[RAGTIME MUSIC PLAYS]
[CHUCKLES]
Mm?
POPS:
Ooh.
Lovely.
Papa, I just saw
the most beautiful
planet in the sky.
Calm down.
It's just a planet.
And don't touch
that telescope.
It's family heirloom.
We're gonna sell it soon.
[WARBLES]
Yes, papa.
[ROCK & ROLL MUSIC PLAYS]
That planet should be
visible any minute now.
There you are, Jack.
It's Pops.
I need you to come
down to the tikihut with me.
I got to convince some
investors that I'm a family man.
Hop in.
Mm.
[BREATHING DEEPLY]
[WARBLES]
Oh.
Yes, Daddy-o.
[ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYS]
All right, planet,
this time
it's just you and me.
The telescope's ready,
the door is locked,
and Papa is at a business
retreat in Bora Bora.
Nothing can stop me now.
Whoa!
Sorry, son.
Didn't know you were in there.
What about Bora Bora?
Bora Boring is more like it!
Besides, I wanted to get
some work done around the house.
Hyah!
[WARBLING]
Oh.
Maybe next time.
Okay, so that's
about it for assignments.
So how about some
announcements, huh?
So-- wait.
Where's Muscle Man?
I need to tell everyone that--
[FAX RINGS]
Is that from
the dome guys?
What do they want this time?
Everybody just calm down.
Let me check it.
"Be at the meeting soon.
Got held up
in my own morning meeting,
if you know what I mean.
Sincerely, Muscle Man."
Hey, Benson,
did you get my fax?
Did you get what I meant?
[SHRIEKS]
[SIGHS] That's what
I wanted to tell everyone.
It's nothing
to be concerned about,
but the house is infested
with an aggressive
strain of termites...
Uh...
...that are just
a little bit
poisonous.
[WHIMPERS]
Anyway, because
of security reasons,
the dome guys have arranged
for the exterminators.
They're coming today,
and the house will be
tented tonight.
So, Pops, I'm sorry
for the inconvenience,
but you won't be able
to sleep here tonight.
I beg your pardon?
But we've got a reservation
for you at Sleep Lodge.
They've got a pool,
on-call masseuse,
24-hour breakfast bar.
Frankly,
I wish I was staying there.
What about us?
Where are we gonna sleep?
Yeah, you got to leave.
Aw, come on, Benson!
Yeah, that's not fair!
Excuse me, but Pops and I
were having a conversation!
Benson, I can't.
Tonight, I have an appointment
at the park with an old friend.
Really? Who?
I don't know
her name exactly,
but she's visible via telescope
once every 25 years.
She's pink and made of rock
and is hundreds of thousands
of miles wide.
Who is this giant,
magic woman?
A planet.
He's talking about a planet.
My favorite planet.
I felt a strange connection
to her my entire life.
If I miss her tonight,
I might never see her again.
Can't we "reshedule"?
Sorry, Pops, there's no way
to reshe-- reske-- dang.
Reschedule.
There's no way to reschedule.
Oh, you know what
we haven't done in a while?
Try to make
triple-fried corn dogs?
No, dude. Camping.
How fun would it be
if the three of us
camped out tonight
and looked at that planet
with Pops?
That sounds like
an enchanting idea.
So...you don't want
your hotel room anymore?
No.
Okay. I'll take it then.
Roughing it will suit us
just fine, thank you.
Now, if you all don't mind,
I've got a date
with that 24-hour breakfast bar.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Gas balls.
[CHUCKLES]
Yes, stars are great.
But now back to what
I was saying
before you interrupted me
with that really long song.
The universe is filled with
billions and billions of stars.
Mankind has been looking
to the skies for generations
and noticing beautiful pictures
known as constellations,
like Ursa Major, Ursa Minor,
and Orion's Breakfast.
BOTH:
Whoa!
Normally I hate
learning about stuff,
but this is
pretty all right, Pops.
Well, boys, I'd say
it's about time
we set up the telescope.
Whoa. That's awesome.
This is like
a real telescope.
Yeah. We had no idea
you were so into astronomy.
Yes, I really do love it.
You know,
it's quite amazing.
With this simple device,
you can see planets and stars
too far away
to reach on your own.
And that viewing experience
can help you
put things in perspective.
Totally.
I've had a fascination
with this particular planet
since the first time
I saw it.
It should appear
right there.
I can't wait
to show her to you.
And now for the final
and arguably
most important piece
of the viewing experience.
Oh, dear!
What's wrong?
It seems I've misplaced
the eyepiece.
It must be in my room,
where I was cleaning it
in preparation
for tonight's viewing.
I'm afraid without the eyepiece,
the telescope is useless.
BOTH:
Aw, man!
Well, we'll just have
to flutter on in
like a murder of crafty crows
and bring it back to our nest.
So we're just going to
your room to get the eyepiece?
Precisely!
Hmm.
Maybe we should check with
Benson, see if it's okay.
[DIALING]
[CELLPHONE VIBRATING]
Waitress, more butter.
He didn't answer,
so I guess it's fine.
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]
Whoa. Those must be
some crazy termites.
[♪♪♪]
Yeah. I don't think
we're getting in there.
I guess the dome guys
are fixing the porch?
Hey, Pops,
is that the planet?
Yes, it is.
We only have an hour
before she fades away
for another 25 years.
BOTH: What?!
Didn't know we only had an hour.
What are we gonna do?
Hmm.
[TWINKLES]
Perhaps
Skips will have an idea.
Doesn't seem likely,
but it's worth a shot.
Ah, here we go.
Thank you, Skips.
I knew you would--
Oh, wait.
This is just an electric
nose-hair trimmer.
[TRIMMER WHIRS]
Oh, bother.
Sorry, Pops.
I thought I had
an old eyepiece in here,
but I can't find it.
Great.
How are we gonna see
Pops' planet now?
I guess we have to wait
another 25 years?
Hmm.
I should be free.
Thank you for looking,
Skips,
but there must be
something else we can do.
Well, there's that abandoned
observatory deep in the park.
It's been out of commission
for quite a while,
but there's no reason
we couldn't make it work.
I'm pretty sure
I know the way there.
Smashing!
We'll be modern-day
astronomers in no time.
and I really mean no time,
because the planet will be
out of view soon, very soon.
[HUMMING]
Man, that dude
does not break.
What do you mean?
He's always super positive.
Do you know anyone
more positive than Pops?
Benson?
[BOTH LAUGH]
[SIGH]
But seriously,
think of all the stuff
that should've set Pops off,
but he totally kept his cool.
Yeah, you're right.
If Benson kicked me
out of the house,
I would've been furious.
He did kick you out.
And I was furious.
But Pops has been a trooper
this whole time.
As a guy with a lot of rage
just below the surface,
I'm really impressed.
How does he do it?
I don't know.
just a Pops thing, I guess.
We're here.
[♪♪♪]
Oh, what a wonderful telescope.
Quickly, Skips, let's set it up.
BOTH:
Whoa!
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Quit messing around!
BOTH: Sorry.
I've got it!
The telescope's ready!
Aw, yeah! Time to look
at the planets time!
[GRUNTS]
Oh, no!
[ELECTRICITY ZAPPING]
Wha...?
Aaah!
Aaaah!
[SCREAMING]
I can't move.
What is this?
[GRUNTS]
We got to break
that mechanism somehow.
[ALL GRUNTING]
Maybe we can
call for help.
[TWINKLES]
But that will take too long.
She's almost out of sight.
Sorry, Pops, but as long
as that globe is still on,
we're definitely gonna
miss seeing your planet.
[GROANING]
It's not fair.
Uh, I don't know
what to tell you.
We're really sorry?
I'm not going to wait
another moment.
We're going to see my planet.
[GRUNTS]
Dude, Pops,
it's just a planet.
[GRUNTING CONTINUES]
Huh?
What the...?
[WARBLING]
[CLANKING]
[COUGHING]
[POPS LAUGHS]
POPS:
Hello again, old friend.
I've missed you.
Fellows,
come have a look.
It's glorious.
What...just happened?
I...have no idea.
[♪♪♪]
