- I´m telling you! The aliens are real!

- Climax Maple Street's residents are talking about Tommy and possible causes for all of the weird happenings when a figure begins coming into view. Charlie demands that he shoots it. When the figure drops to the ground, they realize it was just another resident, (Pete Van Horn), who went to check on the next street over. (Page 150, lines 122-160)
