Original subtitles

Oh, my queen, said the royal sorcerer to Hatshepsut, with this amulet, you and

your descendants are endowed by the goddess Isis. With the powers of the

animals and the elements, you will soar as the falcon soars, run with the speed

of gazelles, and command the elements of sky and earth.

Three thousand years later, a young science teacher dug up this lost

treasure and found she was heir to...

The Secrets of Isis. And so, unknown to even her closest friends, Rick Mason and

Renny Carroll, she became a dual person.

Andrea Thomas, teacher.

Oh, mighty Isis.

And Isis, dedicated foe of evil, defender of the weak, champion of truth

and justice.

Well, you know that, don't you? Oh, I couldn't help it. It's my mother again.

Now what?

Same old thing. Be home early. Clean up your room. Don't go out with Cole. Go

out with Freddy.

Freddy. What?

She get on you again for hitchhiking?

Oh, boy.

Mine, too.

How do they expect us to get around?

I don't know.

Sometimes I wonder if they were ever young. Oh, they say so, but I doubt it.

I think I've got it figured. When you get to be a mother, you forget what it

was like when you were young.

Right.

Everybody set, Copilot?

Yeah, everybody set, Skipper. Okay.

Ah, sorted out.

Fix that or you're going to have one dead battery. Yeah, I know. All right.

Wait a minute.

Here we go. Now we got it. Okay.

All doors are locked.

We're ready to go.

Did you ever have the feeling the horse is getting all the exercise?

Well, until he complains, I'm going to enjoy it.

Yeah, let's go.

What a neat set of wheels, huh?

Super. Best redirect to your town.

Oh, this is the way to fly our friendly highway.

Oh, you think this is flying?

The show we're flying really is, Charlie. Turn her loose. Okay, okay.

You sit back there and you just watch old Charlie lose him.

Look, Charlie, I know you're a good driver and you can handle this bomb,

but... Stop running the police. That's dangerous. Oh, yeah, sure. That's what

makes it fun.

Look, just pull over and stop so they'll give you a ticket for speeding. What's

the big deal?

That was Joanne and Hope in that car. Are you sure?

I'm positive.

Oh, zephyr winds that blow on high, lift me now so I can fly.

Charlie, please stop.

Hey, no way. You just sit back there and relax and trust old Charlie, okay?

Faster, zephyr winds.

The road is blocked.

I've got to help them.

That's crazy.

Look out!

We're getting hit!

Molecules by which we're bound, separate.

Let space be found.

Forward motion stop.

Return to safety.

No, I don't think so.

Isis, we went right through that machine and over the edge.

You saved us.

I'm glad I was able to help.

And I'm glad we're here.

Thanks, Isis.

You've made a believer out of me. I will never hitchhike again, ever.

Promise?

I promise.

And what about you, Hope?

Hmm?

Oh, well, you've got to admit it was exciting.

Now, Charlie, he's really a good driver.

I sure hope they don't take his license away.

Who knows? I might run into him again.

This experiment should prove to you that in chemistry, it's not too clever to

take anything for granted.

It will also, I hope, have a much deeper meaning for some of you.

I have just poured what can be an extremely volatile...

chemical into this beaker.

As you can see, it just sits there. Alone, it's harmless.

I will now add another chemical to the same beaker.

Again, nothing.

Alone or with something that doesn't rub it the wrong way, there's no reaction.

But watch what happens when I add the catalyst.

What the catalyst was in this case doesn't matter. Depending upon the

elements, the catalyst can be almost anything, including, for a potentially

dangerous, explosive situation, the driver of a car that picks up

hitchhikers.

Am I getting through to you two?

Loud and clear.

We dig, Ms. Tallman.

I hope so.

Okay. See you all tomorrow.

Saved by the bell.

It's a great sale, Miss Thomas. Everything is at least 50% off. Sounds

good. Maybe I can get down there this weekend.

You really should try.

I will.

Oh, here comes Mr. Mason.

It looks like he's still sore.

That must have been quite a ride he had. Believe me, it was.

Hi, Mr. Mason.

Anybody who does horse jokes is in big trouble.

How are you feeling, Rick?

Very, very tender.

Why don't you sit down and have lunch with us?

Are you being funny, Rennie? Oh, no.

You going to eat standing up? Since that horse ran away with me, I have no

choice. Hi, everybody.

Hi. You all coming to the picnic on Saturday?

I am. You are, too, aren't you, Miss Thomas?

You bet.

You better not count on me.

Oh, come on, Mr. Mason.

Sure, Rick. I'll drive, and I'll even bring you a soft cushion to sit on.

Well, in that case... Super.

And you don't have to ask how we're going to get there, Miss Thomas.

Bye-bye.

Right-o?

All right, bye, Beth.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Granny.

Nice.

Who was that?

I don't know. I never got his name.

You mean after everything that's happened, you're still hitching rides?

Don't be such a cube. Everybody does it.

Hope you must be joking.

I thought that after what Miss Thomas did that you were never... What Miss

Thomas doesn't know won't hurt her.

Oh, I gotta go. I'll see you later, okay?

Yeah.

Hello, Mrs. Mason.

Hi, Rennie.

Oh, I see you haven't gotten over the horseback ride yet.

If you don't mind, I'd rather not talk about it.

Okay, I withdraw my question.

See you later.

Bye-bye.

little trouble?

No.

I'm having a lot of trouble.

Um, sounds like you're not getting much of a spark from your coil.

How is that?

On the other hand, it could be the condenser.

Or maybe the point.

You know, like maybe they're pitted and they're not making enough contact when

they close.

Where did you learn all that?

Remember, I have two brothers.

Come on, I'll check it out for you. Let me have your spark gauge.

Spark gauge?

You do have one.

Darn it.

I just sent it out to be cleaned.

I appreciate the offer, but I better go make a phone call.

You know what?

I think I just found my ride.

Thanks for the help.

Next time I need my tires changed, I'll give you a call.

My pillow.

Rick. Hitchhiking?

We teachers are supposed to set the example.

Sorry, but my car won't start, and I need a lift. And please, don't say

anything about getting a horse.

All right.

Get in.

Between horses that run away with you and cars that don't start.

That's great.

Go ahead and kick a guy that doesn't even have a spark gauge.

What? That's mechanics talk. You wouldn't understand.

I hope nobody sees me here waiting for a bus. You know how late we're going to be

at that picnic?

We might as well not even go.

Well, knock it off, will you?

We've only been here five minutes.

We're going to get there in plenty of time. And if anybody sees us, it's just

too bad.

It's him. It's Charlie.

You need the lift? Yes.

Would you like to try that again? Cut it out, will you? He can get us to that

picnic in 20 minutes.

The way he drives, it'd be a miracle if we got there at all.

Besides, I thought we agreed, no hitchhiking. This isn't hitchhiking.

Hitchhiking is when you get picked up by a stranger. The other day it was

hitchhiking because we didn't know him. Today we're friends, so it's not

hitchhiking. Look, stop fooling with my head.

Hitchhiking is hitchhiking.

You want to go, go.

I'm waiting for the bus.

Okay. But don't snitch, will you?

Yeah, who am I going to snitch to? The bus driver?

See you at the picnic.

I sure hope so.

How are you feeling, Rick? Like Humpty Dumpty waiting to get pushed.

Well, I'll try to avoid the bumps.

Isn't that Joanne Clayton?

Mm-hmm.

Where's the other half of the set?

You're right. She and Hope are usually inseparable.

Want to ride, Joanne? I sure do, Mr. Nathan.

Say, where's Hope?

She had something to do. She's going to meet me at the picnic.

Well, we'll see her later.

Hey, I thought they were going to pull your license next time around.

They did.

You mean you're driving without one?

You got it.

You weirdo.

Hey, Chuck, this isn't the way to the picnic.

Yeah, sure it is. This is the long way.

Look, I promised Joanne I'd meet her there. Would you forget Joanne? Just

relax and enjoy the ride, huh?

You know, without her compadre...

Joanne looks a little unbalanced.

Like one book in.

I wonder where Hope is.

I don't know.

Peter.

Joanne.

Isn't Hope here yet?

No, ma'am.

I'm starting to get worried.

Where is she?

She... I can't. I promised her I wouldn't snitch.

If Hope is in trouble, that promise isn't going to help her much.

She hitched a ride with Charlie, the boy who almost drove... Well, you know.

I know.

He picked her up at the bus stop. They should have been here hours ago.

Well, let's give him a little more time and try not to worry.

Okay? Okay.

Oh, my God.

Oh,

zephyr winds that blow on high, lift me now so I can fly.

Charlie, fun is fun, but I've got to get to that picnic.

Okay, all right, all right. We're on our way. We'll be there in 15 minutes.

Like looking for a needle in a haystack.

They could be anywhere.

There they are.

Hey, I think you just broke the sound barrier. Slow down, will you?

Oh, man, I thought you were going to be fun.

Charlie, I have an idea they're trying to tell you something.

Oh, you said you were in such a hurry to get to your picnic.

Not that much in a hurry. I want to be in one piece when I get there.

I smell something burning.

Charlie, there's a train coming.

All right, no strain, no strain, woman.

happen? I don't know. The switch must have shorted out the battery.

They've stalled on the tracks.

Charlie, do something!

Do what? They won't open!

Charlie?

It's Isis!

Start the car!

I can't! The battery's dead!

Storm gods of electricity, send a lightning bolt to me.

and you can stop shaking.

Um, Isis, ma'am, um, what Hope just said to you, uh, well, I guess that goes

double for me.

Well, before anything else happens, I know some people who are very anxious to

see you.

If it weren't for Isis... She just saved us just by inches.

You know something, Joanne? I think my mother really knew what she was talking

about. I think maybe she was young once.

Andrea, do you know what just happened?

I could save these two from getting clobbered by a train.

Well, I'm certainly glad to hear that.

Oh, I wish I could have been there to see it.

Hey, it didn't hurt.

Good. Let's go horseback riding again tomorrow.

Oh, no.

I'm not... Say, you two aren't going to be driving anyplace tomorrow, are you?

No, sir. No, we're not.

No, I'm busting it from now on, Mr. Mason.

Then it's a date.

Good. And this time, I'll show that horse who's boss.
