Coming up, on MTV's Oddities.

You see that?

Weird.

Better get him on the phone.

Are you all right?

No I'm-I'm fine, really.

Nooo!

Many are the darkling forgotten facets of our world.

And Boundless is our secret fascination within.

For the next half hour turn not a blind, third eye to these twilight anomolies.

But rather, draw back the canvas portal and behold the wonderment that is MTV's...

Oddities.

I've never been very sure of myself.

Perhaps that's why I waited five days before I went to see Dr. Axel.

The first time he saw me, he must have thought I looked pretty far-out.

It wasn't until the second visit however, that things began to get really strange.

Feeling any discomfort?

No.

Does it hurt when I do this?

Not really.

Let's go over this one more time.

You say you were taking a walk.

It was about 11:45 p.m.

when you noticed some flashing lights in the sky.

You blacked out.

You woke the next morning to find yourself in bed.

And that's when you first realized, something was odd.

Yeah, that's it.

Just like I said before.

Hmm...

Level with me Doc.

Is there anything you can do?

Anything at all?

I'll be honest with you Jim.

Your condition's unique.

I've seen cases similar to this, but never anything quite this severe.

What about the x-rays?

What did they tell you?

Not much, I'm afraid.

We haven't been able to penetrate the outer membrane.

All that shows up, is a black mass.

Exploratory surgery then.

I'll sign all the necessary papers.

It's too risky man!

We don't know what we're dealing with.

X-rays don't work.

And you remember what happened when we tried to load you into the CAT scan.

We just don't have the technology.

You!

All you've been able to deliver so far have been empty promises.

I'm fed up.

I'll find my answers someplace else.

No Jim, wait!

Poor bastard.

I walked for what seemed like days, contemplating my condition.

What strange twist of fate had caused my head to grow to mammoth proportions.

You see that?

Weird.

Let's check it out.

Hey!

What's wrong with you man?

You sick or something?

Please... I'm having a bad day.

Hey, he asked you a question.

You some kind of freak?

Leave me alone.

Screw off man.

I said leave me, a...

Holy crap!

Stay out of trouble.

I thought that having an enormous head was bizarre.

But nothing could have prepared me for what went down in the alley.

I had to find out what was going on.

I had to get home.

Uhh, hello?

Can you hear me?

Take me to your leader.

You don't know how long I've been waiting to say that.

I don't believe this.

Hello Jim.

My name is -

You can call me Roy.

I'm glad we can finally talk face to face.

I'm from outer space.

Okay...

Listen, we have a lot to talk about.

But first I need to uh...

Uh...

Is there a place where I can uh...

Uh...

Oh yeah. At the end of the hall.

Thanks.

At least he's head-broken.

Uh... Here.

Whatcha got there dork?

I'll take that.

Newz blast.

Do devils walk among us, and could your neighbor be the carrier of his demon seed?

These were questions asked earlier today when three civilians were attacked in this

downtown alley by what they could only describe as the devil incarnate.

Throughout human history, tales of demonic possession have been common.

Starting with prehistoric cavemen,

who would drill holes in the skull to release the demons.

Continuing to this very day,

possession by evil, has been one of the hazards of life on Earth.

Psychic surgery is one of the more popular methods for removing such evil.

The flesh of the unholy beast has revealed itself.

Back from whence he came.

Recent Newz Blast exclusives, have shown actual exorcisms,

being performed both abroad and here in the United States.

Demon!

Begone.

Demon.

Begone!

But what happened today is different.

Today the beast left its host materialized

in flesh and wreaked havoc upon innocents.

Let's listen to one of the victims.

My buddies and I were minding our own business when

this guy with this giant head starts harassing us.

And the next thing you know,

his head splits open and this thing climbs out.

Better get him on the phone.

Papa Bear, this is Mama Bear.

Goldilocks has come home for her porridge.

Where did you get these tools?

I'm in trade school.

When I complete my training, the tools are mine to keep.

Listen, would you mind telling me what you're doing in my head?

I'm new on your planet, and I need a place to stay.

Found a nice place too.

Living in your head enables me to adapt to Earth's atmosphere and climate.

Did you take biology?

I never paid much attention.

That's okay.

You see, what we've got going here is a relationship that we can both benefit from.

It's called symbiosis.

You provide me with a home,

and I can help you solve some of your uh, problems.

Solve my problems?

Buddy, I think you got it backwards.

It's called inconvenience.

You've turned me into a freak, and my back is killing me!

So what the hell are you talking about?

I'm talking about confidence Jim.

Something you don't have.

The way you just spoke to me, not like you is it?

See, I can help you with that.

And this thing climbs out.

It starts beating on my friends.

It was inhuman.

He knocked Joe about 30... about 50 feet through the alley.

Finally... An eyewitness to support my theory.

Those fools at the Institute will rue the day they left it, Dr. Lucas Elliott!

Bring me the man in the video.

I want to talk to him.

And keep it quiet.

Freeze!

Uh-oh. Get in the car.

So you've come all the way from outer space to help me with my problems.

Are you kidding?

I'm on a mission to save the human race.

Hello?

Jim, thank God.

I've been calling you all day.

Didn't you get my messages?

No, I haven't checked my machine yet.

I've had a lot of my mind.

You've got to come back to the clinic man.

We need to do more tests.

Doc, I'm feeling much better now.

I'll-I'll call you back later, bye.

Jim, it's Dr. Axel. Please call me.

Jim please, call the clinic. Bye.

Jim, you've got to let me help you man.

Your life could be at stake.

Talk to you later.

Hi Jim. This is Madeline.

I'm just calling to remind you about dinner tonight.

I'm looking forward to your shrimp specialty.

See you later. Bye.

Oh my God, Madeline!

I completely forgot.

How am I gonna explain all this?

And you!

Did I remember to buy the pasta?

Oh my God, what am I gonna do?

What am I saying?

I can't do this.

I've gotta call her back. Now hold on there.

Just who is this Madeline?

Only the single most beautiful girl in my Arc Welding class.

Took me half the semester just to get up the nerve to ask her name.

And now she's on her way over.

One look at my head she's liable to pass out.

I gotta call her back.

No Jim.

I know you've got this big giant head.

But there's nothing you can do about it.

So just uh... Just be yourself.

She'll love you for who you are.

Beauty is only skin deep.

Actions speak louder than words.

What?

Okay. Forget all that crap.

Just take it from me.

If you don't go through with this date, you'll live to regret it.

Okay. Maybe you're right.

But what about dinner? I don't have much time.

I can help.

I need those shrimp!

Pasta stat.

She'll be here any minute.

I can't believe I'm going through with this.

Uhh Roy, you'd better get back inside.

You two will never know I'm here.

Hey!

Should you be doing that in there?

Sure.

Well, at least take some napkins.

Thanks.

You're gonna tell me what I wanna hear!

Talk!

Talk!

If you don't fess up, you get this!

And this.

And this!

That's enough!

You two are making a mockery of this investigation.

This is the work to which I've dedicated my every waking moment.

Every moment dedicated to finding even a shred of evidence.

I didn't go to parties in college.

Never participated in a panty raid or drank beer with the fellows after the big game.

While everyone else was out having fun, I was in my little room.

Working on answers to the great alien puzzle.

I'd given my life to this work.

My entire life.

I have no life.

And now, you're clowning around, it's forced me to hire!

I'm through playing games with you!

Tell me where the alien and his host came from.

He came down Mulberry Street.

That's all I know.

Load up the van.

We'll be paying a visit to this head specialist.

Dr. Barrett, please call your office.

Yes, I'm well aware of the fact that he hasn't returned any of my calls.

However, I must insist that you root his call to me

in my office, the moment you hear from him.

Thank you very much.

Damn receptionist!

Don't do it man.

Remember the Christmas party.

And the German Shepherd.

And the trouble with the ASPCA.

Try to get a hold of yourself!

Take it easy man!

Jim is that you?

Is this Dr. Axel?

Yes. Dr. Richard Axel?

Yes.

And are you located at 285 Mulberry Street?

Yes, who is this?

Thanks.

That's all I needed to know.

Out of the way, pedestrians!

You will forget.

Ow!

Forget. Ow!

Ow! Forget.

Okay boys.

Drop him.

We have bigger fish to fry.

Hello?

Hi. It's me.

Uh, come on up.

Hi!

Hi.

I see you've noticed the head.

It's nothing to worry about.

The doctor said it was just an allergic reaction to something.

Are you all right?

No I'm-I'm fine, really.

Come on in.

Cute!

I guess this explains why you haven't been to class lately.

Well, I've been hiding out.

In fact, I wasn't even going to go through with this date.

I thought for sure that you'd be repulsed when you saw me.

I guess I was wrong.

Well, you caught me a little off guard, but

to tell you the truth, I'm used to things like this.

You are?

You know how I worked out at the center?

Well, there's a support group down there for uh, human anomalies.

You mean freaks?

They're not freaks.

They're just a little different.

Really, a great bunch of people.

It might help for you to go down there and check it out.

Thanks.

I'll keep that in mind.

Mmm, not bad.

Now, let's see where those pieces went.

Lousy reception.

Ah hah!

Oh no.

Hey, this is really tasty.

Thanks.

It's my specialty.

I love that movie.

That part with the ear is unbelievable.

Really, that's my favorite.

You know, some people find that scene very disturbing.

Not me.

Oh no!

You said it was an allergic reaction.

Uh, Madeline?

This is Roy. Roy, this is...

Take cover.

Take cover!

Gork!

Maybe not. But I can kick your ass.

We have to do something!

Puny earthlings.

What's.... going on?

Help it.

Gork!

It's over Gork.

You're finished.

I think not.

You see, it's not over until it's over.

Nooo!

Madeline!

Coming up next week on MTV's Oddities.

They're not freaks.

They're just a little different.

Really, a great bunch of people.

You and I have to find the pieces and put them back together.

That's no raisin.

It's an alien!

And there could be more out there like them that we don't know about.

Waiting...

Waiting for the signal!

Stay home dear friends,

and come again to behold the mysteries of MTV's...

Oddities.
