Milo Murphy’s Law

Thanks again for inviting us, Martin.

It's good getting to know people in town.

Glad you came along. Should be fun.

I hope so.

I'm a little nervous about heading out in a sinkable vessel

with both Milo and Milo's dad.

Oh, son.

Every time he comes home with a rip in his jeans

or covered in "Pterodactyl blood,"

he credits it to some Murphy family curse.

Yeah.

Mr. Underwood, I can assure you that Murphy's Law is real.

But I'm sure everything will work out okay.

Then why do we have 11 life jackets for the four of us?

Mathematically, it gives three of us two-and-a-half second chances.

Well, that's quasi-comforting, I guess.

Hey, I'll catch up. I'm gonna get some snacks.

Four bags of pistachios please.

Hey, it's you again. The kid from the opera.

Oh, yeah, and at the Doctor Zone premiere too, right?

I'm Milo. Milo Murphy.

Vinnie Dakota. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. What a coincidence.

And thanks for the pistachios.

Yeah, a coincidence...

A swordfish... in fresh water?

This is it! From headquarters.

Where is the cart?

Well, there was this swordfish... In freshwater?

I know, right?

Never mind that. Our new assignment.

Every time I see that kid...

"Wait for the container ship from Tunisia..."

Ooh, Tunisia.

Sounds exotic.

"And protect the pistachios."

You know, I was aware that this was not the most glamorous of assignments,

but dagnabit!

I didn't study time travel for 20 cycles to end up as a blasted nut cart operator.

I joined up to save the world.

I joined up to prevent the Mississippi Purchase.

You, you mean the Louisiana Purchase?

You're welcome.

This will not stand.

Prepare yourself, Dakota.

It's time to call the future.

Let's see. What was that number?

Ah, yes.

It was four.

Mmm-hmm.

Battery is dead.

I may know somebody with an inter-temporal communicator. Come on.

Whoops!

See? Oh, that's not a curse.

That's just inexperienced casting.

Lemme show you.

Nice and easy.

You see?

Isn't this freshwater?

And so it begins...

Here we are.

So, you're telling me that there is an inter-temporal communicator here?

Yeah. At this party?

Hey, look, piggies in a blanket.

There. Over there.

Brick and Savannah. Of course!

Fellow time travelers. They'll have one.

Ugh, what are they doing here?

Brick, Savannah, normally I wouldn't ask this of you

but it seems that the batteries on my...

Wait a moment. You get tuxedos?

Yes. And you get...

High school theater costumes?

Hey, it's all the past.

We decided to go with the '70s.

Yes, but one of you is from the 1970s and one from the 1870s.

Really? Which one am I?

Look, we're kind of in a pinch here.

See, there was this swordfish,

and when we tried to use the battery it was dead.

The battery, not the swordfish.

So we're just wondering if it would be possible for us to use your...

They're on the move. Copy that.

Hey! Why don't we get earpieces?

We're standing right next to each other.

Yeah, so were they! Oh, come on.

But be sure to add a little margarine to the butter.

That way it won't burn. Yeah?

Wait! So when do I add the flour?

Well, you got to admit

this is a much cooler mission than we have.

Oh, look at that. It's like a pen key.

Spiffy.

Oh, he's an art lover.

Ooh, secret panel for hidden safes.

Oh, come on! They get all the good stuff.

Look, if it's not too much trouble,

we would like to borrow your inter-temporal communicator.

It's extremely important.

Oh, extremely important.

Important is saving the world,

preserving the future, stopping World War 5.

What happened to World War 3 and 4?

You're welcome. Nice.

Say, you think it's possible that a guy like me

and a girl like you...

You know, all this does is make me like you more.

Got it. Lars, bring the car around.

Your time vehicle is a limousine?

Of course. What do you have?

Well, you know. It's just...

It's just different.

Next stop, Dr. Grueber's lab, October 1983.

Finally, a bite!

Hey!

Whoa!

Yeah, okay. Murphy's Law, real thing.

Maybe we should try another spot.
