[SOLVED] Alias' and apostrophes - Programming On Unix

Hoping someone can help me here, it's probably rather simple!
I have a snippet of shell script I want to assign an alias to, but it has apostrophes and quotation marks in it. Is there any way to assign an alias to this?

Code:
awk 'BEGIN{while (("pacman -Qi" |getline) > 0){ if ($0 ~ /Name/) {name=$3};\

{if ($0 ~ /Size/) {size=$4/1024;printf "%-25s %d Mb\n", name, size|"sort -k2 -n"}}}}'

I'm using zsh, in case that makes a difference :)
I suppose I could always just put it into a script and export the directory to my zsh.rc, but it'd be nice to have it in my alias' section!
Thanks in advance for any help
