【文章內容簡介】 he table to watch Kyle finish the puzzle. When he does, everyone claps and congratulates him and tells him he did a great job. Turning to Nicole, Kyle looks so happy. She gives Dr. Stone a “see what I mean?” look.] THE TRAGER HOUSE The Living Room – that afternoon JOSH [looking over his shoulder as his enters] I think I got it. What if time is different on Kyle?s home pla? NICOLE [cleaning off the desk] Josh…this is Kyle?s home pla. JOSH One earth day might be like an hour for him, so ten days NICOLE is like ten hours, yeah I get it. You?re being ridiculous. JOSH Think about it. He?s this super brain, with amnesia. He can?t understand the simplest things, but does calculus like two plus two. He barely knows what you?re saying sometimes, but somehow speaks Chinese? He never sleeps and I haven?t even got to the whole belly button thing yet. Mom, I?m tellin? ya – Kyle is not human! [Kyle walks in just when Josh says this and he looks worried] NICOLE [puts a hand on his shoulder to reassure him] Oh, Kyle, of course you?re human. JOSH See – even he?s not sure. NICOLE Stop wasting time. Go do your homework. 9 JOSH That?s a waste of time. VOICEOVER I didn?t know time could be wasted. NICOLE [sits Kyle down at the desk with paper and crayons] Kyle, I want you to try something. Sometimes people have trouble sleeping because they?re concerned about something that?s happened to them. KYLE Am I? NICOLE I?m not sure. But this might help you recall some experiences. I want you to draw, anything. Anything at all. Anything you can remember about where you came from. About your home. [Kyle considers for a moment, then picks up a crayon and starts creating a picture. After a few moments, he looks up at Nicole] NICOLE Great. Don?t worry if it doesn?t make any sense to you now. Kitchen early evening NICOLE [bringing glasses of wine for her and Stephen] Kyle?s still at it. He?s been drawing for hours. STEPHEN [looking at the pictures that Kyle has drawn] Good, wear him out. NICOLE The way he draws…it?s almost like he snaps a picture in his head and then reproduces it. STEPHEN It?s the same sort of thing over and over. 10 NICOLE [pointing out one picture in particular] This must be the place near Victor Falls where he was first seen. His earliest memory. STEPHEN What do you think it means? NICOLE Well, I think something significant may have happened there but…h(huán)e can?t explain it yet. [They are looking at a picture Kyle created of a scene in the woods. It looks like a very large tree stump.] Kitchen after dinner [Kyle is sitting at the kitchen counter watching the teapot whistle] NICOLE [to Kyle] Chamomile always does the trick for me. It?s very soothing. It?s gonna help you sleep. JOSH [entering kitchen] Tastes like horse pee. NICOLE Josh… JOSH It does. KYLE What does horse pee taste like? JOSH How would I know? KYLE You just said that 11 NICOLE It?s an expression. A rude one. Here…Kyle, try the tea. It?s hot though。 be careful. [Kyle picks up the teabag on his saucer and starts to put it in his mouth] No, not the teabag! The water – you drink the tea! JOSH [pulls a notebook out of his pocket and starts writing in it] Alien. NICOLE What are you doing? JOSH Eats teabag. I?m keeping a list “What makes Kyle an alien.” [Kyle takes a sip of his tea] NICOLE [to Kyle] It?s good? KYLE [nods and smiles] It?s good. In the Bathroom [Kyle is playing in a bubble bath and Stephen is watching over him] KYLE [to Stephen] Now I?m the teabag! [ducks under the bathwater] VOICEOVER Somehow I felt safe here. Secure. At peace. JOSH [entering bathroom] He loves it under there. Coz he?s weightless – like in space. 12 STEPHEN Out. JOSH I?m right. See? He?s still under. STEPHEN Kyle – [reaches into the tub and pulls Kyle up out of the water] NICOLE [entering bathroom] Relaxed? STEPHEN One of us is. [Kyle hears Nicole?s voice and from around the edge of the bathtub, he gives her a big grin and dives back under the water. Bath time is play time. Josh is watching Kyle and making notations in his little notebook.] Lori?s Room ?3 [Kyle wanders into Lori?s room while she is talking on the phone with Declan] DECLAN So what?s up for tonight? Hitting the town with Mr. Kung Fu? LORI Nope, just hangin?. DECLAN Maybe I?ll swing by later. LORI Maybe I?ll be around. Hold on. Kyle, do you mind? [She shoos him out of her room like an annoying puppy] 13 [to Declan] Sorry. Josh?s Room Bedtime [Kyle is sitting on his bed playing with the radio and eating SPKs. He stops for a moment on a mercial for Mada Corp (“the future today”). He keeps changing the stations until there is no signal.] JOSH [adding to his list] Likes white noise – check. Dude, you?ll never sleep with that on. [He sees his halfeaten bag of SPKs on the bedstand] Yo! Hands off the stash! My Sour Patch Kids are sacred. [puts them away in the bedstand drawer] I can?t wait to fall asleep. Last night the entire Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue came to life. Just me and seven super models. I am so primed for the sequel.
