Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs Page #2

Synopsis: Flint Lockwood thinks he's a genius. But none of the things he invented are things that make sense or are useful. However, he has the support of his mother but when she dies, he's left alone with his father who thinks he should give it up. When the community that he lives in is in an economic crisis because their primary source of income, a sardine cannery, was shut down, Flint decides to try his latest invention, a machine that can turn water into food. But something goes wrong and the machine ends up in the atmosphere. Later it starts raining food. The shifty mayor tries to use this as a way to help their community, but when Flint senses something wrong with the machine, the mayor convinces him to ignore it. However, as Flint predicts, chaos ensues.

What are you doing, Flint Lockwood?

Just holding my hands

behind my back respectfully, sir.

-You know what you are, Lockwood?

- No.

A shenaniganizer.

A tomfool.

-You see my beautiful angel son Cal?

-What's up?

I love him so much.

This is my only son.

I want him to have a bright future.

A future in which you don't ruin

our town's day...

...with one of your

crazy science thingies.

- Well, that's all behind me- -

- You see this contact lens, Lockwood?

-This contact lens represent you.

-All right.

-And my eye represents my eye.

-Okay.

I got my eye on you.

-Oh, my gosh, a jaywalker.

-Hey.

And I've arranged for live coverage

from a major network...

...and their most experienced

professional reporter.

Oh, just send the intern.

She's cute, and she's super perky.

Well, those are the only things we look

for in a TV weatherperson. Intern.

How would you like to do a weather

report from a rinky-dink island...

...in the middle of the ocean

as a favor to my cousin?

Really?

Can you believe it, Manny?

Temporary

professional meteorologist.

Okay, Manny, what about this?

Welcome, America,

I'm Sam Sparks.

Hello, America, Sam Sparks here.

America, hi. I didn't see you there.

It's me, Sam Sparks.

On my way across the ocean.

Now, when she gets here,

I wanna see a lot of smiling faces.

Act like, "Hey, whoa."

This is a great idea.

Weather News Network.

Weather news happens...

...or not.

Now we're over to Swallow Falls...

...where our intern

is on her first day on the job.

Or should I say, first gray on the job.

Looks pretty cloudy there, intern.

Hello, Sam Sparks, I'm America.

It's Swallow Falls degrees and--

Well, let's just go to the mayor.

Thank you and welcome,

national television audience.

You are about to witness

an historic event, undoubtedly....

And now, here to cut

the ceremonial ribbon...

...Swallow Falls' favorite son,

Baby Brent!

He's still got it, folks.

Yeah.

I'm the best person

in the whole town.

Food synthesis, go.

My chest hairs are tingling.

Something's wrong.

Well, here it is. The attraction

the whole world has been waiting for:.

Sardine Land.

With rides and exhibits.

And featuring Shamo,

the world's largest sardine...

...and his flaming hoop of glory.

Those of you in the splash zone,

look out.

Yeah.

Cheeseburger.

Flint Lockwood.

Just a second.

I'm in the middle of a- -

Well, looks like things in Swallow Falls

are sardine to get better. For--

What just happened to me?

Sorry.

No.

You're under arrest, Flint Lockwood.

Thank goodness you only caused

minimal damage to Sardine Land.

Come on.

I really shouldn't be running

with these.

Jump, jump, jump, run, run,
