Paul Page #4

Synopsis: Two sci-fi geeks take a pilgrimage to America's UFO heartland. While there, they accidentally meet an alien who brings them on an insane road trip that alters their universe forever. For the past 60 years, an alien named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen) has been hanging out at a top-secret military base. When he discovers he's been taken prisoner, the space-traveling smart ass decides to escape the compound and hop on the first vehicle out of town - a rented RV containing Earthlings Graeme Willy (Simon Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Nick Frost). Chased by federal agents and the fanatical father of a young woman that they accidentally kidnap, Graeme and Clive hatch a fumbling escape plan to return Paul to his mother ship. And as two nerds struggle to help, one little green man might just take his fellow outcasts from misfits to intergalactic heroes.

- The other one ...

- Oh ...

I'm in the can.

I ate a ...

... a closed pistachio.

I'm paying for it.

It's a nice t-shirt.

Oh thanks, I got it at my church.

"EVOLVE THIS"

- It's Jesus shooting Charles Darwin.

Why would Jesus wanna

shoot Charles Darwin?

Because of his blasphemous theories?

Are you men of God?

We're men of science ...

You know, we believe in the ...

... establishment of a biological order

through the maelstrom of physical ...

... and chemical chaos.

The world is 4000 years old and can only

be the product of an intelligent design.

That's whoreshit !!

Um ... alright ...

Well then, please explain how something as complex

as the human eye simply just comes into being?

Just come into being ?!

It's the combination of ...

... billions of years of development

and cost countless species !

What are you talking about ?!

Evolution baby !!

Blasphemy !

- Blasphemy ?! - Nothing that you can

say can shake my beliefs. Perfect.

And the short and certain knowledge that

God made Heaven and Earth and ...

... created us all in his own image.

- His own image ?!

- Yeah ...

Well, I got a question ...

How do you explain me ?!

She's goin'. She's fallin'

Catch ...

And that's Jenga.

Why did you do that ?!

I ... just ... she fainted !

We've gone through this !

But we have to take her with us now !

- No ! No !

- What ...

This is America. Kidnapping a Christian,

that's worse than harboring a fugutive.

Yeah, but she's seen you !

If we leave, she's gonna call the police !

No one's gonna believe this

God bothering cyclop ...

... let's just dump her on the road !

- Just roll her up on the road ...

- No, we can't risk that !

If we take us, then we

can get her on our side.

Yeah, you'd love her to

get her on our side, wouldn't you?

That doesn't make sense.

Look, she'll be fine.

We're quite nice !

All right. What about my passport?

Oh, God ... Guys.

"JESUS has the right of way"

Uh, no !!...

Hollings

Clive

British Subject

Where am I?

Hey, look who's awake?

Daemon ! Daemon !

No, no, we're sorry,

we're not gonna hurt you, i promise.

And we'll let you go as

soon as we can.

You've been decieved by an agent

of Satan himself.

He's evil !

I'm sitting right here, come on !

No, no, he's not evil.

He's just a bit rude.

We're trying to help him get home.

He's from another world.

There's only one world.

Our world !

The world that God, the

father created !

Hey, if it makes feel any better,

my existence only disproves ...

... the traditional notions of

Abraham and todays notion of Chrisian God.

As well as all thrology,

that's all i meant.

Amazing Grace ...

... How sweet the sound ...

What is with you people ?!

Ruth, just listen to me for

one second, if you could just calm down ...

I can't ... drive like this.

F*** this !

What did you do to her ?!

I just transfered my collective knowledge and

experience through her tactile psyscho connective bridge.

Oh, wow, could you do me?

It really takes the head of me.

Oh, come on, please.

Oh, wow ...

Oh, yeah ...

He always knew what was

going on at Battlestar before me ...

... 'cause his mom had cable.

Fine, pull over, I'll do you.

Absolutely not, no spoilers !

I didn't call the Government !

I called the police !

This is not the police's area

of expertise Mr Buggs.

That devil took my doughter.

What do you mean "devil"?

And your doughters name

is Ruth, is it?

That's right.

I brought her up by myself

after her momma died.

Yeah, she's pretty easy to spot.

She's got this eye thing since she was 4 years old.

Do you have a phone here

that your doughter might try to ...

... reach you at if she

decides to call?

Yeah, in the back.

Hey, Peter Parker.

Wanna put the snappy down and

get to the phone?

Right ...

She'll call me if she can.

You mentioned it when ...

F*** you ...

It's not possible !

Okay? He's from somewhere else !

Look, Ruth, you saw it

civilizations out there.
