Episode Quotes

Grandpa Max: We're running out of time.
Ben Tennyson: And aliens. I went everybody.
Gwen Tennyson: Not exactly EVERYBODY.
Ben Tennyson: No way! I am not turning into that ball-thing again. Plus, I don't even know if I could.
Gwen Tennyson: Don't try and Earth turns into a giant cesspool!
Ben Tennyson: I hate it when you're right!

Enforcer Alien: It's time for the final purification of your planet, and you three along with it.
Gwen Tennyson: Please tell me we have a plan 'B'.

Leader Alien: Relax. We come in peace.
Gwen Tennyson: That's what they always say right before they blow you to bits.
Enforcer Alien: Hmm. An earthling with attitude. I've heard they exist here in large numbers, or should I say... "did?"
Leader Alien: [spotting Ben as Cannonbolt] And an Aburian Pelarota to boot.
Gwen Tennyson: [whispering to Ben] At least we know what you are, now.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (factual errors): Ben says he's tried all his regular aliens against the giant tick. He's wrong. He never summoned Gray Matter.
Goof (plot holes): Max and Gwen's only defense against the tick's pus is its own shed scales. While the pus is corrosive enough to dissolve the rocks around them, it seems unable to harm the human fingers holding the edges of its scales.

Trivia

Though Cannonbolt has appeared in the opening montage in place of Ghostfreak since the beginning of the series (as alien #9), this is Cannonbolt's first actual appearance in the series.
