I was just thinking — if the government couldn’t keep Elliott’s house — you know — Elliott from ET — quarantined properly with all those big elaborate duct systems connected to the van and with the zipper windows and doors everywhere — what makes people think that some plastic window covering and duct tape is going to prevent them from the effects of a nearby chemical attack? Admittedly, it was the 80s and we had 80s technology and all, but still what the heck good is this gonna do?
