They stop the car and get out. There is a shot of the rear right panel of the car, two sets of "lights" are visible reflecting off the car. One single light and 4 lights in a square shape to the right of it. They help the man into their car and there is another side shot of the car and the lights are now 3 sets of 2 lights. They're in the middle of nowhere, at night, along a country road. It looks like "light trees" used to illuminate a scene at night. 93579 In the scene where everyone is running out of the theater most are cracking up.
