[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.

♪ What is a star, anyway? ♪

♪ They're big balls

Of gassss ♪

[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.
