All language subtitles for Lost in Space - 01x22 - The Challenge.eng

Last week, as you recall,

Will and Dr. Smith went to
sleep outside the Jupiter 2,

hoping an elaborate alarm system
they had set up..-

...would entrap
a mysterious invader

that lurked somewhere
out in the shadows.

Dr. Smith.
Dr. Smith, wake up!

There's something coming
into the campsite.

Call me when breakfast is ready.
Shh.

Dr. Smith, hurry up!
He'll get away!

What? What?

Oh! Oh!

Where?

Dr. Smith, this way!
Shh! Shh!

I don't see anything.

The lights are set to turn on
25 seconds after the alarm.

Look. Look.

There it is, I think.

Where are those
blasted lights?

Ah.

I can get a good shot
at it now.

No, Dr. Smith! Don't!

It's not an animal!

What? What?

Dr. Smith, watch out!

Run!

He's there. He's there.

Keep away!

Take it easy, son.
We won't hurt you.

Keep away!

Careful. Careful. We're
dealing with a savage.

We're willing to be
friendly if you are.

How 'bout it?
Keep away!

My name is John Robinson. I'm from
a planet called Earth. This is...

I do not care who you are.
You are enemies.

No, we're not.
Unless you insist on it.

Why don't you put that spear away.
We could talk.

Agreed. But if you plan treachery,
take warning. I will kill.

And he means it too. I was very
nearly run through by his spear.

I'm Will Robinson.

I am called Quano.

I am 12 years old.
I am very brave and strong.

Would you like to fight
and see who's the better man?

Fight?
I'd rather be your friend.

You are afraid of me.
You are a coward.

You'd better watch
who you're calling names,

'cause if you're
looking for a fight...

Take it easy, Will. How did
you learn our language?

From my father.
He knows many languages.

How long have you been here?

I do not speak to
weak and worthless girls.

Why you conceited,
dirty-faced little boy!

You're nothing but a bully.

A half-pint bully!
Penny!

Luckily you are female,

or I would make you sorry
for what you have said.

Hostile little ruffian.

Some discipline
applied to the seat

of your trousers
is exactly what you need.

A hot bath and some good
food is more to the point.

Would you like
something to eat?

lam not hungry.
I will go now.

You're welcome
to spend the night here.

I have a sleeping bag
you can use.

I want nothing
from any of you.

Well,
primitive little brute.

Thank goodness
he didn't stay.

He would have murdered
all of us in our beds.

Quano may not be as uncivilized
as you think, Doctor.

Did you notice what he was
wearing around his neck?

It looked like
an ornament of some kind.

It was an extremely advanced
communications system,

probably powerful enough
to send and receive

signals from another planet.

I wonder
what he was doing here.

Judging from his attitude,

I would say he was
definitely up to no good.

I suggest we make sure the
spaceship is well-secured

before we retire
for the night.

I think he's right, Mother.
Come on, Penny.

Dr. Smith, there's no reason
to alarm the children.

Now, surely you're not worried
about a 12-year-old boy.

My dear madam, when you're dealing
with a dangerous creature,

age is of no consequence.

A one-year-old viper
is just as formidable

as a 12-year-old viper.

If you'll excuse me, I shall say good
night and retire to my quarters,

where I shall certainly
bolt my door.

Thank you, darling.

A boy his age
has no business

wandering around in
the wilderness at night.

I should've insisted
that he stay here.

Maybe you'll get another chance to ask him.
Quano is here.

Where? I don't see him.

He's been hiding
behind those rocks

over there for
the last 30 minutes.

Oh, shame on you,
John Robinson,

letting that boy stand
there and watch us eat.

Why didn't you
invite him to join us?

Darling, you don't ask
that young man to do anything.

He has to make
the first move.

Well, if he won't,
I will.

I know you're
hiding back there,

so you might just
as well come out.

Won't you come to the table? Come on.
I'd like to fix you some breakfast.

I have eaten.
Are you sure?

My word
is not to be questioned.

If I say it,
then it is so.

Good morning, Quano.

Greetings.

What, may I ask,
are you staring at?

I was wondering if you are a typical
specimen of the Earth people.

Typical? I'? Certainly not.

I have a great deal
more intelligence.

Then you Earthlings
indeed are a sorry lot.

Weak and full of vanity.

Now there's the best description
of Smith I've ever heard.

Indeed.

I don't know how they raise
children on your planet.

But on ours, we teach them
respect and good manners.

Except for my father,
I'm answerable to no one.

What about your mother? Doesn't she
have a say in your upbringing?

She always bows
to the wishes of my father.

Well, it sounds
like a marvelous setup.

Is your father with you?
No.

He is the Ruler.
He is too busy.

What does that mean, Quano?
"He is the Ruler"?

In your world there are
presidents, kings and dictators.

In mine there is
only one, The Ruler.

Are you telling us that

your father is the leader
of your planet?

My command will be law.

Well, what do you know.
We're entertaining royalty.

Royal... Your Highness!

Your Highness,

why didn't you tell us
who you were?

Please, sir,
won't you sit down?

Is there anything I...

Is there anything
I can do for you?

At the moment,
lam in need of nothing.

Well,
if you do require anything,

Your Highness,
please ask me for it.

Looks like Quano has added
another abject subject

to his kingdom.

Here are the vegetables
you wanted, Mom.

Aw!

You do the work of women.
You should be ashamed.

Thank you, dear.

If no one else needs me, I'm going
hunting for rock specimens.

I, too, am going hunting.
Shall we go together?

Sure, why not.

I'm coming along too.

You will stay!
You were not asked.

Let us go.

I won't be gone long.

Oh, why,
that horrid little boy!

I don't think Quano would
mind being called "horrid,"

but I think he'd
object most strenuously

to being called
a "little boy."

Ah, I, of course, am quite
familiar with royalty,

but that dreadful little
prince will bear watching.

However, have no fear,
Smith is here.

Oh, thank you.

I want some specimens
from this formation.

But you have already collected
a bagful of useless rocks.

They're not useless to me.

lam truly sorry for you.

Wasting your time in idle pursuits.
It is unmanly.

Now let's not
start that again.

But it is true.

You are my age

and still you act
like a small boy.

What do you
expect me to do,

go around
stickin' my chest out,

telling everybody
what a tough guy I am?

You should build
up your strength,

test your courage.

I'll take brain
over brawn any day.

You do not understand. You have
been badly raised by your father.

Don't do that! And I
haven't been badly raised.

Would you like to know

what I'm doing
on this planet?

I am being tested
by my father.

Tested for what?

For strength and courage.

I must prove that I am worthy
of being the Ruler someday.

For a whole week,
I have slept out in the open,

lived on anything
I could find.

Hey, that's really great.

It wasn't so much.
The real test is coming.

Then my bravery
shall really be proven.

Forget about
these old rocks.

Come. I will show you
what I'm going to do.

There is the cave.

This is your weapon.
We shall go inside.

Okay. So what are we
gonna find in there?

You will see.

Why are you waiting?
Come on.

Not until you tell
me what's in there.

You are afraid.

No, I'm not. I'd just like to
know what I'm getting into.

Suspected from the first
that you are a coward.

Go back where you belong,
little Earth boy,

back to your
rocks and vegetables.

Wait. I'm going with you.

Well, come on, then. Or do you
want to think about it some more?

Well,okay, so we're in the cave.
Now what?

We prove our courage
in the face of danger.

Hey-o!

Are you sure you know
what you're doing?

There is still time
to leave if you wish.

If you stay, I stay.

It's coming!

Perhaps we should test our
courage another time.

You know somethin'?
That's a good idea.

Only one of us can make it.
I said go!

Quano. Quano!

Quano! Quano!

Get back.

Quano, are you all right?

Then I am free to say
what a fool you are.

What possessed you to confront
such a formidable beast

armed with
such a primitive weapon?

I wished to prove
my courage to the Earth boy.

Instead, you proved
your stupidity.

I'm exceedingly sorry,
Father.

You did well, Earth boy.

Thank you, sir.

You showed great courage.

The truth is I was
too scared to run.

Even the bravest man
experiences fear.

You will grow well,
big and strong.

It will not do him
any good.

He allows himself to do
the work of women.

And he does not
truly have courage.

He was trapped
by the animal.

Even the most timid creature will
fight if there is no escape.

That's not true.
I'm as brave as you are.

You are weak and soft, like
all boys of your planet.

Maybe you'd like to find out
how weak and soft I am.

Nothing would
please me more.

Enough!

If you have differences,
they will be settled later.

Return to your family.
They will be concerned.

You're welcome to come
to our campsite, sir.

Perhaps later.

Good-bye, sir.

I only came here
because I remember

that you killed such a beast
when you were my age.

All right.
You are forgiven.

You have misjudged
the Earth boy, Father.

lam far superior to him
in all ways.

Do not be so sure. He might
prove a very worthy opponent.

Then I shall challenge him.

And you will see for yourself
who is the better man.

Ah.

How are we coming along?

Task will be completed
at 1400 hours.

Splendid. What other work do I
have on my schedule for today?

Correction.
In reference to work,

you should have referred
to me instead of yourself.

Should I indeed? If you have
a complaint to register,

I refer you to
the complaint department.

It does not compute.

Never mind.

What else
do we have to do?

We?

Yes, we.

Are you laughing at me,
you bubble-headed booby?

You heard only my computers being cleared.
I do not laugh.

That's what you say.
Now get on with our work.

Yes, our work.

One of these days, you'll go too
far, you cackling computer!

Your Highness!

How good
to see you again.

And you, sir, must be the proud
father of this bright young man.

Oh.

Your Majesty.

May I introduce myself.
lam Dr. Zachary Smith.

For a man, your grip is weak.

You should exercise.

There is fat
around your middle.

I...

lam a bit out of condition.

You see,
I haven't been well.

I have a very delicate back.

Exercise is a good cure
for many ills.

Not for me it isn't.

The truth is, Your Majesty,
it's this planet.

I have simply never been able
to acclimatize myself to it.

Now if only I could
go back to my own world...

Another time, Dr. Smith.

I wish to talk to the father
of the boy they call Will.

Oh, yes. Professor Robinson.
He's about somewhere.

Now what were we discussing?
Oh, yes.

How much I'd like to return
to the planet Earth.

Oh, Your Majesty,
I hate to ask a favor

on such short
acquaintance but...

Is something wrong, sir?

Your chattering
grates on my nerves.

My father likes men
who are strong and silent.

It would seem that Dr. Smith has
none of these admirable qualities.

Let us find
Professor Robinson.

Yes, Your Majesty.
This way, please.

This way. This way,
Your Majesty, Your Highness.

Now, then,
if you don't mind...

Would you wait right here
for one moment, gentlemen?

Professor Robinson.

Professor Robinson!

There is someone here
who wishes to see you.

Maureen, I think you and Don
better come up here.

I don't suppose
you know very much

about the planet Earth,
Your Majesty.

Oh, it's a delightful place.

Why,even a simple thing
like breathing in the air

makes one glow with
good health and strength.

My father does not wish
to speak to you now.

Oh.

I am known as the Ruler.
I welcome this meeting.

It's a pleasure
to meet you.

Good. We know
each other better now.

Is there anything
we can do for you?

A strong handshake. A direct question.
I like that.

Are you hereto take Quano
back to your planet?

Soon. He has acquitted himself well here.
I have met your son.

He, too,
has much in his favor.

But I can beat him.

When you prove your superiority,
you may brag and not before.

In his eagerness for the
challenge, my son speaks rashly.

What sort of a challenge?

This does not
concern you, woman.

It is a matter
for men to decide.

I don't know about
your world, but in ours,

women are treated
as the equals of men.

What a foolish arrangement.

Well, I don't see
anything foolish about it.

Women the equal of men?
In what way'?

Are they stronger than men?

Do they have
more intelligence?

Do they make laws
or fight wars?

This will be an excellent
story to tell when I return home.

I can hear the boys at the
club laughing already.

My son wishes to meet yours
in a series of contests.

A meeting in which they pit
their skills and strength

against one another.

There is nothing
to worry about.

There will be no
physical danger.

What is the nature
of these contests?

We use these tests
on my planet to determine

who is a master
and who is a slave.

No! I won't permit it.

Your opinion
is not required!

I don't care. Will doesn't have
to prove himself to anybody.

Maureen.

Was this your idea?

No, my son's.
But I heartily approve.

It's fine for the winner,
Your Majesty,

but it might be drastic
for the loser,

and his parents.

lam not interested in anyone's
opinion other than Mr. Robinson.

It is he who will decide.

Well, the answer's no.

You have good reasons?

As my wife just said, Will doesn't
have to prove himself to anyone.

When the situation arises,
he'll know what to do.

Like father, like son.
Both are cowards.

You take that back!

Will!
You've been asking for this!

Will! Will!

Let me loose, Dad!

I accept the challenge.
I accept!

Now what do you say,
Mr. Robinson?

I'd say that your son's
challenge has been accepted.

John, I still don't see why you
can't call this whole thing off.

What possible excuse
could I give?

It's very simple. Just tell him
that you've changed your mind.

What about Will?

He'd be disappointed,
but he'd get over it.

Yes, I suppose so.

Oh, good.
Then it's all settled.

Tomorrow you'll go
to the aliens and tell them.

Maureen, I'd like to do
what you want, but I can't.

There's more to it than
Will's being disappointed.

There's a question
of his pride.

If I call off that contest,

he'll think I don't have
any confidence in him.

Is that your only reason?

No, it isn't. I want him
to meet that boy.

I don't care if
he wins or loses.

He's gotta have
that opportunity.

I think you're almost glad that
Will is going to meet Quano.

In a way, I am.
Oh, John, that's...

Maureen, look. I don't care how
primitive or civilized a man is,

he welcomes a challenge.

Why, it's part of his nature to
test his intelligence and skill,

as well as his strength.

And without these things,

we'd be living in caves,
eating out of stone bowls.

That sounds like quite a lecture
we just missed, Professor.

It couldn't be you want Will
to go ahead with the contests.

You have an answer to that,
Mrs. Robinson?

Well,

we can't go back to
the Stone Age, can we?

Mother, what does the Stone
Age have to do with it?

Well, I don’t
really know, dear,

but it all seems quite clear
when your father explains it.

Turn on your
long-range audio detectors.

I want to hear
what they're saying.

Such procedure...
Shh!

Is unethical.

What? Shh!

Repeat. Is unethical.

Their conversation
may be highly personal.

I am not interested in your
misguided moral principles.

All is fair in love and war.

Love?
That does not compute.

It never has.

Well, you laggard,
you're wasting time!

Bzzzz!

I cannot clear
the frequency length.

Try!

Bzzzz!

This time you must win.

Don't worry, sir. I will.

That is what you told
me on your last challenge.

If you are defeated,
you know what will happen.

I will have to destroy the
victor and all witnesses.

It is our law. No one
must be superior to you.

All, witnesses?

I know, Father.

The boy, Will,
is young and strong.

It would be a pity to end his life.
You must win.

I do not
wish to continue.

I was not designed
to eavesdrop.

Who cares about
your design, sir?

We cannot let Will win.

The Ruler will
destroy all of us.

But what course
of action is left?

You just leave that to me.

Come along.
We'll go back to the camp.

What are you doing here?

Just, uh.

Out for a little stroll, Your
Majesty, for a bit of fresh air.

You lie. You were spying.
What did you hear?

Nothing. Nothing.

Hardly anything.

Whatever you heard,
you will keep your silence.

If you tell
the others anything,

you will be destroyed.

No matter what happens, the
contest must be fair and open.

Is that understood?

Of course.

Fair and open. What other
way would anyone want it?

Your Majesty.

One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.

Put a bit more
snap in there, William.

Good.

How was the time on that?

32.06713 seconds.

Splendid. Use this
for a moment, my boy.

Then take
a few more laps.

I'll have to rest
a while, Dr. Smith.

Nonsense. How do you expect to get
into shape if you don't work out?

You've got to harden those leg
muscles and build up your wind.

Excessive exercise is not
beneficial for an athlete.

When I want your opinion,
I'll ask for it.

Our boy will lose
this fight in the gym.

Oh, spare me
your ridiculous jargon.

And since when did
he become our boy'?

He's my boy! I'm his
sole trainer and manager.

And I'll thank you to restrict your
activities to tending that stopwatch.

How's it going?

My boy's doing very well.

He's in the peak
of condition.

Here, I'll run those laps
for you now, Dr. Smith.

Good, good!

Will, wait a minute.
Hold it.

How long have you
been exercising?

Since 0800 hours.

You've been exercising
that boy for three hours?

Dr. Smith said
it'd be good for me.

I'll bet he did.
Go take a shower, Will.

Sure, Don.

Get some rest, huh?

You've tried some pretty
underhanded things in your life,

but this one tops them all.

I have no idea what
you're referring to.

Don't give me
that innocent act!

You're trying to wear Will
out, so Quano will beat him.

That's absolutely
ridiculous, Major.

My loyalties
are not to be questioned.

The only loyalty you've got,
Smith, is to yourself.

Nothing would please me more than
to have our Will emerge victorious.

On the other hand,
if he were to be defeated,

no great harm
will have been done.

Except to Will.

You've got
an angle here, Smith.

What is it?

Angle? What angle?

You're hiding something.
Let's have it.

It's nothing.
Nothing at all.

It's just that I'm not too
concerned about Will losing.

After all, a return to Earth
with the grateful Ruler,

would do much to cure
the boy's injured spirit.

"Return to Earth."

I've heard that
tired old song before.

And the music is
still just as sweet.

You may be content
with your lot

on this dreary,
desolate planet,

but I yearn for
the green hills of home.

You're really consistent,
Smith, you know that?

In what way?

Winning or losing
doesn't matter to you,

just as long as you can
cheat at the game.

You tin-plated traitor!

We thought you'd
like a coffee break.

You've been
at that for hours.

Well, thank you.

Ah, great.
Just what we needed.

Like the Ruler said,

men are stronger
and smarter,

but women make
the best coffee.

Well, that depends
on the woman.

Ah, and the coffee.

It's nice to know we're
capable of doing something.

Can you imagine Quano believing
that girls are worthless?

I have a strong feeling he'll change
his opinion when he grows up.

I like them now.

But it is not manly to pay
too much attention to them.

May I enter?

Why, of course.

Is there something
we can do for you, Quano?

I bring you greetings
from my father.

As his spokesman, I also
have a message for you.

My father wishes to
inform you

that he has prepared an area
suitable for the challenge.

The ground is good and firm
and offers a good footing.

If acceptable,

the contest will begin at
the hour of 10:00 tomorrow.

Failure of your son, or his
substitute, to appear,

will be considered
an act of cowardice

and a penalty
enacted against you.

What sort of a penalty?

That would be
for my father to decide.

John, there was nothing said
about a penalty before.

And what does
he mean by substitute?

These are the rules
which govern the challenge.

You tell your father
we'll be there.

I shall return and take you to
the athletic field tomorrow.

I didn't like him before, and I
think he's even more icky now.

Don't be too hard
on Quano, Penny.

Beneath that tough, militant
exterior is a 12-year-old boy.

That may be true,
Don, but you'd have to dig

pretty deep to find him.

Well, where is he? You said
he would come back this way.

My deductions place the chances
at 90 to one in our favor.

The odds are very good.

Obviously you've
miscalculated, again.

There is always a margin of
error, even in a machine.

Only Dr. Zachary Smith
is perfect.

I am indeed, and don't
you forget about it.

Are you sure
you're not laughing at me?

Reporting. Alien boy approaching.
Alien boy...

I heard you the first time.

Now stop chattering and
give your computers a rest.

Your Highne...

That bubble-brain is getting
completely out of hand!

If you move, I will fire.

Your Highness, it's me,
Dr. Smith, your friend.

I know who you are. As for being
my friend, that is doubtful.

You may lower your hands.

Thank you, Your Highness. It was
a very uncomfortable position.

Well, I must say
you're looking fit.

In good physical condition
for the challenge, I hope?

I shall win.

I have no doubt
about that at all.

But there is always the possibility,
slight though it may be,

that something may go wrong.

A little help

might be of great benefit.

My father says a man who does
not speak with directness

is not to be trusted.

Perhaps I was a trifle subtle,

so I'll get
right to the point.

I can help you
beat Will Robinson.

You can? How, may I ask?

There are more ways than one of
skinning a cat, as they say.

I happen to enjoy the
confidence of your opponent

A bit of wrong advice
at the crucial moment,

and you win.

And what would you want in
return for this betrayal?

Almost nothing.

All I ask is that your father

make provisions
to take me back to Earth.

Well, Your Highness,
what do you say?

You are very lucky,
Dr. Smith.

Had you made your
offer to my father,

he might have done
you harm in his anger.

He is a man of honor.

And it seems that his son is a
chip off the old block.

For your sake, I will
say nothing about this.

But do not
speak to me again.

I dislike traitors.

Your Highness.
Your Highness.

Indeed.

The first time I set eyes on that
boy, I knew he was a savage.

Statement. If my
programming is correct,

he is much to be admired.

He has principles.

And I have not? Is that
what you're implying?

Do you insist on an answer?
At once!

And you will not remove my power
pack if I speak the truth?

Just answer the question.

Then I choose silence.

Oh, you do, do you?

Bzzzz!

You evasive coward.

You deliberately blew out
your voltage regulators.

John, is it necessary
to go armed?

Oh, it's not necessary.

I just got used to wearing them.
Oh.

And a very wise
precaution too.

Our past experiences
with aliens

have proved that they
are not to be trusted.

Well. And how does our young
athlete feel this morning?

My stomach's
doing flip-flops.

Have no fear, my boy. I have my
medical kit with me just in case.

Thanks. If it's any
consolation, Will,

Quano is probably
just as nervous.

Here he comes now. He
sure looks relaxed to me.

Greetings.
Good morning, Quano.

Greetings to all of you.

Your Highness.

Are you ready?
We're all set.

Then let us go.

I'm coming too.

You will stay here!

Females are not allowed at a challenge.
It is only for men.

Oh, please, Dad,
can't I go along?

I promise I won't be
any trouble.

Penny, I think it's best that you
remain behind with your mother.

Remain? You mean

I'm not allowed
to go either?

This time we'll play it
by their rules, darling.

I hope Will pins
your ears back.

Oh, my pulse is racing.
Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

Wait for me! Wait for me!

That way.

Your Highness,
how much farther?

I asked you
not to speak to me.

A little farther,
Mr. Robinson.

Oh, the pain. The pain.

The end is near.
I know it.

Oh, dear.

Welcome, gentlemen.

You come bearing weapons.
Are you afraid?

Not at all.
Just careful.

That's not exactly a
toothpick you're carrying.

It has been many
thousands of years

since any of my people used
so primitive a weapon.

Its only purpose is to signal
the beginning of the challenge.

Are you ready,
Will Robinson?

Yes, sir.

And you, my son?

I am ready, sir.

Let the challenge begin.

When I give the signal, raise
the rod above your head.

Remember, Will Robinson, to maintain
a firm grip with both hands.

Yes, sir. If you
release the rod at any time,

you will be declared
the loser.

In a moment, we shall see which
of our sons is the stronger.

How are you
going to prove that?

You shall see.

Raise the rod!

Look at the rod.

The actual strength of the two
boys is meeting in the rod.

You all right?

I have beaten you.

Boy, you sure did.

All I did was hold onto that
thing, and now I feel tired.

You did well, my son.

That's all right, Will.

Losing one contest
doesn't mean anything.

You don't have to sound
so pleased about it, Smith.

The next challenge is a test of fear.
Are you ready, Will Robinson?

I guess so.

Let us proceed.

You will wear this,
Will Robinson.

What's going to
happen now?

As you know,
no man is without fear.

This machine will
gauge its degree.

How does it work?

By creating an illusion of great
danger in the boy's mind.

How he reacts

will register
electronically on this gauge.

How's the score stand now,
Dr. Smith?

You and Quano are tied.

Ah, then I didn't do
so bad after all.

That would depend on
how you look at it.

There's one contest left.
I can still win.

You misunderstand me,
my boy.

In my opinion,
you've performed too well.

What? However,
there's still hope.

You can still lose
the last challenge.

You want me to lose?

To be perfectly honest, yes.

You've already covered
yourself with glory, Will.

There's nothing further to be
proved by defeating Quano.

If, on the other hand,
he should win,

we might be able
to talk his father

into taking us
back to Earth.

In other words, you think
I should throw the contest?

Shh!

Crudely but accurately put.

Well, what do you say?

I don't think you understand,
Dr. Smith.

I'm not just trying
to beat Quano for myself.

It's like I was representing
every boy from Earth

against every boy
from another planet.

You're a very noble
young man, William.

Sometimes I wish you were
a little less honest.

Life would be
a great deal easier.

Will?

The 10-minute
rest period's up.

I'm ready to go
when they are, Dad.

The Ruler and Quano seem to be
having some kind of a disagreement.

I
wonder what that's all about.

I can beat him.
I know I can.

The boy
is a worthy opponent.

But I am better!

Give me this last chance
to prove it to you.

I will not risk your defeat.

I will inform
the Earth people.

Father.

Please.

It will be as I say.

You do not believe
that I can defeat him.

That is enough.

Mr. Robinson.

Yes?

The challenge will continue,
but without my son.

But how?

I will act for Quano.
You may act for your son.

It is one of the laws
of the challenge.

If a contestant
wishes to withdraw,

he may appoint a substitute.

What if I refuse?

Then your son will know
you're afraid to face me.

I'll act as a substitute.

We are ill-matched.

Let John Robinson make
his own decision.

How do you want to
settle this?

We could test ourselves in a
duel with the Volta Blades.

The Volta Blades?

I understand.

Watch yourself.

Those blades must be carrying
at least 50,000 volts.

I am ready.

Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

Ah!

The contest is over.

You fight well.

Thank you.

But don't ask me
to do it again.

How do you feel, champ?

Every muscle
in my body's aching.

Where's Quano?

He left in the middle
of the match, sir.

He was real hurt because you didn't
let him continue the challenge.

In my desire to protect him,
I made a mistake.

I should have let him
continue the contest.

Quano took the spear.

The one that you threw
at the target, Mr. Ruler.

What would he want
with so primitive a weapon?

The cave! He's going to
the cave to fight the monster!

Quano would not be so
foolish after I warned him.

Can you think of a better way
for a boy whose pride is hurt

to prove himself
to his father?

Will, my gun.
Here, Dad.

I am Quano, the son of a
brave and mighty Ruler.

I, too, have great courage.

Come forth and I
shall prove it.

Don't shoot.

It was wrong of me to
stop the contest, my son.

Forgive me.

I was afraid
you would be beaten.

It was I who lacked courage.

There is no disgrace
in defeat.

A man does the best he can.

Nothing more can
be asked of him.

Shall we fight the monster
together, Father?

I will be honored, my son.

I think Quano and his father will
have a lot to say to each other.

They'll want to
say it alone. Let's go.

There!

Mm. Mm-hmm.

Mm...Ah!

I beg your pardon.

Well, Penny,
what do you think of it?

Well, I don't know much
about painting, Dr. Smith.

Even a rank amateur
should be able to

recognize my talent
as an artist.

It burns through
the canvas like a beacon,

lighting up
the depths of darkness.

Well, I guess it does,
if you say so.

When we return to Earth,

I shall place my genius
on display for all to see.

I would like to
express an opinion.

You have my permission.

If you have a comment
to make, make it.

I already have.

How dare you!

What does an insensitive brute
like you know about art?

You, who have never
touched brush to canvas?

Away, you cackling clod,
and leave me to my work!

My day of retribution
will surely come.

Do you see what I see?

Well, I think I do.

Whew, that's good,

because I was
beginning to think

something was wrong
with my eyes.

Have your fun, Major.

Just remember they also laughed
at Gauguin and Matisse.

Uh, pardon me.

What's it supposed to be?

You probably
will not understand it,

but it represents
the inner feelings

of the sensitive man
in space.

Notice the blending
of the light.

Warning! Warning!
Dangerous storm approaching!

Advisable refuge be
taken immediately!

Let's get inside!

What about our
equipment outside?

No time. Inside!

Dr. Smith!

Dr. Smith!

My masterpiece!

Let it go!

Come on!
I want my painting!

Don't be a fool.

The tank!
