Meet Dave Page #4

Synopsis: A spaceship shaped like a human lands face first on Liberty Island. Its crew (of tiny, intelligent, and unemotional beings) is looking for an orb sent from its planet to extract the oceans' salt, which will ruin Earth. The orb is in the possession of Josh, the fifth-grade son of a single mom whose car strikes the ambulatory alien spaceship and cripples its power supply. The crew has 48 hours to recover the orb, throw it in the Atlantic, and leave Earth. Over the course of two days, the ship's crew experiences chaos and emotion in New York. Do Earth's giants - Josh and his mom - have anything to teach these brainy aliens? Meanwhile, mutiny is afoot and the cops are closing in.

And yet, they keep walking

Apparently, chaos

is the order of the day here.

Doctor,

-Hey, look, it's the Good Humor man!

Lt's this suit again!

How in Nil did we wind up

with this wardrobe debacle?

-We must have missed something.

-l can't see how, sir.

We carefully studied the only signal

ever intercepted from Earth.

Theplane! Theplane!

When we enter the boy's school,

we must not draw any

undue attention to ourselves.

Yes, we must rid ourselves

of this inappropriate attire

and replace it with clothing that is

the epitome of both hip and now.

Welcome to Old Navy!

-Any ideas?

-Likely a ritual greeting, sir.

Welcome to Old Navy!

-Welcome to Old Navy!

-Welcome to Old Navy!

Welcome to Old Navy!

Welcome to Old Navy!

Welcome to Old Navy.

Welcome to Old Navy!

Welcome to Old Navy.

Crew, prepare for

an unrehearsed maneuver.

Come on!

-What the...

-Sorry, sir! lt won't happen again!

L can help you if you'd...

How about l help you take that.

Very...

Yes, this is my size. Welcome to Old Navy!

Excuse me. Do you have a private chamber

where l can try on these garments?

Changing room back there behind hoodies.

Welcome to Old Navy.

Sir, we have arrived at the school.

This can't be right.

One singular sensation

Every little step she takes

Apologies, sir.

Apparently we are on West 44th Street.

One smile

and suddenly nobody else will do

Let's get out of here. Double-time.

-Hey!

-What do you got here, little freak?

-That's mine!

-What do you use it for, playing nerd-ball?

-Whatever it is, it's mine now.

-Give it back!

Or what?

You gonna tell your mommy again?

Can l help you?

L am here for the fifth-grade classroom.

Okay, all right, you're very late,

but you're here, at least.

Lt's been a madhouse.

Half the teachers are out with the flu.

L'm just gonna... l'm gonna have to

throw you to the wolves.

Don't say a word. l will mess you up.

Josh Morrison.

What are you doing here?

Are you the sub?

What is your name?

-Smellmy.
