Gort and Mindy: “Klaatu Barada Nanu.” “Meet Bella Swan. A dull, insipid girl of no notable qualities. In a moment, Ms Swan is about to become the object of desire of otherworldly creatures who think that she is utterly beautiful and will do anything to have her. Bella may be amazed at this. But such unlikely events are the norm here. In The Twilight Zone.” ---

We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: “We will not go quietly into the night!” We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day! Gozer the Gozerian… good evening. As a duly designated representative of the City, County and State of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension. ---
