Meet Dave Page #3

-There.

-Thanks, l think.

Josh Morrison. Come with me.

What are you doing here?

You're not really the sub, are you?

You have something that is mine.

Lt is a small spherical device,

How'd you hear about that?

And how can it be yours

if it came from outer space?

Are you an alien?

We've been compromised!

L'm just messing with you.

That's very funny.

lt's very important that l find it.

Do you know where it is?

Let me guess.

lt's, like, top secret or something.

Yes. lt is top secret or something.

Will you help us, l mean me, find it?

Look, l don't have it anymore.

This jerk took it.

Well, we have to get it back.

-Where is this jerk?

-His name is Rich.

Him and his buddies are

probably headed for the deli.

-Lead and l will follow.

-Okay, come on.

Such disturbing images.

-Rich isn't here.

-Do you know where Rich lives?

No, but sometimes

l run into him in the neighborhood.

Everybody on the floor, now!

Empty the register and no one gets hurt.

This planet continues

to reveal its ugly nature.

Lt deserves its fate.

-l said, on the floor, now!

-l am already on the floor.

Gravity prevents me from floating off of it.

Get down now!

Big mistake, man.

Hey, you have forgotten your weapon!

Dave, wait!

That was awesome! lmean, you

totally threw that guy across the room.

L was very fortunate not to be injured.

And the gun.

No normal person could have done that.

Do you have, like,

superpowers or something?

Do you know

what would be very pleasant?

Lf we were to change

the subject of our conversation.

Did you see

last night's sports competition?

You see? There's another thing.

You talk so weird.

-Come on, tell me, what's your secret?

-l have no secret.

-Oh, yeah? Quick, where are you from?

-l am from right here in this city.

Where exactly? Give me an address.

The Statue of Liberty.

You live at the Statue of Liberty?

Yes, the Ming Changs have lived at the

Statue of Liberty for many generations.

Now, let us locate the orb.

Look, l don't know where Rich is now,

but tomorrow's my mom's birthday.

We're going to our neighborhood

street fair. Everybody goes.

L'm sure he's gonna be there.

You know, if you want,

you could come with me and my mom.

Sir, we can't wait until tomorrow.

Our power supply is dwindling.

This child is useless.

We must find the orb on our own.

L disagree. Without guidance,

we might not find it in time.

Contrary to expectations,

Josh has been quite helpful to us.

We will stick with him.

Man, you are awesome at this!

Lt's like you've got

super video-game powers, too.

-Are you sure you're not a superhero?

-Absolutely.

Fine, l give up. l'm just happy to be

able to play with somebody besides Mom.

Lnteracting with your mother

makes you unhappy?

Nah, l don't mean to complain. She tries.

Lt's just that Dad was a lot better.

You know, my dad was a hero in real life.

-He saved, like, a million people one time.

-That is impressive.

Yeah, we miss him. Especially Mom.

Now she spends all her time

smothering me.

-She cuts off your air supply?

-Josh, l'm home!

Oh, hey! What are you doing back here?

Some guys with a gun

tried to rob the store,

and Dave stopped them

and saved everyone!

-lt was awesome!

-What? What gun?

-Mom, Mom.

-Are you all right?

Mom, l'm fine! lt was so cool!

Dave just took them out.

Man, l wish l could do that.

But look at me.

L'm the smallest fifth-grader

in New York City.

-You are not small. You are a giant.

-Yeah, right.

Josh, the most powerful force

in all the universe

often comes from the smallest star.

Dave? Would you like to stay for supper?

Sir, the longer we're in their presence,

the greater the danger of exposure.

Yes, l will stay.

Good.

Although, if you thought

my driving was dangerous,

wait till you try my meatloaf.

Meat Loaf?

-What are you looking for?

-l don't know.

L'll tell you when l find it.

You know something, Dooley?

We gotta find you a new hobby.

Stevie, please just hold the insult.

Please.

Oh, l forgot today

was Arts and Crafts Day.

Dave, would you mind

helping me clear the table?

You know, don't worry about it.

l got it. l'm...

This is something l do all the time.

L'm constantly dropping stuff.

Don't even worry about it.

Men Are from Mars,

Women Are from Venus. "

Yeah, that's my...

l would... My sister got that for me.

l would never...

She just thinks l need

to get back in the game, and...

Tell your sister there is no life on Mars!

Believe me.

Okay.

This rendering. What is it?

That's just something l felt.

-You felt this.

-Yeah, l did.

L did. l don't really paint like that anymore.

And why not?

Well, things have changed.

And what is the feeling

demonstrated here?

Well, how does it make you feel?

Feel?

Lt makes me feel off-balance.

Off-balance, yeah.

That's... That's close.

L remember when l painted this,

l just felt love.

Huge and exciting and crazy,

just love.

How do you know when you feel love?

Oh, l think when you feellove,

you don't need to ask that question.

L see.

Time for me to exit into the night.

Okay.

Well, thank you again

for being there for Josh today and...

And, yeah, l think tomorrow will be fun.

l'm glad you're coming with us.

So am l, Gina Morrison.

Okay.

-Good night, Dave.

-Good night, Gina.

Do you mind if l rest here?

Sure.

This appears to be a safe port.

We'll join this urban camper.

You ain't crazy, are you?

The last guy was here,

he said he was from outer space.

What planet?

And the party continues.

Here. Here you go.

Gets a little chilly at night.

Did you see that?

This man has nothing,

yet he offers to share

his sole source of warmth.

Why?

Lt seems they are a more complex species

than we imagined.

-Yes?

-My findings are incomplete,

but l have noted more atypical behavior

spreading throughout the ship.

Ls that so?

Well, l think we all just need

a good night's rest, Doctor.

-Dang!

-Excuse me?

Working rather late, No. 3.

L was just doing

some additional cultural research.

And what have you found?

L stumbled onto an interesting file

in the alien database, sir.

Every man, woman and child

is forced to view it once a year.

Lt could be helpful in understanding them.

Show me.

You have not changed

since our days at the Academy.

L remember the late nights

studying together.

And the nutritious protein squares

you prepared for us.

L would not have been able to graduate

without your help.

And, yet, here you've become

our generation's most renowned captain.

Yes.

Here it is.

What is it you want, Mary?

What do you want?

You want the moon? Just say the word

andl'll throw a lasso aroundit

andpullit down.

Hey, that's a pretty goodidea.

l'llgive you the moon, Mary.

L'll take it.

Lasso the moon?

-Physically impossible!

-Absurd.

-Good night, Captain.

-Yes, Three, good night.

L must say, sir,

these Earth creatures keep surprising me.

A most confusing place.

lt makes my head spin.

L guess l'd better hold on, then.
