Ryan

Oh, please! Tell me we're not risking our necks for this plant!

Jane

I wouldn't even call it a plant. It's a weed.

Neil

I wouldn't even call it a weed.

Jane

What's with her?

Ryan

What's with her and the captain?

Neil

What's with her and that stupid plant? [Jane and Ryan glare at him] What?

Aki

All right. Why do you think we've never been able to determine a relationship between the human-sized Phantoms and the giant ones roaming the wastelands?

Neil

Excuse me Doc, but… what friggin' relationship? I mean, you got your human-sized Phantoms, a-a-and your creepy, caterpillary Phantoms, and your flying Phantoms, and let's not forget my personal favorite, the big fat giant Phantoms!

Jane

Down boy!

Ryan

He's right. If you spent as much time in the field as we have, you know there is no relationship. It's like a zoo out there.

Aki

Precisely! I think the giant ones are like our whales, or elephants.

Neil

But why would an invading army bring a bunch of whales and elephants along for the ride? Unless their ship was some kind of a crazy Noah's arc.

Dr. Sid:

Hmm. W-w-we have always assumed that the meteor was intended as a form of transportation. Perhaps it wasn't.

Aki

The meteor is a chunk of their planet that got thrown into space when they destroyed their world.

Neil

But how could they survive the trip across outer space on a chunk of rock?

Aki

They didn't.

Neil

Oh. This is all beginning to make a creepy kind of sense.

Automated Announcement

Proceed to the nearest evacuation facility. Proceed to the nearest evacuation facility.

Neil

I think we should proceed to the nearest evacuation facility.

Neil
[Neil is trying to hotwire an impound tractor while Jane keeps guard]

Jane, let me ask you something. You think we're going to get out of here alive? I mean, I wonder if anyone else has gotten out. You think anyone's made it this far? Huh?

Jane

Uhhh…

Neil

You think this "Eighth Spirit" stuff is really gonna work against the Phantoms? I mean, what if it's all a bunch of mumbo jumbo? [The control panel zaps him] Ow! Jane, do you mind if we stop talking? I'm trying to concentrate here.
