Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, thanks for letting Umi come over for dinner. Mom.
We've got a lot to talk about with soccer and stuff.
He has so much to learn.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yes, so much. And then there's basketball and football and
baseball and gets it.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Umi. So anyway, Mom, we'll just be hanging out talking sports. Okay,
you two have fun. I'm sorry you lost the championship,
but I'm glad you both made a new friend. I'm
going to work on a couple of things. Then i'll
get dinner started a little later. Great, come on, Umi,
(00:46):
I cannot believe I let you talk me into this.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Come on, Aria, Chill, Everything's gonna be fine. Besides, I
don't have you were to stay. I was gonna change
myself to look like a bear and go sleep in
the woods. But this, Ah, this is so much better.
Comfy and cozy and Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Two things. One, that noise coming from a human is
just weird. Two, you are not sleeping in here. We'll
put you on the couch in the living room. Hopefully
Mom's okay with you staying over.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Ah Man, fine, I guess it can't be too mad.
Definitely beat sleeping out in the woods. Thanks for not
telling your mom who I really am by the way.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah about that, I'm telling her in the morning.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
What no, you can't, Aria, Come on, It'll just be
a week or two and I'll have everything I need
to go back home and help my people play sports.
Don't ruin it by telling your mom. You said her
bosses looking for me.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
They are looking for you, But we can trust my mom. Now,
let's talk about some sports. You can figure out which
ones you want to go learn about before you go home.
We need a game plan.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Get Bai.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
What is that noise? I was wondering the same thing.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Is that Umi making that Racketney?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Wake up? No?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Is that how you Earth people wake each other up?
You throw shoes at each other? Sheesh? On Planet zor gone?
We just gently tap each other on the shoulder or something.
Oh hey, Aria's mom.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Someone needs to explain what's going on right now. And
that's why I wanted Umi to come stay with us. Honestly, Mom,
Umi is super nice. He won't hurt anyone. He just
wants to learn about some sports.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
It's true. I'll be gone before you know it.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Ooh me, I'm still having trouble believing you're actually an alien.
You said, you're able to look like an Earth boy.
How do you do that?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I can look like anyone. I want to just use
my little change right here.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
It's okay, Mom, Jill, I I guess huh. Part of
me didn't think it was really possible.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Oh sorry, yeah, I did mean to scare you. But
this is the real me.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
An actual alien here on our planet, here in my house.
Oh what am I going to do? What do you mean?
I think it's time I tell you a little bit
more about my job working for the government. Yes, well
mostly I do work for the government, but not how
(03:50):
you think. I'm part of the EPF, the Extraterrestrial Police Force,
the what. Yes, we've known aliens exist for quite a
while now, but we've never officially made contact with any
of them. Umi here is the first. When he landed
on our planet yesterday, EPF headquarters detected the energy of
his spaceship. My boss sent me to investigate. Mom. You
(04:13):
can't you can't turn Umi in.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
No, please don't put me in Earth jail.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Easy, calm down. Let me think for a second.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Umi.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I'm not going to turn you in. I believe you
when you say you're not here to hurt anyone, But
I can't hide you forever. How long do you need
to stay?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Ari and I have a deal. I get to learn
about ten different sports and then I'll go back calm.
My spaceship is hidden the woods next to the soccer fields.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Ten sports. Oh no, that's going to take you at
least a week, maybe more. Come on, mom, we can
keep him hidden for that long, right. I think it's
going to be tough. We're going to have to work
together on this. You two are going to get out
there find the sports.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Umi.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
He wants to learn and learn them as fast as
you can. I'll lead the other EPF agents on a
wild goose chase so they don't find you. But I
can't tell you how important it is that you hurry.
They won't stay fooled forever.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
You're welcome. Now, do you two have a plan. Yeah,
we spent a lot of last night talking about soccer sill.
Umi has that one down. Next up. He wants to
learn about baseball. Great Baseball's in season two, so you
shouldn't have any trouble finding a game. Once you know
where you're going, let me know and I'll lead the
EPF in the other direction. Got it, Come on, Umi,
(05:39):
let's go. Okay, and looks like there's a minor league
baseball game in the city today, so we'll need to
catch a bus and then walk there. Mom gave me
some money. But two kids traveling alone might look weird.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Oh, don't worry about that. Check this out. Have one
of these. I'm giving you one too. On the count
of three, press that little blue button. One, two, three, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
We're invisible.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Ah pretty cool. Huh, this is amazing.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Now we can just hop on a bus and go
into the city and no one will even know we're there.
I can even leave some money for the bus driver.
Grab my hands so I don't lose track of you. There,
you are great. Now let's take you out to the ballgame. Here,
(06:41):
we are welcome to your first baseball field.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Wow, it's huge, and what an interesting shape.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah it's called a diamond. Those little white shapes around
that part of the field those are called bases. And
the way the game works.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah yeah yeah, I learn better by playing. We could
tell about the game later. Right now, I need to
copy one of the players so I can get in
the game.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Uh, are you sure about that?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, the faster I learned. The faster I can go
back home.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Oh okay, you're sure. Hmmm, Well, I don't think it
would be smart to be a pitcher since this is
your first time playing. Same thing for the catcher. I'm
thinking we should try to get you in center field
so you can really see the whole game.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Ah cool, yeah, yeah? Yeah? Which players in center field?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Back there? The middle guy standing in the grass out
there when his team comes up to bat, try to
switch out with him then?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Okay, ah perfect, I'll use my snore ray to put
him to sleep for a little while. We'll just need
to cause a distraction to get him away from the
other humans.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Lead that to me, this is called a dugout. Once
the center fielder comes in here, I'll lure him down
that hallway. You can them with your snore ray than
the change ray, so you can look like him.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Sure. Yeah, we just got to make sure no one's
around when I use the change ray, because you know,
when I do, I won't be invisible any longer.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
No betting number nineteen.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Hurry rowan Gartner. WHOA what was that loud voice?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
That was the announcer he calls out things to the audience.
See him sitting up there in the booth.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Oh yeah, how about those people next to him?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
People next to him? Oh, those two those are broadcasters.
See how they're talking into microphones. They're talking to people
who are watching the game on TV or listening to
the game on radio.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
A broad caster. Well that sounds awesome. I want to
do that.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Keep your voice down the one and one thing at
a time. Please, let's learn sports first. We can worry
about you learning broadcasting later. Gotta give me something to
do out here. Man, I'm so bored. Nobody's hit the
ball to me all day. There he is the center fielder,
follow me number three. H huh what was that you guys?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Hear that?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Now? No, this way, this way. Something funny is going
on over here. I hear someone talking down there.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Now, OOMI ninety night number three?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Nice? Okay, hurry and change into him. Then let's put
him in that closet.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yes, it worked, ha. Let's play some baseball.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Maybe, try not to talk when you're out there. You
still sound like yourself.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
No bad is number three?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Shine? Oh? No?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Uh? What oh this is bad?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Bad, bad?
Speaker 4 (09:57):
My fae, What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Over.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
You got two seconds to get in the box. A box.
Why would I get in a box. I'm not gonna
be able to see anything.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Go over there, put on one of those helmets and
grab one of those long pieces of wood. Walk up
to that white square outline on the ground over there,
and just try to hit the ball when the pitcher
throws it.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Can you say that one more time?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I send more.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
There he is?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Give it up for your center fielder. Tiger fans? Ooh hod?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Why how many hot dogs you think I can leave
before the next dinning starts?
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Oh oh, Quit worrying about your stomach and pay attention
the raid. I led us to this field because something
weird is out there.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
And look.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
The raid I's beating faster. I think I think that
guy going up to the plate might be an alien.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Number trays blaming.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
You need glasses, buddy. He's just a regular human like
you and me.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Did you never stop to think that maybe the aliens
can look like us if they want to? Genius? They
got all kinds of technology. Just keep an eye on him.
The boss was Superman. We lost them two kids in
traffic yesterday, and I ain't telling him we messed up again,
got it?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Ah? Sure, sure, I ain't like those two kids. Was
aliens either.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Okay, So I gotta try to hit the ball with
this piece of wood. Huh, how hard can it be?
Whoa holy shooting store? That was fast? I was supposed
to hit that thing. Oh, there is no way. I
barely even saw it. Stand Dune, Are you are you?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Can you hear me? Yeah? I'm standing right over here
behind you. What is a steer rike? It's how many
chances you get to hit the ball before you're out.
And you've only got one more.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Before I before I'm out out of Where are they
gonna send me back home?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Pay attention? Here comes the ball.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Oh Murphy is down.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
A fastball to the forehead has to hurt
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Omi, Omie, can you hear me?
