->''Man and woman, boy and girl, the survivors prepared to defend [[UsefulNotes/{{Japan}} their homeland]], to drive the invaders back into the sea with wooden rifles, bows and arrows, bamboo spears.

->''"The world is set on a major collision course with disaster, and it's going to strike probably [[FailedFutureForecast around the end of the century or just after]]. We may very well see, if it goes to nuclear war in the Northern hemisphere which is likely, that hemisphere made virtually uninhabitable for some time. Well a lot of people say, well you know this is the end of the world -- I don't believe this is so. And I think that Australia will have a much better chance than most other places of coming through successfully. But, we will in such a situation clearly be like the one lifeboat from the big liner that is sunk and it's full, and all around in the water are many, many people trying to clamber on board and if you let them you all sink. You've got to just batter them off, keep them away, and [[ColdEquation look after your own survival]]. The only way in which we can protect ourselves I believe, is by having not machine guns and rifles, but the most sophisticated scientific weapons that we can devise. And I put nuclear weapons in that too, and anything else which will enable one man to hold off a hundred."''

->'''The Mayor:''' Well if tanks are no better than toothpicks, what would you consider is appropriate equipment for the police to use for preventing crime?
->'''DaChief:''' I'm glad you asked me that. I wouldn't mind replacing our guns with tactical nuclear weapons. If nuclear weapons can [[MutuallyAssuredDestruction stop war]], [[InsaneTrollLogic they should be able to stop criminals!]]
