“It’s his birthday party, the whole thing was an elaborate prank.” **The Game**  
“Teenager with green slime on her head becomes a big MTV star.” **You Can’t Do That On Television**  
“He cuts off his own hand to get away after feeding brains to the prick FBI agent. (“Smells delicious!”)” **Hannibal** (the movie)  
“The TV-watching gardener walks on water, and is being projected as the most favorable Presidential candidate” **Being There** (?)

The man he saw killed in the airport was himself.  
His wife checks his blood type and his daughter shoots him; he kills the terrorist with a harpoon gun.  
He travels back home, but he still didn’t say the words right.  
He tries to travel back home, but goes too far and is alone.  
The ship works exactly as planned, but no one believes it.  
The alien device turns the sky blue and saves him and the brunette at the last minute.  
She wins the money gambling, but her boyfriend already got it back from the bum.  
Mr. Glass did it all.  
Everyone dies except the idiot savant, who escapes into the white light.
