Ricky Gervais sings ...
(to the tune of Molly Malone)

Where the girls have nice titties
I first got my arse kicked
By Alex's droogs
They battered and throttled
And shattered me bottle
Speaking strictly for me
I think that's quite rude.

DIM:
My name is Dim.
They call me Dim.
Because I'm ... dim.
But I have needs!
I have dreams!
Like Billy Elliot ...
There's another Dim ...
Inside!
And I must dance!
Dim attempts to dance and falls on his head.

The Alien in the Room
Or: !@#$the elephant in the room! What about the !@#$ing alien?
INT, OVAL OFFICE -DAY
Sometime in the Fab 50s. President Eisenhower -- AKA "IKE" -- is contemplating a scale model of Sputnik in his right hand, and a model of the Viking Rocket in his left. Suddenly, ET appears from behind his desk.
ET: ET like Ike!
IKE: Jesus Christ! What the hell are you?
ET: (holding out glowing finger) Ike friend?
IKE: “Friend” my ass! (kicks ET’s ass)
ET: Ouch!
IKE: (shouting) Dick! Getcher Tricky Dick ass in here!
NIXON: (OS) I’m eating my !@# breakfast.
IKE bursts into the next room, sees Nixon. ET is clutching onto IKE's leg. IKE is disgusted at the sight of NIXON's breakfast. As is ET.
IKE: Scrambled eggs? With ketchup on top?
ET: ET puke!
ET projectile vomits.
NIXON: What the hell is that?
IKE: I dunno. Some kinda alien or something. Bury him in a pumpkin patch or something.
NIXON: Sure. I’ll do your dirty work. (grabbing ET) Come here, you. We’re taking a ride to Area #51.
EXT, AMERICAN DESERT - DAY
Nixon rides along in a black DeSoto through desert with ET thumping in the trunk. Finally, pissed, he opens the trunk. Tarrantino POV of Nixon looking down at ET.
NIXON: What?
ET: Whittaker Chambers commie!
NIXON: No kidding.
ET: Hoover wear high heels!
NIXON: You … how do you know this stuff?
ET: Watch from skies. Know dirt. Much dirt. (extends finger) Friend?
NIXON: (extending his own finger) Friend, you little shit.
