The international Space program has chosen you

To be the first Student in space.

You mean you liked The urkel agf-5000?

The urkel Agf-5000?

Yeah. Agf stands for Artificial gravity field.

You see, I worked up Some equations

That, in theory, Should produce gravity

In a weightless environment.

Ever since you told me

You wanted to become A police officer,

I've wanted to give This to you.

A bullet-proof Vest?

This is My lucky vest.

Was this mark Made by a bullet?

Yep, a .38 slug.

And you must be Proud of eddie.

Very.

And worried.

Harriette, would you Like for me to talk to My husband about eddie?

Blanche. Yes.

Why don't you go ahead And talk to him about it?

I want you To promise me something.

Where are Mitch and alan?

Well, they Bumped noggins.

The explorer is spinning Out of control.

I'm about to blow chunks!

Alright, Alright, steve,

You're gonna have To stabilize the ship.

Me? Well, here's A crazy thought--

Why don't we wait till The guys who know what They're doing wake up?

Negative. Negative.

If we don't correct Your orbit immediately,

You're gonna fall into The earth's atmosphere, And you'll...

I'll what?

Oh, you'll...

You'll become A crispy critter.

Tell me what to do.

Okay, steve, Uh, reprogramming The guidance computer

Is a little bit Complicated,

But don't worry.

We'll walk you through The stabilization Procedure step by step.

Whew.

Well, how many steps Are there?

3,672.

Almost done, steve.

Prepare to fire The orbital maneuvering System engines.

Length of burn?

Uh, 3.62 seconds.

Roger that.

On my mark...

Mark.

Mark.

[sighs]

Congratulations, steve.

Course correction Completed.

Whew.

Talk about Your maalox moments.

Uh, do we Have any update On mitch and alan?

Well, alan's still Somewhere over the rainbow,

But mitch, he's Starting to come to.

You know, it might help If I reactivate My agf-5000

And let some gravity In here.

Good idea, steve.

Mitch: Steve, you okay?

Oh, yeah, mitch.

I'm gonna give you Some gravity.

Uh...Control?

Mitch may be out For a little while longer.

Reporter: and so the world Continues to wait.

We know that A communications satellite Has collided with explorer,

But thus far, Mission control Has not released any details

As to the condition Of the astronauts

Or their spacecraft.

In other news today,

The president enjoyed A private performance by gordon,

The tap-dancing pig.

[tapping to swanee river]

Honey, can I fix you Some lunch?

I'm not hungry.

Oh, now, sweetheart, You have to eat.

Mom, why don't they Tell us anything?

I want to know If steve's okay.

I'm sure he's fine. We just have to--

We just have to what, Go crazy?

Mom, I just want to Know what's happening.

I'm gonna go call Mission control.

Oh, carl, I am so Glad you're home.

Harriette, We need to talk.

I know. Have you been Listening to the news?

Yes, I heard about The explorer getting Hit by that satellite,

I'm very worried About steve.

Oh, so am I--

Harriette, we need To talk about eddie.

You know, yesterday he was Very upset about being Yanked off his beat

And reassigned To parking enforcement.

So I talked to commissioner Geiss about it.

You did?

And imagine my surprise, Not to mention Embarrassment,

When I found out the reason Eddie was reassigned

Was because You requested it.

I was worried About eddie,

And I wanted him To be safe.

Oh, harriette, You interfered In his career.

I made sure he Wouldn't get hurt.

You embarrassed him. I protected him.

What you did, Harriette, Was wrong.

And so I asked Commissioner geiss To fix it.

How?

Well, first thing Monday morning

Eddie will be Walking his beat.

If that happens, carl,

You're going To be walking, too.

Where?

From our bed To this couch.

Wha--

Har--

We're losing Air pressure.

It's a slow leak, But it'll have to Be repaired.

Yeah. The satellite's antenna Punctured a hole.

Figure we can break it, Patch it from inside.

Yes, but we can't re-enter The earth's atmosphere

With a satellite Sitting on our back.

That's true. One of us Is gonna have to go e.V.A.

A space walk?

That's right.

Holy mackanoli!

Control, do you copy?

Uh, roger, explorer,

We've been monitoring Your conversation,

And we concur.

Who will Perform the satellite Extraction procedure?

Well, alan Has a broken arm,

So I guess it's me.

Uh, negative, colonel.

With the automatic Stabilizers inoperative,

You're needed At the controls.

Then that means...

That's right, mitch.

You're going to have To send out the nerd.

Nerd?

Eddie: hmm...

Gotcha, huh?

Hold it. Wait! Don't write That ticket!

I'm sorry, ma'am. I've already started, So I have to finish.

Why can't you Meter maids ever give A person a break, huh?

First of all, I am not a meter maid.

I am a parking Enforcement officer.

And second of all--

[gunshots]

Get down, get down!

Stop! Police!

Halt!

Dispatch, officer Needs assistance At fourth and hennessey!

Shots fired!

Freeze!

Aah!

Freeze!

Alright, buddy, That's it!

Don't...Move!

Ow, ow...

Easy, mom.

Does it hurt that much? Yes.

It would've hurt a lot worse If you weren't wearing this.

Amen to that.

You know, this baby Saved my life...

And my son's life As well.

I'm gonna award this A medal...

But no time off.

Mom, I need to talk To you about something.

Well, I hope It's about Changing careers.

No. Actually, it's about Changing assignments.

Oh, now, eddie, no.

Mom, look,

Dad told me how worried You were about me,

So I can Understand why you Interfered in my career.

I didn't interfere. I just--

Yes, you did, Harriette. You interfered.

That's a mother's Right, carl.

If I think my child Is in danger, I'll do something.

Oh, harriette, Your child is a man now,

And he can make His own decisions.

Uh, excuse me.

Um, can I please Finish saying

What I was gonna say?

Look, mom,

What happened to me Today proves that

No assignment is Completely safe.

I mean, Just stepping Outside that door

Is taking a risk.

I know that.

Mama...

When I decided To be a cop,

I made a commitment To protect people,

And I got good training From smart, experienced Instructors,

And they gave me All the right equipment.

So?

So I want To do my job.

I'm the one Who asked dad

To see if he could Switch me back To walking my beat.

Mom, I have Everything I need To be a good cop...

Except For one thing.

What's that?

Your support.

You be careful, Eddie winslow.

I will, mama.

I love you.

I love you.

Carl...

Hmm?

You were right.

I shouldn't Have interfered.

That's okay.

I understand.

Mom, dad, There's a problem On the explorer.

Steve's gonna Walk in space.

Oh, good lord.

What are those People thinking?

Reporter: no one, least Of all young steven urkel,

Expected his artificial Gravity device to cause Such disaster.

Yo. Heh. I expected it.

Now this brave young man Must attempt a dangerous Walk in space

To try to dislodge The communications satellite

That has smashed Into explorer.

[doorbell chimes]

I'll get it.

Myra? Hello, eddie.

Can you believe What's happening?

My little doodle-bug Floatin' out in space All by his lonesome.

Doodle-bug?

Can I watch The news with you?

I'm too upset To be alone.

Uh, well...

Come on in, myra.

Reporter: moments ago, Steven urkel's fiance

Called this reporter From chicago, illinois.

She asked me to convey Publicly her undying love For steven

And her fervent prayer That he would return to her Safe and sound.

Fiance?

I never called That guy.

She sent us her picture,

Hoping that we would Transmit it

To astronaut urkel.

How did that happen?

Well, I'm gonna go Investigate this Right now.

The media In this country Is out of control.

We've just received word

That steve urkel Has left explorer

And is approaching The satellite.

Mitch: steve?

This is mitch. How you doing?

Pretty good.

I don't know who wore This suit last, though,

'cause I'm getting A little jock itch.

Mitch, I'm at the satellite.

I'm gonna try And yank it loose.

Mitch: Be careful, steve.

I always am, mitch, I always am.

I did it! I did it!

I got the satellite! I did it!

Mitch: Way to go, steve.

Only one problem. What's that?

I'm floating away With it.

Don't worry. You'll stop When you reach the end Of your tether.

Tether?

Without a tether, steve Will continue to float

Further and further away From explorer

With no way to return.

God, I can't Watch this.

Steve, we're gonna Turn your agf-5000 up.

It will pull you Back to the ship.

Steve: that's brilliant.

But one thing, though.

Don't turn it All the way up.

Why not?

'cause it'll Short out.

Uh-oh!

Did I just hear You say "Uh-oh"?

The last thing I wanna hear right Now is "Uh-oh"!

Steve, the machine Shorted out.

Uh-oh!

Now what? What are you gonna do?

What are you gonna do?

Control, Please advise.

Uh, roger. We're Working on the problem.

Uh, in the meantime,

Start calculating How to compensate

For the lack of His weight on re-entry.

Hey, I heard that! I heard that!

I heard that!

Reporter: steve's Situation is dire indeed,

Drifting off into space,

Only a few minutes Of oxygen remaining,

And no way to Return to explorer.

I don't Believe this.

Come on, don't Give up, steve, think.

Oh, I'm a goner! I'm dead meat!

I'm past tense. Goodbye, laura.

Laura's voice: I want You to promise me that No matter what happens,

You'll find a way To come back to me.

Hey, mitch, does this Satellite have thrusters

For orbit adjustments?

Mitch: I don't know.

This is mission control.

Uh, affirmative On thrusters, but They're radio controlled,

And the satellite's Receiver is a no-go.

Gotcha!

See, what I'm thinking is,

What if I hot-wire This sucker?

It appears that a plan Has been formulated by Steve urkel himself.

Come on, steve! That's it!

Bingo! I found The port thruster.

Alright!

Starboard thruster Up and at 'em!

Mission control: steve, Be advised, time is critical.

You only have 3 minutes Of oxygen remaining.

Oh, you're just Full of good news, Aren't you?

Ohh!

Ohh!

He's moving.

He's on his way Back to the ship!

Yes! Yes!

Yes, go ahead, Steve!

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah!

Come on, steve! Go, go, go!

Aah!

Oh, my god, It's a miracle!

I can't believe this! The nerd's okay!

That's the way To go, steve! That's our boy!

Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha.

Would have done.

But I've actually been Bragging about you.

I have told everybody At work about My future son-in-law.

Really?
