What Planet Are You From? Page #5

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?

I'm sorry.

What is that humming sound?

It's the tendons in your legs

vibrating.

Oh, you know what?

Can you...?

One second.

Hello?

I was just thinking

about you too, Steve.

We don't want to lose our momentum.

I miss you too.

Is she there?

Ready for more?

I can't do this.

I'm in love with a married pilot

from Dallas, our hub.

You know who I feel really sorry for?

His wife.

- He's off cheating on her.

- With you?

Get out!

What'd I do? I'm crazy about you.

- Get out!

- You smell nice.

I almost opened up to you.

Are those your shoes?

Those are beautiful shoes.

You're in a hurry.

Aren't you gonna eat?

Gotta get to the office.

- You mean you have to get to her.

- What?

- You're having an affair.

- What's wrong with you?

All you talk about is

how work bores you.

Now you're rushing to get to

your job? What's her name?

It's not an affair.

It's that Pamela person.

I've seen the way she looks at you.

The woman is a slut.

She's in a wheelchair.

Don't think she doesn't play that

for all it's worth.

You want to know what's going on?

You want to know the truth?

I deserve that much.

This is classified,

so it's just between you and me.

A couple days ago, on an Arizona West

flight, there was an incident.

The crew almost lost control.

One of the passengers was

shooting video.

Something made contact

with that plane.

The thing is,

I don't have an answer for it.

For the first time in 22 years,

I don't know what happened.

There's something about that.

About the not knowing.

Look. I'm getting goose bumps

just thinking about it.

It's what I've been waiting for.

Now it's finally come.

- Understand?

- Does she have bigger tits than me?

I'll figure this out.

I'll take that as a yes.

I'll be late.

Damn!

Can I help you?

I'm looking for Perry.

You know Perry?

Yeah, but not too well. I'm his wife.

His wife?

Well, Perry's a very lucky man,

if I may say.

Very lucky.

Harold Anderson.

Helen.

He's probably in the vault.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for Perry Gordon.

Is it okay if I wait in his office?

- That'll be fine.

- Thank you.

Were you at the AA meeting

last night?

Yes. I saw you there.

Your speech was very good.

Thanks. Do you work here?

Commercial and home loans.

Not too exciting. Just a normal guy.

Nothing's wrong with normal.

Do you know where Perry is?

You know Perry?

Well, no.

He backed into my car last night.

I've got an estimate.

Could you give this to him?

Sure.

- You have beautiful handwriting.

- That's the mechanic.

This part here where you

signed your name? Lovely.

How long you been in the program?

- Program?

- AA.

I'm not involved in the program.

Perry just took me there.

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…
