Earl Stutz: Mayday! Mayday! [the scene changes to Earl piloting his boat] This is the crawler Annabelle. I've lost my bearings and I'm taking on water. My last good reading is 44 degrees north, 68 degrees... [he begins to notice the comet crashing landing in the distance] Radio Voice: Portland Station to Annabelle. What is your current position? Earl Stutz: [grabbing the radio to reply] I don't know exactly, Portland. Off the coast somewhere, near Rockwell! Wait. The lighthouse! I see it!

Annie Hughes: [Off-screen] Over here, honey! Hogarth Hughes: Hey, Mom! You won't believe our good luck. Guess what I found? Annie Hughes: Hogarth, we've been through this before: No pets. Hogarth Hughes: Oh, but he's not a pet, Mom. He's a friend. Annie Hughes: Hogarth, we've got to rent a room this year if we're gonna make ends meet, and no one wants to live in a place with shredded upholstery. Hogarth Hughes: You'll never know he's there. I'll keep him in a cage. Annie Hughes: Until you feel sorry for him and set him free... in the house. You remember the raccoon, Hogarth? [Shudders] I remember the raccoon. Hogarth Hughes: Please, Mom, at least look at him. Annie Hughes: All right. Where is this guy? Hogarth Hughes: I will go get him, okay? Hogarth Hughes: Excuse me. Excuse me. Sir? Excuse me--! Dean McCoppin: What's that? Hogarth Hughes: Please don't move. My pet's under your table. [Dean is about to look underneath] Don't look! If you make a scene, my mom won't let me keep him. Dea

Hogarth Hughes: Hello, this is Hogarth Hughes speaking. Who's calling please? Annie Hughes: [Over phone] Hogarth, honey, I'm really sorry, but... [She was cut off when the waitress comes out of the kitchen. To the waitress] Thank you. [To Hogarth on phone] I need to work late tonight. There's some cold chicken in the icebox.

Hogarth Hughes: Got it? Man on TV: Why, the porpoise can communicate telepathically, Miss Melon. [Hogarth fills the Twinkie with whipped cream and eats it.] If we can transplant at least 15% of their brain matter into ours we may be able to read minds. [Brain is on the floor] Darn.

Annie Hughes: Oh, Hogarth. Annie Hughes: Hogarth? Honey? [Goes upstairs] Annie Hughes: [Checking his bedroom] Hogarth? [She realizes that Hogarth's bed is empty; shocked] Hogarth?! Hogarth Hughes: [Scared] Help! Help! Stop! Help! Annie Hughes: Hogarth? Hogarth! Hogarth Hughes: Mom! Annie Hughes: [Upset] What do you think you're doing?! Don't you know better than to wander off at night alone? What if something happened to you? Hogarth Hughes: I'm sorry, Mom. Annie Hughes: Oh, don't you ever do that to me again, Hogarth. [Hugging him] I was so scared. I thought I'd lost you. Hogarth Hughes: Mom? You won't believe this. Something ate our TV antenna. Annie Hughes: [Annoyed] Oh, Hogarth. Hogarth Hughes: No! I'm serious!

Annie Hughes: [Sternly] Stop it! Just stop. I'm not... [Sighs] I'm not in the mood. Come on. Let
