How did you fit all this

stuff in here?

Gradually.

I haven't done spring cleaning

in the rustbucket since I got

her.

Except for when I blew

it up -- Which I probably

shouldn't mention.

Just help carry the

boxes outside and stack them

up.

Heavy!

Not if you take them

one at a time.

I got a better idea.

Fourarms!

Ben!

You're too big to be in

here.

No, I'm no--

Ben!

Sorry! Sorry!

I'm going!

Thanks a lot, Kevin!

Anytime.

Look what I found.

Oh, that shouldn't be in

there.

Can I keep it?

I'd let you have

anything, sweetheart, but that

bracelet has a lot of meaning to

me.

It matches his

handbag.

Why do you have a

woman's bracelet?

It's not exactly

jewelry, Gwen.

It belonged to your grandmother.

Long story.

I was about Kevin's age -- A

rookie with the tactical air

command.

Tac 3, tac 3!

Tennyson! Do you copy?

I think I see something.

You're not going anywhere!

All right -- Plan "B".

Yeah! Down you go!

Oh, nuts!

You think the laws of physics

don't apply to you, Tennyson?

F-104s are rated for mach 2.

You were pushing mach 3.

You know what happens when an

f-104 goes that fast?!

It falls apart!

Sir, if you'd give me a

chance to exp--

>> No! No more chances!

No more excuses!

You are through!

I am kicking your butt off this

base and out of the air force!

>> Excuse me, colonel.

I'll take it from here.

You say there was a UFO,

which the other pilots never

saw, which didn't show up on

radar, which you then chased and

shot down.

And you're sticking with that?

Yes, sir -- Because it's

the truth.

>> Son, do you know why

president Kennedy wants to send

us to the moon?

Because of the Russians.

>> No.

Because of the kind of thing you

saw today.

I don't know what you tangled

with, but I do know it was real.

Of course, officially, we deny

everything.

Then why tell me?

Quite a record you've got

here -- Top scores academically,

you aced our elite combat

training course.

You're maybe the finest young

pilot in the air force overall.

Yeah?

>> On the other hand, you've

been cited repeatedly for

insubordination.

Only when my commanding

officers were wrong.

Sir.

>> You've been reprimanded for

participating in a dozen or

more brawls, and your personal

ethics are best described as

"situational."

My orders are to get the

job done, sir.

That's what I do.

>> In short, you're smart,

tough, skilled, and stubborn.

You know what that sounds like

to me?

Grounds for a

dishonorable discharge, sir?

>> It sounds like an astronaut,

son.

Sir?

>> The world is changing.

Aliens are visiting our planet

at will, doing we don't know

what.

The president wants us to be

prepared -- To be able to defend

ourselves if necessary, meet

these "visitors" on a level

playing field.

So, what do you say?

Do you want to go to the moon?

Yes, sir!

>> Then you are hereby

transferred to Langley field in

Virginia.

Enjoy the weekend, airman,

because starting Monday, you

are an astronaut in training.

Whoo-hoo!

How's your chili?

>> Pretty bad.

That's my favorite kind.

I'll take a double order.

>> Why the long face, flyboy?

I got some good news

today.

And you were hoping to do a

little celebrating tonight, huh?

Yeah, I guess.

The pickins are looking pretty

slim in here.

>> I'm gonna try not to take

that personally.

Hello.

Present company excepted, of

course.

>> Of course.

>> I'll let you two get

acquainted.

I'm Max.

>> Verdona.

Unusual name.

I'm gonna take a flier and guess

that you're not from around

here.

>> How very perceptive.

Do you have any other talents?

Sure.

Only, they're classified.

>> I'm good at keeping secrets.

All right.

I'm...Going into space.

>> You don't say.

Yep. I'm an astronaut.

I'm gonna be the first man on

the moon.

>> Sounds lonely.

Well, I'd invite you

along, but the capsule will be

kind of cramped.

>> No problem. I'm small.

Is that so?

>> We need to go -- Now!

Well, you

don't waste any time.

>> You don't understand.

You're the one I've been trying

to find.

Then I guess we both got

lucky.

No!

Leave the lady be, or we

got ourselves a prob--

Sheriff, it's Florence.

Come quick.

I said, "leave her

alone"!

Sorry I had to hit you so hard,

buddy, but you were out of...

Line?

We have to get out of here!

It's okay.

I can take him.

No, you can't!

We have to run!

Whoa, there, mister!

Stop right --

What was that thing?

Why is it chasing you?

What in Sam hill is going on?!

That's all rather difficult

to explain.

Then I'll try an easy

one -- Who are you?

My name is Verdona.

That's all I can tell you for

now.

I'm done with

"twenty questions."

Now, we can sit here till your

boyfriend catches up, or you can

come clean!

Fine.

What you said before was

correct.

I'm not "from around here."

I'm from another planet, and the

man chasing me isn't a man at

all.

He's actually from a race of

sentient robots called

Synthroids.

Well, why didn't you say so?

It's coming!

And this is us going.

Hey! Watch the paint job!

My ride!

All right, that's how you want

to play it.

He had it coming.

I built this car practically by

hand.

>> Don't you have to stop?

That's one way to

handle it.

That'll slow him down.

>> Not for long.

Joint's been stripped

clean -- No gas, no tools, no

food.

Anything else I should know

about you?

>> Well, I also have certain --

How shall I put this? --

Abilities.

So why don't you use

them?

>> I can't.

The Synthroid put this on my

arm.

It locked me in this form and

neutralizes most of my powers.

Most?

>> I can still use telepathy.

Then you can tell when

that robot's getting close.

>> Telepathy only works with

living beings.

The Synthroid is a machine.

But I did read your mind.

In the diner?

It wouldn't take superpowers to

tell what I was thinking, doll.

Not then -- When you were

chasing us in your fighter jet.

You were in the UFO

A captive.

Then you shot it down, and I

escaped.

But I knew that I had to find

you.

So, you just like me

for my mind?

Don't you understand?

You're the only one who can help

me.

Hold that thought.

This thing's probably some kind

of tracking device.

What do we do?

If we want to make sure

tin man can't follow us, we need

to get it off your arm.

And I think I know how.

What is this place?

They smelt copper here.

I flew over it all the time on

practice runs.

Now stay real still.

Cut it off! Hurry!

Whatever it's made of, it's

stronger than these metal

shears.

But made the Synthroid isn't as

tough.

Do you trust me?

I need you to do something for

me.

Are you hurt?

Yeah --

My knee.

Wasn't expecting to fall that

hard.

I know the feeling.

I'm coming for you,

doll.

I just got to figure out where

that ship crashed.

Come on, Tennyson.

Use your head.

My head.

She said our minds are linked.

Hey! Tin man!

Why are you doing this?

What do you want with her?!

The female

is an Anodite.

An Ano-what?

I'm an energy being.

The Synthroids are going to use

me like a battery.

I can power their world for

years -- Until they drain me

dry.

What is one life compared to

the survival of my species?

The way I see it, any

life's precious.

But you wouldn't understand

that, 'cause you're not really

alive, are you?

Anyway, you can't have her!

Unh!

>> But I will have her.

And you will be destroyed, just

like the organic ones who built

us.

This is Magister Labrid of

the plumbers.

Release the Anodite and the

human and surrender immediately.

Too bad, tin man.

Looks like the cavalry's here.

Put your hands where I can

see them.

As you wish.

Let me go!

That weapon is not powerful

enough to harm me.

I wouldn't think of

shooting you, tin man.

But your power sphere...

We got to stop meeting like

this.

I'm free!

And...This is what you

really look like?

Does my true form displease

you?

No.

On you, that's a good look.

And now that you've seen me

as I am, I have a request.

Ask away.

Come into space.

Come with me.

That's the second-best

offer I've had all day, but I

can't.

Why?

I know you have feelings for me.

I do.

But I've got plans.

I'm going to be the first man on

the moon.

Why settle for the moon when

I can give you the stars?

You can't give me what I

want.

I have to take it.

It wouldn't be the same if I

didn't do it myself.

Do you understand?

You are a stubborn man,

Max Tennyson.

I always say "it's a sin

to waste natural talent."

I won't argue, because I know

I can't convince you.

But I promise -- We will meet

again.

I'm counting on it.

The following Monday, I went

into the astronaut-training

program.

But you never got to go

to the moon.

Not the way I wanted to,

but I suppose I can't complain.

Magister Labrid came back and

recruited me to the plumbers.

And grandma came back,

too, right?

I mean, you had to meet her

again.

Ah, that's a story for

another time.

We wouldn't want to wake

Kevin, now, right?

W-what'd I -- What'd I miss?

Come on, Kevin.

We're calling it a night.

I'll be there in a

minute.

Good night, Verdona...

Wherever you are.
