Meet Dave Page #3

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.

Stayin'alive

Wow. That's impressive

love for the Bee Gees, man.

L'm sorry, l had no idea.

You know? Foot in the mouth.

Listen, do you mind

whipping these up for me?

That wouldbe so great. Just a little help.

L'm so used to making breakfast for Josh,

and all he wants is waffles.

Anyway, he's off to school now.

Yeah, l don't know,

he's got these bullies after him right now.

You don't have any kids, do you?

L mean, you don't really seem

like a kid person, but...

Anyway, l just, l try to be there for him,

but l don't really know

how to deal with it, you know.

L'm just doing the single mom thing,

and l'm so permissive of everything.

Oh, my God, l am talking your ear off.

-All is well.

-Okay, why don't you just take a seat?

And l can finish this.

Here, you like ketchup?

-Oh, thank you.

-You're welcome.

Refreshing. l feel much better now.

That's a new one.

Oh, that's our cat, Boris.

l 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.

-l am a captain.

-Really? A captain of what?

L am a captain of crunch.

-Where is your captain now?

-Frank died four years ago,

so it's just me and Josh now.

Lt'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.

L 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.

L think this is explosive residue.

Don't. Don't do this, Dooley.

l see you getting interested in this.

L see that wacko XFiles gleam in your eye.

That might be the boy, there!

ln that group of Earth children.

What structure is this?

Lt 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.

Ls that insane?

Lt'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."
