The Last Mimzy Page #3

It's amazing, how did you do that?

It was easy.

First i discovered that spiders

are sensitive to sound waves...

...and seem to move when they

hear various frequencies.

Then I experimented

with the frequencies...

...to make them move in

specific patterns.

I calculated their movements

with my computer...

...and I re-programmed them.

Their circular webs started changing

into something more elongated.

I call it...

...the structured bridge.

This geometric design is

extraordinarily strong...

...and would be equal to

a beam that could hold...

...1,000 pounds per square inch.

Did he do this on his own?

Did you help him?

No, he's done it all by himself.

He's just, sort of,

taken off all of a sudden.

You know,

in the last month or so.

His sister is highly gifted too.

Mm. No, no, no, no.

This is more than highly gifted.

This is genius.

He's gonna win the

national science fair.

...that exist today,

a bridge of this type...

...could span

the entire solar system.

Are there any questions?

"It was brillig and the slithy toves...

"Did gyre and gimble in the wabe...

"All mimzy were the borogoves...

"And the mome raths outgrabe. "

Wait, did that say mimzy?

Uh, yep.

Let me see.

Look, she's got mimzy too.

- With the white rabbit?

- Yeah.

- Ok.

- And this is mimzy.

She came here to find me.

I don't know why.

White rabbit, just like in the book.

You know, he was the one

who was always late...

...for a very important date.

Where did you get it?

We found her on the beach.

Noah thinks she's from outer space...

But he doesn't really know.

Outer space.

Do you believe in aliens?

Aliens? Like flying saucers

and things like that?

Yeah, I guess I do, sort of.

Noah does too.

Oh, well... boys.

Do you think aliens

would ever come here?

Some people think they

might be here right now...

...and we don't even know it.

Really?

But what do they want?

I don't know.

Noah doesn't know

if they're good or bad...

They might help us or kill us...

...or maybe steal our brains.

Steal our brains?

If I show you something

promise you won't tell?

Oh. Like... a secret?

Really? Cool!

What kind of secret?

I can do a magic trick

with my hand.

Really? Yeah. Show me.

Ok.

Whoop... Thank you.

That's, um... That's...

That's a really great magic trick, Em.

Honey, c'mere.

Sweetheart, please, come here!

Come here, ok? No!

- Oh, my god.

- It's ok.

It doesn't hurt.

Watch.

Oh, my god! No! No! No! Uh!

Julie! Julie! Wait up! What's

wrong? Don't you wanna get pai d?

I... I gotta go!

I gotta go home!

-Julie, what's wrong?

- Honey, are you ok?

- What happened?

- Nothing.

What happened?

What did you do?

Nothing, daddy.

I just showed her a magic trick.

You know what?

I'll call Julie in the morning.

I'm sure it was nothing.

It's not just Julie...

It's everything.

I mean what about

Noah's science project, huh?

How did he do that

all by himself?

I mean, usually he struggles,

he needs my help...

...and suddenly he's in

a league of his own.

I mean, something is just not right.

What's not right? Look,

we got two special kids...

...with great minds,

imaginations, it's...

No, you're not getting it!

You know, I'm scared. I...

That... It's... It's

just not normal.

Don't talk like that.

Look, you're overreacting

to this whole...

David, stop it. Open your eyes.

I think we need to do something.

We have to get help.

Yeah, well, all right,

we'll get help. Um...

What kinda help?

No! Uh!

What was that?

Hey, George! What's goin' on?

Stop messin' around, this isn't funny.

Whoa, I just lost power in sector 4.

Keith, see if you can't rerout

power through substation 5.

Sector 3's offline.

Homeland security?

Yeah, no kidding.

Oh, my gosh.

- Hey, Noah, you all right?

- Daddy, what's happening?

Hey, sweetie. It's...

It's a blackout.

The whole neighborhood's dark.

Did you guys hear that sound?

They're saying that it's

blacked out half the state.

Unbelievable.

They don't know what's caused it.

No, well, they...

They will.

They always know exactly

how these things start.

- They do?

- Oh, yeah.

- Yeah!

- That didn't last long.

Are you ok?

I'm goin' down there now.

Oh, man, it's been a crazy morning.

The FBI, the Pentagon's been calling.

Look, I can't talk right now, Bill.

Well, somebody has to have the keys.

Look, Bill, just get

everybody down there now.

- It's Lorna.

- Who?

Your daughter, Nate.

She wants to know what's happening.

Tell her so does the President,

he wants to know too.

Hey, baby, you know where

my computer codes are?

He'll call you back, honey.

Did you try your dresser,

under your underwear?

Ahh, got it.

I knew you should

never have agreed to this.

You had a perfectly good job

at the Justice Department...

And now, all of a sudden,

you're a terrorism expert.

Look, baby, the National Director

appointed me.

What do you want me to do,

call in sick?

But no one ever

actually thought you'd...

I mean, this is Seattle, Nate.

Why would terrorists attack Seattle?

I don't know, Sheila.

Look, we got the Boeing plant...

We got Microsoft...

We got the music experience.

I don't know, babe.

I gotta go.

I'll call you later, baby.

- Nate...

- Huh?

- Your fly.

- Who?

Zip up your fly.

Oh, oh, thank you.

Oh, thank you.

I love you, baby.

It grew right in front of my eyes.

I moved stuff inside the crystal...

And then... then whoosh.

Half of the state blacked out.

What do you think it is, Noah?

I don't know...

But we have to throw it out.

All of them, all of the toys.

Everything, it's just too dangerous.

No!

Em, what if something

terrible's about to happen?

- That won't happen.

- How do you know?

Mimzy told me.

Mimzy, she's one of them.

She came with them.

...tesseract.

Acute, hexagon. Rhomboid...

Acute, tesseract, pyramidal, octahedron...

Acute, helix...

Whoa!

Good morning.

Good morning, everyone.

- Morning.

- Morning, sir.

For those of you who don't know,

I'm Regional Director Nathaniel Broadman.

And this is briefing one of alert 22D.

I think this is the day we've

been training for, everybody.

Training? Nate, we've only had

two meetings.

And thank god for those.

Look, we're gonna do this right,

we're gonna do it by the book.

Stu, you're up first.

What do you got?

This is from NSA, uh...

Global positioning has zeroed in...

On the Queen Anne section of Seattle.

No suspicious net chatter.

How could a surge like that originate

from a residential neighborhood?

That's what we wanna find out.

I got a very bad feeling about this one.

This is important.

No, I'm not taking them

to the emergency room.

Look, uh, I know Dr. Sherman very well.

Please get him to call me.

Eat up, guys.

Can you get me some orange juice?

Can you "please" get me

some orange juice?

I had a strange dream last night.

I dreamed about a bridge.

- What kind of bridge?

- I don't know what kind.

I dreamed that they were

gonna build a really big one.
