• Pest : They arrest us for nothing anyway.

  Moses : No, I reckon yeah, I reckon, the Feds sent them anyway. Government probably bred those things to kill black boys. First they sent in drugs, then they sent guns and now they're sending monsters in to kill us. They don't care man. We ain't killing each other fast enough. So they decided to speed up the process.

  Pest : Believe!

• [the boys, running from an alien, have followed Sam into her apartment. She runs into her bedroom, shuts the door, looks for the phone - it isn't there in its cradle - so she lifts a guitar and charges back out] 

  Sam : Get out of my fucking flat!

  [a couple of them glance at her, make derogatory noises because they're too busy worrying about the situation, and turn away] 

  Sam : I said, get out!

  Moses : Yo, snitch. Calm yourself. This ain't about you no more.

  Sam : Come anywhere near me, and I swear I will scream this fucking block down!

  Jerome : There's worse things out there to be scared of than us, tonight! Trust it!

  Dennis : Hey, bruv. I saw her ID card thing. She's a nurse, innit?

  Pest : Help me, then! I need this leg. I need it to be able to run away from them things!

  Sam : You think I'm going to help you? After you attacked me and robbed me, and then set those dogs on the police?

  Dennis : Yes to the first two, no to the last one.

  Pest : Dogs? What kind of dogs those? Dogs with no eyes? Dogs the size of gorillas? You think them things are dogs? Go out there and try feeding them some Pedigree Chum! They're ALIENS, luv!

  Sam : Whatever the fuck they are, they're not fucking aliens!

  Dennis : You swear too much, man.

  Pest : Yeah, you got a potty mouth, man.

  Jerome : Look, whatever they are, they're inside the Block now. They're after everyone.

  Dennis : Yeah. We're on the same side, man. Get it?

• Moses : Allow it.

• Pest : I'm shitting myself innit', but at the same time...

  Moses : What?

  Pest : This is sick.

• [Moses, Dennis and Sam have fled from the aliens in the police van, but crash into Hi-Hatz's BMW. The rest of Moses' gang catch up. Hi-Hatz and Tonks get out of the wrecked BMW, Hi-Hatz with his gun in his hand] 

  Moses : It was an accident bruv...

  Pest : Nah nah nah, trust bruv! There's bare creatures chasin' us! Big alien gorilla wolf mother fuckers! I swear! Some creature fell from outer space then jumped Moses and he bored it and now its brethren have come down in force blood! Then Moses got shiffed by the feds and them things attacked the bully van and savaged the bluefoot so we jacked the van and... we's running for our lives right now cuz, believe!

  [a long silence; Hi-Hatz and Tonks do not believe] 

  Hi-Hatz : Jack a bully van, crash it into my whip, then chat shit about aliens to me?

  Tonks : This is makin me nervous blood, that boy's still cuffed you know, police is gonna be all over this...

  Hi-Hatz : [Ignoring Tonks]  You tryin' to snake me?

  [raises his gun; the gang lift their weapons in response] 

  Hi-Hatz : You bringin' arms to me now? You tryin' to murk me? You want war with me?

  Pest : Listen to me cuz! I'm not even lyin'! If we was makin' it up, don't you think we'd make up something better than aliens?

  Hi-Hatz : Say that word one more time...

  [Suddenly an alien howls]
