Carolyn McAdams : All right, listen, um, I gotta go, um, is there anything else you want when I come back?
David : How about a Big Mac, large fries and a Coke? They're still around, I hope.
Carolyn McAdams : Well, now, that all depends, Do you want New Coke, Classic Coke, Cherry Coke, Diet Coke or caffeine-free Coke?
David : Huh?
Carolyn McAdams : Nothing, Forget it.
-
David : My dad took me to see the Bee Gees a couple months ago. Who did you see?
Carolyn McAdams : Twisted Sister.
David : Never heard of her.
Carolyn McAdams : It's a him.
David : Oh.
Carolyn McAdams : Actually, it's a them.
-
David : If I stay, those scientists will experiment on me like a guinea pig for the rest of my life.
Max : If I take you back in time, you could be vaporized. It's very risky, David.
David : Let's do it.
[Max prepares the ship]
David : Max? Will I ever see you again?
Max : [sadly; his voice returned to its normal tone] I don't know. We must start the journey. Hold on tight, Davey.
David : I'm gonna miss you.
Max : I'm gonna miss you too. Thanks.
David : No big deal. Really. Come on, let's get out of here.
Max : *Compliance*... Navigator.

Woman Officer : David, what is the date today?
David : [sighs] It's the Fourth of July.
Woman Officer : And what year?
David : [impatiently] 1978!
Detective Banks : [a beat] David... who is the President of the United States?
David : Duh. You need that for your paperwork?
Detective Banks : Mmm-hmm.
[long pause]
Detective Banks : Well?
David : It's Jimmy Carter!
David : [long, awkward pause as the Woman Officer and Detective Banks look at David, then at each other]
-
David : [to his family] I'm sorry, but I don't belong here now! I love you!
[gets back in ship and flies off]
Max : You need to be with your family, David.
David : That is my family, but that's NOT my home. MY home is back in 1978!
Max : I wish I could take you back in time, David, but it's just too risky.
David : But if I stay, those scientists will treat me like a guinea pig for the rest of my life! I have to take that chance.
-
David : [trying to find his family's new home] Can't you give me a signal in the air to go by?
Jeff Freeman, 16 Years : If I have to set the house on fire, you'll find it.
-
Max : Are we there yet? Where are we anyway?
David : Geez, I have no idea where we are. We got to get directions.
Max , David : [they hear "Trapped in My Mind" coming from a convertible on the highway] Hmm.
David : I wonder if that's that Twisted Sister stuff Carolyn was talking about.
Teen in Car : Come on.
David : [they lower the space ship beside the car at a stop sign] Hi, you wouldn't happen to know the way to Fort Lauderdale, would you?
Max : [Max sticks his 'head' out] Try to make your directions clear because we get lost easy.
Teen in Car : [freaking out] Floor it!
[they speed off]
Max : Hey! Thanks for nothing!... Were those geeks, David?
David : Yes, Max. Those were geeks.
-
David : That's it?
Max : That's it, Davy!
David : Davy?
Max : If you wanna learn how to swim, you have to jump in the water. Don't forget to feed Bruiser. Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun... Whoa! I think I got some stuff out of your head that has nothing to do with navigating this ship!
David : You sound just like a human!
Max : No! That dumb dog will never learn to catch a frisbee. You are the inferior species, you dumb dork!
David : Buttface!
Max : Scuz-bucket! Ha-ha!
-
David Scott Freeman : Where do you go next, Max?
Max : Back in time to when I picked up my creatures. By now they're so hungry, they could eat a zigzog.
David Scott Freeman : What's a zigzog?
Max : Kind of like a hippo, but with feathers.
-
David Scott Freeman : Mom... have I really been gone eight years?
Helen Freeman : Yeah.
David Scott Freeman : It's like a bad dream.

David : How come "Starsky & Hutch" isn't on?
Carolyn McAdams : That show was canceled a long time ago.
David : That was my favorite show!
[referring to the TV playing a music video]
David : And what's this stuff?
Carolyn McAdams : You've *never* seen a music video before?
David : Nah-uh. I've been gone for eight years?
Carolyn McAdams : Gone where? Outer space?
[David turns to her]
David : Could be.

Dr. Faraday : David... Where is Phaelon?
David : [sighs in annoyance] How am I supposed to know?
[the computers come up with charted galaxies]
Scientist #1 : He's searching through star charts!
[David goes bewildered seeing this, the screens change]
Scientist #2 : Sir, I think he's downloading.
David : Wait...
Scientist #1 : My God, these are uncharted systems!
Scientist #2 : Our computers don't contain this information.
[the computers then come up with an outer system as it closes in on the requested planet, Faraday peers in closely]
Dr. Faraday : David, is this Phaelon?
David : [uncomfortably] I don't know!
[the computers answer, 'Yes' much to Faraday's delight]
David : [scared, runs off] LET ME OUT OF HERE!
Dr. Faraday : Uh-- David! David?
[David runs across the hallway without stopping once]
Dr. Faraday : [to himself] 48 hours is not going to be enough time, hmm?
-
David : [returns to the house] Bruiser? Here, Bruiser!
[David runs into the door somehow locked]
David : [bangs furiously, thinking it's Jeff] Open up, you little punk! Do you hear me! I SAID OPEN UP!
[the door opens, a different woman looks at him]
David : Who are you?
Mrs. Howard : Who are you?
David : Uh... I'm David, I live here.
Mrs. Howard : [pauses then smiles] Think you have toe wrong house, dear.
David : [stops her from closing the door, worried] Where's my mom?
Mrs. Howard : [concerned] I've no idea. Oh, are you lost?
[David runs in, everything in the house is totally different]
Mrs. Howard : HEY! Where do you think you're going? Now just a minute--you made a mistake!
David : [goes very worried] Mom? Dad?
[David runs in the kitchen then upstairs as the woman tries to stop him]
David : Mom!
Mrs. Howard : LARRY!
[David runs up to what used to be his bedroom, it is now a study, David sees a man reading his newspaper]
Mr. Howard : [smiles] What's the problem, son?
[David shakes his head and runs off]
Mr. Howard : Now, calm down, son! Now, nobody's going to hurt you.
[David stops midway at the stairs between the two people]
Mr. Howard : What's your name? Where do you live?
[David goes afraid and confused]
David : [tearfully] Please... Where's my mom and dad?
Mr. Howard : Janet, call the police.
-
Max : [distantly] Navigator!
[David quickly wakes up]
Max : Are you there?
David : [whispers] Yes. I'm here.
Max : Help... me...
David : [walks to the window peering at the hangar] Help you? How?
Max : Are you coming?
Max : Yes. I'm coming.
[the door opens getting David's attention]
R.A.L.F. (Robotic Assistant Labor Facilitator) : Pardon me, coming through.
Max : Get... in... the R.A.L.F. unit.

Dr. Faraday : Okay, bring the computers up to synchronization slowly. Let's see if we can latch the data at a higher rate.
[Faraday gestures one scientist near David to ask him anything]
Scientist #1 : Well, what is your name?
[Before David could say anything, the computer gives out David's full name on the screens]
Scientist #2 : We're in synch.
David : Wait a sec! How'd that happen? I didn't say a thing!
Dr. Faraday : Next question.
Scientist #1 : David, where have you been for the last eight years?
David : [nervously] I already told you: I don't know.
[the computers give the answer, 'In Analysis Mode on Phaelon', Faraday and the others go shocked and confused]
-
David : Just take me somewhere where they can't find us.
Max : Compliance.
[the ship takes a dive down to the ocean]
Max : What are you doing! YAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
[the ship splashes into the water down to the ocean floor]
Max : I didn't say take us under the ocean; all I asked for was a place they couldn't find us!
Max : This was the first place suggested by my databanks.
Max : [goes to the window and feels for anything] Will this thing leak?
Max : Navigator, I do not leak; you leak. Remember?
-
David : Open up this door right now you little punk you hear me? open up
-
David : mom have i really ben gone for 8 years? its like a bad dream.
