My Science Project Page #4

---

I had a... really neat time tonight.

Yeah. Sure you did!

No, no, really. It was...

It was a surprise.

Like you, Harlan.

Hey, Ellie?

The name is Michael.

OK?

OK, Michael.

- Good night.

- 'Night.

- Let's go, Vinnie!

- Blasting off!

I thought you had dibs on Sawyer, Sherm.

Look, do we have a deal or what?

Messing with Harlan and Tonto's

gonna cost ya.

- How much?

- One video cassette.

- Term paper.

- Science project.

You got it!

Let's go.

Ninety-seven, ninety-eight,

ninety-nine,

one hundred.

You ain't exactly been

the perfect date, Vinnie.

- You ain't exactly been a perfect date.

- Since when?

Since you still ain't turned

into a pepperoni pizza!

Well, you can just drift, hum hole!

The sock ain't foolin' anyone!

Poor girl. You know, I've seen this movie

where this haunted car flames guys out.

Yeah! Wonder what the hell

shorted out the electrical system.

- This starter's totally shot!

- I swear somebody's got it in for you, Mikey.

- It pisses me off.

- I remember this "Mannix".

These dudes are after another dude

so they put dynamite in the first dude's car.

- When he turns the ignition...

- He gets flamed, right?

- You seen it too?

- Oh, Vinnie!

What's this piece of junk?

I don't know.

I found that at old Dawson Field.

Figured I'd pass it off as my science project.

Well, good luck. You'll need it.

Yeah. Thanks for helping me out, Vinnie.

No sweat. See ya at the brain fest tomorrow.

- OK. Take it easy.

- Yeah, 'night.

Good night.

Somebody's definitely got it in for you, Mikey.

- Yeah? Like who?

- Some low-octane type. Crystal, maybe.

Right.

Vinnie?

Holy sh...

- Look at this!

- My God!

- You all right?

- Yeah.

- What do you think it is?

- Could be an engine.

But an engine to what?

I wonder what this thing runs on.

Unleaded.

- Maybe premium!

- Shut up, Vinnie!

Holy smoke! My box! Ga...

- What happened?

- I don't know. Brand-new batteries.

- Yeah.

- That pisses me off.

Go get that battery.

I wanna run some juice through this.

All right. Move, move.

- OK, hook it up.

- Why me?

If it blows up in your face you've got

nothin' to lose. OK, move outta the way.

Where shall I put this?

I don't know. Be careful.

Sh*t!

- Put that thing out! It'll blow up.

- I'm getting outta here.

Holy smoke!

What's it doing? Vince!

What was that noise?

- Look, look, look.

- Yeah! Disconnect it!

You disconnect it. I'll watch.

What's it doing?

Vince?

Weird!

We're hallucinating, right?

No "Outer Limits" I ever seen had

this stuff before. What do we do?

We disconnect it. Come on.

You disconnect it. I'll watch.

- Go ahead. I'll stand guard.

- Yeah.

OK.
