J: Well, we'll probably use "the" here because we've already been talking about it. It's a specific blanch. So, let's use "the."
J: And there's actually a couple of ways we can say this. Um... the first one would be the same as the dialog "Pull the blanch down."
J: But you can also say "Pull down the blanch."

C: Well, a UFO has crash landed on Nanako's roof, a daily occurrence these days.

N: Be careful up there.
R: I'll be fine. Stand back now. I'm going to pull the UFO down.
N: Okay.
R: As far as I can see, there's no damage to your roof.
N: Oh, thank goodness.
R: There's a little dent in the UFO though.
U: Hello, earthlings. No worries. It's an easy fix.
N: Oh, really?
U: Yep. The Martian repair team will be here tomorrow.
R: I think I can fix it right now. I know some tricks of the trade. Let me go get my toolbox.
U: We'll pay you a kilo of gold, kind sir.
N: Oh, what a nice system you have. Take me with you.
U: You wouldn't like the taxes on Mars.
