Bye-bye now.

Gordon: Let's go over
this one more time.
So, a reporter calls you
inquiring as to the
Suttons' disappearance?
That's precise.
You somehow thought
that was a good idea
to confirm UFO
sightings to them?
Well, yes, sir.
That's the story you told me
to stick to, I stuck to it.
Let me correct you, all right,
because that was
before I found out
that they had escaped.
Well, sure.
