[BARKING]

l can't believe that l misplaced my diary again.

lf Elroy wasn't such a nosy brother. l wouldn't have to keep hiding it.

There's my diary.

Oh. hello. Judy.

Oh. Di-Di. l was afraid you were lost.

Relax. As your personal diary. my lips are sealed.

Your secrets are safe with me.

-Were you sleeping? -What else is there to do in a hat box?

Oh. Di-Di you'll never believe wh'at happened.

l got a feeling you're gonna tell me about it anyway.

Oh. you know me so well. Di-Di.

What's to know? l only know what you tell me.

Listen. it all began last Monday....

[ENGINE SPLUTTERING]

Oh. this always happens when l'm in a hurry.

Now what do l do?

-Hi. Judy. doll. -Oh. well. hi. Nick Nova.

You arrived in the nick of time. Nick.

My space car died.

Can you help me?

Whoa!

Hey. Iove to. but it's dangerous out here. you know.

You'd better get some help.

Thanks a lot. pal.

Hey. Andy. Andy Andromeda.

Yeah. hey. Judy. what's happening. little cutie?

Nothing is happening with my car.

Be a pal and tow me to the nearest space-car shop. will you?

-For a raging beauty like you? Anytime. -Thanks. Andy.

Except now. l'm late for spaceball practice.

And they can't start without their number one all-galaxy superstar quarterback.

Oh. Fair-weather friends l don't need.

Where's a Good Samaritan when l need one?

Pardon me. aren't you Judy Jetson?

Well. yes. l am. And you are?

Curly Quasar. We're in the same Cosmic Literature class.

Really? Uh....

Do you know space cars. Burly? Mine is dead.

l'll check it out. And the name is Curly.

No big problem. Judy. You just ran out of fuel pellets.

How could l forget fuel pellets?

-Maybe your mind was on something else. -Gee. that's very perceptive of you. Burly.

l was rushing to get a perm for my annual surprise birthday party Saturday.

-l've gotta go. -l popped spare pellets in your tank.

They'll get you to where you're going. Well. happy surprise birthday party.

Bye. Thanks again. Burly.

The name's Curly. Curly Quasar.

Curly Quasar? Is he cute?

-He has other fine qualities. -Oh. he's rich.

l don't think so.

He's not cute. isn't rich. what else is there?

Don't be such a skeptic. Now. listen.

The very next day...

...thíngs started off normally enough.

Good morning. Miss Jetson. l have a few reminders for you today.

Oh. hello. Memo Minder. It can't be morning already.

Have l ever lied to you before?

ln any case. as of today. you have exactly 257 days of school left.

How totally exciting.

Any good news?

You have a date with Gaylord Gamma tonight.

So you wanted to have your lavender jump suit cleaned?

But Gaylord is a senior. l should wear something more mature.

Like my Venusian two-piece.

Excuse me. Ahem.

Didn't your mother make you return that particular dress because it was. uh...

...ahem. too mature?

JUDY: Okay. the lavender jump suit then.

So. what other exciting reminders have you?

Oh. yes.

Saturday is your birthday.

And my family always throws me a terrific surprise party.

But they can't keep a secret. l always find out.

Ahem.

Didn't you ask them not to throw you a party this year?

Of course. Reverse psychology is very important...

...when communicating with parents.

l'll know all the party secrets by lunchtime.

[CHUCKLES]

l'm very clever at snooping.

[SNORING]

Spacely. you're a spineless space shrimp.

Now. clear your desk off and get out.

[LAUGHING]

ALARM: _ttentíon, Jetson. You míssed reveílle by two mínutes.

Now. fall ín. Up and at them.

Surely. in a moment.

ALARM : Don't call me Shírley, soldíer.

GEORGE: This is the last time we buy army surplus.

Come on, Jetson. Hup, hup, hup.

[ALARM CONTINUES CHANTING]

Yeow! If that alarm can't tell the difference...

.. .between hot and ice-cold shower water...

...l'm gonna pull its plug for good.

How's your top-secret project coming. Elroy?

Oh. don't worry. Dad. l think l'll have it finished by the end of the week.

Ah. ha. ha. The morning news. Good boy. Astro.

There'll be a little something extra in your doggy bowl tonight.

Thanks. George.

That tastes terrible. Blech.

Do you mind. Astro?

Oh. sorry. Georgey.

ANNOUNCER [ON TV] : From the solar deserts to the Martían seas...

...thís ís the Mebulous Mews Metworh.

l can't do the news dressed líhe thís.

Maybe you'd better get yourself another talent.

Maybe we wouldn't have thís problem...

...íf your dog wouldn't bíte holes ín the news dísh.

[GROWLS]

That's all right. boy. All l want is the sports page anyway.

Hí. sports fans.

The Chícago Comets clobbered the Cíncínnatí Satellítes, 76 to 1 7.

Wow. 76 to 1 7.

How about some bacon. toast and eggs. honey?

Hi. Mom. Daddy.

Elroy. why are you playing with your junk in the dining room?

lt's not junk. and l'm not playing.

-This is a very important invention. -Daddy.

She's right. Elroy.

Take it into your room.

Okay. but you're suppressing creative genius. you know.

Pbbr.

Oh. children.

ANNOUNCER: Was snagged by Torpedo Tucher wíth íust seconds to play.

You know. Daddy. time certainly flies. doesn't it?

Yeah. l remember when Tucker was just a rookie.

l mean. it hardly seems like a whole year has passed.

All things must pass. dear. That's enough cream. thanks.

What l'm trying to say is. none of us look a whole year older. right?

That's because your mother and l only count every third year.

Let's see what my horoscope says.

Gee. l thought you Libras didn't believe in astrology.

Ho. ho. Very funny.

Líbra sígns should be aware thís weehend ís for all to share.

Oh. that reminds me. Judy dear. about this Saturday--

-Oh. you mean about my-- -Your father and l are going out.

l understand. You won't be here Saturday night.

No. we got something really special planned.

JUDY: Naturally.

[JUDY LAUGHS]

-Don't you want any breakfast. Judy? -No. l'm already late.

l'll grab some pancake tablets on my way out.

Something big's planned for Saturday night.

My surprise birthday party.

Whoopee!

Well. Di-Di now the plot begins #o thicken.

Good. There should be one thicken in every plot.

l've always felt strongly about that.

Di-Di. please. This is my life.

Sorry. l get surly when l don't sleep.

Do continue with your fascinating story.

_U_Y: So l'm cruísíng along on my way to school...

...when who should pop up Iookíng for a ríde but....

Curly Quasar.

Hey. Judy. Judy Jetson.

l'll pretend not to see him.

Hey. Judy. can you give me a ride?

She's in some hurry. Must be late for class.

He's really quite nice.

l hate to be a snob. but l really can't afford to be seen around campus...

...with someone who's not part of the elite in-crowd.

After all. l have an image to protect...

...and peer pressure is heavy-duty stuff with us teenagers.

But l can't help feeling a little guilty just the same.

Perhaps l'm just not in touch with my real feelings.

l'm gonna have to give this some thought.

Maybe there is more to life than good looks and popularity.

But not at my school.

Hey. l got two spectacular tickets for the Jet Screamer concert Saturday night.

Sorry. Mickey. l hate to disappoint Jet Screamer. but l can't go.

Uh-oh.

Here comes that Curly Quasar. l've gotta go. Mickey.

Judy? Now. what made her leave so quickly?

Probably trying to avoid someone.

Oh. don't take it personally. Mickey. She's probably just late for class.

l'm out of here.

You rejected Mickey Meteorite?

l had to keep Saturday night open...

...because my family always throws me a surprise birthday party.

As usual. every hunk ín school called.

Oh. come on. Judy. Showíng up wíth the star athlete at the pep rally?

lt'll be good for your ímage.

Not to mention your image.

[PHONE RINGS]

Hold on. Andy. l've got another call.

Hí. Judy. doll.

How about you, me, and the satellíte races Saturday níght?

JUDY: Negative. Nick. l can't make it.

[PHONE RINGS]

Hí, Judy, wanna paínt the galaxy red wíth me Saturday níght?

AN_Y: Blast off. Meteoríte. l asked her físt. NICK: Yeah, and she told you to forget ít.

Thanks for the invite. guys. but Saturday night is booked.

Over and out. Bye.

Oh. you must have loved getting all that attention.

lt beats being ignored.

Please. do go on with your wonderful and exciting story.

Well. next...

...l tríed to get some ínformatíon out of Rosíe.

Rosie.

-We can talk girl-to-girl. can't we? -l don't know anything.

Oh. come on.

Anything unusual happening here Saturday night?

Well. Miss Judy. your folks are going to a very special event.

[CHUCKLING]

Yeah. so l hear. Thanks. Rosie.

_U_Y: Well, Dí-Dí, l íust had to learn more about Saturday níght.

So l got down to some seríous snoopíng...

...and checked Elroy's room for any íncrímínatíng bírthday gífts.

[WHISTLES]

-What are you doing in my room? -Oh. just curious about...

...what you have in this box.

Judy. don't open that.

[SCREAMS]

ELROY: Orbitty. help. Judy freed my Saturn slugs.

Slugs! Blech!

Mother. do you know what your son is keeping under his bed?

Yes. dear. Saturn slugs. You just got a call from another boy.

Oh. If only l were rich instead of so popular.

lt was a Curly Quasar. He left his number. asked you to call.

Me? Miss Popularity call Curly Quasar?

He seemed nice enough.

Oh. Mother. he's nice all right. but he's just not with it.

-Know what l mean? -Certainly not.

-What are you holding behind your back? -Must you know everything?

Oh. Mother. you can't fool me.

You know how much l wanted to get new clothes this year.

Sorry. that's your father's tuxedo.

We have a formal engagement Saturday night.

Excuse me. dear.

Wow. Iooks like l don't even have a normal engagement for Saturday night.

So. Di-Di. Mom and Dad would never dress formally for my birthday...

...so l was finally convinced my party was over before it ever began.

JUDY: Thís tíme, Dí-Dí, l really messed up.

Here ít was. Saturday níght...

...Elroy was goíng to show hís ínventíon to Henry Orbít.

He and Orbítty had plans to spend the níght ín Henry's tool closet. Yuck.

Mom and Dad left for theír bíg event. glísteníng ín theír formal clothíng.

For a whíle. ít looked líke l was at least gonna have Astro for company that níght.

But then Rosíe took hím to the dog groomer.

And l was all alone.

Well. every night can't be New Year's Eve.

Terrific story. Loved it.

Think l'll nod off now. Good night.

But. Di-Di. there's a big finish.

l can hardly wait.

Well. this is one birthday girl who isn't staying home on her big night.

[PHONE RINGS]

Judy? What are you doíng home?

Dying of absolute Ioneliness and humiliation. Herbie.

-lt's Curly. -Whatever.

Yeah. but what about your surpríse bírthday party?

The big surprise was no birthday party.

Wow. that's a real downer. l'm sorry, Judy.

Well, l was íust callíng to see íf l could drop off a small gíft.

Really? How fast can you get here?

l'll be there at the speed of líght.

Oh. Curly. how thoughtful.

lt isn't much.

lt's the chartbuster of video verse.

There once was a lady from Níger Who rode wíth a smíle on a tíger

They came bach from the ríde Wíth the lady ínsíde

And a smíle on the face of the tíger

[LAUGHING]

[JUDY LAUGHING]

Too corny?

No way. l'm wild about old limericks. Curly.

You're a crack-up. l needed a good laugh tonight.

POET: There once was a student named Bríght

Whose speed was much faster than líght

She set out one day In a relatíve way

And returned on a prevíous níght

[LAUGHING]

Oh. l kill me.

CURLY: And here's one of my own limericks.

JUDY: Oh. Curly. this is so cute.

Though l'm no flashy guy l stíll gotta try

So l'll ash her out to a movíe?

You got it. Curly. That's the sweetest invite l've ever had.

Thanks for brightening my day. Curly. l feel a lot better now.

We're a pretty tight unit. but gee. not even one little happy birthday.

Not even one.

Surprise! Happy birthday. Judy!

Oh.

Thank you. everyone. This is a real surprise.

l knew you couldn't forget. This is a beautiful party.

And you deserve it. Judy. you're the greatest.

Oh. l'm so sorry. l promised Curly.

We don't always pick our friends. Sometimes they pick us.

Thanks. Curly.
