- Would you like some tea?

- No, thanks.

Mr. Gonzo, your people have been trying

to reach you.

My people? Are they fish too?

We're not the same as you.

We are highly evolved beings.

Now, if...

What was I saying?

My people.

- Oh, yes.

- Excellent.

Mow the lawn if you wish to

find what you seek.

I should mow the lawn?

A lawn that is cut

in your own words, Gonzo.

- A message that can be seen from space.

- Space!

So trim it well.

Goodbye, Gonzo.

And may the fish be with you.

Thanks, guys, forthe cosmic knowledge.

Goodbye, Mr. Gonzo.

That's it!

Come on, Rizzo. Time to bet, okay.

All right, prawn cracker.

I'll see your Maryland crab cakes...

...and I'll raise you

a 1958 cheddar cheese...

...never been sniffed.

- Crab cakes and cheese?

- Can't beat that.

Hey, guys!

The cosmic fish have spoken to me.

I'm from outer space!

Yeah, yeah, that's great.

- Pepe, are you in or out?

- I'm in.

I'm an alien!

You been tap-dancing

on your barbecue?

No, no, Rizzo. I'm just fine.

My cards!

Somebody get a fire extinguisher!

Are you sure you're okay?

Absolutely. But I have to respond.

Gotta make contact.

Where's he going?

Who cares? Flying saucer, maybe.

Dos deuces.

The prawn crackerwins.

Pair of twos! I swear,

I had four aces. I really did.

You got to know when to hold it

Know when to fold it

Just a few things fortoday,

sir.

Here's a winner.

Your Platinum Buns workout tape.

And let's see...

That new satellite photo is here...

...my Captain Kangaroo pajamas...

- What?

What satellite photo?

"I am here."

Mowed in the lawn.

Who did this?

This is not good.

Poor guy. He's hallucinating.

Getting weird messages.

Hearing things.

He listens to voices

and does what they say.

Hold your horseshoes.

I think I've got an idea.

You're scary.

I have to call Luft.

Wait. Careful.

Careful.

Baby steps.

Baby steps.

We need more evidence.

More evidence.

Remember, we're just watching.

Watching.

- And waiting.

- Waiting.

Build it and we will come.

Build what?

Build a Jacuzzi...

...and we will come, okay.

I'm up. I'm up.

Must build Jacuzzi.

- Well done, pal.

- Gracias, amigo.

Put a little more paprika

on those, okay? Thank you.

Well, that's everything.

- He built it.

- And we came!

Remember, I built this new

Jacuzzi for my alien family...

...so no eating in the spa.

We gotta tell him the truth, Pepe.

You tell him...

...and I will smack you.

I will smack you like

a bad, bad donkey, okay.

- Sal.

- Yeah, Johnny.

There are no cannolis.

Yeah, but try this cake.

This is a beauty.

That is nice. Would you...

Gonzo!

Go easy on the buffet, fellas.

I just want...

Who cut the cake? Who cut the cake?
