Planet 51 Page #2

Synopsis: Lem is just an average teenager working on getting the girl and furthering his career at the local planetarium - except that he's an alien. At least to U.S. astronaut Captain Charles T. Baker who lands on Lem's planet hoping for a quick flag plant and a hasty return to earth and his millions of screaming fans. But on this alien planet the media has tagged spacemen as brain-eating, zombie-creating monsters, causing Baker to run for his life and into Lem's house. Now it's up to the green native to get the clumsy astronaut back to his spaceship before military dictator General Grawl and mad scientist Professor Kipple manage to exterminate the Earthly visitor.

The girl of

my dreams likes me?

This is the best

day of my life.

Yeah, we got to see

that kid throw up.

(HUMMING HAPPILY)

Hey, he did it!

He got the job!

Oh, we're so

proud of you.

(LAUGHS)

I hear it's just one easy step

up to Senior Assistant Curator.

(DOOR OPENS)

# Oh, my love

# My darling

# I've hungered

for your touch #

(EXCLAIMS)

Come on, soldier.

Hey, Neera.

Hey, Lem.

I wanted to tell you,

I got the job.

Hey, Neera! I've been

(SURPRISED) You've

The cause needs you.

The what?

The cause.

Glar's involved with something

he calls "protesting."

It's like when you shout about

stuff that makes you upset.

Yeah, like our

school pictures.

Why do they have

to be of our faces?

I mean,

what a bummer.

That means

it's not good.

Neera, we need you!

Righteous momma!

Oh, I'm so honored,

but Lem was about

to ask me something.

Yeah? Man, what do you want to ask her?

It's kind of

private.

No problemo, man!

I mean, I totally

respect that.

(HESITANTLY)

So, Neera...

(SINGING LOUDLY) # Neera and

Lem had a private conversation

# And don't want

anybody else around #

Uh, yeah, you know,

we can talk later.

Okay.

Peace.

That means,

"See you later."

(LAUGHING GOOFILY)

Bye!

Bye.

Oh! "The cause, man."

I'd like to cause him

some pain.

(GRUNTS IN PAIN)

I don't want to hear

a single bubble.

(FARTS)

Especially you,

Bubbles.
