EXT. VENTURE COMPOUND – NIGHT
A bright object streaks across the sky. It impacts with a flash.
EXT. CLEARING NEAR COMPOUND – NIGHT
As the smoke clears out around the area, an alien spaceship can be seen. From between it's three legs a humanoid is lowered to the ground.
Thundering music as the robotic alien being approaches. His head a golden metal with antler-like extensions raising another foot above his cylindrical head. The rest of his 12-foot form seems to hover over the ground covered with a cloak.
We see his eye behind a red-colored monocle lens. The lens section rotates through it's 3 lenses until it settles on the green one. The CLOAKED ALIEN scans the Venture Compound searching for lifeforms. He sees an outline of RUSTY VENTURE. The CLOAKED ALIEN approaches the compound
INT. VENTURE COMPOUND – STUDY/POOL ROOM
BROCK SAMSON is vacuuming. The vacuum bumps a cardboard box under the bed. Brock retrieves and opens the box. He radios Rusty on his watch communicator.
BROCK
Hey Doc. Doc. Found something you might be interested in.
INT. VENTURE COMPOUND – BATHROOM
Rusty Venture is on the toilet, annoyed by Samson's summons.
OPENING TITLES
INT. VENTURE COMPOUND – POOLSIDE ROOM
Rusty walks in the room, heading towards Brock.
RUSTY
Alright, what's so important that...
Rusty stops as he notices Brock wearing a light blue t-shirt with a picture of a chocolate chip cookie.
BROCK
Is it? Found it in that box.
RUSTY
Take it off. You're stretching it out!
BROCK
Why do you care? It's been in a box for 20 years.
HANK VENTURE and DEAN VENTURE can be heard running into the room.
DEAN
((rummaging through the box))
Are you throwing this stuff out? 'Cause who can't use another sweater vest?
RUSTY
((to Brock))
It's way too tight. You look ridiculous.
BROCK
Yeah, you look great.
RUSTY
Insults. That's what you called me away from my spring cleaning for?
BROCK
((hands Rusty an old video camera))
No. Check this out.
RUSTY
Well, it's old, but we could probably get a few bucks for it. Good find.
BROCK
Not the camera. What I found inside it.
Brock puts a tape into an old VCR with a small TV screen next to it. After some static, JONAS VENTURE SR. appears on the screen.
DEAN
It's grandpa! He's alive.
HANK
And trapped, in the phantom zone!
Rusty grabs Hank by the collar and pulls him away.
HANK
I was just kidding. Jezz, I'm not a 'tard.
JONAS SR.
((continuing))
I knew you'd find this tape. You were always such a little video buff..
RUSTY
Once! I told him once I wanted to make videos. Next thing you know every holiday it's cameras, How-To books...
HANK
See pop, I've been meaning to tell you, I'm not really that into neckerchiefs.
RUSTY
((shushing the boys))
Shh, Wait. What did he say? Go back.
Brock pushes a button, rewinding the tape.
JONAS SR.
What I have to tell you is a matter of the gravest importance, Rusty. It has to do with those mysterious deep space radio signals. You know, the ones I received back when you were just a boy.
FLASHBACK
INT. VENTURE COMPOUND – JONAS' STUDY
Jonas Sr. tuning in an old-fashioned radio.
JONAS SR.
But what does it mean?
YOUNG RUSTY is hopping around on the carpet nearby.
YOUNG RUSTY
You can't walk on the red ones 'cause they're lava!
JONAS SR.
Shh, Rusty, please!
BACK TO PRESENT DAY
JONAS SR.
((on videotape))
Well after ten long years, I finally translated the broadcasts. I found something extraordinary! A message from far across time and space addressed to me personally. It has to do with my latest invention, the greatest of my career or anyone's...
JONAS SR.
((continuing))
Which I completed only a week ago!
RUSTY
Turn it up, I smell money.
EXT. VENTURE COMPOUND POOLSIDE - NIGHT
The Cloaked Alien moves across the side of the pool.
JONAS SR. (O.S.)
They warned me that mankind was still too immature to be trusted with it. They told me to dismantle it before it got into the wrong hands.
The alien looks through the windows into an empty room.
INT. VENTURE COMPOUND
The family continues to listen to the tape intently.
JONAS SR.
But they also told me that the fate of the planet hinged upon my machine being activated once. That's why I've scattered the main
components in secret locations across the globe, so no one...
Jonas Sr. is startled by a noise off screen
JONAS SR.
((frightened))
Someone's coming, they know!
The TV screen turns to static. Rusty turns to Brock, confused, but the picture returns.
JONAS SR.
((laughing))
False Alarm. OK, get a pen.
EXT VENTURE COMPOUND POOLSIDE NIGHT
The alien creature goes back to the pool, glancing at it before jumping in. He playfully bounces his hands off the immense cloak as it floats to the top of the pool.
JONAS SR. (O.S)
Once assembled the device must be activated at precisely midnight in New York City on May 4th of your 44th year.
INT VENTURE COMPOUND
BROCK
Doc, that's, like, tomorrow.
JONAS SR.
Should I fail to see that day it will be up to you, Rusty. Good luck, Godspeed and go, Team Venture!
A shadow appears behind the family. Hank turns around, astonished and frightened. He taps Dean on the shoulder and Dean looks up.
RUSTY
Yes, Dean, you're a big man now. Brock and I are...
Rusty turns around.
RUSTY
Ladysmith Black Mambazo!
The Cloaked Alien stands outside the glass doors to the room, towering over the family. They exit the doors to take a better look. The alien speaks loudly, his voice distorted as it comes over a speaker attached to his chest.
CLOAKED ALIEN
Earth man! I have traveled from an incredibly distant star to observe the ways of your planet.
HANK
((grabbing his crotch))
Oh, I can feel it in my chonies.
CLOAKED ALIEN
You have the honor of representing your entire race as my sample subjects.
RUSTY
Brock, there's a twelve-foot man in our pool pointing a beam at my head. Do something?
CLOAKED ALIEN
Whispering is futile! The Grand Galactic Inquisitor hears all, sees all!
RUSTY
Look we don't have time for this, okay? We're on a very tight...
The GRAND INQUISITOR, as the Cloaked Alien names itself, interrupts Rusty.
GRAND INQUISITOR
Do not speak to me! Do not alter your normal human behavior in any way. You know not the elaborate criteria by which you are to be judged. Ignore my presence and go about your earthly business!
Rusty inhales deeply and exhales in a sigh.
EXT. X-1 JET
DEAN
Here are some hand turkeys from Thanksgiving, 1968 and a bunch of your old homeworks.
INT. X-1 JET
Dean
((continuing))
Aw, neat! You wrote a fan letter to the Herculoids when you were ten?
Hank rips the letter from his brothers hands
HANK
Hey horses! It's not a fan letter. He calls them hippies for not fighting in Vietnam.
The Grand Galactic Inquisitor's eye telescopes over Hank's shoulder to peek at the letter. The tube vacuums up the letter.
GRAND INQUISITOR
Ignore me!
RUSTY
((to Brock))
Swing around back and have the X-2 running. I'll only be a minute. He'll never even know we were here.
The X-1 swings around the back of an island that looks like a Skull attached to spider legs.
INT. SPIDER-SKULL ISLAND BASE
Rusty searches around base with a light attached to his wristwatch. Suddenly the base lights turn on. A woman screams.
IBIZAN HOUSE GUEST
Que es eso?
A woman lying on the couch looks up towards Rusty. From the opposite end of the couch JONAS JR. raises his head.
INT. X-2 BOAT
Brock enters the darkened boat. He signals for the boys to follow him and they tippy toe in. A light shines on them and a voice beckons.
VOICE
Ahoy! Who goes there?
Brock leaps towards the voice and fighting ensues. Dean flips on the light to see Brock gripping the PIRATE CAPTAIN's legs in the air with his foot squarely pressed into the captain's crotch. Brock lets go.
PIRATE CAPTAIN
Gah, jeez. You people.
DEAN
Hey, it's that ghost pirate again.
HANK
Who isn't a ghost. Or a pirate even really.
BROCK
What are you doing here?
PIRATE CAPTAIN
Yeah, well you never seem to use the boat so I kinda started sleeping here. Only a couple a nights a week at first. You try finding a job with nothing on your resume but "Fake Ghost Pirate."
PIRATE CAPTAIN
Yeah, yeah, jeez. Anyhoo, I wakes up one day and there's this little fella standing there and he tells me it's his boat now, on account a your pa ate him up when he was wee. He hired me on as his ship's captain. So really it's kinda more my boat than yours at this point.
INT. SPIDER-SKULL ISLAND BASE
Jonas Jr. is opening the safe behind one of his paintings as Rusty looks on. The attractive woman inspects her nails in the foreground.
JONAS JR.
Met her last week in Ibiza at Fiesta Scientifico. It's not serious.
RUSTY
That was last week? Damn post office must've lost my invitation.
JONAS JR.
I'm sure. Here we are. So, let's have a look at this famous tape of yours.
Jonas Sr.'s tape is projected onto a movie screen on one of the base's walls.
JONAS SR.
It will be up to you, Rusty. Good luck, Godspeed and go, Team Venture!
DEAN
That part always chokes me up.
JONAS JR.
Well I did have a pitch at the Pentagon tomorrow, but I guess I can move it. This seems pretty important.
RUSTY
((in a mocking Jonas Jr. voice))
This seems pretty important.
((normal voice))
Who invited you?! Just lend us the damn boat for a few hours.
Jonas Jr.
You can't do this alone, Rust. Three more pieces scattered around the globe in 16 hours?
BROCK
What are you thinking, two teams?
JONAS JR.
Three. You take the X-1. The captain and I'll take the X-2. The boys can pick up the fourth piece in the
X-X-1.
JONAS JR.
We'll rendezvous in New York.
RUSTY
Hello!? Who's running this show?
JONAS JR.
Everyone ready?
everyone
Go Team Venture!
EXT. SPIDER-SKULL ISLAND
The X-2 sails away from the island as the X-1 and X-X-1 fly off, all going in separate directions.
INT. X-X-1 JET
Hanks lays back in the pilot seat as the plane automatically flies itself.
HANK
So much cooler than ours. We got to get uncle JJ to make one of these for pops.
DEAN
Space Invaders! He's got Space Invaders in the lounge. And he's got a lounge!
EXT. SOMEWHERE IN THE OCEAN - DAY
The Pirate Captain and Jonas Jr. are in diving suits as marine life swims around them. The Pirate Captain suddenly stops.
PIRATE CAPTAIN
Jesus Jones! Now there was a band. Yippers, back in the summer of '91. We all thought they was going to be the future of rock and roll.
The pair are swimming towards a large diving bell.
JONAS JR.
They sound great!
PIRATE CAPTAIN
Were great.
JONAS JR.
They're not around anymore?
PIRATE CAPTAIN
No, sir, not so's anyone'd notice, anyway.
Jonas Jr. rings the buzzer on the bottom of the diving bell. As the lights in the bell flicker to life, a figure can be seen through the window of the diving bell. As the figure stands up, it groans and bottles clink.
JONAS JR.
Quest Bell One. This is Jonas Venture Jr. Request permission to board.
A buzzer sounds as the hatch is unlocked. Jonas Jr. enters.
INT. QUEST BELL ONE
A finger is lifted off the buzzer. The shaking hand of JONNY QUEST tightly grips a pistol.
DREAM SEQUENCE
EXT. VENTURE COMPOUND DAY
Rusty is floating through air. He's buck naked and right above his censored region is a thick umbilical cord leading downward. Rusty feels a tug on it and looks down to see his father, Jonas Sr., naked and connected to the other end of the cord.
JONAS SR.
Come on, Rusty. Keep it up.
JONAS JR.
I can help, pop.
Jonas Jr., also naked, grabs the umbilical cord and runs off with it.
RUSTY
No, Jonas, no! I was doing fine, let go. I don't want your help.
Brock Samson, super naked and smoking a cigarette, flies next to Rusty.
INT. X-1 JET
Brock is shoving Rusty to wake him up.
BROCK
Wake up! We're almost there.
RUSTY
Ugh. I thought I was done with those crappy dreams.
GRAND INQUISITOR
That was a weird one!
RUSTY
Great, you can read my mind.
GRAND INQUISITOR
Ignore me!
Rusty shivers and crosses his arms.
GRAND INQUISITOR
Yes, I can.
EXT. COL GENTLEMAN'S LOFT
HANK and DEAN
Hello! Colonel Gentleman.
INT. COL. GENTLEMAN'S LOFT
HANK
Maybe he's not here.
DEAN
Pop said he'd radio him we were coming.
HANK
Pop forgets my name half the time. Come on, let's look around. Maybe he left, like, a note or something.
Dean moves a curtain to find COL. GENTLEMAN lying in bed.
DEAN
Found him! Colonel Gentleman? Hi. It's Hank and Dean Venture. We're here for...
Dean shrieks after getting a good look at the Colonel, who is most assuredly dead.
INT. QUEST BELL ONE
An old tape machine plays sounds of dolphins. Jonas Jr. and the Pirate Captain are walking along the edge of the bell as Jonny Quest, in his underwear, points his gun at them from the opposite side.
Jonas Jr. laughs. Jonny fires a warning shot at his feet. It rips a hole in the floor and water shots through.
JONNY
Are... you... cops!?
PIRATE CAPTAIN
Let me handle this, chairman. No, sir. We ain't five-oh.
Jonny walks back and forth between them furtively.
JONNY
((stuttering))
You holding?
PIRATE CAPTAIN
No we ain't, captain
PIRATE CAPTAIN
We're just looking for an old gizmo about
((hold his raised hand parallel to the floor))
yay big. Few years back this fella's old man left it with your old man.
JONAS JR.
Yes, your father was...
JONNY
Woah! Don't you talk about my father! Ow!
INT. COL. GENTLEMAN'S LOFT
Hank is poking Col. Gentleman's body.
HANK
You can't get cooties from a dead body, Dean. That's a total myth.
DEAN
Not cooties, Hank. Clueties. We need to preserve the crime scene because I smell a mystery.
HANK
Well I smell dead guy. We don't have time for mystery, Sherlock Homo. If we don't find that piece of grandpa's thing, then... then... Wait. What happens if we don't find that piece of grandpa's thing?
INT. QUEST BELL ONE
Jonny is screaming. The Pirate Captain steps on some old pill vials. Jonny is shaking and scratching
PIRATE CAPTAIN
All right, all right. Just put the gun down, will ya? You wouldn't want to hurt the doctor, would ya?
JONNY
You.. You're a doctor?
JONAS JR.
Well, I... I'm not a medical doctor. I just have a PhD. It's...
PIRATE CAPTAIN
That's right. He's a doctor. And he can write you a prescription for, oh, anything you might need.
JONAS JR.
Oh, right. What seems to be the trouble Mr. Quest?
JONNY
((drops to the floor))
I'm in real pain.
INT. COL GENTLEMAN'S LOFT
Hank is rummaging through the pockets of the Col's jacket. Dean picks up a journal off of the colonel's nightstand.
DEAN
Check this out: "Dear diary, another dreary party at the Frosts' flat. But, oh, the bitches were in rare form tonight..."
HANK
Skip ahead. Maybe later he talks about grandpa's thing.
DEAN
Wait, there's some kind of a list. Could be a clue. "Toys Colonel Gentleman wishes he had when he was a lad.."
FLASHBACK
INT. COL GENTLEMAN'S DEN
Col. Gentleman is scribbling in his journal.
COL. GENTLEMAN
But they weren't invented yet. Micronauts. Scooby-Doo Monster Game. Which Witch. AT-AT Imperial Walker. Stay Alive, The Survival Game.
BACK TO PRESENT
INT. COL. GENTLEMAN'S DEN
Hank is listening to Dean while he props his chin on one of the Col.'s canes.
DEAN
"Colonel Gentleman's good names for an imaginary friend." "Colonel Gentleman's Hollywood actresses who need a smack in the mouth" They go on and on. This is a crazy person's diary.
HANK slips as the head of the cane he's leaning on falls off. He lifts it up to look inside as the contents slide out and hit him in the eye. Hank yelps.
DEAN
You found it! Good eye, Hank.
EXT. X-2 BOAT IN OCEAN - DAY
The X-X-1 flies over the boat and begins to land.
DEAN (O.S.)
((filtered through radio))
Venture 2 to Venture-1. We're coming in for a landing. Do you copy?
PIRATE CAPTAIN (0.S.)
Roger, Venture 2. You're clear for landing.
INT. X-2 BOAT
PIRATE CAPTAIN
Next stop, New York.
Pirate Captain looks over to a moping Jonas Jr.
PIRATE CAPTAIN
Stop your sourpussing. We got what you needed.
J.J. gives the Captain an unhappy look.
EXT. ONE IMPOSSIBLE PLAZA - DAY
RUSTY
One Impossible Plaza. Worldwide headquarters of Impossible Industries and allegedly the most technologically advanced skyscraper in the nation.
RUSTY
But what stood in this very spot 20 years ago? Anyone?
((a split- second pause))
It was Venture Industries World Headquarters, thank you. Somewhere in that foundation is the last piece of my father's little puzzle.
BROCK
And Professor Impossible's just going to let you dig up his basement.
RUSTY
Yeah, how about you stick to the heavy lifting and leave the heavy thinking to the super scientist, hmm? Ole doc's got something even my brother doesn't have. Someone on the inside.
INT. ONE IMPOSSIBLE PLAZA - BEDROOM
SALLY IMPOSSIBLE is packing items into a bag. Through a door PROF. RICHARD IMPOSSIBLE's head stretches into the room.
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE
Going somewhere, Sally?
SALLY
((startled))
I...I just have to pick a few things up at the store, Richard.
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE
((the rest of his body enters the room))
Stop that nonsense. I'll send a man out. Just type up a little list and...
SALLY
No! I want to go. I, I need some fresh air.
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE
Well all right. I'll allow it this one time. Will you be taking the child?
SALLY
Ned's going to watch him.
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE
Oo, I'm not really... comfortable with that.
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE
He's retarded, Sally. You've seen Of Mice and Men, you know what can happen. Please! Can't you just leave the child with Huggy?
SALLY
((annoyed, her skin begins to turn invisible))
Stop calling him the child, Richard! His name is Rocket. And I'm not leaving him with your crappy robot!
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE
Sally! Why that's almost churlish. And you're visible. What's this really about?
SALLY
You can't replace family with a robot, Richard. We need real human affection.
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE
That's why Huggy's programmed to simulate it, sweetness.
Sally groans, frustrated. She decides to ask again nicely.
SALLY
Please, Richard. Let me go.
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE
Yes, yes. Perhaps the fresh air will... uh... calm the... female...uh...
SALLY
Don't strain yourself, Richard. Good-bye.
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE
Hmm. Real human affection? Perhaps a pill or a burst of Gamma radiation or... Wait a minute. Sally, wait. Would you like some company?
INT. SUBWAY STATION
Sally waits for the train. Two bodyguards join her for company. The train stops and she gets on.
As the bodyguards begin to follow two strong arms grab them from behind and Brock Samson smashes their heads against the closing train doors, knocking them out. Brock gives Sally a salute. She turns to see Rusty waiting for her on a seat.
RUSTY
Hello again... Sally.
SALLY
((eyes lighting up))
Dr. Venture!
She runs to him and gives him a hug. Rusty, surprised by the hug, pats her back in an half-assed way.
SALLY
When you called me, I couldn't believe it. You never answered any of my letters. I worried you'd forgotten me and moved on, but I never gave up hope. The only thing that made my life bearable was the hope that some day you'd come for me and Rocket.
RUSTY
Where is your boy, Ru-Rocky was it?
SALLY
Rocket. I had his Uncle Ned take him to the park just where you said.
RUSTY
And you're sure he didn't say anything to your husband?
SALLY
No, no. I promised him a a great big ice cream cone if he could keep a secret.
EXT. PARK - DAY
NED, in a NY sports team branded winter wear, is clapping his hands in front of the X-1, with Hank and Dean sitting bored on it's stairway. Ned runs off towards...
HANK
((getting up after Ned))
No, dude, wait! We're supposed to stay on the...
Hank bumps into one of the bodyguards and is knocked down.
Ned runs toward an ice cream cart and grabs for an ice cream cone the vendor is holding. A guard grabs it before Ned..
NED
Bad man take Ned's ice cream.
Ned pushes the guard down and he looks down to the dropped ice cream cone. He begins to cry. Suddenly electricity arcs through his body as he is tasered by another of the guards.
IMPOSSIBLE SECURITY GUARD
Someone want to help me with the human callous here? Anyone? A little help?
The other guards are carrying off an unconscious Hank and Dean. From amongst Ned's knocked out body, ROCKET IMPOSSIBLE crawls away.
INT. SUBWAY TRAIN
RUSTY
Sally, there's something I need you to do for me before we go off and live happily ever after.
SALLY
((rubbing Rusty's leg))
Oh Dr. Venture, anything. Just do one thing for me. Pinch me! Because I must be dreaming. I can't believe you're really here!
SUBWAY BUM
It's okay lady, I see him too!
INT. ONE IMPOSSIBLE PLAZA HALLWAY
BROCK
This is just... wrong, man. Even for you. Look at her.
Sally is at a console panel at the elevator. She waits, dancing.
RUSTY
I have watched you pull a man's eyes from his head and make him dance like a marionette with his own optic nerves.
BROCK
Least I didn't break his heart.
RUSTY
You don't know that.
Overhead, the IMPOSSIBLE COMPUTER system uses the speakers in the room to announce the outcome of Sally's button pushing at the elevator.
IMPOSSIBLE COMPUTER
Access Granted.
IMPOSSIBLE COMPUTER
Welcome. This is Impossible.
They enter the elevator. Stepping off when they reach their floor, Rusty looks confused.
RUSTY
Uh, funny face? This doesn't look like the basement.
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE
That's because it's not!
Richard lifts Brock and Rusty with each of his stretchy arms and places them both into steel chairs with electrical constraints. Sitting in similar chairs are the rest of the Venture family as well as the Pirate Captain and Ned.
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE
((to Sally))
Pick up everything you needed at the store, honey?
RUSTY
((to Jonas Jr.))
Oh, great. What are you doing here? You were supposed to be our rescue team.
JONAS JR.
What do you want from me? You had super kill guy with you and you still got caught.
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE
You see, Dr. Venture, I found the piece your father hid in the foundation years ago. Then I thought about you in physics class. You were a day-dreamer, a sass mouth and not infrequently, a bit of a giggle puss.
Richard walks over to the almost completely assembled invention of Jonas Venture Sr. It looks like a metal doorway with some added instruments and a pad at it's base. Mr. Impossible is putting the finishing touches on it.
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE
Somehow I doubt twenty years of amphetamines and failure have done everything to improve that. And you see, this invention is simply too important to trust to someone like yourself.
SALLY
Richard? Where's Rocket?
Richard mumbles.
SALLY
I can't believe you!
JONAS JR.
H.E.L.P.eR., come in H.E.L.P.eR.
RUSTY
Oh, now he's bossing my robot around. You see this?! Wait, you have a radio in your collar?
JONAS JR.
Of course! What kind of an idiot would strap his only means of emergency communication to his wrist? They always tie you up.
RUSTY
Oh, well, fancy schmancy!
EXT. PARK - NIGHT
H.E.L.P.eR. has his head sticking out of the X-1 and is receiving the message from Jonas.
JONAS JR. (O.S.)
((filtered by radio))
H.E.L.P.eR., we need you to access the Impossible security system and get us free.
H.E.L.P.eR. beeps in reply and rolls down the X-1 stairway on his way to One Impossible Plaza.
GRAND INQUISITOR (O.S)
Hello!? Anyone?! Okay, the Grand Galactic Inquisitor is coming out! But you are to continue to ignore me! OK? All right, I'm taking that as a yes!
The Grand Galactic Inquisitor exits the X-1 and stretches.
The Inquisitor hears a baby babbling and turns his head to see Rocket crawling in his direction.
GRAND INQUISITOR
Someone left a baby!
The Inquisitor picks up the baby and studies him for a second.
GRAND INQUISITOR
Ignore me!
INT. ONE IMPOSSIBLE PLAZA HALLWAY
H.E.L.P.eR. is trying to hack into the building's security system. A shadow falls on him.
ROBOT VOICE
Halt! Identify yourself.
H.E.L.P.eR. rolls away from the voice.
INT. ONE IMPOSSIBLE PLAZA
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE (O.S)
How do you even know he's mine? The way you alley cat around with every washed-up scientist who blows through town.
The electrical restraints begin to shut off. Jonas rubs his wrists. He looks at Brock and gives him a nod as he rolls up his sleeves.
INT. ONE IMPOSSIBLE PLAZA HALLWAY
H.E.L.P.eR., frightened, has a large red laser sight focused on him. A robot is approaching him with it's arms up in an aggressive manner.
ROBOT VOICE
Three... Two... One... Engage.
The robot embraces H.E.L.P.eR. It's HUGGY, the Impossibles' nanny robot who eternally struggles to imitate the affection that comes so natural to humans. His LCD face turns into a smile.
INT. ONE IMPOSSIBLE PLAZA
SALLY
He's out there somewhere. You have to do something!
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE
((talking over Sally))
Sally please...
SALLY
Stop working on that and do something.
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE
This is important.
SALLY
What could be more important than your family, Richard?
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE
SSSS..
((hesitating))
Science?
Brock, appearing from the side, grabs a section of Richard's cheek and stretches his face out.
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE
Of all the intolerable bug-a-boos!
Jonas Jr. joins in, jet-packing up to Richard's hand and snagging his drill. Brock brings the stretched out skin to a wall as Jonas grabs the other side of Richard's face. They begin to screw Richard's flesh to the wall.
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE
Gentlemen, this is a family discussion. Ow. You have no idea who you're dealing with, do you?! I am Professor Richard Impossible! I can do this!
Richard inflates his body until it's taking up nearly the whole area of the room. The other occupants start to hug the wall.
EXT. ONE IMPOSSIBLE PLAZA - NIGHT
Everyone, save Richard, is forcefully pushed through the glass windows. Screams as they begin their journey to the harsh ground. Brock grabs part of Richard's body, stretching forcing it to continue stretching downward. Rusty grabs a piece and everyone else begins to follow suit. With a free hand Richard snags Jonas Sr.'s invention.
The entire crew, all holding onto Richard, all fall through a grate in street and dangle in the middle of a subway tunnel, just in front of an oncoming train!
Just before impact they all bungee back up, but Sally slips and begins to fall!
PIRATE CAPTAIN
Man overboard!
Jonas thinks quick and jumps off the stretching body, activates his jet pack and flies after her. He makes a nice catch.
The rest on the Impossible Rubber Ride are brought back into the subway tunnel, this time behind the train. Brock grabs one of the train's rails and ties a loose end of Prof. Impossible's body to it.
They all climb up the body and exit on the street. Below in the tunnels, the train starts to take off, putting further strain on Richard's body.
PROF. IMPOSSIBLE
Oh, weight limit exceeded!
Richard strains under the stress on his body. Finally, the railing snaps and he's relieved, for only a moment. The rest of his body snaps back up, bringing with it the railing. It smacks him in the face, hard. Unconscious, Richard drops the invention. It falls to the ground below right in front of where the group escaped the subway tunnels. The invention appears unharmed.
The alarm on Brock's watch goes off. He looks at it to see that it is now Midnight. Silence. The group looks at the invention then at each other. Rusty shrugs.
The Grand Inquisitor arrives in a taxi.
GRAND INQUISITOR
Good news, sample subjects of Earth! The glorious moment of judgment is upon you!
TAXI CAB DRIVER
Hey, it's 8.20 on the meter, Stretch.
GRAND INQUISITOR
Ignore me!
JONAS JR.
Who the hell is that?
RUSTY
Long story. Just ignore him.
From behind them a glow emanates from the invention. A bright portal of some sort has filled the doorway. Amidst the glow Jonas Sr. approaches.
Jonas Sr. grabs a ray gun from his lab coat pocket and fires it! The beam hits the Grand Inquisitor, going through his head. He yelps and falls to the ground, dead. Rocket is still in his hand, unharmed. Rocket babbles as his mother, Sally, picks him up. Jonas Sr. heads back towards the portal.
RUSTY
Wait a minute. Where are you going?
JONAS SR.
Where you can't follow, Rusty.
RUSTY
Don't go. There's so much I want to ask you, so many unanswered questions.
DEAN
Like, what's that big yellow thing in Pop's lab do?
HANK
Yeah, and if you drop a penny from the Empire State Building does it go through your whole body or..
RUSTY
Boys, quiet! I'm trying to have a family moment here.
Rusty walks towards his father.
RUSTY
((continuing))
Where have you been for the past twenty years? Why haven't you contacted me?
((crying))
How can you just leave me all alone?
JONAS SR.
Oh Rusty. You were never alone. Those stars - Well, okay, you can't see them right now because we're in the city – but those stars, they're always watching us.
Jonas heads back towards the portal
RUSTY
Wait, stay with us!
JONAS JR.
Yes, please stay. I'm your other son. We've never met.
JONAS SR.
Oh, all right. Look, I'm not really your father, OK? I'm an alien who was sent here at this appointed time to kill that guy because he would have destroyed all life as you know it.
ALIEN JONAS
I took the form of your dad because I figured it would be easier to accept. I didn't want to stress you out. End of the world, life on other planets, blah blah blah.
RUSTY
Why.. you... son of a bitch! Do you know what you just put me through? What the {expletive deleted} were you thinking? What kind of {a rather good expletive deleted} up planet are you from where you think showing up as my dead {expletive starting with “fuc” and ending in “king” was deleted} father is supposed to make me feel any better?!
ALIEN JONAS
Okay, take it easy.
ALIEN JONAS
Look, I just saved your entire planet.
ALIEN JONAS
All right, fine. You wanna see? Here!
Alien Jonas begins to remove his disguise. Cut to the crowd looking horrified as an eerie yellow glow flashes over them. Haunting high-pitched growls and screams occur off screen.
ALIEN JONAS
There! That would've been better? If I'd' shown up like that out of nowhere. Look at you! You practically crapped your pants. Except him,
((points at Ned))
he crapped his pants!
ALIEN JONAS
We know what we're doing up there, okay? So don't second guess me. Just get in your little plane, go back to your little lives and thank your lucky stars someone in this universe is looking out for you! Ungrateful little half-monkeys.
Alien Jonas exits through the portal.
The portal closes, imploding on itself, and taking the doorway invention with it.
RUSTY
Great. So we haul ass all over the world, almost got ourselves killed and now nothing to show for it. Not even gas money.
BROCK
We did kinda, like, save the world. I guess.
DEAN
And that big guy finally shut up.
JONAS JR.
And we worked together, like a family.
HANK and DEAN
Go Team Venture!
END CREDITS
Jonas Jr. stands on the city street looking up to the night sky. Next to him stand the Pirate Captain.
JONAS JR.
Life among the stars. Pretty amazing stuff, eh, Captain?
PIRATE CAPTAIN
Yippers, boss.
Rocket, in his mother's arms, tugs on Jonas' pony tail.
SALLY
I'm sorry. Rocket, no. He likes you. Oh, I'm s..
JONAS JR.
Sally Impossible!
SALLY
Have we met before?
JONAS JR.
Not that you know of. I'm Jonas. Jonas Venture Jr. You can call me JJ, if you like.
Jonas Jr. offers his hand and Sally shakes it.
PIRATE CAPTAIN
Hoo! You can almost hear the old humpbacks a'callin'. Yep.
RUSTY
We better get moving, Brock. You know how clingy old skull face over there can get. And I likes my independence.
BROCK
((looking up))
That's pretty f'd up, man.
RUSTY
Oh, don't tell me you were sucked in by all that “You're not alone” crap, too?
BROCK
I've seen some weird stuff in my life, but this...
RUSTY
((looks up))
Hmm. Yeah. Should we help him?
