[Sam draws out symbol seen in Sarah's former apartment]
Comic-man: Stay quiet.
Sam: What?
Comic-man: It means; "stay quiet". It's a Hobo Code.
Sam: Really?
Comic-man: Hobos and railriders used it a lot in the 1930's. Yeah, [Gets pamphlet to Sam] look. They let people know whose cool. Who wasn't. Which houses offer food. If there was a doctor in town that might be sympathetic to travellers. That sort of thing.
Sam: Okay, so, why is it in Sarah's room? And who were they telling me to be quiet?
Comic-man: I don't know. Maybe you. There's been this rash of lost-and-found signs for dogs, humans, musical instruments, over the past two years. Something really big is going on. I know it.
Sam: And you think any of this could be connected to Sarah.
Comic-man: Of course, I mean, it could be a lot of things. Sex and drug trafficking. The cult of the whale. The dog killer. I mean, lately, I just assumed that, the Owl's Kiss, has something to do with everything.
Sam: I'm not so sure about that.
Comic-man: Do you have a dollar bill on you?
Sam: I might. [Produces one and the comic-man circles on it with a pen and holds a magnifying glass]
Comic-man: Here. Take a look. That's the sign of the Owl's Kiss. Right there. On every dollar bill in this country. With every transaction, we enter a pact to live by her law. Any household that eats, lives or trades under her eyes is subject to her jurisdiction. Our world is filled with codes, pacts, user agreements, subliminal messages. [Runs and gets vintage magazines] Here. Here. Words and symbols hidden in print. Advertising. Sexual innuendo. Connected with corporations. Ideologies you assume you adopted through freewill but actually are a result of hidden messages.
Sam: Okay, so what if there were messages that aren't subliminal? But are only meant for certain people?
Comic-man: Of course. That's as common as tits and hamburgers.
