Workwith me, baby.

It's over here!

It's right here!

- You okay?

- I'm good. I'm good.

- Let's go!

- Let's do this!

You sure this leads

to the main cavern?

It'll lead us somewhere.

Geology's not an exact science.

Where areyou?

Where areyou, my little aliens?

Showyourself.

Warm to the touch.

Highly acidic.

We do not have time foryou to act

likeyou know whatyou're doing.

- What happened to the respect?

- Woodman's going at noon. Hurry.

Very good.

- Are the troops in place?

- They're ahead ofschedule.

Excellent. We can go early.

Oh, no. What is he doing here?

Governor Lewis.

I don't see anything burning.

Where are all the explosions?

We'rejust getting underway. Didn't know

you were coming to see the show.

You damn well better make it

a good one, Sergeant.

That's General.

Not ifyou screw this up.

Keeping my chairwarm for me?

Thankyou.

I'll take a pair ofspy glasses

and a hot chocolate.

Give me a hose.

Get up top. When I giveyou the signal,

start pumping the selenium.

Got it.

Okay, we're gonna spray all around

the meteor, then get out ofhere fast.

Oh, blue monkey!

Wayne, charge the line now!

- That's the napalm!

- Woodman went early!

Bad, bad, bad, bad!

Wayne, come on!

Okay, I'm out!

Oh! We gotta go!

Go! Go, go! Faster! Get up there!

- Go!

- Run foryour life!

Quite the bonfire, General Woodman.

Should've brought some wieners.

That can be arranged.

- First reports are excellent, sir.

- Very good.

Keep it together, Wayne.

Keep it together.

Oh, my God.

What's happening?

- It's coming!

- What's coming?

Get outta here!

General, look.

Hurry!

Drive!

Go! Go!

Fall back. Fall back!

What the hell is that thing?

The napalm forced an evolutionary

response,just like the match.

That's evolution?

Survival ofthe fittest. Often

the simplest organism is the strongest.

It's freaking out.

It's starting to have some sort

ofspaz attack.

No, that's not spazzing out.

It's getting ready to divide.

Mitosis.

Wait. There's gonna be more

ofthese things?

Yeah, a lot more.

Its cycle's starting over again.

It's gonna go on growing...

and doubling until it takes over.

Yeah, but we were here first.

So that Head & Shoulders idea,

is that still the plan orwhat?

I'm driving.

I don't care ifhe's on Air Force One.

They've got phones. I've seen them!

I don't think this

is gonna wait an hour.

Hey, what's that fire truck

doing out there?

Mama.

Can you believe this?

We gotta find a point ofattack.

There!

Nasty!

Allison, stop, stop.

Right here.

- Here we go!

- Get the ladder up!

Feed me the hose, Deke!

- What areyou doing?

- Going up top.

Not before me.

I've got a major score to settle.

Go, go!

We don't have much time. Hurry!

- Left!

- Left!

All right, I got it. I haven't had

too much practice with this thing.

Stop! Stop!

- What's going on?

- I don't know, but it's getting bigger.

What the hell are those guys doing

with that ladder?

Looks like they're getting ready

to administer ajumbo enema.

We got one shot. Let's do this.

It's payback time!

Keep it in there!

What's it look like I'm doing?

It's working!

- Sh*t!

- Whoa!

What the hell?

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Give me back my friend,

you big sphincter!

She's gonna blow!

Stop kicking!

It's horrible in here!

I gotyou!

- Please. Hold me.

- I gotyou!

Don't let me go!

We gotta get outta here.

This thing's gonna blow.

You cannot imagine

what I've seen in there.

Hurry up, guys!

Ira, don'tyou ever tell anyone

where I've been.

Dear Lord!

Uh-oh. Time to go.

- Go!

- Go!

Whoa! We did it!

Here we go, sir.Just relax,

and we'll haveyoujust as good as new.

I am happy to report

that absolutely all remaining traces...

ofthe alien menace

have been eradicated...

using the selenium shampoo formula

developed right here.

Now let me introduce our civilian

scientist heroes and their team.

The best that the great state ofArizona

has been privileged to produce.

So, this is your moment.

You wouldn't want to miss this

for anything, huh?

Firstly, I would likeyou all

to meet Wayne Grey.

As oftoday,

fully credentialed firefighter.

I spoke to the chief.

Oh, thanks, Governor.

Now our next hero, Professor

Harry Block, noted geologist...

and the winningest coach

in North Arizona's women's volleyball.

I appreciate that, Governor.

Very kind.

First ofall, let's give it up to God.

With Him, all things are possible.

Basically, wejust played tough defense,

took it one alien at a time...

and we were able to come away

with the big W.

Thankyou.

Finally...

Doctors Ira Kane and Allison Reed...

whose tireless efforts and research

and academic findings led to the--

I think he's giving her

a bit ofthe Kane Madness.

Wow! Fighting the alien menace

can be tough work.

And so is keeping your hair clean,

So it's a good thing that we always keep

a healthy supply of--
