2nd New Pitch Idea

I've come with this pitch idea where the story is so stupid or weird that it's funny. A student needs to study for an upcoming test, but likes to use a pencil she considers lucky for note-taking and when the movie starts, we see her searching like crazy for it and when some friends come to study with her and after asking what's up and after explaining the lucky pencil thing, she freaks out that the studying won't go well, so her friends offer to help her find it, so at least she would calm down. So they go out and search different areas where she thought she might've left her pencil. After awhile, they are about to give up when one of the friends notices a pencil sticking out of the girl's back pocket and asks her what it was and when she takes it out, she realizes that it's her lucky pencil and her friends get really upset and she feels really stupid and embarrassed after all or that.

In the background, we see a BIG BOSS MAN surrounded by enthusiastic women and a few bodyguards. Close up of the man’s face, he is clearly disengaged the company he keeps. He says nothing. His distant thoughts are suddenly interrupted as he notices SPY 1 from across the room. He turns his head ever so slightly but very quickly.

New Dealer's pitch idea

(This idea was originally an animation idea.)
I had the idea of Cole and Noki being humanoid-like aliens. When the pair of friends come across Earth, the two of them become curious of everything about it. Cole mostly is interested humans, but thinks that while Earth is interesting, he thinks it's dangerous and therefore studies humans from outside of Earth through scans and videos he records, While Noki is even more curious of the two and travels to Earth as much as she can with her teleporting ability and a machine designed by Cole to assume a more human like appearance. She soon starts taking anything she can get her hands on from toys, to electronics, to even garbage. She would even explore the inside of homes and doesn't think she'll be caught since she knows she can just teleport away. Cole tries to steer her away from her trips to Earth and often drags her back out of Earth out of fear that his friend was putting herself in danger.
Finally Noki goes as far as trying to swipe appliances from homes, her first attempt being a fridge, but ends up caught by the man living in the house who actually turns out to be an officer who uses his stun gun to stop her, but after it strikes her, she teleports away. While the gun didn't kill her, it does weaken her teleportation and she can't return to Cole or their ship in Space and ends up lost and wandering around the area of a city and can't even get in touch with Cole. Meanwhile Cole waits for Noki to return, but after a long time he gets worried and tries to find her by computer and can't find her. He wants to go to Earth to find her, but is afraid of what the planet and the people will be like and how he'd find her and has to decide to face his fear.
