Lexx 3.04 BOOMTOWN
Weapons!
Remember to stay up high
No arrows can reach this high
I don't care about arrows,
it's the dead guy's brace you gotta worry about
They're still too hig
We're up too high, is that what you're saying Brock?
Yeah, well I got news for you buddy.
We've got more moths than you've ever seen in your life,
and we're gonna hit you with more heat than you've ever felt before, pal!
Watch the birdy!
Burn, Gametown, burn!
Mr Kai, can't we hit them with your brace weapon?
No. They are staying well up and out of range
Fifi.Yeah?You are a small minded,self-centred, vindictive perfectly evil human being
Wow. That's harsh
But also true
which is why I like you
Bunny, we need more water
There are too many fires Brock, burning out of control
Eat this, Brock!
Mr Kai - promise you'll look after her
Who?
Bunny. She's in love with you
I will try
Thanks. You're a swell guy
We're gonna have to swim for it
I cannot swim. You can't?
No. I do not float
Everybody follow me, we're going back to Fire
Fire? What for?
We've got work left to do, we got cities to burn!
I like you, Fifi - but I'm in charge,
and we will do what I say.
We'll come back here, later, but first we have some business on Fire
Yeah. Sure boss, whatever you say
Hey, Kai. Glad you're finally back
Xev and I were starting to get really really hungry
Hi, I'm Bunny! - Slut!
I will start the remaining moth breeders building new moths,
and then, we should all go down to Water,
so you can eat
It's OK, OK
Bitch slap her, Xev!
No, no, ....
Build more moths, now
So, those floating cities down on your planet what are they like,
ou know, in a way that might be of interest to me?
Well, all the cities are different from each other.
What are your interests?
Well ...
being a healthy,
actually living
specimen
of the human male species
I have
very
powerful - interests
What type of very powerful interests?
He wants to get girls into bed.
And since most girls, even those with highly accelerated libidos,
do not want him in bed.
Stanley Tweedle is constantly looking for planets where the girls don't care who he is
Xev - Xev, you don't have to put it that way.
What I'm really looking for is,
you know, like a happy people party place.
You know, a place where people have fun all the time - different kinds of fun,
I mean, open-minded fun, and err, get cosy at night, and you know,
cuddle and mmmm.
- You know? - No
All he wants is sex. With anyone, anywhere, anytime.
He's desperate.
And I need to eat, soon
I think
you want to go to
Boomtown
Does it have food?
Lots
Girls?
Plenty
Nice girls?
Nice girls
and, nice boys
Oh. And are they open-minded?
sexually speaking?
On Boomtown everybody has sex,
all the time
All the time?
Mm hmm. Night and day.
It's a non-stop sex city.
That's what they do there
Are you OK Stanley?
Oh yeah. Yeah yeah yeah. I'm just a little, little hungry
Me too.
Very hungry
It's OK - they're from the big bug in the sky. We won't hurt you
I really like the
the fruit, here
You seem hungry
I am very hungry
Very hungry.
but I like to enjoy the flavour
For me, it's far more satisfying to take my time.
Pick out something desirable
Bring it up to your mouth, smell it's delicious, fresh, heavenly, ripeness
And then you take that first little bite -
Savour it.
Taste it.
Roll it around your mouth
And then?
The experience grows from there.
It gets
Deeper
The sensation seems to spread throughout your whole body
Building
Until eventually you get this delicious feeling coming in like waves,
crashing upon the shore
Waves crashing on the shore
Then there's the question Quantity or quality.
I prefer a taste
of something wonderful
over a whole feast of something that's just ordinary
I prefer a whole feast of something really wonderful
Do you have an empty stomach too?
I do not have a stomach at all
Look, I'll be right back, OK?
Don't think so
No, No, she just wants me for, you know, something
So, miss - ?
Quantity or quality?
Oh, that could be um, a hard decision
hard
Um - ?
Root
Root,
very - hard
How hard?
It could take a long time to decide
How long?
Very, very long
Well, it's hard for me too
but it's important to come
to a satisfying -
Decision. Yes
Remember me?
I'm Peach?
Remember me? I'm Stanley H Tweedle
Do you like peaches?
Only when my lips are wrapped around them
Come here, Stanley H Tweedle
I can go all night long too
Go where?
Go to the place that makes a man happy
Where is that?
The place I want to bring you
- Are you trying to seduce me? - Yes
The dead cannot be seduced
I don't understand
Bunny - I am dead
No you're not
Yes I am
That's a neat trick.
Do other parts of you perform that well?
No. Other parts do not perform at all.
You'll have to get your satisfaction elsewhere
Likewise, Xev
Once we have defeated Water, there must be only one ruler.
And that ruler
must be me
What, you mean there's somebody else we need to take care of?
Yes. There's someone else I'm going to
... replace.
Oh. You see, I thought your city looked the biggest to me
so, you know, I just figured you were the head guy, he man in charge
Not yet, but soon, very soon
Bunny said that on Boomtown you were
very warm, very friendly
Well, we are
Yeah.
And you're very open minded,
when it comes to, umm -
When it comes to
what?
You know
What?
Umm, se - love. Love
But we are, when it comes to - sex
That's pretty much all we do here, Mister Stanley H Tweedle
Is that OK with you?
Oh, it's much more than OK
I'm home
Come on a journey with me Xev
Yes. Where?
A long journey ...
... To a special place within ourselves.
I was programmed to be a ...
... Love slave..
So let's go there, now
Ooo. The arrival
Will be sublime.
So, Bunny, since there is so much sex occurring in this city,
here should be a lot of children
What are children?
Children result from sex
Fun results from sex!
Sex is considered to be fun,
but it is also known to have other complications,
one of which is children
Not here on Boomtown.
It's just fun, and that's all
I bet I could make you
What?
Aroused
I have not been aroused for 6000 years
Boy, you must be really frustrated
No. I am not frustrated
You want me, don't you?
The dead do not get frustrated.
The dead do not have wants. The dead are simply dead
You're so weird
How did you all get here anyway?
We came here on our ship - the Lexx
The mighty will soon fall.
Oh joy
They are able to fly inside the thorns,
and since they are underneath the deck we cannot reach them with our missiles
Cut through it
The deck supports the entire city, and is very thick.
It will take time
Then waste no more of it talking to me
Will we attack them with the one moth we do have? - No
We, will not.
I will
Are we going to run?
To where?
To safety
Do you not believe that I will defeat him?
He is a flea,
a pretender,
a nothing
I rule this planet.
I always have and I always will.
I will destroy Duke,
and then, I will destroy Water
Forever and forever he has ground me beneath his heel.
Finally I have a chance to grind him back.
I like you
Yeah. I like you too Duke.
So er, where are we going now?
Duketown,
where I am Duke, and where I will soon be king
Oh. What are we gonna do there?
We will wait for Prince to attack us
Attack us, why?
Many times I have nearly defeated him,
but now I have these moths.
I will win.
Prince knows that, so he will come after us,so that I will kill him
Wait a minute, why would he want you to kill him?
You have much to learn, my friend
much to learn
And how was that, Mister Stanley H Tweedle?
That - that was perfection
that was the definition of perfection
That, that was the definition
of totally, completely,
a hundred million times beyond perfection. Good.
Good? Good
Don't I get to cuddle?
Oh, you do - but not with me
Hi. I'm Pear
Pear
Hi. I'm Plum
Plum?
Plum Pear and a little Peach
I'm in an orchard
So what is a love slave?
A love slave is someone
who can't hold out much longer
But what does a love slave do?
A love slave does everything
Everything?
Everything a man could ever want, or need
I can't hold out much longer
Oh yes you can.
The wait is your journey.
The arrival, your joy
Enough
Now, is the fun part
Duke. I - I was just about to burn him
Good - What'd he do?
Nothing
I don't get it. So why are you burning him?
So we can enjoy his suffering
Ah. That I get
Hold him
Fifi - I've decided to make you my new chief
Excellent!
What do I have to do?
Whatever I say - Ok
First problem, is to get rid of the old chief
Piece of cake
Did you enjoy that? Yes I did
This is my kind of place
And you are my kind of chief, Fifi
Sounds like we have visitors
Clear it up
We have a common enemy.
We should be fighting together against Water
not with each other
Yes. All Fire must fight together,
united under a single ruler against a common enemy
But that is already so.
Fire is my planet.
I am its Prince
Look
a tree doth fall
A king without a crown
a prince without a town
Are you betraying me, May?
Yes - I expected no less
I have defeated you
Perhaps
Your city is gone. You have no power
So
you have won.
I'm ready to die
I'll do it
No. You won't
But you will suffer
Good shot.
Thank you May
No! Bad shot! Very
bad shot.
Wow. Why'd you wanna keep him here?
This way he can't go anywhere
Alive he is no threat, but dead he will come back - to haunt us
Haunt us?
How?
That, we have yet to discover
And as we get closer
and closer
to shore
our vessels
touch
I want it, now!
We'll get there, soon
Prince will look after me
You really believe that?
Why should he?
I helped him
Prince doesn't work like that.
You only killed him to save yourself
You know that as well as I do.
And if you think Prince returns favours,
then you have him confused with something good.
you're a fool, May
He will destroy you
Good luck on the other side
Whoa. Hey, er, Duke - you wanna help me out here?
What am I missing?
Do you believe in life after death?
Then what happens when you die?
You die, that's it. Game over
After that?
Nothing, what are you talking about?
Where did you come from? How did your life begin?
Just like everybody else's.
One day I woke up - there I was
Before that?
Before that? But before that, I guess I just wasn't
Wrong!
Before that, you were
I was?
You just don't remember
Anyway boss, when will we get back to Water?
Now.
Yeah? You mean, we get to destroy everything now and take over,
right?
Now we will destroy every city on Water
And you'll rule both planets, right?
And I'll be your number one guy, huh?
For now
So why does your ship have to eat?
Because it is a large insect.
It is alive, and all living things must eat
You can see it as it passes between the two planets
Where? - There
Can you hear the waves, Xev?
I've been hearing the waves long enough,
let's get on with it! Please
But the journey
I'm programmed to love,
and you're going to download my programme, right?
Just don't
download
too soon
It's a big programme, Xev.
It takes time to download
How long?
Oh, as long as you can take it
Oh, oh that's good
Am, mnya, mnya, mnya ..
What does the H in Stanley H Tweedle stand for?
Handsome? No
Hunky? - No
Hung? No
How about er, how about human?
No, no. Don't stop now Stanley We're just getting started
Not to worry, not to worry,
just give me a minute.
Manly Stanley is just taking a little time-out
Time-out's up - Oh boy
So, now where to, boss?
Boomtown
Boomtown?
I thought you might wanna save that one
Why?
Well, I don't know. I mean, out of all these floating cities
on this stupid planet, that's really the only one that ever did anything for me
Really?
Yeah, I dunno, I mean, the people there are fun.
It's not exactly my type of fun, but they know
how to get down and dirty,
you know what I mean?
They are the enemy, and we will destroy them
All right then
Are you OK?
I'm way beyond OK
We need more - lots more.
Listen, girls,
speaking honestly, I can say that,
of all the planets I have ever been to,
this one is the best by far
I mean that, I mean it, I do, honestly I do.
There is nothing going on here,.
especially like right now,
that I consider anything but totally excellent.
But listen, can I ask you a question?
Does the concept of too much of a good thing mean anything to you?
There's a limit, and I passed my limit some time ago.
That means,
-I think, that we gotta stop for a while -Stop?
I don't understand
Hi, I'm Cherry.
Hi, I'm Olive.
It's our turn to play
Oh. I think I'm getting a headache
What's a headache? Oh
Are they coming this way?
Yes
Does that mean I might die?
Yes
Are you afraid?
I am.
Are you afraid?
No
You belong here with me Xev
But how can you be
I mean
I mean, are you -?
Alive?
Yes
I'm here for you
Your skin
it's warm
Of course!
But how?
Where did you come from?
I only know that
I am here,
and I had to come to you
Perhaps I should, uh, leave you two alone
Sorry Root,
but this is Kai
You don't have to explain anything.
Everything's OK
We're on Boomtown
What's that sound?
We're being attacked
Saved by the bell
What's that?
We're under attack
I want to go with you
Kai? I thought that you had somehow come to life,
but you are still dead, aren't you?
So how can there be two of you?
One is dead
the other is alive
This is such an easy target!
Will somebody please tell me what all this commotion is about?
We are being attacked by forces from the planet Fire
They are using the moths stolen from us
Kai? Kai? Am I dreaming this, or is this for real?
It's real Stan
Well, can you please explain it to me?
No I can't,
because I don't understand it either
Can we go now?
I think - that would be sensible
It's bunhead in black!
Good
Good? How can that possibly be good?
Oh no, he's seen us!
What are we going to do?
That one contains Fifi.
He stole our moths
Then get him
bring him down
They are out of my current range
Then quick, let's go after him
Or we could just return to the Lexx
We have to go after him
he is the enemy
Clearly
I agree
Abandon the attack.
Destroy the moth that's following me.
Everybody abandon the attack
Did you hear that? They're coming after us
What are we gonna do now?
We fight
Oh, that's easy for you to say.
What if I don't exactly share your desire?
What if I do?
We have little choice, Stanley.
I suspect they will come after us
whatever course we take
