Paula You seem to still be up there somewhere.
Paula I don't think I've ever seen you in this mood before.
I guess it's because I've never been in this mood before.
Paula Something about your flight?
Paula What happened, Jeff?
Paula A saucer? You mean the kind from up there?
Yeah, or its counterpart. I was shaped like a huge cigar. Dan saw it too. When it passed over, the whole compartment lighted up with a blinding glare. Then there was a tremendous wind that practically knocked us off our course.
Paula Well did you report it?
Yeah, radioed in immediately and they said well keep it quiet until you land. Then as soon as we landed, big army brass grabbed us and made us swear to secrecy about the whole thing. Oh, it burns me up. These things have been seen for years. They're here, it's a fact. And the public oughta know about it.
Paula There must be something more you can do about it.
Oh no there isn't. Oh, but what's the point of making a fuss. Last night I saw a flying object that couldn't possibly have been from this planet. But I can't say a word. I'm muzzled by army brass! I can't even admit I saw the thing!
I still think you oughta go in town and stay with your mother until I get back.
Paula This is our home and nothing's going to take me from it. Besides, most men try and keep their wives from going home to Momma.
Paula That's all the point there's going to be. Now toddle off and fly your flying machine, Darling. But if you see any more flying saucers, will you tell them to pick another house to buzz? Don't worry about me.
Oh you're the only thing I do worry about. Oh forget about the flying saucers. They're up there. But there's something in that cemetery, and that's too close for comfort.
Paula The saucers are up there. And the cemetery's out there. But I'll be locked up in there. Now off to your wild blue yonders.
You promise you'll lock the doors immediately?
Paula I promise. Besides, I'll be in bed before half an hour is gone, with your pillow beside me.
Paula Well, I have to have something to keep me company while you're away. Sometimes in the night when it does get a little lonely, I reach over and touch it, then it doesn't seem so lonely anymore.
A crazy kid. I do love you, Darlin'.
[at the cemetery]
Colonel I've been out here so often you'd think I'd taken a lease on this place.
Not a long lease, I hope.
I see what you mean. But you know, I can't help but feel the answer's out here somewhere.
Mrs. Trent you'd better stay with the car.
Paula Stay here alone? Not on your life.
Yeah, they been that way all down through the ages. Especially in a spot like this.
Now you stay close to the officer, Honey.
Paula I'd feel safer with you.
Now the Lieutenant knows best.
Paula Oh I don't like it, but I guess there isn't much I can do about it.
