Lexx 3.03 Gametown
I was sure she was dead.
As was I.
Well, you were wrong.
It is a miraculous recovery.
I'm not complaining.
You said that being able to tell is someone was dead or alive
was the special talent of a Divine assassin.
Killing people was my special talent,
that is correct.
I am normally very good at determining
the living or non-living.
How is it, May, that you are able to appear to be dead?
I don't know.
Maybe I was dead,
and I came back to life somehow.
I don't remember anything.
I'll die if you leave me!
Then we will have something in common.
And I will return, 790.
How many of these things do we need,
I mean, there's only three of us can fly them.
We can instruct the moth breeders to fly them, if the task is kept simple.
It will take many trips, as the Lexx has a large appetite.
So, Stan - you were there the whole time. What happened?
She was dead, and then, did she just - wake up?
Well, no, we thought she was dead,
and that is, that is what happened.
I was lying there, dreaming sort of,
and, er, and then I heard something
and I stood up and she was better!
She wasn't just better, Stan,
she was dead! Then she was alive. It doesn't make sense!
Well, you know, sometimes things just don't make sense.
She's still not feeling well -
I'd better go check on her.
What do you think, Kai?
I think - it does not make sense.
So, you don't remember anything, do you May?
I mean, from when we thought you were dead,
I mean, when you came to, you didn't see anybody here besides me,
did you?
No.
No, that's good, that's what I thought,
I mean, we were the only ones here, right?
I don't understand.
well, when you were dead -
I mean, when we thought you were dead,
I had a dream, and Prince was in it.
And I thought the dream was real,
I mean I thought Prince was really here, but he wasn't, was he?
He couldn't have been, because he's dead.
Exactly!
I mean, it was just a dream -
and anything, anything that happened in that dream wasn't real.
I mean, anything that Prince said wasn't real,
anything that I agreed to wasn't real,
so, I don't have to pay any attention to it, do I?
What's wrong?
Oh look, don't worry, don't worry.
Look, you're still weak, and I'm talking way too much,
so just lie back
and get some rest, OK?
OK?
So, Lexx -
first you go around one planet,
and then you go around the other, right?
Yes, Stan.
We are in a figure eight orbit.
So that means that once every orbit we're pointed
at the planet with all the water, and then later
you're pointed at the planet with no water, right? Yes, Stan.
That means
that if I asked you to, you could destroy
one of those planets when you're pointed at it.
Yes. I can destroy any planet when I am pointed at it.
Which one would you like me to destroy?
Oh, neither! Not just yet.
Um - but tell me, Lexx -
how long will it be before you're pointed at the water planet again?
I will be pointed at the water planet again in six and a half hours.
Why, Stanley?
Why what?
Why are you asking how long it is before the Lexx
is next pointed at the water planet?
Oh - I was - just curious.
Curious.
You'll be all right.
I'll make sure you'll be all right.
I am all right.
I'm all right because I'm with you.
Can I ask you a question?
It's only a hypothetical one.
OK, look, I was just wondering -
suppose that someone
cared about somebody else, you know, really really cared,
and that someone else was in trouble,
bad trouble, and it meant that they were gonna have to be killed,
and the only way to stop them being killed
was to kill somebody else, or some other people -
do you think it'd be wrong to do that?
How many other people
would he have to kill?
Oh, a few.
A relatively large few, sorta.
It does not sound balanced.
Yeah, but does that mean it's wrong?
One special person that you know is worth a lot of people that you don't know, right?
I mean, how often do you meet special people, I mean, they're one in a million at best, right?
She must be very special to you.
- Who? - May.
Oh, it's just a hypothetical question,
I mean, it's got nothing to do with reality.
Look, I just, I had a dream and it bothered me,
I was thinking about it, that's all.
So when are they gonna be ready?
They are ready now.
OK. So you're gonna take 'em, and you're gonna go get food for Lexx.
You're not gonna be down there that long,
I mean, you gotta come back right away to make more trips, right? Yes.
Xev. Xev - I got a question for you.
What?
- Are you going with Kai down there? - Yes.
I was hoping you'd stay here on the Lexx.
I may need some help with May.
I mean, her condition is precarious,
isn't it, 790? Yawn!
Look, I'm worried about her.
Will you stay and help me?
Follow me.
Land where I land.
Follow you.
Land where you land.
I miss him so badly.
Why didn't I go with him?
Because he didn't take you -
but I should have gone.
- Don't agree! - Why?
He likes to be alone.
Xev, it's always better to stay on the Lexx
and stay safe until Kai checks things out.
Why did you want me to stay here on the Lexx, Stan?
Well, because I care about May, I care about you.
I care about Mr Deatholicious.
But Kai's a guy, and you're a guy too.
I am not a guy!
No, he's a homo robot head.
- I am not! - Then what are ya?
I am a robot head in love with a dead man -
and I am a woman.
- I don't think so. - Neither do I.
I am! I am, I know I am!
I have a tiny fragment of a human brain
and it came from a woman.
And how do you know that?
I feel it.
Deep inside this hard metal casing lies a burning passion
that only a woman could feel for a man.
I still think I should have gone with him.
Kai won't be that long.
You won't be long, will you Kai?
I do not know what type of food is available,
or how difficult it will be to procure.
well, you'll eat just about anything, won't ya Lexx?
I eat all types of organic matter, Stanley.
I am very hungry.
Yeah, we know that Lexx, won't be long now.
Boy, I don't like these planets. The sooner we get away from here the better.
So, you plan to take her with us?
Well, everyone she ever knew is dead.
Well, maybe she'll want to stay on her own planet.
I don't think so.
I do.
How do you know she won't want to stay?
She won't have any reason to.
Why?
Well, I mean, I don't know,
that's just what I think.
Fine move, Bunny!
Just imitating your style, Brock.
Don't worry Fifi, you'll score next time.
Oh, so I missed, so what,
what's the big deal?
Anybody got a problem with that, huh?
OK, let's play.
What are they?
Go!
Ready,
aim -
Hang on, fellas.
Look, he's waving at us.
How long now, Lexx?
Forty nine minutes.
Greetings. I am Kai.
Welcome.
Good to meet you, guy. I'm Fifi.
Welcome to Gametown.
It looks like a nice place. It is.
You look familiar. Oh yeah?
You resemble someone who lived four thousand years ago.
Musta been a good looking guy.
What do you do here?
Play games, mostly.
ave a good time. Right? Yeah.
- Do you have food? - Oh, yeah, plenty.
Good. I would like to obtain some, for our ship.
Sure, no problem, whatever.
So, er - what do you do?
I was an assassin. I killed people,
but I do not intend to kill you.
Yet.
Look - I admit it.
I've always had a problem with girls
you know, but I think it's because I never ever,
not once
in my entire life
met one who was, er, really special,
you know, the one.
I mean, see, if all you wanna do with a girl
is just get her into bed,
she usually figures it out,
which makes it really hard to get her into bed -
you know what I mean.
So, look -
telling you this
is a really stupid strategy,
and I shouldn't be saying it, but -
but you're the one, May.
You're the one for me.
And, and I'm, I'm sure of it.
That's the right thing to say, Stanley.
Oh I'm really glad,
really really really glad.
I needed to hear you say that before I -
Before what, Stanley?
Er, well, before I,
before I do, er,
what I have to do.
What's up with those guys? They don't seem very bright.
They are moth breeders, only able to perform limited tasks related to moths.
- Who tells them what to do? - I do.
What if you're not around?
They respond to anyone who is nearby to give them instructions.
They have no capacity for self-direction.
Really?
That's interesting.
Oh, by the way, help yourself to all the food you want - we got plenty, we're not gonna run out
Yeah, yeah - it's good to be able to give someone something that they need more than we do.
Button it, Brock.
That is very generous of you.
Our ship has a very large appetite.
So, er, are these things hard to fly,or what?
No. They are easy to fly.
They are living organisms and basically fly themselves.
The pilot simply guides them with his hand using the joystick.
That thing? Yes.
You gotta touch that? Yes.
Oh. Well, I suppose I could, if I really had to.
Hey, looks like your fellows are gonna be a while.
Care to join us in a game?
Course he will. He's on my time.
It's me, the rag man and all the girls against you losers, right?
If you request.
Hey, just do what I say.
I may not be the greatest athlete, but at least I can think.
I'm the only one around here who can do that, right? Let's play - come on!
Lexx - how long now?
We will be directly aimed at the water planet
in 10 seconds. 9. 8. 7. 6
Lexx - I command you to -
What? Xev.
Lexx, I command you to -
To what?
Zero. We are now directly aimed at the water planet, Stan.
Stay out of this, Xev.
Stay out of what?
Whatever it is I'm doing.
And what's that, huh?
Let me go Xev.
You don't know what's going on.
- Not yet!! - I command you to -
What are you up to, Stanley Tweedle?
You tell me what it is right now, or I'm going to squeeze the life out of you.
Are you going to tell me or not?
Are you going to tell me. No? Yes. All right.
Lexx - blow up the water planet now!
As you command, Stan.
What is that?
The end of all your problems -
almost.
I am sorry Stanley. I missed.
We had passed the position where I was pointed directly at the planet.
Why Water?
I thought if anything you'd want to destroy Fire.
- I had my reasons. - Oh, what reasons?!
And Kai was down there!
He would have been all right. He's dead already,
remember? He's impossible to kill.
Well, the Lexx's weapon might have destroyed him!
Kai's dead, he doesn't care what happens to him.
What are you saying Stan?
What happened to you, huh?
What's going on?
Look, OK, OK, OK. I'll tell you.
Guess it doesn't matter anymore now anyway.
Look - after May was dead
and I was lying there beside her,
Prince came to me.
Prince is dead.
We left him down on the desert planet, remember?
I know that!
None of this makes any sense.
I mean, first May is dead,
and then she's not.
And Prince did come to me.
He said that if I used the Lexx
to blow up the water planet,
that he'd bring May back to life.
And I said I agreed,
but I didn't know if he heard me,
but then May did come back to life.
And that's why I didn't want you
to go down there with Kai.
It was a dream.
It must have been.
I don't know.
I don't know what to know.
I know May is dead now.
She's not dead.
Are you sure?
Yes. One hundred percent sure -
but she is on the edge of death.
Will she live?
I don't know.
The protein regenerator is not working so we cannot help her.
She is on her own. She may recover, or she may die.
OK, just - go, leave me alone with her.
Are you sure?
I'm sure.
Stan - please don't have any more dreams now.
- Let's go! It's their ball. - What are you talking about?
You tripped him, so it's our ball.
No I didn't, he fell.
It's not my fault if he's clumsy.
Come on Fifi,
all right? We'll forget about it and get back to the game.
Is everyone OK with that? Yes.
His shin hit my foot, OK?
Fifi, the game's not fun unless we all play fair.
Let's just put it behind us and get back to the game.
What's the matter, you don't like the way I play, is that it?
Fifi, it's not that -
No, let me get this straight -
you guys are winning. One of you guys gets in my face, and it's my fault?
Huh - I'm always the bad guy, right?
Answer me when I'm talking to ya, Brock!
Let it go Fifi -
you're taking it too seriously.
I'm taking it seriously?
Whose team are you on, anyway?
You're all such a bunch of cry-babies -
all of ya!
Ah, I don't care.
Take the ball.
İHey look, whatever your name is.
We're down nineteen to six. The game only goes to twenty one.
I kinda notice you're just standing around here.
Maybe you could put a little life into the game?
I cannot put life into my game,
as I am dead.
You're telling me!
Well, do me a favour, help us out a little bit, OK?
What would you like me to do?
Score some goals. I play to win. OK.
Stan, is that you?
No. It is me.
Prince. Am I dreaming?
What is a dream?
What is reality?
You got shot by an arrow, I saw it!
You see me here, Xev.
Did you bring May back to life? Yes.
How?
Do you still care for me Xev?
Yes, I think so.
Please help me.
If I can.
Let Stanley do what he must do.
- Prince! - You did not destroy the water planet, Stanley.
I tried,
but Xev stopped me.
Does this mean May is gonna die now?
That's up to you.
I will give you one more chance.
You will destroy Water
the next time this ship is pointed at it,
or May will be gone from you forever.
And if I do?
Then she will live, and be yours
for the rest of your life.
Stanley? What is it Xev?
Stan - I thought I heard something.
What?
A person, talking.
Oh, that was just me.
I was just talking to myself.
Yeah, we won! Great comeback.
Yeah, I picked him! OK guys - hit the showers!
I don't really like showers that much.
I'll see you guys later.
So Kai -
you have enough food yet?
I do not think so.
It will likely take a number of trips.
Hear that, Lexx? It may take a number of trips.
I am very,
very
hungry, Stan.
Kai, Lexx is very very hungry.
Oh! I'm sorry. Could you -
Are you still there, Kai? Yes.
Could you, um -
do my back?
Please?
I think you are clean now.
Oh no I'm not.
I'm dirty -
very dirty.
You do not seem to fully understand.
My body is not - alive.
Well, mine is.
Here -
tell me how it feels?
It feels -
hot.
It is -
hot.
Hotter.
Hottest!
I want you to put out my fire, Kai.
Kai - what's going on down there?
I am assisting someone who is taking a shower.
Who?
- What's your name? - Bunny.
Who is Bunny?
A naked young woman.
What?!
He said, a naked young woman.
Don't do it, Kai! Return to the Lexx right away.
It's an emergency!
What emergency?
Er - there's a robot head up here who desperately needs a lube job.
Kai, listen - don't get distracted down there, OK?
The Lexx is very hungry,
and so are we.
I do not get - distracted.
You missed a spot!
Well, you doing seem very interested in what was going on - down there.
I was.
I'm just - hungry,
and it distracts me, that's all.
Mister Kai - is it OK if I ask you a question?
Go ahead.
I'm really uncomfortable about it.
Why?
Well - I know it's not right to talk about another fellow behind his back.
I will not be uncomfortable.
OK. Have you noticed how there's a fella here who,
you know, doesn't fit in with the rest of us?
Who's, you know, different?
You are referring to Fifi?
You did notice!
We've tried everything, Mister Kai.
We've tried to make him fit in.
We even let him score goals whenever we can.
Everyone gives 110% for him, everybody, but -
nothing works.
He just doesn't seem to - you know, fit in.
And?
And that's just it.
He doesn't fit in and we don't know what to do.
We thought you might have an idea
So long, suckers!
I suspect that Fifi may have just solved your problem himself.
Bite me! !
Can't you do something with that arm thing?
He is out of range.
Fifi, can you hear me?
Yeah, I can hear ya.
Fifi, I request that you return the moths. I need them to bring food to the Lexx.
Oh. The answer is, er - no!
Tell him we forgive him and that - we'll try harder to get him to fit in.
They all forgive you, and will try harder to make you fit in.
I'm sick of hearing all their crap.
'It's OK Fifi, you'll score next time' 'It's the best two out of three' -
forget about it,
I'm sick of it.
I'll tell you one thing though - I play to win.
And this time, you guys are the big losers
and I'm the winner.
You know why?
Because I gotta hold of all these moths,
and I'm gonna fly very far away from this never-ending total boredom.
Come on, how many times can you play
that stupid game anyway, I'm sick of it! So, er, so long, suckers!
I think it's real sad.
Fifi was - well, you know.
Different.
So - who's up for a game? Yeah!.
You'll get better soon -
I know you will.
Stanley Tweedle will make sure you do.
You can come in.
You can come in if you want to. Xev?
The Lexx will be pointed at the water planet again soon.
Oh, is that right?
You didn't have any more dreams, did you?
Oh, no, no, I've forgotten about that.
You sure?
Why?
Just asking.
Thought you might have
You don't have to worry about me Xev.
Look, I was acting crazy,
and, and it passed.
Besides, you were right.
Kai might have been destroyed with the planet, so -
you were right to stop me.
I didn't know you still cared about Kai.
Oh yeah, I care about the dead man -
not as much as you, but -
he's nice to have around.
Xev, where are you going?
Why?
Well, just on case, just in case something happens with May
and I need your help.
- I'm tired, I think I'll lie down for a while. - Oh, good.
Goodnight Stan.
Night Xev.
Goodnight Xev.
Goodnight Kai.
Getting rough up here boys.
Stay with me!
Stay with you.
I can't.
Can't what?
I can't do it.
You don't have to do anything.
Stanley will do it.
I can't let him.
Life is full of choices.
Not all of them are easy.
Kai is dead.
Whatever happens
will not really affect him.
And the others -
there are a thousand people,
dying at this very moment on a thousand other planets.
What do they really mean to you -
or to me?
How long before we're pointed at the water planet, Lexx?
We will be there
in two minutes, Stanley. Good.
Woo! It's warm up here, boys!
You can choose your own happiness,
or the happiness of people that you have never known, or met,
and who will never thank you.
I can give you happiness, Xev.
I can fill the emptiness within you.
Let Stanley do as he must.
How long now Lexx?
Forty seconds, Stan.
I'm going to stop him.
You're too late, Xev.
It's done.
You don't have enough time to get to the bridge.
Oh yes I do!
Lexx, I command you -
Don't think so, Stanley!
We're not going to destroy a planet,
we're not going to kill people we don't know,
we are not going to kill Kai anymore than he's already dead,
you hear me?
- Lexx - I command you to... - No, Stanley! We're not going to destroy the planet,
do you hear me?
OK Xev, yes, I hear you,
I agree, I agree. Just let me up so I can breathe.
Stanley, ask the Lexx if he is past the point where he can destroy the planet.
Ask him Stanley,
and there is no point in trying anything else!
Lexx? Lexx - are you still pointed at the planet?
Yes I am, Stan.
I will be aimed at the water planet for 6 more seconds. 5. 4. Lexx -
Don't even try!
3. 2. 1. We are no longer aimed at the water planet.
Prince visited me too.
He did?
He wanted me to let you do it.
Well, maybe it's just as well.
You were right to stop me Xev.
I couldn't help it.
Now May's gone.
She's dead.
She's gone from me forever.
All right. Let's see.
Stan? What? Look.
I can't.
Yes you can.
Look at me.
- I thought you cared for me, Stanley. - I do -
You could have had me.
I tried to blow up Water -
But you failed! Water is still there, isn't it?
Your wound is better!
My wound is not better, it's not there. It's never been there.
I never had a wound. And you don't have what it takes to have me, Stanley.
So goodbye, Stanley Tweedle.
Enjoy your life, what's left of it.
I do not like the choice you made, Xev -
but it was the right choice.
I liked your choice, Stanley,
it was the choice I would have made -
the wrong choice. Xev is preventing you from getting your reward.
It's too bad.
You really would have enjoyed May for a while.
But soon you will get another reward -
one that you deserve.
What does that mean?
But she shot him, with an arrow. I saw her do it.
She was his enemy.
I saw her do it.
I think we just saw what they wanted us to see.
You are the one, Stanley Tweedle. You are the one!
That rolling thing, I didn't know you could do that.
Neither did I.
Must be the Cluster lizard in me.
Lexx, I wanna communicate.
Squawker channel.
As you command, Stan.
- Kai? - Yes, Stanley? - Kai, we're getting kinda hungry up here. When are you gonna be back?
I do not know.
What do you mean, you don't know?
I am now stranded here, as I am no longer in possession of the moths.
What do you mean, you don't have possession of the moths? Where are they?
I suspect they are headed towards the other planet -
Fire.
I don't exactly know how I wound up there,
but I definitely do know, that it wasn't for me.
And seeing how that's the case,
and seeing that you guys obviously have a need,
and seeing that I happened to get my hands on all these moth things
that do exactly what you want - er,
it looks to me like, we may have the ingredients to a deal here.
Right? Er - you know what?
I have, er, I have plenty of food and water here too.
But that's not the main thing,
no sir. No, the main thing
is, you can forget about your balloons.
Because these moths, they go between Fire and Water, real real fast,
so they're like perfect for an attack.
Especially of you have some inside help.
Someone like, for instance, me.
Someone who knows what their defensive plan is.
And you know what?
I don't even care about getting anything in return.
No, I'll just help you attack 'em 'cause it's what I like to do.
That's who I am.
But you know, I gotta tell you fellas,
it's - real hot here.
