Close Encounters of the Third Kind Scene 27 Summary

  • Running toward the mountain, Roy introduces himself to the other man, Larry.
  • The people left in the helicopter are told to keep their gas masks on until they're airlifted out.
  • As soon as they're gone, the authorities take off their own gas masks.
  • Back at the decontamination center, Major Walsh receives orders to get them off the mountain in one hour. If he can't, the major is to dust the mountain with E-Z-four, a gaseous sleep agent.
  • Lacombe thinks this is a mistake, since Roy, Jillian and Larry were obviously "invited."
