Dr. Okun: As you can see from the repairs, we've been trying to put her back together since the late 1960s. Don't tell me you've had this for 40 years, and you don't know anything about them? Oh, hell, no. No, no. We know tons about them. But the neatest stuff-- the neatest stuff has only happened in the last few days. See, we can't duplicate their type of power, so we've never been able to experiment. But since these guys started showing up, all the little gizmos inside turned on. The last 2 4 hours have been really exciting. Exciting? People are dying out there. I don't think " exciting" is the word I'd choose to describe it. You guys are hoping to fly this thing, huh? You said you can repair their technology. Can you tell us anything useful about them? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, they're not all that dissimilar from us. Breathes oxygen. Comparable tolerances to heat, cold. Probably why they're interested in our planet. Hey. Hey.

We have confirmed reports of combat-ready divisions in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. That's impressive, considering it's all being done with, uh... Morse code. Are our forces here? We have sufficient aircraft for the battle plan, but... But what, General? Pilots are coming up short. Well, then find 'em. TV: Ham radio operators from New York toJapan trade rumors of military forces in hiding, unwilling to reveal themselves for fear of annihilation...

P.A.: What we're planning at this time is to launch a counteroffensive. However, with our depleted manpower, we're asking that anyone with any flight experience come forward. Military training is preferable, but anyone who can fly a plane would be useful. I can fly. I'm a pilot.

You don't mind? Well, I mean, uh... We'll have to let all my other girlfriends know that they can't come over, you know, and got to postpone a little freaky-deaky. There you go. There he goes, thinking you all that. But you are not as charming as you think you are, sir. Yes, I am. Them big ol' Dumbo ears. Well, look at you with them chicken legs. Baw-caw.

George Putnam: The visitors responded with terrifying... Radio: Authorities have called for a complete evacuation of Los Angeles County. People are advised to avoid the highways wherever possible. Oh, yeah. Great. Now he tells me.
