Strange Invaders Page #4

You can probably guess

what that was like.

My friends thought

I'd become a serious crackpot.

Everybody else thought

I was a mad killer

who'd be hanged as soon as

they could find the bodies.

Then, then I went to Washington.

I actually thought that they would help.

It was the shortest

investigation in history.

Then I got proof.

That photograph.

I sent it everywhere.

It even took your paper 10 years

before they printed it.

(INDISTINCT P.A. ANNOUNCEMENT)

I guess I got somebody worried, though,

because they started following me.

I'd come home at night...

It felt like people

had been in the house.

It was like they were playing

a game with me.

That's all.

I finally gave up.

This is my way of saying I surrender.

I'm no threat to them here.

I'm no threat to anybody here.

Nurse.

Will you come here, please?

This man has been to Centerville.

He's seen the aliens.

(GASPS) That's right, Willie.

Visiting hours are almost over.

I'm going there right now.

(ALARM BELL RINGS)

I'll take him from here.

Say goodbye to your visitors, Willie.

I'll be with you.

I'll be with you.

I don't know what to think.

A few days ago, my biggest worry

was my telephone bill.

Well, don't come along with me, then.

You suggesting I take a room,

set up shop in the east wing?

That's a good idea.

Let me explain something

to you, Charlie.

You're a professor who devotes

a major portion of your day

carving up bugs and flirting with coeds.

I'm just a simple working girl

who's been making up stories like this

for The National Informer for years,

and I'd very much like to see it.

Can you understand that?

Look, Betty...

I know, I know. Forget it.

(GASPS) Oh.

You got a light, hmm?

Never mind. Never mind.

You're going to need some help.

Oh.

I'm just the guy

who's gonna be able to give it to you.

I've been waiting for this

for a long time.

Okay.

There she blows.

Of all the places

they could have come to...

Probably millions

of light years away, huh?

Oh, sh*t.

Sorry, sir.

No one is allowed beyond this point.

Why is that?

There's been some trouble down the road.

Bigelow, is that you?

Miss Walker's in there too, I presume?

Hi, Mrs. Benjamin.

You two have been more trouble

than you will ever know.

You can wait here with us for an hour.

Then it'll all be over.

What'll all be over?

It's all been negotiated, Bigelow.

They came here 25 years ago today,

and now they're leaving.

Don't move!

Are you crazy?

POLICEMAN:
Hold your fire!

Back! I'll kill her.

I'll kill her. I mean it.

You can't stop them.

Turn around.

Come on, Willie, come on. Give me that.

Here, take this.

Get in the car.

MAN:
Don't shoot!

Okay. Come on now.

Back.

Get away!

Back!

MAN:
Hold your fire!

Charlie...

As soon as you have the girl,

I'll be there.

To tell you the truth,

I really don't expect to be

seeing the two of you again.

Come on, Willie. We'll see you later.

Let's go.

She does not belong there.

Please let her stay.

She's so very happy here.

It's time, Margaret.

Better get her ready.

Daddy! Daddy!

VOICE OVER P.A.:
My dear friends,

we send our greetings and congratulations.

You have reached the end

of a long and arduous project.

When we were rst commissioned to do

our study of this planet and its people,

no one thought we would accomplish

so much in such a short period of time.

When the crisis struck,

we were given a deadline, and we met it.

Some of you gathered

the scientic information we require,

and others studied and participated

in the social structure.

This has proven of great value,

although some of you

may have become too involved.

But I'm happy to know

you'll all be returning with us.

The information you carry with you

will help our leaders to make a nal decision

as to our future

and the future of this planet.

I understand that we have

an addition to our group.

What an amazing and unexpected pleasure

this news was for us here.

Let the little creature come forward.

Let us see.

Little Elizabeth, come forward.

That's right.

CHARLES:
Elizabeth! Come here!

Daddy!

ALIEN:
Mr. Bigelow, your daughter

is about to travel very far away.

It will be very difcult for her to...

Willie!

Willie, hurry up!

Willie!

(TIRES SQUEAL)

Willie!

No, no! Betty! Get back. Get back!

Just give us the girl.

We don't want to harm you.

No.

I really don't think

you have much choice, ma'am.

Give her to us now.

The lady said no, fella.

Don't you people understand English?

No! No! Willie! No!

WILLIE:
Aah!

(SCREAMS)

Now don't you think

you'd like to give us the girl?

No.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Elizabeth.

(LOW RUMBLING)

(PULSING ELECTRONIC HUM)

ALIEN:
It is time, Mr. Bigelow.

We are going to leave.

Daddy, I don't want to go!

Neither do I, honey.

Mommy, help us!

For the love of God, Margaret,

do something!

Now!

Now, Elizabeth!

Do what Mommy told you now!

BENJAMIN ON P.A.: Please remain calm.

Everything is under control.

You're out of danger now.

CHARLES:
Betty? Betty!

BENJAMIN:
Please remain calm.

There's no need to be afraid.

We're here to help you.

Well, save me.

Ready?

How'd you get up there?

Don't ask.

She'll be back.
