He could not mount three.

I'm cooking.

I'm cooking.

I'm on a roll.

What's the matter with you?

Boom!

What's the problem?

The computer or you?

Today was everything.

It was a full -scale revolution.

Give me a job.

Terrible day.

Oy vey, what a day, what a shmir.

Hey, hey, what's my... Give me a kiss.

Is something wrong with you?

I had such a terrible day. First the
computer turns off, then the wolf

jumps off the wall, it attacks me
without provocation, then your mother

the toilet explodes, the duck I'm
cooking tries to tell me how to live my

The computer completely erased itself
when it turned off. No wonder that I

write my great American novel.

Does this mean you're too tired to go to
the country?

No, it doesn't mean that.

What did you lose?

I lost, you know, I lost another day.
What I lost was gold, golden notions

erased, smoke dreams, phantoms. What I
crave is, you know, consolation.

Oh, brother.

You know, it could be the computer
turned off for a reason.

Why would that be?

Could be... I felt that the book I'm
working on is

no good.

Why do you do that to yourself?

It was a rotten accident.

It's bad.

Give me something. Here, here, here,
here. Just give me something. You're

to need some water.

Give me something to put on it.

Here. How do you turn this off?

What's the code of 6664?

Wait, don't, don't, don't. Please,
don't. The year we were married.

The red light is on. Oh, no.

I can't remember what happened last
time.

Will you get the door?

Yes.

I'm sorry. We'll get a little.

This is a small catastrophe.

What's the matter?

What is it the matter? Will you look at
this?

Get some air in here.

Get some air in here.

Open the window over there, please.

That's it, huh? That's it. Hi, Al. It's
just food.

Food.

Really?

I'd love to run the doctor.

891 -53, Department 303. This shouldn't
happen. 23. Repeat. Here's a 23.

You've been warned before. I know. I'm
sorry.

You'll receive your summons in the mail.

This stuff is so expensive. $200.

No.

It just goes off.

Back to the station. Thank you.

Let your wife cook.

Dad, turn this thing on!

Rolls.

Rolls are there.

Give it up, Dad!

Correction for three.

Three, nine, twenty -seven, eighty -one.

I know what it is.

It's a geometric, not arithmetical, it's
geometric.

It's a birthday, it just represents it.
And it also doesn't work.

Never had an alarm here before. Ah, you
see?

You see? And that's how to make it work.

Oh, that is a big one. Here it is. Here
it is.

No,

it's in your pants.

Alex, do something. No, no, no.

No,

it's on you. No, there it is.

Just a peaceful night in the country.
We're going to go to sleep now with you.

He'll sing to you.

If you leave the room, you come right
back, and usually it's gone.

And I'm glad that this is now my room.

Say something dirty.

Come on.

Say erection. Can you say erection? I'll
never say it.

You know, what do you think he's doing,

Alex? What do you mean, what do I think
he's doing? I know what he's doing. He's

doing the old Romanian turn on. He's
saying, I think of the forest.

I think of the forest at home.

You know, it is a dark, beautiful
forest.

And she's like this. She's like this.

Neither would be only silence.

Unless you heard the wolves.

There are no wolves here.

I wonder if there are ghosts.

The house is new.

No, no, I mean the ghosts of the wolves.

The ones that have been killed.

You want to fool around?

You look good. Thanks.

It's been a nice age. I've missed you,
you old ball and chain.

What's the matter, boss?

What's the matter? There was something
here. Shake it out. Something very bad.

What? That was a nightmare.

What are you talking about? No, no, Dad.

Huh?

That was a nightmare.

They had me, Dad.

Nightmares do that, you know, sometimes.
I mean, if it didn't do that, then it

wouldn't be a nightmare. You know what I
mean? I mean, you know, whatever.

Daddies get their boys back, right?

Yeah. Come on. Do you know any songs?

Do you know any Indian hunting songs?

Do you know the old buffalo hunting
song?

Cocktails for two.

Go to sleep.

He was yelling. You didn't hear him. He
was yelling.

You were yelling? Where was I? Some bad
dream, I'll tell you. I had a bad dream,

too.

I was so sound asleep.

I wasn't asleep. You were out like a
log.

I'm sure something was after him. Some
spider, huh? Like the spider from last

night? It was real, Dad.

Worst dream you ever had.

It wasn't a dream.

I'm not surprised about you, Whit.

You ate your way through this table last
night.

I didn't think you could get up the
stairs.

Well, it's a good thing it was nothing.
No wonder I pay a fortune for all this

equipment. Some animal must have said it
all.

Well,

we saw a lot of lights last night.

Whitley has that machine finely tuned.

Huh? The mosquito could set it off.

No, really, there were a lot of lights.
It was very hard to sleep. The mosquito

set that thing off.

The light from the bathroom.

No, it was light that came in from
outside.

I can't believe you didn't see it. It
looked like day.

I thought there was a fire outside, in
fact. I came downstairs, you know, and

there was a lot. There was this light,
but then it... The

floodlights went on, or I don't know
what the...

Moon, maybe.

We were all dreaming, you know, and the
moon... We all got involved in the same

dream.

It wasn't the moon.

So was the dream.

This whole place was flooded with light
from above.

It wasn't a dream.

It was the moon.

Oh, it wasn't the moon.

And it wasn't a dream. I'm telling you
what we saw.

Why don't you have your usual huge
portion of banana cakes?

Aromatic compound.

Okay, I want to go home.

I'm sorry, I'm not angry. I can't
explain.

Vita, I want you to take us back today.

I know I did not see the moon.

I want to go home.

Alex, what's a four -letter word for an
old Italian... Take us home, Whitley!

Please forgive me.

Oh.

Um... We had a really rough night.

Are you kidding?

I don't know why we're doing this. Why?

Crazy.

Thank you for taking us home.

Fine.

We could have taken the bus, really.

There is no bus.

There's not even a bus station.

Now he looked at her, her eyes sad and
scared.

They looked so mysterious.

Blah, blah, blah, blah.

God.

This is going to be so terrible.

Another day down the toilet.

What are you doing, Whitley?

What are you doing, Whitley?

Is your video on? Are you wasting time
again, you devil?

Anybody seen my kid? Anybody seen Andy?

Have a good time?

He was okay.

Did someone say something to you?

No. Get into a fight?

No. Is that Andy in there?

Oh, yeah.

Thought it was talking to a pirate.

Everyone like your teeth?

I don't like this spaceship anymore.

It's ugly.

There were wolves in the closet, wolves
in the basement, wolves all over the

place.

They work in advertising. They sell junk
food and beer.

They eat gigantic hamburgers. And they
drink cold beers with their baseball

games on the TV and the bags of the
potato chips that are big enough to feed

horse.

They have a lot of fun.

They go to baseball games.

They have a heck of a good time. Get
dressed.

I don't feel like it.

Hold them. I'm liable to get hurt.

Come on, come on, come on. We've got ten
minutes to be over at the Greenbergs.

Andy's waiting.

Crack the whip, drive the slaves off to
another cocktail party, make them babble

about Glasnost. I've lost another day
here.

He needs you. He's oversensitive today.
He's in a funny mood.

What's the matter?

I don't know. He overreacted to
something at school. He won't talk to

girl. Here, put this on.

Take this off.

You're going as an elephant. You
promised him.

Is this the front or the rear? I don't
know.

Well, you put your gray turtleneck on.

Elephants are gray.

Put your pants on. Come on, let's go.
It's me.

How come I can't have any fun?

Well, none of the other dads have no
kids.

Here, put these on ice for me. Hey.

You can use this. It's clean.

Take care, guys.

See you later. All right. Come on, let's
go to work.

Be sure you didn't blow on this. I know,
I know.

um

Danny, say goodnight to your father.

I'm going to put our son to bed, and
then we're going to talk.

Oh, wonderful.

No, it won't be wonderful, but it's
needed.

That guy went crazy.

How old are you?

I overreacted.

What's going on, Whitley? What's
happening?

What's happened to you? I got scared.

What do you take me for?

What, do you think I don't know what you
do?

You're having problems with your
writing?

No, fine. You terrified our son tonight.

I scared myself, too.

You were frightened by a Halloween mask?

Yes.

A Halloween mask. frightened you is

am i i don't know

why would you be frightened of a rubber
mask it's like

I've got one child.

I don't need another.

You wait.

You don't say anything more about it, I
won't.

Something was here, I'm sure.

We're alone.

What you doing?

Same old thing.

Been working.

I got no idea.

God, this place doesn't matter.

How can you work here? Let me be a man.

Don't leave it that way. I like it that
way. I like my workplace with a crust.

I told you, don't touch my stuff.

You know, you used to be funny.

Yeah.

I used to be employed.

I used to be able to write. I used to be
able to do a lot of things.

Oh, my.

i i can't do anything it's like i i

can't see anything but the inside of my
own head do you want to go away or

explain it no i'm just kidding you're
not gonna do anything

Anything I can do?

Welcome to the St. Mark's Church School
Second Grade Rebels.

Andrew, that was wonderful.

Thanks a lot, Guy.

That was really wonderful. That's what I
call dishing out some Christmas spirit.

Where are we, Dad?

Andy, what do things say?

Well, we are.

We've had a great time.

But Dad's sad.

I'm having a tough time, you know, with
my writing.

That's right. Santa is coming. And, you
know, it's going to be great.

Rev

up.

Cargo all the way

let's go in another room and do it

I think I got a new dad for Christmas.

I'm the same old, you know, doodad.

I mean like you were before you got sad.

Pretty great Christmas, Santa.

You did everything.

You bought the bike.

Yes, Santa.

You bought the bike.

Was there an owl in here last night?

An owl? I thought I saw an owl.

Where?

It came in the window.

They were closed.

I'd still be here.

I guess.

Aren't you cold?

Must have been a dream.

A heck of a dream.

let me tell you some one more thing
about grizzly bears that not only do

get as big as volkswagen but they also
they can run 30 miles

an hour and they can also chase you up a
tree look at the track then

here's a big foot what i

don't feel good what Come on, Dad, let's
go. I don't

feel good. Dad, let's go.

My head hurts.

Daddy, you're okay. Now let's go.

What's the matter?

You've got a little mark there, a
little... Dad, let's go.

A bite or something, a spider bite.

Daddy, come on. Does it hurt when I
press it? Yes. Oh, I'm sorry.

Go home.

Why do you get dark like that?

A cloud passed over the moon.

What cloud? It's not a cloud. It's a
clear night. What are you talking about?

Everybody gets scared when a cloud
passes over the moon.

What's the matter with you?

Are you through?

You scared?

You really are?

I'm not scared.

What are you?

We're going to check out the house.
Something's wrong.

Oh, you're going to check out the house?
Why don't you just stay right here?

Get your butt over here in bed.

What's the matter with you?

Nobody's scared of a cloud that passed
over the moon.

It was a cloud. It's a clear night. What
are you talking about? What cloud?

There's no cloud. What are you talking
about? What cloud?

Why do you get dark like that? Nobody...
Shit.

What do you mean?

Don't look at me like that. Cut it out,
Whitley!

I mean it. This isn't funny anymore. You
got a child downstairs.

Cut it out, Whit. You come back to me.

I am so tired of this. What is wrong
with you?

Nobody gets scared like that.

I am a good woman and you have a
beautiful child downstairs. You have a

life.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

What the hell?

I think that I'll call Sam Freeman in
the morning.

I didn't know it was you.

That's all.

I didn't know.

What about this?

Is this where you had the injury?

Yeah.

It's a little red.

Two days ago, it hurt so bad I thought
my head was going to split.

Well, it's fine now.

You can get dressed.

It seems to me they came into the house
and they dragged me out in the middle of

the night.

They rob you.

The other thing.

The rectal thing, right.

It happens, you know.

Even to men.

I've been going on the notion that it
was some kind of hallucination, you

Nightmare. I speak of it, you know. I
gotta say, it feels real.

I agree.

Seems like something really happened to
you.

Big eyes.

Fish. Were they wearing dark glasses?

No, eyes, big dark eyes, like a... No,
more like an insect.

Long face, thin, not human. I don't
recall them being human.

So, what's it all about?

Midlife crisis.

No, I don't think it's a midlife crisis.

Were these grown men, were they kids?

Four or five feet, like big, thick kids.

They took me out of my own house.

Where did they take you?

I was in this, you know, smelly, small,
round room, and they're looking at me.

Is that where it happened?

Well, that's a blank, mostly.

There was this needle, though, you know,
they stuck me in the back of the head

with the needle.

That's the mark that I tried to show
you. And there is a mark there.

You told Ann about all this?

What am I supposed to tell her? What's
to say? I have to know what happened to

me before I could say something. I can't
say I'm losing my marbles suddenly out

of a clear blue sky. There's no reason
for this.

I think a psychiatrist could help you.

Where you been?

I took a walk.

What did Sam say?

Sam's fine. He sends his love.

You want some of this?

No. He's sending me to a shrinker.

Good. It's a woman who specializes in,
would you believe, rape cases.

You want something to drink? No.

Wave cases?

Remember that mark I had?

Yeah?

Well, I feel certain that I was given a
shot.

You were, um... When you, uh... I...

Wait a minute. Hold it.

Sam gave you a shot.

No.

That night, after Christmas.

The night that I... Okay, here goes.

That I saw them.

That you saw who?

Someone came for me that night.

Who came for you?

Somebody came into the house.

What? Wait a minute. What did he say?

Somebody came into the house and took
me, and they

gave me a shot in the back of my skull.

And this is ridiculous.

They were small, bluish skin, and there
were other

long, thin faces.

big eyes and this is the tough

part they did not appear to be human

I'm sorry what

Sam you know he I don't know what

what he thinks but I think I'm
hallucinating

major, maybe psychotic hallucinations.

So, that's it.

What I have been trying to say in a
nutshell.

You know what? You do this regularly to
me.

If it isn't the crystal in the sky, then
you're flying around the room.

But this is such bad material that
little

people with big eyes,

some of them are blue.

It's magazine writing.

So who's been working on your stuff?

You taking drugs?

So what is it? A girl?

Hmm?

You've come to a certain age and blah,
blah, blah?

Because you know what I think?

I think you're lying to my face.

Come on.

You guys went out and left me a little
while ago.

Oh, we just went out for a second.

I just had to get some air.

You were having an argument. You forgot.

I would never forget you.

That shit didn't get me.

And now you've... Jellybean, go to
sleep.

Mommy, is God real?

I think so.

I hope so.

But nobody knows for sure.

No.

Actually, they don't. Nobody knows.

So gross.

It was a little blue doctor.

Who were the little blue doctors?

They come to the cabin. They have big
black eyes.

They're really scary.

They said, we won't hurt you, but I
prayed for them to go away.

But they just kept shining their lights
on me. God didn't make them go away.

Can I dream Dad's dream?

I'm Janet Duffy. Hi, Anne Streeper.
Hello.

Woodley. Yes.

Sit down.

Sam and I have already talked.

You're comfortable being here together?

Sure.

Yes. Good.

A healthy sign.

So?

So Sam told you that I'm seeing small
people.

coming into my house and taking me away
and this kind of thing.

Do you drink?

Sure, but that's not it.

Drugs? When I was a kid, you know, the
usual thing, but I'm way too old for

that.

Hallucinations, flights of imagination?

Just the occasional delusion of
grandeur.

Tell me what happened to you.

What can I say? These little blue
midgets come into my house.

It's ridiculous.

They took me out of the house, and they
stuck a needle in my head, and I had

some kind of a rectal probe.

This happens when?

Day after Christmas.

Right? The 26th.

Any disturbances at all prior to this?
No.

He does worry about prowlers.

The place is isolated.

But there haven't been any actual
prowlers?

No.

Sounds and things like that. You know,
nothing that you could... No, nothing

that you could identify.

There was one weekend in October.

We had friends up, Alex and Sarah.

They saw something that scared them so
much that they left.

They saw lights. You saw them, too.

There was light all over the place.

They got so scared that they left the
next day.

And, um... But I... I have all this very

sensitive equipment.

Lights and... burglar type of things.

So you discussed it? You investigated?

We didn't.

Investigate? There was nothing to
investigate.

So what scared them? What happened?

I'm talking about it, and I have no
idea.

I have no idea.

I have no idea why I'm here.

I don't know what I'm doing, you know,
talking about this.

Uh, I saw something. They saw something.

There was a lot of light.

That's all I remember.

It seems to me that the overall
vagueness of your memory suggests that

clarify them a little bit by hypnosis.
Would you be agreeable to that?

Hypnosis?

It's a simple process.

It's sometimes very helpful in cases of
psychological trauma when people have

difficulty remembering what happened to
them.

Well, you think about that, and if you
decide to do it, You can give me a call.

Thank you.

I'd stick pins in my eyeballs before I'd
let that wacko woman fool with me. This

woman is a pro.

Sam sent you to her. Her evidence is
accepted in court.

Did you listen to her?

What do you mean, did I listen to her?
Why should I pay someone to talk to me?

Because you fired a goddamn gun at me.
I'm more anxious than her.

She should pay me.

Talk to me.

I'd rather be dead.

I'm going to tell you something.

You're going to go back in that woman's
office.

We're going to find out what's wrong
with you, and we're not going to have

marriage left.

I'm fitting up. I'm fitting.

My shoes hurt.

I'm fitting. It's, you know, lighting
up.

Crazy women.

So, what do I do?

What should I do? Where would you like
me to go?

It's best he be alone this first time.

All right.

So?

It's not exactly the electric chair.

Listen to me, Whitley. Look up at my
finger.

That's it.

Keep looking at my finger.

I'm going to count to ten as you're
falling asleep.

And when I'm finished, you'll be deeply,
deeply asleep.

One, falling asleep.

Two, falling asleep.

Three, falling asleep.

Four, falling asleep.

Five.

Falling asleep.

Whitley?

Whitley, let's go back to that first
time.

The night of October 4th. Last October
4th. What do you see?

October 4th.

Busy day.

Writing.

Cooking.

Left in the kitchen.

Alex and Farrah came. We're going to the
country.

Come in.

Yes? So we're in the car, and we're
talking, and a lot of traffic, and it's

getting dark.

We get up there, and I can't get the
security system to work because every

I touch it, it goes crazy.

And the picture's here. We go in the
house, build a fire, first fire the

and we went to bed.

What happens after you go to bed?

I wake up.

Middle of the night.

That... I don't... I don't...

Something

went past my window.

Something went past the window.

A light.

Like a light.

But... I don't want to think about that.

So... I go back to sleep.

Get out!

Away!

Get away!

Get out!

Get away!

Why me? What have I done?

This is no good. I can't do this.

Whitley, tell me what you see.

It's almost as if this figure is...

It's covered in something. It's sticking
something into my mind.

Images exploding.

The world is blowing up.

My boy is dead.

I'm not hypnotized now, am I?

I think you just came out of it.

I can't do this, Annie. What did I see?

I don't know.

I want to go home now. I can't do this.

I don't need this.

Bad dreams.

It was a bad state, but it's over.

It'll never be over, not now.

Whatever happened is in the past, and
you're fine.

You don't know. You said it.

That's true, but it's all right.

Whitley.

Whitley. Let him go. Let him work this
out.

Excuse me, I'm lost.

Can you help me? Do you know if this bus
goes to the end of the line?

You know, I can't believe this.

It's an ambush.

You, you people, you're in.

I'm telling you, you're in for one big
surprise.

Very big surprise.

You want anything else, Whit? No, thank
you.

They're all looking for you.

How'd you know?

I'm said to look here.

When they know everything, they'll go
home.

They tell you what happened?

A little.

When the doctor hypnotized me, I was
supposed to recall prowlers or

but in fact, I recall something else. I
sure do.

What?

Little blue fuckers about that big.

When I was a boy, we knew of these
things.

In the mountains, there were many mines.

Trainsmen...

People of the lower depths.

Kobolds.

You talking about munchkins?

You talking about trolls?

You talking about leprechauns? What are
you talking about? The little men are

real. They have haunted the world
forever.

You're talking about folk stuff.

I don't know.

Trolls or something.

I'm talking about something else.

We're back!

i found him how are you feeling good

i'm sorry that i got so crazy oh

don't worry about it i've been thinking
any calls no huh whitley

there's a group that meets that you
might want to join

group people who've seen the same sort
of things you have no I don't think

so. Justly, they are real.

I have a dozen patients who've all
reported seeing the same beings you saw.

No.

All right.

There is one illness, temporal lobe
epilepsy, that might cause such vivid

hallucinations. But we all saw the life.

Do we all have epilepsy?

I mean, even I heard some strange
noises.

There's a test that you can take to
determine whether you have the disease.

This is going to be just a little bit
unpleasant.

Don't move.

Stay very still now.

Don't talk.

How long does this take?

Not long. Not long.

About 45 minutes.

I would like you to do some deep
breathing exercises for me. Okay.

deeply through your mouth.

Close your eyes Open your eyes

Now that medication I gave you earlier
is going to make you take a little

nap

Test came back negative.

You do not have temporal lobe epilepsy.

Hi, Dad.

Dad, I waited and waited for you to come
home.

Help me get to sleep, Daddy.

I'm having a very hard time without you.

Without a sound.

The white camellia fell to sound the
darkness of the deep stone well.

That's a lot of pictures for a few
words.

Yep.

That's the kind of poem called Haiku.

Dad, I have a very bad problem.

What's that?

There's a skull staring at me with huge
eyes. I can see it in my head.

Did you have a bad dream?

No.

I saw little blue doctors, Dad.

And tall, thin ones, too.

Big eyes.

Were they real, Dad?

I don't know.

What do you think they are?

I don't know. They kind of scare me.

Kind of?

Well, not totally. They're ugly and that
scary, but...

soft and perfect.

Ten, falling asleep.

Deeply, deeply asleep.

Anne, let's go back in time.

Do you remember Christmas?

All right, let's go back farther.

Go back to the night that Alex and Sarah
came to the house.

Do you remember that night?

Well, it wasn't a very peaceful night go
on

The house was full

It was like a party a party I

don't think Whitley was there very much
of the time What about your son?

Painful to hear.

Oh, it's like something's happening to
him.

Whitley's going. I want to go.

I've got to go.

You're not supposed to go.

I've got to go.

You're supposed to stay in bed.

I've got to go. My baby is screaming.

And he is talking to you.

What's preventing you?

I'm out of it. I'm out of it, right? I'm
out of it. Yes, quite suddenly.

I don't know. There was somebody. There
was something.

There was somebody else.

He calls them little doctors.

Whitley, let's go back now to the night
of December 26th, the day after

Christmas. What are you having for
supper?

Goose and cranberry sauce, sweet
potatoes, Christmas leftovers.

Now go forward to later that night.

Go forward.

What happens?

I'm checking out the house.

Why?

In case there might be somebody there.

Hiding.

Who? The thing.

Did you know about those people then?

Sure.

Did you tell anyone?

I was supposed to.

I have a gun.

Why do you have a gun?

I have a gun.

I have a feeling that there might be

somebody there hiding in

the house.

I'm going to take you farther forward in
that night.

You relax.

Deep sleep.

You're going to remain calm.

What happened?

I am you.

You are me. And we are here.

I am the dreamer. You are the dreamer.

Hey, whoa, wait a minute.

What are you doing?

Please, let me go.

Awful. Terrible.

What terrible?

What they did to me.

I give up. I want to go home.

Can't wake up.

Here I am. I'm naked.

I'm naked.

I'm talking to you like you were real.

Go to hell.

Terrible.

Want to talk to Silva?

Yeah. It looks like he's gonna sing
White Christmas.

It's broken my mind.

Broken my mind.

Waking up.

I'm seeing things for my whole life.

What is it, Whit?

Three,

you're awake.

Thank you.

Now I know.

This thing has been in my life my whole
life.

I pass it on.

Now it's with my son.

I've seen them before.

In your childhood, apparently.

No, no, no. Like I'm seeing you.

I'm seeing this, like I'm seeing
everything.

Same room.

You say that there's a group?

Yes, a special group.

I'd like to introduce Ann and Whitley.

Whitley has had some very vivid
experiences.

He's a writer.

I'm not sure I'm comfortable with a
writer being here, Janet.

Yeah, the force would kick me off if
this got out.

Do the rest of you feel threatened by
his profession?

Well, it's safe that the newspapers
laugh at us. I mean, we're light

entertainment.

I'm not that kind of writer. I make it
up on a novel.

So what are you going to write about us?

A comic novel?

Wait a minute.

Whitley isn't here because he's a
writer.

He's here for the same reasons you are.

Why don't you tell us something of what
you can remember?

What I remember?

Couldn't be what happened. What I
happened, I don't know. I remember.

Monsters.

They came into my house.

The short, stocky ones?

And the coveralls are the slim, willowy
ones with the big eyes.

Thank you, partner.

What?

Who was involved with you?

What do you mean?

Oh, come on, let's cut the crap.

Which group of aliens abducted you? Bob,
we are not victims.

We are participants.

Well, I don't know about you folks, but
I am very definitely a victim.

I didn't want what happened to me. I
didn't ask for this. Wait a minute. Give

the guy a chance.

So come on, Whitley.

Which group abducted you?

Did you see a ship?

Ship? A ship.

This happened in a house in the country.

Well, do you have a circle or a
triangular scar anywhere in your body?

No. Because a lot of us are marked. You
know, I want to get back to this

participant thing.

I didn't want what they did to me. I
didn't want a rectal probe, Laurie.

Ask for it. We have to make this
experience work for us.

Otherwise, we'll live the rest of our
lives in fear.

So we get together and we talk about it.
And laugh.

Sometimes.

Well, we're all space enthusiasts, so
what the heck?

You have to make the best of it, you
know. This isn't a joke.

These beings are real.

Even if we don't know what that means.

It may sound like a cliche, but these
visitors do come in gigantic ships.

And they contact a lot of people.

And then, of course, we say it's
thunderstorms or bad dreams,

meteors, whatever. But the joke's on us.

We're the ones who are hiding.

They came to me one night in 1959.

I was lying in bed, reading a book, when
suddenly...

A group of little men in blue uniforms
walked in the room.

Short, three or four feet tall, very
round.

Their faces were... Well, I was
terrified.

And one of them put his hand on my
wrist, and it was... Clammy.

Like the skin of a frog.

And one of them said, Don't worry, it's
not you we're interested in.

We're interested in the girl child
you're carrying. Did they let you keep

No. My daughter is a wonderful woman.

And now her daughter is involved, too.

How old is she?

My granddaughter is six.

Pass it on.

The only thing to do is to face it.

Because otherwise, it's just going to
tear your life to pieces.

Believe me, I know.

At least you two have each other.

My husband did not have the experience,
and he tried to have me committed.

Now, at least he doesn't have me to
worry about anymore.

I wasn't as lucky as Lori.

She still has her daughter and her
granddaughter.

I was three months pregnant.

And my husband and I saw this huge light
outside.

We just went to sleep.

The next morning I woke up and I wasn't
pregnant anymore.

Whitley, why don't you tell us a little
bit more about what happened to you?

I think I'd like to go home.

So it's my wife and I. You know, we have
a family, too, and we have to think

about this.

Thank you.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Come back.

I wish you'd stay.

I tried hypnosis. I tried this. I tried
that. I tried this. I tried that. Now

it's not working. I have to do something
for myself.

You expect...

Things you expect answers so quickly. We
don't even know all the questions yet.

Of course, but if I was in my right
mind, I would

know that too.

There's nothing the matter with your
mind.

Be patient.

Take care.

It's your first communion.

Don't wait up for me, baby.

What are you doing?

I shot a turn.

Where are you going?

Going for a pack of cigarettes.

You don't smoke.

I must be awake.

Is that what you mean?

I must be awake.

I'm going to do a trick.

Look at this.

Empty, man.

Show them.

I have to cook them.

I want to say a few things. First, I'd
like to say season's greetings.

Then I'd like to say, keep your hands on
the table at all times.

Huh?

Boom.

Boom.

I don't want to go home.

Please let me go.

Are you old?

You've broken my mind.

I'll kill you.

Can we talk this over?

I can't wake up.

I am the dreamer.

You are the dream.

Look, the only thing that really matters
here is what I'm about to show

you.

but that's what it is.

Is there something under that? Because I
don't believe that one.

It's like a box.

A Chinese box.

You open it, there's another one inside,
there's another one inside, there's

another one there. You're not going to
let me see you, are you?

It is a Chinese box.

And you're not...

So just get that clear.

You are not going to let us see you.

That's a good idea.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

Dad!

Dad!

What are you doing up? Why aren't you in
school?

Mama needed me to help her wait for you.

We're playing war.

I'm beating the pants off her, that's
for sure.

I saw them.

You did?

Something happened.

How are you?

Dad, come here. I want to show you
something.

And it has a computer game on your
computer.

What

happened?

They danced.

What kind of dance?

The Barthanova. How do I know?

They let me know that I...

Chosen.

Something.

And... They invited me to come with
them.

Then it was morning.

They asked you to go away with him?
Yeah.

I just came home to get my stuff.

You know that mark on the back of your
head?

I'm going to give you another.

Me too, Terry. You know, it's just not
strange enough to account for.

For the facts.

If we're talking about what they know
about us, you'd have to consider that

could be sitting at home tonight
watching The Honeymooners.

Right? Ralph and Alice, like us. That's
why they picked on me.

You know what I think? What?

I don't think it matters.

Whatever it is, they know us by way of
television and things like that.

If we're talking about light years,
tonight they're watching the first

of Father Knows Better.

It would be narcissistic of us to feel
alone in the universe. People used to

think that the world was flat, you know,
it's the center of things. That

excludes the possibility of visitors.
It's really another kind of the same

of thinking.

The world is getting so small that it
would be nice to meet someone new.

I don't know, I don't know, I don't
know.

I don't know what you saw.

What does it matter? It doesn't matter.

It's just God.

You saw something extraordinary.

There are many faces of God.

Masks of God.

Our history is a response to their
presence. They might be what the face of

evolution looks like when it responds to
a conscious mind.

You know something?

It frightened me.

Because you went so far away.

Choke back.

You're different.

I think they gave you something.

I do.

I think they gave you a gift.

Better use it.

Look what I've got for you.

Mandarin pressed duck.

A beautiful bottle of Bordeaux. I'm
gonna drop that book, you know, that I'm

writing. Oh, yeah?

What are you gonna do? Drive a cab?

I'm gonna write about this.

Us.

I'm gonna write about what I know.

I like that look in your eye. I'm gonna
do it right now.

Wait.

Watch this.

Wake up. Wake up.

I got this great first chapter. Look,
look, look. Wait.

Okay.

Okay. I got this great first chapter. I
got such an idea.

Spot on. Spot on.

Wake up.

It was a huge life. Are we searching for
something?

What are we doing?

What are we doing?

Nothing.

Go back to bed.

Think it could have been a plane?

Helicopter?

It's so beautiful. You see the moon?

Go back.

Andy, wait, wait, come here.

Maybe we do have an afterlife, but not
quite the tradition suggests.

Maybe if you and I are on the Lava, the
existence of a human being

is an immature form of circling.

Amen.
