it takes several minutes for the moon to rise

old man falls from the ceiling and hits the ground hard. in pajamas. disoriented. looks around. takes a few moments to notice the soldiers. then is startled when he does take notice.

all the soldiers are fake except one. this one is the man in black, who eyes the old man as the old man examines each soldier, one by one and begins to recall nicknames and names of certain soldiers stirred up from the depths of memory or pulled out of thin air or cut out of thick air. strange hair schemes. the old man tries to communicate with them. pleads with them to understand that he's here now. that they can all join now with him. when he reaches the MIB, the old man recognizes him as his old best friend. the MIB tries to keep his cover and blend in, but at some point gives in and responds with physical undulation. the old man is surprised and re-engages.
