Nothing crazy about a boy

having an imagination.

Can't hold him back forever.

I'm just trying to prepare him

for the real world out there, Dad.

Dreamers get swatted.

Mrs. McFly, one of your maggots

just jumped on the Baxters' dog.

- They're halfway down the block.

- Coming.

All right!

Who wants to twist an antenna

with old Louie?

When I don't know what to do

I just wanna fly, fly, fly

I wanna be with you

and make you dance, dance, dance

Baby, baby, baby,

make me feel so hot, hot, hot

Let me know

when you're taking off for the moon!

I might want to come along with you.

Okay. I've been doing a lot of thinking.

I was doing a lot of sleeping.

Couldn't this have waited until tomorrow?

- I'm going to the moon.

- The moon?

Are you crazy?

A fly can't make it to the moon.

We can if we hitch a ride.

Wait a minute. What's this "we" stuff?

Guys, we've watched a ton of these flights.

They only last a few minutes.

We'll be back before anyone misses us.

Oh, gosh, I don't know.

The odds of making it are...

Where's your sense of adventure?

We're always talking about

taking a road trip.

Yeah, road trip. Earth. Terra firma.

Is that a dessert?

Oh, just forget it, then.

You don't want to go? I'll go myself.

He's crazy, sleep-deprived.

Nat, wait!

What... What are you doing? Let him go.

Okay.

Don't do it.

I'm in.

You did it.

What?

Oh, no. You guys don't need me to go.

No way.

- We need you.

- Come on, Scooter. We're a team!

You guys, this is not good.

I've got heartburn just thinking about it.

Scooter!

All right. All right, I'm in.

Adventure forever!

Dreamers get swatted? Never!

All right, first thing we have to do

is finish the space suits.

- Can we get them done by tomorrow?

- Yeah, if I don't sleep.

Kind of late

to be wandering around, isn't it?

I was just getting some fresh air, was all.

Really? Gee,

I can smell wood burning a mile away.

Maybe there's a fire at the dump, then.

I'm talking up here.

I'd say the gears are turning pretty hard.

You want to tell your Grandpa

what's going on?

So, tell your old Grandpa

what's on your mind,

because I know something is.

I want to do something special, Grandpa.

I want to have a big adventure like you.

- Is that right?

- Yeah.

You know, I'm all for adventure.

Nothing better than

being out there, taking risks,

having that excitement

pumping through you.

Yeah! You can't beat it.

But I'll tell you something.

Sometimes, you gotta know

that maybe you're just not ready

for the big adventure.

I bet you never waited for adventure.

You're right about that.

But, well, I have come up short.

What do you mean "short"?

Well, as a matter of fact,
