[opening lines]
Major Tom:
[over radio] I can't keep it together, Dr. Venture. I'm sorry about the TVC 15.
Jonas 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]
Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture:
What's goin' on, Pop?
Jonas Venture, Sr.:
Everything's fine, son. You're havin' a nightmare. Kano! Take Rusty downstairs and get him some warm milk.
Major Tom:
[over radio] I've got a message for the Action Man.
Jonas Venture, Sr.:
He's listening, Tom. Go ahead.
Major Tom:
I'm happy. Hope you're…happy too. [Action Man tears up] I've loved all I need to love.
Jonas Venture, Sr.:
Don't talk like that, Tom. You're gonna make it. Fight it!
[Tom lets go of the controls]
Major Tom:
I'm…feeling very still. And…I think my spaceship knows which way to go. Tell my wife I love her. Very much.
Jonas Venture, Sr.:
She knows!
[Tom smiles placidly]
Jonas 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.]
Action Man:
Ashes…to ashes.
