The Jetsons (1962–1963): Season 2, Episode 36 - Robot's Revenge - full transcript

George's life is thrown into chaos when all robots refuse his orders.

[Astro snoring]

Morning. Coffee, dear?

Good morning.
Sure, I'll have some.

Watch this new pot, George.
It's voice activated.

Pour coffee.

Space mail's here.

(Jane)
'Oh, good.
Anything important?'

Mrs. J, please.

I don't go through
other people's mail.

Oh, I just wondered
if it was the usual junk mail.

Bills, bills,
bills, bills.



How can we have
a garbage bill of $265?

It's all that junk mail
we throw out.

They charge
by the pound now.

Here's a letter postmarked
Planet Globe.

Isn't that where
your Aunt Eckler lives?

That's right.

Well, she's coming
for a visit next week.

Oh no, she's not.

I don't care if she was married
to your rich uncle.

She..
Rich uncle?

- She's got his money, right?
- That's right, George.

Oh, old Aunt Eckler's
coming for a visit.

Well, I'll be darned.

"I'm coming so that I can make
my final decision



on a very important matter."

Whoopie! That's it!

A final decision
on leaving her money to us!

She may not like me
but I love her.

Calm down, George.

You know how she feels
about you.

Let's write her
and say we're busy.

Our very own Aunt Eckler?
Not on your life.

Family is family.

George, we don't need
her money.

We're comfortable
with our own money. Almost.

Uh, let's see. We can turn
Elroy's room into a guestroom.

Or maybe she'd rather
have Judy's room.

Don't be silly.
She can sleep on the couch.

Not my sweet old Aunt Eckler.

George, sweet old Aunt Eckler
couldn't stand you.

Oh, she'll change her mind

as soon as she knows me
as I really am.

I can hardly wait a week
to see her.

You won't have to.

This was mailed a week ago so
that means she's due in...today.

Oh my gosh. She was
a real stickler for appearance.

I better get down
to the gym

and try their new
instant shape-up machine.

There's real
willpower for you.

The power of
Aunt Eckler's will.

Ooh, don't do that.

You'll get your clothes
all wrinkly.

My name is Ralph,
and anything you want, just..

Oh, oh, it's you.
The lousy tipper.

I never tipped the guys
who worked here before you.

Uh-huh?
See why they all quit?

Just turn on the instant
shape-up machine for me, okay?

Alrighty. And I'll bet we can
think of a way for you

to express your
profound gratitude. Ha ha ha.

There's the Shaper-Viser.

Now, before
you slip into it..

What's your hand out for?

A tip, naturally.

But I just remembered.
You don't have your pockets on.

[laughing]

I have them.

You stay out of my pockets.

Now, how can I press
your clothes

if they're all lumpy wumpy
with money?

How long do I stay in here?

You just let me worry
about that, sport.

I'm the professional.

[rumbling]

Let me out of here.
Help! Help! Help!

My! We're getting testy,
aren't we?

You're darn right
I'm testy.

You've kept me in this thing
for half an hour.

Well, I was on an important call
with my bookie.

Phew! Well, it's about time.

Now, let's take
a lookie wookie.

You were only supposed
to have three minutes.

I'm more outta shape than I was
when I came in here.

You are a mess.

Don't ever let anybody tell you
you don't have nice eyes.

A Mediterranean blue,
aren't they?

Who cares?

Just give me
the massage I paid for

and I'll get out of here.

Tummy down on that table

and we'll have you
purring like a kitten.

Now, take it real easy.

I mixed this
liniment formula myself.

Ow!
I'm on fire!

Ooh, tingles, doesn't it?

And what's that horrible smell?

'That's the formula.'

So far, there's no way
you can wash it off.

But I'm working on that part.

Oh. Just great!

No more of that stuff.
Just finish the rub.

Here we go.

Stop it! Cut it out!
Help!

That's enough! Hold it!
No more. Help.

That's the worse massage
I ever had.

Ooh, and you certainly have
the smell to go with it.

I know.
Where's the shower?

I told you it won't help.

Anyway, a while ago

I accidentally broke
the handles off.

You are incredible.
Just get me my clothes.

Now that is a problem.

Like I said,
I was talking to my bookie

while I was pressing these.

[sobbing]

- Have a good workout?
- No!

Hey, you're not leaving
like that, are you?

Yes, thanks to Ralph.

The absolute worse employee
in all the known galaxies.

I have a lot of complaints
about Ralph, mister, uh..

Jetson. George Jetson.

And cancel my membership.

- Ralph!
- Yes.

That does it, Ralph!

We've lost another member
because of you.

- You're fired.
- Fired? Fired?

- What member?
- George Jetson.

Ooh!

- Hello, Control Central.
- Control Central here.

'Oh, boy.'

"Reckless driving.
Smelling bad while driving.

I've gotta get some clothes.

Welcome
to Clothes-O-Matic.

Please enter your
credit card number

and make your selection.

Ah, that one looks nice.

Somber enough
for Aunt Eckler.

Selection noted.

Credit card number noted.

Name is..

[siren wailing]

Name is Jetson.
Name is Jetson.

I can't wear this.
There's been a mistake.

Out of order.
Out of order.

Oh no!

(Spacely)
'Jetson! You're late.'

- Sorry, Mr. Spacely, I was--
- Never mind.

We've gotta get out
the most important order

we've ever had.

No problem, sir.

What's that lunatic outfit
all about?

Well, uh..

...I thought my wardrobe needed
a little more dash.

And what's that awful..

Uh, too much aftershave.

Here, just follow this memo
and remember

I'm counting on you.

Don't worry about a thing.

With my computer, Rudy,
it's as good as done.

At least I can count on you,
good old Rudy.

Damn you, Mr. Jetson.

Rudy, I'm not
Mr. Jetson to you.

I'm your friend. I'm George.

Let us proceed
with our tasks, Mr. Jetson.

Okay, Rudy,
if that's how you feel.

Now, I'm gonna program you
with this big rush order.

Rudy, what are you doing?
Stop it, Rudy.

(George)
'Rudy, please.
You can't do this to me.'

(Spacely)
'Jetson!
Get out of here.'

[teeth chattering]

I don't know
what all the fuss is about.

I don't either, Rosie.

But George wants to make a good
impression on Aunt Eckler.

What for? The time you sent me
up there when she was sick

she didn't make
a very good impression on me.

[beeping]

Huh! A Code Red!
Oh no!

What's the matter, Rosie?

Nothing, Mrs. Jetson.
Absolutely nothing.

Jane, I'm here
at the spaceport.

Well, hello, Aunt Eckler.

I'll have George
pick you up right away.

George?
Oh, yes.

Well, why don't I take a cab?

I wouldn't want to take him
away from work.

He is working, isn't he?
At something?

It won't be
any trouble at all.

For whom?
Oh, you mean for George.

Well, alright.

Does he still have
that amusing old car?

That was years ago.
Our new car is barely broken in.

Well, I'm sure we can rely
on George to take care of that.

Yipes!

(George)
'My car!'

(Jane)
'George.
George, are you there?'

'Could you swing by
the spaceport'

'and pick up Aunt Eckler?'

- Hello, Aunt Eckler.
- Hello, George.

You are George,
aren't you?

Oh, my clothes..

You see, I don't usually wear
clothes like these.

I see, they're kind of
a treat for me.

And the car?

Well, uh, it was
in an accident.

A treat for me too, huh?

Uh, hop in, Aunt Eckler.

And be careful with my bags.

I must say, George

you're really rolling out
the red carpet for me

aren't you?

You don't think it might be
advisable to call a taxi?

No need, Aunt Eckler.

You're driving with a cautious,
safe, careful driver

without a blemish on his record.

Jetson, Jetson, Jetson.

(George)
Hey! What's he doing?

(Aunt Eckler)
The point is, George,
what are you doing?

Aren't you a little old
for drag racing?

(Aunt Eckler)
Let him pass!
Let him pass!

(George)
I'm trying, I'm trying.

It's okay, Aunt Eckler.

Huh! Aunt Eckler!

Welcome, Aunt Eckler.
I hope you had a pleasant..

Oh-oh! Oh, what happened?

Perhaps you should
ask your husband.

I wasn't at
the dashboard.

Well, come in and relax.

I'm sure there's
an explanation.

George. You are George,
aren't you?

I wish I was.

I'd like to start all over again
as somebody else.

Well, you're already
in somebody else's clothes.

Jane, the darnest things have
been happening to me all day.

Well, if you're worried
about impressing Aunt Eckler

you oughta be.

What could I get you,
Aunt Eckler?

My reservation back home
might be a good start.

Ha ha ha. Maybe a cup of coffee
would hit the spot.

Honest, Aunt Eckler.

George is really a dear man
and a wonderful father.

(Judy)
'Oh, daddy,
how could you do this to me?'

(George)
'What did I do?'

[sobbing]
The robot hairstylist said
you'd really appreciate this.

I wonder why
that doesn't surprise me.

You're not seeing
the real George, Aunt Eckler.

He's very helpful
to the children.

Thanks a lot, dad.

You got me thrown out
of school today.

Huh?

We had a substitute
robot teacher.

As soon as she heard
I was your son

she wouldn't get off my case.
Talk about humiliating.

You really spread the joy
around. Don't you, George?

I can't figure it out,
but it's bound to get better.

Well, it couldn't get
much worse.

Jetson, are you there?

Oh yes, it could.

Your little foul-up
nearly put me out of business.

You're fired.

Is this one of your
average days

or one of your better ones?

I know this must be
upsetting to you, Aunt Eckler.

I'm sorry.

So, why don't you
come over

and relax on our
new vibrating easy chair.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
It's fully computerized.

[screaming]

(Jane)
'What's going on?
Do something, George.'

Rosie, help me
lasso this chair.

I'm sorry, Mr. Jetson.
That's your problem.

Rosie, what's gotten
into you?

Oh, Mr. J,
I just can't do it.

I just can't be like all those
others and give you a Code Red.

A Code Red?
What's that?

That's when everything
with computer chips

gangs up on somebody.

So that's it.
There's a Code Red out on me.

Is there ever!

But who'd wanna do
a thing like that?

Do you happen to know
a robot named Ralph?

Do I?

Rosie, where is he?

Where can I find
this Ralph character?

He's, uh, he's
sitting somewhere.

He's asking for a tip.

That's him, that's him.
Now where is he?

He's asking for a tip
on how we can find a job.

Yes, go on!

He's at, uh,
at an employment agency.

It's no use, Ralph.

We've sent you out
on 32 jobs

and you've been fired
32 times.

Oh, it's my fault
you sent me

to all the wrong kind
of employers?

Okay, Ralph.

Go in and fill out
this aptitude test.

Okay, but I warn you

I've never had an aptitude
for aptitude tests.

Hello, I'm looking
for a robot.

Yes, sir,
perhaps I can help.

My name is George Jetson,
and I--

George Jetson!

thud

Ow!

Finisho.

Out of 4381 known occupations

you are unfit to do all
but one of them.

Well, alright. I'll take it.

But only if I can sleep till
noon and be off by 5 o'clock.

Ooh, hi there.

Say, how about
a little something for somebody

whose life you ruined?

Your life's ruined?
What about mine?

You should have thought
of that before you got me fired.

Ralph, please

you've got to call off
the Code Red.

I'll do anything.

Alright, I'll call it off
if you get me another job.

Ralph, I can't get you
another job.

Well, then the Code Red
stays on.

♪ Sorry ♪♪

Ralph, you can't.

With the Code Red on

I'm gonna lose an inheritance
from an aunt.

Inheritance? Ooh!

I think we might make a deal.

Deal.

Boy, oh boy, every single light
a beautiful green.

(Ralph)
'Of course,
the Code Red is off.'

(George)
'What a relief.'

Lie low. I'll see what
I can do with the old girl.

Righto.

Hello, Aunt Eckler.

I hear you're feeling better.

I was the minute you left.

Ha ha ha. I'm glad you still
have your sense of humor.

Aunt Eckler, I'd like you
to give George another chance

to get to know him
the way we know him.

How do you people
afford the medical bills?

Touche, Aunt Eckler.
Ha ha ha.

I love that rapier wit.

Good news.
Got my hair fixed for free.

And by the same
crazy robot.

(George)
'Great, honey!'

He said he made a terrible
mistake about you today.

That's okay.
Accidents will happen.

Around you?
You can bet on it.

That isn't really fair,
Aunt Eckler.

Daddy is a wonderful man.

Now, now, honey, remember

we love Aunt Eckler
for her honesty.

I just don't like
to hear anyone

say those kinds of things
about you.

After what she's
been through, she's entitled.

Right, Aunt Eckler?

Don't patronize me,
you unemployed oaf.

Oaf? You can't call
my husband an..

I say, George.
Spacely here.

That computer of yours, Rudy,
suggests that I take you back.

Good old Rudy.

So the job's yours again.

Victory.

What do you think of the
unemployed oaf now, Aunt Eckler?

He's been working steady
for over 20 years.

He's been an incredible father
for 16 years.

He's made me do my homework
since pre-school sandbox.

And he's made my life
miserable since I arrived.

I'm sorry about that,
Aunt Eckler.

But thanks for one thing.

Helping me see
what's really important.

A darn sight more important
than any inheritance.

Inheritance?

Yeah, inheritance.

That very important decision
in your letter.

You are crazy.

I'm not giving my money
to anybody.

I'm leaving it all
for a marble memorial to myself.

Then what was that about
a very important decision?

I wanted to look over
your maid again

and decide if I wanted
to hire her away from you.

(Judy)
'Oh! She's kidding.'

- 'I don't believe it.'
- 'Me either.'

Well, you most certainly
could not hire Rosie away.

- We love Rosie.
- And Rosie loves them.

And she doesn't love you

and even if she did,
she wouldn't leave her family.

Well, you can keep
your insolent Rosie.

I'm getting what's left
of my luggage and leaving.

- Way to go, Rosie!
- She's going.

- Just as well.
- Good riddance.

You know, she left us a pretty
good inheritance after all.

What's that, dad?

An awareness
that money isn't anything

compared to our pride
and our love for each other.

(Aunt Eckler)
'Ha ha ha. You were holding out
on me, weren't you?'

This robot says he's been
in your service for years.

Why, that devil.

Well, he's not anymore.

I just hired him

with a ten-year, ironclad,
nonbreakable contract.

Come along now.

Oh, bye. And don't worry about
the Code Red.

This more than covers
your end of the deal.

(Ralph)
'Coming, aunty wanty.'

They deserve each other.

And Georgie Worgie..

...so do we.
