The voice warning the aliens not to move belongs to an armed, uniformed Tyrannosaurus Rex riding a space bike, who is surrounded by other uniformed dinosaurs on bikes. The police dinosaur charges the aliens with “breaking into people’s planets and redecorating them […] And then running away and doing it again somewhere else, over and over” (91). The aliens are also accused of committing crimes against “good taste.”
As the dinosaur police cuff the aliens a Pteranodon lands at Professor Steg’s feet and gazes up in awe, asking whether it is really THE Professor Steg, who invented the “Pointy Zooming-into-Outer-Space-Machine” (96), and “Really-Good-Moves-Around-in-Time-Machine” (96). The Pteranodon confuses the father by exclaiming, “MADAM, IS IT TRULY YOU?” (96). The father had assumed Professor Steg was male. In his distracted embarrassment, when he reaches to shake Pteranodon’s hand, the two milks touch. Everyone freezes. However, the Universe does not end. Instead “[t]hree purple dwarfs with flowerpots on their heads” materialize and perform a complicated dance before disappearing (98).
