Jules (2023)

[bunniefuu]

I call this meeting

of the Boonton, Pennsylvania
City Council to order.

Please stand.

I pledge allegiance to the
flag of the United States of America

and to the republic
for which it stands.

First
item on the agenda,

an update to the construction of the
baseball field on Juniper Street.

With us is Steve Gorham,
general contractor.

As promised, we will not be
needing an extension on construction.

We will finish by November 1,

within the period furnished
by our previous extension.

What lies ahead is electrical,
plumbing, not including

exterior bathrooms...

...gonna
be some congestion...

...we'll divide
it into four subsections.

We now move to the next part of the
meeting, which is open public comments.

The Council will hear comments,
but is not expected to respond.

Please remember to limit your
comments to one and a half minutes.

I think that we ought to
change our town slogan.

"A Great Place To Call
Home" is confusing

because when somebody hears it,

it can mean that
it's a great place

to call your home
on the telephone.

I
suggest a clearer motto,

like "A Great Place
to Refer to as Home."

Though it doesn't
have to be that.

We need a crosswalk
on Trent Avenue

between Frost and Allegheny.

It's a very long distance to walk when
you're in the middle and you need to cross

and you either need to
get to Frost or Allegheny.

It encourages jaywalking, and
jaywalking is an expensive ticket,

and I know 'cause
I've gotten three.

Not to mention a great
way to get you k*lled.

Thank you.

This is the second
major glacier collapse in a week...

All right,
Dad, I'm ready for you.

can expect to see
happening in other parts of the world?

Okay.

Here.

Your gas bill, your phone bill,
and your Medicare supplement,

in case you're interested.

Hmm?

Have you heard from Tim?

No.

It costs a lot to make
a long-distance call,

so I understand.

Okay. Well, I have to use
the girl's room before I go.

Dad?

I found this in the
bathroom cabinet.

Oh.

Any idea why you put it there?

I must've just gotten confused.

Maybe the kitchen
cabinets were full.

There's plenty of space in 'em.

Well, I must have
been distracted.

- Are you feeling okay, Dad?
- Yeah.

You think that maybe you
should go get a checkup

- to see how you're doing?
- I don't need a checkup.

- Well, it can't hurt, though, right?
- I don't need it.

Well, I'm late for work. But you let me
know if there's anything else you need.

All right.

All right, y'all. Uh, okay,
well, we're gonna take a call now.

Now, we swabbed the area
around his neck to check for DNA.

Would you care to give us
a sample for comparison?

Oh, my.

Oh, my.

911 operator,
what is your emergency?

There is a spaceship that's
crashed in my backyard.

And it has crushed my azaleas.

- A spaceship?
- Yes.

Sir, placing prank calls
to 911 emergency services is a felony.

It's not a prank. A spaceship has crashed in
my backyard, and it has crushed my azaleas.

Sir, please try
lying down and go back to sleep.

I'm wide awake.

Hello?

Hello? Hello?

Denise is unavailable.

The voicemail is full...

I have been talking to
you about pickleball

for the past four years, and you
haven't done nothin' about it.

Pickleball is a fantastic sport

for those of us whose
knees aren't agile enough

to get us across
the tennis court.

Who's filibustering pickleball?

Is that you, Wu?

The new cold storage
facility near the highway

is going to give our
businesses a marvelous way

to store their perishable goods.

But it also gives
us another thing:

a giant wall.

I wonder if this
council would consider

commissioning a muralist
to add a little magic

to what will already
be a valuable building.

I think we ought to
change our town slogan.

"A Great Place To Call
Home" is confusing

because when somebody hears it,

it can mean that
it's a great place

to call your home
on the telephone.

I suggest a clearer motto,

like "A Great Place
to Refer to as Home."

Though, um, it doesn't
have to be that.

We need a crosswalk
on Trent Avenue

between Frost and Allegheny...

Denise is unavailable.

The voicemail is full.

Yeah? Hi, Denise...

I called you a few
nights ago because

a spaceship had
crashed in my backyard.

Well, now...

a space man has come
out of the ship,

and he's lying on my patio.

I'm scared.

I don't know what to do.

Anyway... call me.

How are you, Milton?

Well, I'll tell you.

I've g... I've got a real situation.

I call this meeting of the
Boonton City Council to order.

Esteemed Council members,

I am delighted to speak to you tonight
about elderly-youth connections.

I hope eventually to collaborate
with this board on this project,

but in the meantime, I am
launching a pilot project.

I will be placing these
posters around town

in order to connect
with a young person

who would like to learn
from me, and I from them.

I will keep you updated
on this exciting project.

Thank you.

We should change the town
motto to something clearer,

because "A Great
Place to Call Home"

can mean you're calling home.

I feel there needs
to be a crosswalk

on Trent Avenue between
Frost and Allegheny.

I feel it is too far

between Frost and Allegheny,

and... and... and it
encourages people to jaywalk,

and they can die.

Also, a UFO has
crashed in my backyard

and has taken out my azaleas
and has destroyed my bird bath.

- Did you just say "UFO"?
- Yes.

It has crashed in my backyard

and taken out my azaleas
and destroyed my bird bath.

You should not talk like that!

When you talk like that, it makes
them all take us less seriously.

But it's true. A spaceship crashed in
my backyard and crushed my azaleas.

I'm dead serious! You
should not talk like that.

It is not good.

What should I do?
Not tell anybody?

Good night, Joyce.
See you next week.

Milton?

- You want a ride?
- I can walk.

I can give you a lift.
It's no problem at all.

- Is everything okay, Milt?
- Yeah.

You feeling well?

Except for this situation
with the spaceship.

If there's anything I
can do, you let me know.

I suppose.

You take care, Milt.

Oh, my.

It's warmer inside. Do
you wanna come inside?

Do you wanna come inside?
'Cause it's warmer in here.

I'm not sure what to do.

This hasn't happened
to me before.

sh**t!

That was the kettle. Sorry.

I saw you'd finished your
water, so maybe you want more.

Looks like I was right.

I brought you a bunch
of different things

'cause I wasn't
sure what you'd eat.

You liked the apples.

That was the last one.

- Hey, Clarence!
- I'm Milt.

Okay.

That's a lot of apples!

They're for the alien
that's back in my house.

You mean an ill*gal alien, or...

No. Like, an alien
from outer space.

A ship crashed in my
backyard a couple nights ago,

and an alien came
crawling out of it,

and so far, the only
thing he eats is apples.

Be $11.32.

The government is searching for
pieces of a weather satellite

they say disintegrated
over Western Pennsylvania.

They ask that anyone who comes across
parts of the fallen device not touch it.

During the time you were incarcerated,
you were also receiving disability.

Yes.

Here in McKinley...

I'm sorry.

I'm just...

u... used to living alone.

You're walking.

That's a good sign.

Maybe I'll show you around.

This is the bathroom.

You got hot water, cold.

If the hot doesn't
come out right away,

just give it a minute.

Here's where you
do your business.

There's things to read,
if it takes a while.

This is the guest bedroom.

If you need to stay the night,
this is where you'll sleep.

It was a gift.

The backyard, you already know. That's
where you crashed into my azaleas.

We'll have a word
about that later.

The kitchen.

Here's where I leave
myself reminders.

And this is the living room.

I mainly use it to watch TV.

And you use this one
to control everything.

The only thing you use this one
for is to change the volume.

If you change anything else, then I have to
call Denise over and she gets irritated with me.

This channel shows the
news that's happening.

This channel's the same, but
the people are a little angrier.

This channel shows
CSI three times a day.

I like CSI because it
always surprises me.

You think it's going this way, but
suddenly... Ooh! It's going this way instead.

Oh.

This is my family.

She unfortunately
has passed away.

She lives in town. He
lives in California.

Moved there about ten
years ago for a job.

I don't hear from him much.

- Th... that's...
- That's okay.

Young people are busy.

I was busy at his age.

Oh! It's seven o'clock.

I forgot to tell you...

about the dance show.

- Hey, Denise!
- Hi, Dave!

How's the clinic going?

Well, so far I've had two
neuters and three spays,

and the day's only
half over, so...

Uh... your dad was
in here earlier.

He said some stuff which
struck me as a little strange.

- Uh-huh.
- Yeah, I don't mean to make a mountain out of it,

but he said he was buying apples

for an alien that
was staying with him.

Like an ill*gal alien?

No, like an alien
from outer space.

Do you think that he was joking?

He didn't seem to be joking.

- Oh, hi, Denise.
- Listen.

Dad, I don't wanna argue.

You're 78 years old, and you haven't
seen a doctor in three years.

Please let me schedule
you a checkup.

And I'll take you, and they'll
check you out, and that'll be that.

But I'm fine, Denise.
I don't need a doctor.

Well, if you're fine, then
they'll tell you that you're fine,

and that'll be that!

And I'm not taking
no for an answer.

Well, I'd rather say no,
but in that case, I guess.

Thank you.

Did you get my message?

No. Did it say that
my mailbox was full?

Remember, if my mailbox is full,
I'm not gonna get the message.

Um...

All right, you should
get that. And I'm late.

I'll talk to you later, okay?

Oh, okay.

- Hello?
- Hi, Milt, it's Sandy.

Oh.

I found your number
in the phonebook.

I hope you don't
mind I'm calling.

- No.
- Milton, do you happen to have a printer?

A printer?

Let me see.

Denise set me up
with a lot of things

when she stopped using them.

Yeah, I have a printer.

Oh! Mine stopped
working long ago.

Computer stopped recognizing it.

Anyhow, do... do you
think I could use yours?

It's for the poster
for the program.

Don't they have
one in the library?

I don't think
they still have one.

If... if it's a problem...

It... it isn't a
problem, I guess.

- Hey, Milt.
- Hi, Sandy.

Uh... I really wish these
machines would warn you

before they screw
themselves up like that.

I'll probably print about
22. On my way through town,

I thought of an another
couple of places to...

Oh, good Christ!
What the f*ck is that?

You remember the spaceship
that crashed in my yard?

This is the little man
who came out of it.

This is Sandy.

She's an acquaintance of mine.

Milton, what is this?

Uh, this is an alien
from space, I suppose.

How long
has he been here?

Oh, for a few days.

Though the first couple days
he was inside the spaceship.

Mm-hmm. And he's just
sitting on your couch?

Yeah. He's very friendly.

He watches whatever I watch.

He's undemanding.

Oh, my Lord, I think
I need to sit down.

Oh, my God, Milton.

This... this is
a very big thing.

Yeah, I suppose it is.

This is a being

from a... another galaxy.

This has never happened before.

I guess that's true.

And there's a ship?

- Oh, dear God.
- Yep.

I think it'll be a couple
seasons before they grow back.

When he arrived, he wasn't
doing nearly so well.

He was really banged up
from the crash landing.

But he's been eating apples ever
since, and I guess they've helped him.

- Apples?
- Yeah.

And you wanna keep him here?

As long as he wants to.

Mmm, I don't know about that.

He may be a threat.
We don't know.

I really doubt it.

Listen, Milton, if you wanna keep him here,
you've got to stop telling people about him.

No more just letting people
come over like you did with me.

I... I've seen what people
do with these kinds of guys.

This has happened to you before?

No!

From the movies, and the... the
movies are based on something.

He's gotta be a secret.

No more telling anyone.

You know, and I know, and...

I'm not
telling anybody.

Hmm. Sandy?

Are you sure it's safe?

Far as I can tell,

he's really far from home.

Seems like he would
be the scared one.

I'll see you soon, Milt.

And remember,

don't tell anybody.

I won't.

His eyes were shaped
like you see in the movies.

It hovered in the
sky right above the house.

It was round
like a cylinder.

Had lights
all the way around it,

and it had a dome on top of it
with a bright light shining out.

The government now says it was a security
satellite and not a weather satellite

that crashed somewhere in Western
Pennsylvania. They ask anyone...

That was Sandy. I
think you'll like her.

Call the number below.

But she did.

She did tell you everything
she knew about the autopsy.

- She wanted to help.
- You're sure she wanted to help,

or had she simply exhausted
her options, Robert?

That's right, John.
She exhausted her options.

Nothing she could do was
going to fix what she did.

So why help now? 'Cause she
honestly wanted to do good.

Robert, I'm sorry, but I'm not buying
it for a second. I know she's your daughter.

- Damn right she's my daughter.
- But it can't happen.

Good morning.

Repairs have begun. That's good.

I hope you can fix it.

Must not be easy to be
stuck on a different planet.

Thank you for the picture.

It's very beautiful.

I'm gonna put some coffee on.

We're
looking for differences.

Could you circle the one
that's different, please?

I'm gonna show you four objects.

Do me a favor, Milton, and
remember these objects.

Now I'm going to show you a new
paper with three of the objects.

You tell me which
one is missing.

Jump rope. The
word is jump rope.

You have that?

Yeah.

I'm going to
tell you a short story.

A young girl went to
the store to buy grapes.

When she got there, she
didn't have enough money,

so she bought milk instead.

At home, her mother
asked what happened.

Milton, what was the word
I asked you to remember?

It must be strange for you,

having me here and...
and Milton gone.

He'll be back shortly. He...

he just had a... an
appointment he had to go to.

Do you understand me?

With those eyes, it...
it seems like you do.

Well, since you can't
talk, I guess I will.

Um...

I have a daughter.

Uh...

we get along pretty well,

but I don't get to see her much.

She, uh, lives out
on the West Coast.

I have pictures.

Uh...

Monica. That's her partner Lisa.

That's my grandson, Philip.

She and she are together.

You know, together-together?

I don't know if you have
that on your planet,

where two people of the same
sex end up loving each other,

but it's been
happening here a lot

over the last few years.

I let her know from the start that it
didn't make a hair's difference to me.

And, uh, wouldn't
you know, they spend all their time

sucking up to her mother instead
of coming out here to see me.

I haven't seen
them in person in...

in three years.

I swear to God, I don't
normally talk this much!

Milton, do you find yourself having trouble
recollecting information about yourself

that you've known all your life?

Your birthday, your middle name?

Do you leave objects in places
where they normally don't go

and not realize until later?

No.

- Dad.
- I don't.

He left a can of green beans
in the bathroom cabinet.

That was just once. I was
probably just confused.

I found a newspaper
in the freezer.

That also
was just once.

But Dad, that's not the point. The point is
that together, they're kinda happening often.

He, uh...

he told the cashier at Corrado's that
there was an alien living in his house.

Milton, do you
remember saying that?

Yeah.

Do you remember
why you said that?

It was a joke.

I don't think it was a joke when you
said it. I think that you meant it.

I think that he thought that there
was an alien living in his house.

Milton, this is a sensitive
subject to bring up,

but at your age, and with these
deficits in your thinking,

it may be time to consider
options for assisted living,

such as an in-home caregiver

or moving to an
assisted-living facility.

- Nope.
- Dad, just try to listen to what she has to say!

No, I'm sorry. I need to go.

I've got a...
Anderson Cooper is on.

Dad. Wait.

You set me up! God
damn it, you set me up!

I did it because I'm
worried about you.

You brought me here, had
her spring that test on me

without even giving
me a chance to study!

- I'm trying to help.
- I don't need your help!

Hey, Milt.

I'm just reading him a book I
found in Monica's baby things.

Milty?

- Is everything okay?
- I'm fine!

Are you sure you're fine?

All right. I'll
talk to you later.

He's had lunch.

Denise thinks I'm losing it.
She wants to put me in a home.

I think I called her too many
times to fix the TV system.

I don't talk to my son.

He doesn't like me very much.

I understand it. I
wasn't good at...

being a dad.

So I stopped.

No sense keeping going with
something you're not good at.

Hi, this is Tim. I am
unavailable at the moment.

Please leave a message.

Hey, Tim.

It's Dad.

Hope things are good there.

Fall's starting to show up here.

Denise's clinic has moved,

next to that new car
wash out on Lincoln.

Was that here when
you were here?

I don't know.

We'll see how she
deals with the noise.

Maybe the dogs
will get riled up.

I know I wasn't there for
you in ways I should've been.

You deserved better.

But enough's enough,
don't you think?

Looks like I got your machine.

All right.
Arms in the air.

May I?

You can put your arms down now.

It's from back in the day

when she could not
shut up about it.

I thought she was a l*sbian.

She is.

It's some sort of joke.

Oh.

Well...

at least he's not naked anymore.

I'm not sure myself

that he was.

Oh.

I also thought it might be nice

if we gave him a name.

Do you think that's
necessary? He's just here.

I don't see the need
to call him anything.

Well, for instance,
when we talk about him.

- What do you suggest?
- Well, I had an idea.

And it just feels right.

You think we can call him Jules?

Good as anything else.

But I'm not gonna
call him anything.

If he's just here,

then I don't need to
call him anything.

The government
continues to ask the public for help

in its search for
parts of a satellite

they say fell out of the sky

near the Pennsylvania-Ohio
border recently.

They are offering
a reward of $10,000

to anyone with information
about the crashed apparatus.

Who is it?

- It's Joyce!
- What do we do?

Take Jules upstairs!

Joyce! How are you?

Uh, Milt and I were just
having a... a little dinner.

- Would you like to join?
- I seen the alien.

Oh, my goodness, it's a
g*dd*mn extraterrestrial.

I had a feeling
you weren't lying.

I knew you were slipping
but not that fast.

Why were you spying on us?

I thought it was odd the two
of you hanging out together.

You shouldn't have spied on us.

His eyes are so understanding.

- May I touch him?
- Hey!

She shouldn't know!
This is a secret.

- She... she shouldn't know!
- Guys, calm down.

Just, everybody, calm
down. You're scaring Jules.

Jules? He's no Jules.

He's more of a Gary
or... or a Naomi.

His name is Jules,

and listen, Milton,
she's in on it now, okay?

So we got to trust her.
There's nothing else we can do.

- We could k*ll her.
- k*ll me?

You can't k*ll
me. I'll k*ll you.

- That's what I'll do!
- Guys, stop it!

How do you know
he's not dangerous?

- We know!
- We just know!

Okay, okay, I'm not
gonna tell anyone.

But no more keeping
secrets from me.

I'm in on this, like Sandy says.

- We shoulda k*lled her.
- Milton, hush.

- What's that?
- It's just pictures.

He hands them to
me all the time.

Maybe he's trying to
tell you something.

He's not trying to
tell me something.

This isn't gonna
be fun with her.

Joyce, Jules has come to mean...

quite a bit to us.

And he's gotta be a secret.
You've seen the movies too.

You know what
happens to these guys

when they fall to Earth.

I've tried getting
him back into the house,

but he spends all day looking at
that spaceship in the backyard.

First thing in the morning,

he's out there looking
at that spaceship.

Yes?

We're from the Department
of National Security.

Do you mind if we have
a look at the premises?

- Hey, Joyce.
- Gary here?

You mean the alien?
Yeah. Where else would he be?

Come to spend some
time with him.

Hey, Gary.

Joyce. I met you the other day.

Um, I brought you a new shirt.

The one you're wearing
is hardly appropriate.

- Hello?
- Hi.

I saw your poster at the library

about the senior
mentoring program.

Yes?

Well, I'm...
I'm not super-young,

but, um... um, I wouldn't
mind a chat like that.

Oh, fantastic!

And, uh, to whom am I speaking?

Boonton's fine.

But it's not like the Big City.

You might not know it looking
at me the way I am now,

but I was an item.

Away in the Big City, you
can find all the pleasure

and danger you're looking for.

You just have to
exercise self-control.

Otherwise, the
city'll eat you alive.

I was lucky.

I had my problems,
I mean, my moments.

But, uh...

at least I got out in one piece.

No more Pittsburgh for me.

- Danny?
- Yeah.

- Come on in.
- Thank you.

Would you like some tea?

- Sure.
- Great.

So how old are you, Danny?

- 27.
- I'm 72.

Ah.

Some people, they get real
sensitive about their age.

Do everything they
can to look younger.

But that's one thing I
wanted to tell you, Danny.

Aging is natural.

Physical beauty is
here for a moment,

and then it is gone.

I really blossomed
in the Big City.

Came into my own.

Joyce, I think he wants
to fix his spaceship.

I had my share of lovers.

Never really settled
down with one.

For a while, I...

I sang.

Can you believe
it? I was a singer.

You bet I can sing.

And I've still got it too.

Does this thing have Bluetooth?

Do you mind if I
use the bathroom?

Uh, of course.

Top of the stairs
and on your left.

- Up there?
- Yeah.

Okay.

You're saying his
head just exploded?

That's right.

Out of nowhere?

Out of nowhere.

Heads don't tend to just...

explode like that.

Are you suggesting
I made a man's head

explode off his shoulders?

And how exactly would I do that?

You tell us.

How would something
that extraordinary

happen in your house?

Oh, it's Sandy.

Where is he?

In the back,
working on his ship.

I knew he had powers.

These guys usually have powers.

Does this mean he's dangerous?

Well, only when someone's
being dangerous towards us.

Right.

Only when someone's being
dangerous towards us.

- That's true.
- I mean, he saved me.

Can you imagine what
would've happened

if he didn't get involved?

I wouldn't be here.

Well, is it possible

he could do it to
someone who wasn't bad?

What? He hasn't done it yet.

I don't see why we
should prejudice him

with our fearful thoughts.

All right. Just asking.

As far as I'm concerned,

Jules is on our side,
and we oughta be on his.

- I agree.
- I agree too.

There was no weapon
found at the scene?

- No expl*sive material?
- Nothing.

Heads do not just blow
off people's bodies.

No, they do not.

- Forensics has no explanation?
- Not a one.

Maybe Sandy's
protecting someone.

She has a big heart.

Let's put a tail on her.

See if she gets up
to anything unusual.

Yes, sir.

Dad. Dad.

Oh, Dad, come...

hey, come on, just a minute.

Since when have you been
hanging out with Sandy?

- Okay.
- Okay, just... okay, wait.

I am sorry for surprising
you the other day.

I'm worried, okay?

What you have said
has not been normal.

And I know that you
value your independence.

But there comes a time.

Denise, I swear
to you, I'm okay.

How can you say that

when you're buying
apples for an alien?

The apples aren't for an
alien. They're for me.

- 20 of them?
- Can't talk right now.

Good to see you.
Try not to worry.

Well, that's impossible!

Dad!

So I said to the doctor,

I think this medicine is
giving me sexual feelings.

What did he say?

He went
and researched it,

and he said, "You're darn right.

It's one of the side effects.

It's a rare one, but
it's one of 'em."

He switched me to
another medication.

Do you have any of
the old pills left?

Milton!

Do you guys smell that?

What?

It's kind
of a rotting smell.

I... I didn't want
to say anything

because I thought that's the
way your house usually smelled.

Oh, my.

It's a cat.

He k*lled a cat and
brought it here?

That's a tire mark.

Unless he stole a car, he
didn't k*ll this animal.

He... he found it.

He needs cats.

I told you he was
sending us a message.

You guys should listen
to me more often.

Let me see that.

That's his spaceship.

I think he needs six more cats

to get his ship working!

Before, he needed seven.

But with that one,
he needs six more.

Oh, I'm telling
you, I get this guy.

I get this guy more than you do.

I think she might be right.

Seven cats?

What makes his ship
run is seven cats?

Well, the only thing
he eats is apples.

You got to kinda take him
on his own terms, you know?

So what are we supposed to do?

k*ll six cats?

Green Turtle
Veterinary Clinic. How can I help you?

Is Dr. Robinson there?
This is her father.

Just one moment.

- Hey, Dad, what's up?
- Oh, not much.

Um, how are you doing?

I'm fine.

What happens to the cats
that die in your office?

What?

What happens to the cats
that die in your office?

Why are you asking me that?

Oh, j... just trying
to make conversation.

Dad, what is going on?

Nothing.

Then, why are you
asking me that?

Do they... do they
incinerate them,

or... or do they just throw
them in the dumpster out back?

Well, I'm not
saying another word

until you tell me
why you're asking.

Do you even know
why you're asking?

- And you wonder why I'm worried.
- You know what?

- Forget it.
- Forget it?

How am I supposed to forget it?

I was just curious, that was it.

And you don't even have a cat.

I've got to go. Love you.

She didn't give me
a straight answer.

Slow down.

Raccoon.

Possum.

Car is going extremely
slow out on 22.

Makes following them
undetected almost impossible.

Any
idea what they're doing?

Seems like they're
looking for something.

Sandy.

- How'd it start?
- What?

With Earl.

How'd it start?

He was generally
forgetful at first.

Not as quick...

as he used to be.

He s... started leaving things

in... in weird places.

I found the silverware
in the bedroom.

One time, he... he
pooped in the bidet.

He was very
embarrassed about that.

Why?

Did the doctor say
something that worried you?

Do you forget things sometimes?

Milton?

I don't mean to.

I don't want to worry you.

Milton, it... it was years

before it got bad.

Don't go down that rabbit hole.

You gotta enjoy life,
not worry it away.

- Stop.
- All right.

I won't say another thing.

No, no, no, no.
I mean s... stop.

The f*ck?

- How many did you get?
- We got two.

Well, one and three quarters.

Not easy, what's out
there is mostly possums.

We need four more.

Well, three and a...

four and...

aw, heck, I was never
good at fractions.

I'll find 'em.

How will you find 'em?

I don't care if I have to scour

the streets of this town.

I'll find 'em.

- How are you?
- I'm good.

- What's up?
- It's about Dad.

He's not doing well. He's
acting strange lately.

Well, he's been acting
strange for years.

He told the
check-out guy at Corrado's

that he was buying apples

for an alien living
in his house.

Well, was it
an ill*gal alien?

No, it was an
alien from outer space.

He was very clear on that.

I got three.

Well, three and a third, really.

And that more than makes up

for the missing quarter.

I've always been very
decent with fractions.

We still need one more.

Those look like agents.

L... like government agents?

Like the ones in the movies.

I'll take Jules upstairs.

Where is he?

Unit
4, return to operations.

Come on. Let's go.

Okay.

We've gotta act quickly,

'cause any moment we waste

is a moment they
can discover him.

- We can both go out driving.
- That'll take too long.

And besides, I
looked everywhere.

Well, short of k*lling a cat,

I don't know how
we're gonna do it.

Well, what about yours?

Henry?

The hell you talking about?

You said he doesn't hear, he
doesn't see, he can't walk.

He's pretty much dead.

Well, he's not dead.

He's like my child.

You can go f*ck yourself!

I'm sorry about
what Milton said.

He spoke out of turn.

Henry's been there every
time I've come home.

No one else has.

Of course.

Pets may just be pets,

but they're part of the family.

I watched him get worse,

and I just didn't do
anything about it.

I was too afraid of
what it would be like

without him.

He's all I have.

Do you know it's been a year

since he was able to
walk up to me on his own?

Milton's right.

He's not all I have.

He's all I had.

All right, go ahead.

Let's do this.

Explode his head.

Wait.

Better to cut down on the mess.

Goodbye, sweet pea.

Go back to 870 Elmore!

- Go back!
- Yes.

Congratulations.

Jules, I'm...

I'm so happy for you.

I brought you something.

It's a snow globe of the city.

It's a typical gift that you get
when you're in some place new.

It's, uh... it kind
of means a lot to me,

reminds me of my
time in the city.

I want you to have it.

I, uh... I
brought you something too.

I don't know if it gets
cold where you're from,

but you maybe, you can
get some use out of it.

Oh, not now.

Later.

I didn't know we
were giving gifts.

So you don't forget
what I look like.

What was that?

Did he
just do something?

I think he's inviting us.

I'll go.

I'd like to go with you.

Milton. You can't.
You've got Denise.

I'm ready to go.

Jules has been nice
company to me here,

and I prefer not to
have Denise see me

get worse and worse every year.

Hello?

Dad, I'm not
calling about the alien.

I'm not calling
about any of that.

It's time for your hair cut.

So I could, uh... I
could come by Saturday,

and we could have lunch,
and I could take care of it.

We've been fighting, and
I just want to hang out.

Will you be around Saturday?

Don't you work Saturdays?

I'll get Heather
to cover for me.

Will you be around?

Dad?

I've seen you shut down before.

I don't want that
to happen to us.

I'll have to check my schedule.

Is everything okay?

Yes, it is.

All right.

I'll wait to hear.

I love you, Dad.

You too.

Bye.

National
Security! Open the door!

They're coming for Jules!

They're coming!

Get him in the ship!

Whoa. Whoa.

That was amazing.

Are we on his planet already?

That didn't feel like very long.

Felt like
just a few seconds.

I've got four bars
and a text message.

I think we're still on Earth.

I think he just stopped to...

to drop us off.

I think we're still on Earth.

Well, Jules.

I guess it's time for your
intergalactic journey.

If they didn't need me to
keep this town on the rails,

I'd come with you.

And Milton?

I'm so thankful for your
invitation to join you.

And I know I would
have enjoyed very much

journeying with you
through the heavens,

and seeing your home.

But I've lived on this
planet all my life.

It's my home.

Doesn't stop being that

just 'cause I'm getting
ready to leave it.

What's coming
probably won't be fun.

But I ought to do it here.

I'll be okay.

Do you think he remembers us?

Who?

Gary.

Of course he remembers us.

Don't you think he's
been to other planets?

Don't you think he's
met other life forms?

He remembers us.

I am sure of it.

Do you think Gary
remembers us, Milton?

Gary? Who's Gary?

Jules.
