• Lieutenant John Harper : It was a saucer.

  Patrolman Larry : A flying saucer? What makes you say that?

  Lieutenant John Harper : You remember the noise we heard the other night?

  Patrolman Larry : We were knocked to the ground, how could I forget?

  Lieutenant John Harper : Exactly, but you're not remembering that sound.

  Patrolman Larry : There you're wrong, Lieutenant. I'm with a fact the sound is similar, but what about the blinding light?

  Lieutenant John Harper : Well haven't you heard? Many times a saucer hasn't had a glow, or a light of any kind for that matter.

  Patrolman Larry : That proves it! What next Lietenant?

• Lieutenant John Harper : Well, let's go down there and find out whose grave it is.

  Patrolman Kelton : How?

  Lieutenant John Harper : By going down and finding out!

  Patrolman Kelton : Are you sure you mean that, Lieutenant?

  Lieutenant John Harper : If I didn't mean it, I wouldn't have said it!

  Patrolman Larry : Scared?

  Patrolman Kelton : Well, why do I always get hooked up with these spook details? Monsters! Graves! Bodies! Oh, alright.

• Patrolman Larry : Strange. If someone had broken in, the dirt should be piled up here somewhere. It looks like it's fallen in, into the grave.

  Lieutenant John Harper : [knowing that Larry wants to be promoted from a uniform patrolman to a plain-clothes lieutenant]  Larry, you'll be out of that uniform before you know it.

• Lieutenant John Harper : She was frightened and in a state of shock. But, don't forget that torn nightgown and the scratched feet.

  Patrolman Larry : Yeah, I hadn't thought of that. Guess that's why you're a detective, Lieutenant and I'm still a uniformed cop.

  Lieutenant John Harper : Sometimes it's only the breaks, Larry.

• Patrolman Larry : [in the cemetery, at night]  What do you suppose that noise was?

  Lieutenant John Harper : Whatever it was, it's no more strange than the other things happening around this cemetery.

  Patrolman Larry : Spirits - like old Farmer Calder talked about.

  Lieutenant John Harper : [chuckles]  Heh. Maybe.

  Patrolman Larry : The only "spirits" he saw tonight were those I smelled on his breath.

  Lieutenant John Harper : Well don't forget, Mrs. Trent claims to have seen them, too. She didn't have anything on her breath.

  Patrolman Larry : She was hysterical.

  Lieutenant John Harper : Well true, she was frightened, and in a state of shock. But don't forget that torn nightgown and the scratched feet.

• Patrolman Larry : [talking about a flying saucer]  But what about the blinding light?

  Lieutenant John Harper : [matter-of-fact tone of voice, saying it like it's the most natural, obvious thing in the world]  Well, haven't you heard? Many times a saucer hasn't had a glow, or a light of any kind for that matter.
