The people all holler

When they hit the floor

Go, cat, go

All around the world

Rock 'n' roll is here to stay

You can hear those jukebox jumping

All night and all through the day

They do the bop

The Texas Hop

Shim, sham, shimmy

And they never, never stop

All around the world

Rock 'n' roll is here to stay

You can hear those jukebox jumping

All night and all through the day

Thank you. Thank you.

You're beautiful.

You're wonderful.

You're wonderful. Thank you.

I get it.

Your people have been

visiting our planet for...

Well, since ancient times.

And now you've come back

to check up on us.

And... And explain everything, right?

It's a very interesting story.

It doesn't make any sense at all.

Are you aware of that?

Actually, they've never been

down there in person.

- There's too many germs.

- Germs!

Germs!

Germs that can cause colds,

bad breath, diarrhea.

Germs that can flourish

in your family bathroom.

See, they had to disinfect us when

we got here just to get this close.

Besides, we know what they do

to people like us down there.

But... But this is just the movies.

This isn't the way we really are.

- Don't you know that?

- You expect me to believe that?

Look at this, your people

just like to blow things up.

Look... Look, we...

We sent out those signals

because we wanted to meet.

But it had to be someone special.

You!

So... So you could explain.

You're not like the rest of them.

You knew we could be friends...

...if we only got the chance.

Look, I know I must look weird to you,

but how do you think you look to me?

Listen, I watched

four episodes of Lassie

before I figured out why

the little hairy kid never spoke!

I mean, he rolled over.

Sure, he did that fine,

but I didn't think he deserved

a series for that.

But, see, this isn't real.

And... And we don't really kill people.

Well, we do, but... But not aliens,

because we haven't met any.

What's that?

Space pirates.

Space pirates?

Space pirates.

- Scourge of the universe.

- We can fight them off!

- Vicious! Merciless!

- We'll stand together.

- We'll use your advanced weaponry!

- They crush all who defy them.

Coming to a theater near you.

Rated R.

Good night, everybody.

- Thanks for the memories...

- There she is.

Go home?

We can't go home.

We just got here.

And we're sorry you have

to run along so soon.

Aren't they great?

Let's give them a big sendoff.

I tell you, I love this guy.

I really do. I mean that sincerely.

Now, remember, you can see him

at Tahoe the week of the 17th

and Atlantic City on Easter weekend.

Isn't that right?

Let's all try to be there.

Tahoe?

- What's the hurry?

- Now, look, honey,

let's not have a scene.

I don't understand.

See, we came all this way,

- and we haven't learned anything.

- Perhaps next time.

Next time?

Yes, next time, you get to compete

for our grand prize:

A fabulous, new Pontiac Firebird!

It's a brand-new car!

We're not afraid of space pirates.

I don't understand

why we have to go.

We can take it.

- I really like it here.

- We get beat up all the time at home.

Y'all come back now, hear?

But you can't just send us away.

What is it?

Did we do something wrong?

Is that it? I mean,

we laughed at all your jokes.

I mean, even the really dumb ones.

I... I don't know.

What is it you want?

Looks like my baby picture.

It's '80s music. It's cool.

Far-out.

Far-out?

Oh, Wak.

Is that a space pirate?

Yes!

No. Not exactly.

It's their father.

What?

I'm telling you, it's their father.

They're kids.

No way.

Well, look at him.

Just a couple of kids?

And you didn't tell us?

You dreamed about meeting us.

You wanted this to be so great.

We were afraid you'd be,

you know, disappointed.

And wouldn't wanna

come back again.

- Really?

- It's true.

It really is his vehicle.

And we're not even

supposed to touch it.

- What a bummer.

- You stole your dad's car?

Well, he said we could

get away with it!

- But we did.

- But we didn't!

- We practically did!

- Well, we didn't!

Well, you're such a wimp anyway.

Boy. He's really pissed.

That's why you have to go.

He'd never understand.

Especially about us, Wolfgang.

Well, I...

I think it's time for you guys

to get going.

Do we have to?

Yeah. And we didn't even get to tell

you the secrets of the universe.

Ben.

This is for you.

- What is it?

- The...

...stuff that dreams are made of.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

I must have something

to give you.

- Pretty cute, huh?

- Hubba-hubba.

Boy, I'd like to get my cups on her.

Someday she'll be my girlfriend.

Maybe sooner than you think.

What's this?

It's... It's a harmonica.

You put it in your mouth.

Yeah, and see, you blow...

No.

No, you can't play it

very well like that.

Way to go, stupid.

- It's OK.

- Doesn't even offer me any.

We'll always have Paris.

Paris? Paris?

Bye-bye!

Boy, and I thought

my dad was tough.

I've waited all my life to say this.

What do I have to do,

eat a banana?

And... And, Neek,

that's Darren and Ben.

Hello.

A Rolls Canhardly!

All around the world

- What's that?

- Space pirates.

I'm telling you, it's their father.

They're kids.

- Pretty cute, huh?

- Hubba-hubba.

I think it's time for you guys

to get going.

Do we have to?

And we're sorry you have

to run along so soon.

Go home?

We can't go home.

We just got here.

Y'all come back now, hear?

We were flying!

So you're the spaceman.

This is for you.

- What is it?

- The...

... stuff that dreams are made of.

- Oh, there's the drive-in.

- What's left of it.

Oh, yeah.

- Oh, there's the Safeway.

- Oh, yeah.

There's my house.

My dad's up.

Wonder what he's doing.

It's taking us back

to our point of origin.

No, it's not.

Field's off.

Well, then what's holding us up?

Come on.

She was a good ship.

Goodbye.

It's weird.

They should've called us by now.

What if we never hear

from them again?

I know.

We gotta get back there somehow.

But we don't have our ship.

No power.

It's just so frustrating.

No one on Earth is ever

gonna top Neek.

Gee, I thought they really liked us.

I wonder what they're doing

right now.

Come on, let's go.

They've probably been grounded

for 3 million years.

...so mostly it's used to coat

other metals that rust,

or mixed with other metals

to form alloys.

Who was the scientist that discovered

nickel as an element?

Ben.

Nickel.

- Thomas Jefferson?

- What a bonehead.

- Trisha.

- Baron Axel Frederik Cronstedt

- in 1751.

- Very good, Trisha.

Nickel is one of...

All right. They're sending again.

- I knew they would.

- Whoa, dude.

Wow. This one looks

really complicated.

Ben.

If this is all a dream,

then what happens

when we wake up?

I don't know,

but I can't wait to find out.

A guy goes to a psychiatrist,

has a complete examination.

Afterwards the shrink says,

"Well, I've examined you thoroughly.

I've come to my conclusion.

"I think you're crazy!"

And the guys says,
