Peter: Hi. I'm Peter. That's Lucy. I live here. Over there. I... I guess you don't understand me.
Amalthor: Do not be afraid, young man. That is not so. We are equipped to identify, comprehend and speak all languages known. Hello.
[he bows]
Amalthor: How do you do? I am fine.
Peter: Oh. I'm fine, too, I guess. Lucy?
Plutox: Our scientists have recently detected, 2000 years ago, Earth time, in the 79th Mervent, a transitory celestial phenomenon of the Merbullian class...
Peter: Huh?
Lexicon: What Plutox is trying to say is that in the heavens, visible to many worlds, there appeared for a brief time, a great star, that manifests itself in the heavens...
Peter: Oh. You must mean the Star of Bethlehem.
Lexicon: Star of Bethlehem?
[he, Amalthor and Plutox look at each other]
Plutox: That has no meaning.
Amalthor: Our mission is to search for the meaning of that star.
Peter: You must mean Christmas! Did you come for Christmas?
Lexicon: Christmas?
Amalthor: Christmas?
Plutox: What is Christmas? How do we measure it?
Peter: You don't. The star that you saw shone over Bethlehem because Jesus Christ was born there. He was very special. This is his birthday. We celebrate it every year with love, peace and caring for others. And that's Christmas!
Amalthor: Then that is what we've come for.
Peter: Well, come on! We'll show you.
