History

Escape from Planet Earth

The Greys crashed at General Shanker's home when he was a child because they forgot to fuel their spaceship with gas and crashed on Shanker's father while he and Shanker were viewing their telescope. The Greys felt bad for killing Shanker's father and decided to work for Shanker in his plans to destroy Aliens as revenge for killing his father.

The Greys were seen when the star character, Gary Supernova, was captured and brought to Area 51 in an attempted to save his captured brother Scorch Supernova. The Greys attended the cafeteria in Area 51 while the other Aliens were having a food fight and later appeared near the end of the film when they saved Gary and Scorch from dying from falling from an aircraft while battling Shanker. The Greys used their levitation powers to save Gary and Scorch, as well as to throw food and join the food fight in the cafeteria. At the end of the film, they revealed that they could speak English and told Gary and Scorch that they were going to take Shanker while he was unconscious and that they would do things to him that would give Gary and Scorch "nightmares" (most likely probing).

The Greys also appeared in the finale of the film at a wedding where they started to cry and agreed to always stick together right before blowing their noses.

Trivia

• When the Greys spoke, their accents are revealed to be British with the Scouse dialect. Known as Liverpool English and Merseyside English, the Scouse English is a variety of the Lancashire dialect commonly spoken in the Liverpool Metropolitan Area and the Liverpool City Region, including the towns of Runcorn, and Skelmersdale in the nearby county of Cheshire.
  • The Greys' Scouse accents bore similarities to the Scouse dialect that members of the British band, The Beatles spoke with, even though all four members originally came from Liverpool's southern suburbs where the common dialect is the older Lancashire Liverpudlian.
