[Nearly has a head-on collision with another car]

George Jetson: Why you big strata-jerk. It's vacuum-heads like you who keep fuselage and fender shops in business. Come on out and face the music.

Mr. Spacely: [Emerges from the other car] 'Morning, Jetson. Nice day isn't it?

George Jetson: M-M-M-Mr. Spacely, I presume?

Mr. Spacely: That's correct. I hope you're wearing your watch, Jetson, because you have exactly 5 MINUTES TO CLEAN OUT YOUR DESK!
