[K and James are walking down a corridor at MIB headquarters. K hands James a file.]

Agent K:
Back in the mid-1950s the government started a little, underfunded agency with the simple and laughable purpose of establishing contact with a race not of this planet. ... Everybody thought the agency was a joke, except the aliens who made contact March 2, 1961, outside New York. There were nine of us the first night: seven agents, one astronomer, and one dumb kid who got lost on the wrong back road.

James:
[He notices a picture of agents giving an alien flowers] Aww, you brought that tall man some flowers.

[K points]

Agent K:
This way. They were a group of intergalactic refugees. Wanted to the use the earth as an apolitical zone for ... creatures without a planet. Did you ever seen the movie Casablanca?

[James nods]

Agent K:
Same thing, 'cept no Nazis.

James:
Oh.

Agent K:
We agreed, and we concealed all the evidence of their landing.

[James looks at a picture]

James:
Uh-huh, so these are real flying saucers, and the World's Fair was just a cover-up for their landing.

Agent K:
Why else would we hold it in Queens? More non-humans arrive every year and they live among us in secret.

James:
Uh, look, I'm sorry, not to change the subject or anything, but when was the last time you had a CAT scan?

Agent K:
'Bout six months ago, it's company policy.

James:
Right, you should make another appointment. Um, look, tell your boy Zed I had an absolutely wonderful time, and thank you for everything, but... [He hands the file back] ...why don't you show me the door?
