- All set for liftoff?
- Yeah. This is the last of the stuff from outside.

The storm's getting worse, Dad.

Yes, and this could be
only part of a cosmic storm.

[ Dr. Smith ]
Surely you don't think this turbulence...

will follow us through
the whole constellation.

- It might well be.
- Well, I don't care.

Anything would be better
than this dreary planet.

- Of all the forsaken, lifeless places.
- [ Maureen ] Penny!

Will, have you seen Penny?

She went to get her scarf, I guess.

- Her scarf?
- Out by those big rocks.

I told her I saw it
where she left it.

Why didn't you
bring it in for her?

Well, because this was
before the storm started.

And because yesterday I had to get
her comb for her. She's always losing things.

Oh, dear. John--

Don't worry, darling.
I'll find her.

All right, liftoff in five minutes!

[ Screams ]

Shh! Don't make so much noise.
I won't hurt you.

- Who are you?
- My name's J-5.

- What?
- They call you Penny, don't they?

Please. I'm sorry I've been stealing
your things, but I had to talk to you.

- Did you steal my comb yesterday?
- Yes! To get you to come here!

Because... you're gonna leave this planet
pretty quick, and I wanna go with you.

You what?

I-I mean,
where do you come from?

- I didn't know there were any people here.
- There aren't.

But there used to be a colony from--
from another planet in the same galaxy.

I'm all that's left.

Oh, let go of me. Ow!

You're just like everybody else,
aren't you?

You'd just as soon leave me here
to be eaten by the Zaybo too.

To be eaten by the what?
What's a Zaybo?

It's a-- It's a great big thing
that keeps chasing me!

It's got hair and-- and claws
and a great big, awful growl!

Like a lion or something?

Oh, I don't believe you.
There aren't any animals like that here.

[ Loud Roar ]

- See what I mean?
- Where is it?

[ Continues Roaring ]

Run!
I'll try to stop it! Run!

Penny!

Dad! Hurry! There's a lion!
It's gonna kill him!

Where is it?

Oh, no!

- Who's this?
- His name is J-5.

He's the only one left from a colony.

- Dad, is he dead?
- No, he just fainted.

- He was trying to save me from the lion.
- Lion?

Are you sure you saw a lion?

He called it a Zaybo,
but it looked just like a lion.

- [ Zaybo Roars ]
- There it is again!

Ohh!

Get him out of here.

[ Roaring Continues ]

It's all right now.
Let's get back to the ship.

Hey, your scarf.
Wait, I'll get it.

Here, Zaybo.

Here, Zaybo!

[ Meowing ]

Hi, Zaybo.

Come on.

[ Meowing Continues ]

Hi.

You didn't think
I'd leave you behind, did you?

[ Meowing Continues ]

J-5, come on!

6-4-2-0.

2-0. Check.

Speed: five under.

Judy! Give us a hand!

Stabilize the control.
Hold the buttons down.

Looks as if we are
going to have turbulence.

Yes. We should have cleaned
those stabilizer circuits.

I'm holding hard as I can.

Oh!

Hang on below.
We're moving into some nova turbulence.

It shouldn't last too long.

It'll take more than a little turbulence
to slow down this boy's appetite.

Don't eat so quickly.
Not so fast.

Well, he's been living on roots and berries
for almost five years, Mom.

Mrs. Robinson, you must be
the most wonderful cook who ever lived.

[ Laughs ]
Well, thank you.

You know, that tastes almost like
the food back home when I was little.

Well, well, well!

An apple a day, as they say.

Dr. Zachary Smith
at your service, young man.

Why are you wearing
your stethoscope?

Your father told me it would be a good idea
to give our little alien friend a checkup...

make sure that he's
surviving our atmosphere.

- Give me a what?
- A checkup.

- You can use my room.
- Splendid!

It's all right, J-5.

Don't you worry about anything.
You go ahead.

Come along.

Come on.
Let's get him some more to eat.

Come along, my dear boy.
Be good enough to remove your shirt, please.

What? No!

Now, now, now, now, I just want
to listen to your heart, that is all.

Oh, good heavens.
You don't have one!

It might help if you put it
in your ears, Dr. Smith.

What? Oh, yes.

Excuse me.
Just a moment, please.

There.

Ah. Splendid! First-rate!

What are you afraid of? If you're so brave
and fight lions, like Penny says--

- You don't believe her, do you?
- Well, I didn't say that.

Tell me, J-5,
what's your home planet really like?

Well, I-I don't remember
too much...

'cause I left home
when I was little, but--

Well, I know there's
a lot of money there.

"Money"?
Did you say "money"?

Penny says
that's what you call it, I guess.

'Cause I remember people never
had to work very much or anything.

There's all these rocks lying around,
and people just pick 'em up.

- Rocks?
- Yeah.

Like, uh, diamonds
and-- and rubies...

and rocks like that.

Diamonds and rubies
and rocks like that?

How very interesting.

Tell me, young man,
just where is this planet of yours?

Excuse me, Dr. Smith, but Dad won't like it
if he doesn't get a medical report pretty soon.

And if you won't give it to him, I'll just
have the Robot come in here and analyze him.

- Do what?
- Splendid idea. Much less trouble for me.

Won't hurt you a bit.

I plan to take the best care of you possible,
the very best.

All those diamonds and rubies.

I really must hear more
about them, mustn't I?

We'll be back shortly.
Come along, William.

And when we get back...

we can listen to some more
of your stories.

Stories!

We'll show you.

[ Meowing ]

Will Robinson...

just wait till you
come back in here.

[ Meowing Continues ]

[ Judy Sighs ]
There we go again.

Haven't you
found the trouble yet?

Somewhere in this
port stabilizer control unit.

- What are you doing?
- Please, J-5. We're busy now.

I can't find any short circuits.

- What's a short circuit?
- Maybe you'd better run down below, huh?

Don, try the emergency panel.

'Cause if it's anything
like crossed wires and burning...

there's one right there,
isn't there?

Kid, please, listen, do me a favor.
Just leave us alone.

Now, wait a minute, Don.

Now, what panel
did you say that was?

- Right there.
- This one, huh?

[ Gasps ]

Well, I'll be.

The kid's right.

[ Panel Crackles,
Motor Humming ]

- There goes the stabilizer.
- Yes. It's all right now.

Say, what's the name of that planet of yours?
Cal Tech? [ Chuckles ]

- How did you know where to look?
- I don't know.

Things like that just seem easy,
I guess.

Well, I guess we've got ourselves
a new crew member.

- At least until we get you home.
- Will you?

- Could you?
- I don't see why not.

Listen, just as long as it's in the same galaxy
and it's not too far out.

Oh, Professor Robinson,
thank you! I--

Excuse me.
There's something I have to take care of.

Quick!

You know,
I wonder if he can fly a spaceship.

- Aw, come on!
- [ Laughing ]

[ J-5 ]
Will! Will!

What in the world?

I tried to stop you.

I mean, I thought
I heard something too...

but I guess
it was just imagination.

Imagination?

- [ Meows ]
- Sure!

See? There's nothing in here.

Not even behind the door there.
Even that's empty.

What's the matter with you boys?
What was it?

- Didn't you hear anything?
- Hear what?

It was a lion,
just like Penny saw.

There's something
awfully funny about you.

[ Alarm Beeping ]

I certainly heard that.
It's the emergency alarm. Come along.

[ Alarm Continues Beeping ]

- John, what's happening?
- I can't see what's happening.

There's fog on the view port.

Don, hit the retros.

Warning! Warning!
Collision! Collision!

[ Screaming ]

- [ Alarm Continues Beeping ]
- The gyro-stabilizer's cut out!

Oh, darling, are you all right?

- Will?
- Yeah, I'm okay.

I seriously doubt
that I am, madam.

- I must retire to my quarters. Excuse me.
- What happened?

- Don, clear that view port.
- Might be part of a force field.

I don't think we hit an object.

I heard some scraping.
There might be damage outside.

- Professor Robinson?
- Yes?

Professor Robinson...

did I do something bad
when I found that short circuit for you?

Of course not, son.
There was no connection.

The fog's disappearing.

Oh! What is that?

It's sucking us in closer,
in between them.

No power!
There is damage.

We're coming
right up against it!

[ Judy Screams ]

Have we stopped?

Well, what do we do now?

I guess we have to
make the first move.

- I'll go outside and take a look around.
- Oh, you can't do that.

You don't know what sort
of awful creatures might be in there.

We've got to find out
what the damage is.

The sooner we can fix it,
the sooner we can blast out of here.

- Keep your radio up, Don.
- All right.

John, be careful.

I will.

[ Loud Thud ]

Oh!

John?
John, what was that?

[ John On Speaker ]
Take it easy.

It's some sort of air lock,
like a gangplank.

mouth.

[ Laughing ]

That's better.
[ Clears Throat ]

Uh, oh, excuse me, sir.

This place is in such a mess.

I was sound asleep, you know.

I didn't hear you coming.

I'd been listening
to the baseball game.

- Baseball?
- Hmm?

Uh, yeah, yeah.
Baseball.

I, uh, have tapes, you know.

For the World Series, you know.

Uh, last one I have is 1984.

Mets, 22--

- Twenty-two?
- Yeah. Yeah.

Uh, Angels--

Oh. Oh! Oh!

- Landing lights!
- Uh-huh. Yes.

Ha!
[ Chuckling ]

Mom, look!

- You can see the lettering.
- Look! There's a flag!

Who are you?
What is this?

You must forgive me, sir.

You were, no doubt,
caught in my force field.

This is the space lightship...

number, um, F-12.

Lightship?

Yes, lightship.

On post in the galaxy--
Um, uh, 14-Y.

Yes, 14-Y.

Oh, there it is!

Things, uh,
are a little bit disorganized here...

but you are the first visitor
in 11 years.

Permit me, sir.

Colonel Silas J. Fogey...

United States Air Force.

Colonel Fogey?

And, oh, by golly, sir...

welcome aboard!

Come on, now.
Hurry up.

- Mother, can I borrow your comb?
- Yes. Hurry now.

I don't see why
we had to wait so long.

If you'd been living alone in space
for 11 years...

wouldn't you wanna clean up your house
before having visitors?

- No.
- Hurry up.

[ Meowing ]

[ Penny ]
J-5?

J-5!

Oh, here you are. Come on.
We're gonna see the lightship now.

They have an enclosed gangway
all fixed up for us.

- I don't see what everyone's so excited about.
- What?

Oh, J-5, think how you'd feel if you suddenly
bumped into someone from your home planet.

- Well, I guess so, but--
- Then come on! You're invited too!

- Really? Am I?
- Uh-huh.

Gangway is now open.

Your mother says, "Hurry up!"

Come on.

Colonel Fogey,
I'd like you to meet my wife, Maureen.

How do you do--
Oh! Thank you!

- My daughter, Judy. Colonel Fogey.
- How are you?

- Major West. Colonel Fogey.
- Major.

- I am Dr. Zachary Smith. Is it Colonel?
- Yes. Yes.

- Mr., uh, Smith? I'll remember that, yes.
- Smith.

- My daughter, Penny.
- Penny. How are you?

- And my son, Will. Colonel Fogey.
- Nice to meet you.

- How are you, Will?
- J-5.

Yes. J-5. Colonel Fogey.

Uh, J-5.

There we are.
Now, shall we, my dear?

Oh! Thank you.

- Well?
- [ Girls Giggle ]

- Golly!
- Doesn't look like much in here.

Haven't you ever seen
a weather station before, J-5?

It's like an outer space lighthouse.

Come on.

Oh, my!

Oh!

Well--

The principle is quite simple, madam.

Someday there will be
one such navigational aid as this...

stationed in each and every galaxy
of the heavens.

But you must have been
awfully lonely out here all by yourself.

Oh, no.
It wasn't so bad, really.

[ Clears Throat ]

And besides, only three more years
and I'm eligible for retirement.

Well, now, over here...

we have the weather plotting.

That's it right there.

And, uh, these are
directional signals...

to guide other ships from Earth--
passing explorers and so on.

Oh, my!

Colonel, you must have
a collection of maps.

The colonel and I have been
discussing that, Don.

- Maybe he could help us get back on course.
- Oh, I wonder if you could.

Now, now, now.

Excuse me.

Let's save that conversation
for dinner, hmm?

- Dinner?
- [ Penny ] Oh!

Do you mean
we're invited for dinner too?

- Roast turkey and stuffing, young man!
- My favorite!

- Champagne!
- Oh, marvelous!

Giblets!
Cranberry sauce!

- Like Thanksgiving!
- Of course!

What else could this glorious day be
but Thanksgiving?

- Oh, that's wonderful.
- Sounds great!

- May I have the honor?
- Yes, indeed.

- This way.
- [ Maureen ] There we go.

Boy!

Oh, Colonel, how beautiful it is!

[ Don Whistles ]

Looks delicious.

- [ Will ] Smell the turkey!
- Please sit down.

[ Maureen ]
Yes. Thank you.

Mother, it's just like home.

Home, indeed.

Only if you lived
in early Grand Rapids.

Well, it is a little elegant
for the space force.

[ Chuckles ]

You'd be surprised
how a little paint can cover up the tin.

And 11 years!

What that does
for a man's ingenuity.

- I see you weren't fooling about that champagne.
- Champagne?

Domestic.
I might have known.

Well, it was left over
when they christened the ship.

Then it's probably flat as well.

Well, Colonel, since this is...

a thanksgiving for all of us...

I think we'd better
tell them the news now.

- What news?
- What news, dear?

Well, Colonel Fogey and I
have been doing some conferring...

and we find
that in addition to maps...

this lightship contains
a store of emergency fuel.

- [ All Gasping ]
- Yes, yes, that's right.

And when it's piped
aboard your ship...

I'm quite sure
there'll be sufficient power...

to take you
straight back home to Earth.

- [ All Exclaiming ]
- [ Will ] We're finally going home!

Home?
Home, sweet home?

I think I'm going to cry.

A toast! I propose a toast!

A toast, do you hear,
to our magnificent host, Colonel Fogey.

The congressional medal, sir.

I shall personally see to it...

that you get the congressional medal
for rescuing me, saving my life!

[ Will ] Dr. Smith, I thought
you didn't like domestic champagne.

Don't be provincial, William. This champagne
comes from Earth, and that's all that matters!

- A toast! A toast!
- Colonel Fogey!

- [ Maureen ] To the colonel!
- My friends.

Dad, what about J-5?

What about him, dear?

We'll take him home first, won't we,
to his home planet?

Well, we'll have to
check that fuel first.

No, I'm very sorry.

I'm-- I'm very sorry...

but if the boy lives on a planet
that's even farther out in this galaxy...

you couldn't take the gamble.

It's the wrong direction.
I mean, there certainly won't be enough fuel.

I'm afraid you might never
get back to Earth.

I'm sorry, J-5.

[ Maureen ]
J-5, you'll love Earth. Really, you will.

Sure, J-5.
We'll find a nice home for you down there.

Oh, dear.

- Penny.
- Yes. J-5!

[ Sobbing ]

[ Meowing ]

We'll show them.

We'll show them!

J-5, where are you?

[ Meowing Continues ]

Why did you run away like that?

I know. You didn't want anyone
to see you were crying.

- I don't blame you.
- [ Sniffling ] Who's crying?

Well, I know how I'd feel
if I thought I was going home...

and suddenly discovered I wasn't.

Doesn't make much difference,
I guess.

Oh, J-5, you will like Earth.
You'll love it.

Everything is so green
and beautiful and--

Come back to dinner now.
Won't you, please?

[ Sniffles ]

All right. If you want me to.

- Yes.
- But listen.

No matter what happens...

you promise to be
my friend, Penny?

Of course, silly.
Come on.

He'll work for anybody, won't he?

I mean, anybody who can
set his dials right.

Well, he's pretty complicated.

You know something?

I like all these computers
and instruments and things.

I'll bet I could figure 'em out
just like that!

I'll bet you could too. Dad says
you have unusual scientific aptitude.

Let's go!

What's the matter?

Maybe you'd better go in first...

so it won't look like--

I know. I won't even tell them
I asked you to come back.

[ Meowing ]

Go on.
Up on the bridge first.

- [ Meowing Continues ]
- Scoot!

Uh, Colonel,
would you mind if my wife and I...

took a look around?

No. No, not at all.

You're my first visitors, you know.
Absolutely the first.

- Thank you.
- Thank you very much. Excuse us, please.

Of course, I have seen
a few ships from other planets...

but they just pass
through my telescope.

No one ever stopped.

[ Grunting ]
No one ever contacted my radios.

Colonel, you seem to be having
a great problem with that bottle.

- Allow me.
- Oh, thank you. Thank you.

- There! You see how easy it is?
- You have the knack.

It must be
so terribly lonesome for you.

Isn't there ever any excitement?
Anything different?

No. No, no.

I do clean and test the alarm bells
every fourth Tuesday...

but they never ring.

Does it scare you to think
they might ring sometime, sir?

Scare me?

[ Chuckles ]
Why, no, my boy.

[ Alarm Bells Ringing ]

- Colonel?
- [ Bells Continue Ringing ]

Are you all right, sir?

Ca-- Ca-- Ca--

Can't you hear them?

- The alarm bells?
- [ Bells Continue Ringing ]

To the control bridge!
Hurry!

- Dr. Smith.
- Yes?

Here.

There's no sense in wasting it.

Quite right, my boy.
Quite right.

Besides, I don't know
what we could do up there.

J-5, come on!

Maybe Penny could find out for us.

I'm sure she could.

Mmm!
Very nice indeed.

Listen, until they find out what's wrong
up on the bridge, we'll all just get in the way.

So why don't you go up and see what it is,
then come back and tell us.

- Well--
- Hurry.

[ Meowing ]

[ Zaybo Meowing ]

Ah! There you are.

Nothing like keeping one's head
in a crisis, is there?

Yes, sir. Besides, I remembered
you wanted to hear more about my planet...

and the diamonds and rubies.

So, maybe while we wait--

Well, of course.

If it would help keep you calm, by all means
tell me about the diamonds and the rubies.

- [ Alarm Bell Ringing ]
- It's supposed to light up!

It's supposed to say what's wrong!

Well, how do you turn the alarm off?

Alarm?
Oh, yes, yes. Oh, here.

These, uh, switches. One of them--
No, no. It must be this one.

Uh, Colonel,
that one's already off.

- [ Ringing Stops ]
- Well, it's stopped.

And the automatic switch
wasn't on.

We all heard the bells.

I don't understand.

Well, obviously
something is wrong.

Must have been that storm
we were dodging.

Storm?

What storm?

The cosmic storm...

that's sweeping the entire galaxy.

Didn't you have that
in your weather report, Colonel?

Oh, w-well, of course, uh,
I have been rather busy today.

- Uh-huh.
- Wait!

We have a computer!
Yes, we do.

And it compiles all the data.

[ Clears Throat ]
Here we are.

Now, all you have to do...

is to take one of these cards...

and put it in this way.

No, no, no, I guess
you have to find the combination.

Then you put it in this--

Colonel...

I imagine that that storm is close enough
to be seen on your scanners.

- May I?
- Oh, yes. Of course. Be my guest, sir.

[ Don ]
Well, there it is, all right.

It's a good thing we repaired
the Jupiter 2 this afternoon.

Well, I don't think
there's really going to be any trouble.

I'm so sorry
about the dinner getting cold.

Oh, it's not your fault.

Colonel?

Have you had
much trouble with drift?

Drift?

Drift.

Oh! Drift.

[ Chuckles ]
No, no, no, no, no.

You see, this is
a stationary lightship.

I haven't had to bother.

All of that
was controlled automatically...

at, uh--

at the time of launching.

Although, uh...

it does seem to me that we have
a drift indicator somewhere.

Oh, excuse me.

Pardon me, if you don't mind.

Yes, yes! [ Chuckles ]
Yes, this is it.

Mmm.

Ah!

Mmm! Lovely.

I wonder what's going on
up on the bridge.

Never fear. Smith is here.
Our fate is in the most capable hands.

Now, then, you spoke
of diamonds and rubies.

[ Meowing ]

Yes, sir.

But if we're never gonna go to my planet,
maybe there's no sense in talking about it.

My dear boy, never say never.

The trouble is...

you Earth people think
that just because I'm a boy...

maybe you shouldn't
listen to what I say.

Nonsense! I think you're
a most precocious young man.

Almost as bright as I was at your age.

- Now, why don't you sit down--
- Wait till I see if Penny's come back.

[ Woman ]
Yoo-hoo!

- [ Shrieks ]
- [ Glass Shatters ]

Who's there?
Where are you?

Over here.

Are you-- Are you playing
a game with me, whoever you are?

Of course not, darling.

It's me, in the cabinet.

But-- But... who are you?

Now, stop being silly, darling,
and open the door.

Come on.

Come on!

Closer.

It's all right.
We're all alone.

Ohh!

Oh, good heavens.

You mean to say that the colonel
has had you in here all these years?

[ Giggles ]
Of course not, darling.

You're the only person
who's ever even seen me.

I'm a Zaybo.

A Zaybo?

How nice.

Oh, madam,
do let me help you out of there.

Surely you cannot be comfortable...

sitting on all these dreadful
diamonds and rubies.

Mmm!

Mustn't touch.

Can't touch...

because I'm not really here,
of course.

I'm only in your imagination.

You are?

Oh, my dear madam...

what difference does it make
where you are?

But you will come and see me,
won't you, on J-5's planet?

On my planet?

On our planet?

Come and play in my garden?

Did you say J-5's planet?

Of course. He's the one
who sent me to you.

Haven't you realized yet
how smart that boy is?

How he can even make people
imagine things?

Like that silly alarm bell.

It didn't really ring.

It didn't?

He only made everyone
imagine that it rang.

But I don't understand.

If you're only
in my imagination--

Oh, darling, just listen
to what I'm telling you.

Listen to him...

so you and I can be together...

forever...

and ever...

and ever.

J-5, we don't know
what's wrong yet...

but maybe it has something
to do with our drifting.

My dad seems awfully
upset and worried.

- Does he?
- Yeah.

Well, never mind that.

Penny, I was just
going over to the spaceship.

Dr. Smith asked me
to find his glasses.

But maybe you could find 'em quicker.
Could you? Please?

All right. I guess so.

Oh, madam...

I've so much enjoyed
chatting with you.

- [ Door Closes ]
- [ J-5 ] Dr. Smith?

Yes?

Aah! She's gone!

Dr. Smith?

Professor Robinson asked me
to give you an order, sir.

He says you are to go over to
the spaceship with me right now.

He says you are to tell me...

what all the instruments are...

because if you just tell me...

I can understand
how to work them.

Are you listening?

He said hurry.

Yes, yes, of course.

[ Zaybo Meowing ]

Oh, Zaybo...

thank you.

Now you can stay here and do anything
you want with the rest of these people.

[ Continues Meowing ]

'Cause now I've got a spaceship.

Now I'm going home!

Look.

The stars are moving faster.

Colonel, is this
your propulsion unit?

Yes, I guess so.
I mean, it is. It is.

- Well, it doesn't appear to be operational.
- Oh, my.

I've tried to keep up
the maintenance.

But then, who ever would have dreamed
that a stationary lightship...

might drift off its station?

The storm's causing it.
Look at that star cluster!

- We're heading straight for it.
- Oh, my goodness.

And unless you tell us
how to turn this ship around--

John, what about the spaceship?

We're locked together.
Couldn't we use its power?

- It's not strong enough.
- It'd be like an ant trying to push an elephant.

- We'll be drawn into those suns.
- Not if we can figure this thing out in time.

Oh, what have I done?

What have I done?

Oh, I'm so sorry, everyone.

Eleven years.

Loneliness.
That's what it is. Loneliness.

- It does such strange things to people.
- There, there.

We understand, Colonel.
But, please, try to remember.

Remember, sir.
Yes, sir!

I'll try to remember, sir.

And stop calling me "sir"!

I can't help it!
It keeps slipping!

I am not a colonel!

I am not...

a colonel.

The real colonel...

he took off somewhere
in a space raft.

He never came back.

I'm only the cook
and handyman.

A handyman?

All these years
I've been pretending.

But it's no use.

I still can't figure out
how to work this lightship!

If anyone is going
to save us, Professor...

it will have to be you.

Here we are.

- Right backup rocket.
- Check.

Left landing control.

Check.

Space pressure control.
That one is for--

No, no. I understand.
Go on.

- That's all there is. Shall I start again?
- Of course not.

Do you think I'm as stupid
as you were at my age?

- Certainly not.
- Then prepare to cast off.

Yes, indeed.

There you are, J-5.

I looked and looked, but I can't
find Dr. Smith's glasses anywhere.

Besides, he never wears 'em.

What are you doing here?

Go back to your cabin, Penny.

- I'll explain after we're underway.
- Underway?

Sure. Your father asked us
to go for help. That's all.

Get away from those buttons!

Penny, listen to me. There's nothing
to worry about. I can figure this thing out.

By the time we get to my planet, we'll be
flying upside-down and around in circles.

Your planet?

Dad! Da--
Oh, Dr. Smith, let go of me!

What's wrong with you?
He's going to steal our spaceship.

Now, easy does it, Penny. There's nothing
to be afraid of. I'm coming along too.

You're-- Dr. Smith,
what's happened to you?

A vision, my dear.
A vision of the future.

- Vision?
- Yes.

Isn't that so,
you doddering dunderhead?

Tell her.

I have had not enough time
to compute the probabilities.

Find time, ninny.
Find time.

Penny, please.

We're friends, aren't we?

So we're gonna be together, that's all.
Forever and ever.

- [ Whimpers ]
- And ever.

[ Sobs ]

But I've lied about everything!

Don't you understand?
Everything!

I don't have the fuel
to get you back to Earth.

I don't even have the maps!

I took them into the galley
to study them.

I burned them while I was cooking.

I was only trying to impress you.

I was trying to delay you
so I could smuggle myself aboard your ship...

become a stowaway.

Because I--

I can't stand being alone anymore!

- I can't stand it!
- Oh, Colonel.

Don't call me that!

I am an impostor!

A-A traitor!
A deserter! A coward!

Stop it!

Whatever you are, you'll be dead...

if we don't get this ship
back on course, and very soon.

Will, get down to the dining room.
Get Dr. Smith.

Tell him to bring the Robot. And bring J-5.
We'll need all the help we can get.

- Yes, sir.
- Hurry!

Dr. Smith! J-5!

Hey, where are you?

[ Roaring ]

Help!

Dad! Help!

[ Will ]
Dad! Help!

Penny, stop!
Penny, don't go in there!

- Penny!
- Let her go, young man!

We don't need her.
We'll be better off without her.

Now, come along
and we'll fire the blast-off button!

Penny, are you all right?

Where are you?

Penny, answer me.
I left the Zaybo in here.

Penny, please.
I don't want you to be hurt.

How can anyone be hurt
by something that's imaginary?

What?

- But-- But Will--
- That's all the Zaybo is, isn't it?

Something you made up
to scare people.

Your mind's so powerful, you can
make them see the things they want to...

what they're afraid of.

Sure, I was the one that
thought of lions in the first place.

And there it was.

So now Will is scared to death
of lions too.

Penny, please.
I'm sorry.

Penny, I didn't make it up
just to scare people.

I was living all alone
for five years.

I didn't really remember anything
about my home planet.

I didn't even know
what it was like.

So-- So I had to have
something to think about.

I wanted a kitten.
That's all.

Kitten?

Sure.

Something that would like me...

and be on my side.

Here, I'll show you.
Maybe you can hear it too now.

Here, Zaybo.

Here, Zaybo.

Where are you?

Answer me, Zaybo!

Maybe it's gone.

Something's wrong.

Zaybo, where are you?

Oh, J-5, don't you see?

Maybe you don't need it anymore.

Because you were worried
about me, weren't you?

Maybe you'll never need it again.

Because now
there are real people...

and real things to think about.

Penny?

- What's going on down here?
- Nothing. Everything's all right.

No, it's not. We've got to abandon ship.
This lightship's out of control.

Come on, now.
Everyone on the Jupiter 2.

- Why don't you fix the stabilizers?
- [ Rattling ]

- What?
- Sure. Can't you hear it? Even down here.

There's a short circuit,
just like there was on your ship.

- Come on.
- [ Rumbling, Rattling ]

[ Frequency Tone Screeching ]

[ Don ]
It's the stabilizers!

[ Frequency Tone
Continues Screeching ]

[ Screeching Stops ]

That's marvelous!

- [ All Laughing ]
- Well! Yeah, quite the boy.

Well!

- Thank you very much.
- I can't tell you how much it's meant to me.

Oh, Colonel, I'm sure everything
is going to be just fine now.

I hate to say it,
but good-bye.

Good-bye, Colonel.

- There.
- Thank you.

- Colonel.
- My dear.

- Colonel.
- [ Clears Throat ] Uh--

- [ Laughing ]
- There we are.

- Good-bye, Colonel Fogey.
- Will, good-bye.

Colonel, don't worry about a thing.

Even your title. You deserve it.

Well, I don't know about that.

But it sure is nice to
have this lightship going again.

Perhaps people can even start
hearing my weather reports now.

Yes, of course. A crew.
That's all you needed.

All set to break the air lock, sir!

Ready for cast-off!

And what a crew!

The relief ship from Earth
will be here in three years.

- You will take care of the boy, won't you?
- Oh, you bet.

We'll send him back
to his own planet.

Or to Earth,
or anyplace he wants to go.

Don't worry about me, Professor.

Boy, with all the scientific stuff
around here to play with--

Well, it's time for cast-off.

- Colonel.
- Will.

- Bye-bye, Colonel.
- Bye.

- Good luck.
- And good-bye.

Thank you.

Bye, Penny.

Don't worry.
I'll be seeing you one of these days.

Good-bye, J-5.
