Paul Page #7

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.

He's gonna find that contact.

We got him, Zoil. Bring me back

my space monkey, and I'll ...

... guarantee you Level 5

clearance and all the perks.

Great, betther parking space.

I don't know man. I don't

know, he looks awful mad.

F*** him. He's a dinosaur.

It's time for some new blood.

Welcome to

MOORCROF:

Ok, we're nearly there.

This is where we've been headed?

No, I ... I just need a

little stop first, ok?

Do you think we really got

time to be making little stops Paul?

This is something

I really have to do.

Ok, stop here,

that's good.

That's close enough.

Shouldn't we park a bit closer?

No ...

We don't wanna scare her.

Scare who?

- You knock. - You knock.

- I always knock.

Who's there ?!

Uh ... Is that Tara Walton?

Leave me alone !

Miss Walton !

My name is Clive Gollings !

I'm here with my friend

Mr Graeme Willy !

Now, what do you want?

We're here with the alien

that killed your dog 60 years ago.

Let's go, let's just go.

What is this, some

kind of a joke ?!

Hey Tara !

You ...

It's a very loud clock, isn't it?

You have a nerve

showing your face here.

All these years ...

Maybe I should make some tea.

I'll do it.

Huh, ok.

Uh, look, Tara I ...

I only just stopped

believing in you, you know?

I've spent a very

long time trying to ...

... convince folks about what

happened that night.

Everyone said I was mad !

They told me it was a meteor that

squashed little Paul.

They said that I was

concussed hallucinating ...

... but I knew you were real !

I pulled you from that

spaceship myself.

I kept you warm and

comfartable and sat there ...

... with you 'til the

men came to take you away.

Well, word got

out about my story.

Kids used to come and

throw stones at the house.

Call me names.

Then, I just hid myself away.

I spent whole nights up

staring at the sky hoping ...

... that I catch a glimpse of you.

And here you are.

Um, I'm sorry, you know

if I could've done it any other way ...

Oh, it's ok.

You're real.

That's all that matters.

I was sure of it.

And all those folks that ...

... said I was crazy, they

can all go and f*** themselves.

I brought something for you.

I thought you might want it back.

Uh, here you go.

Oh, thank you.

Who do you suppose that is?

Where did that come from ?!

Holy sh*t, it's them !!

I'll take the front !

What the f*** are you

doin' here ?!
