Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs Page #6

Synopsis: Flint Lockwood thinks he's a genius. But none of the things he invented are things that make sense or are useful. However, he has the support of his mother but when she dies, he's left alone with his father who thinks he should give it up. When the community that he lives in is in an economic crisis because their primary source of income, a sardine cannery, was shut down, Flint decides to try his latest invention, a machine that can turn water into food. But something goes wrong and the machine ends up in the atmosphere. Later it starts raining food. The shifty mayor tries to use this as a way to help their community, but when Flint senses something wrong with the machine, the mayor convinces him to ignore it. However, as Flint predicts, chaos ensues.

It's not ideal, no.

Come with us. We'll start over.

We'll live underground.

Use bacon for clothes.

Sam, that's not a very good plan.

It is if it means

I don't have to lose you.

Look, I like you, okay?

Like- - Like, as a friend?

No.

Like, "like you" like you.

Me too.

But about you.

Goodbye, Sam.

Flint. No.

Hang on, Sam.

Dr. Manny's got the medicine

for your face.

Pickles.

Beets.

Banana.

Strawberry.

-Manny, we're on our way. Hurry.

-Hang on, Sam.

I'm circling the blowhole.

Scared.

Gummi Bears.

Play with us, play with us.

Eat us, eat us.

Hungry.

Hungry. Gummi Bears. Gummi Bears.

Gummi Bears. Steve hungry. Hungry.

Steve starving. Hungry.

Hungry. Starving.

Manny. Where are you?

-She touched a peanut or something.

-Oh, boy.

Corn.

Grabbing.

Tying. Throwing.

Waiting.

Swinging.

Sorry, old friend.

The kitchen's closed.

Fight the power!

Dad.

No.

When it rains, you put on a coat...

...of Spray-On Shoes.

Yeah.

Just- - There were chickens- -

Where's Flint?

No!

I know, kid.

I know.

- Cool.

-Yeah. All right.

Flint?

I'm sorry.

Your son was a great man.

- Steve.

- Steve.

- Flint.

- Brent.

- Flint.

- Cal.

- Steve.

- Flint.

- Earl.

- Flint.

-You guy.

- Steve.

Sam.

Flint.

Sam.

- Flint.

- Flint.

- Dad.

- Steve.

Flint.

Look, when you--

When you cast your line...

...if it's not straight--

Oh, for crying out loud.

I'm proud of you, Flint.

I'm amazed that someone

as ordinary as me...

...could be the father of someone

as extraordinary as you.

You're talented,

you're a total original.

And your lab is breathtaking.

Your mom, she always knew

you were going to be special.

And if she were alive today,

she'd tell us both;

"I told you so. "

Now, look,

when I take this thing off...

...and you hear me

make a fishing metaphor...

...just know

that fishing metaphor means;

I love my son.

I love you too, Dad.

So where were we?

You were about to kiss me.

Were you gonna kiss me back?

Why don't you find out?

Because I don't want to go for it and

then get shut down again.

- Just kiss me.

- You know- -

Yeah. I'm a chicken.

This was not well thought out.
