Chapter 3 - Part 3 - The Alien party

------------------- EPISODE 03 -------------------------

INT. OFFICE - DAY

Jake is on a skype call with Cougar.

Cougar is at home with his wife behind trying to change the diaper of their baby. She's turning the kid upside down. Powdering etc. Poop is everywhere. Her name is HONEY (30s)

COUGAR

Hey, buddy, what's up? Honey say hi to agent Griffon.

HONEY

Hi Jake Griffon Griffin Griffith.

JAKE

She knows my real name?

HONEY

I read it in your file.

JAKE

Dude, she saw my file?

Cougar is relaxed.

COUGAR

Don't worry, she signed an NDA. So, what's going on out there? Met any blond hot chicks?

JAKE

Well, there's been a development. Looks like we're in a middle of negotiating a deal with aliens.

COUGAR

(keeps turning over his shoulder to his wife)

Aliens. Haha. Hon, he said Aliens.

HONEY

Whatever.

COUGAR

Aliens, are you being serious?

JAKE

No fucking jokes. The guy who I am replacing died in an accident and just walked in on us. Like nothing happened. Aliens took his body. He's the negotiator.

COUGAR

Keep it casual with those aliens. ICE doesn't need to know that.

JAKE

I know, right. This is all so confusing.

COUGAR

Man, I know you for many years. You ate a sandwich on a dead body in ME's office, we had to jump off the cliffs and making unprotected sex. You'll be ok.

HONEY

I heard that.

COUGAR

Look, I gotta go, send me a postcard, will you.

JAKE

Wait.

Call is terminated.

JAKE

Shit.

Door opens and Patrick is in the doorway.

PATRICK

Hey, my American friend. Whadduup?

JAKE

Please don't say that. You're not American, you're not even from this planet.

PATRICK

Hey, wanna go grab a bite, I've got this dead body grilled.

JAKE

PATRICK

JAKE

Okay. I'll see you there.

INT. THE HOLE

PATRICK

So, what's the progress?

JAKE

What do you want?

PATRICK

Nothing. We're just hanging.

JAKE

No, I mean you.. aliens. What do you want?

PATRICK

We came here with peace. We don't want to harm you. Just wanna check on you.

JAKE

We need more information.

PATRICK

Let's hang. You know, intergalactic neighbor get together party maybe. What do you think?

JAKE

PATRICK

Yeah, chill, relax, eat some humans.

Chen doesn't reply with a look like if he's offended.

JAKE

Great, Chen food. Anything Canadian?

LISA

Like Maple syrup? I don't have any.

JAKE

Just take the Estonian one and say it's the Canadian one. They won't see the difference.

LISA

I will.

JAKE

Oh, come on guys. We're the dream team! This is our chance to show them we're good and friendly.

TATYANA

I'll bring the AK-47... The chocolate version.

GITA

Biriani, the spicy version. They are going to love it.

JAKE

Make it mild okay, we don't want Elvis farting all night. That will ruin my memories about the King.

GITA

Mild one, the Indian version of mild. Okay.

DIRECTOR

I'll do the famous stuffed potato with fish.

JAKE

Good.

INT. THE HOLE - EVENING

Everyone is at the hole. Decorations: "Welcome to Earth, fuckers!". Patrick is mingling, talking to guests. Max and Jake enter.

MAX

I have a bad feeling. Something's not right.

JAKE

Looks ok to me.

MAX

Too nice. Chen did the welcome poster.

JAKE

We need to remove it.

MAX

I'll go talk to him.

Max leaves. Patrick comes to say hi.

JAKE

So, Patrick. Is it okay if I call you Patrick?

PATRICK

That's my name.

JAKE

No, it's not. You're dead.

PATRICK

I think this conversation is going well.

JAKE

PATRICK

Any minute.

Doors open and we see, Elvis and Clinton.
