Morgan: [all four member of the Hess family are in front of the tv, watching the lights from alien spaceships hover in the night sky] There are lights in over 274 cities. They think it'll be 400 within the hour. They're appearing at or within one mile of crop signs. Merrill: [referring to the crop circle in their corn field] They were for navigation. They made a map. They're going to be within a mile of us. Morgan: Dad! Graham Hess: Yes? Morgan: [quoting his new library book about aliens] I think these are stages immediately preceding an attack maneuver. I was wrong. They're hostile. Merrill: It's like War of the Worlds. TV Anchor: Ground forces have been assembled in countries throughout the globe. Hundreds of thousands have flocked to synagogues, temples, and churches. God be with us all. Graham Hess: [about how he and Merrill have been nailing boards over every opening in the house] I'm going to get back to the windows. Merrill: [Graham leaves and uncle Merill kneels beside the children] You guys okay? Morgan: Some guy had a sign saying it was the end of the world. Merrill: Don't worry. Morgan: You won't let anything happen to us, right? Merrill: No way. Morgan: I wish you were my dad. Merrill: What did you say? Don't you ever say anything like that again. Ever! [Graham covers the window with another board]
