Elizabeth

Yep, Boccardo's pills. He eats it like candy... or used to. Take some.

Matthew

What are they?

Elizabeth

I keep seeing these people, all recognizing each other. Something is passing between them all, some secret. It's a conspiracy, I know it.

Matthew

There can't be a conspiracy!

Elizabeth

Matthew, I'm telling you something is going on here.

Matthew
[dials his phone]

I'll get the police.

Telephone Operator

Police.

Matthew

Officer, I'd like to report four bodies.

Telephone Operator

Wait right there Mr. Bennel.

Matthew

How do you know my name?

Jack

Hang up, Matthew.

Matthew
[into the phone]

I didn't tell you my name.

Jack

Hang up!

Matthew
[hangs up the phone]

I didn't tell them my name!

Nancy

That's because they're all part of it. They're all pods, all of them!

Nancy
(last lines)

Matthew?

Matthew
(loud, spine chilling scream as he points to her)
Nancy

No! Stop!

Matthew

Do you want to go see my friend David Kibner?

Elizabeth

The psychiatrist?

Matthew

Not like that. Talk to him. He would put things into perspective. -...

Elizabeth

I'm not crazy.

Matthew

No, no, no. I'm serious. He would eliminate whether Geoffrey was having an affair, or had become gay. Whether he had a social disease, or had become a Republican. All the things that could have happened to have made you feel he had changed.

Elizabeth

Matthew, we'll never be able to stop them!

Matthew

Yes, we will.

Elizabeth

We can't! Look it, they control the whole city.

Matthew

We'll find a way somehow.

Elizabeth

Oh, Matthew, I can't go on! I wanna go to sleep. I can't stay awake any more.

Matthew

You have to. You have to stay awake.
