Wesley Singerman: Wilbur

Meet the Robinsons

Wilbur

Wilbur: Pop quiz: Who have you met, and what have you learned?
Lewis: OK. Bud, Fritz, and Joe are brothers. Fritz is married to Petunia, and is she...?
[Makes a talking gesture with his hand]
Wilbur: Cranky? Yes.
Lewis: Tallulah and Laszlo are their children. Joe is married to Billie. Lefty is the butler. Spike and Dimitri are twins, and I don't know who they're related to.
Wilbur: Neither do we. Go on.
Lewis: Lucille is married to Bud, and your dad, Cornelius, is their son. What does Cornelius look like?
Wilbur: Tom Selleck.
Lewis: OK. Cornelius is married to Franny, and her brothers are Gaston and Art.
Wilbur: You're forgetting something.
Lewis: Forgetting? Oh, right! Wilbur is the son of Franny and Cornelius.
Wilbur: And nobody realized that you're from the past?
Lewis: Nope.
Wilbur: Whew.
Lewis: Thank you. Thank you. Hold your applause.

Franny: [just before Lewis is about to leave to go back to the past] Wait Lewis, one more thing.
[Franny approaches Lewis]
Lewis: Yeah?
Franny: Just a little tip for the future, I am always right. Even when I'm wrong, I'm right.
[taps Lewis's nose]
Franny: [Lewis gives confused look then looks at Cornelius]
Cornelius: She's right. I would just go with it if I were you...
[chuckles]
Cornelius: and I am.
Lewis: Then you're absouletly right.
Lewis: [Wilbur honks the horn repeatdly] Alright, alright, I'm coming.
[heads over to the time machine and climbs in]
Wilbur: [Looks at Lewis] Well, it's not like you're never going to see them again. They are you're family after all.
[Lewis looks at the Robinson family all smiling at him]
Wilbur: [Wilbur closes the hatch and starts the time machine which takes off, Lewis waves good-bye to the Robinsons as Wilbur and Lewis go back to the past]

Wilbur: If my parents figured out I brought you from the past, they'll bury me alive and dance on my grave!

Wilbur: You did it Lewis, you did it!
[sees Bowler Hat Guy and gasps and attacks him]
Wilbur: I'll hold him while you run for help.
Lewis: [pries Wilbur off the Bowler Hat Guy and Wilbur is struggling to get free] Let him go!
Wilbur: Wh-what are you doing? He's the bad guy!
Lewis: No, he's not, he's my roommate...
Wilbur: What?
Lewis: [pulls Wilbur aside]
[quietly]
Lewis: Look, I want you guys to adopt him.
Wilbur: Are you nuts?
Lewis: Give me one good reason why no...
Wilbur: I'll give you three good reasons: one: he stole our time machine, two: he tried to ruin your future, and three: he smells like he hasn't showered in thirty years!
Lewis: [grabs Wilbur by the ear] Don't forget I'm your father, you have to do what I say.

Wilbur: Yeah, about that. One of the time machines is broken and the other one was stolen by a guy in a bowler hat, which kind of explains the dino.
Franny: I'm calling your father.

Wilbur: Five years ago, Dad wakes up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. Wants to build a time machine. So he starts working! We're talking plans, we're talking scale models, we're talking prototypes!
Wilbur: [shows Lewis a small scrap of metal]
Lewis: That's a prototype?
Wilbur: The very first!... Or, what's left of it.
Lewis: Yikes.
Wilbur: Yeah. Dark day at the Robinson household.

Wilbur: [to Lewis] I'm not allowed to look at this thing, let alone drive it! Mom and Dad are gonna kill me! And I can tell you this, it will not be done with mercy.

Wilbur: Mom and Dad are gonna kill me! And I'm gonna tell you this, it will not be done with mercy!

Bowler Hat Guy: [the Bowler Hat Guy has just gotten the time machine back] Take a good look around boys, because your future is about to change.
[heads to the past to pass the memory scanner as his own]
Wilbur: Lewis, you have to fix the time machine.
Lewis: No-no, I-I can't!
[in the past the Bowler Hat Guy has entered Invenct Co]
Lewis: What about your dad? You could call him!
Wilbur: [points to Lewis] You are my dad!
Lewis: But that's in the future!
Wilbur: There won't be a future unless you fix the time machine!
[in the past Bowler Hat Guy is showing off the memory scanner]
Wilbur: Look, I messed up, I left the garage unlocked, but I tried like crazy to fix things! But now it's up to you...
[in the past Bowler Hat guy is signing a contract]
Wilbur: You can do it, dad.
[starts to vanish]
Wilbur: Lewis? Lewis!
[flys into the sky turns into a ball of light]
Lewis: Wilbur?
[flies over the Robinson yard and is sucked into the sky]
Lewis: Wilbur...

Wilbur: [at the science fair after Lewis puts his memory scanner on the table]
[Wilbur pops out from underneath the sheet covering the memory scanner]
Wilbur: This area is not secure, get in.
[pulls Lewis under the sheet]
Wilbur: Have you been approached a tall man in a bowler hat?
Lewis: What?
Wilbur: Hey, hey, I'll ask the questions here.
Lewis: Okay... goodbye.
[starts to leave but Wilbur drags him back in]
Wilbur: Okay, I didn't want to pull rank on you but you forced my hand. Special agent Wilbur Robinson of the T.C.T.F.
Lewis: What?
Wilbur: Time continuum task force. I'm here to protect you.
[Lewis tries to say something but Wilbur covers his mouth]
Wilbur: Now, tall man? Bowler hat? Approached you?
Lewis: No, why?
Wilbur: [Wilbur sighs and shakes his head] I could lose my badge for this, he's a suspect in a robbery.
Lewis: What did he steal?
Wilbur: A time machine.
Lewis: A what?
Wilbur: I tracked him to this time and my informants say he's after you.
Lewis: Me? Why me?
Wilbur: The boys back at HQ haven't figured out a motive yet.
[uses air quotes]
Wilbur: And by "HQ" I mean headquarters.
Lewis: I know what HQ means!
Wilbur: Good, you're a smart kid, that'll keep you alive... for now.
[pats Lewis's memory scanner]
Wilbur: You just take care of your science gizmo and leave the perp to me.
[leaves but instantly]
Wilbur: [pops back under the sheet] And by perp, I mean perp...
Lewis: I know what it means!
Wilbur: Okay, Mr. Smartypants.
[leaves the sheet]

Lewis: [after the Tyrannosaurus crashes through the wall] Why didn't you tell me you had a pet dinosaur?
Wilbur: Uhhh... because we don't!

Wilbur: It's been a long, hard day, full of emotional turmoil and dinosaur fights.
