOTHING.
BUT OF COURSE, I HAVEN'T ALWAYS BEEN THE FASTEST,
BUT THAT'S ANOTHER STORY.
IT HAPPENED A LONG, LONG, LONG,
LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG TIME AGO.
WE GUARANTEE A FREE LUNCH
IF THEY DON'T GET THEIR ORDER IN 30 MINUTES.
YOU GOT 5 MINUTES LEFT TO GET IT THERE.
OTHERWISE, I TAKE IT OUT OF YOUR PAY.
DON'T YOU WORRY, COOKIE. I'M ON IT.
ROCKET BLADES DON'T FAIL ME NOW.
QUICK WRAP SANDWICH SHACK.
WE DELIVER IN 30 MINUTES OR YOU EAT--
FOR FREE.
MY WATCH SAYS ONE MINUTE PAST 12:00. YOU'RE LATE.
YOUR WATCH MUST BE FAST BECAUSE--
BETTER MOVE FASTER NEXT TIME.
BUT...
BUT I WON'T GET PAID.
[RUMBLING] [GASPS]
[THINKING] I'M FASTER NOW,
AND I CAN'T FAIL.
YOU WON'T HAVE TO DOCK MY PAY THIS TIME, COOKIE.
UH, WHO'S COOKIE?
WHAT? WHO? I MEAN ACE.
Ace: EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.
Duck: IT IT TOO LATE FOR PLAN "C"?
"X" MARKS THE SPOT TO THE BIG KABOOM.
NOW THE BRAVE SPACE RANGER
PRECISELY POSITIONS HIS CHARGES.
IF HE'S OFF BY EVEN ONE MICRON,
THE ENTIRE MISSION WILL FAIL.
YIPES!
HA HA! WHOA! MISSED ME!
I'M QUACKING OUT OF HERE!
OK. NO AIR. BAD IDEA.
HA HA! NOW, WHERE WAS I?
OH, YEAH.
UHH! HA! LET GO OF MY SUIT!
OK. LET'S GET THESE BABIES PLANTED.
[CHUCKLES]
IT'S THAT COSMIC ENERGY AGAIN!
[GRUNTS]
DON'T MOVE! I'LL SAVE YA!
