Halfway Across the Galaxy and Turn Left (1993–…): Season 1, Episode 13 - Fun Is Dangerous - full transcript
The boss had only one thing on his mind.
Revenge.
Dad wanted to run away again.
No, Daddy!
As if that wasn't enough, Michelle moved into the house next door.
As soon as the boss saw her, he knew he could use her against me.
At our last fight, I fought the boss in the guise of Michelle.
George, I think he's got her!
The plan to turn me into a robot fell through.
I won!
To celebrate, I went out with Jenny and Colin in the boat.
-That's great!
-This is how the birds feel.
-Can you do that with everything?
-Sure, I can.
Even hamburgers? A little onion, large fries and a milkshake?
No problem.
Great, you're a living take-away service.
It's better than what you buy.
-Let's take a ride while we eat.
-Sure.
-Wait, they've probably already seen us.
-So what?
They'll wonder how you do it.
-So what?
-Colin!
Okay, maybe she's right, but give me a milkshake and we'll call it even.
This is the life!
-Can I ask it to go on?
-It's programmed to obey.
Keep going, Rubot, until I say so.
X, you should hide that thing.
-Come on, Jen.
-No, no, no, no! What if someone comes in?
It's a science project.
What's gotten into you?
You used to be so careful.
Rubot, go to my room and get my tapes.
Hey, look! I told you we couldn't have this.
-Where should we put it?
-I know where to put it.
My closet was a better idea.
No way, Mom would have found it.
It could help around the house.
-X; read my lips. What did I say?
-All right, then.
-It should be safe here.
-What a hassle.
Mom will be here soon and you're supposed to turn on the food.
-Yeah, after I run.
-It's too late.
Too bad, it's the last time before the Esmeralda Cup.
-Are you coming?
-In what?
We'll run around the school.
-Colin's school competes against ours every year
-Sounds fun.
Though on second thought, you might as well not. I'm in great shape.
-See you, girls!
-Bye, guys.
-Do you think I should go?
-No, the guys win anyway.
-Why?
-I guess they're faster.
We repeat: the switchboard receives hundreds of calls...
...from people who have seen "three kids flying in a boat."
A lot of people saw the fishing boat that flew by with three kids.
All reports are from Bellwood.
We're back with an expert on the supernatural.
Police are advising everyone to stay indoors.
Dovis, was that you?
Of course not. X has forbidden such things.
It wasn't me!
It was me.
I just wanted to have some fun.
-You were having fun?
-What's the big deal?
You've gone against me and used your power.
Now it's my turn to have some fun, to be careless and irresponsible.
You be careful, honey.
That's for organizers.
Now I'll do what I want.
Just like the rest of you!
-Look, Michelle. The weirdos.
-Yeah.
-So you came here, Michelle?
-You what?
Haven't you been upstairs snooping on your neighbors?
I know what I saw in the sky and I know what I saw in the house.
There's something weird about her and her family.
We're gonna find out what.
But first I'm gonna beat her in the contest.
Shut the fuck up!
Come on, Dallas.
That's pathetic. I guess it's contagious.
That's funny. Just take it easy with the hocus-pocus.
-You're gonna blow your cover.
-Don't worry about it.
We're on in two minutes, girls.
How could she see that?
You can do this. You'll beat them all!
Thanks, buddy.
-Have you been working on your tactics?
-Tactics?
In running, tactics are key.
I'm gonna go out hard and pick up the pace.
Then I calm down, while the braggarts cower.
Then, from the corner before the finish, I have a lot of energy for the sprint.
Oh, I never thought about tactics before. Thank you, sir.
I'm happy to give advice to the younger ones.
Even girls.
That's nice of you.
Silence, please.
Hello, girls and boys.
Not everyone may know me since I started here this semester.
My name is Miss Bloom and I've taken over for Miss Brewster.
I'll be upholding the traditions she started.
One of them is this contest.
This is the 74th time we've followed in the footsteps of...
...middle school usher Esmeralda Wild.
She ran with the news of the end of World War I...
from the headmaster's room, to the school and back again.
The boys have won 73 times.
But this year is a new year, isn't it, girls?
Well, good luck to you all.
over to you, Miss Harrow.
All right, stand behind the line.
If you run like you swim, the boys better watch out.
They probably will anyway!
On your marks...
Ready.
Come on, Colin, it's not far now.
After 74 years, you've come full circle.
Well done, mate.
Beaten by my sister's friend.
Did I use the right tactics?
What is it now?
X, you have a lot to learn about life in this part of the galaxy.
Why did he tell you about the tactics?
-He was just bragging.
-Why?
It's the way of the world.
You should have been impressed.
Do girls and guys have to be different?
I don't like it, but that's the way it is.
I don't think so.
Listen, X, you have to behave like everyone else or people will suspect something.
Let guys think they're the best.
-They're not always.
-Tell them that.
There, there, there. Get your running gear and come to the parking lot.
History then...
Both you and Michelle ran so well today, you got the day off.
But you should be there now, Jenny.
Yes, Miss Harrow.
-Where are we going?
-To the clinic. You explain, Michelle.
Where the clinic?
I warned you, didn't I?
If you don't stop being weird, I'll do something about it, and I have.
The clinic is a kind of hospital for weirdos.
They're gonna find out what you really are.
I want to know how much talent you have.
-You're so quiet. What's the matter?
-I don't want to go there, Miss Harrow.
What's the point?
Can you drive me home to my parents?
Your father's been informed of this.
-Do we have to compete?
-No, they're trying things out.
I'm not prepared.
What subject are we going to test on?
You're not just crazy.
You're stupid, too.
Do you have a family history of heart disease?
No, we don't.
Diabetes? Rheumatism? Tuberculosis?
No...no...and no.
Blow into this nozzle as long and as hard as you can.
That's enough, Charlotte.
Did I do it wrong?
Unbelievable, you have phenomenal lung capacity.
Have you ever broken these before?
Is this a test question?
You should be studied.
No, Miss Harrow.
I'm just an ordinary person... girl!
Well, we'll see. Don't be afraid, Charlotte.
The doctor will just take some blood.
-What for?
-To take samples.
Blood may take samples?
Look, that didn't hurt, did it?
-Where's he taking it?
-It's to be tested like the other samples.
-Can I have it back later?
-Not normally.
Are they going to take any other parts of my body?
Charlotte, your sense of humour is unique.
Is it from Peru too?
Yes, it is. No, it's not. Yes, the answer is yes.
Tell me how I totally fooled you.
Take a long walk on a short pier!
How'd it go?
I don't know. I don't like surprise tests.
I'm sure I answered a lot of questions.
But some of them were interesting, like when they turn blood into liquid.
What do you mean into liquid?
On Zyrgon, the blood becomes solid when it comes in contact with air.
Did they take a blood sample?
Yes, that's what it was called.
I hope I can do it.
You're from space, X.
Your blood is different, of course.
They understand who you are.
-Can they do this?
-Yes, they can.
No use thinking about it.
That's what you said about the boat that was on the news.
I'm sure everyone's forgotten by now.
And now for the mysterious events in the air.
The problem facing the news reporter is how to report it?
Do you put it on the last page?
Do you give it space and be seen as unserious?
If you don't do serious reporting, interpreters won't know when aliens are coming here
-You say when, not if?
-I'm not saying.
Then you believe in life in the universe?
It's on primitive planets like Earth...
that people think are the only form of life.
Charlotte reminds us of another problem.
How would people react if aliens came to Earth?
They'd be hunted down like dogs.
They would be hunted and caught and never be able to escape.
They would be used in scientific experiments.
They would live in disgusting cages.
We would hunt them down and exterminate them.
The friends they made would be too afraid to visit them in captivity.
They would be alone.
Thank you, Jenny.
They'd be hunted like beasts, killed and put in cages.
Society would fear them, perhaps turn them into laboratory animals.
Not a pretty picture of the human race...
but if you look at history, it's all too familiar.
Now do you understand what's in store for you?
-I told you!
-I just wanted to have fun.
You tried to have all the fun at once.
I'm gonna have to stop doing that.
It's dangerous.
-What about the blood?
-We'll have to take it back.
Yeah, we could break into the clinic...
Exactly.
Are you kidding me? You can't do that, X!
No... but I know someone who can.
Sounds like you need someone with experience in fraud.
That's right!
-Me?
-Can you do it?
Does Zyrgon start with a "z"?
Of course!
Do you?
Let's analyse the situation...
You're asking me to do something illegal, criminal and immoral?
Only two of them.
There's no other way.
Please, Dad, I'm asking you as a family organizer.
Didn't you resign, X?
But I resumed the position.
Look how things are going without me.
Okay, even a rubot can handle those locks.
It'll be fun.
Do we have to wear these masks?
Yeah, rule number one of breaking and entering: always look like someone else.
This is the life.
The cyrgonomes are really pumping.
Don't have too much fun, Dad.
It won't happen again.
Come on, Dad.
How could I have been talked into this?
You're madly in love with X, so I don't want her to be a guinea pig.
-You're talking.
-It's obvious, Colin.
You're really funny.
She beat you and yet you give your blood to save her.
-How romantic.
-You're about to get your ass kicked.
Wait there!
It's harmless.
-Is it?
-Yes, I have it.
Come on, let's go.
What's the matter? Did you hurt yourself?
No, but don't run so fast.
I was down last night.
I'm glad you hit me.
-You think so?
-No, but I can live with it. Come on, let's go.
Revenge.
Dad wanted to run away again.
No, Daddy!
As if that wasn't enough, Michelle moved into the house next door.
As soon as the boss saw her, he knew he could use her against me.

Great, you're a living take-away service.
It's better than what you buy.
