"Are we the first?" "Are we the first to arrive here?" "Is the interpreter with you?" "I"m not a professional interpreter." "My occupation is cartography." "I"m a mapmaker." "Can you translate French into English and English into French?" "Yes, I explained to the team leader in Villa Hermosa." "I"m just a little taken by surprise." " Êtes-vous Monsieur Loglin?" " Laughlin, oui." "Oh, Laughlin." "Pardon." "They"re all there!" "All of them!" "Check for landing marks!" "Mr. Lacombe wants the numbers off the engine blocks!" "M-47 1 48!" "W-45529!" "Number 445529, check!" "Approximately 46 gallons in the right tank!" "447 1 49, check!" "Tell me something." "What"s happening here?" " It"s flight number 1 9!" " 1 9 what?" "It"s that training mission from the naval air station at Fort Lauderdale." "They were doing target runs on an old hulk." "Who flies crates like these anymore?" "No one!" "These planes were reported missing in 1 945." "But it looks brand-new!" "Where"s the pilot?" "I don"t understand!" "Where"s the crew?" "!" "How the hell did it get here?" "!" "He says this guy"s local." "He was here last night." "He saw it happen." "Sunburn?" "He says the sun came out last night." "He says it sang to him." "Ernie, keep an eye on that point-out." "He"s on 1 22.5." "I"ll be right back." "Indianapolis Center, you have any traffic for Air East 31?" "Air East 31, negative." "The only traffic I have is a TWA L-1 01 1 in your 6:00 position range 1 5 miles and an Allegheny DC-9 in your 1 2:00 position, 50 miles." "Stand by." "L"ll take a look at broadband, over." "Air East 31 has traffic 2:00, slightly above and descending." "Air East 31, roger." "I have a primary target about that position now." "I have no known traffic." "Stand by, I"ll check low, over." "Check and see if they know who it is." "Center, Air East 31." "The traffic's not lower than us." "He's 1:00 now, still above me and descending." "Air East 31, can you say aircraft type?" "Negative, Center, no distinct outline." "To tell you the truth, the target is rather brilliant." "It has the brightest anti-collision lights I think I've ever seen." "Alternating white to red." "The colors are striking." "Center, this is TWA 51 7." "Traffic now looks like extra-bright landing lights." "I thought Air East had his landing lights on." "It could be a satellite." "I have a primary target now in your 1 0:00 position five miles, over." "Affirmative, 31." "The traffic is proceeding northeast." "No altitude readout." "Roger, Center." "It doesn't appear he'll be a problem." "He's going to descend about 1 500 feet below me." "Wait a second!" "Stand by, one." "Okay, Center, Air East 31." "The traffic has turned." "He's heading for my windshield." "We're turning immediately." "Descend and maintain flight level 31 0." "Break Allegheny, turn right 30 degrees." "Get on the horn to the 45th Recon Wing and see what they"re testing up there." "Do you have test operations in restricted area 2508?" "Air East 31, roger." "The traffic is luminous and exhibiting non-ballistic motion." "Roger." "Continue descent at your discretion." "Okay, Center." "Descent at pilot's discretion is approved." "The traffic is approaching head-on, ultra-bright and really moving." "And right by us!" "Right now!" "Now that was really close." "Air East 31 is out of 340..." "Ask if they want to report officially." "TWA 51 7, do you want to report a UFO?" "Over." "TWA 51 7, do you want to report a UFO?" "Over." "Negative." "We don't want to report." "Air East 31, do you wish to report a UFO?" "Over." "Negative." "We don't want to report one either." "Air East 31, do you wish to file a report of any kind?" "Over." "I wouldn't know what kind of report to file, Center." "Air East 31, me neither." "I"ll try to track traffic to destination, over." "Barry?" "Honey?" "Barry!" "Dad, do my problems for me." "I don"t have to do your problems for you." "You do your problems for you." "That"s why I graduated, so I don"t have to do problems." "I don"t understand these fractions." "All right." "What"s one-third of 60?" "That"s a fraction." "I don"t understand it." "All right, look." "Let"s say that this boxcar is 60 feet long." "And one-third is across this switch here." "And now another train is coming." "How far do you have to move this boxcar off the track so that the other train doesn"t smash it?" "Quickly, Brad, there are thousands of lives at stake." "Brad, any answer." "Remember last weekend you promised everybody a movie this weekend?" "Honey?" "And you also promised Goofy Golf." "Roy, what is all this stuff on my table?" "I thought I told you this was for my stuff." "I mean, you can have that table." "I don"t want this on my table." "This can cause tetanus!" " What is this?" "!" " You know what"s playing?" "Pinocchio!" "The kids have never seen Pinocchio." "You guys have never seen it." "You"ll love it." "I don"t believe this." "Who wants to go see some dumb cartoon rated G for kids?" " How old are you?" " Eight." " You want to be 9?" " Yeah." "Then you"re gonna see Pinocchio tomorrow night." "That"s a wonderful way to win over your children." "I"m not serious." "L"m just saying that I grew up with Pinocchio." "And if kids are still kids, they"re gonna eat it up." "Okay, I"m wrong." "I"m Wrong Roy, all right?" "Toby!" "You are close to death!" "Come out here!" "I"ll give you your choice." "I"m not gonna be biased in any way." "You can either play Goofy Golf, which means a lot of waiting and pushing or you can see Pinocchio which is a lot of furry animals and magic and a wonderful time." " Now, let"s vote." " Golf!" "All right, everybody to bed!" "No way!" "Dad said we could finish watching The Ten Commandments!" "Roy, that movie is four hours long." "I told them they"d watch only five commandments." "Hi, Ronnie, it's Earl." "We got a big problem." "I need your old man in the field." "Roy can"t drive at night without me." "We're experiencing an overall outage!" "Wait, I can"t..." "Honey!" "Jiminy Cricket." "It"s Earl on the phone." "Neary." "Get into your truck and report to line N in Tolono." "We're losing power across the grid." "Has the outage hit you yet?" "Hey!" "Lights!" "Barry!" "Help!" "L"m lost." "You"re gonna cough up a little Tolono, right?" "Cough up Tolono on Interstate Highway 90." "A little familiar landmark of some sort." " Cornbread Road, south of 20." " Cornbread?" "Power must have been restored." "Couple hundred neighbors think it's Saturday night." "Dispatch, this is 41 1." "Do you want me to disregard that Tolono call?" "You"re in the middle of the road, jackass!" "Can you tell me where Cornbread is?" "Turkey!" "834... 834..." "F-27." "M-Mary-1 0 through M-Mary-1 2." "Okay." "Stoppage in the single circuits will lead you right to nowhere." "M-Mary-1 0." "Oh, shit!" "What do you guys got out there?" "I don't believe this!" "My God!" "It's as big as a house!" "Shaped like a barn." "This is absolutely crazy." "Just off the Telemark Expressway and east toward Harper Valley." "No!" "Watch out!" "Oh, my God!" "Lady!" "Are you okay?" "L"m sorry." "I didn"t see him." "He was in the middle of the road." "Hello!" "Here!" "What"s the matter with you?" "Barry, come back here!" "Ice cream!" "This is nuts." "Wait a minute!" "What are you guys doing?" "Hey!" "That"s Ohio!" "That"s a quarter!" "Jesus, look at those suckers." "They"re glued to the road!" "Honey, wake up!" "Ronnie, wake up!" "You"re not gonna believe what I saw!" "Don"t!" "Not now." "No, listen!" "I never would have believed it!" "There was this..." "In the cab there was this whole..." "It went..." "It was..." "There was a red whoosh that..." "Roy." "Ike called you." "And McGovern." "They want you to call." "They couldn"t reach you." "I turned the radio off." "Don"t do that." "The phone rang off the hook." "It woke Sylvia up two times already." "You"d better call them." "You know those pictures in National Geographic, the aurora borealis?" "This is better than that." "Come on!" "Come on, Ronnie, get up." " What"s wrong?" " Nothing." "I don"t know." " Get up!" " Is it an accident?" "It"s not an accident." "You wanted out of the house, right?" "Not at 4:00 in the morning." "Ronnie, I need you to see something with me." "It"s really important." "Okay." "All right." "What about the kids?" "The kids!" "L"ll get the kids." "Sylvia, we"re going on an adventure." "Toby!" "Brad!" "Come on!" "Get up." "It"s better than Goofy Golf!" "I"m going as fast as I can!" "Come on." "Hi, Mrs. Harris." "Roy, there"s Mrs. Harris." "There better be a good reason for this because it doesn"t make sense!" "All right, Roy, I really think you"ve proved your point." "You"re sunburned." "Look at you." "Honey, what is that?" "Roy, what did it look like?" "It was like an ice-cream cone." "What flavor?" "Orange." "It was orange." "It wasn"t like an ice-cream cone." "It was more like a shell." "Like a taco?" "Was it like one of those Sara Lee moon-shaped cookies?" "Those crescent cookies?" "Don"t you think I"m taking this really well?" "I remember coming to places like this just to look at each other." "Snuggle." "I don"t believe it." "I don"t believe it!" "I don"t believe it." "It"s the Cotopaxi." " Why is it here?" " Beats the shit out of me." "Is this the bathroom?" "This is not your toy to play with every time I turn around." "He looks like a 50/50 Bar." "All right, out of this house." "All of you." "Out of my house." "I"m sorry, but you"re not to play with this!" "Get out while I clean up your mess!" "Thank you very much." "I found this overnight tanning stuff." "I want you to spray it on half your face, so it"s all one color." "It makes my face look yellow." "What does this remind you of?" "Then we"ll tell everybody you fell asleep under the sun lamp on your right side." "What for?" "Dad, can I ask you a question?" "Are they for real?" "That"s what for." "No, they are not for real." "Go outside and have a hot dog, okay?" "Ronnie, don"t tell him that." "Don"t talk about this until you know what you"re talking about." "If I can"t talk about it, how will I know what"s going on?" "What?" "Mom, I believe in them." "I believe in them too." "No, you don"t." "Dad says we do." "No, he does not." "Do you, Roy?" "All I want to do is know what"s going on." "Nothing"s going on!" "It"s just one of those things." "Which things?" "Which things?" " I don"t want to hear about this." " This is very important!" "I won"t let it lay here." "I"m gonna call somebody!" "I"m not listening." "L"m not listening." "I saw something last night that I can"t explain." "I saw something last night I can"t explain." "I"m going out there again tonight." "No, you"re not." "Yes, I am." "No, you"re not." "Yes, I am." "No, you"re not." "Do they live on the moon?" "They got bases there so at night they can come through your window." "This isn"t a moonburn, goddamn it!" " You came through my window last." " You hurt me!" " You took all my covers." " Roy"s not like that." "He loves his work." "Don"t say that!" "What did he do?" "He was with us all night!" "I won"t have to go tonight." "He is not like that at all!" "Stop yelling at me!" "Can"t you tell him about this?" "Hello?" "I can"t believe it." "Roy you got fired." "They didn"t even want to talk to you." "Where were the sounds coming from?" "Where did these sounds come from?" "Tell us, please." "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." "I beg your pardon, but my English is not good too." "I want to share with you now the breakthrough that happened in India." "We think it means something." "We think it is important." "To help you learn, I am using the hand sign created by Zoltán Kodály." "Kodály developed these signs to teach music to deaf children." "Hello?" "Hi." "Hi, how are you?" "You came here too?" "Yes." "Jillian Guiler." "Roy Neary." "Sorry about what happened." " Good night!" " What?" "Look at you." "You got the same burn." "Yeah, but it"s better on you." "You got it all over at least." "I gotta tan the other side tonight." "How"s the kid?" "L"m really sorry." "I"ll be right back." "Raise your head a bit and give me a smile." "He"s a little young for a record, don"t you think?" "Weird." "I know this sounds crazy, but ever since yesterday on the road I"ve been seeing this shape." "In shaving cream and pillows..." "Damn it, I know this!" "I know what this is." "This means something." "This is important." "Here they come!" "Get the camera!" "Out of the northwest!" "It"s like Halloween for grownups." "Trick or treat." "Wait a minute!" "The patterns are:" " We received two 1 5-minute broadcasts." " Non-random signals?" "1 04 rapid pulses." "After a five-second interval, 40 pulses." "Another five-second break, and 30 pulses." "60 seconds of silence, then a new set of numbers." "40, break five." "36, break five." "Ten." " 1 04 rapid pulses." " Lord!" "Wait 60 seconds and the whole doggone thing repeats." " Where are the signals from?" " The neighborhood." "Light-travel time, roughly 7 seconds." "Well within the plane of the ecliptic." "Are these non-random signals here, 40, 36, 1 0, in response to that?" "They should be." "We"ve sent this combination out for weeks." "All we"re getting back are numbers." "This could mean the India sounds reached a dead end." "They don"t mean a thing." "There"s so much we don"t know." "How about where the signals originate?" "Excuse me." "What letter is 1 04?" "Excuse me." "Before I got paid to speak French I used to read maps." "This first number is a longitude." "Two sets of three numbers." "Degrees, minutes and seconds." "The first number has three digits, and the last two are below 60." "It"s not in the right ascension and declination on the sky." "These have to be Earth coordinates." "There"s a globe in the office." "This is what we need." "Maybe there"s a release pin underneath here." "That"s a $2500 globe!" "What are you doing?" "All right, everybody, quiet down!" "Hold it down!" "The antenna." "How dumb!" " Which way"s it pointing?" " Northeast." "That"s Wyoming." "We"ll need a geodetic survey map of Wyoming." "I want it to the square yard." "The Army has a geodetic survey map of Wyoming." "Toys!" "Toys!" "Oh, my God!" "You can come and play now." "You can come and play now." "Come in through the door." "One... two... three..." "Mom, look!" "The sun"s here!" "Oh, my God!" "Go away!" "Clean everything up!" " Mom, let me listen!" " Wait a minute!" "Mom, look!" "Come in through the door." "Barry!" "May we have a statement?" "The report you gave to the police was spectacular." "We need it for the 6:00 news." "They got him." "What?" "Is it true you"re leaving to look for your son?" " Has there been a ransom note?" " Where will you start looking?" "His name is Barry." "Where is your husband now, Mrs. Guiler?" "Are you involved in any kind of parapsychologies?" "Turn around, please." "Turn around!" "You gave the police a report." "Would you mind repeating it?" "Folks, you can go in now." "Room 3655." "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a flying saucer." "That"s the one I saw!" "I swear that"s the same one!" "It"s the one I saw!" "It"s made of pewter, made in Japan and thrown across the lawn by one of my children." "I wanted to point out that we"re not all "polished brass" about this." "And also point out that last year Americans shot more than seven billion photographs at a record of $6.6 billion for film equipment and processing." "Now, with all those shutters clicking where is the indisputable photographic evidence?" "I"ve been in the news business for a long time." "We never took a picture of a plane crash as it happened or an automobile accident and get it on the 6:00 news." "There are lots of ideas that would be fun to believe in." "Mental telepathy time travel immortality even Santa Claus." "I know it"s no fun to go home and say, "Guess what happened today?" "I was in the shopping center, and there was this bright light and I rushed outside and it was an airplane."" "Excuse me, sir." "I didn"t want to see this." "I sure wish I had." "For 1 5 years I"ve been looking for these damn silly lights in the night sky." "I"ve never found any." "I"d like to, because I believe in life elsewhere." "Why don"t you admit that the Air Force is conducting tests in the Foothills area?" "It would be easy to say yes to that." "But I"m not going to mislead you." "This is not the case." "I don"t know what you saw." "You can"t fool us by agreeing with us." "No, come on!" "I saw Bigfoot once." "1 951." "Back in Sequoia National Park." "Had a foot on her, 37 inches." "Heel to toe." "Made a sound I would not want to hear twice in my life." "I believe I"ve encountered that gentleman myself." "I was sitting on the porch, looking through the screen." "I seen this big white dot in the sky." "It turned red and blue and green." "UFOs do not represent a direct physical threat to national security." "We do not support them, and we encourage you not to." "Let"s get in touch with the forest service or we"ll end up in a wilderness area with vehicular traffic." "And that"s strictly sacred-cow stuff for those folks in Wyoming." "If this mission is fully developed I get white knuckles thinking about what might be ahead for those folks." "Your flight will be at 20:00 hours." "We have a limo that"ll take you to the heliport now." "And transportation will be provided on the other end." " I like the flash flood idea." " Where will you get the water?" "We"ll tell them one of the reservoirs is going to burst." "There"s not enough water in those reservoirs!" "Wait!" "Contaminated water affects people, crops, animals." "Disease." " Yeah, epidemic." " What kind of disease?" "A plague epidemic." "Nobody will believe a plague." " Anthrax." " Ranching country." "There are a lot of sheep in the hills." "Good, I like that." " It"ll create a panic." " But it may not evacuate everybody." "There"s always some joker who thinks he"s immune." "I need something so scary it"ll clear 300 square miles of every living Christian soul." "Help yourself." "I hate these potatoes." "There"s a dead fly in my potatoes." "It"s okay." "Well, I guess you"ve noticed something is a little strange with Dad." "It"s okay, though." "I"m still Dad." "I can"t describe it, what I"m feeling and what I"m thinking." "This means something." "This is important." "That"s not right." "It"s not right." "That"s not right." "What is it?" "It"s not fair." "Tell me." "Open the door, please." "Please." "Open this door!" "Open this door!" "I don"t think I know what"s happening to me." "Look, Roy." "What it is, is family therapy." "I mean, we all go." "We all talk." "No one is singled out." "Maybe it"s not your fault anyway." "It"s waterproof." "It still works." "Promise me you"ll go!" "You crybaby!" "You crybaby!" " You crybaby!" " Get out of here!" "Get out!" "Come on, you guys." "You crybaby!" " Be quiet!" " Stop it!" "I don"t understand it!" " Neither do I." " Get out!" "Go to your room and close the door." " Ronnie?" " Yes." "I"m really scared." "I want you to help me." "All this bullshit!" "It"s turning this house upside down!" "I just hate you!" "That"s why!" "No!" "Hold me." "Put your arms around me." "It"ll really help me." "It"ll really help me." "Listen!" "Listen!" "Don"t you see what"s happening?" "None of our friends call us anymore!" "You"re out of work!" "You don"t care!" "You"re ruining us!" "You"re ruining us!" " Ronnie, just hold on." " No!" "Hold on." "Ronnie, open the door now." "Come on." "Well, what do you know?" "It's disintegrated." "Happy birthday, you thing from another world, you." "Thank you!" "Well, I guess he's had enough." "Are you going to yell at me?" "Everything"s fine." "All this stuff is coming down." "It"s all gonna be like it was." "That's the last straw!" "Now I use my secret weapon!" "Roy, I"m sorry about last night." "Roy!" "Roy, what are you doing?" "Jesus!" "The plants are fine there!" "Can you hear me?" "Wait!" "Wait!" "What are you doing?" "You"re gonna love it!" " What do you mean?" " You"ll really love this." "Roy, what are you doing?" "Oh, Roy!" "My God!" "Come on, men!" "Dad, after this, can we throw dirt in my window?" "Stop it." "Stop." "Stop it." "Honey!" "If I don"t do this, that"s when I"m gonna need a doctor." "What are you doing?" "Stop it." "Stop." "Stop it." "Honey!" "If I don"t do this, that"s when I"m gonna need a doctor." "What are you doing?" "l got it." "What are you doing?" "I figured it out, that"s all." "Will you just listen?" "You ever look at something crazy, and then see it another way and it"s not?" "No, I haven"t." "Come on, Ronnie." "Just listen." "l don"t know what you"re doing." "Close your eyes." "Close your eyes and hold your breath, everything will be really pretty." "You"re scaring us now." "Don"t be scared." "Don"t be scared." "I feel really good." "Everything"s gonna be all right." "I haven"t felt this good in years." "Everything"s gonna be okay." "I can feel it." "Now what else?" "What else?" "Like this?" "Like this?" "Right." "Like this?" "Chicken wire." "Whatever you"re doing, it"s against the law!" "He"s putting it back, Mrs. Harris." "I"ll pay you for this." "Take it." "Take it." "I"m perfectly fine." "Let go of this fence." "Come with me." "Do you want me to hit you?" "Let go of that fence!" "Toby!" "Listen to me." "Listen to me." "Come on, right now." "We"re going." "l want to stay here!" "Let go of the fence!" "Come on." "Stay!" "Where we going?" "Where we going?" "Where are we going?" "Just get in the car." "Where are we going?" "Quietly, quickly, get in." "Get in there, Toby." "Quickly." "Dad needs some more help!" "Lock the doors!" "Dad needs some more help!" "Quiet!" "Just lock the doors." "Roll up those windows." "Dad needs some more help!" "Honey, where you going?" "What?" "Where are you going?" "Taking the kids to my sister"s." "That"s crazy." "You"re not even dressed." "What?" "You said what?" "Ronnie, wait!" "Ronnie, hold it." "Will you hold it one minute?" "Morning." "What is wrong with me today?" "Who is it, please?" "It's the mailman." "There's a package for Julie Anderson." "You can just leave it at the door!" "I can't do that." "I'm supposed to C.O.D." "And besides you and I have to have a little talk about Kim." "Like sands through the hourglass so are the Days of Our Lives." "Here comes the king Here comes the big number one" "Budweiser beer The king is second to none" "When you say Bud The king is coming" "Let's hear the call" "When you say Bud You've said it all" "When you say Bud You've said it all" "Good evening." "At the top of the news tonight, a rail disaster." "At Devil's Tower, Wyoming a trainload of dangerous chemical gas went off the rails and forced the widest area evacuation in the history of these controversial rail shipments." "Whenever you want me to." "Tomorrow is fine." "I can do other things." "I"m trying to be." "Yes, I am." "The Army and National Guard are supervising the evacuation." "I am an adult, okay?" "Even though there"s no such thing." "It was a joke!" "the danger will be over within 7 2 hours." "Ronnie, anything you want." "Anything you want, I"ll do." "For how long?" "All of you?" "No." "Ronnie, I want to talk about this in person." "This is not" " We can"t talk about this on the telephone." "Ronnie!" "Don"t hang up!" "Just don"t" "Devil's Tower, Wyoming was the first national monument erected in this country by Theodore Roosevelt in 191 5." "Thousands of civilian refugees are fleeing the area spurred by rumors that the overturned tanker cars at Walkashi Needles Junction were filled to capacity with nerve gas." "Fortunately, there have been no fatalities." "evacuate this area, which soon will become the "hot zone," depending on the prevailing winds." "This is as close to the disaster as we've been allowed to get." "due to a strong prevailing north-south wind." "Army engineers and the Wyoming National Guard are making every effort to contain the leaking toxins and evacuate an area of almost 200 square miles." "Everyone is being warned:" "Stay out of the area." "Everyone, please, stay out of the area." "thousands of others are homeless." "U.S. Army Materiel Command has issued these new area restrictions:" "All roadways north of Crowheart on Interstate 25." "All roads leading into the Grand Tetons west of Meteste." "All multilane undivided full traffic interchange railroad, local and historic stage roads south of Cody." "Why aren"t there fat lines instead of these thin ones?" "You"re going the wrong way!" "Turn back around." "Back this way." "What"s the matter with you?" "Yes, sir." "Sorry, officer." "It"s just a rental, officer." "My fault!" "My fault!" "Starting with the letter "F," as in "Frank" to the letter "J" as in "Jack" please find your way to the loading platform for immediate boarding." "You"ll be real disappointed and sorry if you don"t have an early warning system, such as a bird, a gas mask." "Why, even my dog has a gas mask." "And any of you folks are worth more than a dog." "Roy!" "I don"t care where you go, just get behind the barricade!" "Why are we here?" "The only way there is across country." "We"ll break through the fence." "Let"s go." "All right, hold on." "The police dragged the river for him." "I told them he wasn"t in the river." "He wasn"t." "Then they went around to every house within five miles looking inside backyard refrigerators." "They asked if I"d seen any strangers in the neighbourhood." "I don"t believe it"s real." "I don"t believe it"s real!" "It"s real." "Let"s get down there." "Get some gas and get down in there." "What are those?" "Look, I guarantee you." "This whole thing is a put-on." "What do you want?" "Get your hands off!" "How are you feeling?" "l feel fine!" "According to my birds, the bad air is from you guys farting around!" "Move them out!" "What"s happening?" "Where are we going?" "Where are you taking her?" "Hold it!" "Why can"t we go together?" "Watch your step." "We have very little time, Mr. Neary." "This is Mr. Lacombe." "We need answers from you that are honest, direct and to the point." "Where is Jillian?" "Do you realize the danger you and your friend have risked?" "In coming here, you"ve exposed yourself to toxic gas." "Well, I"m alive." "We"re talking." "This is true, Mr. Neary." "But if the wind blew from the south instead of the north this conversation would not be taking place." "There"s nothing wrong with the air." "What makes you say that?" "I just know." "There"s nothing wrong with it." "Go outside and make me a liar." "I want to talk to the man in charge." "Mr. Lacombe is the highest authority." "He isn"t even an American."

"Who are you people?" "These people strangers to you?" "Yeah." "Except for her." "And the two of you felt compelled to be here?" "Yeah, you might say that." "But what did you expect to find?" "An answer." "That"s not crazy, is it?" "Hold it, hold it, hold it." "is that it?" "is that all you"re going to ask me?" "I got a couple of thousand goddamn questions."
