Skyrunners

I like your necklace, it...

- It shimmers. - Thanks.

So, are we gonna meet tonight?

- At the lake? - Yeah, yeah.

- OK. - Nick!

Did you hear that?

No. No. No, I didn't hear a thing.

- Nope. Just... - Nick?

Wait, isn't that your little brother?

- Yes... - Go deal with him.

- I'll see you in a couple hours? - Yes. Oh, yeah.

- All right. Bye! - OK. Bye.

- Oh, I'm going to deal with him all right. - - Nick!

Nick?

Good hanging with you, Darryl.

- High-five. Just kidding. - That's funny, man.

- Hilarious. - I thought so too.

- See you, Tyler. - Bye, Ty. Catch you later!

- Tie you up later! - Freshmen. I'll see you later, man.

- What? Nick! - I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. All right.

- Don't just stand there. Get me down. - OK.

Bite down. Bite down hard on the stick.

OK? Open your mouth. Trust me. All right.

You ready?

Uh, Nick?

- Yup? - I'd kind of like to get home

with all my pieces still attached. What's the rush?

Two words, little bro.

Julie "Smoking" Gunn.

- Julie Gunn? - Yes.

- She's beyond smoking. She is... scorching. - Scorching.

- She is blistering. - Blistering.

- She is... - She is sneaking out

to meet me for a midnight rendezvous.

- You are such a liar. - No.

Here. Take my phone. Take pictures. I want photographic evidence.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. In your dreams.

I need you to drop me off and drive the truck home.

- Drive home? - Yeah.

Me? I'm 14, Nick.

I don't have a license and I'll go to jail.

"Look at me, I'm 14. I don't have a license. I'm gonna go to jail."

Have you ever seen a jail cell?

It's just a bed and a toilet with no seat.

I get shy in the bathroom at the mall.

Ooh!

- What is that? - Whoa!

What is that?

Tyler...

We just found ourselves...

...a genuine,

bona fide,

real live UFO.

- Is there anything in there? - - What, like an alien?

No, it's empty.

Say cheese! Say cheese!

- Don't touch that! - What?

It might have radiation or something.

Or not.

What are you doing?

- We've got to report this. - What? No, man. This is ours, we found it!

It is not!

- Give it back. Give me it, Nick! - All right!

If you find a wallet in the street, is it yours?

Depends on what's in it. Give me a hand.

In five minutes, this place is going to be swarming

with cops, helicopters, the Marines.

- That's why we've got to hide it. - We can't just keep a UFO.

Mom won't even let us get a dog.

Look, this is a spaceship.

This is a real spaceship, man.

We found it. This is ours!

It landed right in our laps. This is a chance of a lifetime.

Come on. Help me pick it up.

At our trial? I'm blaming you.

Yeah, yeah, just pick it up.

Nick, I want you to drive like Grandma.

Fifty-five and stay alive. OK?

All right.

Get in the car, come on.

Hold on!

Nick!

Eight years of straight A's

and I end life as a crash-test dummy!

- We're going off-road! - Oh, no! Ah!

Oh!

Blue Six, did you acquire the target?

Negative, they escaped...

...but I'll get 'em.

OK, it's a WM, medium build.

Nick, you're gonna hurt me. Come on!

Oh, hi, Mom!

- Hey, Mom. Hi. - Hi.

Nick's truck broke down.

That's a good one.

I used that on your Grandma once.

Come on Ty, we can't... We can't lie to Mom.

We've got to tell her the truth.

- Now? - Mm-hmm.

Are you kidding?

- I mean, are you serious? - Absolutely. OK, Mom, the truth is...

...Darryl Butler and the football team taped Tyler to a tree.

Oh! Ah!

My baby's a freshman!

Hey, listen, I just finished sewing your play costume.

- It is so cute. Come on, try it on! Ooh! - I'm sure it is.

- Oh, I'm so proud! - I love you.

Hey. All right...

When they expect you to lie? Partial truth. All right?

Totally throws them off. All right?

- Fine. - OK. Let's go.

People have been arguing about UFOs since forever.

Are they real? Are they watching us?

And why did you let me try out for this stupid play?

So we could ridicule you for the rest of your life.

Right, boys?

- "Yes!" - OK.

This is bigger than Einstein or Columbus.

That spaceship should be seriously studied.

I know, man. I totally agree with you.

- So we turn it in, right? - Wrong.

We find out what that baby can do.

All right, let's go. Get up, get up.

Dude, did you pull the cover off of it?

Dude, when? I've been with you the whole time.

Whoa. Whoa.

You think it's got like an mp3 jack?

Nick, it's from another planet.

Right.

Maybe satellite radio.

Tyler, it wants you to get in.

What am I, your guinea pig? You get in!

Dude, it doesn't want me, all right?

It's an advanced... It comes from an advanced civilization,

- you've got an advanced brain. - Wow, you think that's it?

- No, I... Just get in, all right? Go. - Why am I doing this?

This is... this is crazy,

this is insane,

this is...

This is incredible.

- Nick? - Ty! Tyler!

Get me out of here, Nick! Nick!

Tyler! Tyler! No, put him down! Tyler!

- Get me out of here, Nick! - Tyler!

- Hurry, please! Nick! - No, no! Put him down!

Get me out of here, Nick!

- Help! - No, no, no, no! No!

Whoa! Whoa!

Stop!

Unreal.

Thank you. Digging the view.

Now please, please,

please get me down before I wet my pirate pants.

Oh, dear.

Oh, man.

Are you OK? Are you OK?

Oh, my... I thought I would never see you again!

I thought you were gone!

Oh, man! I thought I would never see you again! I thought you were gone!

This thing is amazing.

There's no limit to what it can do.

So I guess we're keeping it?

Whoo!

Oh.

- What's up, bro? - Hey, we have a big problem.

I know, I heard you got an A-minus in calculus. You are so ruined, man!

There are four cop cars in student parking.

And they're here about the you-know-what.

I'm going home sick. How about you?

Relax, OK? They don't know squat.

They know some kids saw it land.

And it's not just the cops asking questions, it's the NSSC.

They make people disappear.

Haven't I seen you on TV?

Oh, you remember.

WZPZ, Tori Lee, investigative reporter.

Tyler Burns. High school. Man.

- High School Man is late for nuclear physics... - What? No.

- ...so let's go, buddy. - What's this about the NSSC?

Oh, they're trying to spin some bogus cover-up,

claiming some wing nut put rockets on his unicycle.

Do you know what? That's exactly what it was.

Look out!

Uh-oh.

It's Julie. I got... OK.

Oh, boy.

Julie! Hey! What's up?

Wow, you look...

- ...stunning. - You stand me up and that's all you got?

No. No, where were you last night? I waited for hours. I was...

Oh, stand me up and lie to me!

You really know how to work a girl.

OK, I'm sorry. Look, can you just tell me what to say?

- Because I'll say it. - Kiss my...

Butler! Darryl Butler, incoming.

You had your chance, Nick. You blew it.

You need me to translate that for you?

No, I think we got it.

Can it, runt, or next time I'll duct tape you to a cactus.

Why don't you butt out, Butler? Julie dumped your sorry self.
