Wolfman replies by giving him his own take on radio, which he says is the "real music of the spheres" and says that each planet and star are sending out their own signals, "just like the old Wolfman who is a heavenly body in his own right". He adds that the only thing that can stop radio cold is a "big old solar wave" and discusses this further, comparing the sun's coronal ejections to eating spicy food and experiencing flatulence.

	* In the kitchen, Arnie slaves over the food. He pulls out a bowl of meatballs from a built-in Cylon weapon known as a microwave. Norman enters, much to Arnie's delight. He cheerfully informs him that he's in time for a fresh batch of meatballs. Norman replies that he should forget the meatballs and he is worried. After a {{audio\|NTCL 2 - forget the meatballs.mp3\|brief discussion}} over how long he's slaved over the "morsels of heavenly splendor" and Norman's declaration over the fact he doesn't care, Norman asks Arnie what he told the Cylons about the station's security system. Arnie tells him that the conversation involved the Cylon's interest in visiting the station tonight, but that this would be impossible since there are only three sets of keys. Much to Arnie's chagrin, after Norman suggests they call the police, the sad clown reveals that he's known the strangers for only an hour and is concerned over why they're interested in the station.		* In the kitchen, Arnie slaves over the food.
