MTMajor Tom
[over radio] I can't keep it together, Dr. Venture. I'm sorry about the TVC 15.
JVJonas Venture, Sr.
Tom, I'm not worried about that tin can, I'm worried about you. You're not dying on me, and that's an order!
[Rusty walks in, half asleep]
TVThaddeus "Rusty" Venture
What's goin' on, Pop?
JVJonas Venture, Sr.
Everything's fine, son. You're havin' a nightmare. Kano! Take Rusty downstairs and get him some warm milk.
MTMajor Tom
[over radio] I've got a message for the Action Man.
JVJonas Venture, Sr.
He's listening, Tom. Go ahead.
MTMajor Tom
I'm happy. Hope you're…happy too. [Action Man tears up] I've loved all I need to love.
JVJonas Venture, Sr.
Don't talk like that, Tom. You're gonna make it. Fight it!
[Tom lets go of the controls]
MTMajor Tom
I'm…feeling very still. And…I think my spaceship knows which way to go. Tell my wife I love her. Very much.
JVJonas Venture, Sr.
She knows!
[Tom smiles placidly]
JVJonas Venture, Sr.
Ground control to Major Tom, your circuit's dead! There's something wrong! Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me? MAJOR TOM!
[The TVC 15 plunges into the ocean, the shockwaves nudging the Venture ship. Action Man takes off his helmet in tribute.]
Dad is super serious all of a sudden. Do you really think he's in as much danger as he says he is?
Oh yeah, he's screwed. I give him about an hour before he panics and begs for us to haul him up.
VDr. Venture
Okay, guys, I can hear all this!
(as Brock beats up the fake ghost pirate)
P1Pirate 1
Oh crap, he's getting his ass kicked, let's go save him!
P2Pirate 2
You crazy? My sword's made of cardboard.
Brock, if pirates really exist, I mean, Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy could even be real, right? It's like, all bets are off!
Hank, nobody ever said pirates don't exist.
So you agree with me that this is impossible.
(Brock is chained up, and talking to Hank through his communicator watch)
After the twist, you'll feel a snap. Then the body goes ragdoll on ya.
And that will knock him out...even more?
Alright fine, crybaby. Just tie him up and, maybe I guess gag him. But at the first sign of trouble I want you to at least break both his knees.
Alright Brock, I know this sounds crazy, but just hear him out.
Guuhhm. Can we have a ride home?
Noooo. Do it like you said you were gonna.
(sigh) I'm really, really sorry about this whole mess, and, you know, the whole pirate thing is behind me now, and... plus, you kinda killed Steve, and burnt my ship. So, if you could give us a lift out of here I figure we'd just call it squaresies.
HDHank & Dean
Go team Venture!
(the pirate captain looks at Brock)
I don't know, they just do that.
