## Derek

* Stick all the bits of brain in a plastic bag, Barry.
* Suck my spinning steel, shithead!
* I'm a Derek. Dereks don't run!
* Stay where you are then, and I'll give you an eye witness description of this, intergalactic wanker!
* The headshot's the only true stopper.
* What are you dirty hooers doing on my planet?
* Well this sure has buggered your plans for conquering the world, eh? Hehe... my friend, the astro-bastard, time for talkies. By the time my colleagues get here I want to have you babbling in some extra-terrestrial language!
* Eat lead sucker!
* I'm coming to get you bastards. [laughs in a mad way]
* I'm born again!

## Ozzy

* [after drop-kicking an alien's head out of a window] The old magic is still there.
* The bastards have landed!
* [after shooting the alien that was about to execute Giles in the head] I bet that cleared the sinuses.

## Lord Crumb's Voice

* That's the end of those weekend cowboys!
* I'm sure you'll be pleased to be leaving this shitty planet!
* Tomorrow we're having you for lunch!
* I think the gruel is ready!
* The sad news is that we will be heading back to nalak not with six of our co-workers in a state of permanent death. They died today, murdered by some real arseholes.
* [after trying to fire on Barry with an empty gun] Oh, sod it!

## Others

* Barry: I think Derek's turned his toes up, guys.
* Coldfinger: I think this is a job for real men!
* Lord Crumb: [Sniffing on bowl of alien vomit produced by Robert] Mmmhh, exquisite bouquet, Robert!
* Lord Crumb: [drinking bowl of alien vomit] Aren't I lucky, I got a chunky bit!

## Dialogue

    [barry getting chased by an alien wielding an axe]:
    Derek: [on the radio] I think you better kill him Barry.
    Barry: Jeez, he could be Ministry of Works or something.
    Derek: Nah, he's moving too fast.
    Barry: Why can't aliens be friendly?
    Derek: There's no glowing fingers on these bastards. We've got a bunch of Extra-Terrestrial psychopaths on our hands. Like a... like a visit from a planet full of Charlie Mansons. They've wiped out a small town for starters, it's my guess they'll go onto something bigger next time. Christchurch, Wellington...
    Barry: Auckland?
    Derek: Yeah, well that wouldn't be so bad.
    Frank: This isn't gonna be another false alarm like the Manor Street invasion over there, is it?
    Derek: Well, how do you explain the disappearance of an entire township, Frank? Oh! The Kiwi Jonestown, of course, that's it! Drinking beer laced with cyanide from little polystyrene cups.
    Frank: Well, I guess we'll have to issue a gun to Ozzy.
    Barry: Yeah, but don't forget about his personality disorder.
    Barry: What are we gonna do if we're spotted, Frank?
    Frank: Well... I guess we shoot the bastards.
    Frank: Just remember, we're only authorized to use violence when protecting the planet.
    Barry: And the moon.
    Frank: Yeah, and the moon.
    [after frank had to drink the "gruel"]
    Frank: oh christ, you'll never believe what i had to do!
    Ozzy: umm... did you have to drink some chuck?
