Meet Dave Page #5

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.

L am sure the other Buttcracks

would disapprove of your behavior.

You don't look like a teacher.

L'm going to report you.

-Vaporize the child at once!

-Delay that order.

L am indeed your temporary instructor,

which l shall prove to you now. Observe.

Let's teach them something simple,

shall we?

What the...

The unified field theory. The ultimate

pearl of wisdom in all of the universe.

Now you are educated.

-What is your destination?

-l'm gonna sharpen my pencil.

Here, let me assist you.

-There.

-Thanks, l think.

Josh Morrison. Come with me.

What are you doing here?

You're not really the sub, are you?

You have something that is mine.

Lt is a small spherical device,

How'd you hear about that?

And how can it be yours

if it came from outer space?

Are you an alien?

We've been compromised!

L'm just messing with you.

That's very funny.

lt's very important that l find it.

Do you know where it is?

Let me guess.

lt's, like, top secret or something.

Yes. lt is top secret or something.

Will you help us, l mean me, find it?

Look, l don't have it anymore.

This jerk took it.

Well, we have to get it back.

-Where is this jerk?

-His name is Rich.

Him and his buddies are

probably headed for the deli.

-Lead and l will follow.

-Okay, come on.

Such disturbing images.

-Rich isn't here.

-Do you know where Rich lives?

No, but sometimes

l run into him in the neighborhood.

Everybody on the floor, now!

Empty the register and no one gets hurt.

This planet continues

to reveal its ugly nature.

Lt deserves its fate.

-l said, on the floor, now!

-l am already on the floor.

Gravity prevents me from floating off of it.

Get down now!

Big mistake, man.

Hey, you have forgotten your weapon!

Dave, wait!

That was awesome! lmean, you

totally threw that guy across the room.

L was very fortunate not to be injured.

And the gun.

No normal person could have done that.

Do you have, like,

superpowers or something?

Do you know

what would be very pleasant?

Lf we were to change

the subject of our conversation.

Did you see

last night's sports competition?

You see? There's another thing.

You talk so weird.

-Come on, tell me, what's your secret?

-l have no secret.

-Oh, yeah? Quick, where are you from?

-l am from right here in this city.

Where exactly? Give me an address.

The Statue of Liberty.

You live at the Statue of Liberty?

Yes, the Ming Changs have lived at the

Statue of Liberty for many generations.

Now, let us locate the orb.

Look, l don't know where Rich is now,

but tomorrow's my mom's birthday.

We're going to our neighborhood

street fair. Everybody goes.

L'm sure he's gonna be there.

You know, if you want,

you could come with me and my mom.
