Dwight:
I don't know. I found them on the floor after the Air Force guys took
Mick away.
Narrator:
The army truck arrives Air Force Base. General Kane takes Mick to a
small, cold, gray interrogation room.
Mick:
Get these handcuffs off me! I'm a law-abiding citizen.
General
Kane: Yeah, right! A law-abiding citizen who hijacks a city vehicle
and sics a Rottweiler on two city employees. Both those crimes are
felony offenses in this state.
Mick:
A felony! What do you call kidnapping a civilian and throwing him in
the back of a truck full of aliens?
General
Kane: Protecting our national security.
Private
Enns: What were you thinking, Mick? You go on the radio telling the
listeners a half-baked story about flying saucers and aliens. You
scared the daylights out of everybody.
Mick:
It's the truth!
General
Kane: No, the truth is that all you found was a weather balloon.
We're going to take you back to the radio station and this is what
you're going to tell everybody. You're going to go on the air
and
say that you started drinking early in the morning. Your wife left
you because you were losing too much money on the ranch. So you start
drowning your sorrows at Dusty's Tavern. You decided to get yourself
some attention by telling the flying saucer story.
