Quote context

[...]

- Well, let's get Melville. He's the deputy mayor. I suppose it's up to him.

- Everyone quiet, please. Now, you all know why we're here. We've had four deaths, and now our constable has disappeared. The cause of these deaths is still unknown.

- Everybody seems to have their own ideas, and they all seem connected with the new air base.

- Now you're talkin'.

- For this reason, I've asked Major Cummings to this meeting. He's going to help us in any way he possibly can. That goes for his commanding officer, Colonel Butler, who is very concerned about what's happened.

- Cut out the soft soap, Melville. Let's get down to brass tacks.

- All I know is, before this air base came here, we were doing fine. Now you and these Air Force fellows tell us that it's not radiation at all. Well, maybe you're right at that. I don't know.

- But forgetting about the deaths, how do you explain the change in quality of the cows' milk, even the quantity? Let the major tell me about that.

- Go ahead, Major.

- Well, no one can make anyone believe something if they don't want to believe it.
