Kay glares at Jay. He's getting annoyed.

INT. MIB LTD - DAY

They get in and slam the doors. Kay starts the car and the

engine HUMS quietly.

KAY:

Seat belt.

JAY:

You know, ya'll gotta learn how to

talk to people. You could be a little

kinder and gentler.

Kay grits his teeth.

KAY:

Buckle up, please.

JAY:

Now did that hurt?

Kay shifts the car into reverse. The awesome power of the

car kicks in and Jay sails forward, THWACKING into the dash.

Kay shifts into forward and taps the gas, SLAMMING Jay back

into his seat.

KAY:

Makin' fun of my ride...

A LIGHTED PANEL rotates into place between the two front

seats. Jay's hand falls by accident on a flashing red button

in the panel.

KAY:

Jay. The button?

JAY:

Yeah?

KAY:

Never push the button, Jay.

Jay jerks his hand away.

CUT TO:

EXT. HIGHWAY - SIDE OF THE ROAD - DAY

The LTD is now stopped by the side of the road, dust swirling

around it.

Ahead of it, another car has pulled over. KAY gets out, JAY

follows a moment later, shaky-legged. Kay walks up to the

window of the car they've stopped. The DRIVER, a guy in his

mid-thirties with a WIFE in her mid-thirties, rolls the window

down.

KAY:

License and registration, please.

The Driver hands over some documents. Kay flips through them.

KAY:

Other license and registration,

please.

The guy digs out two other cards and hands those over. Jay

peers over Kay's shoulder.

The photographs on the "RESIDENT ALIEN ID" cards are of two

friendly-looking reptile types, husband and wife, smiling at

the camera, their long, skinny tongues dangling in a friendly

sort of way.

Kay hands them back.

KAY:

Your resident card has you restricted

to the five boroughs only. Where do

you think you're going?

REDGICK:

It's my wife! She's -- she's -- well,

look!

Kay leans down and looks in the window. MRS. REDGICK is in

front, MOANING in pain, holding her swollen belly. Kay

straightens up, fast.

KAY:

Oh God. How soon?

Mrs. Redgick SCREAMS in pain. Real soon. For the first time

since we've seen him, Kay is nervous.

KAY:

Okay. All right. No big deal.

(to Jay)

You handle it.

JAY:

Me?

KAY:

Sure, it's easy, you just sorta --

catch.

Mrs. Redgick SCREAMS again. Redgick gets out of the car,

worried.

REDGICK:

Are you sure he knows what he's doing?

KAY:

Yeah, hell, sure, he does this all

the time. C'mon, let him work,

Redgick, I wanna ask you something.

Kay gives Jay a supportive SLAP on the back and leads Redgick

away, to the rear of the car. Jay stays in the background

and opens the rear door, tentatively. He leans down, into

the car.

JAY:

Oh God! I see it I see it I see it!

A few yards from the car, Kay turns Redgick to face him.

KAY:

Croagg the Midwife's back on 64th

and 8th. You were headed out of town.

REDGICK:

Well, we're, uh -- meeting someone.

Suddenly a TENTACLE whips out from between Mrs. Redgick's

legs, CRACKS the whip once, and wraps around the door post,

grabbing hold.

JAY:

Oh sweet Jesus Mother of God did you

see that?!

KAY:

(still to Redgick)

So? Who you meeting?

REDGICK:

Well, it's -- a ship.

KAY:

Really? I didn't see a departure

clearance for today.

REDGICK:

You didn't? Uh, well -- it was an

emergency.

Now a SECOND TENTACLE whips out, but this one wraps around

Jay's neck and pulls tight. He GASPS, choking.

JAY:

Guys -- guys --

KAY:

Doin' fine, Ace.

(back to Redgick)

What kind of emergency? What's the

rush to get off the planet all of a

sudden?

JAY:

(choking to death)

Help?! HELP! Hello?!

He starts tugging for all he's worth, but the fight is sort

of going against him, as the tentacles pull him in even harder

than he tries to pull the baby out.

REDGICK:

We just don't like the neighborhood

anymore. Some of the -- new arrivals.
