Halfway Across the Galaxy and Turn Left (1993–…): Season 1, Episode 22 - Growing Up Quick - full transcript
You can protect our country from strangers.
The Immigration Service came here.
What would we do, without any documents?
.. ...it shows on the screen.
Qwrk would get into their data.
But then it went bad.
Dovis ran out of water.
Michelle and Dallas took pictures.
The lady demanded an explanation.
But we came up with a good explanation.
Michelle and Dallas got their punishment.
Serves them right!
And Qwrk broke into the immigration office's computer.
Don't ask me how, but the investigator was satisfied.
We did it after all!
-Hi, honey.
-Hi, Mom.
-Can you lend me 370 kroner?
-How much?
Let's make it 350 even.
Jen, you know I can't spare that much.
What do you need it for?
It's almost spring break and I've seen the dress of the world.
I'd look a lot older.
I really need it.
I really need it.
Why are you in such a hurry to get big? These are your best years.
Mom, it's different now than it was before.
This is the '90s, and it's no fun being 11.
Well, one thing's the same and that's money!
If you want that dress, get a job.
Last ball.
-Great point.
-Never mind.
Yeah, come here when you're done playing.
It has to do with the vector and the irregular pattern.
A few calculations will solve it.
As usual, he's incomprehensible.
-Come on, Charlotte.
-Come on, Charlotte.
-Can you make me look 17?
-What?
There are jobs here if you're 17.
-Please!
-I can't do it.
You can simulate my age.
-I only do that in emergencies.
-It's an emergency.
That Jenny Roland wants to buy a dress?
Charlotte, have I ever asked you for anything before?
-Okay.
-Thanks, X.
But after the interview, you can be normal.
What if I get it and start right away?
-Okay, I'll wait until you're done.
-Yeah, should we do it now?
It's the first gang with an earthling.
I don't know anything about time or side effects.
I'll take my chances.
My powers are weaker.
Help me.
Close your eyes and concentrate.
Who do you want to look like?
Someone who's 17, mature, good-looking, popular...
Someone like Dovis!
Can't you do something a little more original?
No, I can't. It's perfect!
Now it's just a matter of acting like a 17-year-old.
30 crowns back and a coke.
It's all right, Astrella.
Thank you, Mr. Hohenhaus.
Call me Carl.
Go ahead.
Death Patrol is at it again.
Okay, well...
-Dovis, what are you doing?
-Hey, Qwrk.
You work here? Since when?
Earlier today.
-What are you doing with that?
-It's free.
Can I have some tomato blood?
What? Oh, what a funny name.
-That's what we say at home.
-Yes, that's right.
You came up with it.
Go on, I'm working.
Jenny, this never ends well.
But Charlotte, the guys' eyes are like ping-pong balls.
I'm being treated like an adult.
The sooner you get back to normal, the better.
-When do you stop?
-They close at 6:00.
I'll be waiting for you.
Now for the main courses...
marinated perch with...
No, strike that.
Moule provencale with remoulade sauce.
And lamb with pistachio nuts...
with herb butter a la Anchorage.
Absolutely superb!
Vectors... What are you doing?
The physics behind pinball.
I'm gonna build a machine and beat everybody.
You did good today.
Well done. Not everyone can handle the stress that well.
-Thank you, sir.
-Carl.
Thank you, Carl.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Astrella, I was wondering...
Would you like to...
Do you have any plans for the evening?
I was supposed to meet someone, but they can wait.
Can I buy you a hot dog?
Yeah, I hear they're good.
say those in the know.
Or better up. Let's have a pizza and a drink at my place.
-A drink?
-You don't drink?
Yes, very often.
What do you like?
Lemonade and ginger ale. I drink a lot of them sometimes.
Do you have a boyfriend?
I have friends who are boys.
No one in particular.
You're funny.
I mean, you're really hot, but not at all cocky.
I used to be different...
I seemed a lot younger before.
I'm not gonna say anything.
People think I'm funny.
-Why do they think that?
-It's the hubcaps.
Can you open it?
I'm busy.
I was just thinking about you.
My heart is heavy and my emotions are running high.
Maybe you should come in.
-I've heard about you and Carl.
-What?
Someone saw you eating pizza at Gino's.
What?
I want you to know that I'm willing to reason with you.
If you want to see other people, I won't stop you.
I wasn't at Gino's. I was here. Right, George?
Stop it, I'm busy.
You've been weird ever since I saw you at the arcade.
-The arcade?
-I had a hot dog.
We're both artists. We both know what the truth means. Is that a poet?
David, I don't know what...
Stop acting.
If you're feeling trapped, you should have told me.
I'm your boyfriend.
X...
Oh, ex-boyfriend.
I'll find the door.
Kryp, I'm having people over, so go play on the freeway.
-We were here first!
-But I'm here now, okay?
-Is Fiona busy tonight?
-Get out!
What are you doing here, Astrella?
-I'm working at the pinball arcade.
-I said, what are you doing here?
-Get out!
-Come on.
I'm glad you came.
But don't rush back.
I found these in Bellwood's junkyard like they were scrap metal.
It's not junk!
They're fascinating.
I don't usually show them.
Girls think they're boring.
But you're different.
That was Fiona...
-Who's Fiona?
-An old friend.
They say I've been out with Carl. What have you been doing?
Well, Jenny needed to look 17...
so I simulated her to look like you.
Why did you do that?
She needed a job.
She wanted to buy a dress so she'd look older.
X, how irresponsible!
For the sake of a dress!
I just wanted to help.
How could you?
People saw her with Carl.
David thinks I'm having an affair.
I didn't know this would happen. What do we do now?
We? How can you just ask me for help?
It's your disaster, you'll have to fix it.
-Would you like a drink?
-Yes, please.
-What?
-Lemonade.
Oh, yeah. I forgot.
We'll just get the papers...
Roland?
Frumpola?
Dovis... Astrella went that way.
I'll get her.
Is Astrella here?
-Yes, she is.
-She's fine.
She's not, but Jenny's in the dining room.
X, make me like Dovis now!
You're kidding. That's enough as it is.
They'll understand what you did.
Please, this is an emergency.
You should have done what we said.
Yes, it's my fault, but it doesn't matter.
Promise me I'll make you normal when we get home?
Sure, but hurry up.
-Where's Charlotte?
-With Jenny.
-Where's Jenny?
-They jumped out the window
-What were they doing here?
-I guess they were passing by.
Here's the soda.
-If the Jacksons are around...
-That's how things happen.
-Hey, I had a great time.
-I had a great time too.
And a little weird. I'll see you tomorrow.
You shouldn't have gone out with him.
I can't believe you let him kiss you.
He likes me, and I like him.
Wrong! He likes Dovis.
-No, he likes me.
-Jenny!
He likes my personality.
Tomorrow you're going to go over there and sort this out.
Yes, you're right.
Time to get normal. Give me your hands and concentrate.
-Concentrate. You're resisting.
-You're resisting.
-I can't do this.
-Well, that's all right.
-What if you're Dovis forever?
-It could be worse.
-Why?
-If we parted without a kiss.
Hit it.
Carl, we need to talk.
I was just about to say the same thing.
It's hard to...
There you are! Let's talk it out.
Then get in line.
Carl, do I look like I'm joking?
I am deeply hurt by your indiscretion.
I respect your need for a new partner...
but when I heard you kissed Carl!
-But, uh...
-Don't rub salt in the wound with lies
I'm already a beaten man.
It's gone too far. Now I'm going to face this quisling like a man.
-What did you say?
-Quisling.
You have no right to call me that.
Quisling. Noun.
One who betrays others.
Do you want him or me?
What's going on? Where's Jenny?
The pinball's got the game.
Carl, turn it off!
Look out, it's gonna blow!
-What's going on?
-It just freaked out.
Destroyed!
You should have done your job and not...
Listen, creep...
Astrella, can you...
David, would you mind if I spoke to Carl for a moment?
I guess so.
Try to understand, Carl. I like you, but I've been dishonest.
I have someone else.
I think we should just be good friends.
I'm glad you said it first.
I like you too, but I've made up with my girlfriend.
She's a secretary at the navel-gazing club. We're very close.
I understand, Carl.
-You're different than you were yesterday.
-I guess it was the full moon.
Well, I guess I'll...
David, this has been difficult for you and you have every right to be angry.
-I understand, but...
-Wait a minute.
Am I right in thinking that you want me back?
Do you really think I want to see you after what happened? Ever?
-Well, I...
-You're right. I've missed you so much.
X, I know why it's six years between 11 and 17.
It's a training period.
Even though I'm a dork, it's nice to be 11.
It's the inside that counts, right?
But looks can help.
Try it.
-Is it the right dress?
-It's the right dress.
