Out of the way, grandpa.
I got a major withdrawal
to make.
Oh!
What do you have that's
nonfat with less than % sugar?
Napkins.
What about you, kid?
I'm about to go rocky road.
Hit it.
Your cash request
has been denied.
Ohh! Unh!
Where do you think
you're going?
Good work, Ben.
Oh, yeah.
I'm ready for anything.
Bring it on.
What's next?
We're heading off to see
your Aunt Vera for the weekend.
Aw, boring old aunt Vera?
¶
When aunt vera said she
wanted to move away from it
all, she really meant it.
Oh, man.
This summer was supposed to be
About f-u-n, not hanging out in
some old lady's place.
I like aunt Vera.
Duh.
That's because you act like
you're years old.
It's been years since I've
seen max and the kids.
I'm not sure I'll even
recognize them.
Stop by and say hello.
I'd like that.
Ohh! Help me-mm-
This is gonna be so boring.
Their idea of excitement in
this place is probably watching
the grass grow.
Whoa!
Did you see that?
See what?
The heat must be frying that
pea-sized brain of yours.
Seriously, why do old people
have to live where it's so hot?
Hey!
Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!
Huh, they really make you
feel welcome here.
Just watch your cheeks.
Vera's a pincher.
Max.
Vera.
I can't believe you're
finally here.
And look at you two.
So grown up!
Ow.
Ow.
Come on in.
I can't wait to chew the fat
with all of you.
Ugh.
Why do old people's houses
always smell like somebody's
cooking socks or something?
Oh, Vera, this is delicious.
Now, what are these brown
chunks in the mold?
Pork chops.
And the white parts are
cauliflower.
So, Ben, what have you been
doing so far this summer?
Dealing with
alien life forms.
Oh, you.
Aunt vera, is that a stuffed
red-billed north american
chickadee?
Ohh! How perceptive, Gwen.
And did you know the song of
the red-billed north american
chickadee is actually...
a call indicating alarm or
excitement?
I am totally stuffed.
Ben, would you like
some candy?
Now we're talking.
Ugh!
Coffee as a candy?
Is this some kind of joke?
I need to use the bathroom.
It's att*ck of the old people.
I got to get out of here.
And this one is a Valentiana.
Can you hear the ocean?
Loser.
Loser.
Ha ha ha!
Ben?
See you.
Wouldn't want to be you.
There has to be something fun
to do around here.
Hello.
Mm. Apple pie.
Ecch.
No way.
Ninja old people.
Wonder what Mr. Friendly's
up to.
This place just keeps getting
Weirder by the minute.
Aah!
I didn't see your face suddenly
pop on the back of your head.
I swear.
What kind of vitamins are these
freaky old people taking?
Come on.
Let me go!
Fore!
No!
Aah!
Ok. What just happened here?
Grandpa, Gwen!
Shh.
Your Aunt Vera's in bed.
Seriously?
It's, like, only : .
Never mind.
Listen.
This whole place is way
creepier than I thought.
First, this old lady runs up a
wall and then munches a fly.
Then Marty, that weird
next-door neighbor, is an E.T.
or something with a face in the
Back of his head and these
long, sticky arms, and this body
that oozed right through this
gate, and-
Ben, you snuck out.
Aunt Vera was hurt.
Eh, she's old.
She'll forget.
Ok. I say I go four arms, and we
check out Marty's apartment.
Well, maybe we should do
Some investigating,
but you stay as you are.
Us old fogies don't forget
as much as you think.
You know, ever since you've
had that watch, you're like a
magnet for the weird.
You're right.
Very funny.
Hello?
Anyone home?
Well, nothing here seems
out of whack.
Except for what he rolled up
in his rug that was right here.
You two sleep well.
I'll be in the guest room
if you need me.
But, Grandpa-
There's nothing more we can
do tonight.
I'm going for an early walk in
the morning, but once I'm back,
we'll check things out again.
Now, get some rest.
Prune juice, prune juice,
And, oh, what a surprise,
more prune juice.
Why does it seem old people
were always old?
Morning, Aunt Vera.
How'd you sleep?
Just fine.
How about you?
Fine, Aunt Vera.
I made you some coffee.
Sorry!
Clean it up!
Clean it up right now!
I'm sorry.
Where did your
grandfather go?
He said he was going for an
early walk.
Well, behave yourselves.
I'll be back soon.
She's totally one of them.
One of what?
Whatever's possessing
these old people.
Something or someone's got to
Aunt vera and who knows how
many other of the fossils
around here.
So, where we headed,
Sherlock?
We need to get to that
trapdoor by the dumpster.
Is the food supply ready
for transport?
The pods are in the final
stages of gestation.
What about the young ones?
Too chewy.
They need to age more before
they get nice and tender.
I'm not talking about eating.
The boy suspects too much.
It's right over there.
Just follow
the disgusting smell.
Duck!
Run!
Guys, what's going on?
They're everywhere!
I know.
Come here.
I'll protect you.
Let's get out of here.
Oh, this is not good.
No!
Come on.
The trapdoor.
Unh!
Got it.
That's scary.
I'm starting to speak mutt.
Whoa!
Does the expression "look
before you leap" mean anything
to you?
Move it!
These tunnels must go under
the whole complex.
Aah!
You wouldn't want to hurt
old Grandpa Max, now, would you?
Hey, short, dumb, and hairy,
rule one, he's not Grandpa.
He's an alien freak.
and that leads to rule two,
which is we kick alien butt.
What?
Whoa! You don't come
with seat belts!
Remember?
Look out!
Hey, freak show, what do I look
like, a crash-test dummy?
Listen. I don't know
what it is, but I
picked up some kind
of scent in Here.
It's like everyone in
retirement village has been
podded up.
Grandpa.
Oh, I was out for a walk,
and then, oh, I can't remember
what happened next.
I wouldn't do that
if I were you.
Well, you're not me.
Not yet I'm not.
You can fill me in later.
Look what's back here.
Their ship.
They found it.
We can't let them out.
Get the pods on board.
They've been marinating
long enough.
Marinating?
They've got Aunt Vera.
You guys really burn me up.
Now I'm going to return
the favor.
Whatever you are, you just
made a terrible mistake.
Us limaxes live for the heat.
Why do you think we came to the
desert in the summer?
They hate water!
Aunt vera when she
was in the kitchen.
Or Marty when I was
on the golf cart.
See you, slime ball.
Sorry. There's no
dry-thru service here.
We should put them all back in
their condos so they'll think
they never left.
That could take hours.
Give me a few minutes. I'll
see if accelerate can help out.
Don't be strangers.
We won't.
Bye, Aunt Vera.
Bye, dear.
Oh, this is for the road.
Ben told me how much you liked
my gelatin mold.
This one's lime with chunks of
grouper and chickpeas.
Uh, thanks.
I'm sorry, Ben, if there
wasn't enough excitement here
for you. I hope you weren't
bored to tears.
Actually, it turned out
better than I thought.
I'm glad.
Well, have fun on the road.
I will.
Oh, and, Ben, keep up the
good work dealing with all
those aliens you were telling
me about.
You're kidding, right?
Of course, dear.
