she can save an hour a day...

and everybody gets their mail

by 3:
00. lmagine, 3:00.

Oh, and l got a ''holy sh*t'' idea too.

Look at this.

Now this may be the most efficient way

to store solar energy. Okay? Take it.

- Well, what am l gonna do with it?

- What the hell am l supposed

to do with it, huh?

You know what that light was?

You know what that sound was?

-Tell us.

-l'm gonna tell you what it was.

-Well, tell us!

- lt was a damn alien.

- Don't say that.

You don't know what it was.

- l know what it is, Nate.

- You don't know what it was.

Don't say that.

- Well, tell us!

- lt's a goddam mistake,

is what it is!

Okay? lt was supposed

to happen to someone smart, someone

scientific, someone who's a leader.

But it didn't. lt happened

to me, George freakin' Malley.

Look at him. Now look at him. Look!

Jimmy?

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

- l'm sorry.

- No, it's all right.

- l-l-l'll pay for it.

- All right.

Bonnie. Bonnie, please.

l-l-lt's ok--

Oh, man.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Who was that? Customer?

lt's Banes.

Says he can't work here no more.

Sorry.

Why didn't he talk to me?

- A little bit scared, l guess.

- Jesus Christ.

Look, George, it'll wear off.

They'll forget.

Their cars are gonna break down--

- Hi.

- Hey, Doc.

Hi.

- Energy vibrations. What is it?

- l don't know.

- T-- Telekinesis? What? What?

- Yeah, maybe. Uh, maybe, yeah.

You think it's gettin' out of hand?

Well, look, you know,

l was, l was mad, all right?

l was pissed off,

and l'm not mad now, okay?

Good. l'll sound the all-clear,

call off the paratroopers.

Jesus, George. Now, listen.

- You owe me a CAT scan.

l want more blood.

- Mm-hmm.

- Also, you look like hell.

- Ah, that's good.

Doc, what's the matter

with everybody?

They won't give me a chance

to explain anything.

l look at them--

l look at them, and they--

they look at me like

l'm a green bug or something.

- Give them some time, George.

- Now, look, l have an idea.

Now, you look at this.

Now, look at this.

Now, now, look at that. Now, l-l-l'm

a big deal at the Harmon Library.

l can, l can take up to 30 books

a night, okay, and l told them

l'd be part of this.

l said that l-l-l would put out

a table and...

- Your pressure is way up now.

- and l would sit there and

people could ask me questions.

You know, meet George Malley.

What do you think?

Uh, like a circus attraction.

Oh, God, Doc, please.

- Yeah.

- You know, l, uh--

You see, l c-c-can explain

to them once and for all.

l-l could share

my ideas with them,

you know, and then l-l-l

could get my life back together.

Come see me for that scan.

Take it easy on sugar and salt.

Okay? And do like l told you all your

life. Breathe in and out. Okay, George?

Yeah.

- Come on. Give it!

- No.

- Give it. Come on!

- No!

- You're not careful. You'll break it.

- Al, what do ya got there?

- Please, l just wanna look at it.

Hey. That's dangerous, sweetie.

- He bought it.

- What?

lt's a piece of

the mirror George broke.

Richard Smick is

selling them at school.

- Oh, you're kidding.

- lt's hot! Feel it.

lt's not hot.

Richard said the aliens probably

took George Malley away...

and put this man in his place.

- This man?

- Like he's not human.

That's really dumb,

and it's really mean.

Can't they just look in his eyes

and see who he is? Can't you?

Do you remember, when daddy left,

how people treated us differently?

Even our so-called friends.

Remember how much it hurt?

You don't do that to people.

How much you pay for that?

- A quarter.

- A dollar.

- What's the truth, Al?

l paid a dollar.

l was gonna check it with my magnets.

Wait a minute, wait a minute,

wait a minute.

Do you see something

really strange in there?

- What?

- What?

A sucker.

- No.

- You paid a dollar for nothing.

- You're a goner.

- Nice job, Al.

Hmm.

Lace.

Hi.

Hi.

l just-- l just called you.

- You did?

- Mmm. Come in, come in.

l'm so, so glad you came.

Well, l was just--

W-Why-- Why were you calling?

l found some things out, Lace.

Things, uh, are coming clearer to me.

Or, at least,

they're, they're starting to.

- Things?

- Mmm.

l wanna talk to the people, Lace.

l-l don't want them to be scared of me

or, or frightened.

l-- l mean, l wanna,

l wanna tell them what l know.

So l've, l've decided

to speak at the library fair.

Do-- Do you think that

they'll listen to me?

What would they do, throw stones?

Oh, my God, please sit down.

l can't believe this.

Would you like something

to drink? A beer.

- No.

- What? What can l get you?

Scissors.

l can hear her heart beat

From a thousand miles

And the heavens open up

every time she smiles

And when l come to her

that is where l belong

And l'm runnin' through her

like a river song

She gives me love, love

love, love, crazy love

She gives me love, love

love, love, crazy love

She's got a fine sense of humour

when l'm feelin' low down

And l'm comin' to her

when the sun goes down

Take away my troubles

Oh, take away my grief

Take away my heartaches

in the night like a thief

She gives me love, love

love, love, crazy love

She gives me love, love

love, love, crazy love

And l need her in the daytime

l need her

And l need her in the night

l need her

And l wanna throw

my arms around her

- Have you done this before?

- And kiss and hug her

- Nope.

- Hmm.

- And kiss and hug her tight

- Up or down.

- When l'm returning

- Down.

From so far away

Give me some sweet lovin'

lt brightens up my day

And it makes me righteous

And it makes me whole

And it makes me mellow

right down to my soul

She gives me love, love

love, love, crazy love

She gives me love, love

love, love, crazy love

ls it close enough?

You tell me.

You give me love

Give me love

- Crazy love

- Uh, it's pretty close.

Love, love, love,

love, crazy love

You give me love, love

love, love, crazy love

You're running away?

Are you comin' back?

Hmm.

Hope so.

- Okay, George?

- Huh-huh.

Oh, hi, Doc.

- Welcome.

- Do you improve your mind

with all this reading?

Yes, Doc.

Lady Chatterly's Lover?

Yeah, well-- All right, well,

you know, that's kind of, uh--

that's kind of a code book for anyone

who, uh, wants to understand...

a woman's heart and mind.

- l read it twice.

- Ah, George, can you, uh--

can you name the presidents

forwards and backwards for these people?

No, but l can name some, uh, forward

presidents and some backward ones.

You know, l-l can really only tell you

what l've read in these books and, uh--

- He looks better.

- Yeah, yeah he does.

- Well, um, ask me something.

Uh, l'd be, l'll be glad to answer

any question that you have, or a--
