Son of Flubber Page #3

What Id like to do... yes, Mr. Hurley. Betsy,

what is all this, the dogs and that coat?

We can't afford that. Now why don't

we let the little lady enjoy herself?

But the p... professor, Id like

to talk some business with you.

I hope you won't think Im

presumptuous going ahead like this.

Mr. Hurley is a live wire. He likes to

act while other people are still talking.

Just a minute. Who are all

these people around here?

All part of your company:

flubber enterprises.

"Flubber enterprises"? Just a cozy little

company we're putting together, you and I,

To make things

out of flubber.

Professor, when you invented this stuff,

I don't think you dreamed what you had.

It'll touch the lives of every

man, woman and child in the world.

Just like Edison

and the electric light.

Now wait, I... I hardly consider myself

in the same class with Mr. Edison.

Don't be so modest, professor. That's

your trouble. That's where I come in.

Now Ive worked up a few product

sells here just to give you an idea:

...when you brush your

teeth with flubberdent.

And now Ive had our agency boys work up a little

TV campaign... show people what flubber can do.

- Hit them where they live.

- They'll wonder how they got along without it.

Now I don't want you to get the feeling

that we're rushing you. But the thing is...

Howie, roll the film.

Guess what this is.

A million dollars!

Quiet, professor.

But, Betsy...

[ fanfare ]

Hi there.

Rex Williams here.

You know, my friends, down

through the corridors of time,

As mankind has emerged

from the dark ages,

Toiling, ever striving upward,

there have been turning points,

Inspirational milestones, and we

remember the great names of science.

Newton...

and the law of gravity.

Watt...

and the steam engine.

[ Steam whistle

blowing ]

Edison...

and the electric light.

And, my friends,

Brainard... and flubber.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen,

"flubber. "

For it was not too long ago,

in a small american city,

That the discovery of flubber

burst upon a waiting world.

That was the beginning.

From those first crude

basketball shoes came more shoes,

Shoes for people

in every walk of life.

But it was not

to stop there.

True, now man had lifted himself

up by his own boot straps.

He could walk with his head

above the crowd.

But this was only

the springboard,

Not only to a vast

new line of products,

But to a happier,

safer way of life.

[ Announcer ] friends,

is your home a booby trap...

just waiting to snare you

the moment you set foot in it?

I'm home, dear.

[ Yells ]

[ Gasps ]

Is your kitchen a savage jungle

teeming with perils and pitfalls?

Dear, where's

the first-Aid k-I-It!
