What Planet Are You From? Page #3

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?

That's Rita, the office manager.

She's mine.

We go to Scottsdale every weekend.

I have a condo up there.

You're free to use it anytime.

- Rita?

- The condo.

- Thanks.

- You know...

...I have never seen such a stack

of glowing recommendations.

If I didn't know better,

I'd think you wrote them yourself.

A vice president's job is opening up.

I assume you're interested.

No, not necessarily.

Come on. It's okay to be ambitious.

You're only human.

Well...

Think it over. In the meantime...

...welcome aboard.

- Thanks.

We got a wonderful family

of people here. Top-quality people.

Except for Perry.

He's a sneaky prick.

Always looking for p*ssy,

never doing his job.

- I can't stand that.

- That is good to know.

Neglected? Nadine, how can you

feel neglected?

We never do anything?

What about that trip to New Orleans?

Wasn't that a good time?

I don't care if it was four years ago.

I asked if it was a good time.

Just don't get all pissy, will you?

I can't even ask you a question.

Could you hold?

Can you hold, please? Thank you.

Jones.

No, that's closed.

Pacific East flight 769.

Yeah, it was the hydraulics.

Arizona West flight 442. I was just

getting through that stuff. Hold on.

I'll have to call you back.

Let me call you back.

What the hell?

You like? This is

the best titty bar in Phoenix.

How many are there?

This one, and there might be

one other, but it sucks.

You come here a lot?

Once, twice a year.

- Hi, Perry.

- Hey, Cheryl.

- Grab me a beer.

- Sure. What would you like?

Someone just like you.

Relative?

I'm your cowboy, baby.

Great, but that noise is

getting louder.

Traffic.

- Are you sure?

- It's rush hour.

Come on. Make me feel like a man.

Hold on, mister.

Time to put on your party clothes.

What's that?

A condom.

My boss has one in Scottsdale.

He said I can use it.

Great. Put it on.

But I don't want anything between us.

Just unroll it.

Oh, boy.

What the hell was that?

It slipped.

- Morning.

- Morning.

How'd it go with Cheryl?

I rushed her to the hospital.

She got some glass in her eye.

Yeah, that happens.

Where we going tonight?

I'll take you to a great place.

I'm taking you where I met Rita.

I'm Doreen. I'm an alcoholic.

Hi, Doreen.

And today marks my 59th day

of sobriety.

Thanks. Thank you very much.

And I celebrated by

calling my parents...

...to tell them about

my engagement to Janice.

Dykes. Made popular on television,

now they're everywhere.

Is there anyone else

who'd like to share?

You.

Hello. Get the bread,

I see something tasty.

Hi, this is the first time I've

actually gotten up to speak, so I'm...

Your name. Start with your name.

Thanks. Of course.

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…
