Halfway Across the Galaxy and Turn Left (1993–…): Season 1, Episode 15 - Hearing a Different Drummer - full transcript
Poor Qwrk felt alone on earth.
Dovis, I'm a spaceman who also plays the violin.
He wanted to be like other boys and do "skateboarding".
X was no help.
Father and mother wanted...
We were going to be parents.
Kan made a friend after he explained the math behind skateboarding.
We forbid you to play with the Belluood gang.
But Qwrk was desperate.
-A surprise punishment!
So he disobeyed his father.
Father somehow managed to punish him.
Just one more time?
Thanks to Qwrk's scientific advice, his friend passed the test.
And Qwrk felt accepted.
Three championship points against the leading champion...
X, are you there? It's Lox.
Can you hear me?
Hey, look! Wonder who that is?
Lox or Hecla.
Nobody else knows we're here.
Here we are! We're over here.
-X, it's me. Does it reach you?
-Lox and his sense of place.
Can you hear me? You gotta help me.
I need a place to hide.
You turned us in to the boss and now you want help?
Yeah, that's right.
Remember, he warned us...
What's your hurry?
The guardians of the law are making life hopeless on Zyrgon.
-But aren't you with Yorp?
-Yes, and it's probably worse.
-What's wrong?
-I have a clean uniform now.
-Forget it, Lox.
-But X!
I'll take care of it. He's trouble.
Nice to hear from you. Bye-bye!
...and celebrating.
What a great victory in the end.
Everything's back to normal.
-But who won?
-The one who's always moaning.
Everybody groans!
Clive, forget it.
Just sit down and relax.
-Who was the mind transmitter?
-Just Lox. It's all right.
I really need some help here.
Why don't we get the rubot out of the shed?
Just for a few hours?
No, what if the Froggatts see him?
-Where's Dovis?
-Out with David. She said something about dancing.
-Dancing?
-She comes and goes like everyone else.
-What if she doesn't like me?
-Everybody likes you.
So you're David who called, and you're Astrella, of course.
Yes, my sister heard about your dance school...
I rarely take on new students, but your friend was so charming and persistent.
Would you like to show me what you can do?
Come on, you don't have to be nervous.
But you're definitely very nervous?
I've never shown anyone my dance before.
I've seen most of it hundreds of times.
What's going on?
-It's them!
-Who?
The Scarce Jacksons!
-But what do they have to do with this?
-It never happened before they got here.
I think Michelle might be right.
-Mother, can't you talk to her?
-X?
No, Mother!
You're my family!
-Bellwood needs his good taste.
-Please, X?
Where did you come from?
Where did you learn to dance like that?
You're not from around here, are you?
We're from Peru.
That's not South American dancing.
No, it's not.
What kind of dance is it?
-What are you hiding, Astrella?
-Nothing.
I've been a dancer and a dance teacher for many years...
...and I've never seen choreography like this.
You're one of the most talented dancers who's ever auditioned here.
But dance requires something more to be perfect.
And that's the truth.
You'll never be a great dancer if you're not honest with yourself.
And with your audience.
You're hiding a lot, aren't you?
He's terrible.
Why did I agree to this?
-And he's a rocket scientist?
-Space shuttle pilot.
And the fewest in the galaxy.
She borrows my railing, then hides it.
Jen, where's my railing?
She can never borrow it again.
Things start to go south when Lox is around.
Colin, I came to talk to you. Forget about your railing.
-You're different, X.
-You're different, X.
You're like you used to be.
A real nag.
I'm an organizer.
Live life!
-Wife to tennis!
-I can't do it.
I guess I'll have to go without you.
My old railing's in the shed.
Colin, don't you understand?
-So you don't think I'm being honest?
-I didn't say that.
I just agree with Emilia.
You're hiding something.
-Like what?
-I don't know, you're not saying anything.
You're not telling me everything, are you?
But I want to.
I like you so much.
And in a relationship, honesty is very important.
Seven aces!
I hope the selection committee was there.
Colin Roland, the superstar destined for greatness, serves another ace.
Don't you ever get tired of imitating?
Wish X had been here anyway.
I thought you'd forgotten about her.
It's probably been five minutes since you mentioned her.
-I was saying...
-I heard you.
-I'm just talking. It doesn't mean anything.
-No, it doesn't.
I'm just being a bitch because she's from another planet.
Of course you are.
We're just friends.
I'm not in love with her or anything.
Who said you were?
-Anyway, you have a rival.
-What?
-No!
-What is it?
When I took my railing, I forgot to lock the shed.
You don't mean...
I have to tell you.
Otherwise, I'm living a lie.
With what?
When you have a secret and you don't tell your friends.
-You have to be honest in relationships
-What is it?
I'm not sure, but David says it won't be a good one...
if you don't tell the truth about yourself.
That sounds dangerous, Dovis.
You can't tell me about Zyrgon.
What does? David must promise not to tell anyone else.
The answer is no. Those are the rules.
And who made that up? You did.
Like all the other rules.
I think you just want to look important.
I'm older than you and I'm going to do what I think is right.
If I'm not honest, I could never dance like they do here.
Hello? Hello, Jenny.
Bring chocolate? What for?
David, I have something important to tell you.
I knew you were hiding something.
The truth is, I'm not like other girls. I'm different.
No, that's why I like you.
But I'm very different...
-I'm not of this world.
-Tell me something I don't know.
The truth is, our name isn't really Jackson.
We're not from around here.
We're Zyrgonians.
Our name is Karrukenstein and we're from Ukraine.
Nobody cares about that stuff anymore.
But I'm from Zyrgon!
Listen, this country is new to a lot of people. Zyrgon or Schmergon...
What a relief.
I thought it was a dark secret.
-That's all right, then?
-Not at all.
Not as long as you're mine.
Come on, Emilia's waiting for us.
-Colin, grab it. Throw it over the net.
-You should see the kitchen!
It's eaten all my sweets and my Easter eggs.
Rubots don't behave like this.
Unless...
-What if the boss clones himself back?
-That's impossible!
On Zyrgon, yes.
But Earth is different.
-What are we going to do? .
-It can't be here.
-We have to get rid of it.
-Where?
In the river!
I've never seen anyone learn so fast. Put on something warm.
That was particularly impressive since you didn't like it.
Yes, I liked it.
Astrella, you have to be honest or it won't work.
I like my own dancing better.
Then I think you should keep doing it. Ballet doesn't suit you at all.
Not until you can be honest.
Your body reveals your innermost secrets, and you have secrets, don't you?
You must make up your mind.
The secret or the dance?
Well, Astrella?
I thought so, but don't give up.
I think ballet would be a waste of time for you.
You were fantastic today, but yesterday you were magical.
You're listening to different music, Astrella.
One day I hope to work on your own dance.
When you're ready.
Who knows? Maybe then you'll be ready to tell me the truth.
If you and David wait a little while, we can have tea.
She asked us to have tea here.
-Yes, but what did she say about the dance?
-That I hear different music.
What does that mean?
It means you do things differently than other people.
But we already knew that.
-Close your eyes.
-Close what?
Please, close your eyes.
-What are you doing?
-It was just a kiss.
Astrella, I just wanted to kiss you.
That's all I wanted!
-Clive, what are you doing?
-You can see better here.
-See what?
-Them!
Aren't you a bit fixated?
I'm chairman of the Neighbourhood Watch.
If you cooperate, I won't have to drown you.
But you can't be trusted.
You old fart.
I just can't.
-X, I've been kissed.
-What happened?
David, who is so nice, suddenly became so...
People do this.
You'll have to get used to it.
I know parents kiss children, but it wasn't like that...
-What was it like?
-Worse... wetter.
David was just showing love.
I don't get it. Do you attack someone with your lips if you kiss them?
Yes, when people like each other, like you. Then it's normal.
It doesn't hurt, does it?
No, it's fine. When you get used to it.
-Have you tried it, Jenny?
-Sure.
Yeah, almost... once.
And I've read a lot about it.
What was it?
Look, it's Lox.
-Now what?
-Some creep outside Jackson's house.
-Who?
-The one with the weird clothes!
Some hippy-punk New Wave fool!
I don't see anybody.
You're blind.
He's standing over... over there...
-Might have been there before.
-Of course he was.
Maybe you should take a little vacation early this year, honey?
Lox, how did you get here?
Very primitive.
-How did you get here?
-In my space shuttle, you know.
-How did you get to the house?
-I walked.
You walked from the meadow... like that?
Yeah, sad, huh?
I left the parade uniform at home.
-Did you meet anyone?
-Yeah, funny they didn't know you.
-Did you ask for Dovis, X and Qwrk?
-Of course I did.
Welcome to Earth, Lox.
-Jenny, this is Lox.
Greetings from Zyrgon. Lox here.
You have to promise to behave, or you're going in.
Do you understand?
I shouldn't be doing this.
If X finds out, we'll both go in the river.
So... no noise, no tricks and no foolishness.
That'll be our little secret. Okay?
Dovis, I'm a spaceman who also plays the violin.
He wanted to be like other boys and do "skateboarding".
X was no help.
Father and mother wanted...
We were going to be parents.
Kan made a friend after he explained the math behind skateboarding.
