[ Boy ] Ready, Grandpa?
[ Man ] Okay, kiddo, melt my mitt!
I'm tryin', Grandpa.
I know you are, pal.
Hey, Marky. Marky.
Come on out and play. We need someone for left field.
- Later. - [ Boy #2 ] Hey, Eddie, forget him.
What a wimp.
Go play with your friends there, pal.
I can pick you up later.
Grandpa, they only want me when they're short a man.
They think I'm a joke.
Besides, today's Saturday.
Saturday's our day.
Watch out now. Fastball.
Ooh!
Broke some bones on that one.
Throw me your famous Chinese dipsy-doodle.
The ol' Chinese dipsy-doodle?
Okay.
Activate your radar.
Here it comes.
[ Groans ]
Good catch!
Now you're kickin' butt, Elvis!
[ Grandpa Laughs ]
Want a cigar, Elvis?
Right, right. I keep forgettin' you don't smoke.
You've really been to China, Grandpa?
Which time you want me to tell you about?
Time the called me in there to give the emperor boxing lessons?
[ Chuckles ] Are you making this up?
If I was, how do you explain me having that rare Ming talisman?
And the magic spell.
The spell? It's really from China?
Ah, so.
Secret ceremony,
incense, gong.
[ Imitates Gong ]
Colored smoke everywhere.
The Emperor Ming gave me the spell...
and told me to watch out for it real special.
[ Speaks Foreign Language ]
That's real magic.
You protect it.
[ Marky ] Yahoo!
Whoo!
How you doin', Elvis? Ridin' high?
Ya-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Mona's really wailin' now.
[ Horn Honks ]
Come on, old buddy.
- Good ride, huh? - I was just about to come lookin' for you two.
Dinner's almost ready.
Good. We're here and hungry.
Marky, why don't you go on inside and get cleaned up.
Well, what's on your mind, Son?
If you don't want me stayin' here anymore, just say so.
Never wanna be where I ain't welcome.
I'm glad you're with us, Dad. Dorothy is too.
The point is,
you gotta start taking care of yourself and slow down.
No problem.
You got your ship shank, your fisherman's loop, your cow hitch,
and, of course, your Portuguese bowline.
That's when you want to lift someone up...
and not squeeze all the air out of 'em.
I taught Houdini how to use it for one of his tricks.
- Who? - Houdini.
Number one magician in the world--
with my help.
Hey, kid, you still haven't showed the old sea captain...
how to do your square knot.
[ Grandpa ] Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah. Perfect!
You can be my first mate any time.
Come on, pal. Let's go down and watch the ships come in.
I'll race you below.
[ Groans ]
Grandpa.
Mom, Dad!
It's Grandpa!
[ Groans ]
I-- I'm fine. Don't sweat it.
Small potatoes, Elvis.
[ Dorothy ] I'll get the doctor.
[ Door Shuts ]
Grandpa?
Grandpa, I got an idea.
A way for you to be able to go out on Saturdays and play.
If we concentrate real hard...
and use the talisman and the spell from China,
we can change bodies.
You're a sweet boy, Marky. Grandpa loves you.
Grandpa, that way, every Saturday until you feel good again,
you can have my body.
I'll stay in bed inside your body. No one will know.
But you'll have to be home before dark...
'cause you know how Mom and Dad worry.
I wish we could do that.
We can, Grandpa. We can.
You always say if we believe in something, it'll happen.
Let's do it now.
It's not that simple, pal.
Yes, it is.
[ Speaking Foreign Language ]
I will be you and you will be me.
[ Speaks Foreign Language ]
Please.
I will be you and you will be me.
[ Speaking Foreign Language ]
I will be you and you will be me.
- What's happening? - It's the spell, Grandpa-- it's working.
[ Speaks Foreign Language ]
I will be you and you will be me.
[ Wind Whooshing ]
Oh, wow.
- Marky? - Oh, boy.
This is real magic.
Grandpa, yes.
[ Marky Speaking Foreign Language ]
I will be you, Grandpa, and you will be me.
Now you're kickin' butt, Elvis!
[ Exhales ]
[ Tires Squeal ]
Whoa, Mona!
[ Man On TV ] Bullwinkle found himself directly in front of the bank...
- just as the holdup went into full swing. - [ Laughs ]
- [ Gunshots ] - My, the mosquitoes are out early this year.
I had better take a cab.
- [ Laughing ] - [ TV Continues ]
[ Man On TV ] Mistaking the getaway car for a taxi--
- Dad? - ...and his getaway-minded mob--
Uh-- Uh--
I'm going downstairs for a little while.
I'm gonna make you some bouillon for dinner.
Bouillon.
Ugh!
Don't worry, Gramp. I'll get you some real food.
[ Motorcycle Approaching ]
When your dad finds out about this, you're dead meat.
- Anybody want a cigar? - Are you kidding?
Then let's play ball, boys.
You heard me. Let's kick some butt.
Grandpa, you don't feel so good.
Let's go. Come on.
All right, Marky, you take left field.
I'm pitchin'.
[ Grunts ]
The little shrimp thinks he can run a baseball team.
I'll show 'im.
All right, show us what you got, hotshot!
[ Umpire ] All right, let's play ball!
Aw, Marky, you'll be lucky if you can get it over the plate.
- Strike! - Way to go, Marky!
All right!
Strike!
[ Boy ] All right, Marky!
[ Umpire ] Strike!
Strike three! You're outta there!
Well, way to go, Marky.
[ Boy ] All right, Marky! Come on!
[ Children Shouting, Cheering ]
Whoo-hoo!
[ Shouting, Cheering ]
[ Groans ]
Mom!
- Mom? - What is it, Dad?
I'm not your dad.
Mom, I gotta tell you something.
What?
- [ Thud ] - [ Moans ]
[ Shouts ]
[ Groaning ]
"I will be you and you will be me."
Why did you do it?
I only did it because I love Grandpa, Ma.
I wanted him to be able to play again.
But if something happens...
and his heart doesn't work anymore,
I think that means I'll die inside of him.
Please believe me.
Where did he go, sweetheart?
To the ball field.
Grandpa promised me he'd be back before dark.
- Mom? - Okay.
I'll go find him. You just rest.
Grandpa,
you promised you'd be back before dark.
Grandpa, please!
[ Grunting ]
Hey, Mrs. Blaine.
Where did your son learn to pitch like that?
I mean, he threw pitches that were amazing.
They did this and they did loops.
- And the way he rode in on that motorcycle-- - Where is he?
Oh, he got on. He just rode off. He rode off that way.
Oh, man, your kid is cool.
How you doin', Dad?
Tell you what.
Let's take a ride down to the hospital.
No!
What are you gonna do, make me carry you?
You don't understand. I'm not Grandpa. I'm Marky.
[ Chuckles ] Come on, Dad.
Marky!
- Marky! - Here!
- Are you all right? - Yeah.
Honey, I'm gonna get you out.
You're gonna be fine, Dad. Just relax.
I'm not your dad. I'm your son.
Wait. I've got something to tell you.
[ Dad ] What?
Marky?
I'm sorry I did this to you, Grandpa.
I'll tell you what you did, kiddo.
You gave me the greatest day of my life.
Really?
It was the best.
What are we gonna do now, Grandpa?
[ Speaking Foreign Language ]
I will be you and you will be me.
[ Speaking Foreign Language ]
I will be you and you will be me.
[ Speaking Foreign Language ]
I will be you and you will be me.
[ High-pitched Voice ] Hi, Grandpa.
[ Normal Voice ] Gotcha, Elvis.
[ Both Laughing ]
[ Knocking ]
Marky?
Some friends are downstairs to see you.
You know, Marky,
your grandpa was a wonderful man...
and we're all gonna miss him very much,
but if he was here, he'd be the first to tell you...
you can't spend your life moping.
You gotta get on and live life-- hard--
with everything you got.
Yep. That's what Grandpa'd say.
And you know,
I think he's right.
Come on.
[ Eddie ] Boy, you were outrageous, Marky.
Radical, man. Really radical.
You're tellin' me. Too much.
Unbelievable, Marky.
Why didn't you tell us before, man?
- What are you talking about, Eddie? - I love this guy.
All I want to know is, where did you learn to play ball like that?
You-- You were incredible!
[ Marky ] You mean like last time?
[ Eddie ] Yeah.
[ Marky ] Glad you asked, pal.
You guys ever hear about the old guy who lives in China called Emperor Ming?
[ Eddie ] Uh-uh. No.
[ Marky ] Personal friend of mine.
- [ Eddie ] Oh, wow! - [ Boy ] Wow.
[ Marky ] Now you're kicking butt, Elvis!
