Not this version,

Blue Lagoon.

The "Galaga" that exists now

came out in 1986.

But this is 1982 arcade version.

All those machines,

they recalled them.

They reprogrammed them because there

was glitches in the original code.

You can see by the way the

giant space bugs come swooping in.

Kinda ziggy zaggy.

Ziggy zaggy,

is that the snobby term?

So someone designed these

space bugs after an old...

...out of print version of a video game

from 30 years ago...

...nobody would know today?

Does she really get to talk twice?

She's not even at the grown up table.

I'm sorry, is this a

National Security Council meeting...?

...or dorm room drunk party?

Our nation has just been attacked

by an unknown military force.

If this gets out to the press that we are

pinning this on some old video game...!

They would not only mock you in the news,

Mr. President, they'd impeach you!

So I suggest that the man in the orange

shorts leave the room immediately.

And those of us with long pants

and government positions...

...can discuss our options.

Alright, Brenner, do me a favor.

Take off, alright? Appreciate the help.

Goodbye.

Sorry everybody.

Mr. President.

Generals and admirals.

Guys in suits.

Zac Efron.

Gandalf...

...and Harry Potter

in the same room.

Imagine that.

Grandpa, see you around

the nursing home.

Oh ah, the sandwich guy is here.

Fooled you.

Radio:
Pass the shortstop

and to the left field for a single.

We're in the 2nd inning,

whereNWashington lead off with a single.

They're talking about how he's

standing straight over the plate...

...is working out for him. He just drove

that gap in the bat hard.

First pitch being outside

for a ball, 1-0.

And the 1-0...

Brenner!

What's your problem, dude?

What's going on?

Woe! Woe! No, Brenner!

No, Brenner. No! No! No!

It's me! It's me! It's Ludlow!

Lamonsoff Ludlow,

the wonder kid?

Yeah.

How did you get into my van?

I've been in there since you went to

that nice lady's house.

She's cute, by the way.

What?

- What is that?

- This? It's a moisturizer.

Show me what that is.

Chloroform

Chloroform?

Is that what it says?

You were going to drug me?

- Only as a last resort.

- What are you...?

- There's something I had to tell you.

- Why didn't you call me then?

Because the CIA has been

tapping my phones.

Every since I found out

the Zapruder film has been edited.

JFK shot first!

Ludlow, it's you!

Buddy! It's so good to see you!

How are you?

My goodness! Look at you!

- I know.

- Staying in shape!

I'm on a protein diet.

But I'm also doing carbs.

- Good.

- But, seriously, Brenner.

There's something I have to show you.
