Meet Dave Page #7

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.

Huge and exciting and crazy,

just love.

How do you know when you feel love?

Oh, l think when you feellove,

you don't need to ask that question.

L see.

Time for me to exit into the night.

Okay.

Well, thank you again

for being there for Josh today and...

And, yeah, l think tomorrow will be fun.

l'm glad you're coming with us.

So am l, Gina Morrison.

Okay.

-Good night, Dave.

-Good night, Gina.

Do you mind if l rest here?

Sure.

This appears to be a safe port.

We'll join this urban camper.

You ain't crazy, are you?

The last guy was here,

he said he was from outer space.

What planet?

And the party continues.

Here. Here you go.

Gets a little chilly at night.

Did you see that?

This man has nothing,

yet he offers to share

his sole source of warmth.

Why?

Lt seems they are a more complex species

than we imagined.

-Yes?

-My findings are incomplete,

but l have noted more atypical behavior

spreading throughout the ship.

Ls that so?

Well, l think we all just need

a good night's rest, Doctor.

-Dang!

-Excuse me?

Working rather late, No. 3.

L was just doing

some additional cultural research.

And what have you found?

L stumbled onto an interesting file

in the alien database, sir.

Every man, woman and child

is forced to view it once a year.

Lt could be helpful in understanding them.

Show me.

You have not changed

since our days at the Academy.

L remember the late nights

studying together.

And the nutritious protein squares

you prepared for us.

L would not have been able to graduate

without your help.

And, yet, here you've become

our generation's most renowned captain.

Yes.

Here it is.

What is it you want, Mary?

What do you want?

You want the moon? Just say the word

andl'll throw a lasso aroundit

andpullit down.

Hey, that's a pretty goodidea.

l'llgive you the moon, Mary.

L'll take it.

Lasso the moon?

-Physically impossible!

-Absurd.

-Good night, Captain.

-Yes, Three, good night.

L must say, sir,

these Earth creatures keep surprising me.

A most confusing place.

lt makes my head spin.

L guess l'd better hold on, then.

L want to send this out

to every precinct, every security company

and every hospital in the city

until we lD this guy right here.

This is incredible. Just amazing.

Amazing that two idiots like you

could've passed the police exam.

-See? l tried to tell him, Sarge.

-Hold on.

Lt is a fact, a fact, that something

or someone has landed here.

Now, we could be making the biggest

scientific discovery of all time.

L don't want to hear another word

about E.T., Bigfoot or the Tooth Fairy,

unless they're jacking some old lady's car.

-You got that?

-Yes, sir.

-That's good aim, Sarge.
