The Return

You wait out here, kid, okay?

You wait here. I'll be right back.

I don't see a thing up there, Wayne ole buddy.

It's okay, Wayne, I've seen a few lights in the sky myself sometimes.

You stay out here, kid.

- -Dog fight whatever it is or shut up.

What the hell...

-What the hell is that? -

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!

Ahhh!

Jen... Jennifer. Mortorff said you wanted these.

Oh, yeah. Are these all of them?

-Oh, there will be another series this afternoon. -Okay thanks.

-But Jen... Jennifer how about dinner tonight? -Hmmm?

-Dinner tonight? -No. I'm going to be at the skycon thing for hours.

-Come on Jennifer. -How about tomorrow night?

Jennifer come on. It's always tomorrow night. I've been asking you for three weeks--

-Roger come on. I've got a lot of work to do. - Excuse me.

Jennifer, you always have a lot of work to do. You are in no jeopardy of losing your job.

-Your father is not going to fire his daughter. -Yeah,

but I've found something interesting here.

I mean what could be that interesting?

Uh, huh, very interesting. Yes, yes I can see what you mean.

Then give me the go ahead daddy.

Jennifer, you've only been here for a year.

You really need some time to--

You were the one who told me to follow every hunch. Strive for the unattainable.

Did I say that?

Well we are supposed to be the first father-daughter team in space remember?

Yes, I remember.

Some team with a part-time cripple on it.

Oh, daddy.

I think we better have Dr. Mortorff take a good look at your findings.

You're gonna be proud of me.

Our skycon one system has been sending back terrific pictures for two years.

When I was going over some of them, several weeks ago, I noticed a problem.

And just what should we be looking for?

Well, this photograph taken a month ago is clean.

But this next one...

taken three weeks ago has this obvious problem in a small town near Alamogordo, New Mexico.

What do you feel that indicates, Jennifer?

It could be a sign of a primary system malfunction.

It's almost as if the light rays are being accelerated in this region.

You mean, uh, not unlike a black hole?

No, that's not what I mean.

Are you suggesting that there is a black hole in the middle of New Mexico.

No, just uh, making a suggestion of an analogous situation.

Your suggestion has been noted. What do you think, Larry?

Say, why don't we send somebody out there with some hardware to check and see.

Jennifer, would you be willing to see this through?

You know that's, that's a marvelous idea except Jennifer hasn't had the experience

in the field and uh, perhaps I can go down there and assist her.

The way people get experience in the field is to be in the field.

Jennifer can handle it, thank you.

Whahoo!

Come on! Floor it!

Alright. Come let's...

-Come on! -

- -

Get out of the car, Eddie.

- -You better get out of the car, Eddie.

I said get out of the car!

-Hey you can't do anything. This is private property. -Yeah!

My daddy owns this ranch.

Yo daddy!

Get out of the car.

-Wait... I was only joking! - Move it!

Get over there!

Put your hands on the hood. Come on, get 'em up there.

You don't want to do anything Mr. Casper is going to get upset about.

Yeah. My daddy can have your job anytime he wants to. You know that.

You know what you and that thing have in common?

You both too damn loud!

Jesus! Wayne! What'd you do that for?

Get your hands on top of the car, kid.

I had to pay seven hundred bucks for that!

What's my daddy gonna say? I'm gonna tell him who did this.

Hey What's the trouble here?

I don't know, Buc. This guy has gone crazy. Started shooting up the place.

Look what he did to my tape deck.

What are you going to do about this?

Okay, okay. We are all friends here.

Come on now. No sense of getting all heated up over a little misunderstanding.

Getting all riled up.

Tell you what. I'll talk to your daddy about this little fracas.

Explain it to him. Also try to talk him into getting you a new cassette player for your car.

-It'll be real nice. - Yeah, it better be.

-I could use a cold one. How 'bout you? - Yeah.

Wha-wha why are you doing this?

Why?

Here you go, hun. Can't have you drinking flat beer.

Yes, ma'am.

Think if you ignore something long enough it will go away?

I'll take care of this. Since you go along.

See if I ignore something long enough, Wayne will make it go away.

Woman driver.

Are there any survivors?

Nope. I'm fine.

Japanese make funny cars.

Alright, I'll get you out of here.

No, that's alright. I can do it.

Should I applaud.

Unless you mean it.

How long have you been driving?

Uh... fourteen hours.

You lucky all you dinged up is the car.

I didn't fall asleep at the wheel. A dog or something jumped on the hood.

What you bump in to some poor ole mutt and knock him up on the hood of the car?

He jumped on the hood and tried to claw through the windshield.

I don't see any scratches or nothing.

If there was a dog around here, it's long gone.

Look sheriff, can we continue this in the morning? I'm going to be here for about a week.

I'm a deputy marshal. Where are you staying?

Point me to the nearest motel.

I'll point you to the only motel.

It's about uh, two, three hundred yards down over there on the left.

You come by my office in the morning. Straighten all this out then.

It's gonna look a lot better.

Oh, deputy. Thanks for your country hospitality.

Yeah.

Good morning.

When Lee Ann brings me my bacon and eggs and then leaves,

I look down and only see two strips of bacon on my plate

so I check the menu and it says three strips.

So I call her back and now she accuses me of eating one of those strips

so I swear on my honor as a law enforcement officer you know,

anyway I swear on my honor that I didn't eat the bacon and we are investigating

and guess what... the two strips of bacon are stuck together like one.

How do you like that!

- Morning - Am I disturbing anything?

No. Not a thing.
