Meet Dave Page #2

Synopsis: A spaceship shaped like a human lands face first on Liberty Island. Its crew (of tiny, intelligent, and unemotional beings) is looking for an orb sent from its planet to extract the oceans' salt, which will ruin Earth. The orb is in the possession of Josh, the fifth-grade son of a single mom whose car strikes the ambulatory alien spaceship and cripples its power supply. The crew has 48 hours to recover the orb, throw it in the Atlantic, and leave Earth. Over the course of two days, the ship's crew experiences chaos and emotion in New York. Do Earth's giants - Josh and his mom - have anything to teach these brainy aliens? Meanwhile, mutiny is afoot and the cops are closing in.

Would you like to come upstairs for

a glass of water, maybe? Anything?

L can help clean you up.

No, thank you. l am fine.

Lam in position.

Are you sure?

Okay, but, see, that's not fine.

So, maybe you should come upstairs,

or l 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, l will accompany you.

Thank you for your hospitality.

Good.

The thing about my car is,

you gotta pump the brakes.

L mean, l just got it back from the shop,

and l'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.

l got something for you.

Three tubes of cerulean blue.

-l 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.

-Allright.

-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 !

-l still seem to be a bit shaken up.

-Oh, crap.

-There, l 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, l'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,

l feel just terrible about this whole thing,

and l was gonna have some breakfast.

Would you like to join me?

-No, l really have to be going now.

-Are you sure?

L mean, l sort of have a rule that,

when l hit somebody with my car,

l need to make them breakfast.

That was a joke.

So where are you from?

Do you live around here?

Yes, of course. l am just a regular

person from right here on Earth,

just like you.

L just don't get out that much.

Yeah, judging from your suit,

l'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 tellby the way l use my walk

l'm a woman's man No time to talk
