Halfway Across the Galaxy and Turn Left (1993–…): Season 1, Episode 27 - Trial by Lava - full transcript

How would we save X?
-Where are the flyouts?

Colin and Jenny left.

On their way to headquarters, they left behind a trail of candy.

I was worried they'd try to drive her crazy.

Dad was in trouble too...
with the nosy Miss Bloom.

Qwrk missed her so.
He was always playing the violin.

Such passionate sadness.

A sniffer robot had been following Colin and Jenny.

They tried to escape but ran into the boss.

They ended up in X cell.

The worst part was that X was brought to trial.



We're with you!

And punishment.

Secure the prisoner.

Very good.

No way out. No turning back.

It was all pointless.

Did you think you could escape me?

I would have chased you through a thousand galaxies.

I hope it's the right person this time.

That's right, Principa.

This is X, the traitor.

I'm not coming through.

Come on, we can make it.
Make an effort.

I've had it!



Don't get mad, you watch too much TV anyway.

Am I being reasonable, Dawn? Am I?

Can I answer one question at a time?

Time to fight back.

The longer we're gone, the less power we have.

Dovis can't send us because the boss would find her.

What can we do?

I wonder if a microtrans screw wouldn't work.

The criminal, you see, shamed Zgrgon twice.

First when her tar cheated the lottery, 27 times in a row!

Then she helped him and his family escape...

to the blue planet full of all the galaxy's renegades.

On Earth, as they call it...

she ignored her duties and made friends with the locals.

She allowed the family to be disloyal to Zyrgon and loyal to each other.

And they had so-called "fun".

I understood that this had to be eliminated...

so I traveled across the galaxy.
-You're Dovis, aren't you?

They're friends.

They're friends.

Remember me? We trained for cosmic flights together.

Of course I do, Nedis.

But what a wonderful reward, citizen of Zyrgon.

To see her so degraded.

The footon microwaves are penetrating the thick lateral layer.

-Come on, hurry.
-Let's go, let's go!

The defroster's getting Zyrgon in.

They used simulation and...

-They've got X!
-It's her trial.

With my colleague Jady's help...

...I've brought her to justice.

On the blue planet, she led her family in all kinds of inappropriate behavior.

Among other things...

Eating ice cream, rock 'n roll...

shopping, sports...

-Shopping? Did you say shopping?
-Shopping, Principa.

What is it?

It's what earthlings do.

Go on.

Sometimes by themselves, sometimes with willing colleagues.

They wander aimlessly in large buildings full of... goods.

-Goods?
-Unnecessary things.

They buy these things...

take them home and ask each other what they think.

-What's the point?
-None at all.

They do it for... pleasure.

Fun?

I wonder how they like their own medicine.

-What are you doing, sweetheart?
-We're doing a little interrupting.

Case closed.

Defense attorney?

No defense, we'll obey whatever punishment you mete out.

The sentence should also include the groundlings.

Col-in and Jeni-fer.

May I not speak?
I have that right.

You have no right to anything.

I'm afraid he's right, children.
It's time to pass sentence.

You haven't heard my side.

That's right, because we don't want to.

Release the prisoner.

You can't do that.

What are they gonna do to poor X?

In my capacity as Principa of Zyrgon and its moons...

I find the prisoner guilty.

-What?
-Do something, Qwrk!

-What happened? Hurry up!
-I don't know.

Guilty! She'll probably end up in the lava.
My girl...

Anything can happen.
A trial well done.

-How can they?
-Because we let it happen.

Now it's time for the punishment.

But before then, there are several things I wonder about.

What is ice cream, for example?

It's a frozen delicacy.
My favorite is strawberries.

One bite, and it feels like H73 Chock's music in the falling snow.

Sometimes it's so cold my teeth hurt.

But it's worth it, because it's...
yummy.

-Ice cream?
-What's your favorite?

On planet Blue, we have favorite things, like candy.

-Candy?
-Yes, try one.

Invite the others.

I've never seen one of these before.

The green ones are good.

They don't have them here.

The boss would never allow it.

If we change the government, he wouldn't have any power.

Speaking of yummy...
this is a banana.

Banana?

I'm peeling the banana.

Like sweet moonbeams.

There's banana ice cream and chocolate.

-Chocolate?
-Yes, chocolate.

Tell me about ice cream!

Tell me, tell me!

Tell me about Earth Dovis.

Where people make their own decisions and families decide for themselves.

Tell me.

I hope it's quick.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Bye.

It was Andrea who called.

She was wondering if you were going to the store.

I was wondering the same thing.

How can I go on?

We have to. Until she returns.

If she does.

That sounds pretty dangerous.

No, they do it at home and in so-called restaurants.

Restaurants?

-That's enough!
-Shut up, you!

What are restaurants?

People go there and pay others to cook.

Actually, my father has one.

-Does he cook?
-Yeah, he loves it.

Loves it? What's that?

It's the best thing about the earth, you learn to love.

That's far enough!

How dare you!

You like her, don't you?

You are weak.

Don't you understand that it's love and shopping that messes up the earth?

As head of the law, I pass sentence.

-You can't.
-Shut up, you ex-con.

Get her.

I find X guilty of violating Zyrgon.

I sentence her to be immediately thrown into the... lava.

-I want ice cream.
-I want bananas.

I want freedom!

Ice cream! Bananas! Freedom!

What are they shouting about?

Ice cream?

Ice cream, bananas, freedom!

-Let us through!
-What do you want?

Control them!

I want ice cream.

Ice cream, bananas, freedom!

Arrange it, Officer Jady!

But, boss...

Yes?

Well, I...

love...

you.

Do your duty, Officer Jady!

Ice cream, bananas, freedom!

Stay in the name of Zyrgon.

Ice cream, bananas, freedom.

Do you have your laser key?

-Where's X?
-With the boss.

Let me go, please.
It's not necessary.

It's my duty. You don't understand that.

I feel sorry for you.

You don't know how to be happy or have friends who love you.

Don't throw her in.
It's all over, the people are against you.

Arrest them.
Do as I say, guards!

I want ice cream. Chocolate ice cream.

Tell them to act as organizers.

No, we'll share the responsibility.

You! Hecla.

Let her go, she's just a child.

You traitor! This is treason.

It is your fault.

Let go of my friend.

Goodbye! Goodbye!

-Who will lead us?
-Principa and Authoritax are gone.

Are you leading us, Hecla?

No, we don't need leaders.
We can share the responsibility.

-X would have led us.
-Now she's gone.

Dovis, will you lead us?

-Me?
-You know all about ice cream and freedom.

I don't want to lead, I can't.
I'm not X.

We have to look for her.

Maybe she survived.

-She can't.
-Lox and Hecla did.

Nets are down.

Your friend's in the lava. I'm sorry.

She can't be! She's not dead.

Let's face it, X was sentenced to the lava.

Colin and Jenny too.

Maybe Dovis got away.

We put her in charge. Without protection, she'll get caught too.

They're not coming back.

I've got to reach them. I can't give up.

Do you feel anything?

You're in a good mood.

The TV is working perfectly and the cuckoo is sleeping in his nest.

I hope the neighbors don't get upset.

On the contrary, they seem calmer.
Not a peep has been heard.

I can't get through.
Something's blocking it.

They're probably worried sick.

-We should go back.
-No, we shouldn't!

None of us want to believe that.

Yorp was sure.

A day of mourning will be held.

For we have lost our liberator.

X gave his life for our freedom.

Greetings and farewell, X!
