[George goes to the bar after his tests]

Banes:
What did they find out?

George:
I'm pregnant. That's how it feels. [Roger smirks]

Roger:
How what feels?

George:

Nate Pope:

Nate:

Now, if she does this, she can save an hour a day and everybody gets their mail by three o'clock. Imagine, three o'clock. Oh, and l got a holy sh*t idea too. Look at this.

Jimmy:
Well, what am I gonna do with it?

George:
What the hell am I supposed to do with it, huh? You know what that light was? You know what that sound was?

Jimmy:
Tell us.

George:
I'm gonna tell you what it was.

Jimmy:
Well, tell us!

Banes:
It was a damn alien.

Nate:
Don't say that. You don't know what it was.

George:
I know what it is, Nate.

Nate:
You don't know what it was. Don't say that.

Jimmy:
Well, tell us!

George:
It's a GODDAMN mistake, is what it is! Okay? It was supposed to happen to someone smart, someone that's scientific, someone who is a leader. But it didn't. It happened to me, George freakin' Malley. Look at him. Now look at him. Look! [his psychic powers slightly break the glass panel at the bar and Jimmy heads for cover]
