so what's for breakfast?anything good? mmm, fantastic. the taxi's gonnatake mommy to the airport. and then mommy's gonna show amyher new room at school. hopefully they'll tire him out at day care. so when i get home,he'll take a late nap. no nap.- honey... ...we don't say the 'n' wordaround two-year-olds. adam.
coloured car.- okay, now, adam's lunch......is in the freezer... adam.- and i put the baby-sitter's number on the refrigerator. is there something i'm forgetting?i'm sure i'm forgetting some... diane, diane, relax. don't you think i can handlethings around here? of course you can, honey. break it up, guys. don't worry, dad. she'll get there,realize there's nothing to do turn around, and come right back. bye.

maybe this will teach himto be here on time. szalinski isn't running the show.i am. this better work this time,so concentrate. ten seconds. nine, eight, seven, six, five... ...four, three, two, one, zero. here. sorry, everybody. there were some largecumulonimbus clouds blocking the sun,and i-i lost power. and my son got a job for the summer...wet and wild. i had to drop him off.
what's that stuff on your face? oh, excuse me, dr hendrickson?- i'm sick and tired of this. now, we have had some successreplicating szalinski's experiments shrinking matter. but reversing the process,enlarging matter... ...has seen us run upone blind alley after another. clifford sterling demands results. his board of directors demands results,the united states government... ...demands results... ...and as project director, i...- excuse me, dr hendrickson.
i beg your pardon, wayne.as project co-director, i intend to deliver results. l-i've been doing some work on my ownon the problem, sir. yes, wayne. i think you'll findif you look at these calculations... wayne, wayne, wayne, wayne. when you licensed your deviceto sterling labs, you were promised... ...that the finest minds in the countrywould be working on it, and they are. i know that, sir.- good, good.
but i-i think if you look at thesenotes, you'll find that although... mandy?- yeah, rick? nick.- nick. hey, nick, your dad's herein his spaceship. the dweezil wheels. hey, nicky. want a ride? - hey, look. it's the nerdmobile.- hey, look at that. - oh, man.- have a nice flight. - thanks a lot, dad.- for what? nothing.
dad, were you ever popular in school?- you bet. i was president of the astronomy clubtwo years in a row. we were happenin' guys. so mom tells me that there's some girl? what? no. no, i was...i was just wondering. how was your flight?uh-huh. n-no, fine. no, we just got home.we're fixing dinner now. what noise? uh, it was justa bad connection, that's all.
the baby?well, h-he's fine. he's in the playpen.no, i fixed it. he can't get out. ice cream.- how's amy's dorm? uh-huh. yeah. hey, stop it. nothing. just the dog. uh-huh. no, everything's fine. boy, you worry too much. what? the chicken?
well, the chicken you left usreally looks fine, honey. so i was thinking,with mom and amy out of town... ...that this would give us guysa chance to, uh, talk about, uh... ...you know, the birds and the bees. here, nicky. - you know what i was thinking,big bunny? - what? - i was thinking we got to be nice toour brother nick. you know why? - no, why? well, because he moved away toa new place now, and he's got to make... ...all new friends, just like me and you.
yeah?- yeah. - shall we sing a song now?- yeah. - what song shall we sing?- 'abcs.' - how about 'twinkle, twinkle'?- 'abc.' 'abc'?- yeah. twinkle, twinkle...- 'abcs'. let's sing 'twinkle, twinkle, little star.' 'abcs.' 'abcs'? okay, first 'abcs.'a-b-c-d-e-f-g, h-i-j-k-l-m-n-o-p
now 'twinkle, twinkle,' okay? okay. twinkle, twinkle little star how i won... what you are... ...lt'll be a hell of a thingfor you, charles, if it works. it'll work.i'll make it work. over the years, i've seenclifford sterling attach himself... ...to one crazy idea after another.
i have to tell you,the board of directors is very worried. if you'll pardon me a moment.hendrickson. hello? what was that?- it was a balloon popping, dr hendrickson. i got the idea while singing my kid to sleep. you see, if you hit a balloonwith too much force... ...you don't allow the molecules timeto expand, and the balloon pops. problem?- no, szalinski.
oh, him. why clifford insists on keepinghim involved is absolutely beyond me. if i were running this projectby myself right now, we'd be neck-deep in apples... ...the size of buicks. there are those of us onthe board who would agree with you. ...fundamental integrityof the atomic substructure... clifford sterling just may haveoutlived his usefulness... ...to the corporation,to its stockholders.
i should think his successorwould be a foregone conclusion... ...especially if you're the one toactually make this thing work. ...thereby allowing themolecules time to expand... ...without tearing the atomic fabric. szalinsk... szalinski... ...why don't you write up this, uh,balloon research of yours? i can do the math and have iton your desk tomorrow. no, that's not necessary. all right, have a good weekend, szalinski.
'have a good weekend, szalinski'? hello?- hi, may i please speak to mandy? sure.mandy, phone. hello?- hi, mandy? i'll fix it. - daddy.- hey, what are you doing up, little guy? hey, nick, want to dosomething with me tomorrow? yeah, sure. okay. come on, fella.one more story.
then tomorrow, you wantto come with me and nicky... ...down to the lab and we'll play? okay, guys. see, adam, this is where daddy works. want me to take that?- yeah. got to be a little bit discreet about this. huh? mr szalinski.- hi, smitty. hello. you working today?
uh, just gonna tidy up a little bit. wow.- wow. this is some lab.- some lab. way better than what we hadin the attic, huh? way better.- way better. yes, would you connect mewith dr hendrickson, please? call up a command directorylabeled 'primary laser drive.' tell me what it says under 'intensity.' it says 'access denied.'- access denied?
got to figure out some way howto lower the intensity of the laser. hey, dad. we could diffuse it maybe. that's a good idea. now we'll set final target.- target what, dad? hey, can i borrow this, pal?- no. come on. let me see if i can makebig bunny really big bunny, huh? yes, sir. i thought it was unusual,him being in here on a saturday. no, you did the right thingletting me know. thank you.
well, that's it for me. hey, you're gonna haveto wear some glasses. there you go. thirty seconds. twenty-five seconds. twenty seconds. 19, 18, 17, 16... ...15, 14, 13... ...12, 11, 10...
...9, 8, 7, 6, 5... dang. power surge.- 3, 2, 1... quick, the abort switches.- zero. unable to abort. joe, what's happening up here? uh, mr szalinski.uh, your security clearance... ...denies you access to the equipment... ...without dr hendrickson's permission. you are aware of that, right?- yeah, smitty.
uh, mr szalinski... i'm sorry i had to, uh, uh... that baby of yours.sure starting to get big. see you, smitty. i'm bigger.bigger, bigger, bigger. dad, how come you got to asksomebody's permission to work... ...on your own invention? well, nick, dad's a memberof a team now, and i'm working... ...with some real talented people.
but, dad, it's your invention.they didn't have the idea, you did. okay, bud. looks like daddy... ...needs to spend a little quality timewith nick, okay? so i'm gonna get you a baby-sitter.you're gonna have yourself a good time. nick.- yeah. you puttin' on a little bit of weight? i'm big. you know what? daddy's gonnamake you a nice quick lunch. maybe kind of a low-cal thing.
what do you think, huh?it's gonna be good. okay, you know what?sit down and hang onto him. uh, baby-sitter,baby-sitter, baby-sitter. 555-5654. okay, so lunches.whoa. how about that, huh? yeah?- hi, is this mandy park? yeah. uh, hi, this is, uh, wayne szalinski.can you come over about 3:30 for us? uh, 3:30?sounds okay, mr schlitzminski.
uh, szalinski, dear.- szalinski, right. that's what i said. i, like, charge $2.50 an hour.unless, of course, i actually have to do anything... ...like change diapersor clean up or something, in which case, the price goes up. oh, no. all you have to dois just-just watch him, really. okay, see you at 3:30.- okay. okay. are these quark's or yours? you just stay here, okay?
- she sounded great on the phone.- i want to go to a restaurant. you want to go to a restaurant?but i just made this stuff. it's gonna be good. i want to go eat in restaurant. well, um, i'll be the waiter, okay?and, uh, let me take your order. what would you like?- i want the duck. duck. the duck...the duck is not very good tonight. uh, can i recommend the special? okay.- okay, fine. we have soup du jour.
we have hamburger.we have french fries today. would you like 'em?- okay. all right. i'll be right back.- okay. hey, nick, want to go to a movie?just the two of us. yeah, there's a movie at the desert sixi wanted to see. great. come on.it'll take our minds off everything. i'll check show times.- okay, and then maybe afterwards, we can get a bite to eat or something.
big, big bunny. what's that? what's gotten into him? dad, how?- where were you in the lab this morning? were you watching adam? he was off to the side.- but at the moment of discharge, where was he? just before, i know,he was off to the side. wasn't he? somehow, i don't think so.
boo. don't worry, adam.daddy's going to make everything okay. okay, we got to get him back to the lab,analyse the data... ...and reverse the process. - one thing, dad.- what? do you think the security guard mightget suspicious with us walking in... ...with a seven-foot baby?- uh oh . good point. this will cover your head and your hair.here, adam, put this on.
there. he looks likea badly dressed beekeeper. all right. okay.now just act natural. come on, bud.atta boy. smitty. smitty. um, i forgot the,um, the keys, uh, to my van, and i couldn't-couldn't start the van. it's in the lab.it's in the lab, but i'm not going... ...to use anything in there... ...because of my security, you know,access... a-access thing, which you mentioned earlier.
so i'm just gonna getthe keys in the lab now. come on, down. szalinski.- go back up. just stopped by to dosome, uh, computations... ...in the... in the database. the database has been erased.our entire experiment, gone. get back. back. erased?- all 38 gigabytes. it can't be.
sure it can, if the main controller wastrying to compensate laser intensity... ...for this, which you jammedinto the filter pack, you idiot... ...causing a power surgethrough the entire main drive system. - who was that?- who? - the guy in the hat.- uh, a-a friend of mine. well, what language was he speaking?- yugoslavian. you let a foreigner into the lab.- he's not a foreigner. he's my wife's uncle yanosh from yugoslavia. he's family, and he just wanted to seethe lab, and i... and i brought him here.
the man's a genius.did you see the size of his head? 225, the iq on that man.an extended brainpan. extended brainpan? - bafroom.- no bathroom right now, adam. did he say 'bathroom'?- bafoon. bafoon. yugoslavian. it's a term of, uh, of appreciation. 'bafoon: thank you for bringing me downhere on a saturday to the lab... ...to look around,' that's all. how long before we can restorethe system from the backups?
well, that doesn't concern you. you're off the project. you don't have the authorityto make that decision. well, maybe i don't. so why don't you call clifford sterlingpersonally and plead your case. however, after this morning's littleescapade, and the time and money... ...it'll cost sterling labs... i don't think the old manwill have a great deal of sympathy. so i hope you'll spare yourselfthe embarrassment of having...
...to be escorted to the gate. start working data restoration backwardsfrom 8:56 this morning... ...to the exact time the system crashed. i want to know what he was up to. why didn't you tell 'em, dad?i mean, at least then... ...they'd know that you were able tomake it work when nobody else could. look, nick. remember we made you kidspromise never, ever to tell anyone... ...you were accidentally shrunkand lost for two days?- yeah that's because we didn't wantyou guys to become specimens,
to undergo countless tests... ...to go through endless observationsand who knows what else. what about adam?what are we going to do? i don't know.what i do know is... ...we got to figure some way to fix thisbefore your mother gets home. hi, guys.i'm home. where'd this come from? - what do we do?- i don't know. we could drive to mexico,dad, and hide out.
come back when he's bigger.i mean, older. maybe she wouldn't notice then.- no. honesty's the best policy, nick. i'll just explain. sure. it's not the first timesomething like this has happened... ...to our family. i'll just tell the truth.- then beg for mercy. coloured car. what was that all about?- um, i had a little trouble...
...with the van. l-i-i thought i put it in, uh, in-inpark, and it went into reverse... 'cause the 'p' and the...and the 'r' look... you're back early.- yeah, i-i took a cab from the airport. you know, it really was silly. amy didn't need me at all.who's the man in the loud sport coat? stop. no. no, those are nick's. well, diane, that's what i wantedto talk to you about. now, the-the... - sit down.- mom.

what?- you're fired. so szalinski, what have you got in mind,so we can get that kid of yours... ...back to normal size by bedtime? well, sir, the prototype's in the van...- hold on, folks. we've got a problem. your son's escaped,and he's over 50 feet tall. that's impossible.my son's only 14 feet tall. i'll drive.- that's still pretty tall. yes, get me terence wheeler.this is an emergency. he broke out?- he busted out of the truck...
...and knocked it completely over. what's he doing now?- he's just standing there. but he's smiling. now, adam, sit down.- nick, i don't think sitting's... ...such a good idea. ooh, toys. he did what?- put your son and the baby-sitter... ...in his pocket and left. he's always doing that. i findthe strangest things in his pockets.
wayne, what do you supposeis causing this growth phenomenon? i don't know. they were transporting himalong copper mine road. that runs alongside high-voltage lines.- oh. and yesterday when i gave him lunch,he was right near the microwave oven. and you said the baby grewwhile he was watching tv. of course. i don't understand any of this.- electromagnetic flux. around every operatingelectrical device, there's a flux.
like an electromagnetic force field.- that's what's causing the baby to grow. would this electromagnetic, uh...would it surround neon lights too? yeah, why?- your kid. he's headed toward las vegas. uh-oh.- uh-oh. you are not fired,not by a long shot. this is the opportunityi've been waiting for. at last. sterling has gone too far this time. the board is getting together tonight.until then, i want you on this. whatever it takes, just getthe situation under control.
