Quotes from

Jeff Trent: They here, they're a fact. And the Public oughta know about it!


Colonel Tom Edwards: Why is it so important that you want to contact the governments of our earth?
Eros: Because of death. Because all you of Earth are idiots.
Jeff Trent: Now you just hold on, Buster.

Now you can arrange the total destruction of the entire universe served by our sun: The only explosion left is the Solaranite.
Colonel Tom Edwards: Why, there's no such thing.


Eros: You do not need guns.
Jeff Trent: Maybe we think we do.
