Halfway Across the Galaxy and Turn Left (1993–…): Season 1, Episode 19 - Welcome to the Human Race - full transcript
But an 8-year-old astro-physicist couldn't perform, so Dad had to leave.
And Lox ruined all of Mom's costumes for the fashion show.
We kineticised fabrics.
Dad was so hopeless, Qwrk got him a radio.
Testing... testing. One, two, three.
It was going well until a pizza truck came onto our wavelength.
-Ham, olives and mushrooms.
-I'm sorry?
-2 Riley Street.
-Yes?
Qwrk simulated himself into a physicist.
What do you think of that, Mr. Jackson?
Father escaped and Qwrk took home the prize.
The day ended in triumph with Mother's modesty.
Then she dropped the bomb: an invitation to Paris.
-Are you going?
-Sure, it's the chance of a lifetime.
-You don't want her to go, do you?
-No, I don't want her to go.
-Then talk to her.
-I'm so bad at this.
-Why don't you try?
-You're the organizer, X.
-We'll get the notes.
-Yeah, wait there.
She wouldn't listen to me.
-Dad, where's the restaurant commercial?
-It's right there.
That means every mailbox and don't forget any.
Yes, we know.
Now we have family business to discuss.
How much do we get?
-A penny for each mailing?
-Yes, yes.
Great! One crown per piece.
That's all there is to it!
-Hello, boys.
-Hi, boys.
That smells wonderful.
-What is it, Father?
-It's the onion.
Oh, for cooking!
It's not the onion. He's sorry.
Sorry?
He doesn't want you to go.
Neither do we.
But getting divorced is earthly behavior.
You said we'd adjust.
I'm not always right.
Let me go, X.
I'll be a better mother later.
Don't you see? You've made me realize what I'm not.
And now I have to discover what I am.
Qwrk! Dovis! School.
Bye, baby! Have a good one.
Have a good one.
Did you write about family and society?
Yeah, boring!
Yes, but at least we have experience.
We don't have to go to the library because our own family is so crazy.
What do you know? Your heads are just full of nail polish and nastiness.
Be grateful you get to stay home
Why did you say that? What's the matter?
-Mom's going away.
-She is? Why is she going?
She got a job in Paris.
-Have you talked to her?
-Sure, but she wants to be free.
That's what my dad said.
That's one thing I hate about this place.
That people should be free.
It just means free to hurt the ones they should love.
It's not your fault. I thought it was, but it wasn't my fault.
It wasn't anybody's fault.
-In my case, I think it's my fault
-No.
Maybe my mom's running away from home because I've been too hard on her.
The love here is good in many ways...
but the bad is when people get close to you and break your heart.
Welcome to humanity.
The blue planet affects you.
If we were on Zyrgon, I'd get rid of you. You're the cheten after all.
Or was the boss...
I'm so sorry.
But since I've been on Earth, I've developed funny feelings...
that resemble sympathy.
Now that Mother is going away, I feel something else...
that feels strange.
Do you have a canned food function?
I'm too weak.
Enjoy your simple life without feelings.
We've made 150 bucks in an hour!
He'd agreed to 2 crowns a note.
-He's funny.
-But in a good way.
Thank you, ma'am!
The pleasure is all mine.
Do you like it?
Yes, what a shirt. Yes!
I think I caught something.
It's beautiful, Mother.
When I first came here, I didn't know what you liked. I do now.
You get to be a hero here like a cowboy...
a model or a movie star.
I couldn't be like this on Zyrgon. Here you can be yourself.
And cowboys have a lot of fun!
-We're asking for 500 bucks!
-We haven't given out 500.
-He won't notice.
-He won't notice.
Maybe the strawberry and leek pie?
That's my rubot...
I mean, my dishwasher is a robot.
I'm sorry, it's just so hard to get good staff these days.
Enjoy your meal...
of the pies...
Who's that guy?
Jackson, we handed them out.
Can we have 500 now?
-That's too much.
-Not now!
-You have to pay, we did the job.
-No, we didn't.
Where is he? Where's the renegade?
Back off, kid. You're scaring the fish.
Get back here!
-We did the job.
-Not now, we didn't.
Give me a hand here!
Okay, four hundred and we're good.
-Come on, let's go.
-Yeah, but it's theft.
Thanks, guys. Put it down...
-The skimmer's back.
-Kuta! He's dangerous.
He won't get away with this gang either.
Colin, Jenny! Where are you guys?
We are here.
-The Skimmer's back.
-Who's back?
-The guy in the fancy dress.
-The one who attacked us.
-The boss?
-He's chasing your dad.
Stay here.
-The boss is back.
-That's impossible.
-Father got rid of him.
-No, he didn't.
-Where's Father?
-I hope the boss doesn't have him.
Oh, dear. What are we going to do?
We can handle him if we gather our mental strength.
And mine.
All your strength will probably be wasted.
The guy in the fancy dress is back.
-What are you guys doing?
-It's called surveillance.
-What's it called?
-Someone has to do it.
-They have to be watched, Mom.
-Don't be silly.
Come and have dinner right away.
If you knew what was going on..:
I don't want to know.
Does privacy mean anything to you?
-Yeah, normal people deserve it.
-They're okay.
With those clothes and that car and those friends?
Isn't it weird to watch people?
Not if you're normal.
-It's the boss.
-This is the end.
Where's Father?
Look, electrical problems again.
Here we go!
-The grid is full.
-Mother...
Hold hands and prepare.
This is a matter of life and death.
Father, that you always...
Concentrate. You too, Lox.
It's not my strong point.
The boss is here.
-Where's Mother?
-I don't know.
-Who let you in?
-I came in the back way.
-Then who was it...
-It was me.
What have you done with Mother?
It's you and your father I want.
You're under arrest.
No, let me be!
I'll take you to Zyrgon.
Immediately. Permanently.
Now, all of you. Concentrate!
Go.
I was going to take you alive, X.
But I'm not gonna mess around.
It's fitting that you meet your fate on this chaotic planet.
That's how you've lived your life.
Help me, please!
-Here, but no further.
-Lox!
Let's ride, cowboy!
Watch the shirt!
Hold on to him.
What do we do now?
-In the clickoscor trophy!
-In it?
Dad, help us now!
I'll get you for this.
I am Zyrgon's supreme authority.
No, Qwrk. It's evil.
...if I am not released.
No Guardian will surrender...
until you are returned to Zyrgon and justice there.
There's yours for trying.
-You want him to stay here?
-Hold hands, we're going to kinetize.
-Where to?
-Anywhere, but far away.
-The creep is gone!
-And the trophy...
-Good job, man.
-Don't come back.
Mother?
Mother, what has he done to you?
Mother, can you hear us?
I'll do anything.
She can go to Paris.
Am I in Paris?
-Ici Paris, n'est pas?
-You're all right!
A little shaky, that's all.
You had a nasty shock.
The woman is drunk.
I can't believe you can fight like that, Lox.
You should have seen it.
He jumped on his back...
-Where did you learn that?
-At rocket school?
-No, I didn't.
-The Freedom Fighters?
-No.
-Who did?
Who was it?
The Duke, John Wayne!
I would have liked to keep the helmet, but X will always destroy.
No, Qwrk. It was evil.
But I could have had fun with it.
She was so drunk, she thought she was in Paris.
Listen up, I want to warn all students about a very nasty guy.
Apparently he's wearing a black uniform.
So if anyone sees this weird guy, who is dangerous....
please notify teachers or parents immediately. Thank you.
Miss Harrou, we saw him go into Charlotte's house.
It was the party of the world there, so the lights went out.
Really?
It wasn't a party.
He just came like a flash...
-Is he a friend?
-Is he a friend? Not a friend at all.
-Then what is he?
-I can't explain. From Peru.
This is serious, Charlotte.
It's all right.
He flew away yesterday.
-He's left the country?
-Yes, you could say that.
I hope you're telling the truth.
Yes, Miss Harrow.
He's far away.
And Lox ruined all of Mom's costumes for the fashion show.
