As Bowden worked the room, Jubek took Lucas around to all the other security people and told them to take a good look. If this guy tells you something, you listen, he told them. He gave Lucas his cell phone number, and said, as Lucas was leaving, I sincerely hope you're a self-aggrandizing bullshitter who's trying to get attention for himself, but I looked you up and I've got the bad feeling you're not. 'Self-aggrandizing.' Pretty big words for a former lineman, Lucas said. Jubek grinned and slapped him on the shoulder and said, See ya.

As Bowden mingled with the attendees, Jubek made it a point to introduce Lucas to the other security personnel, emphasizing his significance and urging them to heed any information he provided. Jubek shared his cell phone number with Lucas and expressed hope that he was merely seeking attention, though he had a nagging suspicion that he was not. This realization hinted at a deeper concern that Lucas may have been more influential than he let on.

Lucas found Jubek's use of the term "self-aggrandizing" noteworthy, considering Jubek's background as a former lineman. Despite the seemingly serious nature of their conversation, there was an amicable undertone as Jubek slapped Lucas on the shoulder while bidding him farewell. This interaction underscored Lucas's complex role in the unfolding events, suggesting that he had an important mission that others were beginning to recognize.

Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.

Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
