Mrs. Nathan Carl, there's something wrong with our water!
Your water's fine. Bo has this thing about her drinking water. She had it her whole life. It's like a tic people have, except it's not a tic.
Mrs. Nathan Is that right?
Mr. Nathan Thirteen!
There's a monster outside my room. Can I have a glass of water?
What's wrong with the water next to your bed?
It tastes old.
This is a very temporary solution.
How temporary?
Stop!
See, this is why we're not watching TV. People get obsessed.
Ray's truck swerved off the road, hit Colleen and then a tree, and she was pinned between the two.
What does that mean, pinned?
The truck... the truck has severed most of her lower half.
What did you say?
She won't be saved. Her body is pinned in such a way... that it's alive when it shouldn't be alive. The truck is holding her together. Now she doesn't feel much, and she's talking almost like normal. And we didn't pull the truck out, because we wanted you to come down here and be with her as long as she's awake. And that won't be very long. Father, do you understand what I've told you?
Caroline. Is this the last time I'm going to speak with my wife?
Yes it is.
So the aliens can't read our minds.
Oh! Of course.
Maybe we should say a prayer.
No.
Why not?
We're not saying a prayer.
Bo has a bad feeling.
I had a dream.
We aren't saying a prayer. Eat!
I hate you.
That's fine.
You let Mom die.
Morgan!
I am not wasting one more minute of my life on prayer. Not one more minute! Understood?
Now, we are going to enjoy this meal. No one can stop us from enjoying this meal, so ENJOY IT! Stop crying!
Graham.
Don't yell at her!
All right. Since you're all not going to eat, I'm going to try some of everything.
That's why he had asthma. It can't be luck. His lungs were closed. His lungs were closed. No poison got in. No poison got in. His lungs were closed. His lungs were closed.
Give him a second!
Daddy?
Don't touch him!
Graham!
Don't.
Dad, what happened?
Yeah. Yeah, baby, I think someone did.
Morgan, this crop stuff, it's about a bunch of nerds who never had a girlfriend in their lives. They're like thirty and they work up these little codes together, and they analyze Greek mythology, and make up secret societies where other guys who never had girlfriends before can join in. They do stupid crap like this to feel special. It's a scam. Nerds were doing it 25 years ago, new nerds are doing it again.
It's just static, Morgan.
Why can't they get girlfriends?
It's broken, Morgan. It's just gonna keep doing this. Maybe some new batteries...
You might lose the signal!
This is exactly what the nerds want...
We don't have his medicine. Don't be afraid, Morgan. We'll slow this down together. Feel my chest. Feel it moving in, and out. Breathe like me. Come on.
Stay with me. I know it hurts. Be strong, baby. It'll pass. It'll pass.
Don't do this to me again. Not again. I hate you. I hate you. [To Morgan] The fear is feeding it. Don't be afraid of what's happening. Believe it's going to pass. Believe it! Just wait. Don't be afraid. The air is coming. Believe. We don't have to be afraid. It's about to pass. Here it comes. Don't be afraid. Here comes the air. Don't be afraid, Morgan. Feel my chest. Breathe with me. Together. The air is going in our lungs. Together. We're the same. We're the same.
For the kids' protection. All they were doing was watching TV. I feel like they were getting obsessed like you said. They should be playing Furry Furry Rabbit or Tea Party or something.
What's Furry Furry Rabbit?
It's a game, isn't it?
You don't even know what that word means. (Morgan tastes it) It's not contaminated. It's just tap water, pour it in his bowl.
It tastes funny.
It does not. Besides, he licks his butt every day. I don't think he'll mind.
Hello. The police are here. I am with them. I am a police officer. I just want to talk with you. We know all about the hoax. We already took some of your friends downtown in a paddy wagon.
Just tell us your name and why you did it, and we'll give you the same deal we gave the others. Don't throw your life away, son.
Move, children! Vamanos! (the corpse like alien passes through a hedge gape a few feet away from the camera) Oh!!
Oh. That was quick, Caroline. I only called you folks two hours ago.
Old Mrs. Kendleman. Twisted her ankle, as she puts it. Diving for her life when a bunch of school kids rode down the sidewalk on skateboards. She went down to Thornton's store this morning, and started spittin' on the new skateboards. Spitting! By the time I got there, Mrs. Kendlemen had sprayed the whole damn place. And she must have had a cold, as I'm telling you, I won't eat for a week. [sighs] So, what happened to your crops?
