It does happen to Roy Neary. An average working man, Neary finds his life... his very world... changed. Neary(Dreyfuss): Who are you, people? David Laughlin(Bob Balaban): We have very little time, Mr. Neary. We need answers from you, that are honest, direct, and to the point. Neary(Dreyfuss): Who are you, people? Clade Lacombe(Truffaut): Avez-vous récemment rencontré de près? Laughlin(Balaban): Have you recently had a close encounter? Neary(Dreyfuss): I want to speak to someone in charge! Lacombe(Truffaut): Une rencontre étroite avec quelque chose de très inhabituel? Neary(Dreyfuss): I want to lodge a complaint! Laughlin(Balaban): A close encounter with something very unusual? Neary(Dreyfuss): What the hell is going on around here?! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU, PEOPLE?! Narrator: The title of the picture, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", refers to an intriguing possibility. Hynek: A close encounter of the first kind is when it is close, but nothing really happens. Dreyfuss: A close encounter of the first kind is visible contact with a UFO. Spielberg: Forget the shape and forget how fast is going, it's something that you just can't explain. Hynek: And close encounters of the second kind are those, which leave a physical trace. Holes in the ground... Spielberg: Burn rings... Hynek: Broken tree branches... Spielberg: Telephone lines down... Hynek: Animals disturbed... Spielberg: Stopping of car engines... Hynek: And now close encounters of the third kind, are the most interesting of all... Spielberg: A close encounter of the third kind... is really when you meet them.
