[music continues]

[theme music]

(Cogswell) 'Ah. Nine to Queen's
bishop six, Spacely.'

Ah! My rook takes your knight,
Cogswell.

That's check.

boom



The laugh's on you, Spacely.

My queen takes your rook.
Checkmate.

boom

No!

That's 98 games
out of 98.

Ha ha ha.
My favor.

I'll get even with you,
Cogswell.

Maybe not in space chess.

But I've still got
a few moves up my sleeve.

Be a good loser, Spacely.

Just like I'm a good winner.

[laughing]

Ow! Ooh.
Aw! Ooh.

Until next time,
my fine fractured friend.



[laughing]

- Jetson!
- Yikes!

'Is this your working mode,
Jetson?'

Uh...yes, sir.

Stop whatever you're not doing
and get yourself

down to Research
and Development.

[upbeat music]

Uh, I don't like
the looks of this.

Can you keep
your mouth shut, Jetson?

Yes, sir.

Except for eating
and talking, of course.

This is highly sensitive stuff.

It's a tightly guarded
industrial secret.

Uh, it looks sort of like an
ordinary phone capsule, sir.

Phone capsule?

You don't know how hard
we've worked to build this.

Years of blood, sweat,
toil and tears.

Not to mention
the mega bucks.

Oh, it's certainly a very nice
phone capsule, sir.

It's no
phone capsule, Jetson.

It's an Executive
Instant Transporter.

We call it EXIT,
for short.

EXIT, huh?
Oh, very clever, sir.

It's more than clever, Jetson.
It's brilliant to the max.

Obviously, sir.
But, uh, where do I fit in?

Step inside.
And I'll demonstrate.

Is this one giant step
for mankind?

You got it, Jetson.

poof

Well, I don't get it.
What's the point?

poof

The point is this, Jetson.

It is now possible to transport
executives instantly

anywhere in the Solar System.

For meetings.

Ah, it's great. But what if
there's a meeting on the moon?

poof

Very impressive,
Mr. Spacely.

I can send you
anywhere I choose, Jetson.

"How to put the surprise
back into your marriage."

- Hi, Jane.
- Hello, George.

poof

Number one. Drop in
on your mate unexpectedly.

Hmm. George must've read
this magazine.

Have a nice trip, Jetson?

Wow! What a way to fly.

Your EXIT system is a revolution
in transportation.

Exactly.

I plan to introduce EXIT
at the Sprocket Convention

in Las Venus tomorrow.

You and your wife
are coming along.

Really?
Why?

I need a guniea pi..uh,
someone of your caliber

to demonstrate our EXIT system.

I plan to humiliate Cogswell
with this baby.

Not to mention
the big money I'll make.

Ha ha ha. Who says money
can't buy happiness, sir?

Take this highly classified
computer program disc

to Las Venus with you.

Guard it with your life.

With my life, sir?
Is this dangerous?

Only if you lose it.

I'm home.

Hello, dear.

Hi, honey.

How was your day?

- Hectic, with Rosie gone.
- Where is she?

Don't you remember? Rosie went
to have her mileage set back.

She's very sensitive
about her mileage.

Oh, daddy, daddy.
I'm glad you're home.

You're the best daddy
in the world.

I love you, daddy.

mwah mwah mwah

Thanks, Judy. But still no raise
on your allowance.

Oh, daddy. I need
a cost of living increase.

So do I. As soon as I get one,
I'll pass it on.

You know, George? The strangest
thing happened to me today.

So, what else is new?

I was reading my magazine,
when suddenly you appeared

standing next to me.

And then you disappeared again
into thin air.

You weren't seeing things.

I was demonstrating
Spacely's new invention.

It's called EXIT.
And it's top secret.

His secret is safe with me.
Who would believe it?

But listen to this, Jane.

Spacely needs me to demonstrate
his new product

at the Sprocket Convention
in Las Venus.

And you're coming along.

Las Venus?
Hooray!

Oh, I love Las Venus.
The lights, the shows.

I'll need lots of new clothes.
When do we leave?

- Tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?

But that doesn't give me
any time to shop.

That's the best part.

And who will take care of Judy
and Elroy with Rosie gone?

We don't need anyone
to stay with us.

I'll take care of Elroy, Astro,
the house, everything.

For a slight raise
in my allowance, of course.

Oh, I don't know, dear.
That's a big responsibility.

Well, you can always
forget Las Venus

if you don't trust me.

Judy's right, George.
She deserves a raise.

Oh boy.
The agony of defeat.

Aah!
The thrill of victory.

Where's Elroy?

He's been in his room all day
in a heavy thinking mode.

Tell him dinner
is ready.

(George)
'Right.'

Dinner's ready, pal.

What's up with
the gravity boots?

These are supposed
to help me think clearly.

About what?

About how to make money.

It's absolutely necessary

I get some
new computer software.

Necessity is the mother
of invention, Elroy.

So why not
invent something?

Think of something
people can't live without.

Something practical.

Useful and expensive.

Good thinking. And you weren't
even wearing gravity boots.

Come on.
It's dinner time.

Even Albert Moonstein
had to eat.

Jane, will you cut me
another slice

of that rocket rib roast?

Certainly, dear.

It's delicious, mom.

Don't talk with your
mouth full, Elroy.

- It's impolite.
- Not to mention gross.

Oh boy!
Rocket roast.

You had your dinner
already, Astro.

[whining]

(George)
'No begging.'

[whining]

You heard George, Astro.

Now, be a good dog.

[whining]

Forget it, Astro.

Astro,
go lie down.

No.

Be firm, George.

- I said lie down.
- No.

This is your
last warning.

pfft

I give up.

Why can't you be
more like Moon Tin-Tin?

I got it.
An idea for a new invention.

An instant dog trainer!

I'll get on it
right away.

The sooner
the better.

Let's see.

I'll need my Saturn beige sheet,
my Jupiter beige mink.

Oh, but what will
I wear to the party?

Of course,
my black hole cocktail dress.

Haven't you
finished packing yet?

Almost.

How many suitcases
do you have here?

Only eight.

Eight!

Well, one is yours.

This one.

Okay, Astro, if you're ready,
please step into the chamber.

We're about to test
the Elroy Jetson

Instant Dog Trainer.

First, I insert
the dog training disc

into the master console.

Then, I merely
have to press this button.

(Elroy)
'Wow, Astro has now been
completely transformed.'

Lie down,
Astro.

thud

Roll over,
Astro.

thud

Sit up,
Astro.

Catch.

(Elroy)
'Beg.'

[Elroy laughing]

Play dead.

Congratulations, Astro.
You're now the perfect dog.

I'll sell my dog training
service to every kid

in the neighborhood.

- Bye, mom. Bye, dad.
- Have a blast, you two.

This is our number in Las Venus
in case of an emergency.

Don't worry, mom.
Everything will be just fine.

Don't forget to water
the Venus Flytrap.

And good luck
with your invention, Elroy.

Come on, Jane,
we'll miss our space flight.

Do you have
your computer disc?

Oh no.
I don't.

(George)
'If I forgot that disc,
it'll be goodbye job'

'and hello welfare.'

Let's go before I have
a nervous breakdown.

Bye, kids.

- So long.
- So long.

Well, they're gone.

The place
is ours.

[together]
Yay!

Excuse me, sir.

Would you mind
moving over

so my wife and I
could sit together.

Yes, I would mind.

This is my seat
and I'm not moving.

It'll be alright,
George.

Ouch!
Don't do that!

How dare you yell
at my child?

Aah!

Oh boy. This is gonna be
one long flight.

Jetson, how's
our little secret?

I haven't told
a soul in space, sir.

Where have you
got the disc?

Hidden in Jane's makeup bag,
safe and secure.

Just call me
Jane Bond.

Well, I was so worried

I hardly touched my champagne
and caviar in first class.

The success
of our invention

has me on Pluto pins
and Neptune needles

Do you think there may be some
industrial spies onboard?

I put nothing past Cogswell.

You'll never know
that man next to you

could be one of
Cogswell's heavies.

Let's see.

A nova neo-politan ice-cream,
cosmic chocolate

Venus vanilla
and Saturn strawberry.

Yuck.

How do you
burn ice-cream?

This is the sixth dessert
I've ruined tonight.

Seventh. You broke
your own record.

Maybe Astro
will like it.

Here, boy.

sniff sniff sniff

No way, Jose.

[upbeat music]

Las Venus is so exciting.

The lights, the people,
the action.

George, it's breathtaking.

This must've cost
an arm and a leg.

Spacely really
went all out for us.

ting ting

[coins clinking]

Bzzt boop beep. Cheapskate.

Even the robots
are greedy in Las Venus.

Jetson, what are you
doing in my room?

Your room's
on the next floor.

Ah, I knew it was
too good to be true.

Well, it's very quaint,
isn't it, George?

Quaint's not the word for it.

How are we supposed to live in
here with all our luggage?

We'll manage.
I think it's cozy.

boing

thud

Ah, I guess we can
rule out sleeping.

Nobody sleeps in Las Venus
anyway, George.

Now I know why.

Which button
is it?

I've watched Rosie do this
a thousand times.

Ahh!

Hello, dear.

Oh!
Hi, mom.

Just wanted to see if everything
was under control.

- Totally.
- You look all wet.

Did I get you
from the shower?

Uh, right.
The shower.

H-how's Las Venus?

Oh, it's like
a dream.

Your father promised
to take me

to see Wayne Neutron's
dinner show tonight.

That's nice.

Well,
I-I have to go, mom.

I left
the water running.

Well, dear, I'm glad
everything's under control.

Bye now.
Uh, give my love to Elroy.

Uh-oh. I almost forgot
the clothes in the dryer.

Oh, no!

I can't do
anything right.

[upbeat music]

(Mr. Spacely)
A little more to the left.

How's this?

- A little more to the right.
- How's this?

Now, that is how I would like
to see you, Spacely.

Up against
the wall.

You'll eat your words, Cogswell,
when you see my new invention.

That thing?
It looks like a phone booth.

[laughing]

Laugh while you can, Cogswell.

'Cause soon you'll be crying.

This is the greatest thing
to come along

since the invention
of the sprocket.

It better be, Spacely.

Because my new invention,
a cosmic security scarecrow

is gonna put you out to pasture.

A scarecrow. Hah!

That's strictly
for the birds.

[laughing]

He ought to crawl back
under that planet he came from.

We'll show Cogswell he's gonna
have to eat a lot of scarecrow

- Right, Jetson?
- Right.

(Mr. Spacely)
'Not the picture right.'

I meant agree
with me right.

Now, sir?

Ah, perfect.

thud

Well...ha ha ha.

The picture didn't
do you justice anyway, sir.

- Jetson, you're on thin ice.
- I'll go get the glue, sir.

I may not be able
to cook

and do the laundry but vacuuming
is my specialty.

Simple. Easy as moon pie.

screech

Oh... slow down.

Stop!

Help!

- Hello, Elroy.
- Hi, mom.

I know I just talked to your
sister a little while ago

but I had this funny feeling
that something was wrong.

No, mom.
Everything's fine.

Help!

(Astro)
'Help!'

(Judy)
'Help!'

Help!

- What was that noise?
- What noise?

It sounded like
someone cried for help.

Uh, must be a bad connection.

Tell Judy that I'm very proud
of the job she's doing.

I'll be in touch soon, dear.
Bye.

chomp chomp chomp

It didn't take long
to sign up all these customers.

- Ready, Astro?
- Ready.

Be sure you get
each dog's name, Astro.

- Name?
- Bow.

- Name?
- Arf.

- Name?
- Woof.

Once these dogs
are trained

I'm going to be
a wealthy pre-teener.

Rich, rich, rich pre-teener.

(Spacely)
'Hey, we've got
quite a crowd out there.'

This is it.
It's all up to you, Jetson.

Don't worry,
I won't let you down.

You better not
or I'll let you go.

Good luck, dear.
Mwah.

I'm gonna
need it.

Almost ready. All I have to do
is insert the computer disc.

Good luck.

(Elroy)
'Yeah, good luck,
fellas.'

[all barking]

And we're off.

What's going on?
Something's going wrong.

Where'd they go?

And now, for the moment
we've all been waiting for.

My assistant, George Jetson,
will demonstrate

the invention of the century..

Uh, wave to the people, Jetson.

All I have to do is insert
this computer disc

and push the button.

And voila!

Ha ha,
w-w-we're experiencing

some, uh, technical
difficulties, folks.

[Jetson barking]

Jetson!

Get up!

What are you doing, Jetson?

woof woof

[crowd laughing]

I, uh.
Uh, I, uh..

What's wrong, Spacely?

Dog got your tongue?

[laughing]

George, what are you doing?

slurp slurp slurp

George, stop that.

Now, uh...take it easy,
George.

[snarling]

Hey, good George.
Nice George. Yikes!

Down, boy. Down, down.
Down, nice boy.

Good boy.

Ouch!

Help! Let go! Help!

[crashing]

bow wow

toing

bam

[coins clinking]

(Spacely)
'This time you've gone
too far, Jetson.'

You're really
in the doghouse now.

bow wow

Where did those doggone dogs go?
I've been up all night.

And I can't find
'em anywhere.

- Tough luck.
- Yeah, it's tough luck.

How am I going to explain
this to my friends?

I can return their money
but not their dogs.

Mom, dad, you're home.

(Elroy)
'Mom, what's wrong
with dad?'

Uh-oh. He, he thinks,
he's a...a dog.

You father entered
Spacely's EXIT machine

and came out as a dog.
It was awful.

I know what happened!
The computer disc

that operates
Mr. Spacely's machine

must have gotten
mixed up with the disc

that operates
my dog trainer.

slurp

Oh, my! So, that's it.

arf

And I think I know
just how to solve this.

Thank goodness.

Here, boy.
Uh, I mean dad.

Now, stay.

bow

I hope this works.

I just couldn't go
on another day

being dog and wife.

Don't worry, mom

I'll just put this spare
backup dog trainer disc

in my computer.

[beeping]

What am I doing
on my hands and knees?

Why am I wearing a leash?
What happened?

Oh, George, I'm so glad you're
back to your old self again.

Spacely's machine
turned you into a dog.

Oh-ho, great.

Well, that's
the end of my job.

How come every time I try
to do something right

it comes out wrong?

That makes
two of us, daddy.

Judy, what's wrong?

I thought being
a teenager was hard

but running a house
is the space pits.

Well, the house looks
spotless, dear.

- You did a fine job.
- I did?

And I was worried
for nothing.

Now I'll never have
to think twice

about leaving you and Elroy
alone again.

That's what
I was afraid of.

Spacely here.
Where's that George Jetson?

H-Hello, Mr. Spacely.

Glad to see you recovering.
What a demonstration.

Do you know
what you've done, Jetson?

Yes, sir. And I'm sorry.
But I can explain.

That instant dog trainer
of yours was the hottest selling

item at the convention.

I've taken
1,500 orders already.

What?

You should be proud
of yourself, Jetson.

'And there's a big bonus
in it for you.'

Oh, and Jetson..

arf arf arf

[laughing]

What wonderful news, George.

- I owe it all to Elroy.
- Thanks, dad.

You deserve the money
as much as me, son.

What say we take the bonus
and split it?

Great!

How about me?

I thought I was getting
a raise on my allowance.

Oh, ho ho. I think
that could be arranged.

You're the Big Dipper of dads.

George, aren't you
forgetting something?

You and I are going back
to Las Venus alone, in style.

Oh, George,
do you mean it?

It'll be like
a second honeymoon.

[dogs barking]

Where's all that barking
coming from?

It sounds
like the roof.

(Elroy)
'The dogs are stuck
on the roof!'

This will bring 'em back.

[beeping]

[dogs barking]

Yeow!

I guess your father
is a dog's best friend.

[all laughing]

[laughing]
