Now, tall man, bowler hat,

approached you?

No, why?

I could lose my badge for this.

He's a suspect in a robbery.

What did he steal?

- A time machine.

- A what?

I've tracked him to this time,

and my informants say he's after you.

Me? Why me?

The boys back at HQ

haven't figured out a motive yet.

And by "HQ," I mean "headquarters. "

I know what HQ means.

Good. You're a smart kid.

That might keep you alive, for now.

Just worry

about your little science gizmo

and leave the "perp" to me.

- And by "perp," I mean...

- I know what it means!

Okay, Mr Smarty-pants.

Bowler Hat Guy!

My frogs!

You're not gonna get away with it,

kid with science project.

Dude, you almost busted

my solar system!

My frogs! They're getting away!

Got you! That's the last of them.

Annoying little girl,

I don't have time for this.

I'm on a very important...

Don't sass me, boy. I know karate.

Come on, Pukowski! Feel the pain!

Love the pain!

Coach...

Next up is Lewis.

Yes... Lewis! Excuse me.

Lewis, tell me this thing is not gonna...

It's okay. It's gonna work this time.

I won't let you down, I promise.

All right, Lewis, I trust you.

Knock 'em dead.

That was a figure of speech.

Please don't kill anyone.

Okay, stand back, everybody.

This next project

will knock your socks off.

Seriously, you might wanna stand back

a little.

Have you ever forgotten something,

and no matter how hard you tried,

you couldn't remember it?

Well, what happens

to these forgotten memories?

I propose

they're stored somewhere in your brain,

and I built a machine

that can retrieve them.

I call it the Memory Scanner.

It's shiny!

So, Lewis,

how does the Memory Scanner work?

First, you input the desired period

of time on this keypad.

Then a laser scans the cerebral cortex,

where memories are stored.

The retrieved memory

is then displayed on this monitor.

Wrap him up. I'll take two.

Now, I'm going back 12 years,

three months and 11 days.

Why that particular day?

You didn't think

I was paying attention, did you?

Well, that was the day...

Let's just say, that was

a very important day in my life.

Fair enough. Play ball.

It'll just take a second

to get the turbines going.

Lewis, wait!

She's gonna blow!

Watch out!

Feel the pain! Love the...

Hurts so much! Make it stop!

Make it stop!

Coach, suck it up, okay?

Let us conduct ourselves in a way

that we'll all be proud of tomorrow.

- Let's calm down!

- Mr Willerstein?

- I didn't mean to...

- Not now, Lewis!

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Not now.

Okay, and we are walking

in a calm, orderly fashion

toward the exits.

Wait, Lewis!

Come, my dear. Our future awaits.
