Dialogue

[Watching the stars, suddenly a bright light appears and disappears]

Mike Tobacco: Did you see that?

Debbie Stone: Yeah I saw that! That was incredible!

Debbie Stone: We were up at "the top of the world" and we saw this shooting star and we decided to go look for it. But instead of finding the shooting star we saw this... this circus tent. And that's when we went inside, and that is when we saw those people in those... those pink, cotton candy cocoons. Dave, it was not a circus tent. It was something else.

Dave Hanson: What? What?

Mike Tobacco: It was a space ship. And there was these things, these killer clowns, and they shot popcorn at us! We barely got away!

Curtis Mooney: Killer clowns, from outer space. Holy shit!

Curtis Mooney: (above quote in TV version)Killer clowns, from outer space. Holy smoke!
