MRS. JONES:
What do you mean,
you're losing time?

You, like, blacking out
completely or--

I don't know-- browning out?

You don't think
it could be odorless, do you?

Or could you be, like--
I don't know-- fainting?

I used to faint kind of
all the time in college.

No, no, no,
I'm whooshing lightly.

Fainting is down.

This is up, like a-a floating.

A... a whooshing floating.

And it's happened
more than once?

It happens at regular intervals.

I'll just be going about my day,
and then I hear this music,

a short sequence of chords,

and then a kind of lightness,
a whooshing.

And then, all of a sudden,

the next thing I know,
I'm waking up.

Up there.

Up in my bedroom.

I used to think your kitchen
got better light than mine,

but now I don't think it does.

And you chose these countertops

on purpose or...?

(scoffs)
God, if I could strike a match

and burn the whole place down,
I would.

Start all over again.

Would be something to do.
Right?

Unless you think
it's a brain tumor.

You don't think?

Well, did you call someone
to take a look at it?

You know, a handyman
or whatever his name is.

What is he gonna look at?
What is there to see?

It could be odorless
and colorless.

Oh, well, what did your phone
say about it?

I just...

I need you to be here
when it happens,

to watch
and tell me what happens.

Can you do that?

My allotted fulfillment hour
is at 1:00.

Oh. Right.

Do you think I should go to
my assigned fulfillment center

at 12:30 or 12:00?

They'll probably put us
in a line, I guess.

Is yours earlier?
Yours isn't earlier.

No, I-I'm not until 4:00.

4:00? (scoffs)

How do you even begin to wait?

You don't seem excited.
Are you excited?

No. I am. I am.

But you do still want it,
don't you?

Yes, I... No.

More than anything.

Yeah.

It'll be just like
the commercials say.

"Your family's EGG
will make everything okay again,

and this time, it'll make
everything okay forever."

Don't you just wish
they'd show it to us?

You know, a peek at this thing

that's supposed
to change our lives.

Mm, it'll be so great
if it somehow helps

with Xerxes' babysitting anxiety

I don't know. I just know

It's ugly.

Ugly, no.

What if it has something to do

Oh, no.

No, no, no.

Don't include me in whatever
is happening here with you.

I just came over here
as a good neighbor to see

if there's anything
I can do to help you.

We might have
a lot of the same things,

We just woke up on my bed

My name is Janet Warren,
born Janet Davey,

July 7, 1974.

Five-six, 137 pounds.

When I was a little girl,
I got lost in an amusement park

for two hours,
but really I was hiding

in one of the backstage areas

with the mascot
character costumes.

When I was a junior
in high school,

I wanted to be
an Olympic ice skater

or a country-western singer.

But then I was none
of those things.

I'm married.
I have two children.

Two sons.

Two years ago I delivered

a stillborn baby girl.

The light in the room
was very harsh.

Very hard.

Very hard.

I hate the paint colors I chose
when we remodeled,

and I hate
the living room drapes.

I hate our cars.

I wish that I didn't have
all of the things that I have

and instead had
different things.

I'm afraid of spiders
and horses.

WARM FEMALE VOICE:
Yes, we know.

Where am I?

WARM FEMALE VOICE:
Are you comfortable?

Yes. Thank you.

Please do not make
any individualized,

threatening movements.

Threatening?

You're not afraid of me,
are you?

Are you comfortable?

Yes. Thank you.

But why are you afraid of me?

WARM FEMALE VOICE:
We are afraid of how often

you change your minds,
and so unexpectedly.

But surely you change
your mind sometimes.

Don't you?

Ours is a single shared mind.

To change it would require
the same energy needed

to reverse the flow of your
so-called Mississippi River.

One mind. That doesn't sound
very democratic.

In a democracy,
half the population

wants something different
than what they're getting.

We've seen how that can go.

You're talking about Earth.

What's left of it.

You've been watching us?

Yes.

Since first we heard
your radios.

Nineteen hundred
and forty-five,

the United States defeat Japan.

Nineteen hundred
and sixty-five,

the Beatles defeat
the son of your God, and so on.

Well, no, that's not
exactly right.

And then, in your 1950s, when
you started sending pictures,

we watched.

The trials of your kings,
the collapse of your towers.

We studied the applause
of studio audiences,

hoping it was evidence
of a single, shared mind.

You can imagine our
disappointment when we learned

it was artificial and canned,
like your diet colas.

But more than anything else,

we studied
your television commercials.

We struggled to understand

what was important to you,
what you loved.

What you wanted, what
you needed, and why, so often,

they weren't the same thing.

You have all of this
unbelievable technology,

and all you've been doing
is watching television?

Specifically,
we have been watching

your television commercials,
yes.

But we don't even watch our
television commercials anymore.

We've, I don't know, evolved.

We skip right past them.

It's true, you have evolved.

Commercials now grow
in the rich soil

of your unconscious minds.

And that matters to you?

It only matters
that humans are stopped.

But...

Okay.

But what did I ever do?

I'm not in charge
of anything, or...

any governments
or countries or...

The Kanamit understands that a
human being is most vulnerable

when it perceives
a lack of something.

All you ever did
is want something

other than
what you already had.

But that's anyone.

That's anyone around here.

That's, that's Ellen Jones,

that's Marge Stevens
from right next-door.

But your wanting
is powered by grief.

Like the great glittering
cities of your world,

we can see your wanting
from space.

My grief doesn't make
television commercials.

So you've been... monitoring us?

Watching our commercials
so you can see...

what makes us weak?

So you can what?
