- Narrator: [Opening Narration] How does a nightmare begin? For David Vincent, architect, returning home from a business trip, it began at a few minutes past four on a lost Tuesday morning, looking for a shortcut that he never found. It began with a welcoming sign that gave hope of black coffee. It began with a closed, deserted diner and a man too long without sleep to continue his journey. In the weeks to come, David Vincent would go back to how it began many times.
- Narrator: [Epilog Narration] How does a nightmare end? Not here, in the forgotten town of Kinney. Perhaps in Bakersfield. Perhaps in some undiscovered beachhead in another state or another continent. Perhaps for David Vincent, it will never end.
- Kathy Adams: Don't spend your life listening for cars that will never come, looking for faces you can never find.
- David Vincent: It's funny how a man's life can change so fast. After I saw, uh, that saucer, it seem as though I've been cut off by everything, piece by piece.
