Explorers

Hey, you!

You better get out of here!

I'm looking for some Pacific Tech professors.

There's nobody else around here now!

- Hurry up, jump in! - There was a girl with them.

If I could find her!

Come on, jump in, will you?

She's kind of lost.

You look kind of lost yourself.

I think I know where she'll be.

Come on, come on!

It's your last chance to get out of here!

Wolfgang.

Wake up, Wolfgang, come on.

Wake up!

Wolfgang!

Wolfgang!

Jesus Christ.

Ben, it's three o'clock in the morning,

this had better be good.

I just had one of those dreams again.

I was flying.

It was so real.

It was over this giant circuit board or something.

You know, I had a dream that I was naked at school.

I had to hide in the bathroom.

It was terrible.

So anyway, I drew as much as I could remember,

and I'd like you to take a look at it tomorrow, okay?

Sure.

Can I go back to bed, please?

My mom's coming anyway.

Over and out.

The Martians had no resistance to the bacteria

in our atmosphere

that we have long since become immune to.

Once they had breathed our air,

the germs which no longer affect us began to kill them.

The end came swiftly.

All over the world, their machines began to-

- Come on! - Yeah!

Hi.

What's going on, wimp?

Oh, did mommy make you a sauerkraut sandwich for lunch?

Uh, it's baloney.

Hey, where's the flood, Mueller?

It's Muller.

You can always tell a geek

when he wears his pants up to his elbows.

Math!

I don't like math.

I really don't like school.

- You know what I mean? - Hey.

- We'll see you later. - Later, punk.

See you later, wimp.

Don't touch him.

You'll get German measles.

You okay?

That sociopath Steve Jackson again.

Steve Jackson's a jerk.

Come on.

If I could see in her room, just once.

Lori Swenson?

Don't you ever think about anything worthwhile?

Gosh.

Here's that diagram from my dream.

Hope it makes more sense than last time.

Come on.

Oh, this is more like it.

I think maybe I could wire this up in my Apple.

Looks like some sort of antennae.

There were three of these, all the same,

but I didn't get all of it.

I think there was more.

It's an interesting output stage.

I didn't know you knew anything about electronics.

Maybe I do.

Mueller,

what happened to your pants?

That's it.

I'm going home.

Wolfgang!

Here, I don't want these.

Hey, look out.

Nerd!

Stupid jerks.

Watch out for that jerkface Steve Jackson.

Oh, Steve Jackson's got elephantitis

of the ego.

Get up, get up.

Kick his ass, man!

Come on, Jackie, kill him!

Get him!

Heard you called me something funny, Crandall.

What's so funny?

I said you had elephantitis.

Crandall, why can't you talk like everybody else?

- Kill him, Steve. - Get off me.

I mean, I don't like people calling me stuff

when I don't know what it is.

Get...

Elephantitis is when something gets

bloated and ugly, like your ass!

Come on, you don't learn, do you?

Cut it out, Jackson.

Who's gonna make me?

You?

Sure, elephantitis head!

Kick his ass!

Kick his ass.

You can't get away from us now, buddy!

Go, go, go!

Hey.

Everything okay?

This damn carburetor.

Must have rebuilt this thing 100 times.

I just wanted to say thanks for

with Jackson and everything today.

Steve Jackson's a jerk.

He tries it again, I'll kick his butt.

You wanna come over to my house?

I just got this new tape of "This Island Earth."

It's got this great saucer landing-

Sounds great.

And it's got, no, it's got this big mutant,

with this, like, two brains.

It's really cool.

You'd like it.

Darren!

Darren, wait up!

How come you didn't stop?

Look, why don't you just take off, okay?

I did you a favor, but I didn't know

you're gonna bug me about it the rest of my life.

It's okay.

Here, forget it.

Oh, no.

My dad's home.

Guess he didn't get that job.

What does he do?

Hauls junk.

Is that your mom?

No.

That's my dad's girlfriend.

She's okay.

Think I will go over to your house.

Okay.

Well, leave your bike here,

and we'll take the creek.

Your folks fight a lot?

My mom died when I was a kid.

My dad's okay.

Just isn't very lucky.

He always breaks things,

or loses them.

Anyway, he taught me how to run.

He can't catch me anymore.

Your mom and clad still together?

Yeah, I guess they get along okay.

They just talk about

the stupidest junk all the time.

Where are we going?

Oh, I just wanna see my friend Wolfgang.

- Wolfgang? - Oh, it's not his fault.

His parents won't let him change it.

You'll probably think he's weird anyway.

Probably.

He's been playing sick, working on a project.

I wanna see how it's going.

If I had a name like Wolfgang,

I think I'd kill myself.

Benjamin, come in.

And this is?

- Darren. - Darren.

You only have to tell me once.

I never forget anything.

Look, Mommy, this looks like Uncle Fred.

So it does.

Ludwig, stop that right now.

Have a seat, boys.

Wolfgang is down in his lab.

I'll ring him.

He's feeling much better now.

- Wolfgang. - Yes, Mother?

Benjamin is here with his friend Derek.

Have you seen the bug bomb?

I think it's in the bedroom.

Well, can I offer you anything?

Some baklava?

Oh, yeah, sure.

- What? - It's Greek pastry.

Try some.

Geek pastry?

No, Greek.

It's pretty good.

Ben?

Is the bug bomb in the basement?

I don't know.

Where is the bug bomb?

Oh, Ben.
