[Inside Hogarth's house, the phone rings and Hogarth answered it]
Hello, this is Hogarth Hughes speaking. Who's calling please?
[Over phone]
Hogarth, honey, I'm really sorry, but... [She was cut off when the waitress comes out of the kitchen. To the waitress] Thank you. [To Hogarth on phone] I need to work late tonight. There's some cold chicken in the icebox. You can have that and some carrots.
I'm way ahead of you, Mom. [Opens the bread box]
[Over phone]
Good, I'll make it up to you, okay?
Okay.
[Over phone]
I love you, honey.
Me too. [He's about to hang up.]
[Over phone]
And, Hogarth no scary movies, no late snacks, in bed by 8:00.
Got it?
[Later that night, Hogarth is watching a black and white movie on TV. The clock reads "9:04"]
Why, the porpoise can communicate telepathically, Miss Melon. [Hogarth fills the Twinkie with whipped cream and eats it.] If we can transplant at least 15% of their brain matter into ours we may be able to read minds. [Brain is on the floor] Darn. A perfectly good brain wasted. [To Miss Melon leaving the lab] I think you've seen enough. How about a nightcap? Let's say my place.
[Rolling his eyes]
Oh, sheesh.
[Chuckling]
I was thinking the same thing. Mind reader.
[Realizing]
Darn. I seem to have left my keys in the lab. [Hogarth eats popcorn, and the man goes back to the lab to get his keys he tries to turn on the light.] Hmm. [The brain moves slowly on the floor]
[Mouthful]
You're gonna get it.
[The man picks up his keys and hears shattering noises as Hogarth hears something]
Who's there?
[Hogarth goes upstairs and carries his toy gun.] [Frightened]
No! No! No!
[Hogarth quickly goes downstairs and sees the Brain monster attacks the man on TV but suddenly the TV goes static.] [Annoyed]
Aww, come on! [He smacks the TV trying to make it work but no effect] Stupid antenna.
[Later, Hogarth goes out the window with his flashlight, climbs up the tree, crawls on the roof. The antenna is torn the wooden fence is broken and Hogarth sees giant tracks on the ground.] [Shocked and Softly]
Invaders from Mars!
[Hogarth realizes what is going on so he goes to his bedroom he pulls out his BB toy gun from under his bed, takes out his helmet, the tape, his boots from his toy box, he tapes his flashlight to his BB gun, puts on his boots, his helmet. He looks in the mirror and he salutes himself. He puts his coat on and he goes outside into the night.]
