What Planet Are You From? Page #2

Synopsis: A highly advanced civilization, whose citizens feel no emotion and reproduce by cloning, plans to conquer Earth from the inside by sending an operative, fashioned with a humming, mechanical penis, to impregnate a human and stay until the birth. The alien, Harold Anderson, goes to Phoenix as a banker and sets to work finding a mate. His approaches to women are inept, and the humming phallus doesn't help, but on the advice of a banking colleague, he cruises an A.A. meeting, meets Susan, and somehow convinces her to marry him. The clock starts to tick: will she conceive, have a baby, and lose Harold (and the child) to his planet before he discovers emotion and starts to care?

It's either a flock of geese,

a weather balloon...

...or if it's Friday,

the crew is drunk.

Nadine, what'd I say

about using this number?

I said never to call this number

unless the house is on fire...

...and I don't hear a siren,

so this better be good.

Yeah, I know today's our anniversary.

What makes you think I forgot?

How do you know I'm not coming home

with a bunch of flowers or something?

How do you know that?

Nadine, don't cry.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

A passenger shot some video

when the incident took place.

You might want to look at it.

Get a list of passengers and crew.

Check the cabin, write your report.

And if you see anything at all

interesting, just remember:

It's not.

Well, Christmas is early this year.

You guys twins?

A**hole.

Can you contribute to the mission?

What can I get for 150 bucks,

gorgeous?

What's that noise?

I don't hear anything.

It's coming from your pants.

There's something else that comes out

of my pants. Want to see?

Keep the change.

- Can I have your autograph?

- What?

- You are Miss America, aren't you?

- Yeah.

Who are you? Mr. Universe?

Hey, where you headed?

Chicago.

That's attractive.

The Windy City.

So what time's your flight?

Forty minutes.

I don't know what you're doing

until then...

...but there's a Hilton

across the street.

I don't know if they have

a 40-minute rate or not, but...

...maybe we could...

Taxi!

- I know who you are.

- You do?

I know where you're from too.

Really?

New guy from Seattle.

Commercial and home loans.

- How did you know?

- My gut.

Perry Gordon.

Commercial and home loans too.

Nice to meet you.

Harold Anderson.

Word is, you're some

big banking kahuna from up north.

Your letters of recommendation

were unbelievable.

They're not that great.

They were. I snuck into Mr. Fisk's

office, read every single one.

- Who's that?

- That's Rita.

Office manager. I got her a job.

Smartest thing I ever did.

- Is she...

- Too late. All mine.

She's a noisy one too.

Thank God we work in a bank.

Close the vault door,

nobody hears a thing.

She have a friend?

Don't know. When you want to hit

the nightspots, call me.

Thanks. Great. How about now?

- You're kidding, right?

- No.

It's 10 a. m.

You haven't met the boss yet.

So?

- You got some balls on you.

- I sure do.

Two of them, below my penis.

Listen.

I've gotta have sex right away.

I'm really, really horny.

- I'm getting that.

- Anderson?

Yes, sir?

I've been waiting for you. Don Fisk.

Come on in.

Good morning, Mr. Fisk.

This way.

- As long as the contractionary

British fiscal policy continues.

I can see we don't need

any time to get acclimated.

Pretty girl.

Garry Shandling

Garry Emmanuel Shandling (November 29, 1949 – March 24, 2016) was an American stand-up comedian, actor, director, writer, and producer. He was best known for his work in It's Garry Shandling's Show and The Larry Sanders Show. Shandling began his career writing for sitcoms, such as Sanford and Son and Welcome Back, Kotter. He made a successful stand-up performance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and became a frequent guest-host on the series. Shandling was for a time considered the leading contender to replace Johnny Carson (other hopefuls were Joan Rivers, David Letterman, and David Brenner). In 1986, he created It's Garry Shandling's Show for Showtime. It was nominated for four Emmy Awards (including one for Shandling) and lasted until 1990. His second show titled The Larry Sanders Show, which began airing on HBO in 1992, was even more successful. Shandling was nominated for 18 Emmy Awards for the show and won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series in 1998, along with Peter Tolan, for writing the series finale. In film, he had a recurring role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, appearing in Iron Man 2 and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. He also lent his voice to Verne the turtle in Over the Hedge. Shandling's final performance was as the voice of Ikki in the live-action remake of The Jungle Book. During his three-decade career, Shandling was nominated for 19 Primetime Emmy Awards and two Golden Globe Awards, along with many other awards and nominations. He served as host of the Grammy Awards four times and as host of the Emmy Awards three times. more…
