Judith Bellero: (Speaking of the Bifrost Alien) Someone spoke of the trembling way: a bridge between earth and heaven. When I grew up, I found it in the mythology book. Scandinavians call it the "Bifrost." I thought of this as our "Bifrost." A trembling way to what for me would be heaven--power, far-flung holdings, undiminishable authority.

Richard Bellero, Sr.: (Arguing with Judith Bellero) I spend every hour, every dollar, and every dream developing men and means that are devoted to the prevention of war. That says how much I hate war! And yet I am not sickened or enraged, even by war, as I am by a single soul like yours.

With 5-Paragraph Letter, U.N. Formally Ends War : Diplomacy: The action clears the way for U.S. troop withdrawals in southern Iraq and a peacekeeping force.

April 12, 1991 JOHN J. GOLDMAN TIMES STAFF WRITER

UNITED NATIONS — With a legalistic five-paragraph letter, the U.N. Security Council on Thursday formally ended the Persian Gulf War.

The letter stressed that Saddam Hussein's government has provided "acceptance, irrevocable and without qualifying conditions," of the council's cease-fire resolution of April 3, setting forth some of history's strictest conditions for the end of warfare.

The council's action cleared the way for massive withdrawals of U.S. troops from southern Iraq and for U.N. peacekeepers to patrol a demilitarized zone reaching six miles into Iraq and three miles into Kuwait. About 32 nations are contributing manpower to the force, which will be headed by Austrian Maj. Gen. Gunther Greindl. The first contingent of troops is expected to arrive in Kuwait city today.

Precisely at 6 p.m., after the council's 15 members had approved language of the letter, Iraq's U.N. Ambassador Abdul Amir Anbari met with Paul Noterdaeme, Belgium's ambassador and president of the Security Council this month. In a brief ceremony, Noterdaeme handed Anbari the letter.

Iraq's Foreign Minister Ahmed Hussein had agreed to the cease-fire over the weekend, and Anbari said he thought the formal letter was unnecessary. But several Security Council members, including the United States, took the position that the council should issue a formal reply.

"We felt it was better to dot all the I's and cross all the T's," said a U.S. diplomat.

The council's letter was both a historic document and a footnote to a fait accompli. An informal cease-fire between allied and Iraqi troops has been in place since March 3.

Under the terms of the resolution, Iraq agrees to scrap all its weapons of mass destruction and its missiles with a range of over 90 miles. Iraq is barred from acquiring or manufacturing nuclear weapons and must set aside a share of its oil revenues for compensation for damages suffered by the war's victims. Procedures were established to review international trade sanctions against Iraq every 60 days as Iraq's compliance with the council's conditions is monitored.

In southern Iraq during the hours before the cease-fire took effect, Iraqis claiming to be soldiers rushed to surrender to U.S. troops, hoping to escape reprisals from Hussein's military after the U.S. pullout, the Associated Press reported from the town of Safwan.

Those trying to turn themselves in begged to be taken to the safety of POW camps in Saudi Arabia.

One refugee leader said his people were so desperate they would sit in front of American tanks to prevent them from leaving.

Maj. Tom Grubbs, in charge of the camp where 11,000 Iraqis receive food, water and medical care, said the refugees were not reassured by news that the departing U.S. troops will be replaced along the Iraqi-Kuwaiti border by a U.N. peacekeeping force.

IMPOSING THE GULF CEASE-FIRE

The U.N.-imposed cease-fire taking effect in the Persian Gulf requires:

* Iraq to destroy chemical and biological weapons and ballistic missile systems.

* A trade embargo on non-food items until compliance is assured.

* An indefinite arms embargo on Iraq.

* Iraqi payments to Kuwait for damages, including environmental damage.

* A U.N. military force to monitor a demilitarized zone on the Iraq-Kuwait border.

* Recognition of 1963 border lines between Iraq and Kuwait.

The cease-fire calls for a 120-day timetable. Some significant dates:

* By April 18, Iraq must list locations, amounts and types of all chemical and biological weapons, all "nuclear weapons-usable" materials and Scuds.

* By May 3, the U.N. will create a plan to regulate Iraqi reparations payments to Kuwait from a levy on Iraqi oil revenues.

* By May 18, the U.N. will propose a commission to plan for inspecting and destroying Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.

* By June 2, the U.N. will consider guidelines to enforce the arms embargo against Iraq and will review the remaining embargo against civilian goods.

* By Aug. 1, the Security Council will review the ban on arms sales to Iraq.

EPISODE RECAP

At the Bellero manor, a laser beam shoots out into the sky from the laboratory of Richard Bellero Jr. His father Richard Sr. looks on. Meanwhile, Richard's wife Judith sees her servant, Mrs. Dame, lurking barefoot in the shadows. They go down to the wine cellar and Judith has Mrs. Dame select a bottle of wine. Satisfied, Judith goes back upstairs to the laboratory and Mrs. Dame follows.

In the laboratory, Richard Sr. excuses himself and tells his son to pass on his appreciation of the dinner. When Richard suggests that Judith would like to hear it from Richard Sr., he doesn't respond. Judith returns with the wine, offering it to Richard Sr., he leaves. Richard tells his wife that Richard Sr. is passing over him as the CEO of the Bellero company. The scientist says that it has nothing to do with blood. Once Richard goes after his father, Judith throws the bottle across the room. She looks at the laser pistol that Richard has created, then sets it back and picks up the bottle. She looks up at the larger laser projector, and Richard returns and says his father has already left. He admits that his father wasn't impressed by his projector, since it's merely existing technology that he's found a new use for. Richard Sr. said that the corporation is no longer interested in destructive weapons, and Judith wonders if it is destructive. She says that she read of the legends of the Bifrost bridge, and thought the projector would be her bridge to greater holdings. Judith assures Richard that she loves him, and he wonders if that's enough to keep her. She kisses him for a moment and then asks him to return the wine until the next time Richard Sr. comes to dinner. However, after a moment Judith tells him to have Mrs. Dame bring two glasses so that they can share a toast.

Once she's alone, Judith breaks up the laser pistol and fires it, disintegrating the bottle. As she stares at it, the projector beam latches onto something and pulls it down out of outer space. It's a pale white humanoid alien, trapped in the beam. Horrified, Judith shoots at it and crawls out the door.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Dame is polishing the glasses. Richard asks if Judith ever confides to her about Richard, and he wonders if Judith has ever dreamed of needing him. Mrs. Dame insists that Judith is loyal, and Richard wonders to who. Judith stumbles in and said that she killed the newcomer, and they all go back to the lab. The alien is there, unharmed and surrounded by a transparent field. It says that they have heard of Earth and the fear of its inhabitants. The alien believes that it is wiser to be shielded until it has acquainted itself with all of their weapons. Judith wonders who the alien it, and it says that it comes from a realm that is an amplification of light. Using a device attached to its hand, the alien drops the shield and says that it uses it to travel into non-serene universes. It offers to go, seeing that they distrust it, and Judith apologizes for her actions. She says that she accepts the alien in her limited fashion and withdraws with Mrs. Dame.

The alien tells Richard that it will stay and asks about the laser projector. He says that it is similar to the composition of his world, and Richard explains as best he can. Judith listens from the hallway and then walks away, realizing that it is her bridge to the heavens. Mrs. Dames says that the alien is a creature that can't be killed, but Judith insists that it is alive... and theirs.

Later, Richard Sr. returns. He hesitates and then goes to the door. Mrs. Dame finally answers the door and Richard Sr. says that he came to see his son. She says that she was sent to send Richard Sr. away, but he takes offense and demands to see Richard. Judith arrives and dismisses Mrs. Dame, and lets Richard Sr. in. He admits that he's never approved of her and has done his best to keep Richard from regretting his marriage. Richard Sr. will let Richard have the corporation if he leaves Judith. Judith says that Richard wants his father's love, and she wants the Bellero empire. Disgusted, Richard Sr. says that her ambition is the greatest violence he knows of, and Judith says that he lusts for a heritage. She says that he will give his son the corporation in return for the great discovery he has made, and goes back inside. After a moment, Richard Sr. drives away.

Judith goes to the lab and finds the alien there with Richard. She quietly withdraws, and the alien tells Richard that it doesn't have much time. Richard goes after his wife and she realizes that he's genuinely happy for the first time. Mrs. Dame listens from the shadows as Richard says that he's been teaching the alien everything it can absorb, and it has lo leave in an hour. Judith dismisses her husband as a fool, pointing out that they will have no evidence the alien ever existed. She says that he owns the alien, and such accidents have made men kings. Judith hugs him and tells him not to lose the opportunity. Richard realizes that people wouldn't doubt his father if he testified that he saw the alien. Judith says that Richard should call him because Richard Sr. hates her, and Richard warns that the alien might resent being exploited.

Once Richard goes to the phone, Mrs. Dame emerges from the shadows and gives a gun to Judith. She explains that it once protected her from a human monster--her husband--and Judith may need the same protection. Judith takes it and enters the lab, and the alien recreates its shield. It analyzes her eyes and wonders why she wants it to remain, and Judith asks it to stay. She wants it to stay for Richard's sake, and assures the alien that she wouldn't harm it for the world. The alien lowers the shield and asks if it will come out of her shield. Judith looks at the device, and the alien says that she lacks the prime ingredient to use the object. It tells her that it is not a weapon but an anti-weapon, and a single one could protect the entire planet. However, it would do no good unless he or one of his people were there.

Richard returns and says that his father refuses to ever come back. She tells him to beg Richard Sr. to come, or she will crawl to get him there before it's too late. Richard agrees to do it rather than see her crawl, and begs the alien to stay. Once Richard leaves, the alien says that it did not promise to stay and if it misses the moment then it will never leave. Judith says that none of them can afford to miss the moment, and shoots the alien.

Judith and Mrs. Dame take the alien's body to the wine cellar. They hide it there temporarily until later when Mrs. Dame can dig a hole in the woods. Hey hear the door open downstairs and go up, and hear Richard Sr. talking to his son. Judith goes the rest of the way and thanks Richard Sr. for coming.

Richard goes to the lab and discovers that the alien is gone, having apparently left. Judith comes in and says that it left so that Richard couldn't exploit it. Richard is relieved that he didn't tell his father about the alien, and suggests that they claim it was a ruse so that Judith would apologizes. He asks if she'll apologize, and Judith says that she'll talk to Richard Sr. and asks her husband to wait there until they come up together.

In the cellar, Mrs. Dame listens as Judith tells Richard Sr. that Richard can't bring his discovery down. Richard Sr. goes to his car, and Judith follows him. She says that Richard has created the ultimate protective device and can either give it to humanity anonymously, or as the leader of the Bellero empire. After a moment, Richard Sr. gesso back inside.

Judith goes to the cellar and pulls the device from the alien's hand. As she leaves, she's unaware that the alien's blood--the prime ingredient--is leaking from the connecting tube. In the lab, Judith gets a bit of the liquid on her hand and then tries to wipe it off. She then asks for the honor of explaining Richard's shield, the Bellero Shield. Judith then gives a gun to Richard Sr. and asks him to fire it at her point-black. When Richard objects, Judith calls Mrs. Dame in and takes the gun. Judith creates the shield and Judith fires. The bullet is unable to penetrate the shield, and Richard Sr. takes the laser gun and fires it. It is also unable to penetrate the shield, and Judith says that the man who invented the shield could save the world... and asks Richard Sr. if he wants that man to succeed him.

Richard Sr. goes to his son and apologizes for projecting his self-doubts onto him. He begs his forgiveness and asks him not to shut him out of his success. Richard yells at him to stop and runs out, and Judith says that Richard doesn't forgive easily. She agrees to convince Richard to forgive him, and Richard Sr. asks her to do so quickly because he will soon be retired due to his failing health. Mrs. Dame tells Judith to go to Richard Sr. and comfort him before she discards him. However, when Judith tries to use the device to lower the shield, nothing happens. The shield is equally impenetrable from the inside, and Judith is trapped with her air running out.

The shield is proof against any and all cutting implements that they can use. Richard is unable to bring the alien back, Richard Sr. asks to be released to get help, but Richard insists that it isn't hopeless. He doesn't want anyone to know that his wife is a thief, and says that there's no one who can come. Judith starts to tell Richard the truth, but Mrs. Dame tells her not to. Despite that, Judith bursts into hysterical laughter and says that the authorities will move heaven and earth to dig a murderess out. She admits that the alien didn't tell her how to remove the shield, and says that nothing can remove it. Richard and his father stare in horror as Judith says that she killed the alien prematurely and hid his body in the cellar. Richard Sr. goes to the cellar when he hears where the alien is.

Mrs. Dame slips away and goes to the cellar. She drags the alien to the stairs, and Richard Sr. arrives. She says that she's going to bury it, insisting that the police cannot have their proof. Richard Sr. says that it belongs to the world, and his son will give it to them. Furious, Mrs. Dame knocks him down the stairs and Richard Sr. falls, breaking his neck. He lands next to the alien... and it opens its eyes.

Judith begs Richard to let her out, insisting that she's sorry. As she asks for forgiveness and freedom, the alien staggers in with Mrs. Dame. It says that it can free Judith and goes to the shield. Using the liquid from the vein on its hand, it creates a hole in the shield, reaches through, and takes the device. The alien then reattaches the vein and lowers the shield, and then collapses dead before fading away. Mrs. Dame says that it asked the alien to help, and it wondered how it could not.

Richard goes to a sobbing Judith and offers his hand. She steps forward…z and stops. In Judith's mind, the shield is still there and nothing will ever remove it. She fumbles at the imaginary walls, the spot of the alien's blood glowing on her hand.

Up to 5,000 Marines in County Bound for Mideast : Gulf crisis: Units from El Toro and Tustin air stations will join Operation Desert Shield by midweek, according to a military spokesman in Washington.

August 13, 1990 GEORGE FRANK and KRISTINA LINDGREN TIMES STAFF WRITERS

As many as 5,000 Orange County-based Marines will be joining the stream of U.S troops converging on the Persian Gulf by midweek, a military source in Washington said Sunday.

Large numbers of fighter jets, bombers and transport planes from the El Toro Marine Corps Air Station will fly directly to join Operation Desert Shield in the Middle East, with stops for refueling.

But most of the cargo and troop-carrying helicopters from the Tustin Marine Corps Helicopter Station will be sent by ship because of the limited number of U.S. Air Force transport aircraft available to shuttle the equipment to the Persian Gulf, said the high-ranking military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

A small contingent of officers and enlisted men from El Toro, Tustin and other West Coast Marine bases have already left for the Persian Gulf to prepare for the arriving forces, which are expected to number between 3,000 and 5,000 from the Orange County bases alone. Together, the El Toro and Tustin bases are home to about 12,000 soldiers and large support staffs.

"I would say they would be leaving within the next 72 hours, but it could be a little longer," the official said Sunday afternoon. "Their departure is imminent."

The 7th Marine Expeditionary Brigade, a rapid-deployment force headquartered at the Twentynine Palms Marine Air-Ground Combat Center in San Bernardino County, has been on alert since President Bush on Tuesday ordered troops to the Middle East to defend Saudi Arabia against possible attack from Iraq.

The brigade, whose motto is "One call gets it all," includes combat ground units from Camp Pendleton and air combat forces from El Toro, Tustin, Pendleton, Yuma, Ariz., and a base in Hawaii. It can grow as large as 17,105 troops.

Officials at the several bases declined Sunday to confirm the imminent movement of troops and equipment, saying they were forbidden to discuss such details.

Soldiers and their families said they, too, were instructed not to talk about their orders, but some said Sunday that they had been placed on standby alert as early as Tuesday and have been expecting to depart for the Middle East any day.

A 26-year-old El Toro Marine sergeant said he has kissed his wife and 16-month-old daughter goodby each morning since last week, not knowing when he would see them again.

A 26-year-old woman flew from Yuma to join her husband, who had left the Arizona base suddenly Tuesday. She said it was the first time her husband had to leave without telling her where he was going.

And until he telephoned her to say that he was at El Toro and that she could visit him there, she had assumed he was already in the Middle East.

One Tustin Marine helicopter mechanic said he is on standby and has been told that he could be shipped out any time in the next week.

"I just wish they'd ship us out already if they're going to do it," he said. "It's the waiting that drives you crazy."

At Norton Air Force Base in San Bernardino County, activity was brisk Sunday. Troops could be seen loading military equipment into massive cargo aircraft.

Officials there would neither confirm nor deny reports that the base is the key Southern California "embarkation" point for transporting men and material to the Persian Gulf. But gigantic cargo carriers such as Lockheed's C-141 Starlifters could be seen lumbering in and out of the base.

Larry Schroeder, a 35-year-old Redlands man who lives near the base, said large caravans of military equipment have streamed into Norton over the weekend and that the number of departing and arriving airplanes has increased.

"Just this morning, I saw about a half-mile-long row of jeeps going in," he said.

Norton, which is home to the 63rd Military Air Wing Command and one of only two military airlift command bases in California, plays an integral part in the U.S. "capability to deliver and sustain air and ground forces anywhere in the world," Staff Sgt. Robert Pfenning, a base spokesman, said.

At the El Toro base and throughout the rows of plain cement-block military housing to the north, the imminent troop deployment is evident.

"Every time you see somebody pulling up with their cammys (camouflage outfits) on, and with a great big bag, you know where they're going," said Rachel Sweitz, 29, whose husband, Tim, is a sergeant at the base police office and not among those on standby for the gulf crisis. "I feel kind of depressed . . . just a feeling of sadness, I guess."

Military families reported more trucks rumbling through the base gates carrying equipment, and three huge passenger jets landing at the airfield in the last few days.

One reservist said he has seen several guards stationed at the El Toro base entrance carrying M-16s. Usually, a single guard is there with a handgun, he said.

The Persian Gulf crisis will be the first combat situation many of the Orange County-based Marines have ever experienced.

Up to 5,000 Marines in County Bound for Mideast : Gulf crisis: Units from El Toro and Tustin air stations will join Operation Desert Shield by midweek, according to a military spokesman in Washington.

August 13, 1990 GEORGE FRANK and KRISTINA LINDGREN TIMES STAFF WRITERS

The younger Marines in particular "are scared--everybody's scared," said a sergeant bound for the Middle East who asked not to be identified.

"We've never been in a war. Most of the people (have) never shot at a live individual," he said.

Most said they felt prepared, however inexperienced in actual combat they may be.

"We've trained in all kinds of conditions," said the Tustin helicopter mechanic. "We've trained for chemical warfare, but if people are afraid of anything, that's what it would be."

At the Twentynine Palms base exchange, a duty officer who declined to give her name told the Associated Press there was a run on desert survival knives, religious tokens like St. Christopher medals and Jewish stars, and on razors, T-shirts and underwear among soldiers on standby for the Persian Gulf crisis.

"Our problem is that we've run out of all the health and comfort items. We've been bombarded," she said. "We've begged, borrowed or stolen from other bases."

Not all the aircraft stationed at El Toro, Tustin, Camp Pendleton and Yuma will be sent to the Middle East because of standing commitments in the Pacific.

Some F/A-18 Hornets, A-6E Intruders and C-130 transport aircraft from El Toro will fly to the Persian Gulf area along with highly maneuverable Harrier jets from Yuma and fixed-wing observation planes from Camp Pendleton.

Most helicopters from Tustin will be flown to platform ships anchored off the Orange County coast for transport to the Middle East. The largest platform ships are capable of carrying 24 helicopters on their decks.

"It may not be that fast by sea but it will take less time than if all the helicopters had to be flown there. There are just so many capable transport planes available," the military official said.

Personnel from El Toro and Tustin could leave from Norton or from El Toro, or a combination. And some "could be flown by commercial charters if the command feels they are needed right away," the source said.

The chief task of helicopters in the Persian Gulf conflict will be to move cargo--beans and bullets--as well as troops.

Smaller, well-armed Cobra helicopters could be used to hunt down and destroy tanks.

The F/A-18 fighter jet is used in air-to-air and air-to-ground combat, while the Harriers, which are capable of near vertical takeoffs, are used for close-in support of ground troops. The A-6E, meanwhile, is a longer range bomber that is capable of carrying 26 500-pound bombs.

Times staff writers Marla Cone, George Frank, Kristina Lindgren and Rose Ellen O'Connor reported from Orange County. Staff writer Matt Lait reported from San Bernardino.

TROOPS AT SOUTHLAND BASES MOBILIZE

Five Southern California bases are mobilizing troops and equipment for a coordinated deployment to the Persian Gulf. The forces are part of the 7th Marine Expeditionary Brigade, a 17,000-soldier rapid deployment force that combines air, land, naval and amphibious units. An estimated 3,000 to 5,000 Marines from El Toro and Tustin are reportedly committed to the Middle East deployment, known as Operation Desert Shield.

Peace Will Reign Over Hollywood Parade for GIs : Television: KTLA, responding to complaints, won't charge competing stations $250,000 to broadcast the homecoming event for Gulf War troops.

April 11, 1991 JOSH MEYER TIMES STAFF WRITER

A Hollywood television station, responding to complaints that it obtained a sweetheart deal with the city of Los Angeles allowing it to profit exclusively from the city's official homecoming parade for Persian Gulf War troops, has decided to allow its competitors to televise the parade for free.

"Regrettably, in recent days, the focus has shifted from the parade itself to the controversy over who should carry it," Steve Bell, general manager of A Channel 5, said in a statement issued this week. "We need to put the focus back where it belongs--on the parade and the troops returning from the Persian Gulf."

On Tuesday, KTLA announced its decision to drop its requirements that competing stations pay $250,000 to televise the "Welcome Home Desert Storm Parade" and agree not to break for commercials. It said it was doing so "in response to the enormous interest" in the May 19 event, which will be jointly presented by the city and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.

Johnny Grant, whose connections to KTLA and the Hollywood chamber helped fuel the controversy, said the about-face came in part as a result of reports in The Times and the Los Angeles Business Journal about the station's deal with the city and chamber. Those reports, Grant said, have made it impossible for him to organize the parade.

"I'm just glad the thing has been resolved," said Grant, who is a vice president at KTLA and a board member of the chamber, which approved the exclusive agreement. "Now I can get back to putting on the most spectacular welcome home parade in America."

In a letter to all Los Angeles television station managers, Grant said he hoped they would voluntarily contribute some money to help defray the "substantial costs necessary in staging an event of this magnitude." So far, KTLA and several other corporations have contributed more than $550,000 for the event, and the city has agreed to provide police, traffic and cleanup service at no cost to parade organizers.

Grant said no other station has come forward with plans to televise the event--not even the station that complained about being shut out in the first place, KNBC Channel 4.

KNBC officials said it is too early to tell whether they will televise the event. The parade, which has Bob Hope and Jimmy Stewart as honorary co-chairmen, will feature returning troops, veterans of other wars, celebrities, floats, marching bands, and an array of weaponry new and old. The parade will loop through Hollywood along Hollywood and Sunset boulevards.

"We're very appreciative for the opportunity to participate in this community celebration," said KNBC General Manager John Rohrbeck. "As soon as we've had the opportunity to study this and determine what the possibilities are for our coverage, we will announce our plans."

Regina Miyamoto, a spokeswoman for KNBC, said Mayor Tom Bradley and his aides engineered KTLA's compromise offer. She said Deputy Mayor Mark Fabiani called the station personally to "let us know the restrictions had been waived."

Bradley spokesman Bill Chandler confirmed that the mayor and his aides had talked with representatives of both stations in an effort to settle the dispute.

"We certainly made our concerns clear," Chandler said. "The mayor didn't want anything to bring a cloud over the parade. He wanted it to be enjoyed by as many people as possible."

At the Chamber of Commerce, Christopher Baumgart, newly elected chairman of the board, said he was "glad to see the TV stations working together on this. The parade should not be weighted down by distractions."

KTLA, and the chamber and mayor's office, became targets of criticism after the three worked out an agreement giving KTLA exclusive permission to sponsor, televise and nationally syndicate the Hollywood parade.

KTLA won the rights without having to compete against other local stations, even though the chamber and the city are sponsoring it and taxpayers are helping foot the bill, according to KTLA and city officials.

KNBC complained about the deal to Bradley, who is a co-chairman of the parade, saying the city's endorsement of the parade and its pledge to provide city services for free to such a profit-making venture was very inappropriate.

After meeting with representatives of the two stations, Bradley suggested a compromise in which other stations could televise the two-hour event locally, but only if they matched KTLA's payment of $250,000 to parade organizers to help defray expenses, and if they agreed not to break for commercials.

KNBC rejected Bradley's proposal to buy its way into the parade, saying federal regulations prohibited it, as a network-owned station, from profiting from syndication, potentially the most lucrative aspect of the parade. Such a course is open only to independent stations such as KTLA, KNBC officials said.

KTLA had defended its attempts to charge other stations to participate, saying Grant thought of the idea. Also, the station planned to spend at least $650,000 in coordinating the event, KTLA spokesman Ed Harrison said.

Quotes


Roy Neary: Is that it? Is that all you're gonna ask me? Well I got a couple of thousand goddamn questions, you know. I want to speak to someone in charge. I want to lodge a complaint. You have no right to make people crazy! You think I investigate every Walter Cronkite story there is? Huh? If this is just nerve gas, how come I know everything in such detail? I've never been here before. How come I know so much? What the hell is going on around here? Who the hell are you people?
