I'm apart of what you might call the Advanced Landing Force,
a spy, so to speak.
See, we're not visible to your satellite cameras.
It has something to do with the light waves

♪ When it comes ♪ We can adapt
to pretty much everything on this planet.

It comes out of my side through this slit in my shirt.
I stuck it in you when I sat down here.
It doesn't hurt, you know?
It's got a special coating on it.
It's why you didn't notice.
Actually, if you could see me without this human shell on,
you'd see I'm cover in the things.

(old man gasps) There's no use tryin'
to call out. ♪ All they'll only say ♪
I mean, the muscles in your throat,
they won't be strong enough to make your voice work.
They're paralyzed, the fluid that keeps the tube
from hurting you, it also deadens the muscles
and nerves in our body while allowing me to draw your blood.
♪ Lone star ♪ (overlapping chatter)
These people lookin' over here right now.
They're not thinkin' a thing about it.
They can't see the tube from this angle.
