I didn't mean that.

Walter, no! Pull me up! Don't!

What's the matter, Danny?

Not still scared of the basement,

are you?

Walter! No, Walter!

It's not funny! Stop!

Pull me up! Walter!

Three-year-olds

are scared of basements!

You're really mean.

Dad said not to play in there.

Look what I found in the basement.

Looks dumb and old.

I like it.

Yeah, you would, it's for babies.

Walter, this is so cool!

Check this out!

What's Zathura?

- Will you play with me?

- No.

- I won't cheat.

- Yeah, you will.

- A card came out!

- Fascinating!

"Me... Mete...

Meor sho...

Meeor sh... sho..."

Read this for me.

"Meteor shower.

Take evasive action."

What's evasive action?

It's when you get out of the way of something.

What exactly am I supposed to

get out of the way of, exactly?

I have no idea.

All it says is "Take evasive a..."

Grandma!

It's meteors!

Take erasive action!

Take erasive action!

Danny, in here!

Danny, hurry up! It's safe!

Danny, come on, hurry!

Danny, come on, hurry up!

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!

Come on, get in, get in!

This is SportsCenter.

Schilling deals no love...

I don't think we should play

that game anymore.

That's weird.

It only hit the living room.

Wow, outer space.

No, that's just nighttime.

I don't know, Walter.

Night never looked so close before.

Wait.

Walter, check this out.

- Tell her.

- You tell her.

You should,

she won't freak out as much.

We shouldn't really even be in here.

Dude, we're in outer space.

It doesn't matter.

Then you wake her.

Fine.

Lisa.

Lisa. Lisa...

- Go away.

- Lisa, you gotta get up.

What's the rule about

being in my room?

We're not allowed in

unless it's an emergency.

And what's the emergency?

There was a meteor shower

and everything got wrecked.

- We can't get back to Earth.

- Okay, shut up!

- Just look.

- Yeah.

- Oh, no.

- Yeah!

- What do we do?

- It's already dark?

I'm gonna be so late!

- It's not dark!

- We're in outer space!

I saw Saturn outside!

Lisa, open up!

Shut up and listen to me!

Dad put me in charge

until he got home.

Which means you guys

need to do what I say.

Do me a favor. Go downstairs

and stay out of my face.

But it's an emergency.

- Is the house on fire?

- No.

- Is anyone hurt?

- No, but...

- Then leave.

- Lisa, please.

We're really scared. Can you just

watch what this game does?

If this is some weird joke you guys

are trying to pull, you're dead.

No, it's not a joke.

Here, watch this. Watch this. Here.
