We Are Not Alone Page #2

Synopsis: Warners' publicity releases, intended for newspapers,on this film state that Paul Muni worked closely with James Hilton on the adaptation of Hilton's book for this film. Given that most publicity releases of the time (and also now) are best when taken with several grains of salt, this may or may not be true: Dr. David Newcome lives with his wife Jessica and son Gerald in the small English town of Calderbury. Jessica, conventional and somewhat stupid, is unable to understand the sensitive little boy and her stern, unsympathetic discipline aggravates Gerald's nervousness. The doctor is called to care for Leni, an Austrian dancer stranded in England, who has tried to commit suicide, and he decides she is just the person to hire as a governess for Gerald based on, evidently, no logic at all but it does move the plot. Jessica learns the true story of Leni's background and demands she be discharged. Dr. Newcome arranges to have Leni enrolled in a music school. Gerald, being sent away to stay

Edward? - Yes!

I'm giving you the count of ten...

Ten...

nine...

eight...

seven...

six...

five...

four...

three...

two... one... boom.

Where are you going?

- Home.

I thought you didn't have one.

Well, thanks for saving my life

and all that.

You're my knight in shining armor,

okay?

Now get lost.

Well, then...

You know...

sometimes...

life can get a little rough...

Anyway, I'm sure that

tomorrow morning you'll feel...

much much better.

Are you one of those people who

believe that life is a wonderful gift?

That everything

works out in the end?

This is the end.

What do you mean,

"this is the end"?

The end of the world is coming.

When? Now?

"On the day when the planets

align, side by side...

"Then, the time of the fifth Sun

will come to an end..."

It's a phenomenon that occurs

once every 5,026 years.

It comes out a week from now.

Precisely.

It's okay. When Galileo Galilei

said the Earth was round

they all thought he was crazy

and no one believed him, either.

He didn't say that

the Earth was round,

he discovered that the Earth

revolves around the Sun.

And no one believed him.

What, a flood?

A plague? Global war?

Yes.

Good to know.

Now I have something

to look forward to.

Good night, Edward.

Go away!

I'm sorry, but...

I'm not allowed to let you stay here

after closing time.

There's Chinese food

in the fridge.

You?

- No.

Chicken and Sichuan beef.

It's from yesterday.

This?

No...

I don't know them.

What?

I'm just watching over the place.

Wow.

- Yes.

You know what that makes you?

- No.

The only person in the world

who guards 24 hours a day.

Oh, yeah? Thanks.

What is this?

Do you collect shoes, Eddie? - No.

No, no, no...

Don't touch that.

Don't touch that.

- Sorry.

Sorry, Mrs. Imelda Marcos.

- It's all right.

What's your trip, Eddie?

Uh... My trip...

Are you an astronomer?

- No.

Astrologer? - No.

- Astronaut. - Mm.

Are you looking for the stars to

align or are you just staring at...

the next-door neighbor's tits?

- At... the stars above.

Yes...

I'm onto you, Eddie.

I understand it all.

You're a creature

from another planet.

"Eddie phone home"

You can sleep on the couch.

I usually sleep on the couch, but I

don't mind sleeping on the floor.

What's wrong with the bedroom?

It's not permitted...

Well? Are you coming?

What are you doing?

Let's get this over with.

Get over with what?

I don't even know your name,

and here you are... naked.

May. Like the month.

Pleased to meet you.

So... Good night...

May.

Good night.

If everything goes as planned,

you land on Easter Island...

On May 23rd, at 12 noon,

just as you requested.

One way, right?

Right.
