- None of your business.

- You should be in your rug-hooking class.

- Take your hands off him.

- Or what?

- Or you'll be sorry.

- I said let him go!

- Out of my way, you old coot.

Easy, Rambo.

- What do you say we blow this joint?

- Yes.

After you.

Hey, hey!

- Look at that.

- Come on!

- Here we go.

- Last one in's a pantywaist!

Last one in ain't got a hair on his ass!

Here we go!

Where is everybody?

- How's the water?

- Great. It was just great.

A beautiful beach, a sunny day and

good friends... what more can a man ask for?

Can I have some of that, please?

Wonderful. Would you look at them move?

Gentlemen, I'd say all that those ladies

are lacking is a little mature male company.

- Yeah.

- How about that?

I think you're right.

Come on, Bernie. Come and dip your wick.

Come on!

Joe, I've gotta go. I've got an appointment.

An appointment?

We're playing a game here, Bernie.

It's important.

OK, Bernie. I'll get the guys.

Art. Ben.

- How's this feel?

- Perfect.

You're a good friend, Jack.

I knew we could count on you to help us out.

It's no sweat. You're my favourite Martian.

Well, I guess we're ready

and we'll be back in about an hour's time.

Yeah. OK.

- "My favourite Martian." That's good.

- See, he gets it.

"St Petersburg Oceanographic Institute."

They got a cocoon.

Holy sh*t.

OK, David, one more swing.

I know you can do it, buddy. Come on.

Hit it, man. Come on, David, one more time.

Oh, man, too bad.

- Next.

- That's OK, David. It's only batting practice.

Come on, Tom, you're up. Take a cut.

Screwed up again, guy.

No matter how many times I see that,

it's still impressive.

What's the mystery? You were analysing the

effects of quakes on fish and find a meteorite.

When a meteor enters the atmosphere, the

pressure will leave characteristic markings.

This baby doesn't have 'em.

Whatever it is, it didn't fall from the sky.

It's weird-looking.

It's kind of like a dinosaur egg.

What do you think, Sara?

You subscribe to the dinosaur-egg theory?

- Oh, my God.

- What is it?

It's a life form.

I'm gonna get a hot dog

and an ice-cold beer. How about you?

- Sure, I'll have a beer.

- You get a milk shake.

In you go.

- Hey, look, it's Wade Boggs.

- How's it hanging, doofus?

Yeah, that guy can't hit worth sh*t.

Wanna let me in on that?

I read somewhere, I don't know where,

maybe Ted Williams.

It said the hardest thing in sports to do

is hit a round ball with a round bat.

What you gotta do is learn how to hit the ball

with some degree of control.

You go over by the bucket

and I'm gonna hit some of these.

Now, watch. I'm gonna try

to see the ball hit the bat.

Boom. See? And you don't
