Mighty Max (1993) s01e12 Episode Script
Out in the Cold
Oh my! What is that?
I don't know.
And I don't think I want to be around to find out.
First day of summer and no school.
Life doesn't get much better miss.
Uh,
perhaps I should rethink today's activities.
Dear Mighty One,
you are needed immediately at the American Weather Station
in the Illusion Islands.
Look to the right for directions to the nearest portal.
Oh man,
what a way to begin a vacation.
I guess being the Mighty One does have certain responsibilities.
I hate it when this happens!
What?!
Virge, remind me to talk to you about the portals
we've been using lately?
Once again,
you must save the world,
Mighty One.
Yeah,
So what's the emergency this time,
Crazed ghouls,
rabid llamas,
three-toed sloths bent on world domination?
The cold weather.
Virge,
hello.
We're in the aleutians.
What did you expect?
Sand dunes and camels?
A temperature drop is developing globally.
Earth has been sent outside its orbit.
And I believe the cause may originate here.
Prepare yourself for the worst.
We must be ready for anything.
No one move or face the wrath of the Mighty One?
Hello.
Welcome to Weather Station Zebra Tango Niner.
Can we help you?
Phew.
We got here just in time.
Make yourselves at home.
It's nice to meet you.
Yeah,
I- Oh man
your hands are like ice.
Here, you can use my hand warmer.
Yeah!
Thanks
but when you live in the Arctic for
six months, you get used to feeling cold.
Seems just fine to me.
Very strange.
I don't see anything strange.
That is what is strange.
Something is definitely wrong.
Uh,
guys, this may sound like a silly question,
but is everything all right here?
Yeah,
everything's fine.
Except for maybe a little too much boredom.
But I was so sure that impending doom was on the horizon.
Hey wait,isn't that guy one of yours?
Yeah, but he's crazy and dangerous.
He's gotta be stopped.
Hurry! He went around the North Side.
It's still hit him off.
You see! Something is wrong.
I knew it.
They're hiding something.
I don't see him.
Which way did they go?
Over there.
Something moved.
I still don't see anything.
How about you, Virge?
Virge?
You're not Virge?
You can say that again,
alien.
Might one Norman?
Wait for me.
Oh I'm so glad to see you.
I thought I was in real trouble there.
You can't fool me.
I know who you really are.
You're the Ice Aliens.
Look,I'm not an Ice Alien.
I'm a red-blooded American kid.
You want to hear me sing the Star Spangled Banner?
You can't fool me.
You're Ice Aliens in the form of humans.
But there's only one way to be absolutely sure you're Ice Aliens.
I, uh
I hope you're not planning to put those where I think.
Ice Aliens have a body temperature that's sub-freezing.
If you really are human,
your temperature should read 98.6
instead of
98.6?
You are human!
But I thought you were one of them,
like the others.
you mean the soldiers?
They're all Ice Aliens?
Look, I know it sounds bizarre.
But once Ice Aliens capture a human,
they can make themselves look just like that human.
sounds like a pretty reasonable explanation to me,
but I gotta tell you it would sound a lot more reasonable
if we were untied.
Oh, I'm sorry
but you can't be too careful.
Now,how about doing my favorite song
Twist and Shout
Ah! But I'm telling you the truth! I can prove it!
Check my front pocket!
They're photos of the others during the transformation!
they're not very photogenic,are they?
So,what made them come to the Aleutians?
Couldn't find a room in Miami?
The climate.
They can only survive in freezing temperatures.
They can't stand even a small amount of heat.
Like a hand warmer?
They're moving the Earth out of its orbit to create a permanent Ice Age.
Then they'll have the whole planet to themselves.
Yeah,well if we're gonna stop them,
we're gonna have to work together.
Oh no,
Virge! I left them outside the compound with the Ice Aliens!
throme the Ice Aliens kept off limits is just around the corner.
Virge,
you're alright!
Oh man,am I glad to see you!
You're not Virge, are you?
What have you done with Virge?
The same thing I'm about to do to you and your friends!
Oh my goodness,
would you look at the time?
Gotta go!
Mom doesn't like me out past nine
I
Seal the building,
check the rooms! He couldn't have gotten far!
Hurry! Over here!
He must have gone out the window!
Come on! If we hurry,
we can still head him off!
No,
call off the search.
But he'll get away!
He'll freeze by morning.
We can pick him up then.
He'll just be doing our job for us.
Should I board up the window?
What for?
He's finally getting kinda nice outside.
Man,I thought they'd never leave!
only a fool would climb down there.
Just wish I brought along an extra sweater.
And I thought being the mighty one would be a glamour job.
This is not exactly how I pictured my summer vacation.
Oh man,
why'd I have to run into ice aliens?
Why couldn't they be
Florida aliens?
At least I could wind up with a tan out of this.
Not bad for a bunch of ice aliens.
It has a certain Genesee claw.
what if they have an in-flight movie.
Oh swell,
looks like they have the air conditioner cranked up all the way.
I can't believe it's even colder inside than outside!
I'm surprised these ice aliens don't all have the sniffles by now.
Hey,
this must be how they're taking Earth out of its orbit.
I hate it when ice aliens drop by unannounced.
Yeesh,
no wonder they like to change their form.
if I looked like that,
I wouldn't be seen in public either.
Oh,
talk about a sight for sore eyes!
You all can there,Virge?
I didn't know he slept with his eyes open.
At least I hope he's asleep.
Hey Virge! Wake up!
So you didn't freeze in the snow after all.
Hey! what did you do with Virge,
Virge?
Ow! Man you're cold.
What'd you do?
Fall asleep in the fridge?
Pretty soon you'll be on ice.
chill out,dude!
I love adventure banter.
Virge,
I'm sure glad you're alive,man.
Thank you very much.
That makes two of us.
Now exactly what is going on?
It's a really long story,
but let's just say for a while there you were foul under glass.
Oh look!
Come on! I'll fill you in later.
We still have to find the others.
I hear something.
Let me go or I'll rip out your spine
and use it as a charm, Wasteland!
I think we're getting close.
I believe I understand now.
The ice aliens can only remain human while
they hold their subjects captive.
Once freed,
they revert back to their original form.
What is that for?
I think it's time we turn up the heat around here.
what happend
It appears the ice aliens ignite
when they rise above sub-freezing temperatures.
yeah,
and they smell like old sneakers when they burn.
Hey,
funny running into you guys.
I thought the ice aliens captured you.
They did, but it's another matter holding me.
What's wrong?
How do I know you're not one of them?
We've all been separated.
Anything could have happened.
That's true.
And how do we know you're you?
Why would I question you if I was one of them?
Could just be a clever ploy to throw us off.
Yeah, well
maybe you're questioning me,questioning you.
It's just a clever ploy to throw me off.
What scares me is that almost makes sense.
What do you think Normie?
I'm not even sure if I'm who I think I am.
There's only one way to make sure who's real and who's an ice alien.
Since the ice aliens can't stand heat,
if any of us is an alien,
he won't be able to stand the touch of my hand warmer.
So
Who's first? You, Virge.
If you are Virge.
An ice alien! Get him! Get him!
I never trusted him with that beak.
Oh, ouch! Hey, it is hot.
I must have turned it up too high.
You can let Virge go.
He's not an ice alien.
Sorry.
Nothing personal.
Indeed.
We'll have a long talk about this later.
Come on, you guys.
Let's get out of here.
Ok! We don't have much time.
Normie and I will look for the real soldiers.
You two take care of the equipment that has taken Earth out of its orbit.
Go ahead Normie
and do what you do best.
Finally I get to have some fun.
What are you doing in there?
I just left you with Virge.
I just about have Earth back in orbit.
I'd love to see the look of their faces
when they find out what we did.
What happened?
There,I did it.
Earth's back in its orbit.
Perhaps this is not the best time to revel in my accomplishment,
-but
-We've got to find Virge before it's too late.
You think they saw us?
what are we gonna do
There's no way out.
won't be long before the ice aliens come crashing through.
Hold on to your mittens.
There may be a way out after all.
How?
Trust him, He knows
He's the mighty one.
Oh,great.
I believe this equipment controls the temperature aboard the ship.
-I'm afraid there's no time to figure out how this stuff works.
-True.
Moments like these call for drastic measures.
Virge!
Virge!
We gotta go.
The ship may blow any second.
Take the others.
I'm not leaving without that chicken.
And I'm not leaving without the mighty one.
I understand.
Don't take too long.
You see Virgil?
Helphelp!
hey,I'd know that familiar.
Collect for help anywhere.
Hey,Virge!
Help!
Over there!
Hold on,Noble Chicken
We'll save you.
I am not a chicken.
I'm a fowl.
Yeah, well you're gonna be
barbecue if you don't hurry.
Look!
they're alive
Virgil,
the next time Earth needs to be saved,
try calling 911,okay?
Oh,but you did a wonderful job
mighty one.
You should be very proud.
Oh,yeah.
Very proud.
Look at me,Virgil.
I'm covered with frostbite.
I can't even feel my toes.
Maybe I'll just move and get an unlisted number and a really big dog to keep away unwelcome guests.
So,Virge
what kind of dog are you most afraid of?
I mean, you know,
just out of curiosity.
Oh,cap bearer.
How true.
No,Really.
Maybe I should consider retirement.
I mean, I could get my own place,
maybe open a little restaurant.
Hey, how about the mighty one bed and breakfast?
What do you think?
This week we went to the Aleutian Islands,
which are part of Alaska,
America's largest and northernmost state.
The U.S. bought Alaska from the
Russians in 1867 for $7,200 ,000.
Oh, man for that price
most NBA teams could draft the entire state of Alaska
and still remain under the salary cap.
See you next week.
I don't know.
And I don't think I want to be around to find out.
First day of summer and no school.
Life doesn't get much better miss.
