[music] >>RODNEY SILVERS: Good night for an alien
invasion, don't you think?
>>JOE WOOD: Yeah. I'd say so.
>>RODNEY SILVERS: The power's cut off. Everything is ready. Send down the scout ships. Begin
unloading the infantry. These Earthlings don't pay attention to anything.
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: Who's he talking to in there?
>>JOE WOOD: I'm not sure. There's no one else in there but him. Sounds like he's talking
on a radio.
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: Talking on a radio?
>>JOE WOOD: Sounds like he's planning an alien invasion.
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: I hate Aliens. Aliens stole my boyfriend.
>>JOE WOOD: How do you know it was Aliens?
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: My boyfriend Bud, he told me there's an Alien living right here in this
motel. And yesterday he was snooping around for some more information and poof! He vanished
into thin air.
>>JOE WOOD: How do you know Bud just didn't head out to Oregon and join a commune?
>>HELEN KRATIVZ: That's exactly what the cops said, but they're wrong. Bud would never leave
me.
>>JOE WOOD: Maybe that's exactly what happened.
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: The Aliens got him. I know.
>>RODNEY SILVERS: We're attempting to infiltrate their circles. We're using the tractor beam
on the weakest of them.
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: Do you think he's some sort of a Martian?
>>JOE WOOD: That's what it sounds like to me.
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: Joe, do you think they cut off the electricity? Do you think they're
planning to invade Earth?
>>JOE WOOD: That's what it sounds like.
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: I'm going to go in there right now and find out.
>>JOE WOOD: Whoa! Whoa! I don't know about that. A Martian could be dangerous.
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: I'm not worried about this guy. I've got my stunner. If he tries any
monkey business with me I'll stun the jeebers out of him.
>>RODNEY SILVERS: These Earthling's pathetic weapons are completely ineffective. We can
simply reverse the polarity. If they attempt to harm us, they'll only kill themselves.
>>JOE WOOD: Sounds like that's not going to work. You've got to figure they could do something
like that.
>>HELEN KRAVITGZ: We're going to need more firepower.
>>JOE WOOD: Like what?
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: I'm calling out the posse. Yep, the posse. Around here people help each
other out. There's power in numbers. [music]
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: There! Room 222!
>>JOE WOOD: Gerald and Mikey are your posse?
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: With you that makes four of us.
>>GERALD BOYD: I know something man. I can feel it.
>>MIKEY BONE: I've got my little equalizer. Little green men better not mess with me.
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: You can't use that Mikey. The Alien will make it backfire.
>>JOE WOOD: Yeah. You better let me hold on to that gun Mikey. We don't want you to get
hurt or anything.
>>MIKEY BONE: I don't know. I don't see how he could hurt me with my own gun.
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: Let Joe Wood hold your gun. You don't know what this Alien is capable
of.
>>MIKEY BONE: I don't know. I think I'm just going to hold onto my own gun. Not that I
don't trust you Joe. I just think I'd feel better hanging onto it.
>>RODNEY SILVERS: Are all our spaceships in place? Tell the captain to ready our weapons.
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: We have to do this now. We're the only ones who can stop this invasion in
its tracks.
>>GERALD BOYD: I know something! Something's happening. Like now!
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: Hush Gerald. Just shine your light on the Alien. We'll do the talking.
[door bangs]
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: Hands up!
>>RODNEY SILVERS: Hey! Hey! I'm kind of busy right now.
>>GERALD BOYD: I know something man.
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: Hush Gerald. Shine your light on him.
>>MIKEY BONE: Where's the Alien?
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: He's the Alien.
>>MIKEY BONE: Rodney's the Alien?
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: He sure is. I heard him planning an invasion on his radio thing.
>>MIKEY BONE: Invasion? From where?
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: From outer space!
>>GERALD BOYD: The mother ship. I can feel it!
>>RODNEY SILVERS: This? This isn't a radio. That's a radio.
>>GERAOD BOYD: Radio waves. They're everywhere.
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: You're calling off this invasion right here right now. You may have started
this war, but we're going to stop it. With the United States Army.
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: We stopped the Nazis. We stopped the ***. We're stopping you too.
Little green men aren't taking us over.
>>MIKEY BONE: He doesn't look little or green to me.
>>HELEN KRAVITGZ: They're in disguise.
>>RODNEY SILVERS: So you guys really think that I'm an Alien in disguise?
>>JOE WOOD: How do they know you're not?
>>RODNEY SILVERS: Well Joe. If anybody here's going to be an Alien, it's probably going
to be you with that big bald head of yours. You even look like you're from outer space.
>>JOE WOOD: Well, you'd be very wrong. You'd be completely and utterly wrong. My big bald
head has nothing to do with me being an Alien and that's the absolute truth.
>>RODNEY SILVERS: Don't get all excited Joe. I'm just saying it's kind of ridiculous to
be going around here accusing people of being aliens.
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: I heard you talking to the mother ship with my very own ears. Joe here
heard it too.
>>RODNEY SILVERS: Ok! This is ridiculous. Pardon me. I've got to get back to work.
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: You're not going back to work. We're arresting you in the name of the
United States of America.
>>GERALD BOYD: USA!
>>RODNEY SILVERS: Listen! I am not an Alien. I am not planning an invasion. I am a science
fiction writer. You've seen the TV show 'The Dimension Beyond'. Those are my stories.
>>MIKEY BONE: I watch 'The Dimension Beyond' every week and you're not that creepy guy.
That guy is skinny and chain-smokes. Don't see any cigarettes around here.
>>RODNEY SILVERS: That skinny guy that introduces the show, he's an actor, playing a writer.
He couldn't write television to save his life. I'm the writer. I dictate my stories into
this portable sound recorder. Later on I type it up. What you heard was from my latest story
about an Alien invasion.
>>JOE WOOD: Why would you be living in a seedy motel making up stories for 'The Dimension
Beyond?'
>>RODNEY SILVERS: I like to live and work in a location that's like where the stories
take place. It inspires me.
>HELEN KRAVITZ: What's that big radio for anyway? Looks to me just like the thing a
Martian Spy would need to talk to the mother ship.
>>RODNEY SILVERS: That's a ham radio. It's my hobby. I like to work the forty meter band
in my spare time.
>>JOE WOOD: What about that space-aged thing you were talking into?
>>RODNEY SILVERS: I told you, it's a portable audio recorder.
>>JOE WOOD: Likely story. Looks to me like some type of Alien weapon, like maybe a ray-gun.
[music]
>>JOE WOOD: Look! The car turned on and nobody's in it.
>>MIKEY BONE: The car's empty?
>>GERALD BOYD: They're here man. They're already here.
>>RODNEY SILVERS: It's just a portable recorder. Here, let me show you....
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: No! [gun shot] [music]
>>GERALD BOYD: The radio waves. They've stopped!
>>HELEN KRAVITZ: The only good Alien is a dead one. Let's get out of here. Come on Mikey,
you did good. He would have just done the same to us.
>>JOE WOOD: I'll catch up with you guys. I'm just going to clean up this mess. [music]
>>JOE WOOD: Send out the scouting ships and begin unloading the infantry. These Earthling's
don't pay attention to anything. [lizard sounds]
