Thunderpants Page #3

(# Richard Strauss:

Also Sprach Zarathustra)

Alan had done it.

He had managed to make me

the same as everybody else.

It was the best day

ofmy life, ever.

(rubber creaks)

All stand.

Not a peep. Not a sound.

Not a whisper. Not a breath.

All ofmy astronauts,

each and every one...

...has worked hard...

...to overcome their problems.

And each one ofthem

is a uniquely gifted individual.

Hello, Patrick.

How progresses the day?

It's great, Alan.

I feel like new!

These thunderpants are brilliant.

A first-class engineering job.

Clearly, continued monitoring

of the situation is required.

But I have no doubt...

...these pants will withstand

the test of time.

Alan...

Slight adjustment.

Alan, now you've solved

my problem...

...can you find my unique gift?

Ah! That got it.

Your what? Gift? Oh, er,

nothing could be simpler.

You don't have one.

(Damon) Oi, you!

Why are you in my corner

of the playground, Smash?

But... I thought

that's your corner.

Nah. I decided

I didn't like that corner.

I've chosen this corner instead.

All right, fart boy,

what's for lunch?

- Don't, Damon, don't!

- I... I...

I think it would be most unwise

for you to disengage that...

Push off, Zorg boy!

This had better be jam, Smash.

(farting)

'Gas transfer successful. '

- (children jeer)

- Bet he's not farting now!

I warned you, fart boy.

I gave you every chance.

What d'you do?

You fart in my face.

Well, now you're for it!

Get him!

(shouting)

(cloth rips)

(metal clanks)

(cheers)

(Ioud fart)

(children groan)

(boy) Fart boy.

(children chant)

(chanting) Fart boy! Fart boy!

That was the worst day

ofmy life...

...ever.

(TV) In space news today...

...the electrical systems on board

the space station Icarus...

...have caused concern.

Icarus Control tell us

there is no cause for alarm.

Hello, Patrick.

Mind if I come in?

- I missed you at school.

- I'm not going back.

- I told Mum I'm ill.

- I repaired the thunderpants.

I don't care.

I know now, Alan.

You told me,

I haven't got a unique gift.

My dream's never going

to come true.

But the thunderpants work.

They're stronger than ever now.

You can try to avoid Damon.

- That's your dream right there.

- That's not my dream.

- I thought you wanted a cure.

- I did.

But that wasn't my dream.

I want to be a spaceman.

I've always wanted

to be a spaceman...

...ever since I was small.

I love rockets

and I love space.

If I was a spaceman,

I could fly into space...

...and everybody will know

it was me, Patrick Smash.

I could look down at the earth

and it would be tiny.

People like Damon

would be so small...

...you couldn't even see them.

You could hardly even see
