Transcript

In 1977, Voyager 2 was launched into space to the outermost regions of the universe. It carried an invitation in all languages for alien life forms to visit our planet. Someone, somewhere, listened and accepted our invitation.

Someone is coming. Someone like no one she has ever known before. Can you clone a living organism from the hair of a dead man? Well, I'm hypothesizing in technology that's probably a hundred thousand years ahead of me.

He has powers we cannot imagine and the face and touch of the man she loved. I said to readings! What's the matter with you? I'm mentioning this to you understand. I understand readings in 54 private churches.

Do you seriously expect me to tell? President, an alien has landed. Assume the identity of a dead house painter, and is presently out tooling around the countryside in a hopped up 1977 Mustang? You're not from, Roger.

Figure what we could learn. You don't understand, there isn't much time, Clovis. It doesn't want to hurt anybody. Don't you just leave him alone? What the hell ever happened to good parents? We invited him here!

So far to come, so much to do, so little time to fall in love. Look up. Companies coming, to Coventry's Starman.
