„Case, you look like shit! When did you sleep for the last time?“

„I don't know. Yesterday? Last week? Last month? Sometime before Mary Beth turned my world around.“

„Our world, the world of everyone in Herrington. No one survives an alien attack without being affected by it in some way.“

„But no one was as near to her as I was. No one has felt her larvas inside his head, has heard her desperate cries while she was dying. Dying because of me. I killed her; I stuck this fucking pen of Scat in her eye, and maybe I annihilated an intelligent life form.

How can I sleep after that? Tell me, Zeke, how can I ever sleep again without being tormented by horrible nightmares?“

„I am sorry that you were the one forced to do it, but I am thankful you did. I don't want to imagine how it would be, to be pocessed by aliens, only a puppet in their hands. Call me selfish, but I don't care about the existence of any life form, intelligent or not, when my existence is threatened.

You saved my life and the lives of almost everyone in Herrington. Maybe you saved the humankind by killing one alien that threatened our world. Remember this, and I am sure you will soon be able to sleep without any nightmares.“
