Frank!

Yeah?

Who's that?

It's Frank.

I'm Frank now.

OK.

Put on the red record.

We haven't got

a red record.

Muriel has

a red record.

Makes the pills

go down.

Sure.

- Say "ah. "

- No. Muriel and I say "frog. "

- Frog.

- OK, frog.

Oh, my...

I'm going to clean up

that cafe, Frank.

I'm going to clean

it up right now.

Oh.

Well...

maybe first thing

in the morning.

You don't have to

worry about a thing.

OK?

OK.

# Just around

the corner #

# There's a rainbow

in the sky #

# So #

# Let's have another

cup of coffee #

# And let's have

another piece of pie ##

Did we miss the sunset?

Oh.

Please...

somebody...

help us.

Frank.

Where's the goddamn

toaster?

Good morning.

Island Manor.

Can I help you?

Hello?

Hello.

Faye!

Faye, what is this?

Come on, Tommy,

slow down!

Oh, no.

Yo! Wait a minute!

Those are my pictures!

Wait! Would you stop?

Stop! Just wait!

Oh, God.

Today they collect

the garbage.

- Hi.

- Hi.

It's all right.

It's me- 3B.

Someone was in my room.

Yeah, me too.

I think we got elves.

- Good morning.

- Hi.

Who are you?

Oh, the old

Grandey place.

Have you seen my-

Come on, dear.

Don't be shy.

Oh, dear, come on.

Let me get a nice,

big bolt for you.

You're tired of nails.

Here.

You want some

paper clips?

Come on.

Don't move.

Come on, Faye.

Time to go back downstairs.

I'm feeding them.

They like this stuff.

Here.

Our son kept birds.

You know, pigeons.

Please, Faye.

Don't do this.

Not now, OK?

That's my frying pan.

What?

- Oh, nothing.

- Go ahead. Tell him.

- Nothing. It's not important.

- That's her pan and my coffee pot.

Come on. Come on.

No more pigeons, hon.

It's time to stop.

I said stop that!

Frank.

My God, Faye.

You went into these

people's apartments?

Not me, them-

the little guys.

Faye, I need you

to be with me now.

I need you to be here.

I'm here, Papa.

I'm with you.

Now, what else

did you take?

I told you, nothing.

It's the little guys.

Oh, skip that.

What about this?

Where did you get

a new picture?

It's not new,

it- it's fixed.

Fixed like new?

They did

a good job.

Who did?

I ain't saying.

Goddamn it-

It's OK.

No harm done.

It could be

giant rats.

Yeah, from Brooklyn,

you know.

Oh!

Whoa!

That was no rat.

What was it?

Who in his right mind

stands in a puddle

and sticks a fork

in a wall socket?

Come on, get back.

All of you. Shoo!

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

Come on, now.

There, wait there.

Wait there.

Here.

They're shy.

They're the fix-its.

They like

to fix things.

They have that knack.

Hey, dance me

around, Papa.

Oh, come on,

you kids.

Put a little

Fred Astaire into it.

No, they're not toys.

You can't buy them

at Macy's.

The Army told me

to call you.

Are you

missing anything

in the way of

experimental aircraft?

Not a word,

not even in the Post.

Well, they're robots,

right?

They're autogiros

or smart bombs.

They're microchip

hovercraft.

They're spaceships.

You can tell by lookin' at them.

Spaceships?

Sure, from

a very small planet.

Very small.

Maybe this

is all a dream.

If this is a dream,

which one of us is having it?

Don't look at me.

I stopped dreaming

a long time ago.

I'll talk to it.

You better be careful.

Stop!

Welcome to America.

Maybe you should try

some Spanish on him.

Ahem.

Habla Espanol?

Companeros.

Don't hurt

anybody, OK?

Breakfast.

Sit down, everybody.

Don't let it get cold.

I made candy omelets.

That looks delicious,

Mrs. Riley.

Look. It's plugged itself in.

Is that

why you're here?

OK, that's it.

I'll call the cops

and make them come.

I heard that.

You need cops, Picasso?

Come on. Call a cop.

- Bobby.

- Hey, lady, my name's not Bobby.

Oh, excuse me.

Robert. Mr. B.

- Shut up!

- Hey!

I saw downstairs.

Who's been cleaning up after me?

Huh? Who?

Whoever threw that

is ruined, man.

Hospitalized.

What the hell is this?

Whoever's in there,

you got big trouble, man.

Uh, Carlos.

Actually, I wouldn't do that

if I were you.

Whoa!

Ohh!

Aah!

Hey, Carlos, where are you going, man?

Let's talk this over!

Don't forget to write!

OK. Easy now, little guy.

That's right.

I just want to check for that label

that says "Made in the U.S.A."

No, don't.

You'll queer our luck.

This little guy

is the golden goose.

Wow.

Aah!

It serves you right.

We apologize.

He didn't mean to pry.

He was just being...

scientific.

"G.E."

This says "G.E."

This is- was-

my coffee pot.

Looks like

it's been percolated.

Who are they, Frank?

What is so special

about our roof?

Maybe it was me.

What do you mean you?

Me and Faye...

we needed help.

Oh, w-

You think that they're here

because of you?

The quickest way

to end a miracle

is to ask it

why it is...

or what it wants.

What is

your name, dear?

- Marisa.

- Marisa. Boy, my memory.

It's like the Navy-

coming and going, coming and going.

Ah, here's Bobby's

little jammies.

I bet there's even

a few diapers in here.

How old is your son, Mrs. Riley?

Bobby?

Uh, let me see.

He just

had a birthday.

I've got to think.

He's got

his father's ears.

He and Frank don't

get along so good.

Frank's got a terrible temper,

you know.

You're going to love

being a mother.

Faye, come here, quick!

- What are they doing?

- Can't you tell?

She's going to get hungry.

Take it away!

It's too short!

- Any more?

- That's it.

Come on, Frank.

They're starving.

Well, what do you know?

Thanks, Harry.

I saw you fight.

Harry Noble,

the human locomotive.

Come on, Harry,

say something.

Talk to me.

Come on, Frank.

Get on with it.

A tremendous right.

Tremendous.

Never says a word.

Just watches TV.

Loves the commercials.

It's all we got.

Come on. Take it.

It's OK.

We're neighbors.

- Doesn't trust us.

- Yeah.

Harry Noble.

I used to bet on him.

He had a hell of a right.

You should've seen him.

Look out. Flying pot.

Ghost in the garbage!

Shut up, Benny.

Mama's whole kitchen

coming to get you.

I said shut up, man!

Hey, lighten up.

Hey.

We got plans

for those people.

And you know what?

Those people are

making plans on their own.

They got something hooked up.

Man, they're getting organized,

and look at us.

Somebody's helping them.

Somebody's bringing

them together.

- Yo, Carlos, I see someone.

- Give me that!

Wave to your mother.

Ah, there you are.

You're a lucky one.

She's a darling girl.

Are you superstitious?

I'm getting there.

Well...

I'm not superstitious...

but I was thinking

about these things

and why they came.

Uh-huh.

And, uh...

This will really

sound silly,

but it's like they were

watching or listening.

And you think they're here

because of you.

Yes!

So when's the baby due?

Two or three more months.

I'm not sure.

You're not sure?

What does the doctor say?

- I haven't been to the doctor.

- That's crazy.

- I feel fine.

- You got to take care of yourself.

My boyfriend's coming.

He's gonna take care of me.

- Oh, your boyfriend.
