alex: They're coming... Oh, yes, any minute now... But we'll be ready for them... Oh, yes... you can count on it.barlow: Good morning, Alex.
alex: Oh, Barlow. I didn't know you were there.
barlow: Then who were you just talking to?
alex: Talking? I wasn't. I've been watching all night, and all my senses are at peak alertness. If I was talking, I'd have noticed it.
barlow: Oh-kaaay.
barlow: How goes the demon watch?
alex: We're entirely surrounded!
alex: Hordes of demons, mocking our feeble efforts to fight them off!
barlow: So you haven't seen anything.
alex: They're waiting for me to let my guard down!
barlow: How would you like to participate in a complicated plan to free Turnip from the Sheriff's evil scheme?
alex: I normally would, but we can't get distracted from the problem at hand.
alex: The demon invasion, Barlow. We have to be ready!
barlow: I was hoping you'd set off the flares and make a big racket about demons...
alex: You think it would force their hand?
barlow: No, this is for MY plan.
alex: It's too dangerous. We should show restraint until an actual demon is sighted.
barlow: You know that new waitress?
alex: Yeah.
barlow: Demon.
alex: Are you serious?!
barlow: Yep.
alex: What are we gonna do?!
barlow: Nothing.
alex: Ohmygod! She's got you under some sort of spell, doesn't she?! You're possessed!
barlow: It certainly appears so.
alex: AAAAGH!!!
alex: DEMONS!!! TO ARMS! TO ARMS, GOOD CITIZENS! FIGHT THE DEMON MENACE!
alex: The demons are here!!!
alex: TO ARMS! THE DEMON ATTACK HAS BEGUN!!!
sheriff: What is that fool going on about?
barlow: Hordes of demons are approaching the town.
sheriff: Ridiculous! He's got to be imagining things.
barlow: Fine, don't believe me.
barlow: Must...destroy...town...
sheriff: What?! Barlow, are you okay?
barlow: I.. must... obey... my master...
sheriff: Demon! What did you do to him?!
crystal: Nothing! I'm not...er...
crystal: ....uh, yeah... He's under my control now!
sheriff: You vile thing! You can't do that!
sheriff: Barlow! Fight it! Fight her demonic powers!
barlow: Must...eat...brains...
barlow: Join us... now...
sheriff: I've got to do something about this!
crystal: Barlow, that was a little excessive.
barlow: All part of my plan. You need to get ready to run now.
sheriff: How could y carefully laid plans go so wrong?
sheriff: I'll meditate on this later. Right now I have to restore the balance!
