Original subtitles

Thank you.

They caught me and a bunch of others on a plugot roundup.

Plugots are what the frowls called us then.

That's a frowl. They ran everything.

And that's me, Gruss, a prisoner in the comb with a frisco.

Their ruler, the tiara.

She was giving us hot scan deciding what she was going to do with us.

I didn't need heavy smarts to figure things were going cold, Nate.

That means very bad.

Cedar.

Macho.

Macho. The Frowls called their slaves machos.

They did all the hard work.

Sure wasn't something I wanted to be.

Cedar.

Machos. Market.

Cedars were for one thing and one thing only.

Making baby frowls.

Tiara had picked Corvus out for her own daughter, Veena.

Didn't take much to get the closet set. At least a little thing would set them

off.

I

was

not scanning for a way out.

Decided to take the first offer that came along.

We headed straight for the old radiation zone.

The Frowls call it the contact.

We didn't know where we'd find them. But we knew one thing.

They wouldn't follow us inside.

It was against their rigs.

Their rules.

It was cold hard.

And we survived.

One day Corvus and me were scrounging for something we could use.

What we found would change our world forever.

Uh, not the hat.

The book.

Determined to free ourselves from the frowns, we banded together in the

contems. We built our own cult out of pieces of a newt mercan space called

Camp Reagan.

I never did figure out what a Reagan was.

I'm a man.

Yeah.

To the Fralls, all men were Pflugats. But there was a difference between these

hairy beasts and us.

They were dumb and hungry.

Really dumb.

And really hungry.

is making such things with free lunch.

She got started scurrying, but not soon enough.

Meanwhile, back at the comb, things were going on as usual.

Lakella, the Tiara's second, or next in line, was sharpening up her act.

Fraud was taking her final warrior's test.

Trying to survive a meeting with Ard the Awful.

Fallout from the Great Nuke forced Ard to take a detour from the human race.

The fun was canon.

He was naggy gonna find a way back.

Oh, my.

What'd happen to us, dear Therese, if anything happens to the tiara?

Red Cross, Red Cross, Red Cross.

Gone cold.

Real cold.

Times now for a new Tiara.

A leader to take us from the past into a new life.

It was my dream, make it yours.

Veena, my daughter.

You, the Tiara.

Thank you, Rhea.

I'm not the one.

You are now.

Listen.

In my shelt, a map.

Follow it.

Rhea, please.

I don't want to be Tiara.

Sister?

I serve the tiara.

What?

While the frowls were weepin', Corvus and me were scroungin'. Scan like some

tasty leftovers.

I went for the weps.

Corvus went for the eats.

He found more than he bargained for.

Amy.

Amy was an escape toy.

Frowles kept them as pets, called them toys.

To make Plastic sure they'd stay quiet, they cut off their tongues.

To keep them gentle, they cut off something else.

I, Lakella, second to Veena, Tiara of Frisco, give you safe shelter.

I, Freja, second to Morha, Tiara of Kanzos, accept your safe shelter.

Hot surprise, eh, Lakella?

Your sister being Tiara, not you.

We Kanzos figured you for it. Rea's choice, Tiara Morha.

You go with it? It's done.

You can always challenge, Lakella.

The party will be soon, Tiara Morha.

Lakella's pissed at her sister being Tiara.

Maybe something for us cancels in this.

Hot you made it, Tiara.

Naggy miss it, Veena.

Lots to talk about.

Today's for partying, not for talking. Plenty of time for both, Veena.

Once the world was green and living.

Then was the great nuke.

Death lived everywhere.

All were born sick and unclean. A living curse from the Americans and commies.

Then one day, a baby was born.

Clean and clear.

And the living curse was over.

The child grew strong and beautiful.

And she was called... Woman!

Woman taught her children to follow the tiara.

and obeyed the regs, and the earth lived again.

But some disobeyed the regs, and from them came the children of darkness and

disease.

Vena Frisco, solemn swear to enforce the regs, oversee the burthen, and

rule the comb till the president comes to lead us into new tomorrow.

Solemn swear.

The Frawls were having a hot time.

We were getting ready to give them a hot time of our own. Frawls, hot partying,

getting all loose and waggoed.

F'ing Frawls.

Nuke them all.

Necky, Gruss.

Nuking Frawls gets us nothing but nuked Frawls. But we burn their food shelves,

free the machos, Frawls will starve.

This kind of hide-and-seekin' makes me feel cold.

Well, you gotta get hot on new ways, Gruss.

We're going to be better than the Frauls.

We waited a long, cold time.

Now I said it right.

Nagy more machos.

Nagy more toys.

Nagy more cedars.

Nagy more cedars.

Just men.

Give me another one.

How do you figure it, Tiara?

Well, Veena ain't real.

She's weak, huh?

And her sister, Lakella, wants to be Tiara.

Yeah, a little push here, a little rumor there.

Soon they'll be fighting each other like blue gods in heat.

And I'll pick up the pieces.

The contams.

Rhea's last wish.

I got Negi choice.

Well, be careful, Veena.

Just because you're Tiara doesn't mean you can break the rags.

If Lakella finds you going there, she'll death challenge you for sure.

Don't worry, Linka. I'll be careful.

And I got you on my side.

Not much longer.

My season's here.

Your season?

Lagos, when?

Day next.

Being Tiara is easy next to Seedon.

Seedon's a cold act.

But it's got to be done.

Well, I'll be there for the birth in Lincoln.

So I'm swear.

Thanks, Veena.

And don't worry about being Tiara.

I know you're going to be number one.

Real hot.

Let's go.

This may be Wagos.

Great time to think of it.

Corvus knew just how to create confidence in his men.

He was a born leader.

Get out!

We expected the machos to greet us with open arms.

You were wrong.

I'm getting course.

Stealing from the Frals was hard work.

I needed something to cool me off.

I needed some more.

I'm Corvus.

I'm a free man.

You're machos. Slaves.

You like crap eats?

You like being beaten?

Treated like beasts?

We're offering freedom.

Making more beaties.

Making more macho pits. Freedom.

Scan it.

You hungry?

We got hot eats.

There's plenty more where that came from.

Rawls took his tongue, not his head.

Who's next?

everything was going hot plastic until come out of there

i

won't leave any man behind

it

was downhill from there

My break was over. Time to get back to work.

Balls were Nagy, Moose, and Waggo now.

They were cold pissed.

Going left, Ray. After the flugels, Tiara.

This attack's plastic for us.

When I call for a reunion with the Friscoes, they'll jump at it.

We'll get rid of Edith, put in Lakella, and I'll be riding high.

You get the men safe to camp.

I'm gonna leave those friscoes under the contents.

Let me go with.

Thank you, Gruss. This is my screw-up.

Another horse will make more dust.

Check.

I'll take your horse, too.

Stop it!

Gruss, if they nuke me, you're number one.

Never happened.

It's what I was saying, but not what I was feeling.

Oh, plastic.

Oh, what a day.

There's only one rider here.

That effing Plugot tricked me.

Plugot's got neggy smarts for tricking nobody, Veena.

Tell that to the Plugot, Lakella.

After you, Tiara.

It was not turning out to be one of Corvus's hotter days.

It scanned like the end for Corvus.

I would have been weeping and wailing for my friend and leader.

Except for one little thing.

From that moment on, I gained a new respect for the written word.

Now all Corvus had to do was get out of there.

Wherever there was.

Naginomi! Naginomi!

New book.

Fire.

You're called quiet.

Go back to the comb without me.

Where's the trough here, Tiara?

Just need some time alone, Lakella.

Be careful, Tiara.

I'll be.

Ho ho ho.

Mr. President.

Mr. President. President?

Where's the President?

Where's the President?

This is General Greer on board Looking Glass.

President? It now appears, sir, that the NORAD warning computers reporting a

massive Soviet first strike were in error.

And that negative Soviet or Warsaw Pact missiles were fired first.

Dr. Fitzswargo, is negative President here?

Just Corvus. However, in compliance with standing presidential orders... our

computers initiated a total retaliatory response.

All, I repeat, all land and sea-based ICBMs and all, repeat, all cruise

missiles have been launched.

At 0300 hours, warning satellites confirmed, repeat, confirmed a Soviet

counter-strike.

Mr. President, I know I can speak for all of us, but I say we didn't ask for

this war.

But God damn, Mr. President, we've won it. Caught the Ruskies with their pants

down.

Now it's up to you, sir, to lead us into a new tomorrow.

Goodbye and good luck, Mr. President.

Vena was following the late Tierra's last wish.

What she was going to discover inside that cave changed the way things were

supposed to go.

For the Frauls and us.

Okay.

Hot box, cold one.

Lels was desperate.

He'd gone to the very edge of the content searching for his missing toys.

They were safe with us, starting a new life.

Ricky! Stop!

Mickey!

A simple toy keeper.

Negi hurt, President.

Negi hurt, please.

Legend do anything, great and powerful President.

Anything, just don't hurt me. Please.

Oh, I believe. I believe the legend, great and powerful President.

I believe.

I scanned one day you'd come and lead us to new tomorrow.

And now you're here. Oh, I believe, President. I believe.

Les, oh great and powerful president. Les, the toy keeper.

Not anymore.

Nagging more toys, nagging more machos.

Nagging more toys?

Oh, that's a cold act for Les.

Very cold act.

What'll I do?

President gonna free all men from frogs.

If Les helps, the president will help Les.

But if Les hurts...

Love the house. Love the house. Oh, great and powerful president, let's know

all about the combs. So?

I scan Tiara Vena, the new Tiara Vena, worried about proving herself.

And Tiara of Kansas wanted to be Tiara Fresco. And Vena's hot friend, Linka,

been seeded. Seeded?

Seeded. And this, uh, Linka, hot tight with Vena?

Plastic hot, great one, from the time they were small.

Hmm.

President let Lels live.

For now.

But if Lels talks about scanning President... My mouth shot plastic,

died. Solemn swear. Solemn swear.

Check, check. I'll trot it out of here.

Hold!

Your cart.

President and Maggie need it.

Of course.

Sorry.

What are they doing?

Okay, move them out.

What's

keeping

her? Don't know.

Well, it better be damn hot making me wait like a macho.

Dina found what she went looking for.

She couldn't wait to scan Morha and Lakella her new plaything.

Except dear Lakella knew about it already.

Let's, we're the Merkins.

Not the Merkins, Morha.

I made them.

We're gonna use these...

Thunder rocks against the Plugats.

You broke the rigs. You'll bring the curse on us.

It's me you're fearing more, huh? Not the curse.

Tiara, a canso spheres make a woman.

Back at Camp Reagan, you were trying to turn the machos into men.

We had a long way to go.

I'm getting cold, worried, Russ.

Corvus should have been here by now.

I know.

And just what do we do with that arg thing?

It won't go away, and it smells cold.

What's it, Ralph?

I don't know.

It's Corvus!

Yeah!

It's Corvus!

Easy,

Gross. I brought your horse back. Make you believe what I'm saying.

It's Mero.

What's it all?

Hot whips from the Mercans.

We're going to learn how to use these American things.

Corvus, try this. It tastes called huagos and makes you feel hot blasted.

Great.

Well,

I want you men to knock out the Frisco seeding camp.

Seeders? That sounds wild to me. You said you're going to starve them. Now,

but scan this.

The Tierra's hottest friend, Link, is being seeded now.

If we can grab her, maybe we can trade her for a talk. Save men some hard

nuking. How do you scan that?

There was this half-frawl Lels, the Frisco's toy keeper.

He scanned me for president.

He was fearing I was gonna nuke him, so I hot-talkied.

Corvus is the president.

Wagos, huh?

Yeah, that's wagos.

Would Atira talk to you?

Maybe not with Corvus.

But she'd have to with the president.

not like toys!

Troke nuked himself with American whips. Scan it!

Troke did this!

Nagy spirits, nagy curse!

Just, Troke, screw up!

Corvus hired men!

Corvus is the president!

The president has given Gruss new powers!

New ways of scanning!

And plastic.

I'm the president!

while you're getting bigger.

After the birthing, we raise her.

I scanned that.

What eggy fear, Link?

We've picked a clean cedar for you.

It knows what to do and how to do it.

Check, check.

In the time of the Mercans and Commies, this place was called Paradise Oil and

Gas.

Where the frowls made little frowls. But if they had a boy, cold day.

They threw him away like last year's eats.

Just lie down and close your eyes.

It'll be all right, Linka.

You're not the first woman to get seated.

thank you

Woggle. Hot plastic.

Rocko Laker.

Laker!

Take off those prowl rags, Cedar. It's free now.

If you want it.

The president!

In a short time, we learned to use those Marican's things, and Amy got a bright

idea.

Bye now.

The spirit of the president speaks.

The president is here, now.

Hot scan, what I say.

Tiara Frisco, you'll meet the president alone.

At high sun, go to the edge of the contams.

There you'll find your friend, Linker, safe and unhurt.

But if you disobey...

And the president will cold nuke all combs, just like the Americans at

commies.

Tiara of Briscoe, time's now to change your world.

Or end it!

It's a trick.

It's a cold Plugot trick.

Since when Plugot's sharp enough for tricks like that, Morha?

When the president comes, she'll be like me, a Kansas.

Never Plugot.

Legends don't say what the president'll scan like.

If talking with this spirit gets Linka back, damn right I'll talk.

Rhea never would have. Rhea's cold, Lakella. I'm the tiara. Then act like a

tiara. Fight.

Nuke the Plugots.

Negi, I'm going to follow the president's command.

So, your tiara's going to talk to a Pugat spirit, huh?

Wouldn't be happening if you were the tiara.

But I'm not.

Could be.

A victory against the Pugats.

That would show your comb who the real leader is, huh?

And with me behind you, oh, you'd be more powerful than Raya ever was.

Just one thing you need, huh?

What's it?

Thunder rods.

Easy. I know just where to get them.

Oh.

You're sounding like a leader already.

Fraule coming.

Well?

Clean as a fraule.

I was hoping for more than that.

Veena, Tiara of Frisco.

Corvus, the president.

Where's Linka?

What Prezi says, Prezi does.

I was so worried you were cold.

Or worse.

Oh, Veena, I never figured scanning you again.

I'm okay, Tiara.

Nobody hurt me.

You go. Go on.

And keep Lakella out of trouble.

Frowl's free.

And me? I've got something special for Tierra's eyes only.

What's it?

Listen, nothing cold's gonna happen to you. You got the Prezzy's word on it.

Solemn swear?

Hmm.

Solemn swear.

Vena gone.

Morha and Lakella were cooking up trouble.

Something's cold here.

Tiara Vena said negi about attacking the Flukats. Check, check.

Where's Lakella going before battle?

Tiara's got to tell you two, Nagy, huh?

You're worried about fighting the Plugats. You stay here with the ground.

It's you and Lakella we're worried about, not the Plugats.

Save your heat.

The Plugats, huh?

Gotta tell the president.

I was getting cold.

Nagy, nagy.

Gotta tell the president.

Women of Kansas.

Women of Frisco.

Are you ready to finish off these macho steel and comb-burning plugots?

What are we going to do?

Okay,

hot crazy now what president once like

the world.

Prezi's got more to show Tiana.

Just one of the president's games.

I've never scanned anything like this before.

Prezi shelved only thing like this anywhere.

How come Prezi's scanning all this to me?

Fraule still fearing, Prezi? Stop calling me Fraule.

I'm woman.

Me?

Don't know.

Maybe spirit.

Maybe Pflugat.

Maggie Pflugat.

You.

Put it away.

If I wanted to pain you, I wouldn't have brought you here.

How come you did?

To talk.

About?

Man.

And woman.

Man? What's it, man?

She was gonna find out.

I'm a man.

Negi macho.

Negi toy.

Cedar. Man.

Feel.

Flesh like Venus.

Heartbeats like Venus.

Eyes, ears, just like Venus.

Corvus' ABC book didn't cover this sort of thing.

Two leaders had to, uh, feel their way along.

What's it, Ami?

Heaven! Well, damn!

Corvus talks, Riles attacks, and men get nuked again.

Where's Corvus?

He had his hands full with high-level negotiations.

They had reached a delicate stage.

You're not a fighter.

You better hide now.

Amy!

It'll be a cold surprise for the Frowns.

And they had a couple cold surprises for us.

No

by yourself, Prowl.

Frisco.

Time comes now for new tomorrow.

Niggie, sisters of Frisco.

Just a poor toy keeper.

Lels was still trying to get to the president. The man was motivated.

What's it, Lels? What's happened?

You're a wiener, talking with a great one.

The Kazan Morha attacked Pflugert.

Amy? Don't go cold, Amy.

While you were talking, the fellas were nuking.

Mina told me lies.

Goddamn lies.

Russ,

let's get the horses.

um

You want revenge, Corvus?

Take it.

I won't stop you.

Revenge? Not hot enough for you.

Talking new tomorrow and doing what fraud's always done, nuking and

painting. You were tricked, and so was I.

But it'll never happen again.

Solemn swear.

This is what you want?

More Nukin?

More Biden?

Your choice, Corbis.

What's it gonna be?

Your tomorrow starts with us.

No.

We didn't know what Fina and Corvus were doing.

The harder we scanned, the hotter it looked.

Maybe there was something men and women could do with each other's sides

fighting and nuking I Was gonna find out

I'm sorry.

today!
