Harlow: Grab your water pistols! The aliens are coming!
- "Bubba"

Lawrence: I want my mom!
Jimmy: I want your mom too!

Edwin: [very quickly] Well, ah, we seem to have a happy ending all around, as the aliens were killed with plain and simple water, which vanquished them upon contact. And they all died quickly and the world was saved, and you've been listening to Odyssey FM and the Harlequin Players. And I'm Edwin Blackgaard. Thank you and good night. SHAKESPEARE!! WHAT HAPPENED?!
- Ben

Whit: I guess that wraps it up for our careers in live radio drama. Is there something you want to say, Jimmy?\r\nJimmy: Uh, yeah. I just want to say that if you\'re here, Mr. Gerard, I may be a little late handing in my essay\r\n[laughter]
