The Last Mimzy Page #4

Across the whole universe.

And you know what?

It's gonna come right to our house.

- Hello, Noah.

- Mr. White.

- Who is it, Noah?

- Is your mother ar...

Oh, hello, Mrs. Wilder.

I'm so sorry to barge in

on you like this.

I was gonna call

but I thought it would be better...

...if I came by in person.

This is my fiance Naomi.

- Hello.

- Do you have a minute?

- Uh, sure, come on in.

- Great.

Ok, thank you.

Uh, please, sit down.

Uh, Noah, do you think your mother and I

could have a moment or two alone, please?

Ok, go finish breakfast, sweetie.

I... guess. Sure.

Whatever.

- Is everything ok?

- Yeah.

Something is going on

with your son...

...and I'd like to talk

to you about it.

Ever since the science fair...

But really even before that.

Yes, I know, I...

I've been feeling the same thing.

There's something

I'd like to show you.

Uh, what is this?

Uh, this is a Tibetan painting.

It's called up mandala.

It's a symbolic

representation of the universe.

This one's actually

almost 1,000 years old.

Well, it's... beautiful...

But why are you showing it to me?

These were drawn by your son.

Noah drew these?

Amazing.

When I saw Noah's drawings...

...they really struck a chord.

Now especially this one...

...which is particularly rare.

Yeah, this is actually an

astrological configuration.

The books says it's a map

to the past and future.

Um, in Tibet, uh...

They believe that there are

extraordinary children...

...with this very special knowledge...

And... And abilities.

Uh, they are considered

actually very rare souls.

Very gifted, like Noah.

They're called Tolkus.

And then they even

have a particularly...

Uh, specific means of

identifying these children...

Markings, on their hands.

Palm readers

can look at their lines...

And tell if they're one

of these special beings.

We met some of these kids

and I actually had the honor...

...of being able to look at

their palms, which was...

Naomi studied with a palm

reader for several years.

She's really...

She's quite good.

- Larry... Thank you.

- No, I mean you are.

Well... You're

very gifted. So...

Can she look at mine?

Honey, what are you doing here?

I couldn't help it,

I... I wanted to look.

Will you?

Uh, well I'm...

I'm not actually an expert...

Mom, please.

Uh... I'm sorry...

I just don't believe

in all of this stuff.

I know it sounds really weird...

But there are many cultures

that take this very seriously.

Ok.

Let's see.

Do you see anything?

This is a very good hand.

Really.

This is what lamas

would call auspicious.

Meaning that you will

have a very good life.

But is it special?

It's very special in its own way.

It's just not what I was,

uh, talking about before.

What about mine?

Um...

Would...

Ok.

What is it? What's wrong?

Huh, this is a...

A very special hand.

Do you see how simple the lines are?

I've never seen anything so pure.

What does it mean?

It means you have a remarkable child.

Do you have a copy machine?

We need to find some

way to document this.

Maybe we could show it

to some people?

Uh, no, sorry, I don't.

Mom, sure, you do.

No, I'm sorry. Look, uh...

I, just... This is all starting to feel...

...too strange for me.

It's been so strange

for both of us as well.

I'd just like you to stop.

Thank you for your time.

We should go, I think.

Thanks.

That's a very cute bunny.

She's mimzy, she's my teacher.

She teaches me everything.

She taught me about the

painting and the book.

She told me it was

called the 7 mountains.

My daughter has a very

active imagination.

Oh, come on.

That's not what it's called, is it?

...the recent mysterious blackout...

...are now zeroing in on Seattle...

...as the likely source.

And in other news, 40 are dead...

Hey, why don't you,

uh, come to bed?

No, I... I'm not tired.

You gotta... You gotta stop

thinking about this stuff...

- You really do.

- No, I can't!

David, the lines on their hands...

I've never noticed them before.

All right, look, we... We...

I mean, what do you know

about palmistry?

This woman, she could've

told you anything.

- How would you know?

- Emma knew the painting!

She knew what it was called.

It's just not possible.

I mean, I think you're just

making way too much out of it.

Oh, David, you said that

we'd get help now.

All right, what are we

gonna tell a doctor?

Our kids have funny

lines in their hands...

...and they make weird drawings?

I just don't... I don't buy

any of this stuff, you know.

I don't understand.

What do you mean?

But I don't want the world to end...

Ever.

I love the world.

I don't want it to die.

I know. I know.

With all my heart.

I love you so much.

- Good morning, everybody.

- Hey.

- Morning

- Hi.

- Can I get you something?

- No, no. No. No.

I got it. I got it.

It's fine.

Dad, you're eating breakfast at home.

Yes, I thought it would be

nice to join you. Why not?

Whoa, take it easy there on the sugar.

But dad, I always have this much.

Hey, Noah, stop.

Hey, Noah...

Where are your glasses?

How come you're not wearin' 'em?

Don't worry about it, it's ok.

Noah, go and get your glasses.

I don't need 'em.

Of course you do,

now go and get your glasses.

Mom, lighten up.

Noah, come on, now,

don't talk to your mother that way.

- Do what she said.

- Oh, but dad, I-I'm...

No, do what she said,

go get your glasses, ok?

- I think mimzy's sick.

- What's that?

I think mimzy's sick.

Can you tell?

Something's wrong.

She's getting weaker.

I'm afraid she's going to die.

She's a stuffed animal, Emma.

Now, you gotta...

You know, stop it with this mimzy stuff.

Ok, here's what I'd like you to do.

I'd like you to just...

Put mimzy away, put the

rabbit away, all right?

So that we can have a really

great breakfast together.

Emma, put the rabbit away.

What is wrong with this family?

I mean it's not...

Look, I want you to

put the rabbit away, ok?

All right?

Just...

Could you pass the sugar?

Dad, you don't need that much sugar!

And all of a sudden, I kind you not...

...the sugar starts to rise by itself up...

...it forms this pattern,

and it comes over...

...and all of it lands in my bowl.

Now, I looked at her

and she's just smiling.

Very, very peacefully,

just looking at it.

And, I mean, wh-what is this?

This is so far out of my league.

I...

I've heard of...

Psychokinesis being practiced

by advanced meditators before...

...but I always thought

it was just a metaphor.

No, come on,

this is not a metaphor...

...we're dealing with, it's way

beyond metaphor at this point.

- It's not...

- And I'm sorry that I was...

...just so dismissive the other day.

It was just that all

of this is so beyond...

...and we...

We just don't know where to turn.

So we called you

because we thought that...

...maybe it could be related

to Noah's drawings...

...and the paintings in the book.

Uh, we... We just

don't know what to do.
