Adam: [Adam is with his parents at the new house] Dad, I don't know how to tell you this. And I was going to wait a while, but I think... Dad, there was no bomb. A plane crashed into our backyard. I looked it up in old newspapers. Calvin: You're sure? Adam: Positive. The Soviet Union collapsed without a shot being fired. The Cold War is over. Calvin: That's what everybody believes? Adam: Yes, sir. It's true. Calvin: What? Did the politburo just one day say, "We give up?" Adam: Yes. That's kind of how it was. Calvin: Uh-huh. Calvin: My gosh, those Commies are brilliant! You've got to hand it to 'em! "No, we didn't drop any bombs! Oh yes, our evil empire has collapsed! Poor, poor us!" I bet they've even asked the West for aid! Right? Adam: Uh, I think they have. Calvin: Hah! Those cagey rascals! Those sly dissemblers! Those, uh... They've finally pulled the wool over everybody's eyes!
