...there was no cover-up. I asked him if he felt betrayed when he found out that was not true: "I felt thoroughly disillusioned, to have been told that there was nothing to this, there were no more, you know, smoking guns or whatever these horrible things were. And, uh, I felt very much -- betrayal is a word I don't particularly use, but this wasn't right, and I've so stated many times...
...Some dialogue also hints at satire, probably unintentionally. Asked by a Zealot to compare being dead with being alive, the resurrected Lazarus says thoughtfully, "I was a little surprised.

Holes in the couch, holes in the bed, holes in the floor. Trapdoors everywhere. It looks like a family of gophers live there." Together, we've concocted this great cover story. Supposedly Fusco came to pitch the idea of an alien moving in on a nice, normal family...
