(Dr. Input) 'Well, Lowbeam.'
How does it feel to stand on the threshold
of a historic scientific discovery
of intergalactic proportions?
So, what's the big deal about a block of ice, Dr. Input?
(Dr. Input) 'No, no, no, not the ice but the contents.'
'Look at it closely.'
It's an absolutely astonishing discovery.
Why, this could put us right up there
with Darvin, Einstein, and other luminaries
in the parade of scientific stardom.
So, what's in the ice block, Doc?
(Dr. Input) 'But, that's just it, we don't know.'
'This creature may have been frozen like this for centuries.'
The mystery will be solved by Professor Ozone.
The museum's foremost know-it-all.
So, we must keep this discovery
from premature exposure to the media.
'Now remember, Lowbeam. No leaks!'
(Dr. Input) 'That thing is going to change our lives forever, Lowbeam.'
Why, our names will be household words.
No more boring trips to remote excavation sites for us.
'Our careers will soon blast off to new highs.'
whoosh
Hey! Give me a chance to hook up my seat belt, will ya'?
splat
Ooh!
(Dr. Input) 'Oh, sorry, Lowbeam.'
I'm just in a hurry to return our iceman to the museum.
Oh, it's all so over whelming.
'I hope you're prepared for instant fame and wealth.'
[loud instrumental music]
There's only thing I hate more
than teenage rock n' roll music.
boing
Teenagers who play rock n' roll music.
boing
I don't even know what kids get out of it.
Maybe it's some kind of shock therapy.
Judy, may I have a word with you?
[loud music]
Hi, dad, isn't this music a killer?
My thoughts exactly.
Listen, spare me the Lunar Rock, will you?
But that wasn't Lunar Rock.
Oh, my mistake.
This is Lunar Rock.
[loud music]
thud
Notice the difference, dad?
Not with two busted ear drums.
Oh, George, can you come here?
What's up?
Judy, I need you here too.
'I want everyone here.'
[loud music]
(Judy) 'Be right with you, mom.'
Did you recognize that music, dad?
Oh, yes, Stravinsky, I believe.
Opus in C minor.
Or was it the Strauss Lullaby?
Elroy, are you available for a family meeting?
Sure, mom. Uh, I'm just finishing
up with my transcendental levitation.
(George) Okay, Jane, the gang's all here.
What's the big gathering all about?
I have some big exciting news.
There's no school tomorrow?
You're raising my allowance?
Your mother is moving to Mars?
Oh, really, George.
Mother-in-law jokes went out in the 21st century.
Do you all remember Uncle Lunar and Aunt Tenna
from Outer Moongolia?
You mean, the loonies from the boonies?
Aren't they a little short of a full deck?
Whacko is more like it.
Oh, don't tell me they're comin' for a visit.
No, but you're close. Their son Hunky is coming.
It's his first trip to Earth.
So, we must be tolerant of his alien lifestyle.
He's just a teenager and he's family.
So, he should be treated with dignity and respect.
Well, he's not gettin' into my computer's database.
Those Moonies are loonies.
He's probably heavy into that wall-to-wall
roaring room rock music.
If he is, I'll be into heavy psychotherapy.
(Dr. Input) 'Oh ho ho!'
'I can hardly wait till when Professor Ozone'
'sees what we have brought'
'to the Spaceonian Museum collection, ha ha.'
Oh, he'll be so excited and pleased.
'I can hear him now.'
You blundering, incompetent
inept, irresponsible idiots.
B-b-but Professor Ozone.
We thought we had a rare scientific find.
Not me, I'm innocent.
I'm afraid, you have made a serious mistake, Dr. Input.
What you have done is, in effect, kidnap a citizen
from the southern frozen planet of Polaris.
'You missed the planet you were sent to explore'
'by ten light-years.'
You must return that alien immediately, if not sooner.
If the Solarians discover this
the museum's impeccable reputation will be ruined.
Uh, ye-ye-yes, I understand, sir.
We'll have the alien back
before the Solarians even know he's missing.
Ugh! Ugh!
'Ugh!'
(Dr. Input) 'Come on, Lowbeam, we're in a hurry.'
splat
splat
We could've been killed.
O-o-or even worse.
smash
I'm afraid the iceman is loose out in society, professor.
(Professor Ozone) 'Lose that iceman, Input, and you lose your job.'
Ugh! What an ignoble way to end a career.
phoof
plop
Get on with it, you incorrigible blunderers.
Small wonder we scientists go mad.
Better alert the media, Lowbeam.
We may need their help.
(Lowbeam) 'I'll keep them informed, Doctor.'
'But what happens if the ice melts'
and this ice guy turns out to be
a not so nice guy and starts a panic?
There's an old saying in scientific circles.
"Nobody knows"!
He's gone!
We lost him in the crowd of beepers over downtown.
(Lowbeam) 'When we last saw him, he was slidin' towards the Moon Mall.'
(Dr. Input) 'Right, we'll pick up his signal there.'
pew
Taxi!
To the Orbit City Health Club, and hurry.
Okay, but fast is extra, Mister.
boing
screech
With the hyper thrust, that's 50 bucks.
Hey, 50 bucks, pal. I'm not runnin' a charity, you know.
It's guys like this that throw
the entire economy into a recession.
beep beep
poing poing

(Judy) 'When is cousin Hunky coming, mom?'
(Jane) 'Any minute, Judy.'
If he doesn't get here soon, he's gonna miss a terrific
Moongolian barbecue steak dinner.
(Jane) 'Actually, I'm dying to meet young Hunky.'
'And since it's his first visit to Earth'
'we must help him adjust and fit in.'
As long as he doesn't show up with a set of drums
and a guitar and an entourage.
Well, I hope I'm not expected to fix him up
with one of my girlfriends.
Those Moongolians are weird.
And I can't have him hangin' out with my crowd either.
They're kinda straight.
Maybe he can hang out with Astro and Orbity.
They're a little offline too.
***
What's that?
Someone at the back door?
Perhaps it's your cousin Hunky. Now, now remember your manners.
'We must set a good example for cousin Hunky.'
Uh-Oh.
Hunky Moonrock, I presume?
[gibberish]
Hey, he's here everybody.
Hello, Hunky. I'm, Uncle George.
[gibberish]
Likewise I'm sure.
crash
[gibberish]
Hi, Hunky. I'm cousin Elroy.
And I'm cousin Judy, Hunky.
Wow!
[whistling]
[gibberish]
Welcome to Earth, Hunky.
I'm your Aunt Jane.
[gibberish]
We were just sitting down to dinner.
I'll get you an appetizer.
Give me five, Hunky.
woosh woosh woosh
Hey! Wow!
What a super cool handshake.
[gibberish]
Fortunately, we live above a psychiatrist
with a safety net outside his window.
I just know I'm gonna have trouble with this Hunky kid.
So, Hunky, what's happening on the Moongolian teen scene?
woosh woosh woosh
Wow!
That's a totally outer spacious high five, Hunky.
[gibberish]
[giggling]
It's Rosie's day off, but she left us some
chocolate micro-chip cookies.
Wow!
[gibberish]
You're welcome.
I just love his Moongolian accent.
[gibberish]
chomp
You must be on a special iron diet.
Ah.
burp
Sorry.
Hey, Hunky. Let's go into my room
and I'll run a few high-sci computer programs by ya.
Oh, you're the max, Hunky.
You're totally spacial.
I'd like to turn you on to some radically cosmic rock, too.
This is wonderful, George.
The kids just adore cousin Hunky.
That's because he hasn't thrown them off the balcony yet.
Oh, he's just a bit misunderstood.
That's what they said about Attila the Space Hun.
thud
(Elroy) 'Hey, uh, here's Astro. Come here boy.'
Meet our cousin Hunky, Astro. And this is our dog, Astro.
Pleased to meet you.
Yaaee!
Isn't he a total crack up, Astro?
Yeah.
Terrific.
Ooh, mom and dad.
Cousin Hunky is in a whole separate reality orbit.
I must call my girlfriends.
She oughta be callin' the psycho squad.
I have to upgrade my views on Moongolians.
Meet Orbity, Hunky. He's our resident alien.
Hello, Hunky.
But he's family.
[gibberish]
[gibberish]
slurp
Mmmm.
I'll let you two interrelate
while I go snare a solar snack.
[Orbity screaming]
[gibberish]
Woo! I'm sorry.
Really, Rocketta, you won't believe what a hunk he is.
He's adorably radical.
Ooh! Sounds like my kinda guy.
I'd love to interface with him, Judy.
Where's his head at?
Like, on a personality level.
Well, he's kind of off-the-wall.
crash
[gibberish]
Make that totally off the wall.
Got ya, catch ya later, bye.
[giggles]
This kid has a very aggressive lifestyle.
Does our insurance cover destructive nephews
from another planet?
Yes dear, but only every other leap year.
Now, calm down, George.
Relax and watch the evening news.
[muttering]
Watch other peoples' problems for a change.
Still no word yet on that missing iceman
mistakenly removed from the frozen planet Polaris
and then lost by a Spaceonian Museum research team.
You see, George, everyone has problems.
Somehow that doesn't make me feel any better.
A frozen ice block containing the man is loose in the city
and the public is being asked to help with any information
about the lost iceman.
I got enough troubles without having to look
for some ice guy from another planet.
Hey mom, dad, we're cruising up
to the Moon Mall to pick up some new wave clothes for Hunky.
Stay as long as you like, we could use a breather.
I'm outta here, bye.
[gibberish]
[giggles]
Isn't cousin Hunky a trip?
Yeah, a trip to the loony zoo.
Bye, Judy.
Later, folks.
Now, remember, George.
I know, he's family.
[gibberish]
You hungry again. Hunky?
Wow! He has the appetite of a space horse.
Yeah! And he eats only unnatural food.
Hey, there's something you'll like cousin.
(Elroy) "Polaris Snow Cones"
'They're terrific.'
[gibberish]
whoosh
Wow! He responded heavily to those snow cones.
screech
(Elroy) 'He must get a lot at home.'
Oh! He's totally into that.
A heavy metal diet.
Hope you kids come from a rich family
'cause that sign costs plenty.
Uh, we're not rich, but we have our mom's credit card.
(salesman) 'Ha ha ha ha. That's close enough.'
(man over PA) 'Scientists searching for the missing iceman'
'have narrowed the search down to the Moon Mall.'
'We'll keep you informed of further developments.'
That's him, Lowbeam, the iceman.
I would know his bleep anywhere.
We're back in the chase again.
swoosh
(Lowbeam) 'How will we know which person is the iceman, doc?'
Elementary, my dear Lowbeam.
He'll be the only one wearing a beeping beanie.
Hold that pose, Hunky.
[zapping]
Wow, Hunky, those clothes give a whole new meaning
to the words, "Far out."
Oh! Titanium ties and Jupiter jumpsuits
are the latest in intergalactic teen wear.
Come on, Hunky, let'*** it for home.
[gibberish]
There he is, Lowbeam, our missing iceman.
'We found him at last.'
Quick, quick, quick, bring the car around
while I escort our iceman back into custody.
[gibberish]
Now, just relax please, uh you're coming with us.
I-it's for your own good.
Eh, not to mention, my own well being
eh, career and mental health.
Let's get a publicity still, Lowbeam.
Say, Moon cheese.
flash
Excellent. Now, let's get moving.
[gibberish]
smash
Come on, Hunky, we're heading home.
swoosh
Follow those kids, Lowbeam.
They are in grave danger.
[gibberish]
You said it, Hunky.
Yeah, you really have a way with words.
swoosh
Oh, those kids don't realize what they are playing with.
swoosh
If he threw you through the windshield
there's no telling what he'll do next.
It is our duty to inform their parents
before this thing gets out of hand.
Besides, harboring an alien is a global offence.
Uh, good day, sir.
I'm Dr. Input of the Spaceonian Museum.
[gibberish]
Uh-oh, wrong fellow.
swoosh
crash
I don't think the car can handle much more of this abuse, Doc.
Oh, thank you for your deep concern.
(man on TV) 'We have more on that missing iceman story.'
Two members of the search team have apparently traced
the creature to the Sky Pad apartment complex.
Hey, that's getting close to home.
I hope that thing doesn't show up here.
[loud rock music]
I've had enough of this musical depreciation.
[music continues]
Oh! He's the most incredible dancer, dad.
He's beyond reality.
You'll get no argument from me on that.
[door bell ringing] Now what?
Hey, Hunky, answer the door, will you?
Couldn't you just keep the music down to a low roar
say, below a hundred decibels?
This is it, Lowbeam.
You hit him low and I'll hit him high.
[gibberish]
[gibberish]
[laughing]
He certainly has a grim sense of humor.
I'm afraid a new approach is necessary, Lowbeam.
This time, it's no more Mr. Nice Guy with Mr. Ice Guy.
Who's at the door, Hunky?
[gibberish]
Huh, kids today speak their own kinda language.
[door bell ringing]
Maybe, I should install a revolving door.
Now, the moment he steps outside that door, he's ours.
Yeah, I've heard that before.
Negativism adds nothing to the solution, Lowbeam.
Okay, what's going on, who rang the..
[zapping]
Got him!
If this is a hold up, I'm broke.
Uh-oh, ooh, there's been a mistake.
Lucky for you, I'm tied up. Or you'd be thrashed.
I'm a black belt karate expert.
Ooh, please, please forgive me.
If you'll untie me I'll give it serious consideration.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
You see, we are from the Spaceonian Museum.
woosh woosh woosh
And we mistook you for the missing iceman.
Look, I may be a cool guy, But I'm no iceman.
But I've traced the real iceman to your very door.
- 'This is a recent photo.' - That's no iceman either.
That's my weirdo nephew from Moongolia.
You don't have to take my word for it.
Just look, it's all over the news.
Your so called nephew is actually the missing iceman.
The imminent return of the lost iceman
is expected at any moment.
This is hard to believe.
Cousin Hunky, the iceman?
The iceman will, when found, be returned
'to his native planet for a reunion with his parents.'
[gibberish]
He recognizes his parents. Incredible.
And if they wake up and find him gone
it's space wars of the century.
Come on, fella, you're going home to mama und papa.
[gibberish]
swoosh
Ooh, I just love happy endings.
Especially when my career is involved.
I just can't believe it.
Hunky isn't really our relative?
Relatively speaking, no.
No more Hunky?
Mmmm mmm.
Whew.
So long, folks.
(Judy) 'Bye, Hunky.'
(Elroy) So long, boy.
Bye, Hunky.
Bye bye, Hunky.
[gibberish]
swoosh
I'm sure gonna miss those great conversations with him.
Mom, where do you suppose the real Hunky is?
(Both) The real Hunky!
[drum beat]
Okay, everybody!
Whoo! Here's Hunky!
I'm here to turn you on to the spaciest music
'since the year 2000.'
I'm beginning to miss the old Hunky already.
How long are you planning to stay, cousin Hunky?
Just until I'm king of the rocket roll music world.
♪ Rappa-Dooba heavy duty ♪
♪ Gonna rock ya to the moony ♪
♪ Rappa-Dooby Yeah ♪♪
I'll tune you onto some more radical stuff
'soon as you put away my luggage.'
'The rest of my entourage, will be in later.'
E-e-entourage?
Now, just relax, George.
And now for my next incredible number.
"Rock It to Me Lady Looney, Part 1"
Ooh! That song is a real chart buster.
I love it!
I was afraid she'd say that.
Being exposed to new music can't hurt, George.
I've been hurtin' for years.
(Hunky) 'Hit it!'
♪ She was a rad new cat from some dimension ♪
♪ And I couldn't pass on that lively cat ♪
♪ Rocket to me yeah Rock it baby yeah ♪
♪ Rocket to me yeah ♪

(George) 'Janie, would you get Aunt Tenna on the line?'
'Please?'
