Original subtitles

Last week, as you recall, a weird alien spaceship had landed on the planet.

As our family approached it, they were unaware that two strange pairs of eyes

were even then watching their every move.

I'll go on ahead. You cover me, Don. Do you expect danger?

Well, let's say I don't believe in taking chances.

Will, you stay back here with Dr. Smith.

I wonder what kind of horrible creature lurks inside that spaceship.

Are you cold?

Why do you ask?

Because you're shivering.

As a matter of fact, I am a bit chilled.

Shall we withdraw over the ridge?

So we'll be out of the wind.

I guess it's all right.

Come along.

What do you make of this?

They must have been little green men.

Oh, very funny.

Now, this hammock.

That looks human enough.

Now, what's this?

A .P.

Tucker.

Now, who could A .P. Tucker be?

And what would he be doing on a ship like this?

John, the door!

If you're warm enough, we'd better get back now, Dr. Smith.

In a moment, dear boy.

One is hardly one's best fighting trim, which she'll blame.

In a trice, I shall be ready to fight my weight in tigers.

Oh, dear.

Now then, observe closely, dear boy.

Hands, feet, brain all working together in the closest cooperation.

Lead with the left, cross with the right.

Dance away.

Jab. Jab.

Now for the finale.

A left hook.

A stiff uppercut.

That is you, isn't it, Will?

Answer me, my dear boy.

That is you, isn't it?

Thank you.

You wouldn't shoot old Tucker with that there thing, would you?

What happened to him?

Well, danged if I know.

He took one look at me, he yelled and right up and fainted.

Delicate kind of a carcini.

Stay back.

Oh, now.

You don't think old Tucker is going to hurt you, do you? You ask anyone about

Alonzo P. Tucker, they'll tell you he ain't got a shred of harm in him.

Where do you come from?

Why, over there.

You were in that alien ship, weren't you?

Well, now, I never said I wasn't.

Ah, you didn't expect that, did you?

No, you don't, baby. Now you come on down here.

Come down here and let's see what we got a hold of here.

Scrubby boy.

Talks like a scrubby boy.

Acts like a scrubby boy. But I'll bet you ain't a scrubby boy.

You bet I'm not.

What is it, Nick?

Appearances to the mind are of four kinds.

Things are either what they appear to be, or they neither are or do not appear

to be, or they are not.

And yet, appear to be. Shut up, you blasted tin parrot.

merely quoting Epictetus on the nature of things.

Come back here where you belong.

No violence?

Have your own way.

Ah, you blasted Espar. Ask a simple question, Anna.

How did he do that?

He's an Espar. That's how.

They can do things like that. How do you suppose I got your gun away from you?

He got it? He got it.

How about it? Is it a boy?

Can a sober sapien split a marriage in the planet Earth in a system of salt?

Human, huh?

What'd you think I was?

Sonny, I've been to a lot of places where things ain't at all what they

to be.

Human, huh?

You got a name, boy?

I'm Will Robinson.

And this one here?

Dr. Zachary Smith.

How do you do?

Why? Hey, you no -good, yeller -bellied, pretending all the time.

Get on your feet, you lobberly swab.

Me? Are you referring to me?

Now there, I'm losing my patience with you, Zack.

Zack?

Indeed. And I thought you'd been hurt or something.

I merely feigned unconsciousness, my boy, awaiting an opportunity to... Never

mind. I'll explain later.

Well, you better start explaining, Zack.

where I'm at.

Don't you know?

You blast your eyes.

I knew what I'd be asking you.

In one shake of a lamb's tail, you're gonna be a lot of loose molecules flying

about in formation if you don't give me the answer.

Where am I at?

I don't know, sir.

That does it.

No, he's right.

He doesn't know where we are. None of us do.

You don't know what planet this is.

That's right. We headed for Alpha Centauri and we went out of control. We

crashed here.

Well, now.

I'll be damned.

You got a colony here?

Oh, no, sir.

There is only a small party of us present on this planet.

Well, let's go find the rest of you.

My dad and Major West are back at your ship.

They're going to be safe there for a while.

Go on.

Yes, sir.

Dear folks, all right, you go down there and tell them I have this fella here.

If they do as I want, nothing will happen.

Tell them I want food and blankets, and if there are any cigars and cheese, you

got that,

then shove off me, boss. If I may make a suggestion, sir, I really should tell

you I'm not very popular with these people.

I mean to say that as a hostage, I should prove most inadequate.

Any ideas?

Of course.

Oh, now, you are a rascal.

Boy, you stay here.

Dr. Smith will go down in your stead.

I'm sorry, my boy, but believe me, it'll turn out better in the end.

They'll be along directly.

Excuse me, madam. I have urgent business with a robot. Excuse me, dear.

Now listen carefully.

There's a very dangerous man on the hill with a boy.

He's going to kill all of us unless you kill him first.

The prime directive forbids taking human life.

The directive is cancelled.

Now get on with it.

Then I will follow your orders.

Boy, you take a look and see if that there Smith fella is on his way back

Walk and wash, boiler. We'd better run, Mr. Tucker. Run, is it?

The robot's power back.

Did he?

Aye, he did.

And now let's go down there and settle someone's hash.

There must be some control that operates the hatch.

Yeah. But which one?

Try them all.

Sure. And blow us up with the ship?

You got any better ideas?

Go ahead.

All right, here you go.

Let's get out of here.

Are you really a pirate, Mr. Tucker?

Why did you become a pirate?

What's wrong with being a pirate?

What's wrong, that's all.

Well, now, that depends on what kind of a pirate.

Is there more than one kind?

Of course there are.

What kind of pirate are you?

Well, I'm an honest pirate.

An honest pirate? Why, ain't you ever heard of honest pirates?

They're kind of like Robin Hood.

You heard tell about Robin Hood. You mean they rob from the rich and they

to the poor?

Of course we do.

Have you given a lot to the poor, Mr. Tucker?

Oh, well, now, sort of like this.

I've been looking for a fellow who's poor.

I mean, real downright.

Dirt poor.

When I find this downright dirt poor feller, I am going to make him happy

my treasure.

You mean you've got a treasure?

Well, now, of course I've got a treasure.

Every self -respecting pirate's got a treasure. And mine's as big as any of

them. Boy, I wish I could be a pirate. I mean an honest one like you.

You work at it, my boy. One of these days, you will be.

How are them beans coming along?

Oh, John, I'm so glad you're here. What's the matter? Quill's gone. That

terrible man took him hostage.

I did everything I could to dismay him. I even offered myself in the brave

little fellow's place, but the rogue would have none of me.

What are you talking about? Who took Will?

Tucker, the pirate.

Surely you've heard of him.

There, now.

I ain't had a bean like that since I left Punxsutawney, P .A.

Guess we'd better turn in.

I'm going to have to tie you up, I'm afraid.

Tie me up? Well, you're my prisoner, ain't you?

How am I going to get a good night's sleep with a prisoner running around

Even if I promise I won't run away?

Promises.

Unless... No, no.

No, you wouldn't want to do that there.

Even if it meant that you wouldn't have to be tied up all night with maybe a

loss of circulation and cramps and sickness and such.

Wouldn't want to do what?

Take the pirate's oath.

No, no, I wouldn't ask you to do that, nice boy like you. I bet you go to

Sunday school and things like that back where you came from.

No, I wouldn't dare ask you to do anything so awful and so blood -curdling

terrible as take... a pirate's oath.

Well, maybe you could just give me a little one. I mean a sort of temporary

so you wouldn't have to worry about me.

Well, now there.

I ain't never heard of a little tiny pirate's oath, but maybe I can cook up

something now. Of course, it'll have to be in blood.

Can't get around that.

I guess I won't mind.

Well, now, have you got a pen or something?

Is this all right? Now,

By rights, it ought to be a cutlass or a dagger, but, well, this will have to

do. Give me your right thumb.

There.

There.

Now, put your thumb against mine.

There. Now, then, you say after me, I swear.

I swear.

By this here blood.

By this here blood.

And all the moldering bones of every pirate ever took this oath.

And by the moldering bones of every pirate that ever took this oath.

That I will be true and faithful to the articles.

That I will be true and faithful to the articles.

And if I ever break this oath.

And if I ever break this oath.

I hope I... I fall down dead in my tracks and rot.

I hope... I fall down dead in my tracks and rot.

So help me.

So help me.

Good boy.

Now we both can get a good night's sleep.

Take yourself a warm spot by the ashes there.

Captain Tucker.

Aye, my boy.

It's all right for pirates to say their prayers, isn't it?

Well, now.

I wouldn't have a shipmate that didn't say his prayers.

Tucker do pirates have to wash behind their ears and take lessons and mind

older sisters No, no, of course they don't

You

keep a

weather eye out

What's wrong, Captain?

Don't say a word.

Don't move.

Ain't no shit.

Down behind that boulder.

What is it, Captain?

We got a scuttle at their thing, matey.

First tell me what it is.

Why, it's the eyes and nose of our particular enemy that has tracked me

across space.

What does it want?

My treasure, boy.

There's pirates in this universe that ain't as honest as I am.

Rogues and cutthroats is what they are. They'll cut your throat in a minute.

That's what they are.

And this one here, he's the worst.

What do you want me to do, Captain?

Move and approach it.

Move out and go quietly and it won't hurt you, boy.

Ship's disciplined, follow your orders.

Yes, sir.

You all right, me bucko?

What happened, Captain?

We met the enemy broadside to broadside, and we beat them fair and square.

Now you have to remember, that was only the first engagement. We have to walk

careful from now on.

Yes, sir.

We don't want to worry any of the other folk.

I mean, we shouldn't, right?

We'll smile.

Are we worried?

Course not.

Repeat after me. Are we worried? Of course not. Are we worried? Of course

There, a brave front and a cheerful smile. And off we go. You back to the

and me to negotiate with your folks.

Shut up, you blasted bird.

Thank you, Amoeba Co.

Now, we'll work all quadrants using the Sherpas and Apex.

They couldn't have gone too far.

Smith, are you ready? In a moment.

Ah, here we are.

There, my metallic friend.

You're now quite ready and able to take up the search for our missing comrade.

At your service, mon commandant.

This will be your search area.

Aye, yes, right there. But surely you know that I plan to devote all my

to the protection of the ladies.

The robot will share in the search. He's quite accomplished, I assure you.

Oh, Dr. Smith.

Not another word, dear lady. Don't thank me. It's embarrassing.

You are a coward.

Madam, are you implying that I'm afraid to go on this search?

Are you suggesting that I would refuse to lay down my life for the sake of that

dear little lad so unfortunately missing from our midst?

Oh, my dear madam.

Don't you dare, madam, me.

In this matter, I have a heart of steel.

A veritable heart of... Oh, oh, there he is again.

Oh!

Fella really ought to do something about his nerves.

Name is Tucker.

Ah, easy now.

There's what I like to see.

A fella what uses his mind instead of his fists. Kind of a man a fella can

bargain with.

Where is our son?

Where's Will?

Hot,

ain't it?

That's a fine nipper you got there.

Fine boy.

Bill and me has got to be great friends.

Is he all right?

Well, of course. You don't think old Captain Tucker would do anything to harm

the little nipper, would you?

Of course, if anything happened to me and I can't get back to the boy...

Him tied up and all the way he is. Now, you can't blame me for that, can you?

Never mind, Don.

Right now, he's got all the cards.

What do you want?

Fix my ship so I can leave this blasted planet.

We don't know anything about your ship.

You have an alien drive.

Well, you just come up with the parts and I'll show you where they go.

What about my son?

Gets turned loose just as soon as I'm ready to blast off.

All right.

How much time do I have?

Well,

now, Skipper, take all the time you want.

Take an hour.

How do I get in touch with you?

Why, uh... Send that there fella there with a white flag up on that hill.

Won't one of us do instead of him?

Oh, no. No, sirree.

You fellas are liable to start feeling brave.

But old Zack here, a man can count on him being a coward.

I'll be waiting to hear from you.

I'll be seeing you, Zack.

Never saw a man with such terrible nerves.

He really ought to do something about them.

Well? Oh, John.

We haven't much choice, have we?

We'd better revive Smith. I think we're going to need him.

Aye, there was a planet we was on once called Valaran.

Got people on there almost as human as you and I. Except for one thing.

Instead of being born...

They was hatched from eggs.

Pretty place.

Well, pretty place.

Hated leaving it.

Why did you leave?

Well, the pirating business there was kind of slowing them there apart.

They're not being much worth the trouble of pirating them being so poor.

You could have given them some of your treasure.

Well, now, they weren't that poor.

Will you ever show me the treasure?

For sure I will.

We're shipmates, matey. Besides, you did take the pirate, so of course I'll show

you my treasure.

Yeah, one of these days.

What's it like when you take a treasure ship, Captain Tucker?

Ah, now, there's a sight for you. You go tearing in there with your blaster,

blasting away and carrying on until the enemy gives up and they throw down their

arms. And then you make them walk the plank out the spaceport.

What else, you boy?

I guess I'm not fit to be a pirate.

I don't think I could ever kill anybody or even make them walk the plank.

Oh.

Even if they wasn't what you would call human?

I wish I could say yes. I really do, but I don't think I could ever get used to

killing anything.

You got a problem there, boy.

I'll tell you what.

Next time we go out on a pirate voyage, we won't kill no one.

We won't? No.

Why, we'll just lay alongside and we'll disable their drive. Then we'll board

them and loot them of all their jewels and their rare objet dogs and such.

And then we'll leave them with just enough gear to make the necessary

That way nobody will get hurt. That's great.

I wish we could start tomorrow.

Hello?

Is anybody anywhere?

That's Dr. Smith.

You stay here and guard the place.

I'll go see what he wants. Hello?

Is anybody there?

Over here, Jack.

Now, now, don't you start flopping again. I ain't gonna hurt you.

Would you mind?

Oh, thank you.

I am...

allergic to weapons pointing at me.

Now then, we have decided to accept your terms with certain conditions.

What conditions?

That you and the boy return to the Jupiter II and make your headquarters

while your ship is being repaired.

Professor Robinson gives his word that he will carry out the terms of the

agreement and you will not be molested.

He gives his word, eh?

Would you take it if you were me?

Certainly not. Well, now.

That there is good enough for me. You go back there and tell him it's a bargain.

But I don't understand.

I advise you to do the... I figure a fellow can't go wrong if he listens to

advice and does exactly the opposite.

Now you go on back there before you get one of your fainting spells again.

Captain.

I heard what you said to Dr.

Smith. Does that mean we won't be going pirating after all? Of course it don't.

You and me is going pirating just as soon as that ship of mine is fixed. And

don't you forget that, matey. And it ain't gonna take long.

Coffee, dear? Oh, thank you.

Yes, ma 'am.

Company is coming.

Oh, Will.

worried about you.

Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.

John, Dr. Smith, I need you. I know, Will.

No, where are you going? Sit here, Captain.

Why? Well, did you see that?

Why, he couldn't care less about being home.

Oh, now, take it easy, Maureen. Take it easy?

Look, that's not our son.

That's not Will. That's a complete stranger.

Help yourself, Captain.

Mom's a pretty good cook.

Pretty good?

Well, it won't compare to what you've had on the planet Valaran, but it's

filling.

Thank you, Amigo.

Tell me something, Captain Tucker.

How long have you been in space?

Well, now, let's see.

Well, what year is this, anyway?

It is 1998.

Nineteen and ninety -eight.

Let's see. Take the four, six, and put it over to the one there.

There must be more than a hundred years.

What?

What's that again?

I say I've been in space more than a hundred years.

Let's see.

It was a year Custer got massacred by them engines.

Well, that would be 1876.

Aye, aye,

aye. That's about it.

Uh -huh.

That's just about right.

You see, I was crossing the Buffalo, Rochester, and Pittsburgh railroad

in Punxsutawney, PA, when all of a sudden... Captain Tucker, surely you're

that the first spaceship did not leave Earth until late in the 1950s.

Blast you! Are you calling me a liar, Zack?

No, no. It's the farthest thing from my mind. I merely wanted to present the

facts. Well, I never did say I left Earth in an Earth ship, now did I?

Well... You mean you were picked up by aliens?

Aye.

Tellurians. Fine bunch of people when you get to know them.

And I suppose they picked you up in a flying saucer?

Aye. They did.

They scooped me up with a force ray.

Cruised around, picking up folks all over.

They wanted them for study, you see.

According to that, you'd be more than 140 years old.

Aye. Born in 1858.

Well, you're a very well -preserved 140, Captain Tucker.

May I congratulate you? Oh, it's no credit to me, Professor.

You see, they kept us in a time freezer all the time.

Hauled us out when they wanted to make a study.

Well,

that's enough of my yarning.

Let's start seeing about getting my ship in order.

I've never seen a drive like this.

What's the principle of it? Well, I wouldn't know that. I just push buttons

make her go.

Well, now, of course, I can make simple repairs, but that's about all.

Well, what happens after you push the buttons?

When I push buttons?

Why, then, she begins a -shakin' and a -quiverin'. And I begin shakin' and a

-quiverin'. Inside, I eat like I ate too many green apples.

And then all of a sudden she goes zoom and the stars go out.

They come back on when I get where I'm going.

A starship.

Hyperspace drive.

Faster than light.

Much of speed in parsecs. Now, you just hold on, because I don't know what's on

your mind, but we've got a bargain, remember?

With this ship, we could get back to Earth in seconds.

It ain't big enough.

We could shuttle back and forth.

The best brains on Earth could dismantle it and find the secret of its drive.

We'd have starships that could reach the furthest regions of the galaxy.

The universe!

How about it, Tucker?

Well, now... I'm just gonna have to think about that.

What's there to think about? We can take this ship.

Then what?

We don't know how to run this thing.

No, I'm afraid we're going to have to leave it up to Tucker.

All right, Smith.

How long have you been standing there?

I only just arrived.

Excuse me.

Captain.

Captain Tucker.

Now, what is it you want, Zack?

I thought we might walk together.

Perhaps exchange points of view to our mutual benefits.

And what's the meaning of those words?

I could make you a very rich man back on Earth, sir.

Well, now, we ain't back there on Earth. But you have the means of getting us

there.

Good heavens.

What's wrong with that creature?

Captain Tucker, what's the matter?

Run. Run, you bastard.

Run. Captain Tucker, what's the matter?

I'm only telling you what I saw.

An enormous alien spaceship which seemed to terrify our pirate captain half out

of his wits.

You were right here. I didn't see it.

Well, where is Tucker?

Running for the hills.

We'd better get back to the Jupiter, too.

If there is an alien threat, we'd better set up defenses.

All right.

Oh, where's Will?

Tucker, is that you?

Boy. Captain Tucker. Shh.

You want to scrubber us both? Get in here.

Shh.

No. I don't think nothing followed you here.

What are you doing out here anyway?

I came to find you. I was worried about you.

Worried?

You mean to say you were afraid something might have happened to me?

Something bad?

Well,

why would you worry about me?

Because I like you.

Besides, I took the pirate's oath, didn't I?

Oh, that's right. I did forget that.

You mean to say you came right out here in the dark alone on account of me?

Yes, sir. I said so, didn't I?

You take your first rest, and I'll take the first watch.

Do as I tell you.

Maybe we'll get out of this here.

What are we hiding from, Captain Tucker? Well, I guess you'd call it a thing.

It's from Signet 4.

What kind of thing?

It's just too awful to describe.

Why don't you just blast it with your nucleonic planet buster?

Oh. Oh, yes, of course.

Yes, of course.

By nucleonic planet Buster.

Right, that's right.

Maybe I will.

Yeah, sure. If that thing tries to come in here, I'll let him have it with this.

was close enough.

Jux, that ain't no planet buster, nucleonic, or any other kind.

Well, what is it then?

Hanged if I know.

You mean you don't even know what it is? I said so, didn't I?

I picked it up on Sydney 4 along with a great deal of trouble.

It was a pretty piece, and when... What?

Never mind, never mind.

I'm going to get you back with your folks.

and I told you I'd done nothing.

What were you doing on Signet 4?

I was there on business.

What kind of business?

Now, you are the nosiest people I have ever seen.

Now, look, Tucker, I'm just trying to help you.

Now, what did you do on Signet 4 that got this pursuit started?

I don't know, and that's the truth.

I just started thinking about Captain Tucker, and it went on.

Say it again, son.

I want to think about your mother and me.

All right, try thinking about Don.

Please, dear boy, try thinking about me.

You're trying to steal my ship. All right, Smith.

Ladies and gentlemen, please be calm. The evidence is purely circumstantial.

Done. Check Smith's room.

I think I know what this means.

It's some kind of forecaster.

And it shows the future of anyone the operator thinks about.

Darling, that's witchcraft.

No, it isn't.

It's science carried to fantastic extremes.

The science of possibilities.

Somehow this thing computes the results of plans in people's minds.

Well, I don't know about you, but I had plans for tomorrow.

That thing didn't show anything.

I know.

I found this hidden under the locker in Smith's room.

You had no right, Major.

I appeal to your sense of justice, sir.

Surely even here I am protected by the Magna Carta as well as the Constitution,

which agrees that a man's home is his castle and shall not be intruded upon.

Shut your mouth, Zack. You are trying to steal my ship. No, I only intended to

go back to Earth for help. Sure you were.

Warning! Warning!

Situation dangerous.

Red alert!

Red alert!

Captain Tucker!

I understand now why there was only darkness when Will thought of us.

This is the end tonight, here.

Right now, there won't be any tomorrows.

Not yet.

We've still got the robot.

Tell him to go out there and try to stop that thing.

It's no use. We're all doomed.

Do it!

Come here!

What can you do about it? Can you stop it?

In order of questions asked, one, it does not compute.

Two, I can perform any function of an environmental control nature as well

I know that. Get to the point.

Three, since alien life form does not compute, this question can only be

answered by trial and error method.

Well, don't just stand there. Go out and try.

It's coming through the force field.

I've got to go out there.

You're out of your mind.

That thing wants only one person in here, me.

Let it try to get me. I'll give it a run for its money.

You'll be committing suicide.

Then try to stop me!

It's going away.

Yes.

It got what it came after.

It only wanted the forecaster.

Well, then there will be tomorrows for all of us.

Goodbye, ma 'am. I hope I ain't been too much trouble.

Oh, thank you, Captain Tucker.

Bye,

Professor. Captain?

Gone. Miss Tucker?

Thank you for fixing my ship.

We wish we could go with you. Oh, no. Just a little too small, I'm afraid.

Won't accommodate you all.

If I run across anyone out there in space, I'll try to send some help back.

Well, there.

So long, Meany.

I don't want you to go, Captain.

Oh, well.

Now, that's awful nice of you.

But, well, old Captain Tucker, he's got to be moving along before he wears out

his welcome.

Well, then I want to go with you. And we'll be pirates like we talked about.

You didn't believe that there about me being a pirate and things, did you?

Shucks. I ain't no pirate.

Why, back there in Punxsutawney, P .A., where I used to live before I was picked

up by them Tellurians and taken up into space, they just thought of me as...

It's a town nuisance.

That's all.

I was just a plain old town nuisance.

Well, what about the treasure and everything?

Treasure? Why?

There ain't no treasure. Never was in it another sort.

Listen, do you want to know the truth?

I was nothing more than a petty thief all my life. That's all I was.

That's the truth.

Now you just stop your blubbering and go about your business and don't you be

bothering me.

Well, I just thought I had to do that for the boy.

We understand.

Thank you.

So long, everyone.

Bye, Captain. Goodbye.

Will you get off your back, Smith, and give us a hand?

Very well.

Come on, hurry it up. You know I have a delicate back, Major.

Well,

I hope you had a good breakfast. It's going to be a long, hard day.

Don't worry about me getting hungry, Dad.

All I think about when we're drilling for detronium is we get enough fuel for

Waste not, want not.
