Halfway Across the Galaxy and Turn Left (1993–…): Season 1, Episode 23 - The Writings on the Wall - full transcript
I fell in love with the dress immediately, but how could I afford it?
X turned me into a 17-year-old so I could get a job and buy it
Unfortunately, I turned out like Dovis.
I met the guy of the world at the arcade and we went out.
We talked and then he kissed me.
Great, but David thought Dovis was cheating on him.
Then she realised what had happened.
Now the Hohenhauska quisling will see!
To make matters worse, Qwrk broke the pinball game.
I'm tired of being 17.
Luckily, David and Dovis made up.
All ended well.
Even X thought so!
-"I hate Miss Bloom." Right?
-Okay.
-Or "I hate school."
-Hurry up.
-Let's go!
-Shut up, I'm losing my concentration.
Do it a little faster. Let's go, let's go!
Watch out, teacher!
Here! Here! "Charlotte Jackson."
-It's locked?
-Not for long.
Hurry up.
Charlotte, come here...
Charlotte?
I just can't believe it.
Good morning, Charlotte.
-When did you get home last night, Dovis?
-Quite late.
I was studying with David Carruthers.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
You're old enough to know what you're doing.
-What's up, X?
-I'm good.
Where were you last night, Kloker?
I found a cool water tunnel.
-What were you doing there?
-Hanging out.
What's that slang?
I was staying away from school and my sassy sister.
I wouldn't take it.
Not from my brother.
You're so relaxed today, X.
It's a beautiful morning and I'm sure it'll get even better.
-Charlotte, what's going on?
-What did Miss Bloom say?
You know what I'm talking about.
There's graffiti all over the school wall.
Graffiti? What?
I'm not stupid.
I saw you run out of here.
-I yelled for you to stop.
-I didn't hear you.
Does anyone else have access to your locker?
-No, I don't think so.
-Then come with me.
Open it.
Well, Charlotte?
-You don't think that I...
-What should I think?
You were seen fleeing the scene of the crime, the spray can is in your locker...
to which only you have a key.
What a mood! You really want to take that away, orange is my favorite?
-She didn't like your artwork?
-It's not mine.
She feels sorry for herself.
Come when you're done, and we'll buy you a milkshake. It's only fair.
-You wrote graphite in school.
-Sit down.
-You did, didn't you?
-Yes, we did.
-Don't you even deny it?
-No, I'm not.
You're catching on slowly.
Life is unfair.
Because people like you don't play by the rules.
Well, you've certainly earned the right to play by the rules.
What are you talking about?
Think about it, you're the perfect student. Just fives and never a hassle.
But as soon as something like this happens, they think you're guilty.
Miss Bloom didn't even listen to you, did she?
It was like she'd already made up her mind.
Why do we always get in trouble?
Because for some reason, they've decided we're making it up.
Who gets blamed first?
Us, of course.
What's the point of being a good brother? You don't get anything for it.
What you want, you take.
Look at that.
If you dare, you can do anything.
There are two kinds of people.
Winners and losers.
Be a winner too.
Get it!
Hey, are you going to pay for that?
You little rascals. I'll call your parents. You won't get away with it.
-Did you see the look on his face when we left?
-Classic!
I forgot my flyer with my name on it. What are we gonna do?
-"We"?
-You're solo, dummy.
-Why did you do that?
-I didn't do anything.
I didn't do it.
Who wasn't you?
The one Miss Bloom saw vandalizing the school?
The one who stole from Gino's ice cream parlor?
Or which one?
Neither... Both!
-I'm completely innocent.
-Really?
Yes, it's a mistake.
-I can explain.
-Then do it.
Why bother?
You won't believe me anyway.
-X, we have to talk.
-No!
This is my room and you're not coming in.
I don't understand this.
It's so unlike you.
What are you sorry about?
Come on, let's go.
Maybe it'll help.
It's like stealing and...
writing things on walls is wrong.
You shouldn't say something that's been a thief and a gambler all your life.
X, I love you more than anyone in the galaxy...
but if you refuse to listen, I have no choice.
You're grounded.
You mean "grounded."
That too!
It pains me to do this...
Doesn't anyone think I'm innocent?
Lox can help me.
-Can I come in?
-It's a free planet.
You were trying to send a thought transmission to Zyrgon, weren't you?
But you never got through.
I could feel it on me.
Our powers are weakening.
We're merging with life here.
-We're becoming less Zygon.
-What are you talking about?
-I know it's hard...
-Then become an earthling. I'm not! I'm not!
Nothing changes until I say it does.
Go away and leave me alone.
I don't know. I don't know.
No way!
She's gone!
Look, look, look.
"Nobody needs me, so I'm leaving I'm tired of adults, of everything"
"I'm going to keep to myself for a while. X."
You got the flashlights?
It'll be dark soon.
-You know where to look?
-Yeah, I know where to look.
If you see or hear anything, what do you do?
-Call you here.
-I'll call you back.
Thanks for your help.
Are you there, X?
Can you hear me?
She's not here, Colin.
You're her brother.
What kind of places does she hang out?
Hanging out in places... Slang language...
-What's that?
-It was just something X said.
-And?
-Where would you go if you were sad?
-The water tunnel?
-Come on, man.
I'm going in. Call your dad.
Can you hear me?
No, it's the boss!
Is that you, X?
It's me, X.
X? It's me, Colin.
Chasing X, family organizer...
Best test results on Zyrgon...
Not the lava! Not the lava...
Should we take her to the hospital?
They'll test and see that we're aliens.
-What if she's really sick?
-Terrible thought.
What are we going to do?
What would X do?
-I'm home!
-Mommy!
It's so good to see you and Mortimer.
Colin and Jenny, how nice to see you.
You've changed, but you look absolutely wonderful.
Where's X?
I'm not a rubot... Go away...
Don't throw me in the lava. Not the lava.
Dad...
I had the strangest dream.
I dreamt that mother was home again.
Mother!
My poor little girl!
What is it?
What happened while I was away?
Mother, nothing's right anymore.
Everyone hates me.
They blame me for things I didn't do.
I've ruined everything.
-I've failed as an organizer.
-X, you haven't failed.
You've done so well, you don't have a job anymore.
You brought us across the galaxy to the safety of this...
...made sure we weren't discovered until we were on our own.
-I've made a lot of mistakes.
-Be good to yourself.
Things will look brighter in the morning, so try to get some sleep.
Now we'll always be together.
Seven, did you see? You can't beat that.
No, six is my record, and it took weeks of practice.
-Can I try?
-Sure.
Isn't that...
I don't think I need this anymore.
