ZED:
And how did you come to that
conclusion?
EDWARDS:
Hook-head guy. You explain to me how
he can think with a hook for a head.
Answer; it's not his head. His head
is that butt-ugly bean-bag thing
over there. 'Cause if you look at
the snarling beast-guy, he's not
snarling, he's sneezing -- he's got
tissues in his hand. No threat there,
and anyhow, the girl's books were
way too advanced for an eight-year-
old's. And besides, from where I'm
looking, she was the only one who
appeared to have a motive. And I
don't appreciate your jumping down
Sideways glances from the other recruits. Zed sighs.
EDWARDS:
Or, uh -- do I owe her an apology?
CUT TO:
INT. MIB BUILDING - OBSERVATION ROOM/INTERVIEW ROOM - DAY
ZED and KAY stand behind smoked glass, staring at the
RECRUITS, who are still in the shooting gallery, waiting for
a decision.
ZED:
He's got a real problem with
authority.
KAY:
So do I. The guy ran down a
cephlapoid, Zed. On foot. Tenacity.
That I can use.
ZED:
I hope you know what you're doing.
Zed turns and walks away. Kay stares through the glass, at
EDWARDS, who stands alone on one side of the room, apart
from the rest of the group.
Zed reappears on the other side of the glass, coming through
a door and into the shooting gallery. As he talks, Kay turns
and walks off.
ZED:
Congratulations, you're everything
we've come to expect from years of
government training. Now, if you'll
just follow me, we have one more
test to administer, an eye exam.
INT. MIB BUILDING - HALLWAY - DAY
The RECRUITS follow ZED out of the shooting gallery and into
a long hallway. Zed motions them off to the left. EDWARDS is
the last one out of the room, but he stops as he steps into
the hallway.
KAY is outside the door, waiting for him. Edwards recognizes
him from last night.
EDWARDS:
You! Hey, what's goin' on?
The other recruits continue down the hall with Zed. Kay
doesn't answer, just gestures to Edwards to follow him down
the hall, which he does.
KAY:
Back in the mid-fifties, the
government started a little
underfunded agency with the simple
and laughable purpose of making
contact with a race not of this
planet.
As they pass an alcove, Edwards notices the six other
Recruits, who have been herded into a corner. Zed, addressing
them, pulls a neuralyzer from his pocket.
ZED:
Now, if you'll look directly at the
end of this device.
He holds a neuralyzer up in front of them, and the Recruits
stare obediently at it as Zed slips on a pair of black
sunglasses.
Edwards stares, fascinated, but Kay's hand reaches in and
yanks him away, just as Zed's neuralyzer FLASHES WHITE.
INT. MIB BUILDING - HALLWAY - DAY
As KAY leads EDWARDS down an impossibly long corridor, he
hands him a file folder stuffed thick with eight by ten
photographs.
He hands Jay the first picture, a shot of eight or nine MEN
in plain black suits standing around a fifties-style office
with metal desks and fluorescent lights. DEE and ZED are
there, much younger.
KAY:
Everybody thought the agency was a
joke. Except the aliens. They made
contact on March 2nd, 1961, outside
New York City.
Another photograph, a grainy black and white image of two
ships hovering in the night sky -- classic flying saucer
shapes.
KAY:
There were nine of us that night.
Seven agents. An amateur astronomer.
And one poor kid who got lost on the
wrong back road.
Yet another photograph, this one showing a young KAY, in a
shirt and tie, holding a bouquet of flowers, staring at the
open door of the landed flying saucer. ALIEN SHAPES are
visible within.
EDWARDS:
You brought the aliens flowers?
Kay steers Edwards to the right, down another corridor, just
as long as the first.
KAY:
They were intergalactic refugees
with a simple request. Let us use
the earth as an apolitical zone for
people without a planet. Ever see
"Casablanca?" Same thing, no Nazis.
We agreed. So we masked all evidence
of their landing.
Another picture, this one of the 1964 World's Fair grounds,
still under construction. Giant models of rockets mark the
Fair's theme of space travel; most prominent in the
construction are two tall towers, with the flying saucers
now mounted at the top of each.
EDWARDS:
The 1964 World's Fair was a coverup?
