We Are Not Alone Page #3

Synopsis: Warners' publicity releases, intended for newspapers,on this film state that Paul Muni worked closely with James Hilton on the adaptation of Hilton's book for this film. Given that most publicity releases of the time (and also now) are best when taken with several grains of salt, this may or may not be true: Dr. David Newcome lives with his wife Jessica and son Gerald in the small English town of Calderbury. Jessica, conventional and somewhat stupid, is unable to understand the sensitive little boy and her stern, unsympathetic discipline aggravates Gerald's nervousness. The doctor is called to care for Leni, an Austrian dancer stranded in England, who has tried to commit suicide, and he decides she is just the person to hire as a governess for Gerald based on, evidently, no logic at all but it does move the plot. Jessica learns the true story of Leni's background and demands she be discharged. Dr. Newcome arranges to have Leni enrolled in a music school. Gerald, being sent away to stay

I highly recommend

that you get there.

Silicon wheels, 360 degrees.

- Yes.

Take it for a spin.

I don't want to.

I'm not interested.

Stop it!

F*** you.

- Enough already!

Stop it! I don't want to!

Oh, suddenly you don't feel like it.

F*** off. Get off of me.

Calm down!

B*tch.

- F*** off!

Son of a b*tch!

Let me see.

I took a first-aid course.

There must be something here...

Sh*t, it's out of paper.

One second.

It's nothing.

You got bruised, it's just...

a little red.

Are you okay?

Does it hurt?

That's it.

You hear, Eddie? There's a

suspicious suitcase near Gate 2.

Yes, I know.

I'm on my way over.

Good evening, May.

Good evening.

I don't think they look like that

in real life.

I missed you.

Really?

A little.

- Yeah, me too. A little.

About what happened that night...

I just wanted to say

I'm really sorry.

I... I didn't mean to...

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

Besides, you're leaving soon.

- In two days. Yes.

Two days...

Have I introduced you to my friends?

Alex, Michael...

We have fascinating conversations

sometimes.

I never had a doll

when I was little.

It took me a while

to get into their head-space.

I actually had lots of toys.

My parents had

a small beachfront hotel.

It was empty most of the year,

but...

in the summer months

it would fill up

with families with other kids.

That was really fun.

But then, when summer was over,

they'd all disappear at once

and I'd find all kinds of toys

they forgot or just left behind.

Check me.

What?

I want you to check me.

Why?

Because I trust you.

No, there's no need.

Besides, I don't have

my metal detector.

C'mon, loosen up.

What is that?

"Eddie phone home."

"Eddie phone home."

Wow.

"We come in peace."

You're great, Eddie.

Thank you, May.

Do you know that people spend

one third of their lives sleeping?

Do you think that's a waste?

I think that's the best third.

People are prejudiced against sleep...

Ow!

- Sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I woke you up,

I just remembered that...

How's that? Nice?

Yes, definitely.

Ever had a girlfriend, Eddie?

Nothing serious.

And anything not serious?

No.

Why not?

I don't know. I think...

I never really had time

for relationships.

I believe that relationships

take up energy

that I personally preferred

to spend on, you know...

other things...

You know, preparing...

Preparing for... - For what?

Uh... I don't know...

It's basically a matter

of different priorities.

I think getting to know people is...

something you have to learn

when you're still a kid.

Otherwise you...

never really know how.

It's beautiful.

Yes, it's very beautiful.

I don't want you to go.

I want you to stay with me.

Yes, but I have no choice.

If I don't go... - We're having a

good time together, aren't we?

Don't you like being with me?

- Very much.

Yes, very much.

Did you ever consider

that it might not be true?

What?

The whole "Fifth Cycle" thing.

It's possible, isn't it?

It's possible that you'll

get to Easter Island on May 23rd

and you'll sit there all alone

and no spaceship will come

and the world won't end

and nothing will happen.

No, that's not possible.

It'll happen.

This cycle is about to end, May.

There's evidence, there are signs.

Do you really think it's

that easy to run away, Eddie?

What do you think will happen?

You'll sit there,

wave your finger,

and a flying saucer will stop by

and save you from this shitty life?

It won't happen.

- It will happen.

It will happen.

It doesn't matter

what I think...

or what you think.

It will happen.

It's already happening.

Global warming,

tsunamis, hurricanes,

AIDS, SARS, epidemics,

wars, nuclear armament...

Do you think it doesn't mean a thing?

Could all that be meaningless?

It means something, right?

The Mayan calendar was proven to be

accurate. There's proof, May.

There's also a prophecy

in the Book of Daniel

and in the Gospels

of the New Testament.

And the statues on Easter Island

have been there for

thousands of years, right?

And the pyramids,

and Stonehenge?

They're there, right?

Yes or no?

Yes.

The end of the world is coming.

It has to.

That's just the way it is.

We have to start all over again.

Goodbye, Sasha.

You're a good guy, Eddie.

- Thanks.

Thanks, Zaltzman.

I wish you well.

Okay, enough. Back to work.

Good luck.

Dear...

Dear people.

In a few days

I'm leaving on a journey

of thousands of light-years.

Due to Einstein's Theory

of Relativity

when I get back

I'll only be a few years older,

but...

you'll all be gone.

According to a large body of

archeological and scientific evidence,

on the 23rd of May

the Fifth cycle will come to an end

and a new cycle will begin.

Eddie, are you crazy?

What do you think you're doing?

I know that many of you

don't believe me...

Eddie, come out!

...but I felt I should tell anyone

who might want to join me

and say goodbye to those who

don't want to.

Eddie, I'm warning you!

While fulfilling my duties

here at the mall

I've always tried to give each and

every one of you personal attention.

You were always like

one big family to me.

And if I could,

I would hug you all now.

But I can't.

For the sake of

the coming generations,

I hope that the next cycle

of mankind

will be better in every way

than the current one

which is ending now.

Eddie, I'm warning you!

May...

If you can hear me...

I wish I'd met you sooner.

I'm sorry we didn't have...

enough time...

to get to know each other...

longer. I'm sorry.

Open up!

Thank you very much

and have a nice day.

Well done, Eddie.

Well done!

Motivation, drive, focus!

"...The end of this civilization

isn't necessarily the end

of the human race.

This book was written

for those of you

who can bravely face the inevitable.

Those of you who are strong enough

to overcome your doubts

and lack of faith

and are determined enough

to bear the Ioneliness of knowing this.

You are the foundation

for the rebirth

of a new world which will rise

from the ruins of the Fifth Cycle."

Hi, May.

Hi, Eddie.

For your trip.

Thanks.

It was on sale.

So what are you going to do now?

I don't know.

But I don't feel like staying here.

Then where will you go?

It doesn't really matter now,

does it?

Bye, Eddie.

Eddie?

Where are you coming from?

My apartment.

Did you pack this suitcase yourself?

Yes.

Was there anyone else with you

when you packed it?

No.

Ten...

nine...

eight...

seven...

six...

five...

four...

three...

two...

one...

boom.

So when does it start?

What?

The end of the world.

It already started.
