[after discovering the map to Treasure Planet]
Mom, this is it! This is the answer to all our problems!
Jim, there is absolutely no way--
Don't you remember? All those stories?
That's all they were; stories.
Well, this-- it's just-- oh, my. Delbert, would you please explain how ridiculous this is?
It's totally preposterous, traversing the entire galaxy alone.
That's why I'm going with you! [pulls out a suitcase]
Delbert!
[runs around packing things]
She'll use her savings to finance the expedition; I'll commission a ship, hire a captain and a crew...
You're not serious?
[slides down a tower of books]
All my life, I've been waiting for an opportunity like this, and here it is screaming! "Go, Delbert! Go, Delbert...!"
Mom, look. I know that I keep messing everything up. And I know...that I let you down. But this is my chance to make it up to you. I'm gonna set things right.
If I may? [quietly speaks to her] You said yourself, you've tried everything. There are much worse remedies than a few character-building months in space.
Are you saying this because it's the right thing or because you really wanna go?
I really, really, really, really want to go. And it's the right thing.
[Sarah smiles back]
Well, ahem, there we are, then. We'll begin preparations at once. Jim, my boy, soon we'll be off to the spaceport.
