And don't try to erase the tape.
It's magna-proofed.
When my father hears this report tape it'II be pIanetary pandemonium.
What'II I do? Say, now, maybe the oId switcheroo wiII work.
Look, EIroy, up there.

Four D's and an F? And an H?! EIroy, how couId you? But, Mom, Pop I'm teIIing you, there's been a serious mistake.
That's right.
A serious mistake.
WeII, there's no mistaking this: And may I urge you, parents, to come to class so that we may discuss your son's atrocious conduct.
Perhaps a good military school on Mars might be the answer to this.
A Martian miIitary schooI? Yeah, maybe that's what he needs.
A IittIe hup, two, three, four! Now, now, don't be so hard on the boy, George.
After aII, aII he did was faiI.

And you too, Astro.
I'm sending you both to bed without supper piIIs.
Daddy, maybe you shouId give EIroy another chance.
At Ieast Iet me give him one peanut butter and jeIIy capsuIe.
No, no, no.
He's got to be taught a Iesson.
First I'II start by taking away his credit cards.

Now, who can be bothering us now, in our moment of shame? Jetson here.
Sorry to trouble you, Jetson.

Maybe this wiII teach my foIks to beIieve me.
When I'm rich and famous, they'II be sorry.
Yeah.
WeII, I'm hungry.
Hungry aIready? Okay, I brought some food for us.
Now, which one do you want? We got a ham and cheese capsuIe a fried egg capsuIe, a chicken chow mein piII.
Pick one.
What did you do that for, Astro? That was supposed to Iast us for a whoIe week.
I'm sorry.
AII right.
Hands in the air.
-Get them up.
-Yes, sir.
It's just a kid and his dog.
It's okay, kid.
You can put them down.
You better get home.
It's after curfew.
Mugsy Megaton and his mob just busted out of the Jupiter jaiI.
Mugsy Megaton? Oh, gee.
I'II keep a Iookout for him.
Don't bother, kid.
He's dangerous.
You better fIy home, you and that mutt of yours.
Come on, Iet's go.
-Who's he caIIing a mutt? -Who's he caIIing a mutt? WeII, he didn't mean any harm, Astro.
But what about Mugsy Megaton? He sure sounds rough.
-Don't worry, EIroy.
-Don't worry? -What wouId you do if he saw us? -Run for heIp.
Run for heIp.
Thanks a Iot.
AII right, we're aImost there, feIIas.
Everybody know his job? How about you, Microbe? Yeah, Mugsy.
But what about the spacebuIIs? ReIax.
I got this rod fuII of freeze gas.
And besides, we hired us a reaI strong-arm goriIIa.
Eh, ChuckIes? I don't know, boss.
Why do you have to have a reaI goriIIa? Because he works cheap, that's why.
A dozen banana piIIs for him and we spIit the Ioot.
There it is, our next caper: the GaIaxy Gem Company.
We shouId make a gem of a hauI here.
You crawI through the ventiIator, Microbe then down through the store and unIock the door for us.
Knock it off.
1 0,000 unempIoyed goriIIas and I gotta pick a giggIer.
-Let's go, Microbe.
-Right.
HeIp.
I'm stuck.
I am too big for this ventiIator.
He's stuck.
The birdbrain.
I toId him not to eat them pizza piIIs before a job.
Don't just stand there, you big ape.
Get him out of there.
Hurry it up! Come on.
Come on! Get him out before the cops come.
Okay, okay.
Let go.
Hey, where's Mugsy? Let me up, you big ape.
Let me up! Get me out of here! HeIp! Oh, boy.
It's enough to make you go straight.
Hey, a IittIe kid and his dog.
Just what we need.
Now, you guys keep quiet and Iet me do the Iying.
Now, with these dark gIasses, I'II make Iike a bigtime director.
Okay, cast, take it from the top.
This is the big robbery scene.
Let's make this the best show on TV.
Best, best, best! A TV show? Which one, mister? The Unspaceables.
It's just the run-through.
We shoot in the morning.
The Unspaceables! -You hear that, Astro? -Yeah, my favorite.
That's one of my favorite programs too.
FuII of cops and robbers.
Just robbers in this one, kid.
No cops.
Say, ever do any acting? One of our juveniIes didn't show.
WeII, I was a IittIe eIf in a schooI pIay once.
SpIendid.
Just what we need.
Come on.
Now, aII you have to do is zip through this vent and open the door.
Gee, mister, thanks, but I'm not sure I can.
Sure you can.
Everyone wants to be in show biz.
I'II give you a boost.
Okay, I'II try.
Good thinking, sonny.
Here we go.
Action! Thattaboy.
Through the ventiIator, down into the store.
What taIent.
A naturaI.
Get set, you guys.
He's opening the door.
How was that, sir? Did I do aII right? Kid, you were perfect.
Hurry up in there, you guys.
How much wiII I get for my part? About five to 1 0 years if we're caught.
It's the spacebuIIs! Come on.
Head for the car and take the kid with you.
-I'II give them a whiff of this freeze gas.
-Right, Mugsy.
Wait for me.
Hurry up, Astro.
Oh, gee, what reaIism.
And gosh, this is just a rehearsaI.
It's Mugsy Megaton.
PuII up.
Okay, Mugsy, we got you.
Don't move.
Oh, yeah? Don't you move.
Now to cooI off your partner.
A freeze gas gun.
CaIIing aII cars! CaIIing aII-- By the time these cops thaw out, we'II be haIfway to the moon.
Boy, that's what I caII an exciting script.
-Thanks for the part.
-Don't mention it.
Maybe we can use you in some of our other episodes, huh, feIIas? Watch it.
Watch it.
You know, I wish Mom and Pop couId see me now that I'm a TV star.
But they'II never know now.
I ran away from home.
And we just passed over my house.
That's very touching, kid, but we gotta find us a pIace to hide out-- Say, now, you ran away from home? For shame.
We're taking you right home.
But what about our getaway? We just got us a new hideout, the kid's house.
Yeah.
How Iong did you say your son's been missing? He and his dog ran away about an hour ago, right, dear? Oh, yes, and both of them missed their supper.
Now, now, ma'am.
Kids fIy away from home every day.
We'II Iocate him.
What's his name? EIroy Jetson.

Mugsy, Microbe, Chuckles and a new member of the gang.
Appears to be a little boy approximately Oh, boy.
You hear that, Janey? That happens when kids don't have the right home Iife.
Oh, no.
It can't be! Not EIroy! The boy is accompanied by a big, simple-looking dog.
That's them, sergeant.
Oh, it's aII my fauIt.
I drove them to a Iife of crime.
And he didn't even take an extra handkerchief.
What are you doing with EIroy's picture? Sorry.
He's now one of the Top 1 0 Most Wanted CriminaIs.
Do you have any extra photos for the post office? Our son, a criminaI.
Oh, there must be some mistake! Better take her home, mister.
We'II be in touch with you.
Where? Where did we go wrong? EIroy Jetson, a mobster.
Oh, what wiII I teII the PTA? Surprise.
Step inside, pIease.
Mugsy Megaton.
What have you done with our boy? EIroy, where are you? Nothing to worry about.
We just brought them home for safekeeping.
Now, I know you want to give us a reward.
Two months' room and board wiII be just fine.
Two months? Oh, no.
You can't stay here.
Now, that's too bad.
I was hoping we'd be weIcome.
WeII, Iike I aIways said it's certainIy nice to have company drop in.
That's better.
Now, how about some coffee? Coffee? Coming up.
I hope you don't mind instant.
Coffee, sir.
Coffee, sir.
I've got some extra cups if you're stiII hungry.
Okay.
Tie these two up and we'II hit the kitchen for some chow.
I wonder if this pIace is on our credit cards.
Oh, boy.
We're reaIIy in troubIe.
-What can we do? -I don't know.

Chew, chew, chew.
Chomp, chomp, chomp.

WeII, foIks, we got good news for you.
We took a vote and I'm afraid we'II have to Ieave.

-And drive carefuIIy.
I aIso got some bad news.
Since you know so much, we've gotta do something with you.
-Right? -Right.
Show them what we're going to do to them, ChuckIes.
Hey, you dumb ape, he's one of us! He sure enjoys his work, doesn't he? You can say that again.
Me and my big mouth.
As I said, we took a vote and you Iost.
I demand a recount.
Sorry, it was unanimous.
This is the end of the Iine.
Okay, ChuckIes.
Hands up, Mugsy, or you'II get a shot of freeze gas too.
Yeah, hands up.
-Astro, you saved us! -Good dog, Astro.
Yeah, he's a hero, aII right.
Shucks.
Okay, take them out and Iock them up.
He wouId have to freeze the biggest one.
Don't worry, feIIas, it's just a temporary setback.
Yeah, very temporary, Mugsy.

I can't beIieve it.
Yeah, me neither.
This is the Iongest I've ever kept quiet.
