Gedevan: Sir, there's a man there who says he's an alien. Something has to be done.
Mashkov: Call an "03".
Gedevan: I'd like to, but he's almost barefoot, will catch a cold.

Gedevan: Excuse me, are Chatlanians and Patsaks a nationality?
Uef: No.

Uef: No.
Gedevan: Individuals from other planets?
Uef: No.
Gedevan: So what distinguishes one from another?
Uef: Are you colorblind, Fiddler? Can't you even tell green from orange? Tourist!
[Uef is referring to a special detector device they have that when pointed to a Chatlanian buzzes a green dot and when to a Patsak an orange one.]

Bi: Plyuk is a chatlanian planet, so we Patsaks must wear tsaks and do koo.
