Invaders from Mars Page #4

---

My mom, dad, Linda,

all the others.

They're good people.

They would never hurt you...

It's too late.

Shut up!

I'm talking to him!

Please.

It's too late.

I'll stay after school every

day for the rest of my life

If you would just shut up!

Ha ha ha ha!

Don't you understand?

You can't do this to people.

You can't control them.

It's wrong!

You're not gonna

get away with it...

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Please.

Can't you give me

my mom and dad back?

And Linda and heather.

I'll leave Mrs. Mckeltch.

It's your turn now,

David Gardner.

No way.

Poor little guy.

I'll fix you!

You dick brain!

Uuuh!

You bad boy!

Aah!

Oh!

Aah!

Aah!

All right!

Linda!

Linda!

Ha ha ha ha!

Go back!

Renaldo!

Stop.

General.

Oh, Christ, no.

No, Renaldo.

No!

General, stay back!

Ahh...

don't do it, Renaldo!

Ahh...

shoot me.

Fire!

Capt. Curtis!

Look out!

Capt.

Curtis, gen. Wilson, up here!

David, are you okay?

They've got Linda!

There's this huge machine

they use to get everybody.

If we don't get there fast,

they'll get her.

It's all right, David.

Just stay calm, boy.

Skipper, muster your troops.

We've got to get

to the ship to save her!

Lock and load.

I wasn't trained for this.

Linda's over there!

Charge them!

Dragon! Dragon!

Get over, set!

David, get over here!

Stay by me, boy!

Stay by me!

Are you ready to fire?

Dragon, fire!

Fire on the back flank area!

Captain!

Linda!

Men, get the rest

of those charges in.

Let's go, guys, move it!

Stop, stop!

David, stop!

Linda, are you okay?

Ah!

David!

Where are we?

The entrance!

The spaceship's leaving!

David's okay.

But we've got to

get out of here right away!

Take her into the tunnels.

We'll meet you there!

Move it!

Come on!

The charges are in, sir.

Just give me a time.

I want 5 minutes

to get out of here.

Skipper, you got 5 minutes

To get everyone out.

Come on, boy!

Move!

Keep moving, Linda!

Move out!

Out!

Charge out!

Aah!

Aah!

David, get up!

We got to move out!

Move out!

Come on! Beat it!

Come on!

Let's go!

Keep moving!

Bastards!

They've sealed off the entrance.

Start digging!

We can't dig our

way out of here.

We can't even blow our way out!

Capt. Curtis!

Yeah.

General Wilson!

We have one of their weapons.

I know it sounds crazy, but...

That just might do the trick,

If we can just

make it work in time.

General Wilson.

Fuel. It needs

some copper.

Copper is what they use.

I saw them load it.

Maybe a penny will do it.

Damn, and I had a whole bagful.

Hasn't anybody got a penny?

You don't carry change into combat,

sir.

Sir, a minute and 15 seconds.

Dad's!

'58 D, mint condition.

You aim.

I'll fire.

Aah!

Help her, Curtis! Help her!

Keep moving, men.

David!

David, this way!

David!

I'm coming!

Keep moving, men.

Keep moving.

David!

Over here.

Mom?

Dad?

Come with us.

Hurry, dear.

They'll leave without us.

No, no. Please.

Hey, little guy.

You don't know

what you're missing.

Oh, yes, I do.

Come on, little guy.

Mom, dad, I love you.

Please understand,

I can't come with you.

David!

David.

David!

Keep moving.

Where's David?

David!

Come on!

David!

Run!

Come on, David!

No!

Aah!

Move it! Move it

for Christ's sake!

No!

David!

Come on! Move it!

Linda, come on!

David!

He'll be all right.

Get down there!

Hang on!

Come on, Linda, you can make it!

Aaah!

No!

David!

Come on, David!

Ah!

Aah!

Ah!

Ah!

Uh!

Oh!

David!

Hurry!

David!

Hurry!

Mom!

Mom! Dad!

Help!

Dad!

David, what is it?

No, no!

Leave me alone!

David, it's all right.

It's okay.

You're awake now.

Honey!

Hey, it's okay.

Oh, David.

They chased me,

and then they got you and dad.

Oh, they did?

Oh, calm down, honey.

Calm down.

Now, who chased you?

Dad,

let me see the back of your neck.

It must have been some dream.

Please, let me see.

Is it okay?

It's okay.

What about me?

You're fine, mom.

Whew.

Oh, darling.

You see, the spaceship landed

Right in back of the hill.

What did?

And you started

chasing me down the hill.

Then everything exploded

into a great big white light.

That is really weird, David.

Actually, I like the stuff

About the Martians coming

to steal the copper.

But it seemed so real.

Copper for energy, huh?

Well, David.

You got nothing to worry about.

Your penny collection

is still here.

You know what it seems to me?

It seems to me like

Your dream was full

of all sorts of things

That happened

to you today, like,

Your penny collection.

Even "mad dog" Wilson

coming to your school.

But I was so scared.

There's nothing to be afraid of,

David Gardner.

Mom!

Tomorrow,

we'll take a picnic up at the hill.

Feel better now, big guy?

Yeah.

Okay.

You better get some sleep.

You'll be tired

at school tomorrow.

Good night, son.

Good night, dad.

Good night, sweetheart.

Uh... mom?

Do you want me

to leave this open?

Um...

no, that's okay.

Good night.

Aaah!

Mom! Dad!

No!
