Znelbar: "Hey, Fnarb, you got it ready to go?" Fnarb: "Yeah Znelbar. It's going to look just like a natural phenomenon. I got a big planet rigged to smash into a magnetar in just a few minutes." Znelbar: "Cool! I bet we can get him to say 'it's not aliens' again." Fnarb: "Remind me... Why are we trolling Anton?" Znelbar: "Because it's funny! Hey, do we have any of that Plutonian Nyborg left?"
