All language subtitles for My Favorite Martian s01e13 How to Be a Hero

Say, Uncle Martin, you know, I always
thought it would take a much larger

spaceship to get here from Mars. Well,
we have larger models, but a compact is

all you need to drop in on a neighbor.

A neighbor?

Now, frankly, I never felt exactly
chummy about Mars.

Why not? Every 17 years, we're only 35
million miles apart.

Oh, well, practically across the street.

Oh, there we are.

Once I get this repaired, I'll really be
able to make some progress.

Now, how are you going to get that
engine fixed? It looks like a mess. No

problem. All I need is a little glink.

Glink? Glink.

What's Glink?

It's a basic ore. The Earth is loaded
with it. You just haven't discovered it

yet.

I don't know. Tom Edison asked me the
same thing about uranium.

You knew Tom Edison?

Who do you think gave him the idea for
the light bulb?

Well,

where do you find Glink?

Glink. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, where do
you find it around here? Well, if my

calculations are correct, Sunset
Mountain.

How about driving me up there this
afternoon?

Oh, I'm sorry, Uncle Martin. Look, this
is my only day off the paper. I sort of

thought I'd go over to, uh... We've got
a snooper.

Who are you?

I'm Zeno, and I just got here from Mars.

It's the tourist season.

Well, welcome to Earth, Zeno. How'd you
like the trip?

Yeah, it's okay. Took me three days.

Yeah, that's pretty good.

Beats the old record by a month and a
half.

How are things back on Mars?

I can't tell you.

Why not?

Because I was sworn to secrecy by the
High Council.

Oh, come on. You can trust us.

Well... The Zodos and the Grappitos got
together and captured all the poodle

people and turned them into brangles.

No.

Yeah.

Well, serves them right.

Those poodle people always were
persnickety.

Biggest story of the year. I can't print
it.

I sure envy you, Beano.

Zeno. Zeno.

Living on a wonderful place like Mars.

When you go back, how about taking me
along?

Well, I'd have to think about it.

But if you do, you have to bring your
own sandwiches.

Oh, shucks, it's my sister.

There you are. Didn't you hear me
calling?

How could I? I was busy parking my
saucer. Now, don't you start with any of

wild stories, Stephen Richman.

That's a name I use when I'm busy on
Earth.

Stephen, have you been bothering these
gentlemen?

No, no bother.

We've enjoyed it, especially now.

I'm Tim O 'Hara, and that's my Uncle
Martin.

Hello, I'm Jennifer Richmond.

Oh, well, how come I haven't seen you
before?

Oh, we just moved to Los Angeles.

From Mars.

By way of Cincinnati.

Our folks bought the little yellow house
down at the corner.

Oh, well, now look, if there's anything
I can do to help, like, well, bringing

over a bucket of ice cubes or a cup of
bobby pins or anything.

You're very kind, but we're getting
along fine.

Tim, uh...

Don't you think we ought to get back to
work?

Yes, that's a good idea. Uncle Martin
and I are going up to Sunset Mountain

today.

We are?

It would be awfully nice if you could
come along. We could make a picnic out

it. Hey, I love picnics.

Tim.

Can't we go, Jen? Please?

I don't think it would be right,
Stephen.

It certainly wouldn't.

Why not? Mom says we ought to meet
people. And they're people.

Yeah. If you'd like any proof, I have a
birth certificate.

Please, Jen, I haven't had any fun since
I got here.

Please.

Well, all right.

Mr. O 'Hara, we'd love to go.

Yippee! Uh, yes, that's all very well,
but Tim's car won't hold four people.

Oh, that's all right.

We can use ours, can't we, Jen?

Of course.

Steven, that's your fourth sandwich.
You'll be so sick tomorrow, you won't be

able to go to school.

School?

Martians don't have to go to school.

They don't?

They don't have to. They take shots.

Stop making up those wild stories.

How do you know they're wild?

She's never been to Mars.

Well, this is all very fascinating, but
if you good people will excuse me, I

think I'll shake the cobwebs off my
feet.

Can I go, too?

Well, I'm sure your sister would rather
have you stay here.

Oh, no, she doesn't mind. No, you just
go ahead and take a nice long walk.

Happy

glink.

Happy what?

Uh, glink. That's an old family joke.

Oh, Tim, maybe we should take a little
walk. Oh, oh, well, I'd love to, really,

but you see, I have a very, very bad
knee.

Back gammon, you know. Oh, no, I didn't
know. Yes, yes, and right now it hurts.

It hurts so much.

Pain. Throbbing.

Wait a second, Uncle Morton. I can't
keep up with you. Well, Zeno, I'm

surprised. What's a little speed to a
Martian?

I thought you fellas could do all sorts
of incredible things.

Oh, I can.

Like what?

Well, the way I heard it, gravity is so
low on Mars that you fellas could scoot

up the highest mountain like a fly, leap
the widest river, or whiz through the

air like a blazing meteor.

Why do that all the time?

That's when I'm back home.

Hey,

wait for me! I don't know what to do
about Stephen.

Oh, he'll be all right.

Jennifer, do you believe in fate?

He's developed the wildest imagination.

Yes, well, I'm getting a pretty good one
myself right now.

He's gotten so he doesn't know what's
real and what's make -believe. Well,

who does know what's real and what's
make -believe? Why, a month ago, you and

were thousands of miles apart, and yet
here we are together.

Why... Yesterday, you and I were total
strangers to each other, and yet here we

are, sharing this fleeting moment in the
wilderness.

And wilderness, we're paradise anew.

Well, Tim, that was lovely.

You say things so beautifully.

Why, do you really think so?

I certainly do.

Tim?

Yes? Would you have a little talk with
Stephen?

Stephen?

Jennifer, did you hear what I just said
about the wilderness?

Well, the other night on television,
Charles Boyer said practically the same

thing to Irene Dunn, and she plopped
right into his arm.

Yes. He probably didn't have a kid
brother.

Uncle Martin!

What is it, Steve?

Uncle Martin, you trying to lose me?

Steve, would I do a thing like that?

I don't know.

I'm hot.

Naturally.

It's a lot warmer here than it is on
Mars.

Haven't you noticed?

Oh, sure.

It's just that... Uncle Martin, can you
keep a secret? Steve, anyone who can't

keep a secret can't keep a friend.

Well, I'm really not from Mars.

You aren't?

I just pretend.

You see, you have to do things like that
when you don't have anybody to play

with.

Yeah.

I know what you mean, Stevie.

I guess the kids on Mars have a tough
time, too, when they move.

You sure know a lot about Mars, don't
you?

Know it like a native.

Boy, you must have read a pile of comic
books.

I wonder what Mars is really like.

It's a beautiful place, Stevie.

A wonderful place to live.

They call it the Red Planet, but it's
really pink.

Lovely pink valleys shaded by tall pink
trees.

The trees are pink?

Why? Why not?

I don't know.

Are the kids pink, too?

No, I guess children are the same all
over the universe, Steve.

Say, would you like me to show you how
they play hide -and -seek on Mars?

Hide -and -seek?

That's for kids.

Oh, yes.

Not like they play it on Mars.

Stand up. Yeah, stand right there.

Now, turn around. Turn around.

Close your eyes.

Now, count to five.

Okay.

You sure got away quick.

a fly.

I'll show those Martian kids.

Oh, boy.

What did I ever come up here for?

Mr. Burns was so doggone impressed that
he gave me a byline.

Isn't that terrific?

Yeah. Hi, Uncle Martin.

Hey, how was hunting? It's in the bag.

Where's Stephen?

Hasn't he gotten back yet?

Well, we were playing hide -and -seek. I
thought he was headed for here.

Oh, no. I hope he hasn't gotten lost.

I doubt it.

Oh, don't worry. Uncle Martin will find
him.

Uh -oh.

What's the matter?

Trouble. Hey, did you hear about the
kid?

What kid?

There's a boy stuck halfway up the top
of the mountain.

Stephen!

kids stuck up on a mountain?

Steven! That's my brother up there.
You've got to get him down.

How? There's no way to reach him.

Well, you've got to do something. You
can't just let him stay there.

Look, lady, I'm a plumber, not a
mountain climber.

Don't worry. My wife went to get help.

Boy, a great help you turned out to be.

You know, we may be a backward planet,
but at least we don't have to take

care of our kids. There's no problem.
You're going to climb up there and get

him. You know, you ought to be ashamed
of yourself. I mean, letting a little

climb like that, hundreds and hundreds
of feet up.

I'm going to what?

You're going to be a hero, especially in
Jennifer's eyes.

Your name will be a household word.
Yeah, just like Humpty Dumpty.

Now, Uncle Martin, I can't climb up that
mountain. I'm terrified of heights.

I get dizzy looking at tall girls.

Remember my levitator?

If I turn that on you, it'll be
impossible for you to fall.

It will? Climbing that mountain will be
like going up a flight of stairs.

Well, I have news for you. That makes me
dizzy, too.

Now, show me how that levitator works. I
left it at the apartment.

But I'll take Jennifer's car, and I'll
be back before... Oh, now, wait a

I haven't promised anything.

I'll be back... Damn, poor Stevie.

He must be terrified.

Oh, hon, well, look, don't worry about
it. It's gonna be all right.

Well, come on, hurry up!

Levitator.

Levitator. Where did I put my levitator?

Human beings, 0 .1.

Animals, 0 .8.

Material objects, 0 .2.

Ah, testine, testine.

Where's your uncle?

Oh, hon, he'll be here soon. Don't
worry.

All right, come on, boy. Uncle Martin,
I've had a lot of time to think

and to look.

And that's one heck of a steep mountain.

With this little jewel, gravity doesn't
stand a chance. You couldn't fall if you

wanted to.

Show me.

All right, little hero.

Up you go. Oh, Uncle Martin, I... Just a
couple of feet.

Huh?

Oh.

Well, okay.

Well, now what? I don't feel a thing.

Try to jump down.

Hey, it works.

Look, Uncle Martin, no hands.

See what I mean?

You'll make Sir Hillary look like a
groundhog. Yeah, how about that? Well,

on, let's go. Put it in high.

If you don't look down, you won't get
dizzy.

And don't make it look too easy.

Don't worry about me.

Just don't forget to keep your eyes on
me, that's all. Well, let's go.

the matter is some kind of nut come down
off of there.

Tim, what are you doing?

It's okay. I'm going up after Steve.

You'll both be killed.

Oh, don't worry. I've had more trouble
on the escalator.

Mr. O 'Hara, do something.

I'm doing all I can.

Don't let go, Steve.

Hang on. That a boy. I'm coming. Don't
worry.

Did you ever let him do it?

Jennifer, Jennifer, will you please stop
worrying?

He'll bring the boy back in great shape.
I give you my personal guarantee.

There he is.

Gotcha. Come on.

Tim.

Tim, come back.

Oh, don't worry, Uncle Martin. I'll be
careful.

Boy, is he a showman.

Okay, Hot Rod, let's see how fast you
can do 30 days. Wait, wait, you can't.

Leave him alone.

What's up, officer? What did he do?

What did he do?

I'll tell you what he did.

He, uh... He, uh... He, uh...

Hey, Joe.

What did he do?

He, uh... I don't know.

I'm sorry, Mac.

Hey, what's that guy doing up there?

My little brother's stuck on a ledge and
he's going after him. He'll break his

neck. Hey, Joe, call headquarters and
tell them we gotta rescue Scott here

away. Right.

That Martin. Trying to make it look
tough.

Oh, boy.

Hey, Tim, it's high up here.

Hang on, Stevie.

I'm almost there.

You all right?

I'm scared, Tim.

You're a favorite with me, aren't you?
Oh, heck no. I'm going to take you down

on my back.

Don't make me, Tim. We'll both fall off.
Oh, we'll be okay, Stevie. Don't worry

about it.

Boy, you sure managed to climb awful
high.

Come on now. Hop on my back. Get a good
grip and hang on, huh?

Get this leg over here.

Attaboy.

Attaboy. Now hold on tight, okay?

You all set?

Okay. Take a good grip.

Okay,

Uncle Martin. Put it in reverse.

I still can't figure out why I grabbed
that guy.

What'd he do?

I don't know.

Oh, come on, Uncle Martin. Cut it out,
will you?

What?

Oh, nothing. You just hang on, okay,
Stevie?

Damn, my armpit.

Oh, well, how'd you like to hop off and
walk?

Hey, we're almost there.

Either way you scoot up and down
mountains, anybody would think you came

Mars. You don't, do you?

No, but I've got connections.

Well, I'm not sure, but you're off to a
very good start.

That was terrific.

Greatest thing I've ever seen. Well,
thank you very much. It was nothing,

really.

Uncle Martin?

Uncle Martin, I can't tell you why that
was just... Stupendous.

Why to conquer that mountain with raw
nerve and grit?

Oh, well, now, look, I wasn't that
great, you know, but I've been for you

this, uh... What happened to that?

What didn't happen to it? It's been
broken more times than a Russian

When did this happen?

Right after you started your climb.

You see, you didn't need any help.

All you had to do was to try a little
bit.

As one of your great philosophers said,
wondrous things occur when man and

mountain meet.

Tim?

Tim?

All right, all right. Stand back,
everybody. Stand back. Give him a little

Mr. O 'Hara, thank goodness you're home.
Could you give me a hand with Tim? He's

had an accident.

Accident?

Tim, what happened to you?

Oh, it's all my fault, Mr. O 'Hara. He
was helping me put up the kitchen

curtains and he... I fell off the stool.

Wondrous things happen when man and
woman meet.
