This is a dollar. One dollar equals one fish.

Why?

- You asked me what money is, right? - Right. - Right.

Money is what you get when you work.

Remember the time the hydraulic fluid leaked into the moon pool.

- Slime in water, - Right.

Right. And what'd you do? You helped fix the leak. That's work.

Now, say for that work you get money and the money you get is $10.

Now, if$1 equals one fish, how many fish does $10 equal?

- Ten. - Right. Yeah.

30, say you want five fish. How many doHars do you need for that?

Don't need money. I go get fish.

Say you can't leave seaQuest to get fish,

Lucas gives me fish.

Say \ won't give you fish unless you give me money.

- Why? - Because that's the way the world works, Darwin.

- No money, no fish? - Right, exactly,

That sucks.

Darwin?

You keep your hands off my vocorder.

You're teaching Darwin things he doesn't need to know.

If he had hands, you'd teach him how to pick locks.

- Yeah? Hello. - Anthony? Where's Anthony?

What's that? What's he doing?

- Swimming, - Swimming? What for? Why?

Hey' you. You tell him to meet me at Buddy's.

You tell him that Nick has got trouble.

- You guys got any plans? - Well, busman's holiday.

Hey, patroHing for fun-body tans.

- And we got room on the skiff. - Cool, thanks.

- What's up with O'Neill? - No, he's skating on thin ice.

- Hey, look, give me 10. - You got it. - Ten! - You got it!

I'm very excited that you want to see my project.

When we get inside just stand still. Let your eyes adjust.

Entering climate-controlled facility, Ninety-five degrees, 90% humidity.

Please rehydrate at appropriate intervals.

It doesn't feel like a lab, does it?

Oh, it feels er nightfall in paradise.

Jasmine, tropical song birds.

Do the bird songs stimulate plant growth?

I don't know. I put them in here because they stimulate me.

And what about the moving light?

We're trying to duplicate photosynthetic light. Like in a rain forest.

Right underneath your feet here are thousands of succulent leaf plants.

In 200 square feet of water we raise enough lettuce

to cover half an acre of farmland.

Underwater colonies could be self-sustaining on this stuff forever-.

And famine. Just think of all the people in the world

who have to subsist on a handful of coarse grain

when they could have the pleasure of all these wonderful tastes.

Look, genus rubus, fragaria,

Pl v I 'T'

What?

I've never seen a man so enthusiastic about fruit and vegetables before.

Well, it's not just the produce.

It's the possibility of feeding the world.

- Is that all? - Isn't that enough? - It's more than enough.

I just wondered if it was all the reason you were so exuberant.

You trying to read my mind again?

No, maybe your heart.

What's the downside of being telepathic?

Sometimes I can read thoughts I'd rather not hear.

Crowds wear me out. And walls.

Some people can put up walls around their thoughts,

Usually it's telepaths.

You have a wall up right now.

What's wrong?

It's my wife, Carol,

She fought all her life for this kind of hydro-culture.

I guess I'm missing her.

Is this for her?

- Part of it. Yeah. - To keep her alive?

- A little, I suppose. - What about your life?

What is this Mam?

That's msfia mamas, walla! Muse.

- You sensing something? - An emotional disturbance in the water.

Sorry, I can't see through all that rabbit food.

- Permission to go, sir? - Permission granted.

- And don't come up this way ever again. - Yes, sir.

He's upset. I should

- Yeah. I've got to - Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, boy.

Who's Nick?

What's the difference?

- Nothing, he's in trouble. - When is he in anything else?

I wouldn't know He wants you to meet him at Buddy's.

- I tracked the call. I've got an address. - I know where Buddy's is.

H's never, "Just called to check in, kid. See how you're doing.

Miss you, pal."

- Oh, what? - Oh, that's why you're upset.

Oh, why?

Nick's your father. You're from a dysfunctional family.

He 5th early. Comes back to play dad when it suits him, not you.

That's why you caH him Nick.

Okay' so you're a genius. How did you figure that out?

'Cause I've been there.

I come from a broken home, too.

Then why are you so prissy?

I guess I come from a better class of failed relationships.

- Perfect. Come with me. - I've got enough to carry around with my own father.

He'll ask me to do something I shouldn't do. I need an excuse.

So you want me to be your excuse?

No. I want you to be my friend,

Yeah, okay. AH right.

Buddy lives in a tough neighborhood, so

"Buddy lives in a tough neighborhood." You're funny. You should change.

I should change? Change what? My appearance or my personality?

Your shirt. Wear something that's not screaming, "Mug me."

Here, I think these work, too,

Hello, Nathan,

- Doctor. - Your pulse is racing.

- Is there a crisis? - Yeah.

I looked into a pair of eyes today.

I mean, I've looked into these eyes before,

but today I fell in up to my lungs.

- You're experiencing infatuation, - I don't get infatuations,

I'm 20 years older than she is.

It's an infatuation, not a We commitment.

I feel very, very odd.

Odd or exhilarated?

- Odd. _ Why?

Thirty years ago, I dated her mother.

This situation is outside my parameters.

You need to speak to a human being.

I'm not close enough to any human being on this boat to discuss this.

That is a more serious problem than being infatuated.

Find one.

\ saw them. They were smooching and cooing in the hydroponics lab.

Kiss, kiss. The old man and Doctor Smith, were making out.

- It's okay. I'll wait. - No! We can make room. Come on.

No, I'm fine. I'm fine. I'll wait.

Mag-Lev engaged. Be seated to avoid injury. Next stop

Please watch your step. Board shuttle one at a time.

Hey, Dagwood. What are you doing laboring for, pal? We're on have.

- Labor is my life. - Now party's your life.

I got it all dialed in. You drive. Lucas pays.

You know how to get to the load out district?

Come on!

This is great.

- Okay, Nick, what is it? - Finally.

Anthony, you look good. Just like your mother.

- Who is that? A dagger? - He's my friend, What do you want?

- Who's the bean pole? - What is this, 20 questions? What do you want?

- Anthony, I'm in trouble. - You get caught cheating again?

- No, I didn't. - Yeah, sure.

A year ago he remarries my mother, which let's you know how nuts she is.

First thing he does is date the bar maid from his reception.

You get caught cheating for the umpteenth time,

- don't expect me to come bail you out. - Will you help me or not?

H.“

Fine!

Quit staring at me.

I imagine my father to be We you,

Only, with a brain.

Oh' phase. I'm surrounded over here.

I appreciate your coming, leave me alone.

- You'll really regret this. - I've regretted him for years.

Look, he's killing himself in there!

Maybe you should just try saying goodbye. Maybe try calling him Dad.

Maybe buy him a tie.

Okay, Dad, what is it?

I can't talk now.

Being watched.

- Will you help me or not? - I will or I won't.

- Either way, who else will you ask? - Listen, I got a box.

You must find it and destroy the contents,

- What's in the box? - It's not illegal.

- Well, that's a first. - It's not.

You must do this for me. Come here.

The pills that I got

- Yeah, in the playground - You are pathetic!

Hey, sweetness, do you mind? This is between me and my father,

- Did he tell you where he put them? - Put what? - My RU 268.

- What? - My RU 268. My Swiss oral cosmetics. My pills.

- Did he tell you where he put them? - Who are you?

- Marie. - Marie. Marie who?

Marie Piccolo.

Are we Greek?

Hey' Tony, what's going on here?

I don't know. I think this is Marie Piccolo.

My mother.

Your mother? Yeah, right.

Yeah, she's his mother.

- What are you thinking? - I think I need to sit down.

See, what did I tell you? You are violating the laws of nature.

I am trying to make the most out of myself!

- You okay? - Yeah.

Yeah. Your mother, Tony. I'm sorry. I had no idea.

Morn.

Tim.

M sorry. Pretty rude of me.

You're really absorbed in this painting.

Well, yeah.

Do you understand it?

Completely. It's about the taboo of shipboard romances.

Isn't that why there's shore leave?

Shore leave's generally for romancing someone you don't sail with.

- The girl in every port. - Or guy. Whichever.

But not the same guy and girl in every port.

If you're having second thoughts about our date

No, no, I'm having a great time.

It's just that I'm worried about what'll happen when we put to sea

Maybe we should just think about right now.

There's a rumor a red shipboard romance is brewing in the executive quarters.

Oh, yeah. I heard about that one.

Although' I couldn't go out with a woman who could read my mind.

Why?

She wouldn't want to.

I am in love!

Nice body!

Alone.

I am in love.

I want in. I want in.

I want in this club.

A $20 tab, $1.25 tip. Cheap sissy.

I don't want to die.

I don't want pain.

I don't want to die alone. God' please.

I don't want to die in a small room alone.

Not alone.

Nice body!

- I want in. - $1.25 tip. Cheap sissy.

- I don't want pain. - I want in this club.

- I don't want to die. - I am in love.

- Gentlemen. - Captain. - Captain.

Hey, Captain,

What do you think? Smith and the old man really got something going on?

- It's not our business. - True, but it's fun to speculate.

- Speculating's a great sport. - Listen, guys,

why don't we just focus on finding our own dates?

Why are we taking what Piccolo says seriously, anyway? Who listens to him?

This is nuts!

I am not buying it!

You're not my mother, because you're younger than me.

And you, you're a scam artist.

How low can you sink, trying to run a play past your own kid?

I just want my pills. Get me my pills. He told you where he put them.

- Get your own pills, lady. - I am not a lady, I am your mother!

Hey! I don't want her having no pills.

Look at her eyes, she thinks she's 25.

- \ look 25. - It's er putting aluminum siding on a building.

It looks nice outside, but inside there's rusty pipes.

- You had no right to take my pills. - They sound like they're married.

I know. Look at how good she looks.

- It's making me sick. - Good looks should please you.

I'm pleased. That's what's making me sick.

- I don't know how to dam with this - \ think they're bad for you.

Is this so bad for a 50 year old?

You want to know what's bad? You!

You who sit here like a smoldering heap of methane,

wasting away all these working hours in this tobacco den, killing yourself.

Why don't you get a real Job?

- Again with the job? - Again with the job!

- You must leave. - Shut up!

- Get out of there! Get - Hey! - You let her go,

Leave her alone! We're leaving. They're staying.

- I'll get your pills. - I'm going with you.

No! No' you're not.

Don't give her no pills.

Don't give her no pills!

Tony, please.

I want to be young!

Oh, yes. Very nice.

- Can I see? - It's not that nice, Ortiz. Stay the course.

Looks great from here,

No, no, no. It looks good from here, but not great-.

- What we want is great. - Well, how do you guys define great?

Great is not just shear physical excellence.

Great includes spiritual and intellectual excellence.

- Absolutely. - And you can see all that through the binoculars?

'O", Yeah! 'Yes!

- But do you know what's really, really great? - What?

Your driving.

I'm supposed to find a human being to talk to about my infatuation.

I haven't really talked to anyone since you've been gone.

Nick used to bring me here.

- Your dad used to bring you here. - Fine, my dad used to bring me here.

Pretty much reflects our relationship. Over here.

- You don't like your father? - Something like that.

I would love my father. If I could know him, I would love him.

You can love your father and not like him.

Which way is west?

You love your father and not like him?

All the time.

- It's better I don't have a father? - No. No.

But families and fathers and sons, and I guess even mothers and daughters,

can be difficult relationships to figure out.

If the Sigmund Freud Society would give it a rest, I could use a hand over here.

It's good digging.

We got a lab on seaQuest, right?

Yes, but we need trained personnel to work these systems.

It's computer technology, right? You're a computer genius, right?

- I must find out what these are. - No, we could get in a lot of trouble for this.

You've seen my mother? I'm already in trouble.

- Hey, Dagwood. - This is a swing? - Yeah, it is. Come on.

I've never been pushed on a swing.

Fathers must be good for that,

Guys, we've been at this for three hours.

- Hey, quality takes time. - The sun is setting!

If you're gonna panic, we'll never get anywhere,

No' no I passed panic an hour ago. What's wrong with those?

Not a thing. You see, it's not what's wrong, it's what's right.

- Exactly. - Thank you. - Looks all right to me.

- Hey, where you going? - What are you doing?

- I know what's going on. - Hey, where you going?

You're not looking for physical or spiritual or intellectual perfection!

As focused as you guys are on your careers,

you're looking for a bigger boat.

See you at the Captain's barbecue!

- You know' maybe he's right. - Yeah.

- Maybe we should be cruising the yacht club. - Good idea.

You drive.

Hey, how come I have to drive? Hey, Ford, how come I

The next showing of Key Largo in Activision will begin in 15 minutes.

Was that great, or was that great?

They don't leave anything to the imagination anymore.

I think I liked it better in Mack and white.

I thought it was great.

I take it that you thought it was great.

Look, my treat. What do you want?

- Oh, I don't know. - Two turtle sundaes. - Corning right up.

They used to seduce you into the story

with images and subtle story-telling techniques.

Now they' hurl debris at you and dare you to leave.

- It's a joyride. Thank you. - There's not much challenge in it.

- Didn't you get that from Salvador Dali? - Yes! Yeah!

That was spectacular!

The images were dear but subtle,

and they would sort of draw you into the painting-.

These are great.

Apparenfly everything is.

- What does that mean? - Nothing.

Only there seems to be a lot of great going on in your life.

I'm having a wonderful time. How is it?

- Great.

We should take some of these to the Captain's barbecue.

"We" That probably wouldn't be such a great idea.

- Why not? - You know.

Office romances.

We'll see each other there.

Are you ashamed to be seen with me?

No. I just don't think it's such a great idea.

I think we should stick with this great thing.

You don't have to be sarcastic.

- I was being silly. - You were being mean.

- I'm not being mean. - Yes, you were.

You've been mean ever since I dragged you into that theatre.

Absolutely.

No. If I told you

that your taste in culture was vapid and infantile'

that would be mean.

Where do we start?

Med school. I don't know how to work this stuff.

There must be manuals around here someplace

I think it's this one.

Spectrum analysis. Try to find a manual for this one!

Atomic spectrum analysis system on line.

What's spectrophotoelectric radiothorium?

- Hello. - Dr. Smith

Do you have any idea the effort it takes

- to earn an MD. and a PhD. by the time you're 25? - No, I

How many nights you have to say no to a good time

- because you have to read? - No.

1218. Do you know how single-minded you have to be

to earn the most coveted science position on the flagship of the fleet?

No. I know we're not supposed to be

Let me tell you

What's wrong with your mother?

She's taking these pills and they're doing weird things to her.

Everybody wants to be young. You shouldn't hold that against her.

Yeah, I know,

It would mean more to me if you said it out loud.

M sorry I told people about you and the Captain.

What did you tell them?

Just that you were alone in the hydroponics lab.

- And? - And, you know, in an embrace.

- A romantic embrace? - Well Yeah.

Did it ever occur to you that we were clinging to each other

because you practically knocked me m the water?

Yeah, it just seemed to me like there was romance in the room.

I was wrong?

I'll have to leave seaQuest because of this.

- Spectrum analysis complete. - That's ridiculous.

You don't have to leave seaQuest. It was a misinterpretation.

Now it's an unfounded rumor, You can change that.

Unfounded or not' it has the appearance of impropriety,

And the U.E.0. will see it as interfering with the Captain carrying out his duties.

Doctor Smith, I'm sorry, but what about my mother's pills?

Your mother will probably be okay. Just don't let her take any more.

I'll send this out to the U.E.0. and we'll have more information in the morning.

I'm very sorry.

I forgive you, Tony. Goodnight.

- Goodnight, Dr. Smith. - Goodnight, Dagwood,

Why does U.E.0. have to know about this stupid rumor?

Because everybody on the boat does. They'll find out.

I don't see a choice. I have to put in for a transfer.

Goodnight.

Yeah, goodnight.

Oh, Anthony, did you do it?

- Dad. - Did you take care of that thing?

- All done. - Thank God. Your mother wouldn't let me out of her sight.

- Do you know what you were giving her? - No, I guess it wasn't good.

Tony? Do you have my pills?

- No' Ma. I don't. - Honey, I need my piHs, please.

- They're killing you. - Your father is killing me!

- No. Marie' please. - Shut up!

Tony, honey, I need my pills, baby.

Ma, they're poison.

RU 268 was an insecticide, was developed as an insecticide.

- Did you know that? - No! I didn't know that!

Where did you get them?

- This guy said that women would love it. - Did he tell you she'd die for ii?

No, I swear.

This stuff bums your fat, and when your fat's gone it burns your muscle,

That's why you look so young. It's eating out your insides

and what's left is getting light around the bone.

Tony, I like the way people look at me.

Look at me, Ma. Look at me.

Look at the way I'm looking at you.

I know we don't talk much, but I need you to be old.

I Older than me.

I need you to be there tike a mother. Don't take my mother away from me.

Make sure she gets a physical. This is everything they know about the drug.

I love you, Ma.

Come on.

- She's right about you getting a job. - Okay.

Be nice if you called once in a while just to say hello.

I need a favor.

I want you to take this fine and run it over there so I can string these lanterns.

- How much? - How much?

- How much? - How much what?

- How much money? - You want money?

$10.

- Who taught you about money? - Lucas.

Why?

That's the way the world works.

Okay, That's it,

I'll do it myself.

Thanks. I hope you don't mind I came early.

- It's great. Want some coffee? - I'd love some. - Come on up.

- Cream and sugar? - Please.

Captain.

I'm submitting a request to transfer.

Wendy' why don't you come inside?

- Here you are. - 0h, thanks.

I want to show you something.

I'm the third generation of women in my family

to be in some kind of naval service.

It's a pretty unique family tradition. This is my grandmother.

You're forgetting, I've met her.

Oh, that's right, when you dated my mom.

Look at your mom, she's terrific.

- Look how straight her back is. - She's serious about it.

Both my mother and my grandmother were strong-willed

and stand-up-to-things tough.

I don't have that. I mean, I'm resolute in my own way,

but I expend a lot of energy trying to manage my sixth sense.

I know you and my mother were close.

And I thought with everything that you've been through

that maybe in that darkness of the lab

Maybe you saw my mother in me.

No' Wendy' no. It was you.

I lost a son when he was 21 years old.

Then I lost my wife, whom I love very much. She was my anchor.

The mistake I made was clinging to her memory

as if that were the anchor, the refuge.

I can't do that anymore.

You gave me a gift, Wendy,

You woke me up to the simple fact that I'm alive.

And having done that, you can't take a step back in your career

just because things are a little awkward now.

You're punishing yourself for something you didn't even do.

We can get past this.

You don't believe that.

Found us again, hey, Piccolo?

You know, a side effect of having gills is you get fish vision,

Your eyes see what's on the side of your head,

but whatever's straight in front of you, you're blind as a bat.

I'm dead.

Lucas, what does he think he's doing?

Dagwood!

Dagwood?

I wish my brother George was here.

Thank you.

See. Now I'll have to listen to that for months, maybe years.

Maybe you'H get lucky and not live that long.

Yesterday I almost asked my mother out on a date.

I mean, I didn't recognize her. She was taking these pills.

- RU 268? - Yeah, that's it.

Oh, don't let her.

- Already taken care of. - Good.

It's tough enough being young,

I can't imagine anyone taking a pill for it.

She looked good, though. I didn't recognize her.

Apparently not.

Can I talk to you about this 'cause \

I don't know who else to ask and I feel pretty weird.

I need someone to talk to myself.

I heard you're probabw not gonna leave.

No, I'm not gonna leave.

That's good.

Hi, I'm Rosalind Allen and this is Moose,

an orphaned manatee calf

being cared for by SeaWorld's rehabilitation unit in Orlando.

Moose will grow to be about 10 feet long and weigh around 1000 pounds.

His life expectancy is about 50 years,

but manatees as a species are endangered.

Less than 2000 remain in the wild.

Rescue programs like SeaWorld's aim to help repopulate the ocean

with these gentle creatures.

See you on the next adventure of seaQuest.
