"Dude, dude, no, I was, like, "Yes, we do have nuclear missiles."" "And he was all, like, "No, you don't."" "And I was all, like, "Yes, we do." "Whatever."" "And then I was, like, "Well, what part of 'whatever'" ""do you not get?"" "Josh?" "Josh?" "Hey!" "How many times have I told you kids not to play ball in this alley?" "Mom!" "Are you all right?" "I'm fine." "It wasn't a baseball." "There was this thing!" "It came from space!" "It almost hit me!" "A thing came from space?" "Yeah." "You have the biggest imagination, mister." "But..." "Come here." "I'm glad you're all right." "But..." "No buts." "It's time to get ready for bed, please." "Here." "And don't walk over there until I pick up that glass, okay?" "Awesome." "Knox." "Dooley." "Got a report on some kind of fireball or something like that over on Liberty Island." "Check it out." "No way." "A fireball." "Cool." "We'll get right on it." "Sarge, can't you get somebody else to handle it?" "Come on, we just pulled an all-nighter." "I'm so sorry, Mr. Knox." "Tell you what." "Lay down in my office, and then I'll come by with your blankie, and you can get yourself a nice nap." "Come on, it's gonna be great." "A fireball?" "How often do we get a call like that?" "Do me a favor, okay?" "Act like a cop and stop caring." "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God, are you all right?" "Hello?" "Please don't be dead!" "Oh, did you see that?" "He came out of nowhere!" "It kind of looked like you sped up to hit him." "I was going for the parking spot!" "Oh, my God." "Oh, Jesus!" "Are you all right?" "Are you okay?" "Hello?" "Please say something." "Oh, my God, his foot!" "I'll call an ambulance!" "Oh, God." "Please stay alive, please stay alive, please stay alive, please stay alive." "This is such bad karma from..." "Where did he go?" "I don't know." "Mr. Guy?" "This will take some time." "Copy that." "All clear." "Repairs underway, sir." "Damage report." "Right Arm, all well." "Left Arm, ready." "Casualties, Doctor?" "Abrasions, contusions." "Nothing significant, Captain." "Engineering?" "Running diagnostics, sir." "Lieutenant Buttocks, what is your status?" "Captain, we had a small gas leak." "It was silent, but not deadly." "Well, crew, it seems our ship has survived the impact." "Actually, diagnostics are not encouraging, Captain." "This collision was unexpected, so our impact shields weren't activated." "How long can we operate at full capacity?" "Forty-eight Earth hours at most." "After that, system functions will fail." "And our tracking computer?" "Down, sir." "That means we only have the last known coordinates of the orb." "It can be anywhere within 10,000 square meters of our current location." "No. 2, Options?" "We could continue on the mission, sir, but it's extremely risky." "The prudent course would be to return to our home planet, Nil, and repair the ship." "Assemble the crew." "Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for an address by your esteemed captain!" "This is it." "This is the moment that we've all been training for." "We all know what's at stake." "Our planet is on the verge of a catastrophic energy crisis." "The device we sent to this world to drain its oceans has been knocked off course and is lost somewhere in this city." "Once it is found and deployed, the salt from this world shall power our home world for ages to come." "Without it, our people will perish in less than one generation." "I will not permit that to happen." "We must succeed." "For Nil." "For Nil." "For Nil." "For Nil." "Back to your posts." "No. 3." "Do we have sufficient linguistic information to help communicate with these natives?" "Yes." "I tapped into their central planetary databank, named "Google."" "What a frivolous name for such a vital function." "Well, if you prefer, there's another called "Yahoo! "" "Baffling." "What about..." "Cultural and historical references?" "Already on it, Captain." "Good." "No. 4, is security prepared?" "Yes, sir." "My team can handle any threat posed by these gargantuan savages." "Good." "lnitial reports confirm that draining this planet's oceans would have a catastrophic effect on existing life." "We have orders, No. 3." "Our entire home world is depending on us." "Agreed." "We should not lament the fates of these inferior creatures." "If the orb has fallen into their hands, who knows for what nefarious purpose they could be using it at this very moment?" "Mom, there's a drunk guy in the alley again!" "That's him." "Who?" "The guy I just hit with my car." "You're kidding." "Again?" "Oh, I barely clipped that other guy." "Sir, coronal gas readings just spiked." "The orb must be nearby." "Hello?" "Hello, sir, hi." "Hello?" "Hi, there." "Hello, sir?" "Hi, are you all right?" "Contact, everyone!" "Because you just ran off." "No. 1 7." "Return to the ship." "Copy." "I'm worried." "I really feel terrible about what just happened." "Can I call you an ambulance or something?" "Any medical attention for..." "For your foot?" "Your foot." "Our first verbal encounter." "Thank you for your concern." "Thank you for your concern." "It's way too high." "More bass!" "Thank you for your concern." "Level the frequency." "I'm all better now." "How hard did you hit this guy?" "It's time for you to go to school before you're late, okay?" "Mom..." "See how she squeezes the smaller one's skull despite his protests." "Stop!" "Stop!" "Such brutality!" "Go on." "Goodbye." "Stop!" "Hey, safety first." "And if those boys are after you, you tell me!" "I'm calling their parents." "Okay." "Would you like to come upstairs for a glass of water, maybe?" "Anything?" "I can help clean you up." "No, thank you." "I am fine." "I am in position." "Are you sure?" "Okay, but, see, that's not fine." "So, maybe you should come upstairs, or I can call an ambulance." "Sir, we cannot let her contact the authorities." "Agreed." "We will go in long enough to put her mind at ease." "Yes, I will accompany you." "Thank you for your hospitality." "Good." "The thing about my car is, you gotta pump the brakes." "I mean, I just got it back from the shop, and I'm seriously considering suing my mechanic, because that was just crazy about what happened." "Oh, sorry, right here!" "Oh, sorry, right here." "Hey." "Hey!" "How you doing?" "How are you?" "Good." "Good timing." "I got something for you." "Three tubes of cerulean blue." "I just ran out." "Hi." "Mark Rhodes." "Why does he thrust his arm towards us?" "Probably best to imitate him." "Hi." "Mark Rhodes." "Lefty, huh?" "Hey." "All right." "All right." "Okay." "All right." "All right." "Okay." "Thanks again." "Yeah." "We're going right inside." "All right, yeah." "Okay, here you go." "Sorry about the mess." "You know, this is sort of a workspace/home combo thingy, thing." "Right Arm." "This is unacceptable." "Sorry!" "The liquid shifts the equilibrium!" "I still seem to be a bit shaken up." "Oh, crap." "There, I feel much better now." "Oh, good!" "That is great." "Great news." "Good." "So then, you don't need to call your lawyer, or anything crazy like that, because that would be just pointless, wouldn't it?" "Good." "Oh, I'm Gina, by the way." "Gina Morrison." "And you are?" "Three?" "This is a list of the most common names on this planet." "My name is..." "Ming Chang." "Ming Chang?" "Sorry." "Sorry, you just struck me more like a Dave, or something." "Which happens to be my other name." "Dave Ming Chang?" "Dave Ming Chang." "Dave Ming Chang." "All right, well, Dave," "I feel just terrible about this whole thing, and I was gonna have some breakfast." "Would you like to join me?" "No, I really have to be going now." "Are you sure?" "I mean, I sort of have a rule that, when I hit somebody with my car," "I need to make them breakfast." "That was a joke." "So where are you from?" "Do you live around here?" "Yes, of course." "I am just a regular person from right here on Earth, just like you." "I just don't get out that much." "Yeah, judging from your suit, I'd say since about 1978." "Note, all-white apparel is not as standardized as we thought." "You late for a Bee Gees concert or something?" "The Bee Gees." "Barry, Robin and Maurice, the Brothers Gibb." "Winning ten Grammy awards and selling over 100,000,000 records." "Oh, you can tell by the way I use my walk" "I'm a woman 's man No time to talk" "Stayin ' alive" "Wow." "That's impressive love for the Bee Gees, man." "I'm sorry, I had no idea." "You know?" "Foot in the mouth." "Listen, do you mind whipping these up for me?" "That would be so great." "Just a little help." "I'm so used to making breakfast for Josh, and all he wants is waffles." "Anyway, he's off to school now." "Yeah, I don't know, he's got these bullies after him right now." "You don't have any kids, do you?" "I mean, you don't really seem like a kid person, but..." "Anyway, I just, I try to be there for him, but I don't really know how to deal with it, you know." "I'm just doing the single mom thing, and I'm so permissive of everything." "Oh, my God, I am talking your ear off." "All is well." "Okay, why don't you just take a seat?" "And I can finish this." "Here, you like ketchup?" "Oh, thank you." "You're welcome." "Refreshing." "I feel much better now." "That's a new one." "Oh, that's our cat, Boris." "I hope you're not allergic." "Are you?" "Cats." "Here we go, sir." "Boris, what are you up to?" "Captain." "Yes?" "Yes, my husband was a captain with the Navy." "I am a captain." "Really?" "A captain of what?" "I am a captain of crunch." "Where is your captain now?" "Frank died four years ago, so it's just me and Josh now." "It's been rough sometimes, but we're okay." "There is a strength to this one." "Captain, the orb!" "Where was this image captured?" "That's Josh at school, the science fair." "He always walks around with this thing." "See, he thinks it fell from outer space." "We must locate the boy." "We're on it, sir." "729 East 44th Street." "I really have to be going now." "Thank you for the ketchup." "Okay." "You know, the eggs are just another..." "That's the closet." "Sorry about hitting you with my car." "A couple of frat punks get drunk, miss the last ferry, stick a rag in their bottle of Stoli, and then, kaboom!" "Suddenly, my morning roll in the hay with Tracy gets canceled." "I think this is explosive residue." "Don't." "Don't do this, Dooley." "I see you getting interested in this." "I see that wacko X Files gleam in your eye." "That might be the boy, there!" "In that group of Earth children." "What structure is this?" "It appears to be some sort of shrine to technology." "This is the best they have to offer?" "Their mini-computers are gigantic!" "And a slamming home page means more online buddies." "Dude, while you're waiting, check these out." "Awesome surround-sound headphones." "Seven ounces, left and right quad." "The sound will blow you away." "Is that insane?" "It's like the subwoofers are actually inside your head." "Damage reports coming in from all parts of the ship, Captain!" "Sir!" "Structural integrity weakening!" "We have got to get out of here!" "The sign clearly indicates, "Do not walk."" "And yet, they keep walking and walking and walking!" "Apparently, chaos is the order of the day here." "Doctor, is Two all right?" "This is a big planet." "There might be contaminants we've never encountered before." "I'll keep an eye on it." "Why don't you take a picture?" "It lasts longer." "It's the ice cream man!" "Ice cream man, over here!" "lce cream!" "Hey, look, it's the Good Humor man!" "It's this suit again!" "How in Nil did we wind up with this wardrobe debacle?" "We must have missed something." "I can't see how, sir." "We carefully studied the only signal ever intercepted from Earth." "The plane!" "The plane!" "When we enter the boy's school, we must not draw any undue attention to ourselves." "Yes, we must rid ourselves of this inappropriate attire and replace it with clothing that is the epitome of both hip and now." "Welcome to Old Navy!" "Any ideas?" "Likely a ritual greeting, sir." "Welcome to Old Navy!" "Welcome to Old Navy!" "Welcome to Old Navy!" "Welcome to Old Navy!" "Welcome to Old Navy!" "Welcome to Old Navy." "Welcome to Old Navy!" "Welcome to Old Navy." "Can I help you find your size?" "I am obviously the same size as everyone else." "I just meant are you a small, or..." "I believe he simply wants to know the dimensions of your clothing." "Yes, you can help me find my size." "Welcome to Old Navy." "Crew, prepare for an unrehearsed maneuver." "Come on!" "What the..." "Sorry, sir!" "It won 't happen again!" "I can help you if you'd..." "How about I help you take that." "Very..." "Yes, this is my size." "Welcome to Old Navy!" "Excuse me." "Do you have a private chamber where I can try on these garments?" "Changing room back there behind hoodies." "Welcome to Old Navy." "Sir, we have arrived at the school." "This can't be right." "One singular sensation Every little step she takes" "Apologies, sir." "Apparently we are on West 44th Street." "One smile and suddenly nobody else will do" "Let's get out of here." "Double-time." "Hey!" "What do you got here, little freak?" "That's mine!" "What do you use it for, playing nerd-ball?" "Whatever it is, it's mine now." "Give it back!" "Or what?" "You gonna tell your mommy again?" "Can I help you?" "I am here for the fifth-grade classroom." "Okay, all right, you're very late, but you're here, at least." "It's been a madhouse." "Half the teachers are out with the flu." "I'm just gonna..." "I'm gonna have to throw you to the wolves." "Don't say a word." "I will mess you up." "Josh Morrison." "What are you doing here?" "Are you the sub?" "You would know the sub, loser!" "I don't know him!" "My mom hit him with her van!" "I am Dave Ming Chang, the sub." "What is your name?" "Smellmy." "Smellmy what?" "Smellmy Buttcrack." "I am sure the other Buttcracks would disapprove of your behavior." "You don't look like a teacher." "I'm going to report you." "Vaporize the child at once!" "Delay that order." "I am indeed your temporary instructor, which I shall prove to you now." "Observe." "Let's teach them something simple, shall we?" "What the..." "The unified field theory." "The ultimate pearl of wisdom in all of the universe." "Now you are educated." "What is your destination?" "I'm gonna sharpen my pencil." "Here, let me assist you." "There." "Thanks, I think." "Josh Morrison." "Come with me." "What are you doing here?" "You're not really the sub, are you?" "You have something that is mine." "It is a small spherical device, 2.7 inches in diameter." "How'd you hear about that?" "And how can it be yours if it came from outer space?" "Are you an alien?" "We've been compromised!" "I'm just messing with you." "That's very funny." "It's very important that I find it." "Do you know where it is?" "Let me guess." "It's, like, top secret or something." "Yes." "It is top secret or something." "Will you help us, I mean me, find it?" "Look, I don't have it anymore." "This jerk took it." "Well, we have to get it back." "Where is this jerk?" "His name is Rich." "Him and his buddies are probably headed for the deli." "Lead and I will follow." "Okay, come on." "Such disturbing images." "Rich isn't here." "Do you know where Rich lives?" "No, but sometimes I run into him in the neighborhood." "Everybody on the floor, now!" "Empty the register and no one gets hurt." "This planet continues to reveal its ugly nature." "It deserves its fate." "I said, on the floor, now!" "I am already on the floor." "Gravity prevents me from floating off of it." "Get down now!" "Big mistake, man." "Hey, you have forgotten your weapon!" "Dave, wait!" "That was awesome!" "I mean, you totally threw that guy across the room." "I was very fortunate not to be injured." "And the gun." "No normal person could have done that." "Do you have, like, superpowers or something?" "Do you know what would be very pleasant?" "If we were to change the subject of our conversation." "Did you see last night's sports competition?" "You see?" "There's another thing." "You talk so weird." "Come on, tell me, what's your secret?" "I have no secret." "Oh, yeah?" "Quick, where are you from?" "I am from right here in this city." "Where exactly?" "Give me an address." "The Statue of Liberty." "You live at the Statue of Liberty?" "Yes, the Ming Changs have lived at the Statue of Liberty for many generations." "Now, let us locate the orb." "Look, I don't know where Rich is now, but tomorrow's my mom's birthday." "We're going to our neighborhood street fair." "Everybody goes." "I'm sure he's gonna be there." "You know, if you want, you could come with me and my mom." "Sir, we can't wait until tomorrow." "Our power supply is dwindling." "This child is useless." "We must find the orb on our own." "I disagree." "Without guidance, we might not find it in time." "Contrary to expectations, Josh has been quite helpful to us." "We will stick with him." "Man, you are awesome at this!" "It's like you've got super video-game powers, too." "Are you sure you're not a superhero?" "Absolutely." "Fine, I give up." "I'm just happy to be able to play with somebody besides Mom." "Interacting with your mother makes you unhappy?" "Nah, I don't mean to complain." "She tries." "It's just that Dad was a lot better." "You know, my dad was a hero in real life." "He saved, like, a million people one time." "That is impressive." "Yeah, we miss him." "Especially Mom." "Now she spends all her time smothering me." "She cuts off your air supply?" "Josh, I'm home!" "Oh, hey!" "What are you doing back here?" "Some guys with a gun tried to rob the store, and Dave stopped them and saved everyone!" "lt was awesome!" "What?" "What gun?" "Mom, Mom." "Are you all right?" "Mom, I'm fine!" "It was so cool!" "Dave just took them out." "Man, I wish I could do that." "But look at me." "I'm the smallest fifth-grader in New York City." "You are not small." "You are a giant." "Yeah, right." "Josh, the most powerful force in all the universe often comes from the smallest star." "Dave?" "Would you like to stay for supper?" "Sir, the longer we're in their presence, the greater the danger of exposure." "Yes, I will stay." "Good." "Although, if you thought my driving was dangerous, wait till you try my meatloaf." "Meat Loaf?" "What are you looking for?" "I don't know." "I'll tell you when I find it." "You know something, Dooley?" "We gotta find you a new hobby." "Stevie, please just hold the insult." "Please." "Oh, I forgot today was Arts and Crafts Day." "Dave, would you mind helping me clear the table?" "You know, don't worry about it." "I got it." "I'm..." "This is something I do all the time." "I'm constantly dropping stuff." "Don't even worry about it." ""Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. "" "Yeah, that's my..." "I would..." "My sister got that for me." "I would never..." "She just thinks I need to get back in the game, and..." "Tell your sister there is no life on Mars!" "Believe me." "Okay." "This rendering." "What is it?" "That's just something I felt." "You felt this." "Yeah, I did." "I did." "I don't really paint like that anymore." "And why not?" "Well, things have changed." "And what is the feeling demonstrated here?" "Well, how does it make you feel?" "Feel?" "It makes me feel off-balance." "Off-balance, yeah." "That's..." "That's close." "I remember when I painted this, I just felt love." "Huge and exciting and crazy, just love." "How do you know when you feel love?" "Oh, I think when you feel love, you don't need to ask that question." "I see." "Time for me to exit into the night." "Okay." "Well, thank you again for being there for Josh today and..." "And, yeah, I think tomorrow will be fun." "I'm glad you're coming with us." "So am I, Gina Morrison." "Okay." "Good night, Dave." "Good night, Gina." "Do you mind if I rest here?" "Sure." "This appears to be a safe port." "We'll join this urban camper." "You ain't crazy, are you?" "The last guy was here, he said he was from outer space." "What planet?" "And the party continues." "Here." "Here you go." "Gets a little chilly at night." "Did you see that?" "This man has nothing, yet he offers to share his sole source of warmth." "Why?" "It seems they are a more complex species than we imagined." "Yes?" "My findings are incomplete, but I have noted more atypical behavior spreading throughout the ship." "Is that so?" "Well, I think we all just need a good night's rest, Doctor." "Dang!" "Excuse me?" "Working rather late, No. 3." "I was just doing some additional cultural research." "And what have you found?" "I stumbled onto an interesting file in the alien database, sir." "Every man, woman and child is forced to view it once a year." "It could be helpful in understanding them." "Show me." "You have not changed since our days at the Academy." "I remember the late nights studying together." "And the nutritious protein squares you prepared for us." "I would not have been able to graduate without your help." "And, yet, here you've become our generation's most renowned captain." "Yes." "Here it is." "What is it you want, Mary?" "What do you want?" "You want the moon?" "Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down." "Hey, that's a pretty good idea." "I'll give you the moon, Mary." "I'll take it." "Lasso the moon?" "Physically impossible!" "Absurd." "Good night, Captain." "Yes, Three, good night." "I must say, sir, these Earth creatures keep surprising me." "A most confusing place." "It makes my head spin." "I guess I'd better hold on, then." "I want to send this out to every precinct, every security company and every hospital in the city until we lD this guy right here." "This is incredible." "Just amazing." "Amazing that two idiots like you could've passed the police exam." "See?" "I tried to tell him, Sarge." "Hold on." "It is a fact, a fact, that something or someone has landed here." "Now, we could be making the biggest scientific discovery of all time." "I don't want to hear another word about E.T., Bigfoot or the Tooth Fairy, unless they're jacking some old lady's car." "You got that?" "Yes, sir." "That's good aim, Sarge." "Shut up!" "Dooley." "What are you doing?" "I'm sending it anyway, Knox." "No, it's just a guy who shoved his face in the dirt." "No, wrong." "It is an alien, an alien who shoved his face in the dirt, and I am gonna find him." "Power reserves at 20%, sir." "That only gives us about 12 hours." "Then every minute counts." "Remember our mission, crew." "We must find the boy with the orb." "No distractions." "This is not acceptable!" "And here we go, ladies and gentlemen." "Chuck starts off fast out of the gate, eating down those dogs, but Earl and Homer are right behind him." "Look at them go!" "Look at them go!" "Come on, Dave, eat!" "Dave, just put it in your mouth!" "What are you doing?" "Eat it!" "Just put one in your mouth, Dave!" "Put it in, come on, now!" "Dave!" "Dave, eat!" "You never should have signed him up for this." "What are you doing, Dave?" "Eat!" "Eat it, Dave!" "Put it in your mouth!" "Yeah, all right!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "A little heads-up might be nice!" "Hey!" "Can a brother get some hot sauce with that?" "Look at him go!" "Our champion!" "Eighty-five delicious all-beefhot dogs!" "Yeah!" "Yeah, boy!" "Yeah!" "Well executed, Captain." "Dave, that was amazing!" "You are a wiener-eating champ!" "And here's the grand prize." "We're under attack!" "It's the creature from Thanos 7!" "Battle stations!" "You have menaced us for the last time, you beast!" "It seems that this is an inanimate creature." "At ease!" "The question is, what are we expected to do with this plush amphibian?" "Give it to her, Captain." "The female." "Give it to her." "Silly goose." "You are such a goofball." "For me?" "Thanks, Dave." "That was..." "That's very sweet." "Red alert, Captain!" "Red alert!" "We need to dispose of the large quantity of processed meat tubes!" "Excuse me." "My colon is impacted." "Okay." "Show-off!" "Excuse me!" "Excuse me, we met yesterday." "Mark Rhodes." "Mark Rhodes?" "Right." "The left again." "Yeah." "So, you here by yourself?" "No, I am not." "I am accompanying Josh and Gina." "All evening we have been screaming with fear and delight." "Look, you and I should get something straight, and I'm not trying to step on your toes, here." "If you're serious about Gina, then that's great, because she deserves a decent guy in her life, but if I find out that you're just trying to take advantage of her, and you're using Josh to do it," "you and I are gonna have a serious problem." "You understand what I'm saying?" "Yes, I understand completely, Mark Rhodes." "Does anyone here understand what this man is talking about?" "He's trying to discern if you intend on becoming Gina's mate." "What an absurd notion!" "I intend on becoming Gina's mate?" "She's the size of our science pavilion." "These primitive creatures and their silly speculations!" "Wait!" "What's that?" "What do you want, midget?" "Rich, you gotta give me my rock back." "Oh, really?" "Why?" "Because it's really important to me and my friend, Dave." "It's the jerk we seek!" "Rich, you've gotta give me my rock back!" "Boy, it's like you're asking me to punch you!" "So, Smellmy, we meet again." "Dave." "Stop!" "You're giving me a wedgie!" "Stop!" "Please put me down, already!" "Smellmy, are you crying because you are sad or because your undergarments are lodged so cuttingly deep in your rectum?" "I'm telling my mom." "Mom!" "Mom!" "Dave, that was unbelievable!" "High-five!" "They don't high-five where you're from?" "No, but they should." "There you two are!" "What kind of trouble you getting into?" "Nothing." "Dave was just about to try out his pitching arm!" "Come on, Dave." "Go, Dave!" "Go, Dave!" "You just gotta hit three." "Here we go." "Come on!" "Come on, come on!" "Go, Dave!" "Go, Dave!" "Sir, the orb is ours." "This charade is no longer necessary." "It's time to throw it in the ocean and head home." "You're absolutely right, Two, but I really think I can do this." "He looks very serious." "Looking good, looking good." "Come on, you can do it!" "Here we go." "He's gonna do it!" "Wind up!" "All right, well..." "Spectacularly unsuccessful!" "Why was my wrist so limp?" "I was in the bathroom." "On my command." "Come on, you can hit it." "Two more." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "Fire!" "Incoming!" "Engineer, report!" "All sensors are down and the sun shields deployed upon impact." "Sir, we're blacked out." "The sun is exploding in my face!" "I still haven't got a pulse." "Give me the paddles, stat." "Oh, God." "Don't watch." "Clear!" "Come on." "Give me more juice." "Clear!" "Power has been restored." "Oh, thank God!" "Oh, God, is he gonna be okay?" "We'll do an mri just to be safe." "He's okay." "He's okay." "How we doing?" "I have to warm it up first, but just to double-check, they took your keys, watch, coins?" "Yes." "Good." "'Cause people always forget the "M " in mri stands for "magnetic."" "This'll just take a second." "I guess I still have a few pennies." "I'm so sorry to have ruined your birthday." "Thanks for letting the cat out of the bag." "Cat?" "Where's the cat?" "You know, it's okay, because I'm not really one for celebrating anyway." "Well, perhaps you will reconsider and let us take you out for dinner." "Yeah." "Sir, with all due respect, have you lost your mind?" "They've helped us." "The least we can do is try to help them." "You have become a fool!" "Treating these lumbering giants as if they're our equals." "You've made a mockery of our entire mission!" "You get out of my face." "Now!" "Dave?" "Dave?" "Hello?" "Right here." "Hey, where'd you go?" "I am here." "I'm so curious sometimes, what's going on in that head of yours." "I was just pondering which would be the best place to take you to commemorate your birthday." "Josh, do you have any suggestions?" "Perhaps a nice Cuban place?" "I know a great salsa restaurant." "All right, well, si, amigos, let's go party." "Everyone!" "We're going to go and party!" "Okay, three mojitos, one virgin." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Thank you." "There you go." "You enjoy." "Cheers." "Happy birthday, Mom." "Thank you." "Now, careful." "These go straight to your head." "This is not acceptable!" "Slow down, cowboy." "This is the best!" "Cougar46 just added me as a friend." "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "He walked out about an hour ago with a nice-looking lady and a kid." "Oh, really?" "Nice-looking?" "She pretty hot?" "Please!" "Please." "You sure it's him?" "Absolutely." "Said they were going to a Cuban salsa place." "You gotta try this." "It's like space travel, only in your head." "I've been having strange feelings since we've arrived on this planet." "lt seems you are, too?" "Absolutely not." "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm recalibrating our weapon systems." "Just a second." "Exactly what weapon are you recalibrating?" "Okay, let's talk." "I'm feeling a little busted." "You know, pretty soon you're gonna be too old to dance with your mom." "Excuse me while I run to the restroom." "Josh." "I will be going home soon." "What is the matter with you?" "When you're gone, everything's just gonna go back to the way it was." "I'm not like other kids." "I can't even fight for myself." "My dad was a hero." "But me?" "I'm just different." "Josh, listen to me." "We would never have been able to find the orb without you." "Not everyone would have helped us, but you did." "Because you are different." "I am very lucky to have a friend like you." "You're just saying that." "No, I am not." "You have helped us greatly." "We are all in great debt to you." "I did?" "Yes." "We are saved, Josh." "She thinks she's so hot." "She's not hot." "Have you seen her butt?" "It's like the size of our moon." "You are so bad." "Bad and gorgeous!" "Okay, another one." "I took the liberty." "I love this song." "Need anything, Captain?" "Yes, I may need some music references for..." "Dave, will you do me the honor?" "Come on!" "It'll be fun." "Yes, yes, I would, I'd love to dance with you." "You're gonna love it!" "Here, it's really easy." "Just let the music take you." "All hands, stay alert, and obey my commands to the letter." "Captain, might I have a word?" "Make it brief." "There are emotional dangers on this planet we did not foresee." "We are on the brink of anarchy." "Not now." "I'm trying to let the music take me!" "All right, crew, everyone, let's get it together, now!" "All together!" "Precision!" "Right foot!" "Left foot!" "Okay." "Here, just follow my lead." "We should be fulfilling our mission, trying to save our planet, not leaping around like some sort of idiot, attempting to woo a gigantic strumpet!" "This captain has become a joke." "This is over the line, sir." "The Captain still deserves our respect." "Shake my hips like this!" "More hips!" "Hips!" "Yes, that's it!" "More hips!" "Look, I'm dancing!" "All right, I'm in." "The dancing stops now." "Here, here." "Hand here." "Okay?" "I need more wiggle in the posterior region!" "Captain, if I may?" "You think that you can do better?" "Nothing personal, sir, but that won't be hard." "Take charge." "Okay, boys and girls, everybody listen up!" "You're gonna give me a basic, stepping forward with the left and back with the right." "Don't bounce, and do not over think it." "We're gonna put your accoutrements right up against her." "Drop down." "This is salsa, people." "Let's make it spicy!" "Follow me!" "I knew you were holding out on me." "Come on, come on, girl." "I'm about to show you how to do the forbidden dance." "It's my birthday!" "And dip her, like a cookie in milk." "I feel good." "I feel loose." "I feel good." "I feel loose." "I feel good." "Hey!" "Freeze!" "Everybody, stay calm." "Hands up." "Hands up!" "Should we power up blasters?" "No." "Too many innocent civilians." "Easy, folks, easy." "Step back, please." "Dave?" "Hey, welcome to Earth." "Greetings." "We don't want to hurt you." "We don't want to hurt you." "We're you're friends." "All we want to know is why you've come down to our planet." "Oh, for God sake." "Stay calm." "They can't prove anything." "What is your purpose here?" "What is your purpose here?" "The mystery is what your purpose here is." "Okay, you know what?" "I'm trying to do a thing, and you're not helping me out, so please stop." "Greetings!" "No. 2, what are you doing?" "You can't do this, Two." "Excuse me?" "We're playing by my rules now, Ex-Captain!" "Seize him!" "You cannot do this, No. 2!" "Can, and will." "You brought this on yourself." "What are we supposed to do?" "You do what you took an oath to do and protect me, your captain, Four." "Stay back, Four." "I don't want to see anyone get hurt." "You'll never get away with this, Two." "The rest of the crew will not support you!" "Oh, yes, they will." "Because they have a mission to complete." "Three, you're supporting this?" "Yes, I see no other way." "That's because there is no other way." "Whoa, who left the speaker on?" "Shut that off!" "Officer Dooley, can I speak to you outside?" "Just for a minute." "You will regret this." "Something has been awakened in all of us." "Something you will never be able to stop." "Looks like I just did." "Confine him to his quarters!" "Attention, crew!" "As of this moment, un-Nilian behavior will no longer be permitted." "In fact, it will be punished." "Severely." "A new era has begun, with me as your leader." "You know, we just met him a couple days ago," "like I've said five times." "Hey." "Hey!" "You guys all right?" "Yes." "It's been a long night." "What do they want with him?" "I don't know." "He didn't do anything wrong!" "Stand and engage blasters!" "Sir?" "I gave you an order." "Yes, sir." "Did you not just hear those voices?" "Yes, I heard the voices." "Wow, we got a nutjob living in New York City." "What are the odds?" "So what are you saying?" "We should just let him go?" "Yes, I think we should let him go!" "That's exactly what I'm saying!" "That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my entire life!" "Hey!" "Activate heat shields." "Freeze!" "Look out!" "This guy's crazy!" "Somebody about to get killed!" "I'm out!" "Son of a..." "Take cover!" "You, woman and child, you have wasted enough time with your pathetic emotional distractions." "Dave?" "Your undisciplined human frailty causes nothing but chaos!" "And one other thing, your so-called artwork is both pretentious and sophomoric." "I could do this all day." "Freeze!" "Three, find me the fastest route to the landing site." "Three, I..." "Guards!" "No. 12!" "Have you been working out?" "You can tell?" "No." "Yes." "Thank you, Three." "I didn't do this to help you." "I did this to stop that lunatic!" "What have I done to hurt you so?" "You really can't be that oblivious!" "Listen to me." "Whatever I have done to hurt you, I apologize, but right now we have to get to the engine room" "and shut down the ship!" "Fine!" "Let's just go." "What in Nil is your problem?" "Are you all right, Josh?" "Mom, I'm fine, but something's wrong." "That can't be Dave!" "You have to trust me." "We need to go after him." "No, Josh, we're not doing that." "I know you want to protect me." "Of course." "But Dave is my friend, and I need to protect him right now." "Josh." "lf we don't help him, something terrible's gonna happen." "I know it!" "I was just making conversation to ease the apparent tension between us." "Don't." "You're making it worse." "You know what..." "No. 3, didn't take you long to betray me." "This is not the answer, Two!" "You weren't Nilian enough to do your duty," "so you left me no choice." "Listen to reason." "We thought that Earth was not worth preserving." "We were wrong." "There's much we've learned from this place." "We must not hurt these people!" "Yes, we must!" "And since you two seem to love these gargantuan beasts so much, have fun living among them." "I have a little tickle in my nose." "Follow me!" "No, follow me!" "Three, I'm so sorry that you're out here with me." "Not half as sorry as I am!" "Please, we'll have the entire journey back home to argue." "This may not be the best spot, sir." "And why not?" "Mother of Nil!" "Three!" "I'm coming, Three." "Don't move." "Great advice, Captain." "Because I can't!" "Are you all right, Three?" "Please!" "You have no concern for me." "All you care about is Gina, your big, fat girlfriend!" "You think that she's fat?" "If she wears a size infinity, then she's fat!" "It takes me almost getting run over for you to even notice me!" "I'm practically invisible to you!" "Invisible?" "Quite the opposite." "When I look at you, what I see is the ship!" "I love New York." "Let's go!" "Trust me, Three." "Jump!" "It's working!" "You see?" "Just as I planned!" "Look, if we let go at precisely the right moment, we'll be propelled to the ship." "On three." "One, two, three!" "Three." "I asked for you to be assigned to this mission because you are kind, intelligent and beautiful, more so than anyone I've ever known in my life." "And without you," "I would be nothing." "Why have you never spoken to me of this before?" "Because I was too Nilian to express it." "I should have lassoed the moon for you long ago." "But now let's turn the ship around." "We'll never get there at this rate." "Give me full power to the legs!" "I told you." "Our power is nearly depleted." "Crew, prepare to hail a cab!" "Taxi!" "What?" "An alien cannot get a cab in this town?" "Hey, buddy!" "This is my cab!" "What are you doing?" "Liberty Island Ferry." "Make haste or die." "Yes, every available cop in the city, and the Feds." "I knew it." "I knew it, I knew it!" "I knew we were not alone in this universe." "Look, I'm not convinced he's an alien." "Oh, you're not?" "So what?" "So what?" "So, who you calling?" "Homeland Security." "Don't do that." "They're gonna overreact!" "We don't even know why he's visiting yet." "Well, it's obviously not a peace mission!" "Get those big slobbery lips away from me!" "And while you suckers are sitting here talking, he about to go suck your planet dry!" "I need somebody from Homeland Security, please." "I don't have the extension." "Are you with Dave?" "No." "No, no." "I come free with a venti latte." "Of course I'm with Dave, stupid!" "I need..." "Hey, you got a comment?" "No." "I need the extension from you guys because I don't have it." "Do you know where he went?" "Yes, I do." "I need a ride, though." "Okay." "Well, what you waiting for?" "Okay." "Wait, wait, wait." "Don't be shaking me." "Sorry." "I apologize." "Don't be blowing on me!" "I don't know you that well!" "Slow down." "Slow." "Wait." "Wait, wait." "Wait, I said slow down now!" "Wait, it's dark in here." "I'm in." "Please, hurry." "Dooley, where you going?" "Hey, Sarge, you got a little schmutz right here." "Shut up!" "How many tickets you got?" "I've never been caught speeding." "In New York." "This year." "Long live Nil." "Sorry, Earth." "Sometimes No. 2 happens!" "Captain!" "Thank goodness you're back." "No. 2's become a raging lunatic." "Not to worry, kind friend." "I'm back, and I'm taking over." "Welcome, Captain." "Right Arm!" "What the devil is this?" "Someone's overriding the system!" "Only the Captain has the code to..." "The Captain!" "You are in my chair!" "Guards!" "Put down your weapons." "Seize him!" "Guards, I said seize him!" "You've seen what a fool he's been!" "We all know I am the only one qualified to get us home." "Is this what you want?" "This chaos?" "We choose our Captain." "This planet rocks." "Deal with it." "Get out of my chair." "Captain, the orb is in the water." "The siphoning process is getting stronger by the minute." "Right Arm, summon the orb." "Captain, the fight drained our power below 1 %." "I can re-route booster energy, but there won't be enough for take-off." "Well, Captain, it seems you have a choice." "Save this planet or save yourself." "I choose this planet." "And what of your beloved crew?" "Are you willing to condemn them to the same fate?" "Stranded here in a world of behemoths?" "I believe it is the right thing to do, but I cannot make this decision for all of you." "I say we save Earth." "And its moon." "My life began on this planet." "I no longer feel like No. 3." "I am Dave Ming Chang." "I have 443 new friends on MySpace and a JDate next week with a woman named Sheila Moskowitz." "I am Dave Ming Chang." "I am Dave Ming Chang." "I am Dave Ming Chang." "I am Dave Ming Chang." "I am Dave Ming Chang." "I am Dave Ming Chang." "I am Johnny Dazzles, and I am fabulous!" "What?" "Not everybody has to be Dave Ming Chang." "You've all gone completely mad!" "Take him and put him in my butt." "Engineer, divert all remaining power to Right Arm." "Way to go, Right Arm!" "Yes!" "Dave!" "Are you okay?" "Dave!" "What is happening?" "How can we help you?" "Thank you, but it is too late." "We are out of power." "We'll never get back now." "It is over." "Hands behind your head!" "Understand?" "Step away from that thing!" "No!" "Hey!" "Let us handle this, folks, okay?" "You don't need your guns, all right?" "Don't hurt him!" "We're not gonna hurt anybody." "We're just gonna talk." "Dooley, enough!" "You've seen what that thing can do." "Hands behind your head!" "Captain, with no shield and no power, the projectile from his weapon will breach the hull." "We'll take casualties." "He can't move!" "He doesn't have any power left!" "Hands behind your head!" "He can't move!" "Josh!" "Kid!" "Josh!" "We have power." "We have been saved." "All hail Josh the hero!" "Stay right where you are!" "Yeah, if you're trying to freak me out, it's not gonna work." "All right, that's gonna freak me out a little." "Do you see that?" "I do." "ls that a guy?" "Looks like it." "Like a really little guy?" "Like a really little guy." "On his tongue?" "What'd I just say?" "Hello." "You, you see that, right?" "There's a little guy in there?" "He's talking." "Yeah." "Dave." "I apologize to all of you." "It was my second-in-command who took control of my ship by force, and it was he, not I, who performed these unspeakable acts of cruelty." "Will you put that thing down?" "Would you please?" "I mean, the guy's an inch tall." "You look like a wuss." "Right?" "Josh, my friend." "You helped save two worlds today." "And you taught me the true meaning of friendship and courage." "Your father would have been proud of his young captain." "Promise me you'll always take pride in being different." "I promise." "High-five." "Perhaps that's not such a great idea." "Gina." "Yeah." "Yeah, hi." "You're, you're really tiny." "And I should have known you were an alien, because no straight man is that good a dancer." "I think I'm finally able to understand how your painting makes me feel." "I feel love." "Okay, I guess she's not that fat." "Told you." "Hey!" "Hey, man!" "Hey, don't forget about me!" "Yeah!" "I'm not trying to stay in here!" "You squeezing my brain!" "You're gonna make it pop!" "Stop!" "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." "Hey, slow down." "I don't want you messing up my sexy." "Okay." "Easy." "Almost, almost, almost, almost." "Okay." "Hey!" "Yeah." "Yeah, that, that look good." "Time for us to go home." "I'll miss you, Dave." "And I you." "Remember, I'll never be that far away, good friend." "A little room, please." "What?" "No!" "Dave!" "fbi!" "Out of the way!" "Move, move, move!" "No!" "Hey, what is going on?" "Mom, look!" "He's okay." "I didn't think we'd make it out of there." "Good thing you have such big feet, Captain." "We'll have much to explain when we return home." "We'll find another way to save Nil." "There are plenty of worlds out there for us to explore." "Yes, No. 3." "But what we learned on Earth is more valuable than all the salt in the galaxy." "And when we do return, it looks like I'll be needing a new No. 2." "I think you'll be needing more than that." "Yeah, Captain!" "Get in there, Captain!" "Cue the new anthem."
