All language subtitles for Lost in Space s02e10 The Curse Of The Cousin Smith

Last week, as you recall, we left Will
and Penny peacefully birdwatching,

unaware that high above them, a passing
spaceship was about to hurl an

incredible visitor down upon their
forgotten planet.

Hold it. This looks like a good place.

Nothing.

Here, let me look for a while. You just
take down the description. I'll do the

birdwatching. It's not fair. I always
get the dull job.

Look, I'm the man around here, and men
give the orders.

Just because you tried to shave this
morning doesn't mean you're a man. Why,

look at you. All you managed to cut off
is a big hunk of skin.

Look, I told you I was just practicing.
I didn't know there was a blade in the

razor. Why didn't you take the time to
look, silly?

Every time I let you come along with me,
it's the same old story. Nag, nag, nag.

Well, if you'd let me use the binoculars
once in a while, the habit pattern

would be different. The habit pattern
would be different. Oh, listen to her.

Why don't you let me use the glasses? My
eyes are just as good as yours are.

Because you exaggerate everything,
that's why.

The neck is angular with a gentle pink
band running around its base.

The legs are slender, graceful, with a
delicate... Sounds more like you're

describing a fashion show than a bird
specimen.

You're just jealous because I have a
better command of words than you do.

Baloney, my vocabulary of words is just
as good as yours.

It is not.

You want a... I bet, yeah.

If you'll permit me to speak, both of
you have an excellent command of the

English language.

However, if you do not contain
yourselves, you will frighten off a

which has just arrived.

Where? I don't see anything.

A few feet to the right of a small tree.

Oh, isn't it beautiful?

All right, well, I'm ready. We've
already cataloged that one. It's a plump

-bellied Dr. Smith's sapsucker.

But I don't understand.

Here's a golden -tailed Dr. Smith line
dotty and a Dr. Smith bow finch. An

explanation is simple.

Dr. Smith names all the specimens which
he discovers after himself.

That's why I don't ask him to come with
me anymore.

Otherwise, every bird on this planet
would have Dr. Smith as part of his

That spaceship, they're throwing
something out of it. Come on, Will, we'd

get back to the Jupiter II.

It's luggage, trunks, and suitcases.
Warning!

Warning! Warning!

Approaching danger.

Will!

Will! Are you hurt?

No.

The parachute on that trunk didn't open.

Oh, I see.

The robot. He saved my life. Will!

For you, I would have been killed.

I have been programmed to protect
others.

I only performed as required.

Also, you are my friend.

And you're mine.

Hey, I wonder what's in this trunk.

There's one way to find out. Let's open.

I wonder who they belong to.

Over there.

Come on.

I hope he's not badly injured.

Computations reveal no serious injuries.

He's probably just stunned from the
fall.

Are you all right? We're fine, sir. But
I'm not too sure about him.

We saw the spaceship as it passed
overhead.

He must have parachuted out of it. All
these things must belong to him.

Seems to be coming, too.

I wonder what he's doing here.

Well, at least he looks pleasant enough.
Not like some horrible, growling

monster.

No.

No!

What's wrong, Dr. Smith?

Oh, no!

It can't be!

It doesn't be!

He's alive!

What's the matter with Smith?

Oh, he looked absolutely terrified.

How do you feel? He probably doesn't
understand our language.

Of course I understand English, young
man.

Who are you, sir?

Have no fear, my good people.

Thank you.

Oh, would you like some more coffee?
Thank you.

There we are.

A delectable repast, Mrs. Robinson. You
have made a new man of me. Oh, well, I'm

so glad you enjoyed it, Mr. Smith.

Colonel Jeremiah Beauregard Smith, in
point of fact, my dear, though you must

call me Jeremiah.

Well, I will.

We have a Dr. Smith with us.

Yes, indeed. A very common, though
distinguished name throughout the

Virtually none of them belong to my
particular branch of the family,

Oh.

Delicious aroma of well -brewed coffee.
I haven't tasted this delightful

beverage since I was on the planet
Tauron.

Is that where you're from, Colonel?

Well, no, no, no. Just another one of
those places touched upon during my

wandering. Well, from what you tell us,
Colonel, you do a great deal of moving

about.

I'm an extensive traveler, you might
say, Major.

I'm a citizen of the universe, ever in
quest of new sights and sensations.

Well, I'm afraid you made a mistake by
coming here. There isn't much to see or

do. Oh, not at all, my dear. Allow me to
say, no matter where you are, life is

just as exciting as you make it.

Your arrival here, Colonel, seems to
have stirred up Dr. Smith.

I can't imagine why.

By the way, where is he? I'm most
anxious to meet him.

I sent Will and Fanny to his cabin to
roust him out. He should be here at any

moment. I can't tell you what a pleasure
it is to engage in conversation with

such intelligent, friendly people.

You still haven't explained, Colonel,
how you happened to end up on this

wasn't exactly an accident. You see, I
heard there were Earth people on this

planet, and being homesick for the faces
of my own kind, I arranged to pay you a

little visit.

Well, Will saw your arrival through his
binoculars. He said that the way that

your trunks and suitcases came flying
out of the spaceship, it really looked

though they'd been thrown overboard.

What an extraordinary imagination!

Yeah, well, here come the two youngsters
now, I do believe.

Where's Dr. Smith?

Fuses come out of his quarters. And he
says he's going to stay there until

Colonel Smith leaves.

He sure was acting strange. He called
Colonel Smith all sorts of terrible

Well, what puzzling behavior.

Well, I wouldn't worry about it,
Colonel. Dr.

Smith's behavior is always puzzling.
Say, does anybody realize what time it

Yes, it is getting late.

I suggest we all turn in.

I'm sorry, Colonel, that the Jupiter II
hasn't any extra sleeping

accommodations, but, uh... Well, perhaps
you'd like to try these? Please don't

distress yourself, Professor.

The night is fine, and the heavens are
sprinkled with stars.

I shall be more than comfortable in my
sleeping bag.

All right, then. We'll see you in the
morning.

Pleasant dreams to you all. Good night,
Colonel.

Good night, Colonel.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night. Sleep well, all of you.

Yes.

Sleep well.

Especially you, Dr.

Zachary Smith.

That is if you can.

there cooking in the galley, but
whatever it is.

Burning.

Burning?

Fire!

I'm on fire!

Oh,

John. Get the children outside, darling.
Yes, I will.

Oh, dear.

I shall never survive this excitement.
Never. My heart.

Something wrong?

Go away!

What a strange fellow he is.

alarm of some sort.

Well, Professor Robinson and Major West
will take care of it, no doubt.

Was that Dr. Smith I saw running out?

It was indeed. Poor fellow came whomping
out of there like he was pursued by a

horde of demons.

He must really be shook up to go out
alone.

Poor Dr. Smith.

Is the fire out?

There wasn't any.

Just a lot of smoke.

The release valve in one of the
compression units must have slipped.

I thought you checked those out a couple
of days ago. I did.

You know, something told me there wasn't
anything serious going on.

In any event, Oh, swell it ends well,
isn't it?

Not for Dr. Smith, it isn't. He's
wandering in the wilderness somewhere.

I think we should go out and find him.

No, Don and I'll do that.

Now, why don't you all just come back to
bed, huh?

Professor Robinson, I find that I have
mislaid my sleeping bag.

Until Dr. Smith returns, I wonder, would
you have any objection by using his

quarters?

Well, I don't have any objections, but
Dr.

Smith might.

Oh, I'm sure he would.

How do you know that?

Well, I... Major West, because blood is
thicker than water.

And Zachary and I are...

Oh, well.

Oh, I'm sorry, darling. I'm a little
beat this morning. Well, after having

out half the night looking for Dr.
Smith, I shouldn't wonder.

Good morning, Jeremiah.

Good morning. A delightful morning, is
it not?

Colonel? I'm sorry you've missed
breakfast, but I'll fix you some.

Don't trouble yourself, dear lady. I
should just eat twice as much for lunch.

Is my dear cousin about?

No, he hasn't come back to camp yet.

Oh, well, I do so hope nothing happened
to him.

I do hope he hasn't fallen off a cliff
or been attacked by some ferocious,

hungry beast.

Colonel, why hadn't you told us that you
and Smith were cousins?

Well, now, Professor, I guess I may as
well confide in you. The fact is,

and I had a difference of opinion some
years ago, trifling matter, but he never

forgave me.

And I was reluctant to reveal our
relationship until I was sure how he was

to receive me.

Well, that's understandable.

By the way, Colonel, Don and I are
installing a new transistor unit in the

spaceship. We could use some help.

How I would should my to give you
assistance.

But unfortunately, my parachute drop
yesterday agitated an old spinal injury.

Oh, really?

Well, your cousin has back trouble, too.

Yes, unfortunately, it's an hereditary
characteristic of the entire family.

Of course. Well, I shall see you good
people for lunch.

Fine.

Well, there without doubt goes a truce,
men.

Oh? How can you tell?

How can I tell?

By the violent version of the word,
that's how.

You're diligently applying yourself, I
see, William.

Hi, Colonel Smith.

Don't let me disturb you from your
efforts.

Want to do some gardening?

No, thank you. I prefer to be a
spectator rather than a participant.

It's sort of fun to help things grow. No
doubt, no doubt.

Quaint, too.

Very picturesque.

I bet you can't wait to talk to your
cousin. You are so right. I look forward

our meeting with the greatest... With
anticipation.

You sure are a lot like your cousin,
sir.

Well, of course, we spent a great deal
of time together as children, although I

must confess I was always vastly the
more intelligent of the two.

I'm glad you're here now. Dr. Smith
needs family around him. Yes, he does

indeed, and there are very few of us
Smiths left, you know. As a matter of

Zachary and I are the last of our
illustrious line.

Oh, that's too bad, but at least you
still have each other.

So true.

Located Dr. Smith.

You have?

Where did he take me to him at once? I
beg of you.

Is he all right? Dr. Smith is physically
sound, but his mental attitude leaves

much to be desired.

Oh, that poor dear man. I have arrived
at just the opportune moment.

He really needs me.

Dr. Smith takes the opposite view. I
have been told to keep you away from him

all costs. What?

Are you sure that's what he said?
Positive.

I have computed Dr.

Smith's attitude toward his cousin.

It consists of suspicion, distrust,
contempt, repugnance, and extreme fear.

That's nonsense.

Take me to him at once, I demand it. I
insist.

My answer is negative.

How dare you? How dare you?

How dare he keep me from my cousin? Let
me talk to the robot, sir. Maybe I can

change his mind.

Very well, William.

You talk to him. You go ahead and talk
to him.

To wear?

Sock.

Toothbrush.

Vitamins.

Shaver. We are missing something very
important.

Dr. Smith specifically asked for it.

Hot water bottle.

Good. When Will brings the sandwiches
and thermos bottle, I will deliver the

basket to Dr. Smith.

I'll go see if they're ready.

I met you.

I always hated people more than
anything.

Oh, now, now, what's the matter?

By the long face, is something wrong?

Everything is wrong. That ridiculous
robot refuses to take me to my cousin,

Zachary. Oh, well, don't worry about it.
Dr. Smith is just going through one of

his difficult periods.

I understand, Miss Robinson.

It's just knowing my beloved cousin is
so near and yet beyond my reach.

Look, why don't you just sit down here
and let me cut you a nice slice of this

good cream pie?

Really, I couldn't. My stomach is just
too full up with despair.

Well, at least you differ from Dr. Smith
in that respect. You know, I really

think the cream pie is his favorite
dessert.

Is that a fact?

Mm -hmm.

Well, now, if Muhammad cannot go to the
mountain, he's got to send somebody in

his place.

I beg your pardon? Just an old family
saying.

Mrs. Robinson, how would you like to do
me an inestimable favor?

What's that?

Would you let me have that pie?

But you just said you weren't hungry.

Not for me, for my cousin.

As a token of the deep affection I hold
for him.

Well, you most certainly can have it.

Words cannot express my gratitude.

I think I'm just going to go and put a
little message in it for him.

All right.

Where are you, my little friend? There
you are.

Not yet, you fool.

We're going to just tuck you under
there.

Here

we

go.

To Cousin Smith, from Cousin Smith, with
the compliments of Cousin Smith.

Hi there. I was afraid I'd missed you.

Well, we're leaving now, sir.

And you are not allowed to come with us.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, but surely

there's nothing to prevent my sending my
cousin a little present.

That's very nice of you, sir.

Basically, I'm a very kind of man,
William.

Beware of strangers bearing gifts.

Shut up, you. Who cares what you think?
Now just watch out that oaf don't drop

my pie.

We'll be careful. Is there anything
you'd like me to tell Dr. Smith for you?

Well, no, thank you, William. I believe
my pie will eloquently express my true

feelings. All right. Come on, robot.

we have here an ordinary deck of playing
cards.

Let's just see if we can't teach them a
few little tricks.

Watch closely.

Remember, the hand is quicker than the
eye.

Oh, my.

That's great.

Very good. Look at that.

Oh, where'd they go?

Well, now I wonder where they did.

Let's see if we can find them.

Maybe we've got one here.

Oh, look at that.

And another one for you.

And one for Mrs. Robinson.

Oh, that's marvelous.

And one for me.

The eighth page.

Oh, marvelous.

What else can you do, Colonel Smith?

Oh, now, my talents are very limited,
Judy.

Why don't you show us the one where the
dice come up seven every time?

What?

Oh, now, I don't think that really
interests your mother.

I have something else, however, that
might just amuse you.

I have here three little cones and a
little red ball.

Well, isn't that the old shell game,
Jeremiah?

Yes, ma 'am. Oh, I always thought that
was dishonest.

Oh, not the way I play it.

Little red ball, you tell me. The middle
one.

Right you are. I told you I was an
amateur.

Now, Miss Robinson, let's try just once
again.

And this time, Miss Robinson, you tell
me.

Where is the little red ball?

Um, I think it's under that one.

And so it is.

Let's try once more. And this time, why
don't we have a little wager just to

make things sporty, huh?

Well, well, what have we here, Colonel?

What about the Colonel's playing that
old childhood game, button, button,

got the button?

Where do you think it is, Dad?

Yes, let's have the professor decide.

And whatever you decide, Professor, I'm
going to bet you roll.

You think so, huh?

It's under the right -hand cone.

I saw it.

No, darling, it's in his hand.

I saw it, too.

Colonel?

Oh, shucks.

Well, you see, you can cheat some of the
people some of the time. And the rest

of the people, you've got to cheat some
other time.

Come on now, that's enough fun and games
for now.

Let's go have some dinner. That's all it
was, Mr. Robinson, just a little fun

and games.

Well, there you are, my mechanical
friend.

Did you deliver my pie?

As instructed, I presented it to Dr.
Smith.

Excellent, excellent.

And Dr. Smith sent you back a message.

Yes. Here it is.

Yes.

He also sent you back this.

Feet to your stuff.

Well, now whatever in the world could be
in here?

shall never be the same. Where'd the
explosion come from?

I have come close to being done in by a
pie.

And it is all my cousin Zachary's fault.
He's doing... You knew that pie was

loaded. He's done some strange things in
his time, Colonel, but he's never

resorted to violence before.

There is an explanation. It all goes
back to great -aunt Maud Smith and

many, many... long years ago.

Dr. Smith never mentioned any of his
relatives to me. This information was

revealed when Dr. Smith was dictating
his memoirs to me a few months ago.

Just who is Great Aunt Maud?

She was the matriarch of the Smith clan.

Rich, arrogant, untrustworthy, a true
Smith.

Yes, indeed.

That charming little old lady lived to
be 110.

I thought she would never pass on to her
just reward.

Her last will and testament provided
that the sole surviving Smith would

her entire fortune.

Millions, millions.

Sole surviving heir.

Tell me something, Colonel.

Just how many members of the Smith
family are still around?

Unfortunately, the great dynasty of the
Smith clan has dwindled down to a

precious two.

Sure, Smith's trying to get rid of his
cousin Jeremiah so he can get Aunt Marge

millions. I don't believe it. Dr. Smith
may be a lot of things, but he's not a

murderer. How little you know the real
Dr.

Smith, William.

One thing still puzzles me.

Why did he run away?

That was a trick.

Knowing my affection for him, he knew
I'd follow.

So he thought when he got me alone,
he'd... No, no, no.

Somehow this still doesn't add up.

And until it does, Colonel, I advise you
to stay as far away from your cousin as

you possibly can.

Oh, Professor.

Oh, forgive me, my friend, but you know
the affection I have for my cousin.

Zachary has bitten off a little bit more
than he can chew.

Hello there.

Yeah.

Is Little Joe in his residence?

Who is speaking?

Would you please tell him that Colonel
Jeremiah Smith would like the honor of a

few words with him?

Yeah, just a minute.

Thank you so much.

Now, Zachary, have I got a present for
you. Have I got a little something to

tickle your heart.

Yes.

Little Joe?

Yes.

Well, this is Jeremiah Smith, little
Joe.

Where have you been? You owe me money,
you bum.

Now, never mind that.

I have got a deal, little Joe.

Have I got a deal?

I tell you, it's millions.

Millions. That's what you told me the
last time.

Yeah, yeah, I know, but this time we
can't miss.

This guy is my own cousin, little Joe.

And all you got to do is send me a
gambling machine.

Nothing doing, I ain't interested.

But it is your file.

It's money in the back. Let me explain
you the setup.

My cousin's... Forget it, Smith, and
don't call me again. I'm a busy man.

A golden opportunity, and that fool
refuses to seize it.

Well, all right then.

If little Joe ain't gonna help, I'm just
gonna have to find a way to eliminate

Zachary by myself.

I'm gonna ask Dr. Smith if he put a bomb
in that pie.

He'll tell me the truth.

It is my opinion neither Dr. Smith nor
his cousin is overly honest.

Warning!

Danger! Where? What is it?

You may come from behind those rocks,
Colonel Smith.

Big mouth.

What are you doing here, sir?

He has been following us since we left
the campsite.

We're going to see Dr. Smith. Wouldn't
it be dangerous for you to meet him?

Very true, William.

But my feelings for Zachary are stronger
than my fears.

I have made a decision.

I have decided to renounce my claim to
Auntie Maud's fortune.

Zachary can just have it all.

That's very nice of you.

My cousin's friendship means more to me
than all the gold in the universe.

What did you do that for, sir?

One never knows when some hidden danger
may make its appearance, William. It's

best to be prepared.

I hope the same applies to Dr. Smith.

Shall we begin now?

feet are killing me. I don't believe I
can walk another step.

It's not much farther.

Dr. Smith has taken refuge in a cave
just beyond those rocks ahead.

Yee -haw.

So now we finally gonna meet at last.

Well, I can hardly wait. Dr.

Smith. Dr.

Smith. You have visitors.

You idiot. You want to ruin everything.

Your dear cousin Jeremiah is here.

There he is now.

And that was no accident.

Jeremiah's lucky to escape with his
life.

Two grown men acting like kids.

You know, having one Smith around is bad
enough, but having two...

That could make life impossible. Oh, you
can say that again. Every time a door

opens, I'm afraid it's going to explode.

You know, John, I've got a suggestion.

Why don't we let them do what they want
to do?

What? Sure, why not? The world's full of
Smiths. Two less won't be noticed.

Now, this whole thing's ridiculous.

Where's Jeremiah now?

He's in Smith's quarters, licking his
wounds.

All right, let's get him out of here.

What have you got in mind?

Well, that Morty's will has kept the
Smiths divided long enough.

It's about time we did something to
resolve that situation.

Mr. Robinson, you are leading me to my
grave.

Who knows what that fiendish cousin of
mine might be planning on next, huh?

We are going to bury the hatchet. A
peaceful solution has already been

attempted. As I remember, there were ten
of us cousins alive at that time.

Oh, what happened? What happened?

I can only tell you it made the St.

Valentine's Day massacre look like a tea
party.

Now, you'd better let me do all the
talking. He may not want to come out if

knows you're with me. This is a mistake,
my friend.

Dr. Smith.

It's Professor Robinson.

Come on out. I want to speak with you.

Are you sure it's safe?

Absolutely.

Give a damn dog against that monster.

No! He's here!

There's no danger.

How little you know.

Now, stop it. We're going to have a
conference. A peace conference.

Your cousin has agreed.

I told you it's going to be
unreasonable.

Very well, Professor. You may release
me.

So, Jeremiah, at long last we stand face
to face. That's right.

You've put on a little weight, haven't
you, cuz?

A lot of gray hair, too.

And you, dear cuz, have never been a
prize package.

You have aged considerably.

Now we can dispense with the exchange of
compliments, gentlemen.

We're here to discuss Great Aunt Maud's
will.

She always meant to leave her fortune to
me. That's a lie.

I was always her favorite nephew.

She always meant to leave her money to
me.

After all, who was that her bet had
been?

You were. You were.

Only to still be alive, one for you. I
wouldn't be a bit surprised if there

weren't a little foul play involved.

Are you accusing me?

You gave her the medicine, remember? And
right after that, she had the relapse?

The coroner's inquest found me innocent.

A foul miscarriage of justice. I've
known you were guilty for years.

Attacking, murderer, monster.

Take that back or I'll take you apart.

I thrashed you when we were young souls
and I can do it again? I've bloodied

your nose and I can do that again. I
want to live for you.

I'll kill you.

Shut up.

Life of ease.

Millions to do with as I please.

Why, women, so.

And all that stands in my way is one
puny smith.

If only little Joe would help me.

He got to help me.

He just got to.

Little Joe, it's me, Jeremiah Smith.

So it's you again.

Now, don't hang up, Little Joe. You just
got to listen to me.

Okay, what's the caper? Oh, you always
was a real gentleman, Little Joe.

Never mind the buttering up job. Get to
the point.

Yeah, sure, sure, sure. Well, now,
here's the thing. I am due to inherit a

deal of money.

Unfortunately, however, my cousin is an
obstacle.

the gambler's union doesn't allow us to
knock anybody off.

Unless he refuses to pay off on an
honest gambling debt.

That's a different situation.

Besides, your cousin doesn't owe me
anything.

But he will. He will, little Joe. All
you gotta do is send down a gambling

machine because Zachary is a compulsive
gambler. That means he can't help

himself. Keep talking.

He plays the machine.

He loses.

He can't pay. You eliminate him. I ain't
hurt.

Auntie Morty's fortunate I take care of
you.

Sounds all right. But I'm warning you,
Smith.

This had better work.

This one just can't miss, I'm telling
you.

Okay.

In a short while, Auntie Morrie's
fortune is going to be mine.

A life of ease.

Millions to do with as I please.

And all that stands in my way is one
rather puny myth.

Well, Zachary, what do you plan to do
about it?

Think. Apply your brilliant brain to the
problem.

I must be hearing things.

Eight is the number I feel coming up.
Yes, sir.

That's what I'm going to play.

Man bets on eight.

The gentleman wins again.

Jeremiah, can I play too?

Why, sure. Just sit right there and make
yourself comfortable.

But I don't have any money.

Oh, well.

Your credit's good.

It is?

Oh, love.

What number shall I bet on? Let me see.
There are 180 days until Christmas,

divided by 12, the number of months of
the year, multiplied by the time of day,

and subtract 100.

Yes, that is the winning number, number
nine.

The gentleman wins.

The house closes.

Zachary, this is our lucky day.

I think you're right, Jeremiah. I can
feel it in my bones.

I think I shall play number six. This
time. Number six, number six, I feed you

all right. I'm going to play number six
likewise.

Splendid. What are we waiting for?
Number six.

The gentleman wins. The house loses.

Yes.

There you go, cousin.

Rich, rich, rich, rich, rich.

I told you you would be.

Yeah. Money, money, money. You have to
be kind of hard work winning all this

money. Oh, money, money, money, money,
money, money, money.

I love all this money, money, money,
money, money.

You'll lose.

Well, now, how about that?

We lose.

Well, it's kind of nice to just thrive.

I don't like it.

Well, we won't lose much, I don't
suppose.

We had better not, Jeremiah.

become quite accustomed to all of this
lovely, lovely money.

The gentleman moves again.

Again? I just can't understand that.

Oh, I need a number. I need a good
number. A number.

Seven. Seven, Jeremiah. What do you say
to seven? Seven's fine. You go and play

seven.

I'm sorry, gentlemen.

You've reached the end of your credit.
Oh!

One more time.

You've got to give us a chance to get
even.

Just once more, that's all we ask.

House rules, gentlemen. No more credit.

I have a wristwatch. Will you take a
wristwatch?

This is not a pawn shop.

Have you anything else to find him? No,
I don't. Yes, I do.

I'm part owner of a spaceship. It's
worth a fortune.

I accept your wager. Make your bet.

Oh, dear, dear machine.

Be good to me. I need a number. A really
good number. A very good number. Number

five. That's number five.

Another loser.

We are wiped out.

Now, we've got to go on playing, cousin.

You know that. I have a feeling we're
going to win.

I tell you what.

We play our inheritance.

We bet the money Andy Maude left us.

That's brilliant, Jeremiah. It's a
brilliant idea. We'll have twice as much

money. Why, sure.

You pick the number.

No, it's your turn. Besides, you were
always the lucky one.

How does 007 strike you?

007?

Absolutely perfect.

The number is 007. You pull the lever.

No, I just couldn't, cousin. I'm
completely exhausted.

We'll pull it together.

Spend it.

And we have another loser.

No!

Cousin, we are ruined.

Gone. All gone. I can't believe it. Do
you wish to continue playing, gentlemen?

Oh, no, no. We have had it.

Then you must settle your account.

Oh.

I'm afraid you'll have to wait just for
a little while. You see, we do not get

Aunt Maud's money until only one Smith
is left.

And that will be a long time from now.

That's right.

There's still two of us, and we're both
healthy.

Oh, very healthy.

What are you doing?

Since I cannot collect my money while
both of you are alive, one of you must

eliminated. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but not
me, him.

We made a deal, remember?

Jeremiah, you're a beast!

You call little Joe, he'll explain.

I tell you... No!

Don't leave me!

Then I shall eliminate you.

No, no, no.

I'll pay. I'll pay. Just let me be.

Jeremiah. Jeremiah, I'm stuck.

Jeremiah, I'm stuck.

Jeremiah, I'm stuck.

Jeremiah, I'll pay you back. I'll pay
you back. I'll pay you back.

I'll pay you back.

I'll pay you back.

I think you're going. There's no time
for explanations. We're all in deadly

danger. Do you mind explaining what this
is all about?

The machine is coming. We're all going
to be destroyed.

What machine? We must arm ourselves.

Look, I'm still waiting for an
explanation.

We're innocent victims of a mechanical
thief.

A diabolical monster has cheated us of
our inheritance. And now it wants to

one of us so it can be paid off.

I demand to be paid.

Come forward or I'll destroy the
spaceship.

And it can do it too.

Why don't you go out there and just give
yourself up, Zachary? Then the rest of

us could survive.

You got me into this. You make the
sacrifice.

We're all going now, gentlemen.

Well, we'll get my coat on anyway so I
can die with a little dignity.

All right, gentlemen.

For the last time, I warn you, pay me.

One of you must be destroyed.

I'm too young to die. My whole life is
ahead of me.

I'm young and he is, and I've got more
to live for.

Liar! It's a lie. He's the eldest.

You have gambled and lost.

Now I want to collect.

We'll pay. We'll pay, but you must give
us some more time.

That's right.

Until one of us inherits Andy Moore's
fortune.

Now I understand.

Dr. Smith has also gambled and lost his
portion of the spaceship.

His portion of it is now mine.

Forgive me, Professor. I didn't know
what I was doing.

Which myth shall I eliminate?

Just a minute.

How about giving them a chance to get
even? They have nothing left to wager.

Well, there must be some other way to
resolve this. I am not programmed to

resolve anything.

Only to gamble, forcibly collect, or
destroy those refusing to pay up.

All right.

Would you be willing to gamble against
me?

Your friendly universal gambling machine
is always ready to accept any kind of

action. What is your wager?

I'll put up the rest of the spaceship to
cover their losses.

John! The bet is acceptable to me.

Select your number, sir, and pull the
lever. I don't think I care for those

odds. Playing against a computer at its
own game.

Perhaps this time we'll try my game.

Nothing was said of this in your wager.
You said you'd take any kind of action.

And you do want to get paid, don't you?
Well, very well.

What gambling game shall we play?

I'll get it.

John, you're not going to risk gambling
away the spaceship, are you?

I can't let the machine kill Jeremiah O.
Smith, can I?

What are you going to do?

I've got to find him first.

Ah, here we are.

Now, it's really very simple.

I have in my right hand three cups.

In my left, a little ball.

I'm going to place the little ball under
one of the cups.

All you've got to do is tell me where it
is.

Seems easy enough.

All right, watch my hands closely.

Supposed to be loose.

Oh, shut up and think good. All right.

Take your pick.

The ball rests under the center cut. Are
you sure?

That is my decision.

Well, let's find out.

Oh! We're saved!

Saved! Die!

Well,

I've just been through one of the most
awful moments of my life.

Well, all of living is a gamble,
Maureen. Oh.

Oh, Professor Robinson, you were
wonderful. I had no idea you were so

at the games of chance.

Well, I'm not. I went to school with a
boy whose father owned a carnival. He

taught me how to work the shells.

Tell me, Professor, where is that little
old red bone?

Where do you think it is?

This end.

So I put it there.

Well, let's find out.

What?

Oh. Then it must be under the last one.

Of course it's under the last one.

Where else would it be?

I don't believe it. I don't believe
there was any ball under any shell.

How dare you make such an accusation
against me, sir?

He's right.

You cheated.

You say I did. I say I didn't.

Let's leave it at that.

Well, Cousin, I certainly got us out of
that one, didn't I?

Darling?

Yes?

Was the little ball really under the
last cup?

Maureen, there are some things that a
man must keep to himself.

That's one of them.

You may thank your lucky stars I
survived.

It was awful.

What was awful? Space monsters out
there, positively dreadful. I escaped

with the skin of my teeth.

Ah, my favorite comestible, how
thoughtful.

Baked ragout with mushrooms.

It appeared to me, sir, that you
deliberately moved that platter out of

reach. Well, it appears to me that you
were sent to bring in a cart of cobalt

off of the rocket tube. Now, where is
it?

I told you, there were space monsters
out there.

Correction. There were no space
monsters.

I was observing Dr. Smith. He was
sleeping.

He did no work.

I'll attend to you later, you infamous
informer.

Very well, Professor.

There were no space sponsors. I merely
decided that the menial task of grubbing

up ore was beneath my dignity.

Now, if you please, I'm famished.

No, you leave after you grub up that
ore.

Oh, John, can't it wait? It's his
favorite, and I fixed it especially for

No, darling, it's about time that the
good doctor developed a sense of

responsibility.

Very well, Professor.

I accept your ultimatum. Rather than
turn myself into a beast of burden, I

die of starvation.

No,

no, don't try to dissuade me. The die is
cast.

As of this very moment, I'm on a hunger
strike to the bitter end.

But before I begin, you surely wouldn't
begrudge me just one little crust of

bread, would you?

Go get the ore.

Just you wait.

My apologies, being forced into hard
labor. Indeed.

I brought you my dessert.

Oh, bless you, my boy, bless you.

Ah. Hmm.

Lovely, delicious.

You could have brought some coffee, too,
you know.
