JIM: Silver, you gave up?
SILVER: Just a lifelong obsession, Jim. l'll get over it.
JIM:And Grimm you-
GRIMM:Don't (holds up his hand) just know you owe me big time
B.E.N.: Aloha. Jimmy!
[B.E.N. pulls up with the ship with Delbert piloting it and Amelia in tow; the remaining pirates are in custody.]
B.E.N.: Hurry, people! We got exactly two minutes and thirty-four seconds till planet's destruction!
AMELIA: You're doing fine, Doctor. Now ease her over gently--gently!
PIRATES: Aah!
ONUS: We were better off on exploding planet!
[Jim Grimm and Silver climb onto the ship.]
GRIMM:off I flying now(takes the wheel)
AMELIA: Take us out of here, metal man!
B.E.N.: Aye, Captain!
[As the planet explodes around them, B.E.N. and Delbert sail as best they can.]
SILVER: Captain, you dropped from the heavens in the nick of--
AMELIA: Save your claptrap for the judge, Silver!
SILVER: [Chuckles then frowns.]
AMELIA:And for you (looks at Grimm who was flying the ship now) I deal with you later you hear me
GRIMM:Yes ma'am
[A sudden chunk of the planet takes out the main sail and one of the cannons.]
B.E.N.: Mizzen tail demobilized, Captain! Thrusters at only 30% of capacity.
DELBERT: 30%? That means we're...We'll never clear the planet's explosion in time.
[Jim looks back and sees that the portal is still working and with the cannon destroyed he can use the parts.]
JIM: We gotta turn around.
AMELIA: What?
JIM: There's a portal back there. lt can get us out of here!
DELBERT: Pardon me, Jim, but didn't that potal open onto a raging inferno?!
JIM: Yes, but I'm gonna change that. I'm gonna open a different door. [Jim starts to gather pieces to make a solar surfer.]
DELBERT: Captain, really, I don't see how this is possible--
SILVER: Listen to the boy!
B.E.N.: One minute, twenty-nine seconds till planet's destruction!
SILVER: What do you need, Jim?
JIM: Just some way to attach this.
SILVER: All right. Stand back. Stand back, now. [He welds the pieces together to make a makeshift solar surfer] There you go.
MORPH: There you go.
JIM: OK. Now, no matter what happens, keep the ship heading straight for that portal.
B.E.N.: Fifty-eight seconds! [Jim takes off on his surfer.]
SILVER: Well, you heard him! Get this blasted heap turned 'round!
AMELIA:Grimm, head us back to the portal.
GRIMM: Aye, Captain.
[Up ahead, Jim manages to weave his way through the planets explosions, heading straight for the portal.]
AMELIA: Go to the right! The right!
GRIMM: l know, I know! Will you just let me drive in peace woman!?
B.E.N.: Twenty-five seconds!!!
[Jim's surfer suddenly loses power, and he begins to fall into one of the ravines.]
JIM: No! No!
SILVER: Come on, lad.
B.E.N.: SEVENTEEN SECONDS!!!
[Out of options, Jim shoves the engine against the wall, and the friction combined with the sparks gets the engine started again. Jim and the ship race toward the portal.]
BEN: Seven, six, five, four, three, two--
[Right at the last second, Jim presses on the Montressor Space Port, causing the portal to change as he and the ship fly through it. The planet and portal explode behind them.]
JIM: WAHOW! Yeah!
SILVER: You done it. Jimmy! You done it, boy!
JIM: Ha ha ha!
SILVER: Didn't I say the lad had greatness in him?
PIRATES: [Cheering]
[Amelia and Grimm embrace, and Jim jumps off the surfer and back onto the ship.]
AMELIA: Unorthodox, but ludicrously effective. I'd be proud to recommend you to the interstellar academy. They could use a man like you.
DELBERT: Just wait until your mother hears about this! Of course, we may downplay the life-threatening parts.
B.E.N.: Jimmy, that was unforgettable! l know you don't like touching, but get ready for a hug, big guy, 'cause I gotta hug ya! Ha ha ha ha! [The hug.] Hey, you hugged me back. Oh, I promised myself l wouldn't cry. [Sobbing]
[Jim looks up and notices that Silver is gone.]
B.E.N.: Does anyone have a tissue?
