Monsters Vs Aliens Page #4

So Link's a little rusty...

I mean, sleep deprived.

You'll be back

to your old self in no time.

And so will I.

What happened to the "there isn't

a jar in the world I can't open" stuff?

Wait. Did you find a jar

you couldn't open? Were pickles in it?

- Where's the giantjar of pickles?!

- What my associate is trying to say

is that we all think the new

Susan is the "cat's me-wow".

I'm sorry.

Thanks, you guys. That is so sweet,

but I have a normal life

waiting for me. You know?

So, tell me, exactly, how this normal

life thing works with you being giant.

I'm not gonna be a giant forever.

Derek won't rest

until we've found a cure for my...

...condition. We're a team.

We could all do with a Derek. Perhaps,

someday, we could make his acquaintance!

Really? You guys want to meet Derek?

First stop, Modesto!

Ginormica, I called your family

to let them know you were coming home.

Now, I also called the Modesto PD

and told them not to shoot at you.

Thanks, General.

OK, remember,

these people aren't used to seeing...

...anything like...

...you, or you...

...or you.

So just be, you know, cool.

Just be... you know...

Follow my lead.

Stop! That was an accident!

Don't destroy anything!

Susan?

- Susie Q!

- Mom? Daddy?

- Did they experiment on you?

- No, Mom. I'm fine.

It's OK. They're with me.

These are my new friends.

Oh, Derek! I missed you so much,

thinking that we'd

someday be together again!

It's the only thing that got me through

prison! I love you! I love this man!

No, B.O. B! That's my mother!

You're suffocating her!

Honey, are you all right?

- I taste ham.

- Sorry, Mom.

He's just a hugger.

Where's Derek?

He's at work, sweetie.

You know how he is about his career.

- We're not gonna celebrate without him!

- Susan!

What do I do

with all your little friends?

Just put out some snacks!

They'll eat anything!

Ambrosia!

How's it going?

Qué pasa, girlfriend?

Way to cut up a rug, Insecto!

Who wants to go

for a swim with the Link?

Hi. I'm Benzoate-Ostylezene-Bicarbonate.

Or you can call me "B.O.B.",

whichever's easier.

Did I come on too strong? I'm sorry.

I'm a little rusty.

I've been in prison my whole life.

Why'd I mention prison?

I didn't mean to scare you.

I'm just going to go.

I feel so stupid.

All right, everyone, just stay calm.

Whatever you do, do not provoke them.

Anyone care for an Atomic Gin Fizz?

It's got quite a...

...kick.

Chlorine! Chlorine in my eyes!

- They're turning on us!

- Everyone run for your lives!

What are they running away from?

That's hilarious, Jim.

That's exactly the kind of

down-home country humour

I'm gonna miss when I'm in Fresno.

This is Derek Dietl,

signing off for the very last time.

- Good night, Modesto!

- Channel 172.

And cut.

Did you like that sign off?

Just made it up.

Oh, my goodness.

Wait, wait, wait! But, but!

Oh, Derek. You wouldn't

believe my last three weeks!

Thinking about you was

the only thing that kept me sane.

- Can't breathe! Ribs collapsing!

- Oh, my gosh! I'm so sorry!

Oh, my goodness. Is that better?

OK. OK.

I'm still kind of getting used to

my new strength.

Wow! You really are big!

Yeah, but I'm still me. I'm still

the same girl you fell in love with.

Except you did just destroy

the Golden Gate Bridge.

But that was the only way

I could stop that giant robot!

You ever think I could do

something like that?

No, I didn't. I can honestly say

it never, ever, ever, ever,

ever, ever, ever, ever,

ever, ever, ever occurred to me.

Look, I know this is a little weird.

OK, it's a lot weird,

but we'll figure it out.

I know that, together, we can find

a way to get me back to normal.

Susan, try and look at this

from my perspective.

I have an audience

that depends on me for news,

weather, sports

and heart-warming fluff pieces.

You expect me to put all that on hold

while you try to undo

this thing that happened to you?

That I had absolutely

nothing to do with?

Yes. That's exactly what I expect.

What about the life we always

talked about? Don't you still want that?

Of course. I just...

...don't see how

I can have that with you.

Derek, please, don't do this.

You have to face facts, Susan.

Don't crush me for saying this,

but I'm not looking to get married

and spend the rest of my life

in someone else's shadow.

And you're casting a pretty big shadow.

I'm sorry. It's over.

Good luck, Susan.

Wow! What a shindig!

Your parents really know

how to throw it down.

What? No, that was a great party,

one of the best I've been to

since I got out of prison.

I must have been at a different party,

'cause that's not

how I interpreted it at all.

I don't think your parents liked me, and

that JELL-O gave me a fake phone number.

Well, at least the garbage was free.

You know? I mean...

Ah, who are we kidding?

We could save every city on the planet,

and they'd still treat us the same way

they've always treated us...

...like monsters.

Right. Monsters.

Anyway, how is Derek?

Derek is a selfish jerk.

- No!

- Yes.

All that talk about "us".

"I'm so proud of us."

"Us just got a job in Fresno."

There's no "us".

There was only Derek. Why did I have to

get hit by a meteor to see that?

I was such an idiot!

Why did I ever think life with Derek

would be so great, anyway?

I mean, look at all the stuff

I've done without him.

Fighting an alien robot?

That was me, not him.

And that was amazing!

Meeting you guys? Amazing.

Dr Cockroach, you can crawl up walls

and build a supercomputer out of a

pizza box, two cans of hairspray, and...

- A paper clip!

- Amazing!

And you! You hardly need an

introduction. You're the Missing Link!

You personally carried

250 co-eds off of Cocoa Beach,

and still had strength

to fight off the National Guard!

And the Coast Guard

and, also, the lifeguard.

Amazing!

B.O. B! Who else could fall

from unimaginable heights

and end up without a single scratch?

- Link?

- You.

Amazing!

Good point, Insecto!

Susan, don't short-change yourself!

Oh, I'm not going to

short-change myself ever again!

- Testify!

- Yeah.

Oh, yes.

Susan!

Way to go, Insecto!

Insecto, look out!

Insectosaurus! No!

You're gonna make it.

It's going to be all right. Look at me.

Don't you close those eyes.

Don't you dare close those eyes.

You can't...

You must be terrified.

You wake up in a strange place,

wearing strange clothes,

imprisoned by a strange being

floating on a strange hovering device.

Strange, isn't it?

Hardly. It's not the first time.
