The Cat from Outer Space Page #6

(sneezing)

You poor thing.

You know, he sounds terrible.

You'd better not let her get too close.

Stop milking it.

- What? - l said l was about to

rush him to the vet's.

The vet. That's a good idea, Frank.

D'you know there's a very good vet

who lives in the building? A Dr. Wenger.

He specializes in cats.

Im sure he'd be glad to take a look at him.

Jake prefers

a general practitioner.

Im sorry about dinner.

Ill make it up to you.

- How about a picnic?

- Tomorrow?

- You handled that very well.

- l didn't enjoy lying to Liz.

She's a very unusual person.

- Her kitty-cat's not too bad either.

- There's plenty of time for that.

That's all right

for you to say.

But Ive been confined to

a spaceship for five months.

Ohh...

(vehicle approaches)

- (Jake) The ship's in that big hangar.

- Oh.

There's got to be a way in.

- Its locked.

- No problem.

- Come on, come on.

- Right, right.

The coast is clear. Let's go!

There she is.

Somebody's coming.

- Somebody's coming, Frank!

- l know, l know.

What's happening?

Its all clear.

- Let's go!

- Its this way.

(dog growls)

(barks)

Forget it. it wears off in 20 minutes.

He won't remember a thing.

Come on, let's go.

Incredible.

An older model, but in pretty good shape

for a rig with nearly a trillion miles on it.

Now let's see about getting it operational

again. We've only got 34 hours left.

Right. Through here?

Hm-hm. Put me down.

Oh, it's just incredible.

The artichoke.

l was right.

- What's this... control panel?

- Uh-huh. Sort of.

- And this?

- Uh, computer.

- Then this must be the readout.

- Frank, later.

Ill explain it all later, l promise.

- First, disengage the transducer system.

- How?

Take that neo-mag intercog, and you'll find

the transducer switch on top of the ship.

Just coordinate with me.

Well, how do l get up there?

- Fly.

- Fly? You mean use your collar?

Don't be ridiculous.

We carry a spare.

Concentrate, and when you get on top,

engage the switch with the intercog

and thought-project ''seven max triad.''

- Seven max triad.

- Right. The computer will do the rest.

Seven max triad. Right.

Hey!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Hey, Frank, what are you doing up there?

What about the intercog?

Frank?

Jake, Im ready to plug it in.

Right. Go ahead.

- Its in.

- OK. Thought-project.

Seven max triad.

OK, Frank. Come on down.

Amazing.

l was afraid of that. The focal terminal

on the microtransformer's vaporized.

- You're sure?

- Positive. But Ill double-check.

- Just what l thought.

- That's where the focal terminal goes?

Acts as a catalyzer.

Ill need a small amount of org 12.

- What's org 12?

- What the focal terminal's made of.
