 A:    Oh honey, this is so romantic!  I have never seen
       so many stars before! It’s beautiful!

 B:    See that constellation¹ there? That’s Orion! And
       the very bright star? Well, it’s not a star since it
       doesn’t blink. That’s actually Venus.

 A:    What’s that big flashy one?

 B:    I don’t know... I think it’s a UFO!

 C:    Greetings earthlings. I come from afar, from a dis-
       tant galaxy² known only to a few.

 A:    Why are you here? Where did you come from?
 C:    We have been observing you for the last three
       thousand years. We have seen the amazing
       capacity that humans have to create such won-
       ders as the Taj Mahal or masterpieces such as
       the Haffner symphony. Unfortunately, your intelli-
       gence and creativity does not come without con-
       sequence. Your ambition and desire for more will
       be  your downfall, and we are here to save your
       planet from you.

 B:    You think you have us figured out? What gives
       you the right to come and judge us? Who are you
       to play God with our fate?

 C:    Silence human! It is that belligerent³ attitude that
       has caused years of pain and anguish⁴ among
       yourselves! Now you will pay the price!
