Meet Dave Page #7

Synopsis: A spaceship shaped like a human lands face first on Liberty Island. Its crew (of tiny, intelligent, and unemotional beings) is looking for an orb sent from its planet to extract the oceans' salt, which will ruin Earth. The orb is in the possession of Josh, the fifth-grade son of a single mom whose car strikes the ambulatory alien spaceship and cripples its power supply. The crew has 48 hours to recover the orb, throw it in the Atlantic, and leave Earth. Over the course of two days, the ship's crew experiences chaos and emotion in New York. Do Earth's giants - Josh and his mom - have anything to teach these brainy aliens? Meanwhile, mutiny is afoot and the cops are closing in.

Almost, almost, almost, almost.

Okay.

Hey! Yeah. Yeah, that, that look good.

Time for us to go home.

-l'll miss you, Dave.

-And l you.

Remember, l'll never be that far away,

good friend.

A little room, please.

What? No!

Dave!

-FBl!

-Out of the way!

Move, move, move!

-No!

-Hey, what is going on?

Mom, look!

He's okay.

L didn't think we'd make it out of there.

Good thing you have

such big feet, Captain.

We'll have much to explain

when we return home.

We'll find another way to save Nil.

There are plenty of worlds out there

for us to explore.

Yes, No. 3.

But what we learned on Earth

is more valuable

than all the salt in the galaxy.

And when we do return,

it looks like l'll be needing a new No. 2.

L think you'll be needing more than that.

Yeah, Captain! Get in there, Captain!
