1. Find the three pieces of the phone.
        -Go to a screen with wells.
        -run around until you find a "?"
        -press the button
                -you'll see a white dot in one of the wells or...
                -you'll see nothing
                -the white dot means that there is a piece of phone in the
                 well.  
        -fall into the well and get the piece.
        -Extend your head and fly out (Atari is so weird).
        -keep doing it until you've found all three pieces.
2. Call your ship.
        -run around all the screens until you find a sign that looks like
         this (uh...sort of like this)...

          X  X
          XXXX
         X XX X
        XXXXXXXX
        X XXXX X
         XXXXXX
          X  X
         X    X

        -Press the button and you'll see a clock on the top right of the 
         screen.
3. Go to ship.
        -The ship will arrive when clock fully countsdown
        -go to the forest screen
        -find the landing zone and stand on it
                  XXXXXXX
                  X  X  X
                  X XXX X
                  XXX XXX
                  X XXX X
                  X  X  X
                  XXXXXXX
        -CAUTION:  The ship won't come if there is a human in the forest.
        -The ship will arrive and fly you back home.
4. Also, you can get reeses pieces for extra points and time. You should
   try to avoid the humans. (The scientist kidnaps you and the FBI agent 
   steals your stuff).

        I hope that helps.
