The Venture Bros.2003

Dr. Jonas Venture:
[From a video screen] Hello, Rusty! It's your father.

Dean Venture:
It's Grandpa! He's alive!

Hank Venture:
[leans in to the screen] And trapped... In the Phantom Zone!

[Dr. Venture pulls his away from the screen]

Hank Venture:
I was just kidding. Jeez, I'm not a 'tard.

Dr. Jonas Venture:
I knew you'd find this tape. You were always such a little video buff.

Dr. Venture:
Once! I told him once I wanted to make videos. Next thing you know, every holiday, it's cameras, how-to books...

Hank Venture:
So, yeah, pop? I've been meaning to tell you: I'm not really that into neckerchiefs.

Dean Venture:
You wear them well!

Dr. Venture:
Shh! Wait. Shh! What'd he say? Go back!

[rewinds tape]

Dr. Jonas Venture:
What I have to tell you is a matter of the gravest importance, Rusty. It has to do with those mysterious deep-space radio signals. You know! The ones I received back when you were just a boy?

Dr. Jonas Venture:
[flasback sequence] What... does it mean?

Young Rusty:
[jumping around on the floor] You can't walk on the red ones 'cause they're lava!

Dr. Jonas Venture:
Shh! Rusty, please!

[flashback ends]

Dr. Jonas Venture:
Well, after ten long years, I've finally translated the broadcasts! I found something extraordinary! A message from far across time and space, addressed to me, personally! It has to do with my latest invention, the greatest of my career, or anyone's, which I completed only a week ago!

Dr. Venture:
Mmm! Cha-ching! Turn it up, I smell money!

Dr. Jonas Venture:
They warned me that mankind was still too immature to be trusted with it! They told me to dismantle it before it got into the wrong hands! But they also told me that the fate of the planet hinged upon my being activated once. That's why I've scattered the main components in secret locations across the globe! So no one...

[a loud noise is heard off screen]

Dr. Jonas Venture:
Someone's coming! They know!

[screen fades to static]

Dr. Jonas Venture:
Ha ha ha! False alarm! Okay, get a pen.
