I, I don't think it's feasible.
- Me, either.
Now, wait a minute.
If we could generate...
- a strong enough hyper-charge...
- You can't do that.
You mean the reflex mode might
provoke a total reversal?
- Itjust might be possible.
- It won't work.
- Yeah.
- Sir.
Don't, don't listen to them, Howard.
I have got you booked...
on A.M. Cleveland. We can get the
cover of Science Digest. We, we...
- Butt Out, four-eyes.
- Yeah.
Look, you guys, could you
really send him back?
If we did, we could establish a
continuing link between our planets.
But, he would have to leave tonight
while the alignment still exists.
- We can't afford to wait.
- You mean...
I'm finally gonna breeze
this fly trap?
Ducky, this is what you wanted.
You're going home.
- Yeah.
- Right.
Carter, call Larry have him set up
the initiation procedure.
Tell him I'll meet him at the lab
right away. You and Blumburtt...
can bring Howard. You are about to
make history a second time...
- my little friend.
- Thanks...
but once was plenty.
- Get to it.
- Right.
You know, Howard, we could
hold out for a PBS special.
Phil!
Bev, get dressed. Aren't
you gonna see me off?
Sure I am. I just hope they
let you take a carry-on bag.
Look, I'm gonna put on these
Polaroids that we took at the Club.
Thanks.
These'll help...
or the guys back home
are never gonna believe me.
- What's this in my bag?
- Souvenirs?
- I'm gonna miss you a lot, Ducky.
- Bev...
I don't belong here.
You know I've gotta go.
Yeah.
Lily had the dolphins.
Cousteau, the whales.
Goudall gorillas.
I had a duck.
I could have been
a contender.
Bev?
I'm not a real sentimental guy.
No, I bet you were born from
a very hard-boiled egg, Ducky.
Yeah. But, I do keep wondering...
of all the alleys in the world
I could have fallen into that night.
Why did it have to be yours?
Because, right now...
you're the one and only thing that's
making it very hard for me to leave.
- There's no guard.
- We should go back then?
Phil?
- What?
- Drive.
What are these alarms?
- Something's happened.
- What's happened?
I don't know.
- That is really cool.
- Right. Hold it!
Security!
My eyes! My eyes! It exploded again!
It was terrible!
We have no right to tamper
with the Universe.
This does not hold well.
Is he okay?
Get out of the way!
- It's still hot!
Get them out of here!
Head for the emergency exists.
Howard, where are you going?
- Larry, where's Dr. Jenning?
- Carter, come here.
Let me show you this.
He was pre-activating the
laser spectra-scope...
we lost control again and there
was another explosion.
And, Jenning caught the full
force of the blast this time.
- Is he all right? Where is he?
- You, you see the bottom...
of the spectra scope, blew it
to the wall and Jenning just...
- just disappeared.
- Excuse me.
But is this gonna delay
my take-off?
Is, is that it?
That's unbelievable!
Yeah. We brought Howard down
the first time, but what if...
God, Larry what if we brought down
something else this time?
We're rounding up all the scientists
for you in the lab, sir...
but I think you better take a look
at this other...
- this other thing first.
- A thing... Hansen?
Is that kind of precise,
descriptive techniques...
they're teaching Rookies
nowadays? A thing?
I, I wanna know what they're
doing with Howard in there?
- Excuse me, are you in charge here?
- Yeah. Why?
Well, I wanna know why they're
harassing Howard.
Who's Howard?
He had nothing to do with it.
Howard, Howard is just an innocent.
- Thing?
- No, Duck!
Just an innocent duck?
They wonder why I'm asking
for an early retirement...
- you deal with this.
- Wait a second, you can't...
Herbie, you got
a 'thing' in here?
Thing.
I've had enough!
I wanna see my lawyer.
I've got rights, you know?
I'm suing.
Yeah.
Goddamnit, Hansen, get in here
and get this friggen duck suit...
- of this nut!
- Okay, sir.
Hey, hey, let me go!
You big
