Alan: My longstanding technological beef, which is--
Corinne: Ooh, hello!
Alan: What about the words "technological beef"... oh, okay, I get you now.
Wil: That's Corinne's nickname for her special friend.
Alan: My big problem is, where are the hover cars?
Wil: What do you mean?
Alan: Because I spent the entire of the 80s--
Wil: God, I have had acid, haven't I.
Alan: Well, so have I. This water is fantastic.*
Corinne: Where are the hover cars? Please, please, please Alan, don't tell me you can see them now, please.
Wil: Explain what you mean.
Alan: Look, I spent the entire of the 80s watching Beyond 2000 and Amanda Keller told me there were going to be hover cars! All I wanted was a hover car, anti-gravity boots, a personal rocket pack, and my best friend to be a robot.
Wil: Did you want to live in Imaginary Land?
Jean: No, he lived in New Zealand.
Corinne: Hey, yeah, that's the problem. The rest of the world has actually got all of that stuff. We just hide it from New Zealanders.
Alan: That and KFC, I only discovered. Oh, that's nice.
Wil: What?
Corinne: You don't have that?
Alan: We don't have that in New Zealand.
Wil: You don't have KFC in New Zealand?
Alan: No, no.
Jean: No KFC?!
Alan: (Starts laughing) You Australians are so gullible. It was a small victory, but it's my little victory!
Dave: Looking in the direction of your bloody Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson, it looks like you don't have bloody showers over there.
Wil: To be honest, I looked at Peter Jackson and thought he might have eaten all the KFC.
Dave: I looked at him and thought 'I gave that bloke two bucks on the street the other day.'
Alan: I just thought it was great because it looked like Peter Jackson had actually flown there in the suit.
Wil: To be honest, it didn't look like he'd flown there on a plane; it looked like he'd flown there on a giant eagle with Gandalf.
*Earlier in the show...
Wil: Did somebody put acid in our water? Because I have no idea what we're talking about.
Alan: You're the only one who's drunk the water. This is happening in your mind, Wil. We haven't even started yet!
Wil: Oh no! Man, but you lizards are so funny.
