take a look and see what
right
[Music]
[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
hey what's the big idea mister a dad
that's your own wold what a surprise
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
