* After the stranded Astronaut arrives, a shot from the Zorgons' ship punches through the house behind him, and he just [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight gives it a look]] before [[SeenItAll showing how much he knows]] by referring to a bombardment like a case of termites:
-->"[[CasualDangerDialogue Looks like you've got a Zorgon problem.]]"
* Once the house is hidden by extinguishing all sources of light and heat, the brothers find the Astronaut pouring lighter fluid all over a couch, which Danny protests since it's their dad's "nap couch". He levels a flat look at them to show how little he cares, and then casually tosses a lit match on it to ignite the furniture.
* This is followed by the Astronaut raiding their fridge for cold pizza and sandwiches, washed down with Diet Coke. As he explains to Walter:
-->'''Astronaut:''' I had to squeeze through a [[{{Foreshadowing}} time-sphincter]] to get here.\\
'''Walter:''' "Time-sphincter"?\\
'''Astronaut:''' [[LaymansTerms A wormhole.]] ''(Holds index finger and thumb in a ring the size of a peephole)'' About yea-big. You try squeezing through one of those and not being hungry enough to eat a carpet shark.
