Mike is a friend of yoursCopy !req
31. When Mike talks to you,

32. Now run as fast as you can
to the Dolongs...Copy !req
33. and stay there until the machine...Copy !req
34. until Mike... talks to youCopy !req
35. I can't run. My knee hurtsCopy !req
36. Anyway, I don't want to go
into the DolongsCopy !req
37. I want to go homeCopy !req
38. Your mummy doesn't want us
to come home right nowCopy !req
39. Do as I say!Copy !req
40. Run into the DolongsCopy !req
41. Run, I tell you! Run!Copy !req
42. Well done, very nice!Copy !req
43. What's the matter?Copy !req
44. - You idiot
- What's got into you?Copy !req
45. What are you doing?Copy !req
46. Look what's happeningCopy !req
47. We almost collided with that meteor
while you were taking a napCopy !req
48. I thought the collision-swerve
control was automaticCopy !req
49. Yes, but only for masses
that weigh less than 10,000 tonsCopy !req
50. Well, I didn't knowCopy !req
51. You don't know muchCopy !req
52. HelloCopy !req
53. I have refreshments for the navigatorsCopy !req
54. - Is anything wrong?
- No, it's all goodCopy !req
55. You must be joking!
How long has this signal been on?Copy !req
56. How should I know? I don't understand
anything about this tub of yoursCopy !req
57. Jaffar, this is ClaudeCopy !req
58. Where are you?
Can you read me?Copy !req
59. I'll leave a messageCopy !req
60. Jaffar, this is ClaudeCopy !req
61. I'm calling from the planet PerdideCopy !req
62. Northern hemisphere, 73rd sectorCopy !req
63. 16:50, universal timeCopy !req
64. Jaffar, the hornets
attacked us by surprise!Copy !req
65. It was horribleCopy !req
66. Annie is deadCopy !req
67. I'm heading for the DolongsCopy !req
68. Jaffar, I've crashedCopy !req
69. I'm trapped. I'm sending Piel
to the Dolongs with a microphoneCopy !req
70. Come get him, for God's sake!Copy !req
71. Hurry!
I beg you!Copy !req
72. Goodbye Jaffar...
and thank youCopy !req
73. Piel! Can you hear me?Copy !req
74. Answer, if you hear meCopy !req
75. Can you hear me, Piel?Copy !req
76. Answer me!Copy !req
77. I don't like you,
and I don't like your lightsCopy !req
78. Mike!Copy !req
79. I don't like you eitherCopy !req
80. What?Copy !req
81. I didn't know
you could hear me, MikeCopy !req
82. Piel, is that you?Copy !req
83. Of course it's meCopy !req
84. Where are you?Copy !req
85. Right here, in front of youCopy !req
86. Piel, I'm speaking to you
from very far awayCopy !req
87. Look, Jaffar,
he can't understandCopy !req
88. - Perhaps you should...
- Why do you have two voices?Copy !req
89. Answer, Mike.
I know your name is MikeCopy !req
90. Why do you have two voices?Copy !req
91. You're right, Piel.
My name is MikeCopy !req
92. And I have two voices
because I have practically nothing elseCopy !req
93. I don't have eyes to see with,
nor legs to walk with...Copy !req
94. nor arms to hold things withCopy !req
95. So instead, I have two voices...Copy !req
96. and I can even have more than thatCopy !req
97. - Do you understand?
- I think soCopy !req
98. - You're in a forest now, aren't you?
- YesCopy !req
99. - With glowing red and yellow fruit?
- Yes, that's rightCopy !req
100. Good. Just wait there.
A big spaceship will come to get youCopy !req
101. Wait a minute!Copy !req
102. We're not going to Aldebaran anymore?Copy !req
103. That's exactly it!Copy !req
104. But we're paying you a fortune
to take us to AldebaranCopy !req
105. You can't break your wordCopy !req
106. I didn't promise anything,
Prince MattonCopy !req
107. Aldebaran was on my way
and you asked to join the ship...Copy !req
108. with half the public treasury
that you pocketedCopy !req
109. - Only that which was mine
- Don't make me laugh!Copy !req
110. The police of the Interplanetary
Reformed Alliance are on your tailCopy !req
111. Your destination
makes no difference to youCopy !req
112. It could be Aldebaran, or anywhere else,
just as long as you get awayCopy !req
113. Yes, I've changed our destinationCopy !req
114. It's no longer Aldebaran.
It's PerdideCopy !req
115. Consider yourself lucky that you're going
anywhere and I've taken pity on youCopy !req
116. And don't smoke on board!Copy !req
117. Oxygen is preciousCopy !req
118. Go back to your cabin and buckle upCopy !req
119. To get to Perdide,
we'll have to land on Devil's Ball...Copy !req
120. and then go to Gamma 10Copy !req
121. We'll have to wait
for the passage of the Blue CometCopy !req
122. By keeping within its magnetic field,
we'll be able to approach PerdideCopy !req
123. Mike, why are you so quiet?Copy !req
124. Piel, I'm busy right nowCopy !req
125. I'll talk to you laterCopy !req
126. Oh, they're lovelyCopy !req
127. Silbad calls them his shrewsCopy !req
128. Jaffar, you rascal!Copy !req
129. Why didn't you tell me
you were coming?Copy !req
130. Perdide would be nice,
if it weren't for the hornetsCopy !req
131. You know about the hornets
of Perdide, Princess?Copy !req
132. Here. Look at thisCopy !req
133. The hornets of Perdide
did this to me years agoCopy !req
134. They like to eat the human brain...Copy !req
135. just as if it were a soft-boiled eggCopy !req
136. Mr Silbad, please...Copy !req
137. Sorry, PrinceCopy !req
138. So what were you saying
about your friend Claude?Copy !req
139. - Claude had a son called Piel
- A son!Copy !req
140. Having a wife is bad enough,
but a son as well...Copy !req
141. - Jaffar, your friend is crazy!
- He's deadCopy !req
142. Those hornets againCopy !req
143. His wife too, and the boy?Copy !req
144. The boy's taken refuge in the DolongsCopy !req
145. As long as he stays there,
he's safeCopy !req
146. The pollen from the trees
keeps off the hornetsCopy !req
147. Are there settlers around?Copy !req
148. Piel is totally alone on PerdideCopy !req
149. How old is he?Copy !req
150. He must be somewhere
between five and ten Earth yearsCopy !req
151. The only link you have with him
is through that mike?Copy !req
152. A little marvel, that thing!Copy !req
153. Instant communication
anywhere in Space FourCopy !req
154. Yes, Claude gave it to meCopy !req
155. He thought I might need help one day.
But he was the one who needed itCopy !req
156. Let me thinkCopy !req
157. They've been singing for three days.
They'll soon metamorphoseCopy !req
158. - It could work
- What could, Mr Silbad?Copy !req
159. If someone
who knows Perdide very well...Copy !req
160. remains in contact with the boy...Copy !req
161. and keeps telling him what to do...Copy !req
162. he'll make it,
he'll manage to get outCopy !req
163. How long will it take you to get there?Copy !req
164. Hello, Piel. Are you there?Copy !req
165. How would you like to hear a song?
Listen to this!Copy !req
166. It's the song of the Lamprey Guzzlers.
Do you know that one?Copy !req
167. No, sing it to me, MikeCopy !req
168. I'm a galactic lushCopy !req
169. The kind that will buy you a drinkCopy !req
170. I'm a cosmic tramp
and I roam without a blushCopy !req
171. I'm the Astro GuzzlerCopy !req
172. But believe me when I sayCopy !req
173. Sometimes I feel very depressed,
and I end up in the gutterCopy !req
174. I'm a nasty piece of workCopy !req
175. Sometimes it's true I go berserkCopy !req
176. A really long time agoCopy !req
177. How long exactly, who knows?Copy !req
178. I was having a ball on the Lamprey
with all the friends I knowCopy !req
179. Suddenly I realisedCopy !req
180. I might have drunk too muchCopy !req
181. But the hell with it,
you only have one lifeCopy !req
182. One drink after anotherCopy !req
183. Like a famous GuzzlerCopy !req
184. Alcohol is flowing
and that's what mattersCopy !req
185. I'm the interstellar foolCopy !req
186. Space is so beautifulCopy !req
187. Let's have another drink
and then we'll...Copy !req
188. You ought to be ashamed of yourself...Copy !req
189. singing this kind of song to a childCopy !req
190. Why did you stop, Mike?
Keep singingCopy !req
191. I'll sing the rest later onCopy !req
192. Right now, little one, I want you to eat
one of those pretty red fruitsCopy !req
193. I'm tired of them.
Isn't there anything else?Copy !req
194. Do you want me to get angry?Copy !req
195. OK, OK...Copy !req
196. What's a lamprey?Copy !req
197. Ah, my boy,
that was a proud space vessel...Copy !req
198. the last of an illustrious fleetCopy !req
199. What's a guzzler?Copy !req
200. Well, now, that's, er...Copy !req
201. Guzzle... that means sort of to drinkCopy !req
202. So guzzlers are people
who like to drink just a tiny little bitCopy !req
203. You know, Mike,
I'd like to drink something as wellCopy !req
204. - I'm thirsty
- I've already told youCopy !req
205. You can drink the juice
of the red fruitCopy !req
206. I don't like that tasteCopy !req
207. I'd like some waterCopy !req
208. ListenCopy !req
209. I know something
that's much better than waterCopy !req
210. Are there giant strawberries
near where you are?Copy !req
211. Enormous juicy strawberries?Copy !req
212. I can't see anyCopy !req
213. Look around a littleCopy !req
214. They grow on the trunks of trees.
There must be some aroundCopy !req
215. There's one, over thereCopy !req
216. Right. I'm standing
in front of your big, fat strawberryCopy !req
217. - What shall I do now?
- You see those soft, round spots on it?Copy !req
218. - Yes
- Burst them open with your fingerCopy !req
219. Something will flow out
that's much better than waterCopy !req
220. That's good!Copy !req
221. Are you crazy, Silbad?Copy !req
222. First you sing him drinking songs
and now you're trying to get him drunkCopy !req
223. Under the circumstances, my friend,
we can't be choosyCopy !req
224. The juice of the legol
contains an alkaloidCopy !req
225. It's harmless
but it will help him sleep...Copy !req
226. and keep him out of troubleCopy !req
227. Are you sure it won't poison him?Copy !req
228. If he soaks it up for a month straight,
then maybe yes, it could be harmfulCopy !req
229. But he'll get over it very quickly.
Believe me. I know from experienceCopy !req
230. He'll be OKCopy !req
231. I really like your friendCopy !req
232. Yeah, he's quite a character, isn't he?Copy !req
233. He certainly isCopy !req
234. Maybe I'm just imagining thingsCopy !req
235. Not completely, BelleCopy !req
236. The fact is, Silbad does sufferCopy !req
237. - In his head?
- No, in his heartCopy !req
238. Silbad has been hopelessly
in love for 20 yearsCopy !req
239. - In love? With whom?
- With this planetCopy !req
240. You're going to witness
something very rareCopy !req
241. Close your minds!
We're here!Copy !req
242. - What's that?
- The metamorphosis of the shrewsCopy !req
243. But be careful.
Those little scamps are telepathicCopy !req
244. Close your minds!
We're here!Copy !req
245. Careful, close your minds!Copy !req
246. Leave us in peace.
Go on, be off with youCopy !req
247. Close your mind, human.
I hear everythingCopy !req
248. Look! Two of them seem to be stuckCopy !req
249. Yes. And the petals are closing againCopy !req
250. Stay here. I'll goCopy !req
251. Hello, Piel?Copy !req
252. Little Piel, do you hear me?Copy !req
253. Would you go and fetch the prince,
please?Copy !req
254. To enter the Blue Comet's magnetic
field, we have to leave in an hourCopy !req
255. I bet you'd be more than happy
to abandon the prince hereCopy !req
256. - Certainly not!
- You and your code of honourCopy !req
257. Hello. Who are you?Copy !req
258. Come on, nowCopy !req
259. Don't be afraid of meCopy !req
260. Am I afraid of you?
Of course notCopy !req
261. Isn't it you who took my Mike?Copy !req
262. Listen, you old pirate,
are you sure everything's OK?Copy !req
263. We haven't heard from the boy in a whileCopy !req
264. That's true. He should have
been awake for some time nowCopy !req
265. Ssh! I can hear somethingCopy !req
266. It's as if he were a long way
from the mikeCopy !req
267. Answer me!Copy !req
268. Well, I can't shout any louderCopy !req
269. We have to make a sound
that will catch his attentionCopy !req
270. Do you know the war cry
of the fighting monks of Guamar 35?Copy !req
271. Then cover your earsCopy !req
272. No comments, pleaseCopy !req
273. Just waitCopy !req
274. Mike, was it you
who shouted like that?Copy !req
275. Are you all right?Copy !req
276. It sounded like
you were very far away from meCopy !req
277. There was a big animal sitting on youCopy !req
278. - I'm glad I found you again
- Me too, little oneCopy !req
279. What happened?
I heard a terrifying noiseCopy !req
280. It was nothing, my dear ladyCopy !req
281. I was just clearing my throatCopy !req
282. I drew it from memoryCopy !req
283. Here's the Desert of the SangsCopy !req
284. The Dolongs are hereCopy !req
285. Claude arrived from the west
in his machineCopy !req
286. So, the little fellow
had to cross through hereCopy !req
287. Right... Now there are only
a few caves thereCopy !req
288. Piel must have used a cave for shelterCopy !req
289. My dear lady, the caves of Perdide
are full of SarpeelsCopy !req
290. - Full of what?
- SarpeelsCopy !req
291. Another scourge on PerdideCopy !req
292. They're very dangerous creepersCopy !req
293. Oh, how awful!Copy !req
294. - Do you think Piel is...
- No. I've questioned himCopy !req
295. He hasn't got near the cavesCopy !req
296. I'm worried about the lakeCopy !req
297. The lake?
What's the danger there?Copy !req
298. It's just a body of water per se,
filled with friendly little fishCopy !req
299. However, a kid can drown,
and the hornets can get nearbyCopy !req
300. By now, Piel must be very close to itCopy !req
301. There's something odd going on
behind that screenCopy !req
302. Something that doesn't...Copy !req
303. Hey! Stowaways!Copy !req
304. The others preferred to remain
on Devil's BallCopy !req
305. To await the next transformationCopy !req
306. Something stinks hereCopy !req
307. Mind your language
in front of a lady!Copy !req
308. Oh, dear. Perhaps it's my perfumeCopy !req
309. No, madam, not on your life.
Your perfume is exquisiteCopy !req
310. You must excuse Yula.
He's talking through his hatCopy !req
311. - A bad telepathic smell?
- That's it!Copy !req
312. There's a thought here that stinks,
don't you think, Jad?Copy !req
313. Now, enough of that.
I'm ashamed of youCopy !req
314. Don't you know how to behave
in polite company?Copy !req
315. Anyway, it's gone nowCopy !req
316. Piel, are you there?Copy !req
317. Yes, I'm here... and I'm getting
fed up with being here tooCopy !req
318. Yes, I understand, dear PielCopy !req
319. So for a change,
why don't we take a little walk?Copy !req
320. I don't want to take a walk.
I want to be somewhere elseCopy !req
321. Of course, but to be somewhere else,
you have to walkCopy !req
322. I want you to go to the lakeCopy !req
323. You'll be able to get washed thereCopy !req
324. Why? I'm not dirtyCopy !req
325. All right, you don't have to washCopy !req
326. But the lake's pretty.
You'll enjoy itCopy !req
327. Well, if I don't have to wash, OK thenCopy !req
328. How do I get there?Copy !req
329. First, you have to turn your back
to the moonCopy !req
330. Why have you changed
your voice again?Copy !req
331. I liked the other ones betterCopy !req
332. The others have to restCopy !req
333. How much farther is the lake?Copy !req
334. You'll be there in just a few minutesCopy !req
335. I'm going to see what the prince is up toCopy !req
336. Here you are.
I was wondering where you'd goneCopy !req
337. Well, I just wanted to be usefulCopy !req
338. Since no one was looking after Piel,
I thought I wouldCopy !req
339. Any new developments?Copy !req
340. No. He's asleepCopy !req
341. Look! Like this, it's more beautifulCopy !req
342. Why own sparkling things, if all you do
is lock them in a bin like rubbish?Copy !req
343. You know how it isCopy !req
344. Human beings, at least some of them,
don't care about the beauty of thingsCopy !req
345. Only their value interests themCopy !req
346. "Value"?
What's "value"?Copy !req
347. It's a concept.
I read it in their thoughtsCopy !req
348. And what's a concept?Copy !req
349. To tell you the truth, I'm not too sureCopy !req
350. It's something that drives men crazy...Copy !req
351. at least some of them,
like Prince MattonCopy !req
352. Now there I agree with youCopy !req
353. His thoughts smell terribleCopy !req
354. Perhaps we should warn the othersCopy !req
355. They're humans, space mate.
We are gnomesCopy !req
356. It's best that we each
mind our own businessCopy !req
357. "Business"? What's "business"?Copy !req
358. Humans have their way
of doing things...Copy !req
359. and we have our ownCopy !req
360. I suppose you're right,
but Prince Matton's thoughts still stinkCopy !req
361. Right. From this point on,
we can rely on the computerCopy !req
362. It'll put us in orbit around Gamma 10...Copy !req
363. until the Blue Comet passesCopy !req
364. Then it'll send us
into its gravitational fieldCopy !req
365. Since we'll be orbiting Gamma 10...Copy !req
366. would we have enough time
to land there?Copy !req
367. We could if we wanted toCopy !req
368. All right, I'll relieve you nowCopy !req
369. But I prefer to stay here
and look after the kidCopy !req
370. You see, Jaffar...Copy !req
371. when I said a little while ago
that I wanted to be useful...Copy !req
372. I truly meant itCopy !req
373. The thoughts of that human
keep smelling worse and worseCopy !req
374. Well, close your mind, space mateCopy !req
375. Those are human affairs, not oursCopy !req
376. - Piel?
- Well, it's about time!Copy !req
377. What happened to you?
Did you fall asleep?Copy !req
378. Never mind.
Just tell me, are you still walking?Copy !req
379. Don't forget, you have to reach the lakeCopy !req
380. But I'm already thereCopy !req
381. Are you!Copy !req
382. - And what have you been doing?
- I saw a big fishCopy !req
383. Is that all?Copy !req
384. Did you get washed?Copy !req
385. You said I didn't have toCopy !req
386. I've changed my mind.
You have to take a bathCopy !req
387. Go into the water
and head towards the middle of the lakeCopy !req
388. But I'll drown!Copy !req
389. Of course you won't, you little foolCopy !req
390. If you carry me with you,
you'll be safeCopy !req
391. I'll make you float on the water.
You'll seeCopy !req
392. Are you in the lake yet?Copy !req
393. Yes, but it's coldCopy !req
394. Walk to the middle of the lakeCopy !req
395. Keep walking. Forward!Copy !req
396. Obey me!Copy !req
397. I am walking,
but this is getting deepCopy !req
398. - No, Piel! Stop!
- Belle!Copy !req
399. - Don't move
- You wouldn't dare...Copy !req
400. Mike! What did you say?Copy !req
401. What do you want me to do now?Copy !req
402. I'm cold,
and I'm almost out of my depthCopy !req
403. Piel, turn around
and get out of the water!Copy !req
404. Get out of this lake at once!Copy !req
405. Belle, listen. I can explainCopy !req
406. It's perfectly clearCopy !req
407. But if we continue to Perdide,
we're finishedCopy !req
408. They'll take my treasureCopy !req
409. We'll be miserable tramps,
roaming from planet to planetCopy !req
410. Jaffar, please come here immediatelyCopy !req
411. Right. I'm comingCopy !req
412. Go to the Dolongs, dry yourself,
and wait there until I speak to you againCopy !req
413. I have to think for a momentCopy !req
414. Belle, have pity on me.
Try to understandCopy !req
415. Tell Jaffar I tried to kill the child,
and he'll throw me out into spaceCopy !req
416. Belle, please, I beg you!Copy !req
417. - What's going on?
- Mike!Copy !req
418. I did what you told me to doCopy !req
419. I've come out of the lake,
and I'm drying myselfCopy !req
420. Now what should I do?Copy !req
421. - Just wait there
- I seeCopy !req
422. - May I make a suggestion?
- Go aheadCopy !req
423. Oh, no!Copy !req
424. There go all our decorationsCopy !req
425. All that work for nothingCopy !req
426. I'm beginning to think
that the human race is crazy!Copy !req
427. Let me out! I'll kill you!Copy !req
428. I swear, I'll kill you!Copy !req
429. What a nightmare!Copy !req
430. We've got to do somethingCopy !req
431. I can't take any more
of that guy's thoughtsCopy !req
432. I'll simply die
if he carries on like thisCopy !req
433. He's giving me a splitting headache tooCopy !req
434. Look.
He wants to get out of here, right?Copy !req
435. Perhaps we could...Copy !req
436. Don't talk nonsenseCopy !req
437. That guy is a cosmic dangerCopy !req
438. Jad, I'm getting sickCopy !req
439. Let's help him escapeCopy !req
440. All he wants is to take the shuttle
to go to Gamma 10Copy !req
441. That's not all.
He also wants to recover his treasure...Copy !req
442. to recruit mercenaries
and massacre everybodyCopy !req
443. No. We can't let him get awayCopy !req
444. - He'll never come back from Gamma 10
- How do you know?Copy !req
445. Can't you hear that planet?Copy !req
446. Hear it? It's bursting my eardrumsCopy !req
447. Mine too, space mateCopy !req
448. That's a world I don't want
to have anything to do withCopy !req
449. - He'll never leave it
- No. Not a chanceCopy !req
450. Well, then,
shall we liberate that monster?Copy !req
451. Look outCopy !req
452. Little white boyCopy !req
453. Look outCopy !req
454. For your gloomy thoughtsCopy !req
455. Look outCopy !req
456. My little AstroCopy !req
457. Look outCopy !req
458. For the black holesCopy !req
459. Look outCopy !req
460. Little white boyCopy !req
461. Look outCopy !req
462. For certain looksCopy !req
463. Everything's fine now, MikeCopy !req
464. I'm warm and I'm sleepy...Copy !req
465. and I like it
when you sing like my mumCopy !req
466. Go to sleep now, PielCopy !req
467. I love you, MikeCopy !req
468. And I love you too, little PielCopy !req
469. What's going on?Copy !req
470. Someone's ejected in the shuttle!Copy !req
471. - It's the prince!
- Prepare the emergency capsuleCopy !req
472. What kind of planet is this?Copy !req
473. What happened?Copy !req
474. I don't know, space mate...Copy !req
475. but a little more of it
and I think my brain would have meltedCopy !req
476. I thought mine was turning to stoneCopy !req
477. We have to do somethingCopy !req
478. First of all, let's not lose JaffarCopy !req
479. Jad, I'm afraidCopy !req
480. I'm afraid of what's under that domeCopy !req
481. Me too, space mate.
I'm terrifiedCopy !req
482. We're the ones
who got Jaffar into this messCopy !req
483. Now we'll have to get him out of itCopy !req
484. We must contact the others
in the spaceshipCopy !req
485. We can tryCopy !req
486. That thing is liable
to swallow our brainsCopy !req
487. My dear lady,
there's nothing we can do but wait...Copy !req
488. and hope Jaffar will make it back
before the passage of the Blue Comet...Copy !req
489. which means he only has five hoursCopy !req
490. At last! Where were you?Copy !req
491. Do you think it's easy for us,
with that thinking thing?Copy !req
492. It's no use. It's too sturdyCopy !req
493. But take off my helmet.
The air is breathable hereCopy !req
494. Listen. You're going to have
to pilot the shuttleCopy !req
495. Tune in on my thoughts,
and I'll show you how to fly itCopy !req
496. Take it back up to the spaceshipCopy !req
497. Tell Silbad to catch the Blue Comet,
and go and save the boyCopy !req
498. And desert you?
Out of the questionCopy !req
499. I think it's a pretty good ideaCopy !req
500. Why don't we get out of here?Copy !req
501. We can always return later
to save JaffarCopy !req
502. Of course. Yula is rightCopy !req
503. No. Yula is wrong, and he knows itCopy !req
504. Yula, I'm ashamed of youCopy !req
505. You're a coward, a scaredy-cat,
a cry-baby and a milksopCopy !req
506. And what's more,
you're spineless, chicken-heartedCopy !req
507. You know what will happen to Jaffar
in just a few hours, if we leave him hereCopy !req
508. I can take care of myselfCopy !req
509. Not against that, Jaffar.
Not against that thingCopy !req
510. - What thing?
- It doesn't have a nameCopy !req
511. It's... It's pure thoughtCopy !req
512. Don't worry.
I can handle pure thoughtCopy !req
513. I'm afraid you can'tCopy !req
514. The thought will absorb you
as it has all the othersCopy !req
515. - What others?
- Those who set foot on Gamma 10Copy !req
516. They look perfectly normalCopy !req
517. Now they're puppets...
puppets of that thingCopy !req
518. Brothers!Copy !req
519. It is time!Copy !req
520. Once again, difference
has intruded on Gamma 10Copy !req
521. Once again,
the ceremony must take placeCopy !req
522. Once again,
difference must be abolished...Copy !req
523. and unity restoredCopy !req
524. Here they come!
I smell their thoughtsCopy !req
525. Relax. We still have a minuteCopy !req
526. Pull, Jaffar!Copy !req
527. They're coming!
They're coming!Copy !req
528. Jad, is there anything I can do?Copy !req
529. Against the thing,
your thought is powerless...Copy !req
530. a feather against a mountainCopy !req
531. - That is, unless...
- Unless what?Copy !req
532. Unless you can turn your thought
against itself and any other thoughtCopy !req
533. If you can become pure denial,
pure hate, pure insane fury...Copy !req
534. Then there's a slim chance
that you can annihilate the thingCopy !req
535. But you will annihilate yourself
at the same timeCopy !req
536. - I prefer to be destroyed than enslaved
- They're here!Copy !req
537. Hurry to the shuttle,
and do exactly as I told youCopy !req
538. Obey!Copy !req
539. - Goodbye, Jaffar
- Hurry!Copy !req
540. Jaffar, do you think
I'm a coward and a cry-baby...Copy !req
541. and all those things
Jad called me?Copy !req
542. Of course not.
You're a sweet little gnome, YulaCopy !req
543. And you've very brave.
Now goodbyeCopy !req
544. Thank you, JaffarCopy !req
545. Here is the second individualCopy !req
546. Let's carry him to the bliss
of the samenessCopy !req
547. HappinessCopy !req
548. Happiness upon them!Copy !req
549. Happiness upon us!Copy !req
550. Happiness!Copy !req
551. Unity!Copy !req
552. Are they going to turn us into fodder
for that blob?Copy !req
553. It's more complicated than that...Copy !req
554. but that's the general ideaCopy !req
555. I suggest
that we fight and die togetherCopy !req
556. That won't do any goodCopy !req
557. Don't you understand?
I say we fight themCopy !req
558. We can wipe out a few dozen
before they crush usCopy !req
559. The enemy is there, MattCopy !req
560. All those poor creatures
are nothing but puppetsCopy !req
561. Then let's attack the blobCopy !req
562. - There must be something we can do!
- Yes, there is one thingCopy !req
563. When we're absorbed into it...Copy !req
564. when it tries to turn us
into contented puppets...Copy !req
565. we must hate and deny ourselves
with all the force in our mindsCopy !req
566. We must become madmen
in order to drive it madCopy !req
567. But even if we succeed...Copy !req
568. it will cost us our lives and our soulsCopy !req
569. That suits me fineCopy !req
570. My life isn't worth much,
and my soul is worth nothingCopy !req
571. The ceremony has begun!Copy !req
572. In a few moments...Copy !req
573. the unhappy ones...Copy !req
574. will lose their individualityCopy !req
575. They will be one with usCopy !req
576. We will be one with them!Copy !req
577. All will be unified!Copy !req
578. Say, space mate.
Your thoughts have an odd smellCopy !req
579. Your intention is a funny colourCopy !req
580. That's because I don't appreciate
you calling me a cowardCopy !req
581. Come on. We have very little time
before the Blue Comet passesCopy !req
582. Right. Hold tight!Copy !req
583. Let's go, Matt!
Goodbye!Copy !req
584. No, Jaffar, I'll go!Copy !req
585. If you ever get out of this,
take care of BelleCopy !req
586. Monstrous violation!Copy !req
587. Difference is opposing unity!Copy !req
588. One individual
is hurling himself into totality!Copy !req
589. The ceremony... is disrupted!Copy !req
590. The individual denies it
with all his strength!Copy !req
591. He denies totality!Copy !req
592. Difference denies unity!Copy !req
593. Hatred denies happiness!Copy !req
594. Folly denies peace!Copy !req
595. Jad, Yula!Copy !req
596. By the rings of Saturn!
What are they doing down there?Copy !req
597. I swear,
they've started an interplanetary warCopy !req
598. Why are you so quiet, Mike?
Are you worried?Copy !req
599. No, everything is all right, PielCopy !req
600. Look, Belle! He did it!
He's returning!Copy !req
601. Prepare for departureCopy !req
602. - Jaffar, do you read me?
- RogerCopy !req
603. May I be bamboozled
by the mighty stars!Copy !req
604. What in the devil's name is all that?Copy !req
605. Sorry. I was a little too busy
to warn youCopy !req
606. We have guests for dinnerCopy !req
607. You're a funny Wah-wah, aren't you?Copy !req
608. Have you lost your pals?Copy !req
609. Let's go and look for them togetherCopy !req
610. Are you quite sure he's gentle?Copy !req
611. Oh, yes, Mike.
He's a good friendCopy !req
612. Piel's walking with a thing
that goes, "wah-wah"Copy !req
613. There's nothing to fear.
It's just a hippornithorhynchusCopy !req
614. Gentle as a lamb
and strictly vegetarianCopy !req
615. How are you feeling, Yula?Copy !req
616. You know very wellCopy !req
617. Poor thing!Copy !req
618. When they're asleep,
their thoughts smell the strongestCopy !req
619. I don't understand why humans
stuff themselves with food and drink...Copy !req
620. as soon as they meetCopy !req
621. Not only humansCopy !req
622. Did you see how much
that Centaurian packed away last night?Copy !req
623. I can understand, but...Copy !req
624. I beg your pardon?Copy !req
625. Excuse me.
I'm tuned into...Copy !req
626. the thoughts
of that moustached man...Copy !req
627. who drank three
quarts of moonshine last nightCopy !req
628. He can't prevent...Copy !req
629. his glottis from convulsing
and neither can ICopy !req
630. Try to close your mindCopy !req
631. I can't.
I have the hangovers of...Copy !req
632. 32 people, all at the...Copy !req
633. same timeCopy !req
634. - Is everything all right?
- YesCopy !req
635. Belle, I haven't yet told you
how Matton diedCopy !req
636. Don't bother. I'm sure he died
as I wish he would have lived...Copy !req
637. with generosity and courageCopy !req
638. Silbad?Copy !req
639. - Trouble?
- YesCopy !req
640. We are being pursued
by a warship of the ReformCopy !req
641. Great! Let's attack them!Copy !req
642. Easier said than done.
Right, everyoneCopy !req
643. Meeting in the conference room
at onceCopy !req
644. This is the space cruiser Silver Vessel,
of the Reform Patrol FleetCopy !req
645. Unidentified ship, maintain your speedCopy !req
646. We are going to board youCopy !req
647. This is spaceship Double Triangle 22,
receiving youCopy !req
648. We await your visit with humble respectCopy !req
649. Captain JaffarCopy !req
650. If you hadn't saved my life...Copy !req
651. I'd cut your throat for your cowardiceCopy !req
652. Do you want to surrender to them?Copy !req
653. I want them to board usCopy !req
654. You and your comrades
need your own ship, right?Copy !req
655. Well, you can get theirs, but only
by letting them board ours firstCopy !req
656. The captain's right.
We're stalking big gameCopy !req
657. We must proceed with cautionCopy !req
658. If you have any ideas...Copy !req
659. I believe I have oneCopy !req
660. Allow me to present my good friend,
Onyx the Digeed of GnazCopy !req
661. What's he supposed to do,
make them die laughing?Copy !req
662. Quiet!Copy !req
663. My friend has the natural ability
to mimic anythingCopy !req
664. Go ahead, Onyx,
give us a little demonstrationCopy !req
665. Amazing!
It even has the smellCopy !req
666. Onyx fully controls
his molecular structure...Copy !req
667. and can change it
in an infinite number of waysCopy !req
668. Hey, Onyx...Copy !req
669. change yourself
into a secret weaponCopy !req
670. Something dreadful!Copy !req
671. By the rings of Saturn!Copy !req
672. It's amazing
what they can do nowadaysCopy !req
673. As you can see,
the illusion is perfectCopy !req
674. I must admit, that opens up
a lot of possibilitiesCopy !req
675. What do you think, Silbad?Copy !req
676. I think the Reformists
are in for a bad timeCopy !req
677. A ship full of foul-smelling thoughts
is approachingCopy !req
678. Attention, everyoneCopy !req
679. As soon as the airlock is sealed,
keep your mouths shutCopy !req
680. Jad and Yula, if anything goes wrong...Copy !req
681. warn me by telepathyCopy !req
682. Honourable representatives
of the Reform...Copy !req
683. I welcome you on board
my humble shipCopy !req
684. Your ship is giving refuge to Matton,
the traitor, former prince of AtralCopy !req
685. And the treasure chest
that was stolen by the traitorCopy !req
686. SilenceCopy !req
687. Actually, it was while defending
this mysterious chest that Matt...Copy !req
688. that the prince was murdered
by the pirates of Gamma 10Copy !req
689. Matton is dead?
And where's the chest now?Copy !req
690. In the hold,
with the pirates we took prisonerCopy !req
691. Let's go and see
that treasure chestCopy !req
692. - Halt! Leave that here
- But it's not a weaponCopy !req
693. Do as you're told!Copy !req
694. Me and Wah-wah found a caveCopy !req
695. We'll be safe here
until his friends comeCopy !req
696. Go on, Wah-wah.
Go on inCopy !req
697. Don't leave me alone.
Do something!Copy !req
698. What a bunch!Copy !req
699. Our prisoners...
the pirates of Gamma 10Copy !req
700. May I suggest that Your Excellencies
have these creatures re-educated?Copy !req
701. Perhaps. We'll seeCopy !req
702. Everything's fine, JaffarCopy !req
703. They don't see the trapCopy !req
704. They don't see anything.
They're all blindCopy !req
705. Captain, that was a good catchCopy !req
706. Guards, prepare
for immediate transhipmentCopy !req
707. Silbad, how long do you think it will take
them to become masters of the vessel?Copy !req
708. With the Digeed, their secret weapon,
two hours...Copy !req
709. They might prefer
to stretch out the pleasureCopy !req
710. The microphone is no longer workingCopy !req
711. - Answer me, little one!
- We've lost him!Copy !req
712. I'm afraid we'll never hear
from him again!Copy !req
713. Come on, Belle.
Don't worryCopy !req
714. Silbad will fix itCopy !req
715. There's nothing to fix. The problem is,
there's no one at the other endCopy !req
716. No offence,
but you're not very prettyCopy !req
717. In fact, you're ugly... all of youCopy !req
718. Go away!Copy !req
719. Do you hear me?
Go away!Copy !req
720. Clear off!Copy !req
721. I've given her a sedativeCopy !req
722. She's convinced it's her faultCopy !req
723. Nonsense. Something
must have happened on PerdideCopy !req
724. Fortunately, we're getting nearerCopy !req
725. Soon the computer will release us
from the Blue Comet's gravitational fieldCopy !req
726. Hello, Piel?
Can you hear me?Copy !req
727. The stars, they're fading out
in the sector of PerdideCopy !req
728. What is that?
A magnetic storm?Copy !req
729. I don't knowCopy !req
730. But all the dials are going crazy!Copy !req
731. Or maybe we are...Copy !req
732. What's going on?Copy !req
733. According to these instruments...Copy !req
734. all the radiations in the sector,
including light...Copy !req
735. are going backwards!Copy !req
736. Buckle up, quick!Copy !req
737. AttentionCopy !req
738. This is Patrol Robot number five...Copy !req
739. of the fleet of the Federation
of the Time MastersCopy !req
740. This is a warningCopy !req
741. You are approaching
the forbidden zone of PerdideCopy !req
742. Identify yourselves
and decelerate to a stopCopy !req
743. I repeatCopy !req
744. You are entering a forbidden zoneCopy !req
745. Identify yourselves and stopCopy !req
746. Calling adviser PixaCopy !req
747. An unidentified vessel
is entering the forbidden zoneCopy !req
748. Its course is irregularCopy !req
749. Shall we destroy it?Copy !req
750. No. I want a thorough investigationCopy !req
751. Board the vessel
and escort it to the baseCopy !req
752. Captain Jaffar and his crew
should consider themselves luckyCopy !req
753. We managed to save
those odd creaturesCopy !req
754. Good. They're very valuable
from a scientific point of viewCopy !req
755. - Silbad as well?
- YesCopy !req
756. But in truth, the old man is dyingCopy !req
757. It's just a question of hoursCopy !req
758. You and your ship were at the fringe
of the danger area...Copy !req
759. when the operation took placeCopy !req
760. - What operation?
- Do you know where we are?Copy !req
761. Well, I can see we're in a hospital
somewhere in spaceCopy !req
762. Not just somewhere in space, PrincessCopy !req
763. We are in a particular zone now
being colonised by the Time MastersCopy !req
764. Have you ever heard of their method
of accelerated colonisation?Copy !req
765. No, neverCopy !req
766. It's a strange race, PrincessCopy !req
767. They can manipulate time itselfCopy !req
768. When they decide to colonise a planet,
they project it into the past...Copy !req
769. literally send it backwards through timeCopy !req
770. In the case of Perdide,
60 years backwardsCopy !req
771. So for those on a distant ship...Copy !req
772. it would seem as if light rays
were speeding in reverse...Copy !req
773. and all of space were going madCopy !req
774. Exactly. But to those
on the planet being colonised...Copy !req
775. everything seems normal...Copy !req
776. except that their present time
would be that of 60 years agoCopy !req
777. And that's what happened to PerdideCopy !req
778. My God, Piel!Copy !req
779. Mike...Copy !req
780. Jaffar, how old is Silbad?Copy !req
781. No one knowsCopy !req
782. No one's ever known
anything about his childhoodCopy !req
783. Keep quietCopy !req
784. The old man's past
is rising from the depthsCopy !req
785. - Shut your eyes, humans
- And open your mindsCopy !req
786. For what was hidden in the folds of time
can now be revealedCopy !req
787. Now long-lost memories...Copy !req
788. the unknown past of a small child...Copy !req
789. will be projected
on your mental screensCopy !req
790. Shut your eyes, humans,
and open your mindsCopy !req
791. Mike! Mike!Copy !req
792. - It's Piel's voice!
- Silence, humansCopy !req
793. It's Piel...Copy !req
794. just as he was
when we were approaching PerdideCopy !req
795. No, Belle.
It's Piel as he was 60 years agoCopy !req
796. It's Piel hurled into the past,
along with the entire planet...Copy !req
797. by the Time MastersCopy !req
798. Lowry! Cover me!Copy !req
799. Get away from him, filthy creatures!Copy !req
800. I hope those filthy beasts
didn't hurt you too much, sonCopy !req
801. I've done everything I couldCopy !req
802. The doctors on my planet
will do the restCopy !req
803. And now the best thing
you can do is sleepCopy !req
804. Where are we now, Lowry?
What sector is it?Copy !req
805. Those monsters!Copy !req
806. Speak up, Lowry!
Didn't you hear me?Copy !req
807. I'm sorry. I was thinkingCopy !req
808. You're getting old, LowryCopy !req
809. Alas, Igor, aren't we all?Copy !req
810. I'll have none of your insolence!Copy !req
811. Now, then, be good enough
to explain to me...Copy !req
812. why we suddenly found ourselves
on the surface of a planet...Copy !req
813. when just a moment before
we were in empty space?Copy !req
814. - Were you daydreaming?
- I had nothing to do with it, IgorCopy !req
815. It was the planet's faultCopy !req
816. - What planet?
- The planet PerdideCopy !req
817. It suddenly appeared before usCopy !req
818. Come now, don't be silly!Copy !req
819. - Where did it come from?
- From the futureCopy !req
820. Lowry!Copy !req
821. I think you're becoming senileCopy !req
822. I am not becoming senile!Copy !req
823. The planet Perdide surged out of
the future and almost smashed into usCopy !req
824. But the child, Lowry, the child...Copy !req
825. Did he also "surge out of the future",
as you say?Copy !req
826. Exactly, Igor, with the planetCopy !req
827. It's stoppedCopy !req
828. I know what happened.
The child recoveredCopy !req
829. He became a cabin boy,
then a space sailor...Copy !req
830. a pilot, a mercenary...Copy !req
831. a hundred other things
that filled 60 years of his lifeCopy !req
832. The orphan of Perdide is dead, humansCopy !req
