"Mrs. Frenchie's cat is missing." "The signs are posted all over town:" ""Have you seen Honey?" We've all seen the posters... but nobody has seen "Honey" the cat." "Nobody... until last Thursday morning... when Ms. Colette Piscine swerved her car to miss Honey the cat while she drove across the bridge." "Well, this bridge, now slightly damaged, is a bit of a local treasure." "And even has its own fancy name:" "'Pont de flaque'" "Now, 'Colette'..." "that sounds like 'culotte'..." "That's 'panty' in French." "And 'Piscine' means "Pool"..." ""Panty Pool"" "'Flaque' also means pool in French." "So, Colette Piscine, in french 'Panty Pool', drives across the 'Pont de flaque'... or 'Pont de Pool', if you will... to avoid hitting Mrs. French's cat... that's been missing in Pontypool." "Pontypool..." "Pont de Pool..." "Panty Pool..." "Pont de flaque..." "What does it mean?" "Well, Norman Mailer, he had an interesting theory that he used to explain the strange coincidences in the aftermath of the JFK assassination:" "In the wake of huge events, after them and before them, physical details - they spasm for a moment." "They sort of unlock, and when they come back into focus, they suddenly coincide in a weird way:" "street names and birth dates and middle names... all kinds of superfluous things appear related to each other." "It's a 'ripple effect'" "So, what does it mean?" "Well, it means something's going to happen..." "Something big..." "But then, something's always about to happen." "No, no, nothing has got to do with you." "You gotta be the worst fucking agent in the world!" "Come on!" "It's not enough to say "I'm working"." "It's not enough, do you understand?" "Well, if you think it is enough, then maybe we're not thinking the same way?" "You know what I mean?" "You know what, Rick?" "You're fired!" "You're fired!" "Good." "Now we're both in the same boat..." "Oh, Jesus..." "What?" "Hey!" "Hey..." "Hey!" "Hey..." "Who are you?" "Who are you..." "Who are you..." "Who are you..." "Who are you..." "Okay Mazzy, come on boy, please." "Be positive." "Morning Mr. Mazzy." "Good morning, Laurel Ann." "I loved your 'Isn't It Ironic?" "' this morning." "Love Norman Mailer." "Thanks." "You know, it takes a girl with big feet to dig old Norm'." "So, did you give me the good stuff?" "Let's make radio!" "Laurel Ann, do me a favor..." "Look up all the information you can on 911 calls." "How many in a 24 h period, how many hang-ups..." "That sort of thing... and... thanks." "Let's make radio!" "Good morning, Pontypool." "This is Radio 660, the beacon." "Down here in the dungeon, under the street they call 'Drum'." "I'll be... banging the drum for you all morning." "I'm Grant Mazzy and as always..." "I'll be takin' no prisoners." "Now......" "I got my coffee here." "And taking a look outside..." "I'd say... that's our top story for today, folks." "Now, I had a... a strange experience on my way in to work this morning." "And I'd like to get some advise from you people later on." "When do you call 911?" "Think about it!" "I should mention, our producer, the lovely and talented Ms. Sydney Briar, is here." "And 'lucky' Laurel Ann Drummond... she'll be our technical cowgirl today." "Now, I didn't know this, maybe you did..." "but... this is news to me..." "Laurel Ann did a tour of duty in Afghanistan not too, too long ago..." "You're right, there, new guy." "Everybody does know." "She was a "Grand Master" at last year's Fall Fair." " Yesterday's news." " Hey." "I'm... sorry Laurel Ann." "I wasn't the "Grand Master", I was the "Homecoming Hero"" "I am sorry, I... okay?" "I'm very bad." "Sydney, Sydney, Sydney!" "Hey, come on, girl!" " I'm sorry!" " It's okay." "Well, you just heard an honorary apology from Sydney Briar." "She probably... owes Laurel Ann quite a few more!" "Stay tuned!" "Now, in our top story today... a big, cold, dull, dark, white... empty, neverending, 'blow-my-brains-out'... seasonal affective disorder... freaking 'kill-me-now' weather front... that'll last... all day." "Or maybe, when the wind shifts, later on... we'll get a little green-house gas relief from the industrial south." "'Hail Mary, Yea, though I walk'..." "we go to Ken Loney... in the 'Sunshine Chopper'." "It's always brighter above the clouds, Grant." "Hey, Ken, how're you doin'?" "How are things in that bird up there?" "You're gonna stay up there during the storm?" "Yes, Sir." "Yes, Siree," "Well, that can't be safe." "Is that safe, Ken?" "Well, I'll be up here, Grant, on storm watch, watching all of the routes in and around our region." " Really?" " Really, yup." "Okay, Ken." "Boy, I wouldn't wanna be a bird, if this storm hits the way it's supposed to." "Well, folks, in and outta the region..." "Don't call it bird, by the way, Grant." "And leave Ken alone!" "Go slow folks, we do have a tractor-trailer..." "I think he's just concerned." "Carrying wind generator blades... along the 4-0-1." "So, slow going east-bound." "That's it from the 'Sunshine Chopper'." "Remember drink that fruit, get's you up, keeps you going." "Thanks you, Ken Loney." "Breaking news out of Caesarea this morning..." "Come on, boy..." "There we go!" "Breaking news:" "the Ontario Provincial Police are reporting a major bust... of a significant grow operation in a quiet cul-de-sac in that town." "Constable Howard Ing says it's a sign of things to come." "These... operations in suburban small town neighborhoods... are the grow-method of choices..." "Do you smoke pot, Syd?" "Yes, I do." "Don't make global warming jokes." "What?" "I didn't make a joke, I quoted the Bible." "Ain't no jokes in the bible." "Speaking of the Bible, we are in a church, not a dungeon." "Thanking you, Constable Howard Ing, of the Ontario Provincial Police." "You know..." "Our local pot growers... are engaged in a deadly serious business." "Deadly... booby-traps... protecting their operations from prying eyes." "Land mines... have been found..." " in the backyards..." " Cool it, Grant!" "They have vicious attack dogs and enough ammunition to arm a small country!" "Now, these are family neighborhoods, folks!" "If Junior throws a ball through one of their windows... he's just liable to trigger a death squad!" "What are you doing?" "My producer says... she's talking in my ear." "Luckily you can't hear her." " Nobody cares, Grant, about your..." " Sydney says nobody cares." " Maybe she's right." " You forgot to do the closures..." " after the billboard, I need you to..." " But I think you do care, region." ""Taking no prisoners"..." "you know what that means?" "It means full disclosure," " whatever the consequences." " No, it's not 'full disclosure', Grant!" "'School closure'." "I need you to read school closures." "That's what people need!" "This is Radio 6-60, the beacon..." "Hey!" "You can't just cut me off like that!" "Jesus'..." "OK, you know, Grant, the whole 'full disclosure' schtick... works better in a bigger context." "Well, actually, this won't get me fired." "Well, there's that to." "The thing is... is that small towns, already come without prisoners." "It's called "gossip" and it's way ahead of you." "No no, Sidney, I'm not talking about gossip." "I'm talking about building a relationship with my listeners." "You know?" "Shaking 'em up..." "a little bit." "OK, we do news, weather, sports, local spots." "That's what I need you to do." "What the hell do you think you have to disclose to us anyway?" "And what it this that you think we need to hear from you?" "I don't know." "Well..." "Actually, I do know, Sidney." "I am trying to piss a few people off, because that's how it's done..." "simple as that." "You see, a pissed off listener... is wide awake listener, and he ain't gonna change the station." "In fact, he may just call his pissed off buddy, and get him to listen too." "And then, his pissed off buddy, he might call his pissed off..." "I don't know... preacher." "And that, Lady Briar, is how you build a loyal listening audience." "OK, well, I..." "That all sounds perfectly pleasant, I'm sure, okay?" "You know, Grant, you're first rate, and you're doing a first rate job... but just let me tell you something..." "Small towns, they're... they're..." "they're fiercely proud places, with... with proud people." "People who need to know if the school bus is coming." "And so, if you come in here with your 'take no prisoners' "this"... and your 'pissing everyone off' "that", people are just gonna think you're a dick!" "Okay..." "Okay." "I..." "I mean, you're going to embarrass and alienate..." "Okay, I said okay." "I'm sorry, it's just the reality." "Okay..." "Grant, I..." " I..." "I want your maziness." " Okay." "I hired your maziness." "I want the maziness." "I just need the maziness to come in a little slower, a little more 'get to know you'." "A little... a little slower." "Yeah, I get it." "I'm not stupid." "That's not what I meant." "I wanted to hear what he was gonna say." "Come on, he was just gonna talk about himself." "Okay, Pontypool, good morning." "You know, I wanna talk to you about something that has been... bugging me, all morning." "Here's my question, Pontypool." "Here... here's my story." "Now, hold on..." "I'm driving in to work today, I... and I pull up to the stop sign at Drum and Main, and... it's 6.30 in the morning, and it's cold, and it's dark... and suddenly, this woman appears outta nowhere..." "I didn't hear her, and I barely was moving my car." "Suddenly..." "she's at my passenger window." "She's babbling something but I can't..." "I can't understand her," "I can't hear her, I don't know what it is." "And then... 'poof'!" "She's gone!" "So, what do I do?" "Do I call 911?" "Who do I call?" "No one." "Our number is 519-555-3486" "Let me know what I gotta do." "Good morning." "Oh, where are you calling from?" "And what would you like to say to Grant this morning?" " I'm sorry, what?" " Has my sister called in yet?" "No." "Oh, that's weird..." "My sister never, ever, ever, misses a day." "And where's Roger?" "It's almost 10." "What are those?" "Grant gave us Valentines." "You can put them up somewhere." "You know, he... he's doing okay." "So, okay sweetheart, I'm gonna call Mrs. Tripp." "Something's coming in on the radio." "Roger, where are you?" "Yeah." "Roger that." "We still have a Code 48 in progress." "It's the fish hut." " Sydney!" "Syd!" " Code 48 in progress... requesting back-up, weapon's present, 10-4..." "Roger that." " Sandy Hook and Wilmont, Code 48." " Tell me, so what's Code 48, Laurel Ann?" "It means we have a hostage situation." " Please, stand by." " There's nothing on the wires, so I'm gonna key in right off the police radio." "Really, there's nothing on the wire?" "Okay, so let's not do anything with this yet." "Fat no, I'm not getting anything either." "Whatever you do, don't feed this in to Grant yet." "Oh, shit!" "Yeah, Grant, it's Gordon calling..." "I just wanna throw this idea out there... about the 9... the 911..." "What if you had another number, that was, I don't know, like, 912 or something, that was not for total emergencies, so if you had to..." "get in a gray area... and... you weren't sure whether you wanted to call 911, you'd call 912..." "I..." "I..." "I just have a feeling it just might catch on." "Some people might, you know... take it." "Gord, that's a great idea." "You should be running the world." "Pontypool... my Pontypool..." "We interrupt our call-in segment... to bring you breaking news out of our area this morning:" "Out on Sandy Hook and Wilmont we have a hostage situation." "Two men are holding a van load of people at gunpoint." "The van is apparently towing..." "a fishing hut." " Sporadic gunfire has been reported." " Okay, lose the story, Grant." "We're going to Ken Loney." "We're going to the 'Sunshine Chopper'." "No one knows as yet what these hostage takers want," " or whether or not, they even know..." " We know they're drunk," " the people in the van." " Grant, it's the end of ice fishing season." "But... this being the end of ice fishing season... ice hut removal time... the chances that everyone on the ice this morning is drunk, is a very distinct reality." "Drunk ice fishermen... dare I say:" "drunk policemen?" "Drunk officers of the law." "Drunk..." "Ontario Provintial Police." "It is not yet confirmed by our sources, of course." "But, police, possibly drunk, are reporting that the hostage situation has resolved itself." "They have two suspects in custody." "Both unarmed, as it turns out, and the three people they were holding have, in fact, fled the scene." "One can only hope, the Breaking News theme music... will accompany this story at some point." "There we go." "Oh, the state of drunkenness have levelled off... to acceptable levels this morning, as 'Buddy' Bob Roseland and 'Dead Eye' Derek McCormack, OPP Pontypool Division..." " Wrap it up, Grant!" " Have contained the hostage situation." "We'll be back with updates, as the situation hiccups." "We now go to Ken Loney in the 'Sunshine Chopper', for a little perspective on your morning drive." "Keep an eye out for crazy ladies in the snow, and remember:" "Wherever you're headed, get there safe!" "Come on, you gotta learn to laugh at yourself sometimes!" "The story is not funny." "Derek McCormack is an alcoholic." "Bob Roseland is an alcoholic." "They're trying to keep their jobs." "Derek's my brother-in-law." "Ex... ex-brother-in-law." "Grant..." "Ken Loney is not in a chopper." "What?" "The 'Sunshine Chopper' is Ken's Dodge Dart." "He plays sound effects." "Ken sits up on a hill, for his aerial view." "And... people are thrilled... to have him up there in the sky, flying around in his 'Sunshine Chopper', even though..." "Oh man, I bet they are." "Okay." "Okay." "Syd..." "Yeah?" "I hate winter." " Everybody does." " No, not like me." "These late winters, I feel like I'm living in the basement of the world, and it's so cold, and so dark." "Yeah... it is." "Well, you're gonna..." "it's gonna be okay." "Oh, and Grant, I..." "I'll tell you what: when the whole fish hut story gets confirmed, we'll bring it straight to you, right away, okay?" "And it's yours, even if it's not legitimate... you can do your whole..." ""take no prisoner" thing, okay?" "And you'll find it funny this time?" "I'll find it as funny as I did the last time, I'll betcha'!" "I was talking to Constable Roseland..." "he's totally serious!" "I mean, he has completely freaked!" "Something happened this morning on the ice... and it's put them on to a state..." "and now, he wants us to drop the story." "Drop it?" "Now, it's probably nothing." " And probably just a hoax," " Probably." "Anyway, so, we've got the 'Laurence of Arabia' cast coming in, so we're gonna brighten up the day with that." "Laurel Ann here." "Okay, okay." "It's Ken Loney." "Hey, Ken!" "Oh, Ken, slow down..." "Yeah." "Ken, where are you?" "Okay." "Ken, slow down." "Slow down, and..." "and how many?" "Okay, Ken, just a second." "Okay, wrap up 'Pontypool Corner', Grant." "We have a big story breaking." "Listen to me..." "Keep it hard, okay?" "Ken, just a second." "Just a second, we're going live." "We do double bill this weekend... so I'll check it out and make sure it's right, that they're both at the same time, but that's what it looks like." "We have breaking news out of our region this morning." "It appears, it seems that a large group of people have gathered... outside the offices of Dr. John Mendez." "It appears to be a protest of some kind, and officials are describing the crowd as 'unruly'." "Now, Dr. John Mendez, you may recall," "He was the... he was under investigation for writing unnecessary prescriptions." "We have an exclusive live report, from Ken Loney in the..." "in the 'Sunshine Chopper'." "What can you see there, Ken?" "Grant, I am..." "I'm watching hundreds, literally hundreds of people packed in and around this building." "And it... it looks pretty odd from up here." "They seem to be... trying to cram themselves inside..." "What's happening, Ken?" "The side of the office... this building has just burst open, it's spilling people..." "It... it..." "it just kind of exploded!" "Jesus!" "It's an explosion of... of..." "of people!" "Oh, my God!" "People are... are..." "they're getting trampled." "These people are getting killed down there!" "Ken, do you see any police?" "Is anybody trying to restore order..." "down there?" "No!" "No..." "I don't see..." "Wait... wait... wait... wait..." "There's a... convoy of trucks..." "military vehicles..." "Where did they come from?" "What the hell..." "Helicopters..." "There's a... helicopter at my 2 o'clock and one at..." "Holy shit, I gotta..." "I gotta back up outta here." "Okay, Ken..." "Ken..." "Get safe!" "Now you just..." "just try to get outta there." "The road is blocked." "There's definitely fatalities here..." "down there." "People have just died, Grant." "I..." "I don't know what the hell has just happened." "Well, we're... we're gonna have to see if we can..." " Grant..." " Ken, what?" "Ken?" "Are you there, Ken?" " We got nothing on this, Grant." " We gotta get some information... on what's clearly happening." " Christ, this is 5 km from here." " Not more than 3... 5 km from the station itself." "Don't say a lot, Grant We need to get this confirmed somehow." "Something has happened at a doctor's office, here in Pontypool, involving a possible riot." " I can't get through to the OPP." " Clearly, something has happened, here in Pontypool." "Okay, we've lost Ken." "Go to break," " go to recap, Grant!" " You heard Ken Loney describe... what he saw, or at least what he thinks he saw." "You know, the french philosopher Roland Barthes... once described trauma as a news photo without a caption." "And that, folks, is what I think we have here now." "Is Ken back?" "We're trying." "We're trying in getting Ken back, we're trying to reach the police." "Grant, we still have nothing on the wire on this entire story." "Laurel Ann and I are gonna work the phones." "We're gonna work our sources." "We gonna try and find out something solid we can put on the air." "Okay, and what do you want me to do?" "Well... "Lawrence and The Arabians" have..." "have come all this way." "Yes, hi." "You gotta be fucking kidding me." "Grant, I don't need you to be a problem right now." "But Sydney, Sydney, we got the hook, and you can't just cut the line like that!" "I just need you to do your job." "These 5 people, you're gonna interview them and then they're gonna sing a song..." "Sydney, do you really think... that this is what our audience is expecting to hear from us right now?" "So Laurel Ann and I will dig up a story on this, that we can put on the air." "Thank you." "Okay." "Okay, fine..." "let's do it!" "Let's find out how the fuck rehearsals are going in fucking Arabia!" "Come on, gang!" "Come on!" "Listen to this, Rick." "This is Lawrence of Arabia." "Something's definitely happening, we can't just leave this." "We can't go back on the air without something solid." "Laurel Ann, find me somebody I can put on the air." "Well, I've got Aline Freethy on line two." "She's hysterical, but she seems to be in the middle of things." "Okay, see if you can calm her down, see what she's got." "Why isn't there anything, anywhere, on this?" "These are prior..." "Bedouin girls." "Grant, we're trying for eye witness... we'll have somebody for you when your singers are done." "This is Osama bin Laden." "Fuck you, Rick." "Okay, now that was..." "Tony Burgess, Maureen Hinkle, Nancy Freethy," "Jay Pullman and Colin Pullman singing "The Nefud Desert"" "I can't remember how it ends, I can't remember how it ends..." "How what ends, Faraj?" "It just keeps starting over and over..." "and over and over... and it is not called 'The Lawrence and..." "the table' is it?" "No, not anymore..." "Okay, folks." "I guess that's it." "Ok, I've got Steve Van Denzen." "He's at the Mendez' office, and he's talking about a mob, or parade, or something." "He's very excited." " Have you any word from Ken?" " Nothing." "Shit!" "I'm gonna keep trying Roseland." "See if you can get any straight talk from Van Denzen." "Sydney, there's something very weird going on with our... girl Faraj there." "Ok, you were great, Grant!" "You did your job and..." "Didn't you hear?" "Yeah, I know you really wanted to stay with the story." "I needed you to buy us some time, and I appreciate it." "I really do." "So..." "I have something now, and I'm tossing it all back at you." " Okay, great!" "What do you got?" " There's still nothing... anywhere on the wire regarding this mob scene," "I've got ten eye witnesses in town." "We're going live, with Steve Van Denzen." "That's great!" " Fuck the wire if we've got eyes!" " Okay, keep it hot, Grant!" "Girl, you got it!" "Hit me!" "Any word from Ken?" "Nothing." "Welcome back, folks... to our developing story... where it appears that hundreds of people have been involved in a riot, in and around the offices of Dr. John Mendez." "You heard our own Ken Loney describe the violent scene." "We now go t..." "live, to eye witness Steve Van Denzen." "Steve?" "Steve?" "Steve Van Denzen?" "Okay, I..." "I'm afraid we've lost the signal from..." "Steve Van Denzen." "We'll try and return to him later, but... we have just had a report from a Pontypool resident, that confirms... indeed, a mob was spotted, earlier today... headed through town, headed toward the offices of Dr. John Mendez." "Apparently they were moving..." "And... they... they..." " we're still waiting to learn exactly..." " Shit, I've lost my eye witness!" "What motivated this crowd, this... this mob..." " to organize in a seemingly..." " Grant..." " spontaneous, fashion." " I think people are fucking with us." "You know, it's..." "it's very difficult... at this moment, to get a fix on what has happened, but clearly..." "Well, you heard our own reporter Ken Loney earlier..." "I don't know, Grant." "I don't know, we can't get Ken back on the line." " We are still trying to, get..." " This is completely..." " Ken back on the line." " Fucked!" "I don't know what's going on!" "C.L.S.Y." "Can you slow down?" "I can't understand what..." " C.L.S.Y.?" " Okay, hello?" "We have also learned that some of the perpetrators are speaking in bizarre ways." "They're babbling in ways that no one understands... and we don't know if this is a way of... of, trying to terrorize people?" "We don't know." "Hello, C.L.S.Y." "I'm sorry, what did you say?" "We still do not have an official version of these events..." " Okay, sounds good." " But it has been reported..." " that up to 75 people are dead." " Sounds honest." " It is honest." " And..." " at least twice that number are injured." " I've CBC and CFRB on the line, wanting to talk to you." "We now take you to Constable Bob Roseland, of the Pontypool unit of the OPP." "He's on the line, live." "Constable Roseland, what's happening out there?" "At 7 o'clock this morning our officers answered a 911 call, to the Golden Dawn facility, to discover a large number of people occupying the building." "They seemed to be trying to get into the elderly woman's room... and this woman has since died, from incidental injury..." " Grant, apparently these people were..." " as a result of people..." " chanting something, a little creepy..." " piling into her room." " Chanting something..." " And what where they saying?" "They were repeated things this woman was saying." "She's all senile, so she's babbling about Hitler... and some hurricane..." " Crazy talk." "Get off, Grant!" " That killed her mother and father..." "Okay, thank you, Constable Roseland." "Now, we are also hearing..." "about a herd..." "Well, that's how it's been described:" "a herd of people... near the edge of the forest near Highway 26, in Edenvale." "Where is Edenvale, Sydney?" "That's northwest." "Now, Edenvale is northwest of us." "And, also, between here and there," " in Phelpston, a couple..." " Please, keep holding." "Thank you." "With their 2 young children had been trapped in their car, under a mountain..." " A mountain of people..." " Okay." "Apparently, Grant, I'm being told... by Rachel Jones, that these people were..." " Now, this sounds strange, folks..." " imitating windshield wipers." " But this what's being reported to us." " Making the sound of windshield wipers." "The police say they haven't been able to,...actually see the car in over an hour." " Can I put your call on hold for a sec?" " They sound like bugs." " Sydney, I've got BBC World on the line." " BBC?" "There are a growing number of eye witness accounts, but we still have had nothing official." "No, no press conference, has been held," " and we have no official statement." " Grant," "I've got Nigel Healing for you." "What?" "Yes, Nigel Healing from the BBC." "Don't talk to me, talk to him." "Listen!" "It's our air, their air, they wanna go live." "Let's just do it!" "We're talking to Grant Mazzy, the news radio anchor from Pontypool, Ontario in Canada, who broke this story." "Mr. Mazzy, are you there?" " Grant!" " Yes, Nigel." "Hi." "Mr. Mazzy, is it true that French-Canadian soldiers have set up road blocks... preventing people from leaving and entering your area..." " in rural Canada." " I haven't heard anything... about this, Grant." "I don't think he knows what he's talking about." "And if so, does this have anything to do with your country's history... of separatist terror groups?" "Well..." "Nigel, none of that is true." "The military, of course, is..." "is rumored to be involved, and, of course, the police are responding as we speak, but... from what we can tell there's nothing organized... nothing political... certainly not terrorist, or... or... or separatist." "But..." "Mr. Mazzy, this certainly looks like an insurgency of some kind." "Large groups of people are involved." "But, if it's not organized, as you say, and it's not political, then can you help our viewers... at home understand exactly what it is we've been reporting on?" "He's good." "Nigel, the honest truth is that no one has officially come out ahead on this." "We..." "simply do not know." "There you have it." "A series of strange riots and violent mob scenes... in rural Canada, that no one, I repeat, no one can explain." "Meanwhile, reports persist that French-Canadian riot police... have been called in to crush this insurgency." "Fuck you, Nigel!" "He knows nothing!" "Where are you?" "Okay, I'm gonna pass you through to Syd." " I've got Ken." " Ken!" "That was Nigel Healing from our affiliate station, BBC." "We now go to Ken Loney, live in the field in Pontypool." "Our reporter Ken Loney." "Ken?" "Ken?" "Are you there, Ken?" "Yes..." "Yes, I'm here." "Send someone, I'm not safe here." "Not safe where, Ken?" "Oh, don't say where he is, in case something happens... at the grain silo." "I'm near the train tracks." "It's a big silo, not the little ones." "I ran here from the entrance of the Imecan National Park." "They came after me..." "You gotta send police." "There's no contact with the police, Grant." "There's no reaching the police." "Can you tell us what happened?" "What's happening there, Ken?" "I'll tell you this..." "I just saw..." "I've seen things today that are gonna ruin the rest of my natural life, Grant... and I'm..." "I'm scared..." "I'm scared..." "Ken..." "Ken, listen to me." "It sounds like you're okay, where you are, so don't move, and you just stay there," " and we're gonna..." " They're like cannibals, some of them are naked, and... they're like dogs." "Their eyes... that look..." "it's just... startled, wild..." "Oh God, Grant!" " Okay Ken, listen..." "listen..." " No, no, no!" "You don't understand, I'm looking... through a little door, there's a little door at the base of the door... some kind a... a cat door, or something." "And I can..." "I can see the......" "Okay..." "let me move so I can see the..." "No!" "Look Out!" "Oh God, they're..." "they're pulling 2 people out of a van." "Who are they, Ken?" "Who are they?" "There's a bunch of them, they're..." "they're people, but... but they're crazy." "They're... they're pulling these 2 out of the van." "Oh, my God!" "They're... they're biting them!" "They're... actually carrying them to the ground in their mouths!" "I can't..."

"It may be... a God bug!" "Okay, Dr. Mendez, I don't even believe in UFOs, so I gotta stop you there, with that 'God bug' thing." "Oh, really?" "Well, that's really sensible, beause UFOs don't exist, but I assure you, there is a monster lose, and it's bouncing through our language, frantically trying to keep its host alive." " Is this transmission itself." " No, no, no, no, no, no..." "If... if the bug enters us, it does not enter by making contact with our eardrum." "No." "It enter us when we hear the word and we understand it." "Understand?" "It is when the word is understood, that the virus takes hold, and... it copies itself in our understanding." "Well... should we be..." "talking about this?" "What are we talking about?" "Should we be... talking at all?" "Well, to be safe - no, probably not." "Talking is risky." "And, well... talk radio is..." "high risk, so... we should stop." "But, we need to... tell people about it." "People need to know." "We have to... get this out." "Well, it's your call, Mr. Mazzy." "Let's just hope what you're getting out there... isn't going to destroy your world." "The whole world can hear you breathing." "It's fine, you're breathing." "That's your top news story!"
