- Janet Price: This is a great stew, what's in it?
- Johnny Longbow: Lots of things. Chicken. Corn. Green peppers. Chili.
- [sigh]
- Johnny Longbow: Onions... well, it's an old recipe around here.
- Johnny Longbow: I don't really know, My guess is that there is some unusual element in this fragment that synchronizes with that larger mass over there and it produces some kind of energy reaction!
- Kathy Nolan: I'm Kathy Nolan.
- [shakes Paul's hand]
- Paul G. Carlson: Paul. Paul Carlson. Don't tell me you're a student.
- Prof. 'Johnny-longbow' Salina: Miss Nolan is doing a picture story on the religious customs of the tribes around here. Especially my own people. That's why Budd happened to have a ceremonial mask.
- Kathy Nolan: Really my idea. I borrowed the mask from the collection at the reservation to do some mood shots on location out here, but when we were heading back and I saw you, and Professor Salina explained you were a friend, well, I'm afraid the bright idea of using it for a practical joke and getting some shots of your reaction was my idea.
- Paul G. Carlson: Thanks. I'm glad to know.
- Johnny Longbow: I wish I was kidding Mac, I'm not! Now there is an answer and I think I know what it is and it makes me sick to think about it!
- Kathy Nolan: Johnny, you can't do it! He's your friend!
- Prof. 'Johnny-longbow' Salina: Paul is not *Paul* anymore!
- Kathy Nolan: But you're going to kill him with a bow and arrow?
- Johnny Longbow: Not with just any old bow and arrow but with this!
