Halfway Across the Galaxy and Turn Left (1993–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - A Day at the Beach - full transcript
Everything had gone so well, the family had behaved excellently.
I convinced the teacher that I was normal.
Almost, anyway.
Strange.
But then Qwrk had to show himself.
Antonamasi... Autodithonis...
Dovis could have gone to a private school in the Andes.
I must admit that mother and father were quite convincing as Peruvians.
-The boy was the best in his year in Peru
-He was?
I hope I can make it with...
when Ilichelle ach Dallas comes to visit.
-Perhaps another time?
-Now's a good time.
Don't worry, I'll be there too.
I have a terrible feeling...
Let's go, Zeppy. How about a little speed?
Humiliation is coming!
There you are.
just like the other houses.
Aren't you going to invite us in?
Of course I am.
What was that?
Charlotte, you idiot.
-Don't let them in.
-Why not?
Something wrong?
Nothing.
Let's go in the back way.
-Look, it's perfectly normal.
-Yes, it is.
We want to see the whole house, don't we, Dallas?
There's nothing to see.
What's the matter?
It's pretty weird.
Not at all, everyone in Peru has one, sometimes two.
That's right; I've seen them in foreign newspapers several times.
-I haven't.
-What are you going to show me now?
How did all this get here?
-What would we do without our watch?
-Clock?
It doesn't just tell time, it wakes you up with chimes.
-It's great.
-But punctual.
It's been a lot of fun, but I don't want to keep you any longer.
Goodbye. Thank you for the honor of your visit.
Coveting zealots, what strange children!
Please, Aunt Hecla, let Michelle go.
She'll be gone soon.
-Her mother's expecting her.
-Waiting? She looks born to me.
It's nice to meet you, but run along now. Go! Get out of here!
I want to talk to my niece.
-Hecla.
-Dovis.
-Aunt Hecla.
-I haven't seen you in light years.
-Did you see my friends?
-How are things on Zyrgon?
I think we should go inside, at least until Dovis finishes his homework.
Hen X, you look skinny. You're awfully skinny.
-Thanks, but I'm fine.
-I'll bring you a mug of buttermilk.
A zeppelop.
Zeppy, this is the family.
-He likes me!
-He thinks you're his mother.
Hecla and everybody, please go inside.
Coveting zeppelin, look at it!
That's what they do here!
-How nice of you to come.
-Sister.
Don't let us keep you.
You'll want to get home for the feeding.
I thought I'd stay for supper and hear some gossip.
What have you done to your face?
You look so plain.
Please, X, let her stay for dinner.
I can cook a wonderful meal.
Okay.
Wait a minute, how did you get here?
I followed your scent.

Hey, look!
-What's that?
-I don't know.
Let's play cricket.
Stop. Stop it right now!
-Give me that.
-What for?
-It's not yours.
-Whose is it? We found it.
Put the pillows down.
Here you go, Shane. Take it. Get out of here!
-Give it back.
-No way.
Give it to me, it's not yours.
Give it back.
It's not yours.
-Give it to me.
-Never on my crowbar.
-Give it to me.
-It's ours, we found it.
-What's going on?
-She's trying to take our wood.
It's not a tree, it's trash.
It's our wood. We found it.
Shut up, Shane.
-Is it yours?
-No, it ain't.
-Whose is it?
-I don't know.
They found it so fair would be that they keep it, right?
Hi, Charlotte.
You're all dirty, what happened?
-Nothing. Nothing.
-Do you want to wash up here?
No thanks, I'm going to finish my run.
Hi, Charlotte.
Hi, kids.
I'm the family organizer, I'm in charge of all the important decisions.
I'm always in charge of the family.
-Hey, guys.
-Hello.
I came to ask...
It's Mom's idea.
She thought we should get to know each other.
Do you want to come on a pick-nick?
A pick-nick.
-Pick-nick.
-Pick-nick?
Yeah, on the beach.
The beach?
-Pick-nick on the beach.
-Hot sandwiches and juice and stuff.
If it's really nice, we can swim.
Don't you swim in Peru?
Of course they do, Jenny.
Those who can't, should learn.
We'd love to come.
For a beach on a pick-nick...
with a swim tomorrow.
"Sandwiches" invented by the Earl of Sandwich to be eaten at the gaming table
I like that.
I like being on the beach.
I like walking.
Where the band plays diddelidom dom dom.
I like being on the beach.
It makes me very happy.
Hey, look!
Hey, guys and girls.
-Here we are at the beach.
-For a pick-nick.
Have you guys met Hecla, my sister on the team?
Would you like to share our blanket?
We have plenty of room.
Thanks, where's your mom Jenny?
I'd love to meet her.
Someone got sick at work, so she had to take over.
-What a shame.
-I'm going for a swim.
-Can I come?
-Do what you want.
Wait for me.
-Are you coming?
-Not right now, but you go.
-Are you coming?
-Not right now, but you go.
-Take one, Mortimer.
-Thank you, Mortimer.
It's absolutely wonderful!
-It's delicious.
-Better than concocted food.
Take off your slippers, Father.
I like bare feet.
Let me put sand between them.
Are you all right?
Why wouldn't I be?
We know how hard it is, we're here to help.
The fundraiser was good this year, but I feel old.
I broke almost a rib, but I'm still going.
Three sets of twins this year, can you believe it? No way!
Long curved horns.
Hey, there. A visitor...
-Hi.
-Hello! Come on in.
Mr. Yoshida, what can I do for you?
I have...
Your lease, all in order.
How do you like it?
Mr. Yoshida, would you like a drink?
No, Aunt Hecla.
-Drink, it's raspberry.
-Call me Xavier.
Xavier, I'm glad you came.
Now we can sing together.
Three sets of twins this year.
Xavier, you haven't finished your drink. X?
Charlotte.
You've been drinking, haven't you? Bye.
Come back soon.
Sure, of course.
I'll come back later to make sure everything's in order.
You said everything's fine.
Goodbye!
We must send for Lox immediately.
-What for?
-To get Hecla.
She lowers the atmosphere in every house.
The sooner she gets to Zyrgon, the better.
I can't wake Lox. He's not answering.
I'll try to help.
What's wrong? What is it?
Who's on the line?
It's me, X.
What a pleasant surprise.
I know it's presumptuous, but Aunt Hecla must return to Zyrgon
-But she's just arrived.
-I know, but she has to go back.
Her ship's not working, and I want to arrange a ride.
I have news.
-Has the government fallen?
-No, I'm engaged.
Engaged?
-Engaged?
-To Jady, who works at the kiosk.
Aren't you going to congratulate me?
What's the matter?
Your silence makes the line vibrate.
Congratulations, give my regards to that girl.
Whoever she is.
Jady's planning everything. I'm getting something in gold with multicolored epaulets.
-I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
-Don't mess with Mother.
I don't care.
I convinced the teacher that I was normal.
