The Last Mimzy Page #2

- You're not allowed to...

- Got you.

I tagged you.

- You're it.

- Oh...

You're not gonna get me,

you can't get me.

You can't get me.

I'm gonna get you.

Em!

Oh. Man, that feels good.

You got some pretty

intact sand dollars there.

They're nice.

Reminds me of Mr. White.

Try it. This is mimzy's shell.

We'll find a shortwave frequency

The wave connecting you and me

Hello, I love you

Sweet!

Wasn't that just

the most beautiful day, huh?

The beach...

Sweetie, come here, I'm cold,

I need a cuddle.

Yeah, let's...

Aww.

That's good.

Now I'm nice and warm.

God, look at it.

It's so beautiful.

- I love this.

- Me too.

- Look at all the stars, mommy.

- Yeah.

It's so big.

Are we the only people

in the universe?

That is a very big question...

And, um, nobody really knows, honey.

I don't think we are.

I think you're probably right.

So what do you say, guys?

Uh, how about we make

some s'mores, hm?

Well, actually, I'm not hungry.

I'm full too.

My tummy's so full

I'm gonna go upstairs.

M- Me too, I'm...

I'm kinda tired, em.

We can do s'mores tomorrow,

ok, mom?

I have a girlfriend named Marcie.

But she doesn't always like me.

She thinks I'm too smart.

And the girls in my class...

...don't talk to me.

Because I like astronomy...

...and I play the violin.

- Mimzy.

- I know, I'm your friend too.

Tea, ladies?

What's in there?

What did I just do?

How did you do that, Noah?

I don't know, with my brain?

I just looked

at it and it...

Disappeared.

It's not funny!

It is to me.

You better clean that up.

You're not the boss of me, ok?

Hey, Noah, Mimzy knows things.

Oh, yeah? What kind of things?

I think she reads minds.

She knows all about us.

Like what?

She knows our names...

...where we were born...

...and what kind of french fries I like.

That's nice.

And you know what else?

She said dad's gonna call.

That's daddy.

Come on, Mimz.

- Hey, guess what?

- I know. Daddy's coming.

Well, how do you know that?

He just called me from the car.

- Mimzy told me.

- Yeah, mimzy told her.

Daddy! Daddy's here!

Daddy! Yay!

- Daddy, daddy, daddy!

- That's dad, all right.

- Daddy's coming!

- Come on, let's go.

- Hey, guys!

- Daddy, yay!

- Daddy's here!

- C'mere, Em.

Hey, bud.

How are ya? Huh?

Oh, I'm happy to see you guys!

- Hi!

- Hey, you!

Home at last.

And they said

we're just looking for carrots...

...and there was no carrots there.

Mom, can you tell a joke? Oh.

And they were really

dreaming of carrots.

Come on, come on, tell a joke!

- Hey, did you...

- Come on.

I don't know what's got into them.

You know, Emma, she just

hangs onto that rabbit...

Day and night.

And Noah, it's just like

he's on another planet...

You know?

They're not my babies any more.

Aww. No, it's true.

You know, we haven't

played one board game...

...since we've been here.

Not one.

- Yeah?

- You know, we've barely talked...

Apart from at dinner...

And then they run off

before they're done, I...

It's really different, I...

They're growing up.

They'll always be your babies, Jo.

Our babies.

- All right.

- Thanks, Mike.

Grab the bucket, ok.

All right, here we go.

This one's for you.

Why are you giving me a club?

Dad, I'm not gonna play golf, am i?

Ah, come on,

we're gonna give it a try.

All right.

Noah...

Come give it a try.

No, dad, you know I suck at sports.

Oh, now this is not a sport...

This is an obsession. Come on.

Come on, you're gonna like this.

Ok.

Now, you wanna line up, right?

There you go.

Just get in position.

Now, you don't wanna kill it.

You don't wanna kill it, all right?

You just wanna let the gravity...

...just glide the club

right down to the ball.

All right, now then,

it's not about strength...

...it's about control.

Ok?

You ready? Ho-Ho-Ho.

Hold on. Hold on.

Just want to see right

where you are here.

Ok.

Whoa, baby!

I think we've found your sport.

And this, ladies and gentlemen...

...is a basic outline

of the story of DNA...

And of the doctors Watson and Crick...

...who cracked the genetic code

that controls all living things.

And we now believe...

...that genes don't just

control the way we look.

But also how we think

and how we act...

...and how we feel.

So, when people mess

with mother nature...

Look out.

Because pollutants can change us.

And not just chemical

and biological ones...

Cultural ones as well.

Perfectly good DNA

becomes a bunch of useless junk...

...carried from

generation to generation.

And, uh, as a case in point

I'd like you to meet...

...a very special friend of mine.

This is Charlie.

He'd like to say hello,

he's a little shy.

How you doin'?

You don't wanna come out?

No, I think you should.

Gotcha!

Ew! Gross!

Oh, yes...

Gross, oh, that's right.

This is what happens when

you screw with the code.

And don't tell your parents

i said the word "screw".

Please.

This is what happens

when pollutants...

...contaminate DNA.

Let Charlie be a warning.

This could happen to us.

You wanna end up with two heads?

I don't think so.

This can happen to all living things...

And in fact, it may be

happening right now.

Then why don't they do something?

Why don't they stop it?

Excellent question, Wendy.

"Why don't they do something?"

"Why don't they stop it"?

Who is this "they" that

Wendys referring to...

I wonder, huh?

What do you think?

"They" is all of us.

Right?

Ok, thank you.

We'll see you on wednesday.

Keep working on your

science fair projects.

You play golf?

No. What's goin' on?

Nothing's going on, I mean...

I was bored out of my mind.

Noah! Noah, do you have a sec?

I need to talk to you about this.

Yeah.

I'm outta here, dude.

Just relax, Noah, it's ok.

It's not about the test...

It's about this.

Um... Hey, did you, uh,

did you draw this?

Yeah.

Ok. Uh, what was your inspiration?

I mean, where did you

come up with this design?

I was just scribbling.

I do it all the time.

And I've got a whole bookful.

May I?

Here are a few of 'em.

That is incredible.

My favorite one...

There's a few.

Beautiful.

Do you know what these are called?

No.

They're actually called mandalas.

- Have you ever seen one before?

- Mandalas.

No. Never...

Heard of one or seen.

Noah, would it be all right...

If I borrowed these for a little while?

Borrow all you want.

Trade you for an A.

Only kiddin'. See ya.

Sure it's not in one of the other books?

No, it's in here,

it's one of the old ones.

I know I've seen it.

There it is.

I knew it.

It's 12th century,

it's one of the oldest known.

Oh, my god...

That is incredible.

It's almost an exact match.

And you know something else?

This is the same image...

...from my dream.

Larry...

Hey, Noah...

You know what time it is?

Yeah, I know, it's late, but...

You gotta see this.

What is this? I mean

it's way past your bedtime, bud.

It's... Uh...

What is that?

It's part of my exhibit

for the science fair at school.
