How we cite our quotes: (Part.Paragraph)
Quote #7
"I totally agree. I'm just suggesting that maybe we don't know everything about them after all. You said they can't get sick, but I've seen two of them sneeze. Or the same one sneeze twice." (3.1468)
It's not what J.Lo wants to hear, but the Boov might not know everything about the Gorg. This is one of those times where J.Lo is just convincing himself of something because it's what he wants to believe, not because it's true.
Quote #8
"I know! Isn't it amazing? They really want to earn our trust."
I crossed my arms. "Sounds like they already have our trust," I said. (3.1474-1475)
Tip's mom thinks the Gorg can be trusted because they promised a cure for cancer, but her daughter knows better—just because someone promises something doesn't mean they can deliver. Besides, when did these aliens become our friends, anyway?
Quote #9
THE EXCELLENT DAY FESTIVITIES WILL BE HELD TOMORROW MORNING AT SUNRISE. HUMANS OF THE AIRPORT DISTRICT WILL MEET ON THE AIRPORT TARMAC TO WATCH THE BOOV RETREAT. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY! MANDATORY! MESSAGE ENDS. (3.1497)
We love how the Gorg yell everything and put a positive spin on it at the same time. Contradictory, much? It's not lost on Tip that the Gorg are planning something they call "excellent day" that will really be anything but. It seems their deception is thinly veiled, but most people buy it.
