The Big O (1999–2003): Season 2, Episode 8 - The Third Big - full transcript

Do you think our relationship
is going to change?

It already is.

What do you
think you're doing?!

Are you having a little ceremony
because you miss our homeland'?

Let's get this show
on the road, shall we?

We have to let your master
see this show, as well.

What's the matter,
Big O?!

I... I'm one of the tomatoes...

I... I'm

I'm... the Dominus
of a Megadeus.

What's going on?!
Why don't you move?!

All units, open fire! Give the
black Megadeus some support!

What seems to be
the trouble, Negotiator?

So, does this mean you're just another
one of those rotten tomatoes?

What's the matter,
Big O?

Why?! Why don't you
do what I say?!

I'm not afraid.

I'm not afraid of memories
that I don't have!

What's that?

Dorothy?!
Who's sending this image?!

Chopping you up and utterly destroying you
will be all the more enjoyable...

...because I'll be able
to make him suffer, too!

What are you? A human?
An android like me?

I can't tell what you are.

I'm the boogieman!

Dorothy!

Dorothy!

Agent 340!

Why have you been
aiding that man...

...who has interfered with our operations
to rescue Memories from this gaudy city?

Aided? I haven't--

You're the boogieman...
Neither man nor machine.

Big O, are you sure?

Are you saying that you can
hold out until I get back?

Cease fire!

Damn it, what's going on?

Roger?!

Hey! Wait! What do you
think you're doing?!

Agent 271!

When did you become
a robot lover, Agent 340?

This will complicate
our future activities.

It's these acts of yours that
satisfy only your desires...

...that go against the best
interests of the Union.

You have some explaining
to do, Roger Smith!

The explanations will have to wait.
I'm in a hurry right now.

You're just going
to leave Big O there?!

Big O told me to go.

I-It what?!

Alan!

Alan!

Alan!

Stop it, Alan!

I'm going to humiliate the man who cares
for this android more than anyone else.

Don't you think this is a sufficiently effective
measure for our future activities, Angel?

More than anyone...

I... If I just...

You damn puppet!

And here I had hoped to let you
slowly savor the sensation...

...of me crushing every last bit
of that hard body of yours.

People try to be considerate,
and you step all over them!

Where will you
jump to now?

I'll smash you to pieces!

Wha--?

You Union scum.

I'll show you that you don't know
what you're getting into...

...when you defile this world built
by my father, Gordon Rosewater.

You...!

Looks like things have gotten
a bit complicated here.

Are you all right, Dorothy?!

Yes. I can't move my
right leg or left arm, though.

I'll have Norman fix you up right away.
You're safe now.

You'll pay for this.
Mark my words!

You're just a mere man
who's not even in a Megadeus!

What can you
possibly do to me?

That watch doesn't suit you.

You're a spoiled child who can't move
out of your father's shadow, Alex.

For your cowardly act of turning
your treaty with the Union...

...into so much scrap paper the instant you
acquired the Megadeus we had discovered,

this is the price
you pay!

Dastun!

Roger Smith, you're not
a police officer anymore.

The Military Police
will take it from here.

Dastun, this man isn't
a citizen of Paradigm City!

Roger!

Don't forget who you are.
You're a Negotiator!

Our showtime
will have to wait.

Hold it!

Roger...

You're as heavy
as ever, I see.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it.
You were right.

I wouldn't dream of taking away a job that
rightfully belongs to the Military Police.

But he was right under
my nose, and he--

Thanks, Dorothy.
What is it, Norman?

Oh, my Where on earth
are you, Master Roger?

I'd assumed that
you were in Big O.

Yes, well, I had business to see to,
so I left him, that's all.

Ah, is that so, Sir?

Sir, you really must do something
about Paradigm Dome soon.

Oops, you're right.

Norman, Dorothy's damaged.
Please come pick her up.

Very good, sir.

He's on his way, Dorothy.

You should take this.

Dastun? What's the matter?

It's always like this.

We don't have the power
to protect this city.

Only powerful forces that aren't in our
Memories, like that Megadeus, can protect it.

That's not true, Dastun.
Your people are doing their job.

It's just that there are some
cases that only Big O can--

It's all right.
I understand all that.

Get going.

Bonaparte!

Burn this gaudy
city to the ground!

The Union will retrieve the true
Memories from the ashes...

...and become the rightful
heirs to memory!

Big O...?

A white Big...!
The third Big, it's--

It's sooner
than I expected,

but this, too, must have been
predicted in the Memories.

Big Fau! Action!

Impossible! It can't
be operational yet!

Well, I'll be! I knew it!
I was right all along!

Big Fau was completely
restored all along!

So, it never had a Core Memory
in the first place!

It's the rightful Dominus Megadeum
that's the Core Memory! It's me!

This city is a stage.

Wha--?

We're actors who've been
placed on that stage.

We're nothing but actors
who aren't told...

...what's going to happen next,
or even what the plot is.

Why?

To keep your sanity.

It's only with these that can we prove
to ourselves that we are who we are.

It may be sad, but here and now,
that's the way it is.

All we can do is accept that
and protect others.

The instant we start
to have doubts...

Yes?

I don't know.

I'm sorry. I'm not all that smart,
so I can't put it into words very well.

What's wrong with you?!

Why?! Why won't you
do what I tell you?!

I'm...

I'm your Dominus,
Big Fau!

W-What?

Big O, Roger is coming back.
Thank you.

Big O, I've been operating
you up until now.

But for the first time, it was
you who called me to action.

Am I right?

It doesn't bother me
that you don't answer.

I know you
better than anyone.

Big O! Action!

Big O?

Roger Smith, what do you
think you're doing here?!

This is my Big!
This is my Dome!

I won't let you
interfere with--

The third Megadeus...
The third Big...

You're just another poor monster that's
cursed with Memories of the past.

W-Watch your mouth!

Iwon't stand for that,
not from a stray dog Iike--

W-What's wrong?!

Let me out...!
Please, let me out of here!
