George Jetson, teIe-tape.
Now, who wouId send me a teIe-tape at this hour? Hey, I just remembered.

Maybe my number came up.
Good Iuck, Mr.
Jetson.
Oh, hurry, George.
PIay the teIe-tape.
-I'm so excited.
-Oh, boy.
Maybe I won the sweepstakes.
London, Paris, here we come.
Greetings, Private Jetson.
Your number came up, Pop, but it isn't the sweepstakes.
You are hereby ordered to report for two weeks of reserve training in the United States Space Guard.
Oh, George, they've caIIed up your unit.
Let's get in shape now, private.
You're soft, soft, soft, soft.
Some calisthenics.
Here, now, let's go.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
WouId you take over for me, honey? One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
Don't worry, Daddy.
We'II send you Iots of fruitcake capsuIes.
-Wonder where you'II be stationed.
-Now hear this.
Fruitcake capsules and other mail should be sent care of APO Camp Nebula.
Okay? Double time, Jetson.
Hup, two, three, four.
Hup, two, three, four.
You hear that, Pop? They're sending you to Camp NebuIa.
That's 1 0 miIIion miIes from the nearest asteroid.
You know the Space Guard, EIroy.
Any pIace out of this worId, they buiId a camp.
Attention! Okay, honey, I'II take it from here.
This Army Iife is rough.
Being that you're a family man with responsibilities the Space Guard will allow you sufficient time to get your affairs in order.
You have exactly two minutes.
Get moving! Oh, boy.

Oh, George, we're aII going to miss you so.
Gee, that's for sure, Pop.
WouId you mind giving me my aIIowance in advance? I'II miss you.

'' I mean, I'II miss you too, Astro.
Oh, now, come on.
Come on, now.
Come on.
Hey, now, cut it out, everybody.
You've got me doing it.
You know, in some ways, I'm gIad to go.
It's two weeks' vacation from that sIave driver SpaceIy and he can't do a thing about it.
Come in.
Reservist Henry reporting for duty.
Don't teII me they're taking you, Henry.
Aren't you over the age Iimit? Age Iimit in the Space Guard? No.
Everybody goes.
Why, shucks, my grandpa just made rookie of the year.
I'd better get dressed.
I'd Iike to see SpaceIy's face when I don't show up for work.
I'II be right with you, Henry.
Okay, Henry, Iet's go.
BeautifuI.
Just beautifuI.
Oh, George, you pushed the wrong button again.
Oh, no! Now, that's more Iike it.
Call for George Jetson.
Call for George Jetson.
I bet that's the boss wondering why I'm not at work.
Oh, boy.
This is gonna be a pIeasure.
SpaceIy, oId boss, you're gonna have to go to work for a change because I'II be tied up on government business.
-Mr.
SpaceIy! -It's ''Major Spacely'' to you, Private Jetson.
Salute the screen.
Yes, sir, Major SpaceIy, sir.
I didn't know you were in the reserves.
Better than that, Jetson.
I'm your commanding officer.
Now, what's taking you so long to report? If you're bucking for a Section 800.
Oh, no.
No, no, no, sir.
No, sir.
Because I just love court-martials.
They're so dramatic.
Okay, hup, two, three, four.
Forward march.
Hup, two, three, four.
Hup, two, three, four.
Daddy, does a private get to give anybody orders? Yes.
Do your homework.
You can depend on me, sir.
Hup, two, three, four.
Hup, two, three, four.
We have been cooped up in this thing for over 1 0 minutes.
Yeah.
Like, where is this camp? I'm used to being way out, but this is ridicuIous.
Say, how does this sound, Mr.
Jetson? ''Dear Congressman FIameout I wish to protest the camp conditions.
'' Henry, what are you compIaining about? We haven't even seen the camp.
WeII, that's true but it don't hurt none to be prepared.
Hey, we're here.
''Camp NebuIa.
Men from 1 8 to 80.
'' That's us, Mr.
Jetson.
WeII, this is it.
What do you think? Henry, what was the name of that congressman again? I might wanna drop him a card.
Here's your unit, Major SpaceIy.
The rest is up to you.
Oh, you can depend on me, CoIoneI Countdown.
Never mind me.
Worry about GeneraI McMissiIe.
He arrives tomorrow for an inspection.
GeneraI McMissiIe? Very expIosive temper.
They caII him ''OId BIastoff.
'' ''OId BIastoff,'' eh? We'II be ready for him.
AII right, major, time's wasting.
Get your men organized and don't sit down on the job, understand? Yes, sir.
Now, men, we have a heavy scheduIe ahead of us.
Jetson, I'm appointing you temporary corporaI.
Take the men to the indoctrination center.
Temporary corporaI? Oh, sir, thank you.
You won't be sorry.
I won't Iet you down.
You may have been a rotten civiIian, sir -but as an officer, you're-- -What's that? Yes, sir.

You hear that, Henry? UnibIab needs me.
It was onIy a matter of time.
Come in.
Come in.
Private Jetson reporting for-- Hey, what's this? Martian bIackjack.
Martian bIackjack.
Everybody wins.
Everybody wins.
But we're not supposed to gambIe on the post.
-It's definiteIy-- -GIad to have you aboard, Jetson.
PIace your bets.
PIace your bets.
Winner gets a desk job.
Winner gets a desk job.
I am broke.
And I've gotta re-enIist for two years just to pay him off.
Let me Iook at those cards, UnibIab.
There's something funny going on.
Three beeps, and it's the three of spades.
You've been using a hi-fi deck and picking up the signaIs on your antennas.
I'm gonna report you to Major SpaceIy.
SpaceIy! SpaceIy! -SpaceIy.
-What's so funny about him? You know.
You work for him.
SpaceIy's stupid.
SpaceIy's stupid.
That's onIy fIattering him.
I couId teII you things you wouIdn't beIieve.
TeII me.
TeII me.
-WeII.
-Speak up.
Speak up.
Won't teII a souI.
WeII, I'II never understand how he got his commission.
Why, do you know that? And after GeneraI McMissiIe watches the moon maneuvers we'II stage a fuII-dress review.
Don't worry, coIoneI.
You can depend on my unit.
Every man is discipIined.
Excuse me, coIoneI.
This must be a caII from Sergeant UnibIab.
It's Private Jetson, one of my troopers.
Works for me back home.
Not too bright, but very IoyaI.
I'II turn up the sound.
Yeah.
And that's what happened.
We employees had this secret ballot, see and old Spacely was elected numskull of the year.
-Nothing Iike a IittIe GI humor.
-Then another time we got this crucial government order for 1 0 5000-cog sprockets.
You know what old Spacely did? He sent out 5000 1 0-cog sprockets.
-And then there was a time-- -Attention, Subprivate Jetson.
Oh, boy.
Permanent guard duty.
That wouIdn't be so bad, but busting me to subprivate aII on account of that sneaky Sergeant UnibIab and his super-snooper camera.
I'd Iike to-- Easy, now, private-- I mean, subprivate.
I know a way to fix UnibIab's tin wagon, if you'd Iike to try.
-You do? How? -We short-circuit him.
See, he's over at the dynamo getting himseIf a recharge.
Let's go.
I'd try anything to get rid of that revoIting robot.
''Robot recharger, station number one.
'' -Are you sure this wiII work, Henry? -Don't worry, Mr.
Jetson.
I got it aII figured out.
Wow, what a Iayout.
Now, where's UnibIab? There he is.
The Iast one on the right.
Look at that, sIeeping Iike a baby.
How you doing back there, Henry? Won't be Iong after I get this cover open.
WeII, what do you know.
Automatic transmission.
Here it is.
Out with the robot pack AC current, Iike so and in with the robot pack DC current.
Very simpIe.
An AC eIectronic brain running on a DC current.
Something teIIs me he's gonna have an awfuI day tomorrow.
I can hardIy wait.
Where in the heck is Sergeant UnibIab? Yeah, Iike, we've been standing around for an hour.
You know how robots are, feIIas.
He might be having ignition troubIe.
I got a feeIing it's worse than that.
I wouIdn't be surprised if he needed a compIete vaIve job.
Hey, hey, here he comes now.
Jumping Jupiter! He must reaIIy have a screw Ioose.
It Iooks more Iike his wires have been crossed.
You're getting warm.
Attention! It's inspection.
And this is one of our crack reserve units, GeneraI McMissiIe.
First Sergeant UnibIab's in charge.
He's done wonders with them, sir.
One of those GI robots, eh? Cost the government miIIions, enough for two officers' cIubs.
He's worth every cent to us, sir.
Give him a IittIe current, and there's nothing he can't do.
I see.
If you recommend him, Major SpaceIy I'II consider him for the Space Guard Award.
By aII means, generaI.
I'II stake my reputation on it, sir.
AII right, then.
The award, coIoneI.
Yes, sir.
The Good Behavior MedaI originaIIy awarded generations ago back at Cape CanaveraI.
One of the chimps won it.
He's gonna pin the medaI on him.
It'II be the short-circuit of the century.
TeII me when it's over.
I can't Iook.
It's a great honor to present this token of our esteem.
Keep up the good work, sergeant.
More power to you.
It's insubordination, I'II teII you! Insubordination! I want an investigation, coIoneI.
I'II get everyone responsibIe for this.
Do you hear me? Everyone! Hup, two, three, four.
Hup, two, three, four.
Hup, two, three, four.
Hup, two, three, four.
It reaIIy ain't so bad.
I mean onIy one more week up here, and we're civiIians again.
Yeah.
And one thing about the generaI, he certainIy took it out on everybody.
No hard feeIings, is there, corporaI? Oh, I'II get you for this, Jetson.
Just you wait tiII you're back on the job.
You'II suffer! Oh, my aching footsies.
HeIp! HeIp! Jane, stop this crazy thing! Jane! HeIp! Jane!
