I'll see you later, Ellie.
:08:06
I gotta get home right away.
Take over, will ya, Ned? Check.

:08:34
Oww, Suzie!
:08:54
Oh, Royal! Oh, Royal, your father
has really done it this time.

:08:59
What'd he do?
Roy, sit down.

:09:01
You better brace yourself.
What? What is it?

:09:04
You remember when your father sent
that application into the government?

:09:08
You mean the one for me
to be an astronaut?

:09:11
We don't have to worry
about that.

:09:13
We have to worry about it now,
Roy, because they have accepted you.

:09:18
What?
It says so right there.

:09:20
It says that they have
accepted you as a WB-1074.

:09:24
Your father took one look at
that and then he ran outdoors...

:09:27
and he's telling everybody
in town about it.

:09:31
An astronaut?
:09:34
Me? An astronaut? I can't even get
up on the chair to get the marmalade.

:09:39
- Oh, my poor boy.
- Why is Pa always tryin' to run my life?

:09:43
Well, after all, he was a corporal in World
War I and you know how bossy they were.

:09:48
But, Ma, that war's
been over for ages.

:09:50
Not to your father. He loves that
war as much today as he did then.

:09:54
An astronaut?
:09:56
Me? An astronaut?
:09:59
Oh, I should've studied up more on fear
of heights and things when you were young.
