  • [Encountering the Big Top] Well I'll be greased and fried! What in blue blazes is the circus doing here in these parts? I love the circus! Come on! Maybe we can get some free passes. [Noticing the purple lights on the tent's cables] I've never seen one that looked like this 'un before. Well... I don't know Pooh, you know there's something kinda peculiar around here. Where is everybody? There's nobody around. Where's the dang ticket booth? [A shadow from inside the tent follows them] How are we supposed to get in and see the show?

Dialogue

[edit]
[Watching the stars, suddenly a bright light appears and disappears]
Mike Tobacco: Did you see that?
Debbie Stone: Yeah I saw that! That was incredible!
[Mike and Debbie are inside the alien's "circus tent"]
Mike Tobacco: God, is this place great, or what? I mean, it looks like it was decorated by "Clowns R Us"!
Debbie Stone: [Feeling a little uneasy] I don't know...
Mike Tobacco: Hey, didn't you ever want to run away and join the circus?
Debbie Stone: I wanted to run away from the circus.
Mike Tobacco: How come?
Debbie Stone: When I was five years old, my mom and my dad took me to the circus for the first time. Lion tamers, acrobats, tightrope walkers... I guess they were okay. But then, this little car drove up... and stopped right in front of me. Out jumped this huge clown. He jumped over to me... he lifted me right up out of my seat. Everybody was laughing, even my parents. Then he threw me up on his shoulders and he... he ran me out in the center ring. And all the other clowns started dancing around me... honking their horns and squeaking their noses. Their cakey white faces, and yellow eyes and dingy teeth, were tormenting me. I was terrified. I will never forget those horrible smiling faces as long as I live. Ugh!
Mike Tobacco: Hey, don't worry. Nothing in here is going to hurt you.
Debbie Stone: We were up at "the top of the world" and we saw this shooting star and we decided to go look for it! But instead of finding the shooting star we saw this... this circus tent! And that's when we went inside and that is when we saw those people in those... those pink, cotton candy cocoons! Dave, it was not a circus tent! It was something else!
Dave Hanson: What?! What?!
Mike Tobacco: It was a spaceship! And there was these things! These killer clowns! And they shot popcorn at us! We barely got away!
Curtis Mooney: Killer clowns from outer space? Holy shit!
Paul Terenzi: Mike, what do you want us to do? We've got ice cream to sell tonight.
Mike Tobacco: Paul, this is more serious than selling ice cream. There's clowns going around killing people. We're all in danger.
Slug: [to Tricycle Klown] Mean bike you got there.
[bikers laugh mockingly]
Slug: Can I take a ride... pal?
[Klown shakes head no]
Slug: Can I beep the horn?
[Klown shakes head yes]
Slug: [sarcastically joyous] Oh, thank you!
[proceeds to smash Klown's bike, bikers laugh uproariously]
Black Biker: Shoulda' let the man ride his bike.
[more laughter]
Slug: [sarcastically remorseful] I'm sorry, I... I seem to have broken your bike. [as Tricycle Klown raises his fists] What are you gonna do... knock my block off?
[Klown knocks Slug's head into a trash can]
Black Biker: [amid screams from bikers] Damn!
Debbie Stone: Do you think it's over?
Mike Tobacco: Yeah, sure.
