[Music]

it's Lively

of all the things we had to learn in

school I have to say my best subject was

lunch was definitely science

mr. Lambert had a simulating way of

making astronomy as fascinating as

watching intelligent life on other

planets the chance of intelligent life

teaching this class

mr. gruenewald since you and mr.

Andersen seemed to be so enthusiastic

about class participation I have a

little treat for you

one week what kind of class project are

we gonna come up with in just one week

no pressure goon just counts as half our

grade think of it as a challenge how

about something like that a spaceship

and what exactly are we supposed to use

for parts we'll improvise

welcome we have to improvise in my

garage your dad is more chunk hey this

waffle iron don't make a good rhyme and

this old telescope will make a cool

Raygun their fall my dad used them the

w*r hey Louie take me to her eater how

many times have I told you not to leave

your toys around if there's one thing I

can't stand it's a mess

what are you two up to homework since

when is messing up my garage consider

your homework we were just looking for

some junk huh with my field telescope

everyone for this telescope you wouldn't

be here today the free world as we know

it exists

[Music]

I'm late for dinner with my trusty build

telescope waiting for the pitch and

whack

I return

hey Greenberg borrowed my scope hit a

grand slam and beat the st. Louis Browns

to win the pennant is there a point to

this story

the point is respect now clean up the

mess before dare let's go Larry get this

thing back together sure dear

what do you got there an alien sighting

space aliens my keister farmer falls

asleep on his lawnmower does a few dots

naps a photo of it calls it a UFO

landing site and the next thing you know

he's a celebrity nonsense it's not

nonsense

look aliens abducted a 40-year old

housewife and sucked out her brain that

I can lawyer very funny

you think it's convincing enough we can

just make it fly were a shoo-in for a

name hey I have an idea I borrowed these

from Tommy does he mind no why do you

ask

whoa check this out prepare for the

Martian invasion wow this is great cool

I'm telling you we're gonna Ace this

broad John do me a favor and call the

week for dinner would you guys sure I'd

love to buttercup it's not like I'm

doing anything important here hurry it's

getting away he's just staring what if

he thinks it's real no he can tell it's

just junk we're gonna fail there's only

one way to find out please don't suck on

my brain and vaporize me cool he thinks

it's real I am zarbor

leader of the wing box we come from a

tiny planet of distant galaxies

five years away works great don't get it

a lot of there you have been selected to

be the ambassador yes sir I mean all

great leader of the wind Asian people if

you wouldn't mind I'd really appreciate

you posing for a photo yeah for the old

family album don't go away I'll be right

back in a flash

come on that was our chance

[Music]

that was great he thought it was real

this could be our first settle for a

c-minus maybe it was just a low-flying

plane or something telling you is the

real honest-to-goodness spaceship it

look just like this one

well my pictures will be better and by

tomorrow I have the proof to show world

a lot of the people on the planet they

chose me I have to get ready

don't they have a week to prepare you

now and I want to make a good impression

[Music]

[Music]

why won't you guys believe me it's just

a lack of proof I think if we glue the

straps from my mom's y'all sundress to

the hand over my dad's golf bag movie

that's nonsense

to make this fly again we have to use

your mom's right evening gown instead

Bonnie

what I have here in my hands is about to

change history

wait a minute

[Music]

what's going on here

some guy spotted an alien look on the

bright side at least it was convincing

set him straight made peace and how

exactly did you do that mr. Anders I'm

sorry but that's classified information

by the way did I mention that I'm a w*r

hero yes twice hey buddy how's my

favorite alien expert I'm handy for

years

it's my pod that's Jenson jaeyun

as Ian a lot of people didn't believe

this whole spaceship thing but nice did

buy him from the start

don't forget we have a fine array of

souvenirs available don't you think

you're going a little overboard dear

relax it's Anderson

alien expert ambassador or how about one

take me to your leader

[Music]

all right blue wire batteries with any

luck water spaceship back together by

tomorrow right after we take a little

break here you go kids to space cone

specials mmm not bad me don't you think

the Tom's taking this alien thing a

little too far what do you mean I think

it brings a certain panache to the

community I can't take it anymore

I gotta tell my dad right idea having

the aliens return ambassador I just like

to take this opportunity each and every

one of you disappointment of a lifetime

mom can I ask your advice about what I

have this friend who did something and

not even something that bad with this

other person misinterpreted that and

blew the whole thing into orbit so to

speak and now this friend is afraid to

tell what they did what do you think

they should do noé life is a lot like

making cookies Hey

[Applause]

let's say you're baking a dozen

chocolate chip cookies you lay out all

your ingredients then you start mixing

them all together what if some Brussels

sprouts accidentally spill into the bed

Brussels sprouts for all we know

chocolate chip Brussels sprout cookies

might even taste better than regular

cookies they're not eating regular

chocolate chip cookies even though the

honesty and taking responsibility that's

great even named after me

[Music]

greetings great leader of the wind

baseships welcome down sounds too

impersonal

greetings grave leader of the one day

you have a minute

oh yeah sure I've got the leader of the

one patient's arriving here 2200 I have

the speech of a lifetime to give and

haven't even started yet

sure that's that time sh**t we're

wondering if we could talk

for some time you do your worrying about

now that I'm famous

well I still be the same old lovable dad

don't worry my fame and fortune won't

change old Andy Anderson well actually

you know what fame and fortune aren't

even the best part of this whole thing

Larry you know what is that of all the

people on the whole planet those aliens

chose me to be the ambassador for our

people for the first time since I was in

the military

I have a special purpose again gotta go

the mother ship awaits great we're a

historic event

we'll take this aliens from another time

have announced that they will be landing

here look at all these people

this doesn't look good get your view

spots here if you want to see the

spaceship you need a prime spot to view

it from Mike what are you doing what

does it look like I'm doing ranking on

our long they can't do that it's wrong

you're right I should cut you 30% of the

profits so what time you think we should

launch our ship are you not we can't do

it again in case you haven't noticed

there are a lot of people here who are

counting on a flying saucer showing up

tonight well isn't it mr. Lambert yeah

if everyone believes our ship is real

there's no way labour will deny it

we do sure about this Andy don't worry

but if for some reason they don't show I

just don't notice anything disappointing

if there's one thing I know about these

aliens honey it's that they don't go

back on their word I would like to

change

Oh for coming out for Cedar News first

let's give applause to mr. ambassador

himself

so

as a small token of our appreciation we

do upon you - okay here we go

where's the genies I got something

better this time electric fans look 30

foot extension cord ready for blast-off

there's one little problem genius it's

always supposed to launch this wine

sauce it with half the world out there I

thought you were covering that one

it's

come on now's our chance but I'm sure

they'll be here

readings are clean

later of invasion welcome back to the

dairy capital of America but where is

the fleet of stations fleets bishops

remember that was your idea they're mega

malls I know this is uncharacteristic

they self be here stone people's have

made peace we offer to you a modest

collection of some of our community's

finest hours you walk before quick back

in

ah

[Music]

it's you know what this means LOI

court-martial me marshal

[Music]

may I suggest mr. Anderson you read my

latest self-help book alien sighting or

alienation

[Music]

Louie how could you I didn't mean to

it's just our science project I guess it

got a little out of hand a little out of

hand

Louie go to your room so what do you

think

hey a plus mr. Anderson oh I'm sorry mr.

a this wasn't a goof on you if it was up

to me I wouldn't have done it in public

I would have done it behind your back

it'll never happen again

you bet it'll never happen again okay

okay I hear you

all right stop say cheese our class

project was about the space travel

but now it's about how to get your

picture in the paper and one easy lesson

yeah

Andy I'm sorry sad for one the fact that

I wasted a week of good TV watching time

to build a landing pad or was it the

fact that I was made a fool by my

homeless son well no he's not your only

son he's my only son that embarrassed me

in public

well that's not true there was the time

that said dress yeah don't remind me of

that on oh dear

[Music]

dan err this is for you you might want

to let the glue dry before touching the

sides are you still mad I got my 15

minutes of fame now it's back to being

your average Joe small again you know

really wrong you should use the battery

pack kid that's lighter than the

extension cord then you could have got

more right yeah

then would have made an even bigger

crash you couldn't crash bigger than

your dead son

I'm real sorry dad hey let's see what

stars are out tonight what do you say

dad Wally if aliens really did land you

would have made a great ambassador

thanks son but if aliens really had

landed I think I would have just fainted

my dad thought he was just an average

Joe again but it was that night I

realized there was nothing average about

him at all I didn't get a chance to tell

him what I was really thinking but I

think he knew I can't believe I even

believed in flying saucers it's

ridiculous really yeah it was pretty

funny dad

[Music]

slum I heard tell me that
