Halfway Across the Galaxy and Turn Left (1993–…): Season 1, Episode 20 - We're Them Now - full transcript
We were sad because mother was leaving us. At Zyrgon we have no feelings.
Love makes people come close to you.
When you're not used to them, they hurt terribly.
We had other worries, the rubot ate lots of sugar...
He became the boss again. Luckily, father escaped.
The boss left for Renmarksgatan.
-What shall we do?
We were completely at his mercy.
-It was me.
It was a hell of a fight. We all fought, but he was too strong.
We would have lost if it weren't for Qwrk and Lox.
We put him in the trophy and sent him into space.
Hopefully, that was the last we saw of him.
Tell it like it is, X. You like this?
Everything is less complicated on Zyrgon.
Here you can be yourself...
...everything gets messed up.
Do you dislike it?
It's funny, here it's so free but I can be myself.
-Do you feel more like X, Charlotte?
-Yes, I do.
Why do you feel that way?
-At Zyrgon, you do what the government says.
-I'd hate that.
I can never go back.
But people were easier to understand.
Parents in particular.
Kids aren't supposed to understand their parents.
You think so?
I didn't understand why Dad left.
I thought we were happy.
He couldn't explain why.
It scares me, emotions make you do unexplainable things.
That never happens on Zyrgon.
You don't have feelings there.
I want Mother to stay.
I love her, emotions make you selfish.
It's not selfish to need your parents.
You live here, Colin. What do you think?
I suppose they want to be happy, like us.
If things go my way, Mother will be unhappy.
If she gets what she wants, I'll be miserable.
There's always a catch. What are you gonna do?
I want her to be happy.
The boss should be home soon...
with that disgusting X.
Mission accomplished.
He asked me to ask for a parade in his honor.
He who is late would miss his own parade.
He's probably flying at hyper-speed on the way back.
From where?
He didn't say exactly.
Halfway across the galaxy somewhere.
A small solar system in the shabby part of the Milky Way.
What are you guys doing? We're late.
It has to be today, Mickie More is very busy.
Pull yourself together. In the entertainment business, you have to look happy.
Are you kidding?
I feel silly looking happy when Mother's leaving.
-Maybe we should postpone the audition.
-This is our chance.
Just because we're smiling doesn't mean we don't care, inside.
Soon the bell will ring, you'll have detention.
-What if we get caught?
-We'll only miss an hour.
-But Qwrk.
-We want to be famous, don't we?
-Be stars?
-Of course we do.
Come on, then.
My mind is in a stormy ocean.
Fish are part of me.
I know what you mean, don't call us.
Hi, I'm Mickie Tlare, come closer.
-You're the kid with the bug, right?
-Yes, I am.
Right on time, I like that.
More musicians should follow the golden rule...
Getting in on time.
Get in on time.
Keep time?
Just a relaxing joke.
You don't exactly look like stars, what with the uniforms and all.
-We can change.
-Cute.
We're looking for someone to join us on a land tour.
-Can you travel?
-Yes, I can.
We're looking for something wild and unusual, you know?
-Shark?
-New dimensions, beyond the planet.
No problem.
Is your mom still going to Paris?
Can't you persuade her?
With your special powers, you couldn't get inside her head?
They do on Zyrgon.
She must want to stay on her own.
-Have you seen Qwrk and Dovis?
-No, I have not.
Well... I think you two could really be something.
-Where did you learn to dance, gading?
-Zyrgon.
-At Zyrgon's dance academy.
-Interesting technique.
The music is very unusual. Who wrote it?
-H73 Chok.
-Wild.
Your group is good but it lacks two things...
Volume, your volume should be much higher.
And shock them. Deafen and shock them and they will go home happy.
If you're loud and crazy tomorrow, you'll get a contract.
The finger solder still works.
Thank you, Zyrgon.
We're going on tour, traveling, seeing the world.
Good, isn't it?
-What's the matter?
-A special microphone for the violin.
It's nice, what does it do?
Listen!
He wanted volume, so that's it.
-Bravo.
-I think Mickie's getting the hang of it.
-Can you turn it down?
-No, just turn it up.
It's time for shock clothes.
Dovis and Qwrk weren't in the study.
-Did they come home for lunch?
They were at an audition.
-Why wasn't I asked?
-Because you should have said no.
They've been working well today.
Qwrk is fixing his violin and Dovis is coming up with a new image.
I'm so proud, she's taking after my style.
That makes two of us.
There's no point in pushing down talent, they're going to be famous.
Open the door at once.
We're busy.
You'll have to stop that.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
We can't quit. We're going into the entertainment business.
Stop talking. I didn't let you do this.
You can't... you mustn't.
This is our chance to be special, to travel, to be famous.
I think you're jealous.
Come on, let's show Lox.
You're hooked!
-What do you think?
-Straight cch rolls!
-Where are you going?
-We're going to be stars.
-This is the uniform.
-Otherwise they don't think you're talented.
It makes you think about yourself.
Have you noticed?
We think it's weird because at Zyrgon you're not allowed to do that.
I didn't think about why I was a pilot; it was just decided.
I know what I really want to be, a freedom fighter.
I want to be a famous dancer.
I'm going to follow my heart, like a mother.
I want to follow my heart too, but not here.
But at Zyrgon.
I know how John Uayne does things and I want to do the same.
That's nice.
I just want to be an ordinary hero who risks his life for his friends.
Lox is going to Zyrgon to fight for truth and justice.
That's great. Can you give me a ride to Paris?
I tried to book a plane ticket but they said I had to have a passport.
No problem.
Allo, mon cherie, I'm going to Paris.
Hey, what do you think?
Shocking, super shock.
Excellent, just what we were looking for.
-Where are you going?
-To the top. We're going to be famous.
We're gonna tour the country.
-Tour?
-We're going to an audition now.
-Can I come?
-I don't see why not.
Kids, you look great.
Good hair and style.
Do you have anything new to go with the new style?
How high do you want it?
-Violins have limits, don't they?
-Not this one.
Put your earplugs on.
Decibel doesn't scare me.
I played with El Suicide.
Good luck!
-Is that your manager?
-That's right.
Good, good.
Okay, go ahead.
What can I say?
I'm overwhelmed.
You definitely have opportunities, but you're new and green, so it's gonna take some time.
The sound of the violin is really something.
-What kind of microphone do you use?
-Homemade.
That's clever. You've patented it, of course.
-What's that?
-Don't worry about it.
It's all cleared up in the contract I drew up.
Did you like my dance?
It was superb.
Sign it, and we'll get going.
They're not old enough to write on paper themselves.
Aren't you too young to be a manager?
Rock 'n' roll is for young people. Didn't you know that?
Astrella and George.
It makes me proud when my famous children come to Paris.
I haven't given my permission, so they may not go anywhere.
-Don't be so mean.
-We have a chance to be famous.
We want to travel and be special.
You can't have everything.
You ruin everything because you're jealous.
The contract is theft. He gets 80% of everything.
Eighty percent?
Mickie More takes 80 cents out of every dime you get, 10 cents each.
-What difference does it make?
-Dovis!
It applies to everything you do, your songs... new technology...
My microphone! He can't have it.
Only one thing to do!
-We're not leaving.
-Or be famous.
I hope you're happy now!
I'm trying to get the family together.
I didn't want you to go too.
I don't want to be left behind.
I'm sorry for what I said.
You were right. I was jealous.
You seemed to be having so much fun.
You take everything too seriously.
Somebody has to.
We share the same now, you're not alone anymore.
I'm glad you're my sister.
Do you have everything?
I don't need you.
Oh, I didn't mean it like that.
I meant you should sleep and I can look after myself now.
I have to when I'm alone.
-Where's my bag?
-It's right here.
-Thank you, darling.
Tomorrow I'm going to be happy and sober, a good example.
So should I.
You've set a good example.
You brought us to a place that's been good for us.
For the most part, anyway.
We're earthlings now.
Funny, I felt so guilty dragging you here.
Sometimes you're so sweet.
We've adapted to Earth life, just like you wanted.
Now you're the one tightening the reins.
Do you have to go, Mother?
These earthly feelings are so strange.
It's like catching a cold like they do here.
At last! Isn't it exciting?
Packed and ready, see you!
I've learned a lot.
Goodbye, Dovis. Goodbye Qurk.
Don't be too strict, X.
Father, I hope all goes well with the restuarant.
We're not like that.
We're not us anymore, we're like the people here, now we're them.
Take care of each other, please.
That's so sad.
Au revoir, ma famille.
