The Jetsons (1962–1963): Season 1, Episode 2 - A Date with Jet Screamer - full transcript

Judy enters a song writing contest and wins a date with Jet Screamer, much to George's chagrin. That evening he follows his daughter and the flamboyant rock star to the concert hall where ...

Meet George Jetson

His boy, Elroy

Daughter, Judy

Jane, his wife

Well, here we go again.

Another night,
another traffic jam.

Boy, this spaceway traffic
gets worse every night.

Hey, looks like an opening
up ahead!

There's another one.

Space hog!

I better cut around
and try and slide in.



Sunday astronaut!

Hey, you!

What do you think this is,
the Indianapolis 500,000?

All right, all right. Pull up.

- What's your name, speedy?
- George J. Jetson.

George Jetson, eh?
Well, Georgie, let's see what we got here.

- Passing under traffic.
- Yeah.

- 3500 in a 2500-mile zone.
- It's true.

- Et cetera, et cetera.
- I didn't see the ''et cetera.''

Well, watch it.

I'll call you back, Mother,
as soon as I finish my housework.

- George will be home any minute.
- All right, dear.

- And don't work too hard.
- Bye, Mother.

Well, I might as well start
with the vacuuming.



Now, cut that out.

It's always us careful drivers
they're after.

You try to obey the laws, be courteous,
and what do you get?

A ticket, every time.

I wonder what's keeping George.
He's late tonight.

Oh, here he comes now.

Judy, your father's here.

Isn't it about time
your friends went home?

But, Mom, Jet Screamer
is singing on television.

You know he's my idol.

Well, keep the sound down.
He's not your father's idol.

I guess that's all those guys have to do,
give out tickets.

Why aren't they out chasing burglars?

What a way to end the day.

Why do they always have
to pick on me?

The third traffic ticket this week.

Tickets, tickets, tickets!

This is more like it.

Hello, honey.

Bad day at the office?

Yeah. Those three-hour workdays
are killing me.

Hey, what is it?
Chinese New Year?

No, dear. It's a meeting
of the Jet Screamer Fan Club.

- He's on TV.
- Oh, not Jet Screamer again.

I will not put up with that noise.

I want quiet!

Daddy, can we have
a little quiet, please?

We can't hear the music.

Quiet, huh?
I'll give her quiet.

And here he is, the star of the show...

...Jet Screamer!

Baby, baby, baby!

Everyone out there,
turn on the antigravity floor...

...and let's do the Solar Swivel!

One antigravity floor coming up.

I know
a swingin' place yeah

Out on the edge of space

The band has got a beat

Lifts you off your feet

You're dancin' in the air

But you don't care

'Cause you're doin'
a solar swivel hey

Beware

Swivel in the middle

Swivel on the top

Swivel on the bottom

Never wanna stop

Go go swivel
swivel swivel...

Honey, those kids
are gonna kill themselves.

But, George, dear,
they like to dance to that music.

Dance? All they're doing is wearing
their clothes out from the inside.

And music, you call that music?

And, George,
when you play your drums...

...Judy doesn't call that music.
So you're even.

Oh, yeah?
I'll take the drums every time.

Where are you going?

Down to the corner to get some bananas.

But you don't eat bananas.

I'm not gonna eat them.
I'm gonna stuff them in my ears.

Swivel in the middle

Swivel on the top

Swivel on the bottom

Never wanna stop

Do the swivel
Yeah yeah

Now you're doin' the swivel

Baby baby

Oh, my, what a mess.

- Have they all gone?
- Yep, all gone.

Well, that Jet Screamer has got
to go too.

- Where's Judy?
- In her bedroom.

Well, we're gonna have
a nice little Daddy-to-dame talk.

Judy.

Just a minute, Dad.

Oh, doing your homework, huh?

Nope. I'm writing a song lyric.

- A song lyric?
- That's right.

Jet Screamer has a contest.

If your song wins, you get to go out
with him on a real date.

I can't lose, Dad.
Listen:

Jet Screamer, Screamer
Screamer, Screamer, Screamer

I'm a dreamer, dreamer
Dreamer, dreamer, dreamer

When the trumpets blare
I wanna run barefoot

Through your jet-black
Hair, hair, hair, hair

Hey, hey, well, don't slip
on all that hair oil.

- But, Pops!
- And don't ''Pops'' me, young lady.

Until you get back to doing your homework,
no more Jet Screamer tapes...

...no more Jet Screamer pictures
and no more Jet screamer anything!

Baby, baby, baby!

Well, that's one down and one to go.

- Honey, where's Elroy?
- Oh, he's up at the playground, dear.

Elroy, time for dinner.

Gee, Pop, do I have to come now?

Oh, that kid.

Yes, Elroy, it's time to come home.

Well, so long, Irving.

See you tomorrow.
Same time, same sandbox.

Well, what took you so long?

Oh, we were playing, Dad.

All right, hop in the
shower, son, and--

Playing what?

Writing messages in secret code. See?

Oh, let me see that.

In secret code means:

"Meet me tonight."

Dad, that's supposed to be secret.

Yeah, yeah. Wait a minute.

- Means: "Don't be late."
- But, Dad!

Come on, suppertime,
or ''wham bam bop.''

- What does that mean?
- "Wham," if we're late for dinner...

...and "bam,"
your mother's gonna bop us.

- Well, what will it be for dinner tonight?
- I want a pizza!

- Me too!
- All right, to make it unanimous.

Okay, one unanimous pizza coming up.

Now, let's see.
Oh, here's the card.

''Flying sausage pizza.''

Elroy!

Can't you wait for the rest of us?

Sorry, Mom.

It's sure nice to have some peace
and quiet for a change.

You know, I had a talk with Judy, and
that Jet Screamer is finished around here.

- That's nice.
- Night, Dad. Night, Mom.

Can you mail this for me in the morning,
please? And thanks!

"Jet Screamer
Song Writing Contest."

George, wouldn't it be funny
if she won?

Funny? That's all we need.

But I am gonna remove all doubts
from the matter.

George, what are you doing?

I'm simply removing Judy's entry
and replacing it with Elroy's secret code.

But why, dear?

Because with stuff like:

- We got a guaranteed loser. You get it?
- Oh, dear.

George, isn't it late for Elroy to be up?

Let's see.
What time is it?

8:29.

- Thank you.
- It's all right.

Elroy, bedtime.

- And how are things in Outer Plutonia?
- Not bad.

- Glad to hear it.
- Elroy!

I gotta sign off.
Old ''you know who'' is barking.

I'll talk to you tomorrow
on the 14 MG Y oscilloscopic.

Faster, Bobby, can't you?

I'm already going over 1000.
What's the big hurry?

My big chance is coming up on TV tonight.
That's what's the big hurry.

Judy, what's the rush?

They're gonna announce the winner
of the contest on The Jet Screamer Show.

Oh, Mother, I'm so excited!

Judy, honey, you realize the chances
are a million to one against you.

And now, the exciting announcement
for some lucky girl.

Remember, Judy,
we can't all be winners.

And the winner
of the Jet Screamer Contest is...

...Miss Judy Jetson!

I'm sorry you didn't win, honey--

Judy Jetson?

And her prize is a date
with Jet Screamer!

Baby, baby, baby!

And I'd like to sing the winning song
called ''Eep Opp Ork Ah-Ah ''...

...which means, ''Meet me tonight. ''

- Oh, no, you don't!
- Hey, he knows the secret-code message.

Mom, I won! I won!

I have a date with Jet Screamer tomorrow

night! I have a date. I have a d--

- I think I'm gonna faint.
- Move over. Make room for me.

But, George,
"Eep Opp Ork Ah-Ah" ...

...was Judy's idea in the first place,
so she won anyway.

That's right, Pop.
She wrote it for me yesterday.

All right, Elroy, go to bed.

I don't think Jet Screamer would care too
much about going out on a date with Elroy.

That's right.
He's not my type.

- You heard me!
- Yeah, I know. ''Elroy, go to bed.''

I still don't like that ''baby, baby, baby''
coming over here.

Oh, now, settle down, George.
He's probably a little shy.

Yeah, a little shy in brains.

Well, I've just made up my mind.
No date for Judy.

Oh, dear.
This must be him now.

Now, please, George.
Please try to be pleasant.

Baby, baby, baby, I am here...

...the star of the evening,
Jet Screamer!

Jane, now listen to me, Jane...

...I want this bunch of phonies
out of here right now.

Stand by for the television interview.

George, how nice.
We're going to be on television.

I don't care if we're--

Television?

Well, I suppose you TV people
are always looking for new talent.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

The rain on the plain
Falls mainly in Spain

What did you say?

The rain on the plain
Falls mainly in Spain

- I think we got a troublemaker here.
- Oh, yeah? Which one?

The guy next to me
giving Spanish weather reports.

- We're on the air!
- Good evening, folks!

This is Jack Star,
bringing you a special treat.

The winner of the Jet Screamer
Song Contest and her family.

But first, Jet Screamer himself!

Yeah, baby, baby, baby!

The winner and his date
for the evening, Judy Jetson!

Say something, Judy.

And her mother and father.

Mr. Jetson, how does it feel
to have a famous daughter?

- I feel, I feel, I feel...
- Thank you.

I feel....

Back to the studio
for an announcement.

- George? George, are you all right?
- I feel, I feel, I feel...

George, dear?

- One more, please.
- Smile.

Hold it. Hold it!

- Hey, Jet, where are you going?
- Swiveling, boys. Swiveling.

Well, there they go.

Yeah, our little Judy with a guy
we don't know anything about.

- Oh, what's to get excited about?
- What's to get excited about?

You know the old saying:

''When danger threatens the young,
doth not the mother eagle bare her claws?''

An eagle?
You're acting more like a cuckoo bird.

George, now where are you going?

My daughter's gonna have a chaperon
whether she likes it or not!

Baby, baby, how's about we stop
at the Spaceburger drive-in?

- Oh, swell.
- I never swivel on an empty stomach.

Whatever you say, Jet.

Sure is a beautiful car you have.

Yeah, cars are my hobby.
You see, I got six more at home.

I hate to eavesdrop, but after all,
she is my daughter.

What do you do with so many?

I like to keep a string
of beauties around.

Never know when you'll need one.

Boy, what nerve!
Bragging about all his girls to Judy!

Got a different one for each day
of the week. Big ones, small ones...

...fast ones, the whole bit. I like
to run them in competition with each other.

- How thrilling!
- How thrilling?

You must be the first kid on your block
to have a string of seven cars, Jet!

Just lucky, I guess.

Hang on, baby,
I'm gonna put her in high!

Cars? He was talking about cars.

Two burgers and two Strato-shakes.

- You having fun, Judy?
- Oh, gosh, am I.

Imagine me, out on a date
with Jet Screamer.

- What's up?
- Somebody was peeking in at us.

Probably one of my fans.

- But this one looked like my father.
- Relax, relax. I get them all ages.

Next stop, the Fun Pad for a few laughs.

Oh, whatever you say, Jet.

''Ride the rocket chute''?
Oh, Jet, how exciting.

And on the way up,
I'll sing you my new number:

''Like, Marry Me on the Moon.''

Marry her on the moon?

Follow that rocket!

Hey, bud, you can't use this rocket.

It's in for repairs.

This is where I do my swivel show,
baby, baby.

''Baby, baby,'' huh?

Well, I'll swivel him.

- Teenagers only. How old are you?
- Seventeen.

Your suit's older than that.

All right, all right, I'll tell the truth.
I'm 19.

All right, all right, blast off.

Now, wait a minute,
she's my father.

I mean, she's my daughter.
You can't stop me!

I'll try the back way.

''Band entrance.''

It's about time you guys got here.

Hurry it up and get on the stage.
You're late.

Hey, bud. I'll give you 10 bucks
to take the night off.

Ten bucks? Hey, for 10 bucks,
I'll take the week off, man.

Baby, baby,
you're gonna hear music tonight.

Fats Fanjet on the bass.

Cool. Cool.

Sonny Solar, old hot-licks himself,
at the piano.

Icy. Icy.

- And on the drum--
- Daddy!

No, that's supposed
to be Boom-Boom Basil.

No, it's Daddy.
It's my daddy.

- What's he doing here?
- Well, it's obvious. He's a fan.

- Can he play the boom-booms?
- No, but he can play the drums, a little.

Well, good!
Oh, it's gonna be a big night tonight.

Hit that curtain!

Hold it.
Hold it, hold it, hold it!

Tune in, swivelers!

I got a treat for you,
a new song by Judy Jetson!

And to keep it in the family,
on the drums, her father.

Old Spacedust Daddy himself.

And we're gonna kick off with a drum solo.
Go, go, Boom-Boom!

A drum solo?
Who? Who, me? Alone?

Sure, you! You can do it!

- Go get them, Dad!
- Zoom, Dad, zoom.

- Did I?

Oh, I hope he didn't ruin your evening.

- Take a look.

Baby, baby, baby!
