Bubble Boy (2001) Movie Script

Hi. My name's Jimmy Livingston.
My mom says when I was born,
I came gift-wrapped from heaven.
- Whoa! Whoa!
- Well, I guess this is growing up
My first memories are kind of hazy.
All I remember is a place
with white walls...
...bright lights
and a gigantic bird.
I was there because I was born
with no immunities.
A single germ could kill me.
But when I was four...
...my mom took me home...
...to beautiful Palmdale, California.
Mom helped me
make friends right away.
Let's go.
Get him in!
Our house was enormous
like a castle...
...and for the first time,
I felt completely free.
There.
Now you're safe
from that evil, filthy world.
You're home, Jimmy!
And you'll never, ever...
...ever have to go out there again.
Look at that.
Look what Mommy made for Jimmy.
I had a big room with my own bed,
lots of toys...
...and two pairs of retractable arms.
"And the prince climbed
to the top of the tower and said...
'Come with me and
we'll live happily ever after.'
And Rapunzel
left her plastic bubble...
...and died."
The end.
Those evil doctors.
Nobody's gonna get any germs
on my little boy now.
You'll always stay pure.
Won't you, Jimmy?
Jimmy! Breakfastie!
I had my reading.
I wish they had more
than one magazine in the world, Mom.
So do I, dear.
My favourite TVshow,
Land of the Lost.
- I wish TVs had more than one channel, Mom.
- So do I, dear.
And I had the best teacher
in the whole, wide world.
And then the Indians decided
to move to the reservations...
...where they could open casinos
and sell tax-free cigarettes...
...and stay out of
the white man's way.
Another A-plus.
The neighbourhood kids always wanted
to hang at my house.
Lives in a bubble
Smells like poop
Bubble Boy, Bubble Boy.
Get out of here,
you little buggers! Go on!
- But I liked to hang with my dad.
- Holy mother of shit, Morton!
Are you trying to kill him
with that thing?
Jimmy, lunchie.
Supper time was the best. Nothing could
beat Mom's home-made, vitamin-rich...
...soy-based, germ-free,
fat-free fibre cookies.
Mmm, mmm.
I grew up like any other kid.
At 16, I didn't get a car...
...but I did get an electrical
rock-music guitar!
I can't believe
the things I found
I need to find my way
I'm lost, I'm lost
I do believe I'm living
In the Land
Of the Lost
I'm living in the Land
Living in the Land
Living in the Land
Of the Lost
I was so happy. I had everything
a boy could ever want.
Until...
Chloe.
"And then Pinocchio
came out of his plastic bubble...
...touched the filthy
little whore next door and died."
The end.
Ooh, baby
Ahh, oh, yeah
Over the next few years,
I washed my window a lot.
Ahh
Ohh
Something was happening to me,
but I didn't know what.
Mom!
Jimmy, what's the matter?
What happened?
Are you all right?
- What is it?
- Oh, my God!
Don't touch it!
Hands off!
- Now, just relax. Don't get upset.
- It hurts!
Just do what I tell your father. Just say the Pledge
of Allegiance over and over until it goes away.
Come on.
I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America...
...and to the republic for which it stands
one nation under God, indivisible...
...with liberty
and justice for all.
I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America...
...and to the republic
for which it stands...
...one nation under God...
Thanks, Mom.
You can't touch this
You can't touch this
You can't touch this
- Can't touch this
- Dude! You live next door to the bubble boy.
Hey, you know what I heard? The only
thing that kid can drink is his own urine.
- Oh, yeah. True story. Swear to God.
- I heard the same thing, man. It's gross.
Then what did he drink
in the first place to make the urine?
Well, it would, um...
Tell her.
Shotgun!
He's not a monster, you guys.
He's just a boy in a bubble.
I am not a monster.
I'm a human being.
- Bye, Lisa.
- Bye, Chloe.
I wish I was
the boy in her bubble.
Let's hit the arcade.
Hi. Mr Livingston?
I'm Chloe.
I live next door.
Oh, my gosh!
- Are you okay?
- What?
Wait.
No, no, no. Don't...
I was just playing.
I was just playing.
Mayday!
You know, that.
Oh.
Was that Pakuni you were speaking,
from Land of the Lost?
- I love Land of the Lost.
- I love you too.
It! It too.
I love it too.
- I'm Jimmy.
- I'm...
- Chloe, the whore next door.
- What?
- Where did you hear that?
- My mom. She teaches me everything.
Well, really, she got it wrong. I'm
actually more of a bitch than a whore.
A bitch.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
A bitch.
Absolutely, a bitch.
Yeah.
You play guitar?
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah.
Uh, do you wanna try it?
Oh, no, I don't know how.
I could teach you.
Right now.
I can't right now, but...
I should go.
How about tomorrow?
Oh, Jeez, I don't know.
I don't know, bitch.
I got a lot to do.
See you tomorrow. Bye.
She's certainly proud
of those boobies, isn't she?
Something tells me she's not the kind
of friend Jesus would pick, Jimmy.
When I look
All a
Round
- I suck.
- No, no, you don't. Come here. No.
- You have to just press
harder. - Okay. - Harder. Here.
- Like... - Now
go. Now go. - Okay.
- Harder.
- When I
Look
All around
- Round
- I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America...
...and to the republic for which
it stands, one nation under God...
- Everything okay?
- Yeah. Let's go.
Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice
to live together
In the kind of world
where we belong
You know it's gonna make it
that much better
When we can say good night
and stay together
Trick or treat!
Smell my feet!
Hey!
In the morning
when the day is new
- And after having spent the day together
- Oh!
- We'll hold each other close the whole night through
- It's Bubble Guinea.
- Wouldn't it be nice -
Oh, my God! - Hi, Bubble Guinea.
Jimmy.
Stupid gutter.
Jimmy.
Jimmy.
- Hello.
- Chloe?
Yeah.
- Bubble Boy!
- What about your party?
Jimmy, you have to wish me
happy birthday.
What about your party?
The party.
I'll show you a party. Come here.
Don't be shy. Come here.
My mom's asleep.
Don't you wanna give me
a birthday kiss?
- Shh.
- Shh.
Whoa! Chloe!
I hate this stupid bubble.
I got everything I wanted for
my birthday, except you, Jimmy.
- That's why I'm coming in.
- Chloe, wait! Whoa, whoa.
Don't worry.
You can decontaminate me.
- Oh, yeah - What?
- Relax. Have a beer.
Wait. Um, wait. Chloe?
I'm not so sure
that's such a good idea.
Jimmy.
Jimmy.
Please let me in.
- Oh, baby
- Please?
Uh, Chloe? Uh...
I, uh...
Maybe I should have let her in,
but I was scared.
So who could really blame her
for what happened next?
Hold on.
You look beauti...
Oh, hi.
- Ooh, corsage.
- I'm sorry.
Um, Mark, Jimmy.
Jimmy, Mark.
What's up, Jimbo?
- What's up, M-Marko?
- You ready?
- Yeah. Just let me use the bathroom, okay?
- All right. Pinch it quick.
She loves that one.
- Cigarette?
- What?
So, Chloe tells me
you're a musician.
Well, I rock,
if that's what you mean.
Ah
- You know?
- So, what are you guys gonna do tonight?
You know, a little bit of this.
Uh, uh, uh!
Oh, yeah.
That's it.
Ah, that's it!
- Sounds like fun.
- All right, all ready.
That's how I do it on stage.
Did I tell you how beautiful you look?
Come here.
I'm gonna be the luckiest guy
at the prom.
One thing was for sure.
Mark was cool.
Bye, Jimmy.
Who could compete
with a guy like that?
- Hands.
- I'm sorry.
Come on, Chloe.
We've been going out for two years.
I want a little action.
Mark, I told you...
I wanna wait till I get married.
Hands.
I tried to warn you,
but you wouldn't listen.
All women will
leave you someday.
That girl didn't love you.
She just felt sorry for you.
You really think she'd wanna marry a boy
who couldn't even touch her?
- Hey.
- Hi.
Are you going somewhere?
Um, yeah.
You know Mark?
Well, we've sort of been going out
off and on for a while now.
And, um...
...well, he kind of...
asked me to, um...
- To go fishing?
- No!
- To go to the movies?
- No.
- To get married?
- Yes!
The wedding's this Saturday
in Niagara Falls.
I did... I didn't know how to tell you,
Jimmy, because...
...the thing is, um...
I really wanted to know if you think
he's the right one...
...because it's such a big step,
you know, and...
...Jimmy?
I made you something.
Take Bubble Guinea Pig
'cause I don't want him any more.
So that's it?
That's all you're gonna say?
Bye, Jimmy.
Goodbye.
Can you still remember
how it seemed
That we could live forever
in a lover's dream
And falling was the best part
But now you know
The things you cling to your heart
can start to grow
You, you're walking away
I can bear now
I know what to say
I'm the king of yesterday
Oh, why don't
why don't you stay
God bless America!
That nasty little slut
left just in the nick of time, Morton.
I had no idea
what I was up against.
Chloe hadn't told me much.
All I knew was that
she was in New York...
...which may as well been on
the other side of the galaxy...
...and I only had
three days to get there.
Three days. I just needed
the bubble suit to last that long.
Flying high now
It's so high now
Feeling strong now
Moving on now
Grass.
Street lamp. Oh.
Dog poop!
This is awesome!
I'm running! I'm running!
Well, I guess this is growing up
Well, I guess this is growing up
Well, I guess this is growing up
Well, I guess this is growing up
Well, I guess this is growing up
Well, I guess this is growing up
Well, I guess this is growing up
- Well, I guess this is growing up
- Hello! Hello!
Well, I guess this is growing up
Hi. It's my first day
out in the world.
Um, I'd like to go to Niagara Falls.
That'll be $260.
Plus I gotta charge you for an additional
seat for that stupid thing you're wearing.
Oh, money. Oh.
Money.
- How far will this get me?
- Take a step back.
That far.
Um, the girl I love is getting married
and I have to stop the wedding.
That's fantastic.
Next!
Next in line, please.
Okay. Have a nice day.
The white zone is
for loading and unloading only.
Are you all right?
Are you all right?
- What is it?
- Oh, he's alive!
I need to get to Niagara Falls by Saturday
to stop Chloe from getting married.
- Oh! - I'm Todd.
- And I'm Lorraine.
- And we can get you to Niagara Falls.
- Really?
Bright and shiny!
Stick him in the rear!
Yeah!
Bright
And shiny
Bright
And shiny
People all across the land
Come and join our happy band
Always happy, never gay
Living clean is A-OK
Bright
And shiny
- Excuse me, Todd.
- Bright
And shiny
If you save yourself for God
you will get the Golden Rod
Give up on society
We will be your family
Bright
And shiny
Jimmy! Breakfie!
Jimmy!
The Kloobda.
The Kloobda is the holy guide
to living pure...
...dictated to Gil
by a talking salamander.
But more on that later.
This will help explain.
Put it in the decontamination bay.
Right there.
First, we prepare our souls by stripping
ourselves of all material possessions...
...and sexual desires.
- Kool-Aid, Lorraine?
- Thanks, Lorraine.
- Lorraine?
- Ooh!
Her name's Lorraine too?
We're all Lorraine.
And you will be Todd,
a name chosen especially for you by Gil.
What does Bill do
with all your stuff?
He's holding it for us
at the compound.
- Where's the compound?
- I'm not really sure.
- In Texas?
- Oh.
You're not a singing group.
You're a cult.
Why we'd stop? This isn't
Niagara Falls! This is a desert!
Y-Yes, yes, I-I-I realize that in
typical cases you have to wait 48 hours...
...but you see,
this is not a typical case.
My son is a bubble boy.
He'll die out there!
Well, you'll certainly
be in my prayers tonight.
And I'll be praying
you get nut cancer!
All right, Plan B.
Did you finish the note?
Come on.
"Mr and Mrs Livingston,
we have kidnapped your son.
Pay $ 100,000 or he dies.
Signed, the Jews."
Are you kidding?
Are you kidding me?
Who in their right mind
is gonna believe this note?
It's the Jews, Morton!
They're gonna want
more than $ 100,000!
Think, man, think!
Havin'a bad day
Havin'a bad day
Get out of my way
'Cause I'm havin'a bad day
Havin'a bad day
Havin'a bad day
Get out of my way
'cause I'm havin'a bad day
- Havin'a bad day
- Get off!
Havin'a bad day
Get out of my way
Get out of my way
Have you seen my son?
Hello? I think he's deaf.
Have you seen my boy?
Yeah, your weird-ass son
got on a bus full of, like...
...happy people skipping around
all over the place...
...and they headed towards Vegas...
you know, Satan's anus.
- Thank you.
- You filthy, fat, filthy deaf man!
Um, I heard that.
Morton, let's move it!
I'll have you know
that I've lost two pounds.
I have my ankle weights
on right now...
...and it's very hot in here,
and I'm losing weight.
I've lost four pounds
in the last two months.
Havin'a bad day
Havin'a bad day
Get out of my way
'Cause I'm havin'a bad day
I'm havin'a bad day
- Get out of my way 'cause I'm havin'a bad day
- Hey!
- Hey, hey!
- Oh!
What are you?
- Some kind of astronaut?
- No. I'm a...
...I'm... I'm some kind of bubble boy.
How do you take a dump
in that thing?
Um, I think I could help you
with your situation here.
How's some bubble vato
gonna help me?
I got patches.
Patches?
I could use some stinking patches.
Welcome, my children.
Welcome.
Today will truly be a time
of spiritual illumination.
Now, can anyone guess
why we're all here?
- Oh, oh! Me! Oh! -
Yes, Todd. - To find...
- No, the other Todd.
- To find out the final incarnation of the Chosen One?
Exactly.
I can see you've been
reading your Kloobda.
The Chosen One is among us!
He walks the earth.
His final incarnation will be...
The round one!
Yes, the round one.
The holy messenger trapped
in a living globe.
We must find him and release him...
...so that he may carry us...
...only true believers,
to the kingdom of heaven.
And those who reject him
will mutate...
...and burn eternally
on planet PX-41...
...or PX-42 if they run out of room.
If there are no further questions,
let's move on to the buffet.
So they kicked you out of the bus in the middle
of the desert to die like some perro?
Yup.
- Where you headed?
- Niagara Falls.
I gotta get there by Saturday to stop
Chloe from getting married to the wrong man.
Let's cut the vato, huh, ese?
I wasn't planning on
cutting the vato, no.
Somebody run off with your old lady,
legally you're allowed to cut him.
She... She wasn't technically
my old lady.
I just never, um...
I just never told her
how I felt.
When I was your age,
I was in love with a woman.
- Debbie? - No.
- Oh, Danielle.
Wildfire!
Oh, Wildfire!
She looks really nice.
Yeah, but she left me
for some other vato. You know.
Real buttoned-down "I gotta get a job"
kind of vato, you know?
To this day, ese,
I regret not finding him...
...and cutting his heart out
in a really violent way.
Don't be like me, ese.
Don't live in regret.
We'll be riding Wildfire
We'll be riding Wildfire
I'm okay.
- Look at the lights!
- This is Las Vegas, Jimmy!
Wow!
Paris!
- That's beautiful, ain't it?
- And New York!
- That's big New York.
- This is amazing, Slim.
- Go faster! Go faster!
- You like wind in your hair?
Yeah.
"We have the loosest sluts."
That's "slots".
I'll show you how to play
the slot machines.
We can win some gas money
so we can get to Niagara Falls.
- All right, chicas!
- Chicas!
This is amazing!
This town never goes to sleep.
We're gonna do some partying!
Jimmy! Where are you, baby?
My baby Jimmy?
Here we go. Oh, yeah.
Coming through. Excuse us.
Come on.
Talk to me, babies.
Looking good!
Yes, all right.
- Slim?
- Yeah.
What's it like?
I could tell you what it was
like with me and Wildfire.
1200 CCs of American steel
vibrating between your legs. Oh!
I'm talking fourth gear.
4,000 RPMs!
That sounds amazing.
- Hors d'oeuvres?
- No, thanks.
I got my own.
Okay. Last one.
- You go for it.
- Oh, no, I couldn't.
Go on. You want to win the money
for our trip, don't you?
But what if I lose again?
You didn't get out of that bubble room
to play it safe, did you?
- You're right.
- Go for it.
I'm tapped out.
I'm gonna go steal some quarters
from that blind lady.
- Slim, I don't think...
- Wait here.
I gotta go.
I only have two days to...
When we're done in this casino,
we'll check out...
Wait! No, Slim! I gotta go!
I only have two days left!
- It's gonna be awesome.
- I only have two days left.
I didn't like leaving Slim
without saying goodbye...
...but I knew the vato
would understand.
The wedding was two days away and I
only had 12 CCs of American steel...
...to get me there.
Don't think I can't see you gawking
at those neon boobies.
Just keep your eye
on the road, mister.
Hey, have you seen
my little buddy?
He's got, like, frizzy hair
and he's in a bubble.
Hey, what's up?
Have you seen this
little bubble guy, man?
I wanted to show the little vato
some fun. I didn't mean it.
Excuse. Hola.
We're a bit lost.
Uh, could you tell us the way to...
...Niagara Falls?
I beg your pardon?
'Cause that's where my buddy was headed
when you left him in the desert to die.
Come back! You Bright and Shinies! Come
back and get shiny on my knife, huh?
This looks like Area 51.
Holy mother of shit, Morton!
What is that?
A space creature?
An alien?
Oh, my God! Jimmy!
Jimmy!
Jimmy!
Stop the car! Jimmy!
I wasn't quite sure
just how I'd gotten on board...
...but I'd always dreamed
of riding a train.
Thank goodness
the worst was behind me.
Or so I thought.
Look, he's awake.
What are we going to do?
- Dr Phreak is gonna hear you!
- What?
He's gonna hear you.
You gotta hide.
What did you say?
He said be quiet or
the doctor will hear you.
Who are you?
They call me the Human Sasquatch.
What's your real name?
Um, Clark?
So what's your deal?
Why are you in a bubble?
To protect me from germs.
I was born without any immunities,
so even a single one could kill me.
But your doctor
would know all about that.
- Be quiet! He's gonna come!
- He's not your average doctor.
He's Dr Phreak.
We're all a part of his
New Travelling Phreak Show.
- He owns us.
- Owns you?
- Shh! - Be quiet! Here comes
Dr Phreak! - He's an ex-con.
If he find out you're in this train,
he'll own you too.
Look!
Now you did it, Bubble Butt.
- Here he comes! Run for your life! Run!
- He's a vicious brute.
You're Dr Phreak?
- Why, he's so mini!
- Mini?
Me? Mini?
I'm not mini!
I'm not mini!
Not! Not! Not!
I'm not mini!
Who the hell are you?
- He's the bubble boy.
- Yeah. - Shut your beak!
- What are you doing out of your coop?
- I shut up.
You know, I could use
some fresh meat in my show.
Why don't you hop your little
bubble butt back on that train?
Uh, thanks, but, um...
I gotta get to Niagara Falls by Saturday
to stop Chloe from getting married.
That's so... so beautiful.
- I, too, once loved another.
- You did?
For ten minutes.
Then I kicked her ass out of the car.
Okay, well, I gotta get going.
Going?
What are you gonna do?
You're a freak, and I should know.
That's my business.
No decent girl's gonna want
to marry a bubble freak.
Once you get that through your thick,
freaky skull, then give me a call.
What's wrong with being a freak?
- Doctor?
- Is he okay?
- I didn't mean to...
- He looks sweet when he's not yelling.
You... You've killed him.
- What are we going to do?
- Good luck.
Bye!
- Heads up, Bubble!
- Okay, bye!
Get your own bags!
What do you think I am, a bellhop?
Hey, where are you guys going?
- Uh, we're going with you, Dr Bubble.
- We're going with you.
Dr Bubble? No, no, no, I...
You... You guys are free.
You can do whatever you want now.
- We're free!
- We're free. Free as a bird.
- On to Niagara Falls!
- Rock and roll all the way!
Look, you guys, um,
I gotta do this alone.
- Oh, yeah.
- Bye!
It sure was nice of the train man
to loan me his vehicle...
...but if I was ever gonna make it
to the wedding on time...
...I was gonna have to find
something with a motor.
Oh, my God!
He ain't eating meat.
Can you all believe it?
It's tofu! Tofu!
Excuse me.
Uh, could anybody give me a ride?
Tofu gave me such gas!
Bloody red meat!
Rare! Rare American meat!
You know, that's... that's the
stupidest-looking hat I've ever seen.
- It's adorable! It's adorable!
- Hey! Hey!
Stop picking on him.
Oh!
Look it. Look here.
- I don't want any trouble. I was just...
- Really?
- Sissy beach ball!
- Why are you in that bubble, boy, huh?
Well, um, because I was born
without any immunities and I...
Immunities?
What the hell are immunities?
Well, I ain't sticking
around to find out!
- Me neither.
- What?
Everybody out!
- He's got immunities!
- No, no, no, no!
- He's contagious!
- I don't have any immunities!
Don't try to change
your story now, boy.
I don't have germs!
I'm not contagious!
I just need a ride!
I need a ride!
I hereby declare
this place quarantined!
I don't have germs!
I don't...
- Burn, baby, burn
- Whoa! Whoa!
- What's going on, Sheriff?
- Burn, baby, burn
Guys, I think
your building's on fire.
- Burn, baby, burn
- Carl Peterson's best pig just died!
It's spreading!
It's spreading!
Burn, baby, burn
Disco inferno
Burn, baby, burn
Burn that mother down, y'all
Burn, baby, burn
Disco inferno, yeah
- Now, burn it
- Hey!
Just like Calcutta in the summer!
Come. Follow me.
Come on.
- I don't think I'm in!
- Stop messing about.
This whole town is going to blow!
Boy, howdy!
Now, that's a good fire!
- Uh-oh.
- Burn, baby, burn
Disco inferno, yeah
Burn that mother down
Burn, baby, burn
Ice cream! Ice cream!
Curry!
Let's go. Let's go. Come on.
Watch out for the feet.
I told you. I told you before.
Look out! Coming through!
I'm on the run.
Morton, that's the one!
Jimmy! Jimmy! We're here!
Morton, get this thing open.
Jimmy! Ji-Jimmy! Oh!
Look at this cute
little boy, Morton.
Can you tell me, have you seen my son?
He's wearing a large plastic bubble suit.
I know what you want.
I'll give you some candy.
- He stole my freaks, that son of a bitch!
- Oh! Potty mouth you have.
Where was he going?
Screw you, lady!
Thanks.
Thanks for saving me back there.
- You're welcome.
- Those were some crazy vatos.
For some unknown reason, Shiva brought
you into my life like a hot flash.
You came to my defence, and the law of
karma requires me to return the favour.
You see, this ice cream truck
is merely a catalyst...
...a way to teach the wisdom
of the sacred cow.
For who can resist ice cream, eh?
I know I can't.
So, how may I be of service to you,
my zip-locked friend?
I need to get to
Niagara Falls by Saturday...
...to stop Chloe from getting married.
Oh.
I was thinking more along the lines
of a free snow cone, but okay.
Niagara Falls it is.
Living in the Land
Of the Lost
Livin'in the Land
No way is this better
than Jurassic Park.
I can't believe you and Bubble Geek
actually like this show.
- The effects look totally fake.
- That's the whole point.
What, it's supposed
to look fake?
I'm not here.
- Hello?
- What have you done with my son?
Mrs Livingston?
Is he with you?
How could he be here?
Well, apparently he's on his way
to your wedding in a bubble suit...
...exposing himself to all the wickedness
and filth this world has to offer.
And you're responsible!
Come on! Over here!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on, this way!
Come on, come on!
Let's go, Morton.
Correction. You two aren't going
anywhere until I get my freaks back.
Don't you take that tone of voice
with me, young man.
Morton, are you just gonna sit there
and let him talk to me like that?
Yeah, Mort, are you?
- My car!
- My freaks!
Road trip!
Help! Jimmy!
Aah! Jimmy!
Help!
Hang on! Hang on!
Screw you, Grumpy!
Hop on, babe.
Thanks for saving me, Mark.
How do you do it?
Immunities, baby.
Immunities.
Oh, dear.
Oh. Oh.
Look at that. It's an elk.
Or-Or is it a... a caribou?
Or an American bison?
I, uh...
I think that it's a cow.
Oh, really? A cow?
I didn't know.
What have I done?
It's just a cow, Pushpop.
It's not...
Just a cow?
Just a cow?
In my religion, the cow is the womb
from which all life springs!
I have transgressed against Shiva!
Shiva?
The six-armed goddess.
Have you ever been karmically
bitch-slapped by a six-armed goddess?
I'll take that as a no!
Oh, um...
...it's okay, Pushpop.
Your religion's all lies.
- Pardon?
- That's what my mom says.
I mean...
Bollocks.
I must atone.
His mother taught him.
What nonsense.
May Shiva shine upon your journey.
Well, can't we...
can't we drive and atone?
No! One for the road.
What?
There are germs in here!
Frozen! No germs!
No germs?
When did this happen?
Thanks for the lift.
So long!
Ice cream!
It was one thing that my mom had never
heard of the bitch-slapping goddess...
...but it seemed like everybody should've
heard of frozen, germ-free ice cream.
Everybody loves ice cream.
Stripper.
Dykes.
Dear Lord, if thou findest the stealing
of this truck offensive in any way...
...please direct thy wrath
upon that midget...
...and not upon us,
thy humble servants.
All right.
Let's haul ass.
One of you two gotta drive.
I can't reach the pedals.
Okay. Upsy-daisy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, go.
I'm coming back as a cockroach.
Definitely a cockroach.
Now, we don't know where
those hands have been, do we?
Rub 'em together.
Rub 'em together.
Kill those germs. That's right.
Good boy.
No! Stop!
Show some respect!
Hey! Yo, hippie!
You seen a big, yellow bus with a lot of bright
and shiny cabrones pass through here?
No, sir.
I don't believe I have.
You got any Bomb Pops
on that truck?
Oh, yes.
Please, take the whole damn truck.
All right! Ice cream!
Who wants a blue one?
Come and join our happy band
Always happy, never gay
Living clean is A-OK
Bright
And shiny
What have I done?
You okay?
Yeah.
It's just... Jimmy's
my best friend, you know?
We basically spent
every day together in high school.
Yeah? Did you ever, you know,
get in his bubble?
No.
- Not that I didn't think about it, though.
- I know what you mean.
I used to play "Spin the Bottle"
with the kid from Special Ed.
Well.
I mean, obviously, it would've never
worked out between the two of us.
Yeah. I mean, rubber comes in handy every
once in a while, but let's not go overboard.
You're way better off
with my brother.
Yeah. Way better off.
Take a little time
Throw it on the line
Let me believe

Hi. I need to get
to Niagara Falls by tomorrow.
- Can you take me there?
- Depends.
- Depends on what?
- Going that far I'll have to get me some Depends.
And 500 smackers.
$500?
Where am I gonna get $500?
All right, who wants to be next?
Who wants the five hundred dollar?
Now, we need some fresh blood here!
Whoa! Spotlight on the dance floor!
Whoa, I like the look of this.
Mr Alien is here!
- What are you doing here, dummy?
- Um, I saw the sign outside...
...and it said, um,
that you have $500, and so...
You want five hundred dollar?
Yes, I... I would like $500.
You want five hundred dollar?
Yes, I would...
Please, I would like $500.

Bitch-slap me, Jesus
I've lost my way
Strayed from your path
Yet I pray
Who let the dogs out
Morton, I was listening to that.
Yeah, Mort.
A girl can't get five minutes
of quality time with Jesus.
Man, this is some good curry.
Yeah!
I got the money!
Look! There he is!
I've got the money!
We found you, Todd.
We know who you are.
We've come to set you free.
- You are the Chosen One!
- Well, I don't need you to set me free.
I don't need... I don't...
Wait!
- Look. Those people have Jimmy.
- Stealth. - What the hell is that?
- We've gotta get him away from those freaks.
- What could we do?
- We need a plan.
- We blend.
I've got a plan.
What size shirt you wear?
And now, to avoid mutating
and burning on planet PX-41...
...we release the Chosen One
using the ceremonial tweezers.
With this tiny prick,
I release thee!
No! No! Don't! I'll die!
It must be a test.
Where's my Kloobda?
- Right there, Lorraine.
- Thank you.
You're welcome.
Wait a minute.
You're not a Shiny.
Who are you?
Uh, Todd?
- Oh! Hi, Todd!
- Wait a minute.
- What's the matter with your arms?
- What are you talking about?
- There's nothing wrong with my arms!
- Look at him!
We're too late.
We're mutating.
We're gonna get you out
through the front of the bus.
Oh, God!
Why won't you help me?
He's got a bubbly face
and a bubbly nose
Mr Bubble
Bubble, bubblicious
The ultimate bubble
Tiny bubbles
Tiny bubbles
In the wine
I know. I miss him too.
Come on, Bubble Boy! Hurry up!
- Come on!
- This way, guys. Hurry!
This way.
Guys! Hey! Come on! Todd!
Hey, Shinies!
We got some
unfinished business, huh?
No, no, Slim.
They're my friends.
- They got him brainwashed.
- No, no, no! Step back!
- Wait!
- Bubble, we're gonna help you out.
- Don't worry.
- I'll take you all on with one flipper behind my back.
You want a mouthful of tuna?
Free Willy! Free Willy!
- You're all coming to get...
- I'm gonna whup that ass!
Get it off of me!
Get it off of me!
Niagara Falls, and step on it!
- It's the cops. - Wait a
minute. - Don't touch me there.
Wait a minute.
Where's Bubble Boy?
You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
- Than mislead you with
a lie - Poon... - Huh?
- Chasing a dame, ain't ya?
- And who am I to judge you
- By what you say or do - Last
time I was in a commotion like that...
...it was all on account
of Poon...
- Oh, what the astronauts drink.
- No, no. My wife.
My little China doll.
Yeah, till that damn brother of mine
too her off to Waxahachie.
Snatched my Poon...
right out from under me.
Eighty-six years ago.
I ain't spoke to that bastard since.
- Don't live in regret, ese.
- I wanna hold you till I die
- He's your family.
- Family.
Till we both break down and cry
- I really gotta go.
- I told you, once we're on the road, we're not stopping.
Than mislead you with a lie
- And who am I to judge you - And after
all that, they still didn't get you a new puppy?
- No.
- Poor little thing.
No wonder you turned out
the way you did.
- And sometimes when we touch
- It'll be all right.
The honesty's too much
Morning, Pappy.
You must be tired.
You get any sleep?
I said, you get any sleep?
Pappy?
Pappy?
Pappy?
Pappy! Pappy! Stop!
Yeah, I'm fine.
You have a phone?
Yello.
- Hello?
- Hi. Is, uh... Is Chloe there?
- Uh, who can I say is calling?
- Uh, it's Jimmy.
Oh. Hello, Jimmy.
Where the hell are you?
I'm really close.
Like, uh, in New York, I think.
Look, I don't mean to burst
your bubble, Jimbo, but, uh...
...if you got a thing for Chloe,
it's not gonna happen, okay?
We're getting married in one hour.
What are you expecting to happen, huh?
You can't even touch her, you know?
How are you gonna have children, huh?
- Do you even have sperm?
- Well, not... But she, um...
Face it, dude.
You're a charity case.
Chloejust felt sorry for you
because you lived in a bubble.
Do us all a favour. Go on back
to Palmdale where you belong.
I wasn't quite sure
what Mark meant about the sperm...
...but he was right about one thing.
Even if I did get there, I could
never really hold Chloe in my arms...
...or kiss her for real.
I really was a freak.
- Hello.
- Hi, Dr Phreak. It's Jimmy.
- Jimmy who?
- The bubble boy.
- Jimmy? Give me that!
- That's my phone.
- Hello. Jimmy?
- Mom?
- Jimmy?
- What are you doing with Dr Phreak?
- Where are you?
- Where are my freaks?
Okay, sweetheart,
we'll be right there. Don't move.
Morton, we've got our boy back.
Give me that.
Son of a bitch. Mama.
I never stole anything before
and I just fell off a dead man's car...
...and my parents are about to come pick me up
and this is the girl I love's favourite beer...
...and I was just wondering,
could I borrow it?
Yeah, sure.
Thanks.
Now, open the safe!
Do it! Chop chop!
My baby! The sweet Lord
has delivered you from evil.
I must say, you put us
through heck, young man.
But I think you've learned
a valuable lesson.
There's no place like home.
Okay, Morton, load him in the car. The spirit's burning
so strong in my bosom, I think I have to wee-wee.
How... How was it out there?
Was it fun?
You can see the moon today.
You know, it kind of makes you wonder
what would have happened...
...if Neil Armstrong had gone
all the way to the moon...
...and then never
stepped on the surface.
Jimmy! Morton, where's Jimmy?
What happened?
Jimmy! Jimmy!
Jimmy! Come to Mommy!
No, Mom! I'm sorry!
- I gotta do this! I'm not coming home.
- It's all right to tell me what you think
- Jimmy!
- Todd!
- Jimmy!
- Todd, we love you!
- We've come to set you free!
- Who the hell are you?
Back off, bitch! He's the Messiah!
We love you, Todd!
- Jimmy, no! - The pedal to
the metal, Flippy. - Here we go!
Jimmy!
- Bubble Boy.
- Hang on, kid.
Pappy?
Watch out!
Slim?
Wildfire?
Wildfire
What happened to you, Pappy?
I thought you were dead.
I ain't Pappy. I'm Pippy. I ain't talked
to that sumbitch brother of mine...
...in 86 years, and that's
all on account of that...
- Poon...
- Poonani!
- Poonani?
- Sister to Poon...
Well, Pappy talked about Poon... But he
never mentioned any Poonani, Pippy.
Oh, my God.
I made it. I made it.
Niagara Falls!
Niagara Falls!
Oh, there's the church!
There's the church!
Chloe!
Take me down, Pippy.
Take me down.
Oh, we're going down.
Very fast.
Pippy!
Chloe!
You didn't break out of that bubble room to
play it safe. Don't live in regret, ese.
No regrets. No regrets.
No regrets. No regrets. No regrets.
No regrets. No regrets!
I made it!
I'm late! I'm late!
Do you, Mark, take Chloe
to be your lawfully wedded wife...
...to honour and cherish,
in sickness and in health...
...as long as you both shall live?
Oh, yeah.
I'm almost there! I'm almost...
And do you, Chloe, take Mark
to be your lawfully wedded husband...
...to honour and cherish,
in sickness and in health...
...as long as you both shall live?
Come on, babe. Easy question.
Chloe!
Jimmy!
Hey, dude, what the hell are you doing
here? I thought I told you to head on home.
- Just hold on a second, vato.
- Vato?
- Shut up!
- Am I out of line here?
Chloe, I, uh...
What?
What?
Jimmy, what are you doing?
Jimmy.
Jimmy?
I'd rather spend one minute holding you than
the rest of my life knowing I never could.
So if you don't mind,
uh, may I kiss the bride?
Is it me?
- I love you. I love you, Chloe.
- Jimmy?
Forever.
Okay?
Jimmy? No!
Jimmy!
Jimmy? I love you, Jimmy.
I've always loved you.
He's dead! You killed him!
Oh, Jimmy!
My little sweet Jimmy.
Oh, my angel.
My precious little one.
My angel.
- Tell him.
- What are you talking about? Tell him what?
- He's not dead. You're not dead, Jimmy.
- He's lying, Jimmy.
Tell him.
Tell him everything.
- You're not dead, Jimmy.
- I'm not?
You developed immunities
when you were four.
But I couldn't let the world
ruin you with its filth.
There are so many awful things out
there, Jimmy. There's so many horrible...
I love you, Mom.
So...
uh, since I'm not dead, um...
Wouldn't it be nice
if we were older
Then we wouldn't have
to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice
to live together
In the kind of world
where we belong
