Tully reminds Sam of the story of Alice, as he then states to him "You know what they say, don't you? Them that dance with The Devil are bound to get scrorched!". Just as he's talke, Tully winds up dying from a fall off of his ladder while repairing an upstairs window after a mysterious appearance of a goat who bumped the ladder right from under him when he was trying to warn Sam about "Dancing with the Devil", it only compounds things for Sam, who is still trying to figure out why he leaped there into 1964.
