Do you live around here?
Yes, of course. l am just a regular

as standardized as we thought.

Anyway, l just, l try to be there for him,
but l don't really know

L'm just doing the single mom thing,
and l'm so permissive of everything.
Oh, my God, l am talking your ear off.

-Really? A captain of what?
L am a captain of crunch.
-Where is your captain now?
-Frank died four years ago,
so it's just me and Josh now.
Lt's been rough sometimes,
but we're okay.
There is a strength to this one.
Captain, the orb!
Where was this image captured?
That's Josh at school, the science fair.
He always walks around with this thing.
See, he thinks it fell from outer space.
-We must locate the boy.
-We're on it, sir.
L really have to be going now.
Thank you for the ketchup.
Okay. You know,
the eggs are just another...
That's the closet.
Sorry about hitting you with my car.
A couple of frat punks get drunk,
miss the last ferry,
stick a rag in their bottle of Stoli,
and then, kaboom !
Suddenly, my morning roll in the hay
with Tracy gets canceled.
L think this is explosive residue.
Don't. Don't do this, Dooley.
l see you getting interested in this.
L see that wacko XFiles gleam in your eye.
That might be the boy, there!
ln that group of Earth children.
What structure is this?
Lt appears to be
some sort of shrine to technology.
This is the best they have to offer?
Their mini-computers are gigantic!
And a slamming home page
means more online buddies.
Dude, while you're waiting,
check these out.
Awesome surround-sound headphones.
Seven ounces, left and right quad.
The sound will blow you away.
Ls that insane?
Lt's like the subwoofers
are actually inside your head.
from all parts of the ship, Captain!
Sir! Structural integrity weakening!
We have got to get out of here!
The sign clearly indicates, "Do not walk."
And yet, they keep walking
and walking and walking!
Apparently, chaos
is the order of the day here.
Doctor,
is Two all right?
This is a big planet.
There might be contaminants
we've never encountered before.
L'll keep an eye on it.
Why don't you take a picture?
lt lasts longer.
Lt's the ice cream man!
Lce cream man, over here!
-lce cream !
-Hey, look, it's the Good Humor man!
Lt's this suit again!
How in Nil did we wind up
with this wardrobe debacle?
-We must have missed something.
-l can't see how, sir.
We carefully studied the only signal
ever intercepted from Earth.
Theplane! Theplane!
When we enter the boy's school,
we must not draw any
undue attention to ourselves.
Yes, we must rid ourselves
of this inappropriate attire
and replace it with clothing that is
the epitome of both hip and now.
Welcome to Old Navy!
-Any ideas?
-Likely a ritual greeting, sir.
Welcome to Old Navy!
-Welcome to Old Navy!
-Welcome to Old Navy!
Welcome to Old Navy!
Welcome to Old Navy!
Welcome to Old Navy.
Welcome to Old Navy!
Welcome to Old Navy.
Can l help you find your size?
L am obviously
the same size as everyone else.
L just meant are you a small, or...
l believe he simply wants to know
the dimensions of your clothing.
Yes, you can help me find my size.
Welcome to Old Navy.
Crew, prepare for
an unrehearsed maneuver.
Come on!
-What the...
-Sorry, sir! lt won't happen again!
L can help you if you'd...
How about l help you take that.
Very...
Yes, this is my size. Welcome to Old Navy!
Excuse me. Do you have a private chamber
where l can try on these garments?
Changing room back there behind hoodies.
Welcome to Old Navy.
Sir, we have arrived at the school.
This can't be right.
One singular sensation
Every little step she takes
Apologies, sir.
Apparently we are on West 44th Street.
One smile
and suddenly nobody else will do
Let's get out of here. Double-time.
-Hey!
-What do you got here, little freak?
-That's mine!
-What do you use it for, playing nerd-ball?
-Whatever it is, it's mine now.
-Give it back!
Or what?
You gonna tell your mommy again?
Can l help you?
L am here for the fifth-grade classroom.
Okay, all right, you're very late,
but you're here, at least.
Lt's been a madhouse.
Half the teachers are out with the flu.
L'm just gonna... l'm gonna have to
throw you to the wolves.
Don't say a word. l will mess you up.
Josh Morrison.
What are you doing here?
Are you the sub?
You would know the sub, loser!
L don't know him !
My mom hit him with her van!
L am Dave Ming Chang, the sub.
What is your name?
-Smellmy.
-Smellmy what?
Smellmy Buttcrack.
L am sure the other Buttcracks
would disapprove of your behavior.
You don't look like a teacher.
-Vaporize the child at once!
-Delay that order.
L am indeed your temporary instructor,
which l shall prove to you now. Observe.
Let's teach them something simple,
shall we?
What the...
The unified field theory. The ultimate
pearl of wisdom in all of the universe.
Now you are educated.
-What is your destination?
Here, let me assist you.
