"Life on Mars? That's nothing—you should see the hideous lifeform that just fell out of my wife."

Other Guy

Oliver Teufel,
Orthopedic Surgeon
"As a 15th century peasant, I am frightened by this news. I must now go read Scripture by the light of a burning witch."

Blonde Girl

Karyn Orosco,
Psychologist
"Perhaps now we'll find that men truly are from Mars—and that women are from Venus."

Minority Guy

James Santos,
Electrician
"Earthman! You have violated the intergalactic codes of the Funk! I wanna see y'all put your hands together and get on up for the Mothership!"

Girl With Glasses

Patti Phelps,
Comptroller
"Any educated person should know a meteor in Antarctica is no proof of Martian life. It can only be the passed gallstone of Guntuska, mighty All-Father of the Skies."

Guy With Sunglasses

Tim Backman,
Systems Analyst
