Transcript:
Arlo: Let's go see the comet!
Arlo: It'll beat its peak before dawn the next few days!
Janis: This script was written weeks ago! It may have burned up in the sun!
Arlo: Well, aren't you curious?
Hale Bop was the best one I’ve seen….It just hung there in the sky, big as life…..Beautiful…..It had TWO tails!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_Hale%E2%80%93Bopp
I’m surprised Arlo is even asking the question. After all, NASA pronounced ISON dead twice, first either late Thanksgiving night or early the next morning, and again a day or two ago after the European astronomers put out a faint glimmer of hope. There won’t be anything for you to see Arlo; sorry.
And yes, I know these scripts are written weeks in advance.

Janis, leave the poor fourth wall alone. Don’t Arlo and Luddy abuse it enough?

While ISON is gone, comet Lovejoy IS currently visible to the naked eye from dark locations.Look to the north in Ursa Major.
