All language subtitles for The Ink Thief s01e04 Earth, Water, Cheese and Air

think of that?

Ha!

You see, Samantha, the official
organisation of bumps may work in

ways, but we always get there in the
end. Get where?

What's cheese got to do with anything?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about an archetypal
adventure.

A journey of a hundred light centuries.

A search.

A race against time.

At first I thought it was a joke.

But searching for it as a variable, I
found that there was actually an

interdimensional galaxy in which cheese
is elemental.

And where the whole structure of the
satellite is made out of cheese.

I'm also sorry, dear boy, but I'm not
quite with you. He's losing his tooties,

boss. He's got cheese in his brain. I
know what. How about we stick him in a

machine? Cheese?

Did somebody say cheese?

Well, out there.

Where is out there?

That's the apocalyptic spiral.

It's a hundred life centuries sideways
from here. And it's where we must go to

protect the world from the thief and to
get James back.

Jeez, of course.

Had to be the spiral. We will go to the
apocalyptic spiral.

We will find the four bumps of the
apocalypse who have not been together

the beginning of the apocalypse itself.

And we will bring them together again.

Not even a selfishness bomb like the
thief can stand against earth, water,

cheese and air.

Anyone who goes to the apocalyptic
spiral faces a journey of extreme

What we are talking about is taking a
leap into the unknown from which none of

us may return.

Oh, so it's my problem there.

Got to keep an eye on the page.

Loose habits, you know.

It's getting dark.

I've got to do a staircase about a
creek.

Hi! you going with them, Lutetia? Of
course I am. This is personal and you

it. Well, I'm sure the entire oob join
with me in being behind you all the way

and wishing you a bumpy ride.

Roll away.

Behind you.

Thanks, everybody. I'm sure you've all
been a great help, I think.

Yes, absolutely.

Well done all.

Meeting adjourned.

It's the apocalyptic spiral.

Oh, right.

Oh, no.

Not the aprop... We're going there to
get Jim back.

I'd say it's our only chance.

Then I'm going.

I'll go by myself if I have to.

Would you be scared?

Sure. But I'm going anyhow.

Well, then, I'm going too.

We can be scared together.

I've never had anybody to be scared with
before.

to stop us from making a perfect world.
Well, she can't. But the book says that

the four bumps together can neutralize
any power.

They're the elemental bumps.

What do we do?

Elementally, my dear, what's it?

We neutralize them.

There has been yesterday's bumps
history.

We've followed Higgle.

Higgle finds them. We finish them.

Oh,

together they were something once, but
not anymore.

Ah, water.

Cheese. Terrible name for a group.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

What's all this about cheese?

I think you've got cats on the brain.

Right.

I've changed for the journey.

Changed what?

Like yours.

Practical. Good for a journey.

First clothes I've imagined since 1885.

Move with the times, I always say.

Ah, the inferior decorator. And none too
soon.

Where have you been, Messer Floppet? I
told you that tonight we were to

receive special guests.

I want finesse. I want flair. I want
this place to look awesomely awful.

And I want it hours ago.

The

book says that

the awful allies never come to the same
universe twice.

I hope they'll want to stay and help us.

Oh, I... I think they will. The book
also says they'll help anyone who has

enough power, which I do.

I've arranged a really terrible night.

I think they'll rather enjoy it.

It's awfully dangerous, though, inviting
them into this dimension.

They're very dark forces.

I know it's not a very scientific thing
to say, but, well, they're evil.

Yes.

but a necessary evil if the four bumps
should ever get together again.

I suppose so.

I guess it's a bit like atomic weapons.

Really?

Tell me about atomic weapons.

Lhythm, catacomb, catalectic, catalogue,
catalytic.

What is that?

Bootleg bump alley cat.

always found in the wrong place at the
wrong time.

That should be easy enough.

No -one ever gets the four bumps back
together because no -one ever bothers

about the catalyst.

Told you we could do it.

Lorne will catch us up.

Let's go.

Not you.

Sam. Oh, Miss T.

Please let me go. Please let me go.

It's rent -shut and you know... on good
adventures.

It's true.

Dog's had more adventures than even she
can hardly imagine.

This may be her finest hour.

Dog is going to protect this end of the
universe while we're gone.

Dog is going to be our watchdog.

She is?

Okay, you go.

Dom's gonna watch.

You call this atmosphere?

Where's the filth? Where's the decay?

Where's the ambiance?

Would a phantom live in a place like
this, you jest?

Would a Dracula? He wouldn't be caught
dead in it.

It's not good enough.

Tonight's a special occasion, and this
place should be revolting.

How

do

we get there?

We jump.

No way.

I'll jump first.

No. Okay, you jump first.

No, I said.

Why not?

Because I can't fly.

Oh, we said anything about flying.

Well, what do we do then?

We fall.

Well, I do believe it's time for all the
invitations received.

I've checked.

It wasn't very pleasant, but I did.

They should come when you call.

Well, doing what a man must do is not
always pleasant.

I know that we need the awful allies to
be sure that we can defeat the four

bunts. But they are horrible.

Not a very scientific term, is it?

Horrible. I do try and be scientific.

But I'm only human.

And sometimes it's hard.

Only human.

Only human.

Oh dear, dear Jim.

What is science in aid of if not for
humanity?

Why are you and I down here, away from
the world, missing so

much, if not for the sake of humanity?

Yes, that is why.

I miss my parents and my sister, and I'm
afraid of what's coming to dinner.

But we are here for the sake of
humanity.

Again, my all for humanity.

All my striving.

The search for power, longing to be free
of bumble and become a winner of the

human race. And you say, I'm only human.

Not yet, anyway.

I'm not what I could be.

But through any day.

You see, I've been praying for the day I
find a word.

I'm praying for the day when I could
say, I'm only human.

I'm not like you.

And you are not like me.

But I'm not like you.

I've just got to be.

Yes, I've been brilliant, but today I
can find a way.

I'm brilliant today.

I'm only human.

I'd say that I will.

Like a regular guy.

Hang in there, boss.

What do we do, Hit? What do we do?

Start the machine.

It's running everything we've got. It
needs power.

There's nothing left to throw. We've
thrown it all already to make him super

fast. Stay with him. I'll look in the
book. There must be something we can do.

You're supposed to stay with me.

I'm scared.

We're supposed to be scared together.

How can you be scared, Lonely Snoop? Of
course he's scared. We're falling into a

planet. Aren't you just the least bit
curious what it's going to be like?

No.

It's a whole new world to Snoop on.

What?

If you seize a dragon, right, you've got
to fight it.

Why? Well, if I seize armor, I've got to
make it creak. Ah.

Ah, duty quite.

A bum's got to do what a bum's got to
do.

Ah.

The machine... Bidded him out. I said to
leave him a little power.

He's just hibernating.

I... I confess to being a trifle
confused, dear boy. A hibernating bump.

Grinning like the idiot he is.

An ink thief feeling almost real.

Filled with power.

Oh, I'm puzzled.

Pleased.

But still puzzled.

It's obvious.

If children have... of imagination
power, then a bump must be nothing but

So you put a bump into the machine.

Oh, how very human.

How wonderful.

Where could I have been all my life?

How could I have missed it?

There must be enough power in the oomph
to make me a man.

the four bumps of the apocalypse.

Is this my kind of chance to make a
perfect world?

Yes, I'm that too.

Yes, Toddy.

What do I do with this?

Oh, I've got a system for that.

We're going to have to catch lots of
them.

So I'm going to have to need a system.

Hear that, cat?

We're going to bump up all the bumps.

Me too. I'm going to jump up and bump
up.

wonderful.

I

learnt

about it from the book.

Some of the earlier issues used to
actually run the toy shop upstairs.

They put imagination power in toys for
children.

They used this to send the toys up into
the shop.

It's a nice idea.

Once we start getting the world right,
we can do it again.

It's an utterly... Sweet idea.

But first we have to deal with Tigger
and those has -beens, the four bumps.

We've lost the awful allies, but I have
a feeling that a super -bump -powered

ink thief will be all the awful we need.

Jim, get ready to travel.

Toddy and Aloysius, you come with me.

We're going to get breakfast.

Thank you.

Oh, please.

Oh, no!

No!
