What Planet Are You From? Page #9

Synopsis: A highly advanced civilization, whose citizens feel no emotion and reproduce by cloning, plans to conquer Earth from the inside by sending an operative, fashioned with a humming, mechanical penis, to impregnate a human and stay until the birth. The alien, Harold Anderson, goes to Phoenix as a banker and sets to work finding a mate. His approaches to women are inept, and the humming phallus doesn't help, but on the advice of a banking colleague, he cruises an A.A. meeting, meets Susan, and somehow convinces her to marry him. The clock starts to tick: will she conceive, have a baby, and lose Harold (and the child) to his planet before he discovers emotion and starts to care?

Take care.

To be clear, this really was

the leader of your planet, right?

If it's your insurance agent,

I'm in deep sh*t.

You're okay, man.

Thanks.

I got an alien, I got an alien!

You know what you said

about not knowing what love is?

Well, I don't know either.

Really?

No, but you married me.

We had a child.

You rescued him

and brought him back to me...

...and then told me the truth

about who you really are.

Maybe that's your way

of saying you love me?

I don't know.

Me too.

Let us celebrate

with Susan and Harold...

...as they renew their marriage vows.

Let this also be a time for

the rest of us to reflect upon...

...and make a renewed spiritual

commitment to our own vows and unions.

Harold and Susan have written

their own vows.

Harold, would you like to start?

Susan, when I married you the first

time, I did it to get into your pants.

Now I'm doing it because I want to

spend my life getting into your pants.

Thank you for marrying me.

And I will do everything possible

to make you and our new son...

Aaron.

...Aaron, very happy.

- That was beautiful.

- Thank you.

And now you, Susan.

Harold, meeting you taught me the

universe is one screwed-up place...

...where everyone's trying

to work out their problems.

But I'm honoured to work them out

with you, because I think I love you.

Very cosmic.

And with that, I again

pronounce you man and wife.

You may now kiss.

That was great.

- That was the wedding I always wanted.

- I know.

What a perfect day.

Your friends seem nice.

I didn't want to bring this up

until after the ceremony...

...but they want me

to be leader of the planet.

- You're kidding.

- No.

- What did you say?

- I told them I had to talk to you.

That's quite an honour.

I'm proud of you.

Thanks. But it means

we'd have to move there.

I could commute,

but that's a long commute.

All my friends are here.

Who? Liz and Alison

and what's-her-name?

- Why do you have to do that?

- Sorry.

I know nothing about your planet. I

don't know what the schools are like.

We're 1000 years ahead.

What do you think they're like?

You're going too fast for the baby.

Don't start. The baby was fine

in the transporter chamber.

Four solar systems,

I never heard a peep.

Okay, I'll commute.

Oh, Christ! Turn that thing off.

Garry Shandling

Garry Emmanuel Shandling (November 29, 1949 – March 24, 2016) was an American stand-up comedian, actor, director, writer, and producer. He was best known for his work in It's Garry Shandling's Show and The Larry Sanders Show. Shandling began his career writing for sitcoms, such as Sanford and Son and Welcome Back, Kotter. He made a successful stand-up performance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and became a frequent guest-host on the series. Shandling was for a time considered the leading contender to replace Johnny Carson (other hopefuls were Joan Rivers, David Letterman, and David Brenner). In 1986, he created It's Garry Shandling's Show for Showtime. It was nominated for four Emmy Awards (including one for Shandling) and lasted until 1990. His second show titled The Larry Sanders Show, which began airing on HBO in 1992, was even more successful. Shandling was nominated for 18 Emmy Awards for the show and won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series in 1998, along with Peter Tolan, for writing the series finale. In film, he had a recurring role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, appearing in Iron Man 2 and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. He also lent his voice to Verne the turtle in Over the Hedge. Shandling's final performance was as the voice of Ikki in the live-action remake of The Jungle Book. During his three-decade career, Shandling was nominated for 19 Primetime Emmy Awards and two Golden Globe Awards, along with many other awards and nominations. He served as host of the Grammy Awards four times and as host of the Emmy Awards three times. more…
