Night of the Comet Page #5

I spent the night in the back of my truck

with the girl I picked up.

- What else do you want to know?

- Skip it.

Steel's gotta be the answer.

If Sam spent the night

in the Lawn storage shed...

What?

...again, I'm an employee. I can't.

Just our way of saying

Merry Christmas to you from all of...

Testing, one, two, three, four.

This is Samantha Belmont,

one-third owner of

the Greater Los Angeles Basin, speaking.

You guys?

Hey, is anybody there?

Where did you get this,

a Dime Store?

Beats me. It was given to me.

Yeah, well, it might be all right

for date night in the barrio,

but if we run into any more

of those guys outside,

we're gonna need

a little more stopping power.

Date night in the barrio?

Here are other changes.

And here's some other changes.

Most of you guys had finals this week?

Huh, Later.

They are history. Canceled.

They're history. They're cancelled.

The legal drinking age is now 10.

But, you will need ID. Let's be real.

I'll be taking take requests from all you

teenage comet zombies on the...

Hit line!

That's 555-4487.

Get it? 555-HITS!

Do you know where the armed forces

reserve centre is at Los Alamitos?

Yeah.

My dad used to take us there

for target practice.

They store automatic weapons there.

- You know how to use them?

Come on, Hector.

The MAC-10 submachine gun

was practically designed for housewives.

I got a call!

It came in on the hit line.

- Hello?

Hello?

It went dead.

- Did they say they were okay?

I don't know.

They said they were in the desert.

- The desert? What desert was it?

- I don't know.

Sh*t! Think!

Why don't you just pull your gun

on her? Maybe you can scare it out of her!

They said they were, like, part of

a think tank or research group or something.

Where? Was it in this state?

- I forget.

- Okay. Let's take it real slow.

Did they mention a town?

Some place they were near,

like maybe Blythe, Bishop?

- What about Edwards Air Force Base?

- If I knew, I'd tell you.

I didn't expect the call, you know.

I didn't take notes or something.

Just try and remember.

If you think I'm not telling you

something on purpose...

Well, if they'll stay put,

we can get them.

...leave anything out?

From a psychological standpoint,

the radio station represents

a link to normalcy.

I don't think they'll wander far

as long as it's operating.

Dr. Carter, I'd just like to say upfront.

I'm opposed to this.

There is no reason for us to bring

those people,

or any other survivors back here.

What about the disintegration factor?

You just want to let that happen?

We don't know that

the condition is progressive.

I think we've established that, Audrey.
