T.E., 48 tunnissa tehty lyhytelokuva

0:21Grandpa. Well, that, Jimmy, that's my best friend, T.E. T.E.? What's a T.E., Grandpa? Let me tell you a little story.

0:36Jimmy, must have been about 120 years ago now. It was a calm and brisk summer evening, and the sky was all full of stars.

0:44Little did I know, one of them wasn't a star at all. At the stroke of midnight, I heard a crash land in my backyard.

0:51You see, T.E. was riding a ship. A ship that traveled in the sky like a big bird. And that bird needs to rest its wings a little.

1:03I went out into the desert night to see what all the hubbub was about. My little star man, T.E. You see, T.E. was a mysterious lost creature from another planet.

1:25He was about three feet tall, green. He must have had at least 10 sets of eyeballs on him.

1:32The thing was, we didn't need no introduction. T.E. and I had an instant connection.

1:38We knew we were soul brothers. From then on, it was adventure after adventure.

1:45We explored all over this great country of ours. We endured war.

1:52We'd go card-sharking with the boys, fly that old crop dust all over the desert. We'd head to the carnival and eat cotton candy.

2:01And even though we didn't talk too much, we laughed and we cried together. You see, T.E. taught me all the secrets of the universe.

2:10He was... he was the best damn friend I ever had.

2:14About 50 years later, T.E. had grown old and weary. We didn't know why or why he's losing this battle.

2:21Some, some kind of space junk, some kind of space virus meant he could no longer be in our atmosphere.

2:27The day I lost T.E., well, that's the saddest day of my life. But with his dying breath, T.E. communicated something to me.

2:37First, he said I was a dumbass earthling, in his usual fashion. I called him a green bug-eyed so-and-so, but he told me I deserve to live a long life. He told me with his eyes.

2:51He told me his eyes was the key. And that's why I keep this little jar at T.E.'s eyes.

2:59Cause I could have never lived such a glorious and long life without my little buddy.

3:04And they taste real good too. Tastes like another sunrise to me.
