John Valentine: [just saw the weird creature on the wing of the plane] There's a man on the wing of this plane!
[Everyone looks out the windows on his side. But the creature has disappeared]
John Valentine: There was somebody out there. You gotta believe me!
Old Woman: I saw him. Green and slimy.
Old Man: Leave the poor man alone.
Old Woman: I'm only trying to help. You've got to humor them.
John Valentine: It was lightning. At first I thought it was animal. Some kind of bird or something. But it was a man! There were flames coming out of the engine, and a flash of smoke. Maybe it was a technician who was caught on the side of the plane when it took off. How could he survive out there? The air's so thin, the blast of the wind. It's so cold.
[begins to think it was only his imagination and feels embarrassed]
John Valentine: It's impossible, isn't it? Oh my god, I feel so stupid!
[takes sedatives to sleep. Then laughs nervously]
John Valentine: Can you imagine? A naked man crawling along the wing of an airplane at 35,000 feet?

Co-Pilot: [John screamed when he saw the strange creature outside his window. He is now in his seat talking with the Co-Pilot, who doesn't know about the creature] Mr. Valentine, what do you think's wrong with this aircraft?
John Valentine: [tries to think of something else, since no one will believe him about the creature] There's an engine out.
Co-Pilot: Which one?
John Valentine: The one on the outside. Outboard No. 1. It's out, isn't it?
Co-Pilot: What makes you think that?
John Valentine: Never mind about that. It's true, isn't it?
Co-Pilot: Nine minutes ago, Outboard No. 1 was struck by lightning, there was a flame out, that's all.
John Valentine: Lightning?
Co-Pilot: Lightning. Mr. Valentine, this aircraft has four engines. The possibility of us losing one, remaining three, is remote in the extremes.
John Valentine: You sure it was just lightning?
Co-Pilot: Absolutely. Listen, we're gonna be landing in about twenty minutes. There is the highest chance that we will survive this flight.
John Valentine: [laughs in fear and disbelief] Okay.

Helen Foley: Anthony, where are we?
Anthony: Nowhere.
Helen Foley: And the others?
Anthony: I sent them where they wanted to go. Away from me. It's not fair! You're supposed to be happy when your wishes come true!
Helen Foley: Anthony, take us back. Can you take us back?
Anthony: So you can leave too?
Helen Foley: And go where, Anthony? I've seen what you can do. I know you have a power... a gift that makes you special. You better be careful. For one day it may become too big for you to control. Now maybe. Just maybe. Together we can master it and learn from it. Use it in ways you never thought of before. I'd like to be your teacher, Anthony. And your student.
Anthony: You'd stay with me?
Helen Foley: Yes.
Anthony: Always?
Helen Foley: Always

Narrator: You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into... the Twilight Zone.

Co-Pilot: [John Valentine's just been taken away in the ambulance after the plane has landed] That hadn't broke we would've never gotten this baby down. Hell of a night. We got the storm. We got the flame out. Then that freak show.
Old Woman: Not to mention the gun. The gun was awful.
Sky Marshal: He didn't have a gun.
Old Man: He didn't have a gun?
Sky Marshal: No, no. He didn't have a gun. It was my gun. I'm FAA.
Jr. Stewardess: He was so crazy. He smashed the window. What was he trying to do, get out?
Sky Marshal: It's claustrophobia! They'd rather fall to the ground, than stay aboard! I've seen it happen! I've seen it!
Jr. Stewardess: He'd always been completely wacko, right?
Sr. Stewardess: I knew he was frightened, but I didn't think he was crazy.
Jr. Stewardess: Didn't he also say he saw something on the end of the wing?
