Invasion of the Saucer Men Page #3

I wish we'd stuck to the road.

These shoes weren't made for hiking.

It's surely this way.

Come on, honey.

Hey, a police car !

They must've believed you after all.

Let's go back. The police

will take care of those things.

Pardon me, sir. Maybe if we fired

a few rounds, it might scare them out.

- Anyway, get some reaction.

- Go ahead.

Go ahead, Corporal,

fire a few rounds.

This isn't getting us anywhere.

Lieutenant, I want four volunteers

to work acetylene torches.

I wanna get inside that thing

and see what makes it ticks.

Yes, sir !

Let's have that again.

You were driving without lights ?

Yes, but it wouldn't made

any difference anyway.

He was so small,

we wouldn't have seen him.

Small ?

Well, he couldn't have been

over four feet high.

And he was all green

except his hands.

- Green ?

- Yes, sir.

Boy, we sure glad you came

along, we were really scared.

I'll bet you are.

Joe, get the doctor over here.

Before I take it down to HQ,

I want you to do something for me.

I want you to blow up

this little balloon.

- What for ?

- Never mind, just blow. Hold it up.

We're wasting time !

Aren't you gonna do anything

about the little green man ?

- This may be a whole invasion !

- Blow !

This is the silliest thing yet.

- A balloon test, uh ?

- Yeah.

Did you ever hear such a

cock-and-bull story ?

Green men.

Spaceships. Wow.

In my day, we were content

with pink elephants.

But kids these days !

The girl says to me : 'you don't

call him human, do you ?'

How do you like that ?

What do you expect ?

With all the killings they

see in the movies and all.

Do you smell that alcohol ?

Those kids must have killed

at least a quarter liquor.

Hey, Mr. Detective !

I'm through now,

can we get going ?

For a guy who've

commited a serious crime,

you're awfully anxious

to get to the police station !

Crime ?

You don't call killing one

of those monsters a crime ?

Something awfully

screwy around here ...

Something or somebody.

Come on, let's get going.

Wait a minute,

I just wanna explain this !

- I ... Look ... Wait a minute.

- Get in !

Now if you just read that

before you sign it.

This is silly !

We told you what happened,

now why don't you

do something !

That's just what

we are doing, miss.

This is no statement.

It's a confession !

You admit driving

the car, don't you ?

- Yeah, sure but ...

- With the lights off ?

Yeah, but I told you ...

Whether you realize it or not,

driving without lights

and killing a man

is a crime in this state !

Killing a man ?

Look, you don't call killing

that green monster ..

... that thing, a man !

And I haven't even

added in the drunk driving.

When we get the results

of that balloon test,

that'll be another

strike against you !

Look officer, my father's

the city attorney,

and I demand that you send

for him, right away !

Ha !

I've been waiting for that.

It so happens that I know your father,

and he's already been sent for.

He'll straighten you out.

I'm not saying another word,

even if you beat it out of me.

Beat it out of you ?

It never fails.

You try to be nice to

some young punk,

and the first thing you know,

you're charged of

using the third degree !

What's this about a third degree ?

Oh ... Dad !

These people are crazy !

John and I had a horrible time.

You told me you were

going out with Bill Thomas,

not with this rough neck !

But don't you worry

about the monster ?

I heard that ridiculous story

when the Sergeant called me.

Now, Joan, listen to me.

If it's humanely possible,

I'll get you out of this mess.

As for that boy,

he can take his medicine.

Oh thanks.

Thanks a lot !

We're ready for

the identification, sir.

We'll be right in.

If you'll come with me, we'll

make the formal identification.

Wait till you see this thing,

Mr. Hayden, than you'll believe us !

All right, Jim.

Well ?

- I didn't run over this man !

- Are you still on that kick ?

- I ran over a monster !

- You see, I didn't exaggerate.

- A little green man, I tell you !

- We've heard enough of that.

- But I saw it !

- Do you know who he is ?

According to the driver's license

we found on him,

his name is Joe Gruen,

he lives at 121 Maple avenue.

- Where did he work ?

- Nowhere, as far as I could find out.

He and a friend of his drifted

into town about a month ago.

- Friend ?

- Fellow he lives with.

We tried to get him on the phone

to come over to identify the body,

- and there was no answer.

- I see.

Can I talk to them alone

for a minute ?

Oh certainly Mr. Hayden.

Use my office.

Come on !

All right, Jim.

Take him back.

Come in.

Now get this, both of you.

We're lucky in one respect.

The man you've killed is a nobody.

There'll be only one person interested

in the charges brought against you.

That's his roommate.

But daddy, I swear to you,

Johnny didn't ...

Be quiet ! At least, Johnny

has sense enough to listen.

Now then.

Tomorrow, I'll go and talk to

this Joe Gruen's roommate.

See what I can do for Johnny.

I can't do anything until then.

Come on Joan,

I'm taking you home.

I'm not going,

unless Johnny goes.

How is it going ?

We've almost got it. Just as soon

as we cut through this seam.

Hey, look at that !

Looks like some sort of fuse !

Hey, let's get out of here !

Come on !

There's been some kind of an

explosion over in Pallam woods !

- What was that ?

- Looks like something blew up.

What do you suppose it was ?

Joan, these little monsters,

or whatever they are,

are smarter than all

of us put together !

What do you mean ?

Remember when

we watched one of them

pound away at

the fender of my car ?

What's so smart about that ?

Don't you see ?

They killed this man

and then dented the fender !

It's all a frame up !

Whatever it was,

it sure burned out in a hurry.

- Send out a patrol car right away.

- All right, sir.

And we thought

they were mad at the car !

We've gotta go back there,

and get some evidence.

Something they'll believe.

If we don't ... I'm going to jail.

But Johnny, how ?

They'll never let us out of here !

The window !

It's wide open !

- What about those two kids ?

- I talked a little sense into their heads.

The little fools !

They're gone !

So you talked some

sense into them, did you ?

The car's running,

let's take it !

Don't put this in the record,

I'll take the responsability.

- You're still here ?

- Of course, where should I be ?

I just saw you car drive off

so naturally I assumed ...

If those two kids stole my car ... !

You said you'd be responsible for this,

I hope you know what you're doing !

So do I, so do I !

Johnny, I'm awfully worried

about taking this car !

After everything else,

what's a little car theft ?

Come on, let's go !

See anything, Joan ?

Not a thing.

Johnny !

Don't get so far away

from me, I'm frightened.

There's nothing to be afraid of,

I'll handle them with this.

What's going on here,

Lieutenant ?

Everything's under control,
