Last week, as you recall, Will and Dr.
Smith went to sleep outside the Jupiter

II, hoping an elaborate alarm system
they had set up would entrap a

invader that lurked somewhere out in the
shadows.

Dr. Smith!

Dr. Smith, wake up! There's something
coming into the campsite!

Call me when breakfast is ready!

Dr.

Smith, hurry up! He'll get away!

What? What?

Where?

I don't see anything.

The lights said to turn on 25 seconds
after the alarm.

Look, look.

There it is.

I think.

Where are those blasted lights?

I can get a good shot at it now.

No, don't!

What? What?

He's there. He's there.

Hey, boy!

Take it easy, son.

We won't hurt you. Hey, boy!

Careful, careful.

We're dealing with a savage.

We're willing to be friendly if you are.

How about it? Keep away.

My name is John Robinson.

I'm from a planet called Earth.

This is... I do not care who you are.

You're enemies.

No, we're not.

Unless you insist on it.

Now, why don't you put that spirit away
and we can talk?

Agreed.

But if you plan treachery, take warning,
I will kill.

And he means it, too.

I was very nearly run through by his
spear.

I'm Will Robinson.

I am called Quanto.

I am 12 years old.

I am very brave and strong.

Would you like to fight and see who's
the better man?

Fight?

I'd rather be your friend.

You are afraid of me.

You are a coward.

You'd better watch who you're calling
names, because if you're looking for a

fight... Now, you take it easy, Will.

How did you learn our language?

From my father.

He knows many languages.

How long have you been here?

I do not speak to weak and worthless
girls.

Why, you conceited, dirty -faced little
boy.

You're nothing but a bully, a half -pint
bully.

Luckily, you are a female.

Or I would make you sorry for what you
have said.

Hostile, little ruffian.

Some discipline applied to the seat of
your trousers is exactly what you need.

A hot bath and some good food is more to
the point.

Would you like something to eat? I am
not hungry.

I will go now.

You're welcome to spend the night here
if you want.

I have a sleeping bag you can use.

I want nothing from any of you.

Well, primitive little brute.

Thank goodness he didn't stay. He would
have murdered all of us in our beds.

Quantum and happy as uncivilized as you
think, Doctor.

Did you notice what he was wearing
around his neck?

It looked like an ornament of some kind.

It was an extremely advanced
communication system.

Probably powerful enough to send and
receive signals from another planet.

I wonder what he was doing here.

Judging from his attitude, I would say
that he was definitely up to no good.

Now, I suggest that we make sure the
spaceship is well secured before we

for the night.

I think he's right, Mother.

Come on, Penny.

Dr. Smith, there's no reason to alarm
the children.

Now, surely you're not worried about a
12 -year -old boy.

My dear madam.

When you're dealing with a dangerous
creature, age is of no consequence.

A one -year -old viper is just as
formidable as a twelve -year -old viper.

now, if you'll excuse me, I shall say
goodnight and retire to my quarters,

I shall certainly bolt my door.

It's time for another meeting.

Thank you, darling.

Well, a boy his age has no business
wandering around in the wilderness at

I should have insisted that he stay
here.

Well, maybe you'll get another chance to
ask him.

Cuano is here.

Where? I don't see him.

He's been hiding behind those rocks over
there for the last 30 minutes.

Oh, shame on you, John Robinson, letting
that boy stand there and watch us eat.

Now, why didn't you invite him to join
us? Well, darling, you don't ask that

young man to do anything.

He has to make the first move.

Well, if he won't, I will.

I know you're hiding back there, so you
might just as well come out.

Won't you come to the table? Come on,
I'd like to fix you some breakfast.

I have eaten.

Are you sure?

My word is not to be questioned.

If I say it, then it is so.

Good morning, Kwano.

Greetings.

What, may I ask, are you staring at?

I was wondering if you are a typical
specimen of the Earth people.

Typical? Aye, certainly not.

I have a great deal more intelligence.

Then you earthlings indeed are a sorry
lot.

Weak and full of vanity.

Now there's the best description of
Smith I've ever heard.

Indeed.

I don't know how they raise children on
your planet, but on ours we teach them

respect and good manners.

Except for my father, I'm answerable to
no one.

And what about your mother?

Doesn't she have a say in your
upbringing?

She always bows to the wishes of my
father.

Well, that sounds like a marvelous
setup.

Is your father with you? No.

He is the ruler.

He is too busy.

What does that mean, Cuerno? He's the
ruler? In your world, there are

presidents, kings and dictators.

In mine, there is only one.

The ruler.

Are you telling us that your father is
the leader of your planet?

My command will be law.

Well, what do you know? We're
entertaining royalty.

Royal.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Why didn't you tell us who you were?

Please, sir, won't you sit down?

Is there anything I can... Is there
anything I can do for you?

At the moment, I am in need of nothing.

Well, if you do require anything, Your
Highness, please ask me for it.

Looks like Guano has added another
abject subject to his kingdom.

Here are the vegetables you wanted, ma
'am.

Oh.

You do the work of women.

You should be ashamed.

Thank you, dear.

If no one else needs me, I'm going
hunting for rock specimens.

I, too, am going hunting.

Shall we go together?

Sure, why not?

I'm coming along, too.

You will stay.

You were not asked.

Let us go.

I won't be gone long.

Oh, by that horrid little boy.

I don't think Quan would mind being
called horrid, but I think he'd object

generously to being called a little boy.

Ah!

I, of course, am quite familiar with
royalty, but that dreadful little prince

will bear watching.

However, have no fear.

Smith is here.

from this formation.

You have already collected a bag full of
useless rocks.

They're not useless to me.

Truly sorry for you.

Wasting your time in idle pursuits.

It is unmanly. Now let's not start that
again.

But it is true.

You are my age, and still you act like a
small boy.

Well, what do you expect me to do? Go
around sticking my chest out, telling

everybody what a tough guy I am?

You should build up your strength.

Test your courage.

I'll take brain over brawn any day.

You do not understand.

You've been badly raised by your father.
Don't do that, and I haven't been badly

raised. Would you like to know what I'm
doing on this planet?

I am being tested by my father.

Tested for what?

For strength and courage.

I must prove that I am worthy of being
the ruler someday.

For a whole week I have slept out in the
open, lived on anything I could find.

Hey, that's really great.

It wasn't so much.

The real test is coming.

Then my bravery shall really be proven.

Forget about these old rocks. Hey!

Come.

I will show you what I'm going to do.

There's the cave.

This is your weapon.

We shall go inside.

Okay. So what are we going to find in
there?

You will see.

Why are you waiting? Come on.

Not until you tell me what's in there.

You are afraid.

I'm not. I'd just like to know what I'm
getting into.

Suspected from the first that you are a
coward.

Go back where you belong, little earth
boy. Back to your rocks and vegetables.

Wait.

I'm going with you.

Come on, then.

What do you want to think about it some
more?

Well, okay.

So we're in the cave. Now what?

We prove our courage in the face of
danger.

Are you sure you know what you're doing?

There is still time to leave if you
wish.

If you stay, I stay.

It's coming.

Perhaps we should test our courage
another time.

I know something that's a good idea.

One of us can make it. I said go!

Water!

Water!

Water!

Goodbye.

And I am free to say what a fool you
are.

What possessed you to confront such a
formidable beast, armed with such a

primitive weapon?

I wish to prove my courage to the Earth
Boy. Instead, you've proved your

stupidity.

I'm exceedingly sorry, Father.

You did well, Earth Boy.

Thank you, sir.

You showed great courage.

The truth is, I was too scared to run.

Even the bravest man experiences fear.

You will grow well, big and strong.

It will not do him any good. He allows
himself to do the work of women.

He does not truly have courage.

He was trapped by the animal. Even the
most timid creature will fight if there

is no escape.

That's not true. I'm as brave as you
are. You are weak and soft, like all

of your planet.

Maybe you'd like to find out how weak
and soft I am. Nothing would please me

more. Enough.

If you have differences, they will be
settled later.

Return to your family. They will be
concerned.

You're welcome to come to our campsite,
sir. Perhaps later.

Goodbye, sir.

I only came here because I remember that
you killed such a beast when you were

my age.

All right. You are forgiven.

You have misjudged the Earthboy, Father.
I am far superior to him in all ways.

Do not be so sure.

He might prove a very worthy opponent.

Then I shall challenge him.

You will see for yourself who is the
better man.

Ah, how are we coming along?

Task will be completed at 1400 hours.

Splendid. What other work do I have on
my schedule for today?

Correction. In reference to work, you
should have referred to me instead of

yourself. Should I indeed?

If you have a complaint to register, I
refer you to the complaint department.

It does not compute.

Never mind.

What else do we have to do?

We? Yes, we.

Are you laughing at me, you bubble
-headed booby?

You heard only my computer is being
cleared.

I do not laugh.

That's what you say.

Now get on with our work.

Yes, our work.

One of these days you'll go too far, you
cackling computer.

Your Highness.

How good to see you again.

And you, sir, must be the proud father
of this bright young man.

Oh, Your Majesty.

May I introduce myself? I am Dr.

Zachary Smith.

For a man, your grip is weak.

You should exercise.

There is fat around your middle.

I... I am a bit out of condition. You
see, I haven't been well.

I have a very delicate back.

Exercise is a good cure for many ills.

Oh, not for me it isn't.

The truth is, Your Majesty, it's this
planet. I have simply never been able to

acclimatize myself to it. Now, if only I
could go back to my own world. Another

time, Dr. Smith.

I wish to talk to the father of the boy
they call Will.

Oh, yes.

Professor Robinson, he's about
somewhere.

Now, what will we be discussing?

Oh, yes. How much I'd like to return to
the planet Earth. Oh, Your Majesty, I

hate to ask a favor on such short
acquaintance, but... Is something wrong,

You're chattering great on my nerves.

My father likes men who are strong and
silent.

It would seem that Dr.

Smith has none of these admirable
qualities.

Let us find Professor Robinson.

Yes, Your Majesty.

This way, please.

This way.

This way, Your Majesty, Your Highness.

Now then, if you don't mind, would you
wait right here for one moment,

gentlemen?

Professor Robinson!

Professor Robinson!

There is someone here who wishes to see
you.

Maureen.

I think you and Don better come up here.

I don't suppose you know very much about
the planet Earth, Your Majesty.

Oh, it's a delightful place. Why, even a
simple thing like breathing in the air

makes one glow with good health and
strength.

My father does not wish to speak to you
now.

Oh.

I am known as the ruler.

I welcome this meeting.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Good. We know each other better now.

Is there anything we can do for you? A
strong handshake?

A direct question.

I like that.

Are you here to take Quanah back to your
planet?

Soon. He has acquitted himself well
here.

I have met your son. He too has much in
his favor.

But I can beat him.

When you prove your superiority, you may
brag and not before.

In his eagerness for the challenge, my
son speaks rashly.

What sort of a challenge?

This does not concern you, woman. It is
a matter for men to decide.

Well, I don't know about your world, but
in ours, women are treated as the

equals of men.

What a foolish arrangement.

Well, I don't see anything foolish about
it.

Women the equal of men?

In what way?

Are they stronger than men? Do they have
more intelligence?

Do they make laws or fight wars?

This will be an excellent story for me
to tell when I return home.

I can hear the boys at the club laughing
already.

My son wishes to meet yours in a series
of contests.

A meeting in which they pit their skills
and strength against one another.

Now, there is nothing to worry about.
There will be no physical danger.

What is the nature of these contests?

We use these tests on my planet to
determine who is the master and who is a

slave. No, I won't permit it.

Your opinion is not required.

Well, I don't care.

Will doesn't have to prove himself to
anybody.

Maureen.

Was this your idea?

No, my son's, but I heartily approve.

It's fine for the winner, Your Majesty.

But it might be drastic for the loser
and his parents.

I am not interested in anyone's opinion
other than Mr. Robinson.

It is he who will decide.

The answer is no.

You have good reasons.

As my wife just said, Will doesn't have
to prove himself to anyone.

When the situation arises, he'll know
what to do. Like father, like son.

Both are cowards.

You take that back!

Will!

Now what do you say, Mr. Robinson?

I'd say that your son's challenge has
been accepted.

John, I still don't see why you can't
call this whole thing off.

Now, what possible excuse can I give?
Oh, well, it's very simple. Just tell

that you've changed your mind.

What about Will?

Oh, he'd be disappointed, but he'd get
over it.

Yes, I suppose so.

Oh, good.

And it's all settled, and tomorrow
you'll go to the aliens and tell them.

Maureen, I'd like to do what you want,
but I can't.

There's more to it than Will's being
disappointed.

It's a question of his pride.

If I call off that contest, he'll think
I don't have any confidence in him.

Is that your only reason?

No, it isn't.

No, I want him to meet that boy. I don't
care if he wins or loses. He's got to

have that opportunity.

I think you're almost glad that Will's
going to meet Quano.

In a way, I am. Oh, John, that's...
Maureen, look, I don't care how

civilized a man is.

He welcomes a challenge.

Well, it's part of his nature to test
his intelligence and skill, as well as

strength.

And without these things, we'd be living
in caves, eating out of stone bowls.

That sounds like quite a lecture we just
missed, Professor.

It couldn't be you want Will to go ahead
with the contest.

Do you have an answer to that, Mrs.
Robinson?

Well, we can't go back to the Stone Age,
can we?

Mother, what does the Stone Age have to
do with it?

Well, I don't really know, dear, but it
all seems quite clear when your father

explains it.

on your long -range audio detectors.

I want to hear what they're saying.

Such procedure is unethical.

What? Repeat.

Is unethical.

Their conversation may be highly
personal.

I am not interested in your misguided
moral principles.

All is fair in love and war.

Love? That does not compute.

It never has.

Well, you laggards, you're wasting time.

I cannot clear the frequency length.

Shy.

This time you must win.

Don't worry, sir.

I will. That is what you told me on your
last challenge.

If you are defeated, you know what will
happen.

I will have to destroy the victor and
all witnesses.

It is our law. No one must be superior
to you.

All witnesses?

I know, father.

Boy, Will is young and strong.

It would be a pity to end his life. You
must win.

I do not wish to continue.

I was not designed to eavesdrop.

Who cares about your design, sir?

We cannot let Will win.

The ruler will destroy all of us.

But what course of action is left?

You just leave that to me.

Now come along. We'll go back to the
camp.

What are you doing here?

Just, uh...

Out for a little stroll, Your Majesty,
for a bit of fresh air.

You lie. You are spying.

What did you hear?

Nothing. Nothing.

Hardly anything.

Whatever you heard, you will keep your
silence.

If you tell the others anything, you
will be destroyed.

No matter what happens, the contest must
be fair and open.

Is that understood?

Of course.

Fair and open.

What other way would anyone want it,
Your Majesty?

One, two, three, four. One, two, three,
four. Put a bit more snap in there, will

you?

Good.

How was the time on that?

32 .067, 13 seconds.

Splendid. Use this for a moment, my boy,
and then take a few more laps.

I'll have to rest a while, Dr. Smith.

Nonsense! How do you expect to get into
shape if you don't work out?

You've got to harden those leg muscles
and build up your wind.

Excessive exercise is not beneficial for
an athlete.

Well, I want your opinion, and I'll ask
for it.

Our boy will lose this fight in the gym.

Oh, spare me your ridiculous jargon.

And since when did he become our boy?

He's my boy.

I'm his sole trainer and manager.

And I'll thank you to restrict your
activities to tending that stopwatch.

How's it going?

My boy's doing very well. He's in the
peak of condition.

Here, I'll run those labs for you now,
Doctor. Good, good.

Oh, well, wait a minute. Hold it.

How long have you been exercising?

Since all 800 hours.

You've been exercising that boy for
three hours?

Doctor Smith said it'd be good for me.

I'll bet he did.

Go take a shower, Will. Sure, Don.

And get some rest, huh?

You've tried some pretty underhanded
things in your life, Smith.

But this one tops them all.

I have no idea what you're referring to.
Don't give me that innocent act.

You're trying to wear Will out so Corner
will beat him.

That's absolutely ridiculous, Major.

My loyalties are not to be questioned.
The only loyalty you've got, Smith, is

yourself. Nothing would please me more
than to have our Will emerge victorious.

On the other hand, if he were to be
defeated, no great harm would have been

done. Except to Will.

You've got an angle here, Smith.

What is it?

Angle? What angle?

You're hiding something. Let's have it.

It's nothing, nothing at all.

It's just that I'm not too concerned
about Will losing.

After all, a return to Earth with the
Grateful Ruler would do much to cure the

boy's injured spirit.

Return to Earth.

I've heard that title song before.

And the music is still just as sweet.

You may be content with your lot on this
dreary, desolate planet, but I yearn

for the green hills of home.

You're really consistent, Smith. You
know that? In what way?

Winning or losing doesn't matter to you.

Just as long as you can cheat at the
game.

You tin -plated traitor.

We thought you'd like a coffee break.
We've been at that for hours.

Well, thank you.

Ah, great. Just what we needed.

Like the ruler said, men are stronger
and smarter, but women make the best

coffee. Well, that depends on the woman.

Ah, and the coffee. It's nice to know
we're capable of doing something.

Can you imagine Cuano believing that
girls are worthless?

Well, Penny, I have a strong feeling
he'll change his opinion when he grows

I like them now.

but it has not managed to pay too much
attention to them.

May I enter?

Oh, why, of course.

Is there something we can do for you,
Cuadro?

I bring you greetings from my father.

As his spokesman, I also have a message
for you.

My father wishes to inform you that he
has prepared an area suitable for the

challenge.

The ground is good.

Verb. It offers a good footing.

If acceptable, the contest will begin at
the hour of ten tomorrow.

Failure of your son or his substitute to
appear will be considered an act of

cowardice and a penalty enacted against
you.

What sort of a penalty?

That will be for my father to decide.

John, there was nothing said about a
penalty before.

And what does he mean by substitute?

These are the rules which govern the
challenge.

You tell your father we'll be there.

I shall return.

Take you to the athletic field tomorrow.

I didn't like him before, and I think
he's even more icky now.

Don't be too hard on Cuerno, Penny.

Beneath that tough, militant exterior,
there's a 12 -year -old boy.

Well, that may be true, Don, but you'd
have to dig pretty deep to find him.

Well, where is he? You said he would
come back this way.

My deductions place the chances at 90 to
1 in our favor. The odds are very good.

Obviously, you've miscalculated. Again.

There is always a margin of error, even
in a machine.

Only Dr.

Zachary Smith is perfect.

I am indeed, and don't you forget about
it.

Are you sure you're not laughing at me?

Reporting. Alien boy approaching.

Alien boy. I heard you the first time.
Now stop chattering and give your

computers a rest.

Your Highness.

That bubble brain is getting completely
out of hand.

If you move, I will fire.

Your Highness, it's me, Dr. Smith, your
friend.

I know who you are.

It's for being my friend that is
doubtful.

You may lower your hands.

Oh, thank you, Your Highness.

It was a very uncomfortable position.

Well, I must say you're looking fit.

In good physical condition for the
challenge, I hope.

I shall win. I have no doubt about that
at all.

But there is always the possibility,
slight though it may be, that something

go wrong.

A little help might be of great benefit.

My father says a man who does not speak
with directness is not to be trusted.

Perhaps I was a trifle subtle, so I'll
get right to the point.

I can help you beat Will Robinson.

You can?

How, may I ask?

There are more ways than one of skinning
a cat, as they say.

I happen to enjoy the confidence of your
opponent.

A bit of wrong advice at the crucial
moment.

And you win.

And what would you want in return for
this betrayal?

Almost nothing.

All I ask is that your father make
provisions to take me back to Earth.

Well, Your Highness, what do you say?

You are very lucky, Dr. Smith.

Had you made your offer to my father, he
might have done you harm in his anger.

He is a man of honor.

And it seems that his son is a chip off
the old block.

For your sake, I will say nothing about
this.

But do not speak to me again.

I dislike traitors.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Indeed. And the first time I set eyes on
that boy, I knew he was a savage.

Statement. If my programming is correct,
he is much to be admired.

He has principles.

And I have not. Is that what you're
implying? Do you insist on an answer?

At once.

And you will not remove my power back if
I speak the truth?

Just answer the question.

Then I choose silence.

Oh, you do, do you?

You evasive coward.

You deliberately blew out your voltage
regulators.

John, is it necessary to go armed?

No, it's not necessary.

I just got used to wearing it. And a
very wise precaution, too. Our past

experiences with aliens have proved that
they are not to be trusted.

Well, and how does our young athlete
feel this morning?

My stomach's doing flip -flops. Have no
fear, my boy. I have my medical kit with

me, just in case.

Thanks. If it's any consolation, Will,
Cuano is probably just as nervous.

Here he comes now.

He sure looks relaxed to me.

Greetings. Good morning, Cuano.

Greetings to all of you.

Your Highness.

Are you ready?

We're all set.

Then let us go.

I'm coming, too. You will stay here.

Females are not allowed at a challenge.

It is only for men.

Oh, please, Dad, can I go along?

I promise I won't be any trouble.

Penny, I think it's best that you remain
behind with your mother.

Remain? You mean I'm not allowed to go,
either?

This time we'll play it by their rules,
darling.

I hope... I hope we'll pinch your ears
back.

My pulse is racing.

Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

Wait for me.

Wait for me.

That way.

Your Highness, how much farther?

I asked you not to speak to me.

A little farther, Mr. Robinson.

Oh, the pain.

The pain.

The end is near.

I know it.

Oh, dear.

Welcome, gentlemen.

You come bearing weapons.

Are you afraid?

Not at all.

Just careful.

That's not exactly a toothpick you're
carrying.

It has been many thousands of years
since any of my people used so primitive

weapon. Its only purpose is to signal
the beginning of the challenge.

Are you ready, Will Robinson?

Yes, sir.

And you, my son?

I'm ready, sir.

Let the challenge begin.

Give the signal.

We'll raise the rod above your head.

And remember, Will Robinson, to maintain
a firm grip with both hands.

Yes, sir. If you release the rod at any
time... You will be declared the loser.

In a moment, we shall see which of our
sons is the stronger.

How are you going to prove that? We
shall see.

Raise the rod.

Look at the rod.

The actual strength of the two boys is
meeting in the rod.

You're right.

I have beaten you.

Boy, you sure did.

All I did was hold on to that thing, and
now I feel tired.

You did well, my son.

That's all right, Will.

Losing one contest doesn't mean
anything.

You don't have to sound so pleased about
it, Smith.

The next challenge is a test of fear.

Are you ready, Will Robinson?

I guess so.

Let us proceed.

You'll wear this, Will Robinson.

What's going to happen now?

As you know, no man is without fear.
This machine will gauge its degree.

How does it work? By creating an
illusion of great danger in the boy's

he reacts will register electronically
on this gauge.

How's the score stand now, Dr. Smith?

You and Quano are tied.

Ah, then I didn't do so bad after all.
That would depend on how you look at it.

There's one contest left. I can still
win.

You misunderstand me, my boy.

In my opinion, you've performed too
well.

What? However, there's still hope. You
can still lose the last challenge.

You want me to lose?

To be perfectly honest, yes.

You've already covered yourself with
glory, Will. There's nothing further to

proved by defeating Quano.

If, on the other hand, he should win, we
might be able to talk his father into

taking us back to Earth.

In other words, you think I should throw
the contest?

Shhh!

Crudely but accurately put.

Well, what do you say?

I don't think you understand, Dr. Smith.

I'm not just trying to beat Quano for
myself.

It's like I was representing every boy
from Earth against every boy from

planet. You're a very noble young man,
William. Sometimes I wish you were a

little less honest. Life would be a
great deal easier.

Will?

The ten -minute rest period's up.

I'm ready to go when they are, Dad.

The ruler and Quarnell seem to be having
some kind of a disagreement.

Yes, I wonder what that's all about.

I can beat him. I know I can.

The Earth boys are worthy opponents.

But I am better.

Give me this last chance to prove it to
you. I will not risk your defeat.

I will inform the Earth people.

It will be as I say.

You do not believe that I can defeat
him.

That is enough.

Mr. Robinson.

Yes? The challenge will continue, but
without my son.

But how?

I will act for Quan O.

You may act for your son.

It is one of the laws of the challenge.

If a contestant wishes to withdraw, he
may appoint a substitute.

What if I refuse?

Then your son will know you're afraid to
face me.

I'll act as a substitute.

We are ill -matched.

Let John Robinson make his own decision.

How do you want to settle this?

We could test ourselves in a duel with
the Volterblades.

The Volterblades?

Those blades must be carrying at least
50 ,000 volts.

I am ready.

Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

The contest is over.

You fight well.

Thank you.

But don't ask me to do it again.

How do you feel, champ?

Every muscle in my body is aching.

Where's Quano?

He left in the middle of the map, sir.
He was real hurt because you didn't let

him continue the challenge.

In my desire to protect him, I made a
mistake.

I should have let him continue the
contest.

Quano took the spear, the one that you
threw at the target, Mr. Ruler. What

would he want with so primitive a
weapon?

The cave!

He's going to the cave to fight the
monster!

Quano would not be so foolish after I
warned him.

Can you think of a better way for a boy
whose pride is hurt to prove himself to

his father?

Don't shoot.

It was wrong of me to stop the contest,
my son. Forgive me.

I was afraid you would be beaten.

It was I who lacked courage.

There is no disgrace in defeat.

A man does the best he can.

Nothing more can be asked of him.

Shall we fight the monster together,
father?

I will be honored, my son.

I think Mano and Father will have a lot
to say to each other.

They won't say it alone.

Let's go.

There.

I beg your pardon.

Well, Penny, what do you think of it?

Well, I don't know much about painting,
Doctor. Even a rank amateur should be

able to recognize my challenge as an
artist.

It burns through the canvas like a
beacon, lighting up the depths of

Well, I guess it does abuse me, though.

When we return to Earth, I shall place
my genius on display for all to see.

I would like to express an opinion.

You have my permission?

If you have a comment to make, make it.

I already have.

How dare you!

What does an insensitive brute like you
know about art? You, who have never

touched brush to canvas?

Away, you cackling cloud, and leave me
to my work. My day of retribution will

surely come.

Do you see what I see?

Well, I think I do.

That's good, because I was beginning to
think something was wrong with my eyes.

Have your fun, Major.

Just remember, they all so laughed at
Gauguin and Matin.

Pardon me.

What's it supposed to be?

You probably will not understand it, but
it represents the inner feelings of a

sensitive man in space. Notice the
blending of the lights.

Warning, warning.

Dangerous storm approaching.

Advice about refuge be taken
immediately.

All right, let's get inside.

What about our equipment outside?

No time. Inside.
