is that-- is that the sign?

The crickets?

All right, all right...

Just-- just give me a sign

If the crickets are the sign.

No?

Okay!

All right, then I'm done with you, too.

You-- you--

Yeah?

God!

Oh, god, oh!

..."a cloud, and as the doves to their windows.

Out of weakness were made strong,

waxed valiant in fight,

turned to flight the armies of the aliens."

Helen, it's Ray!

Go away, Reverend!

Helen, listen to me very carefully.

It all makes perfect sense now.

Yes! Yes!

They're coming because god told them to.

But, no, it is not to kill us.

It's-- it's to save us.

Stan, Reverend Ray is here.

I ain't gonna go out there

and get killed by them things,

and I'll stop anyone who try to make me!

Honey, listen to what Reverend Ray has to say.

Oh, listen nothing!

Get out of here!

Move! Get out of here!

No, no, you can lie here, Stan,

under that sack of grain,

your heart filled with nothing

but doubt and fear.

It's all in here, Stan, the invasion.

-Everything.

-No, not true!

not true.

Do you remember what you told me this morning?

Not really, that was like 10 hours ago.

And a whole lotta sh*t's gone down since then.

You said they're plans for peace

and not for disaster.

To give you a future and a hope.

And that's what tonight is.

-His plan.

-He's right, stan.

Howdy, Stan.

Looking good, Stan.

Stop saying my name!

I know what you're trying to do!

It's all true, Stan, if you join us,

you will not die tonight,

I promise you this.

And I promise you this, if you don't come...

I'll stay, too.

Take-- take these things off me.

Remove the grain?

-Remove the grain.

-Remove the grain.

-Remove the grain!

-Yep.

Ziggy?

Ziggy?

What the hell are you doing?

You can't just run away from me like that!

What's wrong with you?

Is that ice-cream?

I want some.

Who's there?

Is someone there?

Ann Davison and Ziggy.

There's poison gas floating in the air.

It's coming from the north.

There's what?

Poison gas coming from the north.

Oh, no, they're already dead.

-Hello?

-No! we're still here.

Get wet rags and towels.

Wrap them around your nose and your mouth, okay?

Good luck.

What is he talking about?

Poison gas?

Peg!

Anybody seen Peg?

Peg Prickett, you guys seen Peg?

no.

What's that?

Here, I'll buy it.

Ring me up for this.

Now get over--

get that next one--

get that next one over there, too.

Peg!

Can I interest either of you in a blanket?

It's getting nippy out here.

Did good on that fire, tom.

It's working.

All right, would you gentlemen like a blanket?

There you go.

Enjoy.

Okay, here you are, sir.

Hey, Sparky.

All right.

There you go.

More.

Okay.

All right.

Enjoy.

All right, hello.

-Top drawer stew, Clark.

-Oh, thank you.

I think you missed your calling.

Do you want the rest of mine?

Oh, no, I'm fine.

I had my fill.

-Thank you very much.

-I saw you, you didn't get any.

It was fine.

Here's something. okay?

Mmm. Delicious.

Oh, Clark's famous notebook.

Oh, famous, wow.

No, it's just a to-do list and stuff I gotta get done.

Other stuff.

Like paint the rotolactor sign.

Don't you mean, "Chosen as?"

Yeah, oh, I changed it.

You know what you should put?

"Dairy-go-round.

It will work eventually."

"not milking cows since 1930."

Hey, what's that?

It looks like a poem

Oh, no, it's a poem,

No, no, it's nothing.

I'm sorry. i've-- I have--

I got a lot on my mind.

And we're behind schedule

and I don't wanna waste time

Talking about this kinda stuff, sorry.

You see.

It is something.

-No, it's not.

-Yes, it is.

-Come on.

-No.

Oh, come on.

Oh, what is it?

-Nothing.

-I don't know what's the big deal.

They're songs! okay?

It's songs.

Songs you wrote?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's songs I wrote, yeah.

Well, you see, that wasn't so hard, was it?

I'm just trying to get to know you better, Clark.

-I appreciate that.

-And forget the stew,

maybe Troubadour's your calling.

Okay.

Can I hear one?

Well, what do you want--

what do you want me

to break out into song right here?

Well, if not now, when?

Hey! how about this?

You sing one of your songs--

No, how about this--

you don't ask me about my songs,

and I don't ask why you've been with a man

who ran off to another woman tonight.

No, you're right.

It's none of my business.

Here, I'm sure that's on your list.

Get the bowls back.

-Hey, Lorraine, wait.

-I'm going to get the kids, so leave me alone.

Lorraine, I didn't mean to say that.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

I thought we were friends.

-We are friends.

-Well, then, why would you say that to me?

I'm going to get Ann and Ziggy.

If you're coming, fine, if not,

I'll see you when I see you.

Peg, I need a word with you.

I'm eating, Chardy, you're gonna have to wait.

No, I think this is more important

than you eating.

Please, follow me.

What clothes are those?

I'm--

Peg, I've been doing a lot of thinking about us

and I'm sure you have as well

and, um, the thing is, this might be our last--

This could be it for us...

Tonight.

You know, life-wise.

Therefore I'm gonna get right to it.

Um... I think we oughta get married.

-Tonight?

-Right now.

The sooner, the better.

That way when these things--

They fly over the hill, and then if they fry us

we'll be fried together, as husband and wife,

you and me, just like we planned.

Chardy, something's going on tonight

that's bigger than you and me.

-You understand?

-I understand that since you whacked your head

you've been acting like a lunatic,

and you better stop, right friggin' now.

We've had some good times together.

We sure have.

The potato sack races at Yokum pond.

And that time we rescued that raccoon that time.

It's time that we go our separate ways.

I'm sorry.

No, no, no, no.

You're gonna do what I say because that's the way

that it's supposed to be,

so we're gonna get married.

Let go.

I saw you with Sparky.

You were fooling around.

Why would you do that?

Because I wanted to.

Why?

Because I had to.

All I ever did was open my heart for you

so wide that you could crawl right in.

I will do anything for you.

I will-- I will-- I will--

I'll-- I'll-- I'll-- I'll

I'll-- I'll-- I'll-- I'll

I'll-- I'll-- I'll!

The lord has spoken and set us free

I can hear the music

and it sounds real good to me

Hallelujah hallelujah

Oh, darkness.

Darkness.

Darkness, we have been living in darkness.

But the light has been right in front of me

just waiting to shine.

The clouds have been lifted from my eyes.

They hovered and dashed, zigzagged and darted

-Across the heavens above.

-Sing it, Reverend!

My eyes have opened, and all I see is truth.

Beautiful, glorious, truthful truth.

Can you see the truth, brother?

Yes! Yes! I see it!

I see it. amen, brother.

Oh yes, amen!

Tonight is not the end.

No, no, no, no, no, no!

Tonight is just the beginning.

we are not in the path of destruction.

- Destruction

-We are in the path of salvation.

-Yes, we are!

-God's kingdom's coming to earth.
