En fruktraket som kommer ner. Banankontakt är min takt. Banankontakt är din takt. Och din kontakt är min takt. Och min kontakt är din takt. Banankontakt är vår takt. Och vår kontakt är er takt.

The banana high command comes out. "Now we are running [taking care of, managing] this planet, so that the misery can come to an end." Banana contact is ... [as before]. There is a shimmer over the city. A wise and beautiful golden-yellow light. Banana encounter of the third kind, with peace and joy in every house [each house, implying all houses].
