Lexx 3.04 BOOMTOWN

Weapons!

Remember to stay up high

No arrows can reach this high

I don't care about arrows,

it's the dead guy's brace you gotta worry about

They're still too hig

We're up too high, is that what you're saying Brock?

Yeah, well I got news for you buddy.

We've got more moths than you've ever seen in your life,

and we're gonna hit you with more heat than you've ever felt before, pal!

Watch the birdy!

Burn, Gametown, burn!

Mr Kai, can't we hit them with your brace weapon?

No. They are staying well up and out of range

Fifi.Yeah?You are a small minded,self-centred, vindictive perfectly evil human being

Wow. That's harsh

But also true

which is why I like you

Bunny, we need more water

There are too many fires Brock, burning out of control

Eat this, Brock!

Mr Kai - promise you'll look after her

Who?

Bunny. She's in love with you

I will try

Thanks. You're a swell guy

We're gonna have to swim for it

I cannot swim. You can't?

No. I do not float

Everybody follow me, we're going back to Fire

Fire? What for?

We've got work left to do, we got cities to burn!

I like you, Fifi - but I'm in charge,

and we will do what I say.

We'll come back here, later, but first we have some business on Fire

Yeah. Sure boss, whatever you say

Hey, Kai. Glad you're finally back

Xev and I were starting to get really really hungry

Hi, I'm Bunny! - Slut!

I will start the remaining moth breeders building new moths,

and then, we should all go down to Water,

so you can eat

It's OK, OK

Bitch slap her, Xev!

No, no, ....

Build more moths, now

So, those floating cities down on your planet what are they like,

ou know, in a way that might be of interest to me?

Well, all the cities are different from each other.

What are your interests?

Well ...

being a healthy,

actually living

specimen

of the human male species

I have

very

powerful - interests

What type of very powerful interests?

He wants to get girls into bed.

And since most girls, even those with highly accelerated libidos,

do not want him in bed.

Stanley Tweedle is constantly looking for planets where the girls don't care who he is

Xev - Xev, you don't have to put it that way.

What I'm really looking for is,

you know, like a happy people party place.

You know, a place where people have fun all the time - different kinds of fun,

I mean, open-minded fun, and err, get cosy at night, and you know,

cuddle and mmmm.

- You know? - No

All he wants is sex. With anyone, anywhere, anytime.

He's desperate.

And I need to eat, soon

I think

you want to go to

Boomtown

Does it have food?

Lots

Girls?

Plenty

Nice girls?

Nice girls

and, nice boys

Oh. And are they open-minded?

sexually speaking?

On Boomtown everybody has sex,

all the time

All the time?

Mm hmm. Night and day.

It's a non-stop sex city.

That's what they do there

Are you OK Stanley?

Oh yeah. Yeah yeah yeah. I'm just a little, little hungry

Me too.

Very hungry

It's OK - they're from the big bug in the sky. We won't hurt you

I really like the

the fruit, here

You seem hungry

I am very hungry

Very hungry.

but I like to enjoy the flavour

For me, it's far more satisfying to take my time.

Pick out something desirable

Bring it up to your mouth, smell it's delicious, fresh, heavenly, ripeness

And then you take that first little bite -

Savour it.

Taste it.

Roll it around your mouth

And then?

The experience grows from there.

It gets

Deeper

The sensation seems to spread throughout your whole body

Building

Until eventually you get this delicious feeling coming in like waves,

crashing upon the shore

Waves crashing on the shore

Then there's the question Quantity or quality.

I prefer a taste

of something wonderful

over a whole feast of something that's just ordinary

I prefer a whole feast of something really wonderful

Do you have an empty stomach too?

I do not have a stomach at all

Look, I'll be right back, OK?

Don't think so

No, No, she just wants me for, you know, something

So, miss - ?

Quantity or quality?

Oh, that could be um, a hard decision

hard

Um - ?

Root

Root,

very - hard

How hard?

It could take a long time to decide

How long?

Very, very long

Well, it's hard for me too

but it's important to come

to a satisfying -

Decision. Yes

Remember me?

I'm Peach?

Remember me? I'm Stanley H Tweedle

Do you like peaches?

Only when my lips are wrapped around them

Come here, Stanley H Tweedle

I can go all night long too

Go where?

Go to the place that makes a man happy

Where is that?

The place I want to bring you

- Are you trying to seduce me? - Yes

The dead cannot be seduced

I don't understand

Bunny - I am dead

No you're not

Yes I am

That's a neat trick.

Do other parts of you perform that well?

No. Other parts do not perform at all.

You'll have to get your satisfaction elsewhere

Likewise, Xev

Once we have defeated Water, there must be only one ruler.

And that ruler

must be me

What, you mean there's somebody else we need to take care of?

Yes. There's someone else I'm going to

... replace.

Oh. You see, I thought your city looked the biggest to me

so, you know, I just figured you were the head guy, he man in charge

Not yet, but soon, very soon

Bunny said that on Boomtown you were

very warm, very friendly

Well, we are

Yeah.

And you're very open minded,

when it comes to, umm -

When it comes to

what?

You know

What?

Umm, se - love. Love

But we are, when it comes to - sex

That's pretty much all we do here, Mister Stanley H Tweedle

Is that OK with you?

Oh, it's much more than OK

I'm home

Come on a journey with me Xev

Yes. Where?

A long journey ...

... To a special place within ourselves.

I was programmed to be a ...

... Love slave..

So let's go there, now

Ooo. The arrival

Will be sublime.

So, Bunny, since there is so much sex occurring in this city,

here should be a lot of children

What are children?

Children result from sex

Fun results from sex!

Sex is considered to be fun,

but it is also known to have other complications,

one of which is children

Not here on Boomtown.

It's just fun, and that's all

I bet I could make you

What?

Aroused

I have not been aroused for 6000 years

Boy, you must be really frustrated

No. I am not frustrated

You want me, don't you?

The dead do not get frustrated.

The dead do not have wants. The dead are simply dead

You're so weird

How did you all get here anyway?

We came here on our ship - the Lexx

The mighty will soon fall.

Oh joy

They are able to fly inside the thorns,

and since they are underneath the deck we cannot reach them with our missiles

Cut through it

The deck supports the entire city, and is very thick.

It will take time

Then waste no more of it talking to me

Will we attack them with the one moth we do have? - No

We, will not.

I will

Are we going to run?

To where?

To safety

Do you not believe that I will defeat him?

He is a flea,

a pretender,

a nothing

I rule this planet.

I always have and I always will.

I will destroy Duke,

and then, I will destroy Water

Forever and forever he has ground me beneath his heel.

Finally I have a chance to grind him back.

I like you

Yeah. I like you too Duke.

So er, where are we going now?

Duketown,

where I am Duke, and where I will soon be king

Oh. What are we gonna do there?

We will wait for Prince to attack us

Attack us, why?

Many times I have nearly defeated him,

but now I have these moths.

I will win.

Prince knows that, so he will come after us,so that I will kill him

Wait a minute, why would he want you to kill him?

You have much to learn, my friend

much to learn

And how was that, Mister Stanley H Tweedle?

That - that was perfection

that was the definition of perfection

That, that was the definition

of totally, completely,

a hundred million times beyond perfection. Good.

Good? Good

Don't I get to cuddle?

Oh, you do - but not with me

Hi. I'm Pear

Pear

Hi. I'm Plum

Plum?

Plum Pear and a little Peach

I'm in an orchard

So what is a love slave?

A love slave is someone

who can't hold out much longer

But what does a love slave do?

A love slave does everything

Everything?

Everything a man could ever want, or need

I can't hold out much longer

Oh yes you can.

The wait is your journey.

The arrival, your joy

Enough

Now, is the fun part

Duke. I - I was just about to burn him

Good - What'd he do?

Nothing

I don't get it. So why are you burning him?

So we can enjoy his suffering

Ah. That I get

Hold him

Fifi - I've decided to make you my new chief

Excellent!

What do I have to do?

Whatever I say - Ok

First problem, is to get rid of the old chief

Piece of cake

Did you enjoy that? Yes I did

This is my kind of place

And you are my kind of chief, Fifi

Sounds like we have visitors

Clear it up

We have a common enemy.

We should be fighting together against Water

not with each other

Yes. All Fire must fight together,

united under a single ruler against a common enemy

But that is already so.

Fire is my planet.

I am its Prince

Look

a tree doth fall

A king without a crown

a prince without a town

Are you betraying me, May?

Yes - I expected no less

I have defeated you

Perhaps

Your city is gone. You have no power

So

you have won.

I'm ready to die

I'll do it

No. You won't

But you will suffer

Good shot.

Thank you May

No! Bad shot! Very

bad shot.

Wow. Why'd you wanna keep him here?

This way he can't go anywhere

Alive he is no threat, but dead he will come back - to haunt us

Haunt us?

How?

That, we have yet to discover

And as we get closer

and closer

to shore

our vessels

touch

I want it, now!

We'll get there, soon

Prince will look after me

You really believe that?

Why should he?

I helped him

Prince doesn't work like that.

You only killed him to save yourself

You know that as well as I do.

And if you think Prince returns favours,

then you have him confused with something good.

you're a fool, May

He will destroy you

Good luck on the other side

Whoa. Hey, er, Duke - you wanna help me out here?

What am I missing?

Do you believe in life after death?

Then what happens when you die?

You die, that's it. Game over

After that?

After that?

Nothing, what are you talking about?

Where did you come from? How did your life begin?

Just like everybody else's.

One day I woke up - there I was

Before that?

Before that? But before that, I guess I just wasn't

Wrong!

Before that, you were

I was?

You just don't remember

Anyway boss, when will we get back to Water?

Now.

Yeah? You mean, we get to destroy everything now and take over,

right?

Now we will destroy every city on Water

And you'll rule both planets, right?

And I'll be your number one guy, huh?

For now

So why does your ship have to eat?

Because it is a large insect.

It is alive, and all living things must eat

You can see it as it passes between the two planets

Where? - There

Can you hear the waves, Xev?

I've been hearing the waves long enough,

let's get on with it! Please

But the journey

I'm programmed to love,

and you're going to download my programme, right?

Just don't

download

too soon

It's a big programme, Xev.

It takes time to download

How long?

Oh, as long as you can take it

Oh, oh that's good

Am, mnya, mnya, mnya ..

What does the H in Stanley H Tweedle stand for?

Handsome? No

Hunky? - No

Hung? No

How about er, how about human?

No, no. Don't stop now Stanley We're just getting started

Not to worry, not to worry,

just give me a minute.

Manly Stanley is just taking a little time-out

Time-out's up - Oh boy

So, now where to, boss?

Boomtown

Boomtown?

I thought you might wanna save that one

Why?

Well, I don't know. I mean, out of all these floating cities

on this stupid planet, that's really the only one that ever did anything for me

Really?

Yeah, I dunno, I mean, the people there are fun.

It's not exactly my type of fun, but they know

how to get down and dirty,

you know what I mean?

They are the enemy, and we will destroy them

All right then

Are you OK?

I'm way beyond OK

We need more - lots more.

Listen, girls,

speaking honestly, I can say that,

of all the planets I have ever been to,

this one is the best by far

I mean that, I mean it, I do, honestly I do.

There is nothing going on here,.

especially like right now,

that I consider anything but totally excellent.

But listen, can I ask you a question?

Does the concept of too much of a good thing mean anything to you?

There's a limit, and I passed my limit some time ago.

That means,

-I think, that we gotta stop for a while -Stop?

I don't understand

Hi, I'm Cherry.

Hi, I'm Olive.

It's our turn to play

Oh. I think I'm getting a headache

What's a headache? Oh

Are they coming this way?

Yes

Does that mean I might die?

Yes

Are you afraid?

I am.

Are you afraid?

No

You belong here with me Xev

But how can you be

I mean

I mean, are you -?

Alive?

Yes

I'm here for you

Your skin

it's warm

Of course!

But how?

Where did you come from?

I only know that

I am here,

and I had to come to you

Perhaps I should, uh, leave you two alone

Sorry Root,

but this is Kai

You don't have to explain anything.

Everything's OK

We're on Boomtown

What's that sound?

We're being attacked

Saved by the bell

What's that?

We're under attack

I want to go with you

Kai? I thought that you had somehow come to life,

but you are still dead, aren't you?

So how can there be two of you?

One is dead

the other is alive

This is such an easy target!

Will somebody please tell me what all this commotion is about?

We are being attacked by forces from the planet Fire

They are using the moths stolen from us

Kai? Kai? Am I dreaming this, or is this for real?

It's real Stan

Well, can you please explain it to me?

No I can't,

because I don't understand it either

Can we go now?

I think - that would be sensible

It's bunhead in black!

Good

Good? How can that possibly be good?

Oh no, he's seen us!

What are we going to do?

That one contains Fifi.

He stole our moths

Then get him

bring him down

They are out of my current range

Then quick, let's go after him

Or we could just return to the Lexx

We have to go after him

he is the enemy

Clearly

I agree

Abandon the attack.

Destroy the moth that's following me.

Everybody abandon the attack

Did you hear that? They're coming after us

What are we gonna do now?

We fight

Oh, that's easy for you to say.

What if I don't exactly share your desire?

What if I do?

We have little choice, Stanley.

I suspect they will come after us

whatever course we take
