Paul Page #3

Synopsis: Two sci-fi geeks take a pilgrimage to America's UFO heartland. While there, they accidentally meet an alien who brings them on an insane road trip that alters their universe forever. For the past 60 years, an alien named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen) has been hanging out at a top-secret military base. When he discovers he's been taken prisoner, the space-traveling smart ass decides to escape the compound and hop on the first vehicle out of town - a rented RV containing Earthlings Graeme Willy (Simon Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Nick Frost). Chased by federal agents and the fanatical father of a young woman that they accidentally kidnap, Graeme and Clive hatch a fumbling escape plan to return Paul to his mother ship. And as two nerds struggle to help, one little green man might just take his fellow outcasts from misfits to intergalactic heroes.

Zoil?

What's happening?

He's gone.

Sh*t !

Looks like he hitched a ride too.

- What do you mean?

- Tire tracks.

Bastard jacked a native ?!

Could be too ...

Don't you think this is a bit

of a coincidence?

Are you suggesting anew?

The little f***er might've

found home.

There might be a rescue party on the way.

Zoil, we need to break out the big guns.

Do you think that's wise?

The last thing we need is...

... a hu-ha ?!

Maybe you're right.

Listen, I got 2 rookies on a

special mission 75 clicks north of you.

I'll have them set up a road block.

These are just civillians,

why don't you let me take care of it?

You might need the extra muscle.

Just keep 'em in the dark.

I don't want any loose ends.

Well, these roads can be

treacherous at night.

People get in accidents ...

... all the time.

I like your thinking.

Get it done.

Heads up !

We just got reassigned.

Nice !

What about the sandwich?

- She said we could share it.

- I love this job.

I love pistachios.

I hate when you get a closed one, right?

I usually just bite them.

No, you don't do it at all.

They should be opened on their own way.

- No, that's mussels.

- No, I meant the pistachios ...

What are you doing ?!

He's ok, he's fine, he's friendly !!

His name's Paul !

Aliens aren't called Paul ...

Was that Klingon?

You psychotic nerd !

Listen, Paul is from a small M-Class planet

nothern spiral arm of the Andromeda Galaxy.

Thank you.

He looks too obvious !

There's a reason for that Clive !

Over the last 60 years, the human

race has been drip fed of images ...

... of my face, on lunch boxes,

and t-shirts and sh*t.

In case our species do meet,

you don't have a f***in' spaz attack !!...

Don't do it again !

You f***in' dorf, get

your fingers outta there !

If i get a jorf infection, you're dead !

Oh, my god !

Oh, sh*t ...

Paul ...

Paul?

Ok, ok, this could be it.

So, what are we looking for again?

I don't know.

What brings you to USA?

Uh, we're on holiday.

We've been to comic-con.

Comic-con?

Don't tell O'Rilley.

He loves that sh*t.

You guys know Benny Hill?

No ...

Oh my god, look at this !

- What ?!

- Look at this !

These guys met Adam Shadowchild.

Who the hell's

Adam Shadowchild?

He wrote the "Jupiter Praxis".

What?

"Jenny Starpepper

and the Huge White Gibbon"?

Huh?

"Night of the Moths"?

Are you speaking English?

He's ... brilliant ...

What was he like?

He was a bit intense.

Oh, he's an artist.

Let me see this.

What is this, nerd porn?

- Oh no, that's Clives ...

- It's my novel.

Okay ...

Uh ! Three tits !

That's awesome ...

You guys should've

given her 4 tits.

That's just sick !

I was just sayin'

Do you think this is it?
