The Aliens Really Did, They Really....Did

Here's the synopsis:

Nobody believes Nathaniel Hornblower's story. He insists he was taken into an alien spaceship just 6 months ago. He claims they performed strange experiments on him and probed his body for days at a time. Only to release him after two weeks, because they believe he is too valuable to the human race to keep him for their own.

He explained, in detail, the alien spaceship where he was confined. Although any Star Wars fan would surely know he was describing the Millennium Falcon. What with it's quad blasters and inability to enter hyperspace.

His story is full of holes. There's no evidence he's ever been an hour from home. There's no evidence of probes or any scarring. Nathaniel has been known to make up stories to tell his friends. He has seen many psychologists and they pretend to believe his story. They continually try to convince him that he has never been abducted, to no avail. If he continues to believe his own story they will lock him up in a mental institution. He's hallucinogenic, he's psychotic, and he could have a dangerous outburst at any time. The doctors have prescribed him tranquilizers, to keep him in a pleasant state. And did I mention how much he loves these pills?

This brings us to today. His buddy shows up at his house, he hasn't seen his buddy since the *abduction*. So it's time to fill his buddy in with all the details.

Here's my vid ref.


I am going with the first clip in that video. I liked the one where I dumped the pills out and sorted them, but I really think the first one is the most natural looking clip.

I talked to Ike about the direction I am going to take with it. He thinks the tranquilizer bottle will work well for a prop. He also told me to check out a shot in Monsters Inc. where a monster is being interviewed, after the human sighting at the restaurant. I watched it, there are a few interviewees and it's great stuff.

And yeah, if you have been abducted by aliens and you are offended by my soundbite or acting.....please, have a tranquilizer.
