The Last Mimzy

"Okay, everybody. Ready? Let's settle down. Today I'm going to show you a story. Let's all tune in together."

"A long time ago, the soul of our planet was sick. People had become isolated and warlike. Our world was frightened, it was dying; but a great scientist was trying to save us. He had tried many times, and he knew he could only try once more. This was the last Mimzy."

"Mimzy returned to her own time, as if time had stopped. It was what the scientist had hoped for — to find a soul in the past not contaminated by the pollutants that filled our bodies and minds. Our precious quality of humanity had been turned off, but in Emma's tears was the instruction for an awakening; and it spread like wildflowers. People shed their protective suits. And over time humanity blossomed again. Our world was saved by a child, very much like you. Emma was our mother, the mother of us all."

"I think she's the Easter Bunny."

"I can do a magic trick with my hand."

"I don't understand. What do you mean? But I don't want the world to end, ever. I love the world. I don't want it to die."

"I looked through the looking glass Mommy. I looked through it. Just like Alice."

"I need you Noah, you're my engineer."

"The people in the future can't travel through time. They need our help. Something in them is broken. And we can fix it. We have what they need. She says it's in our genes."

"I don't want Mimzy to die."

"Now Noah, Make him go."

"Noah, its us — we're building the bridge — it's for Mimzy to go back."

"Why couldn't I have a normal sister like everyone else?"

"School sucks! Life sucks!"

"This stuff could be dangerous. … I showed the green glass thing to mom. She thought it was a paper-weight. Maybe other people don't see what we see."

"This is a lot easier than Phantom-Racer."

"What about Noah's science project huh? How did he do that all by himself. I mean, usually he struggles, he needs my help, and suddenly he's in a league of his own. Something is just not right."

"Excellent question, Wendy. Why don't they do something? Why don't they stop it? Who is this "they" that Wendy is referring to I wonder? What do you think? "They" is all of us."

"This is so far out of my league."

"That — is — weird."

"In Tibet they believe that there are extraordinary children, with this very special knowledge — and abilities. They are considered actually very rare souls, very gifted — like Noah — they are called tulkus."

"We are born with over one hundred billion brain cells. The connectors are called synapses and by the time a child has reached the age of three it has formed about a thousand trillion of them. But then as we become adults, we lose over half of them. And the brain becomes rigid or hardwired. All of their potential brain power gets reduced, It narrows down, it specializes. But your children are different..."

"She made her hand dissolve into a billion pieces. Just — "pfft-pfft" — like that. It wasn't natural! That's not natural, right? … She's an alien. I think they all are."

"Its not like anything I've ever seen. Let's do a slice and scan right away."

"Have you heard? It was on the news — Your child can read you like a bedtime story — Like a magazine, Like a has-been out to grass, Like afternoon T.V. — Why is my life going by so fast?"

"Hello I love you, Is there anybody in there?"

"Life is long but it goes fast. The kids will have to separate Their future from our past."

"The ghosts are walking by my side. I feel their love I feel their pride, For I have built a bridge or two, Bridges between me and you. Hello I love you."
