The Last Mimzy

Ok, everybody.

Ready?

Let's settle down.

Today I'm going to

show you a story.

Let's all tune in together.

A long time ago...

...the soul of our planet was sick.

People had become isolated...

...and warlike.

Our world was frightened.

It was dying.

But a great scientist...

...was trying to save us.

He had tried many times...

...and he knew

he could only try once more.

This was the last mimzy.

It's gotta be my new braces.

I'm not a terrorist, ok?

Ah, you sure about that?

Let's see in your pockets.

That's the third time she's done that.

We're gonna be late for the test.

Have you studied?

All night. I'm freaked out.

C'mere.

Check your messages.

Whoa. Gee, thanks, man.

Courtesy of my cousin Bob.

Took the test last week. Cool.

Listen up. All right?

Now, just a reminder...

Science fair projects are

due one week after vacation.

Oh, come on!

It's gonna be a great fair this year.

There's lots of great exhibits.

Um, you have tests

sitting in front of you.

Noah, you're not an ameba.

You have a spine.

Use it, sit up straight.

That goes for all of you.

Come on, you guys.

Let's get focused here.

You have 30 minutes...

...and begin.

So, how d'you do?

Total choke.

You didn't use the text I sent you.

Mr. White coughed. I think he saw.

You're such a wuss. Hey, look at this.

Whoa. I'm in the front...

I have times four.

Hey, dude,

d'you wanna come over?

Can't. Leaving for Whidbey in an hour.

Whidbey?

For easter vacation?

- How lame!

- Tell me about it.

Hey!

Oh, hey, sweetheart, how's it going?

I packed up the car already.

You were supposed to be home.

Listen, we're gonna leave

first thing in the morning.

I promise. But you gotta tell the kids

there was nothing I could do about it.

- Oh, sweetheart.

- I'm sorry.

I'm gonna get home late

so eat without me, ok?

Emma, where are you?

We're eating.

- Coming, mom!

- Ok.

Know what? It snapped.

Oh, honey, sit down,

we can fix it later.

Please.

No, you're the sensitive little genius.

Why don't you do it?

I can't do it.

I don't have dexterity.

Dexterity? What kind of mutant are you?

Noah. Fine.

Where's the stupid string?

It's in my stupid hand.

Why couldn't I have a normal sister

like everyone else?

Come on, sit down...

So that we can eat like a family, ok?

Yuck!

They killed it!

How else would you eat it?

- Mommy, I don't understand.

- What?

Why did they have to kill it?

He didn't do anything to anyone.

What about that chopped-up cow

you're eating?

What chopped-up cow?

What do you think hamburger is?

Did you have to?

You there?

- Dad!

- Heh!

- You're home.

- Yeah.

Hey, I'm sorry about tonight, ok?

Ok?

Oh, you're in a bad mood, are you?

Is it 'cause Im late?

Hm? What is it?

Your sister or school, what is it?

School! School sucks!

Ok.

What else? Ahhh.

What else?

- Life sucks.

- Life sucks.

- I suck.

- You suck.

All right. Well, just put

it on pause for a second...

...because I wanna tell you,

you're probably right.

Because sometimes life does suck...

...and sometimes school sucks, but...

...you're completely wrong

on the Noah Wilder front.

I should know, I mean

I've lived with him for...

How old are you? 10?

And, uh, I will put it in writing...

...money-back guarantee, full warranty...

...whatever you want, to tell you...

...that Noah Wilder does not suck.

In fact...

...he's the greatest kid I know.

Y- Yeah? Yeah?

Sorry, hope I didn't wake you up.

No, no.

Ah, no, no, listen...

If he accepts the motion, we're done.

Don't you dare,

I'll be there in 20 minutes.

Oh!

Sorry, Jo. Take the kids

to Whidbey, I'll be there later.

Come on, get out.

Come on, sweetie. Get out!

Isn't it pretty?

Oh, look at it, it is so beautiful!

I'll get the keys.

Oh, look at it!

I love this place.

Oh, careful. You ok?

The magic staircase.

- Up you go.

- Magic?

Well, kinda.

Noah, no!

Mommy said you have to wait!

Man, it's cold.

Oh, it's really cold.

Cold water.

What's that?

I don't know. I'll go see.

Let me.

No, don't.

I wonder if it opens.

What's that?

I don't know.

Read the directions.

Do you see any directions?

Come on in, guys.

Keep it a secret.

Dinner's almost on,

you coming down?

Yeah, in a sec.

- What is that?

- Oh, it... I don't know.

Em and I found it on the beach.

Let me see.

Look at all those triangles.

Make a nice paperweight.

Mim...Mimzy.

Mimzy.

Mimzy?

Mimzy.

What are you doing, Em?

Get out of my stuff.

What's that new stuff?

And what's that bunny rabbit?

Where'd they come from?

She was on the side.

No she wasn't.

I think she's the easter bunny.

Ya-Da-Da da-Da.

Give me that.

Give this to me. No.

- Give it...

- No.

Now look what you did.

Give me those.

What are they for?

It's like she's talking to me.

Yeah, right.

Like this?

It's a spinner, Noah.

Uh...

What...

How did you do that?

I did like this.

No, smooth.

Close your eyes.

What is this stuff?

Wow!

Whoa!

Oh, sheesh.

No, don't!

Are you crazy?

Do you even know what

just happened to your hand?

Is it ok?

This stuff could be dangerous.

Maybe we should tell someone.

I showed the green glass thing to mom.

She thought it was a paperweight.

Maybe other people

don't see what we see.

Maybe you can use these

for your science project.

I'm not even gonna do

a science project.

And I bet Mr. White couldn't care less.

- Morning, Mr. Willpower.

- Morning.

I thought you were dieting.

I thought you were meditating.

Aren't you supposed to be in Nirvana?

I am.

Larry, are you seriously eating that?

I haven't had anything

to eat in 8 hours.

Oh, really?

That's called sleeping.

Here. Come on.

Oh, my goodness.

- Ha! No.

- Yes.

I am not so easily tempted.

- What about him?

- Hey, stop it!

Ah, let me focus.

I had another one of

those dreams last night.

Were there any lotto numbers?

No, no numbers. Just that...

That same light and that...

Spinning mandala shape...

- Coming down at me.

- Oh, are you sure?

Because sometimes you forget.

Historically, you've been...

No, no numbers. Just, god,

ever since we left Nepal...

It's that same dream.

I don't get it.

It's like the shape is...

...sucking me into it.

It's... It...

Don't talk.

Just... Just try not to lose it.

Just...

See if it can...

Come back to you, then...

you can remember...

You're trying to get numbers out of me.

- No, I'm not...

- There were no numbers.

It's so sad.

Oh, we could've been so rich.

Could you imagine how many

people we could've helped...

...with that money?

Naomi, let it go, ok?

It was a year and a half

a go, it just happened once.

It was a total fluke.

Larry, you dreamt all six numbers

of a winning lottery ticket.

- We could've won 18 million dollars.

- Million dollars, I know.

How was that a fluke, Larry?

Come on, I'm sorry. I know.

Oh, really?

Is this what's going on right now?

It is, mm-Hm.

You think you can just...

...kiss your way back...

- I do.

You know what?

It's easter vacation, let's celebrate.
