All language subtitles for Buck Rogers in the 25th Century S02E06 - Mark of the Saurian

Delta Quadrant Defense
Station, Major Eliph.

This is Red Leader Alpha.

Sector sweep completed as ordered.

All Saurian fighter
ships have left Alliance

airspace as dictated
by terms of armistice.

Request permission to
enter restricted zone. Ready

for code transmit. Go
ahead. ETA one minute.

Entering code sequence now.

Code sequence accepted.
Reentry programmed for 54 seconds.

Every time we come
home, I get a cold shiver.

You know, one little
mistake from the guy in control

down there and it's goodbye for all of us.

I read you, Willie.

That is the most awesome
offensive and defensive

space complex in the history of man.

And without it, it might have been us
suing for peace, said to the Saurians.

Prepare for reentry.

Red Leader Alpha, you have
cleared perimeter defense.

Contact docking control on
assigned frequency. Understood.

Red Leader Alpha out.

Display code sequence, please.

Delta Quadrant Defense Station.
Major Eliph. This is Blue Leader Victor.

Request permission to
enter restricted zone.

Ready for code transmit. Go ahead.

In the year 1987, NASA launched the
last of America's deep space probes.

Aboard this compact starship, a lone
astronaut, Captain William Buck Rogers,

was to experience cosmic
forces beyond all comprehension.

In a freak mishap, his
life support systems were

frozen by temperatures beyond imagination.

Ranger 3 was blown out
of its planned trajectory

into an orbit 1,000 times more vast.

An orbit which was to return Buck
Rogers to Earth 500 years later.

Shuttlecraft 155, you're
locked into tractor beam.

Proceed with normal
docking sequence. Over.

Searcher, this is Shuttlecraft
155, proceeding with docking. Out.

Top of the morning, Wilma.
Top of the morning? Tweaky,

where on earth did you pick
up an expression like that?

In the language archives. Dr.

Goodfellow is programming Crichton
with early Anglo-Saxon dialects.

I asked if I could have one, so
he gave me top of the morning.

Do you like it? Oh, I think it's charming.

But the ambassador will be coming
aboard in the next few minutes.

Why aren't you in the
hangar deck with everybody else?

I was, but it got boring.
I decided to visit Buck.

Yeah, I was planning on seeing him
myself as soon as I can get away from here.

How is he? Malfunctioning.

Definitely malfunctioning.

You must not move.

I just thought I was
looking on you before I left.

Going out on patrol, huh?

I wish I were going
with you. I understand.

But what you need now is rest.

Rest, yeah.

Unfortunately, with a fever on a scale of
12.6, it takes all the fun out of resting.

Is the ambassador on board yet?

Their shuttle is approaching now.

That is one of the reasons
why I want to leave early.

If I delay, I will have to listen
to endless speeches of welcome.

You never could take pomp and
circumstance, could you, Hong?

I must go.

Get well, Buck. I'm trying.

Hey, keep them flying, huh?

Admiral.

Your Excellency, welcome aboard
the searcher. Thank you, Admiral.

May I present my chief advisor, Dr. Moray?

Doctor.

And these gentlemen are my aides.

Gentlemen.

Excellency, on behalf of the Directorate,

allow me to congratulate you
on the successful negotiations

of the Saurian unconditional
surrender. Thank you, Admiral.

I'm sure the Saurians will present no
further threat to intergalactic peace.

Good.

Before going to your quarters, perhaps
you would like a brief tour of the ship?

Gentlemen.

That's why I love the personal touch.

We're still not feeling too well, are we?

You look all right.

I can't say the same for myself, though.

At least your sense of humor is healthy.

Yeah, well, that's all it is.

Has Dr. Goodfellow made any progress in
coming up with something to kill this virus?

He's working on it.

In the meantime, you might just remember
that people who go traipsing around on

unexplored planets without wearing a
respirator are asking for an infection.

Oh, well, that's great advice,
Paulton. Thank you very much for caring.

I appreciate it. You've
got a great bedside manner.

Hey, Paulton.

What is it?

Would you do me a favor? Would you
fix this picture for me, please?

This picture's fine to me.

No, it isn't. There's a kind of green
fuzziness around some of the people.

Still looks all right to me.

And you can't see them? It's
like a ghost image or something.

Captain Rogers.

I think you'd better get some rest.

Captain Rogers, do you
need help? No, thanks.

No, I'll be all right.

This, gentlemen, is our
remote survey vehicle.

Excellency, if you would.

Buck, what in blazes are
you doing here? You're

supposed to be flat on your back. Hello.

You see something funny about
the ambassador and his party?

Something funny? What do you mean?

Well, they're surrounded
by a light, a green aura.

Buck, you're seeing things.

No, wait. There's
something wrong. Wait, Mama.

You sure you don't see anything?

You can tell me all about
it back in sickbay, come on.

You will also notice that it is possibly
the latest design in the entire universe.

The RSV is powered by a new proton
engine, which gives it a far greater range.

That's interesting.

Very interesting.

Forgive me, Your
Excellency. You must be exhausted.

Perhaps you would like to
see your quarters now and

complete touring the ship
after you've had a rest.

We would like that very much.

Some rest would do us good. That way.

I don't worry, Fulton.

I don't get it, Wilma.

First on the video screen,

and then the same thing again when I
watched him from the observation deck.

Well, you're burning up. It's
no wonder you're seeing things.

You've got Lieutenant Paulton
very upset with you. Captain Rogers,

I will not be responsible if
your condition gets worse.

If I die, I promise you, my last words
will be, it was not Paulton's fault.

Oh, very funny.

I just don't understand
it. I don't understand it.

I've been sick before.

I never hallucinated.

You've never had
sickness fever before either.

You're weak and you're disoriented.

You've just got to get some rest if
you're going to shake this thing.

I just can't explain what I saw.

Try not to worry about it, OK?

Just concentrate on getting well.

I'm concerned, very concerned.
About the one on the balcony?

He looked at us very
strangely. It has me worried.

Do you suppose... Doctor,
we cannot afford to suppose.

Our infiltration of the
Delta defense station will

succeed only if our
impersonation is perfect.

Find out about that human.

This is the terminal of our navigation
computer. The computer itself is on D-deck.

Our course is maintained
automatically. Impressive. Most

impressive. This way, gentlemen.

The green dot signifies our present
position. The yellow line is our course.

What does the red light
indicate? Well, that's Delta Quadrant,

the most heavily armed defense
station in this part of the galaxy.

There's no problem as long as we avoid it.

Ah, yes, the Saurians feared it greatly.

It was a major factor in their defeat.

Indeed.

Any ship venturing
within 2,000 grids without

the proper code is
destroyed automatically.

Well, General, what else can I show you?

Space medicine's always fascinated
me. You're a sick babe, perhaps?

Of course.

I'm sure Dr. Goodfellow would be
delighted to show you our facilities.

Lieutenant Devlin, would you
kindly show the doctor below?

I believe you'll find
Goodfellow in his laboratory.

This way, doctor.

One wonders at the marvels
yet to be created by man?

By man?

Why created only by man, Edward?

I beg your pardon?

My point is that the universe is
populated by large numbers of non-humans.

A great many of these
non-men, shall we say,

are undoubtedly of
superior intelligence, creative,

more inventive by far than anything
that you or I could possibly imagine.

Of course, I only use the
term man in an abstract sense.

Well, Admiral, it's been most interesting.

Thank you, Excellency.

Gentlemen.

Now, doctor, follow me.

He may be asleep. He may be asleep.

I told you about. Yes, but Cygnus fever.

I thought that virus no
longer affected humans. Yes,

but in Captain Rogers' century, you know,
humans' physiology was slightly different.

Oh, my dear Lord.

I hear you've been...

Misbehaving again, walking
around instead of staying in bed.

I'd like you to meet a
distinguished guest of ours, Dr. Murray.

Captain. Something wrong?

Dr. Goodfellow, don't you see it? See
what, Buck? What are you talking about?

What do you mean?

The light. The green light.
It's like a double image.

You don't see it, do you?

I don't understand,
Buck. I don't understand.

I don't get it, Doc.

You look okay.

Only happens when I look at him.

What's wrong with me,
Doc? Am I losing my vision?

Oh, easy.

Take it easy, Mark.

Take it easy. You have a very high fever.

And things are apt to appear
distorted under such circumstances.

But you don't look distorted.

Only him. Perhaps I should visit some
other time. Yes, just a moment, Doctor.

I'll go with you.

Now, Buck, I'm going to order
a sedative for you. Right now,

I want you to lie back and rest. All
right, Doc, whatever you say. Thank you, yes.

I'll be back later to check on you.

Ah, good enough, good. That's
right. Now, I want, if you please,

you to administer just
one cc of clausine and try

and get him to take as
much of that as possible.

Yes, doctor.

Thank you, thank you very much.

Doctor, I thought you
might find this interesting.

Ah, an optical Ingram imager. Impressive.

Captain Rogers, I am so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Captain Rogers!

Captain Rogers!

Captain Rogers!

Captain Rogers!

You! Oh, Matt, what's the matter?

I thought I saw him. Now I know I saw him.

Buck, what's wrong? What happened?

What in blazes is going on
here? Yes, come here, Admiral.

Captain Rogers is extremely ill.
Yes, we all know he's ill, Doctor,

but what in the name of
Theseus is he doing out of bed?

He seems to have had some sort of
hallucination, seen some sort of strange image.

I don't know. Would
somebody turn off that alarm?

Well?

What is it, Locke?

Admiral, I wasn't hallucinating.

I saw it.

It wasn't human.

Even now, you know, there's a green
light, like a... like a ghost image.

Can any of you see it?

Buck, you're overwrought.

You should be in bed.

I'm sorry.

I didn't see anything.

Buck, I want you back in sickbay at once.

Now that, my friend, is an order.

Wait.

Wait a minute.

I mean, they've got it too.

Green light. It's like an aura.

Can't any of you see
it? Lieutenant Devlin.

Lieutenant Paulton.

Get Captain Rogers back to sickbay.

Come on, Captain Rogers. Can't you see it?

Can't anybody see it?

All right, everyone, back to your
stations. Back to your stations.

Ambassador, I regret all of this
very much. That's quite all right.

The man is obviously not responsible
for his behavior. No apologies necessary.

However, you have not
introduced me to this lovely

lady, and for that, I cannot forgive you.

Ambassador Cabot, Colonel
Dearing, one of my executive officers.

How do you do?

Admiral, I'm quite certain
you have matters to attend to.

As for us, we really should
discuss our report to the

Directorate concerning
the treaty negotiations.

Gentlemen.

On top of everything, did you
have to offend the ambassador?

Something's gone
wrong. I don't understand.

We need to know how Rogers is
penetrating our image screen.

Why not let me kill him now?

And ruin everything we've
worked for by acting too soon?

We will kill no one until the ship
gets into Delta Quadrant headquarters,

and we replace the five
senior officers who control

the entire Alliance defensive system,

at which time the galaxy will be ours.

For now, we need to know
precisely what he sees and why.

We'll need a blood sample.

I can't get near him. He's too
suspicious. Find a way, doctor.

Find a way.

Hello, Dr. Goodfellow. Hello.

Any change in Captain Rogers'
condition? Oh, no, not yet, confounded.

I've been spending a
great deal of time trying

to find some means of
controlling the virus.

A stubborn case, I must say.

Doctor, that's why I'm here.

I think I might be of some help to you.

You do?

Indeed.

When I saw Captain Rogers,

I recalled a somewhat similar case
I encountered on the planet Librax.

If I had a sample of blood to work with,

I think perhaps I might come up with
something you could use. Good heavens,

that's good news. That's splendid, Doctor.

You administered the sedatives. Yes,
30 minutes, less than 30 minutes ago.

Do you think these will be
adequate for you? Oh, quite.

I doubt I'll need to
draw that much. I see.

A haemofractionizer.

I completely forgot. What did you forget?

Haemofractionizer.

Oh, yes, I think I know what you mean.

You do have one.

Do you want one?

If you would be so kind. I'll see if
they've got one in medical supplies.

You go and stay here. Stay here.

Yes, thank you. Right, I'll go.

First, my dear Captain Rogers, we
temporarily counteract the sedative.

We want to be sure.

Blood supply is pure. In a few seconds,

that counteracting agent is going to
cause you brief but considerable pain.

But that can't be helped.

Help! Help! Help! Help!

Help!

Stop it. Let him go back.
Stop it. Stop it at once.

You'll kill him.

What's going on? Help us
get him back in the bed.

Thank goodness you came. Can't
manage. Can't get him back in the bed.

Dr. Goodfellow.

But then... you too miss everybody.

Red Boy One, Red Boy
One, do you read me, over?

This is Red Boy One.

What is it, Wilma?

Buck is worse than
I... I'm really worried.

He's asking for you,
Hawk. Can you come back?

I will return at once.

Red Boy One, out.

Admiral, we seem to be
deviating from our course.

Impossible. We're
programmed through to Stargate.

Yes, sir, but our instruments
are all registering deviation.

Crichton, check the navigation
terminal. See if you can figure this out.

The computer indicates we
are still on course, Admiral.

I advise you to take a reading
of our position by astral scan.

We have deviated from programmed
course three degrees to starboard.

Display new heading.

Sir, we're headed for Delta Quadrant.

ETA restricted zone is
19 minutes, 4 seconds.

Go to manual.

Steer 3 degrees port.

She's not responding, sir.

Computer, return to programmed course.

The computer informs me that the
plasma gyros will not respond.

Get the technicians up here.

Computer technicians to the bridge.

Well, you're certainly
looking better, Captain Rogers.

Well, I'm certainly feeling better.

Sort of.

I guess I made quite a fool of myself.

Oh, I wouldn't say that. Let's just say
your imagination got the better of you.

I tell you, it all seems so real.

I would have sworn that...

Never mind, never mind.

Well, I would have sworn
that I saw green lizards.

Green lizards?

Yeah, not only once, but
twice, twice. I thought I saw Dr.

Moray turn into some
kind of giant green lizard.

The scales, flicking tongues, the works.

Unbelievable.

Morning, Colonel Deering.

Captain Rogers.

I must say, you're
looking much better, Captain.

I hope you can say the same for me.

I must have been delirious. I
guess I owe you an apology.

Not at all.

You could hardly help yourself.

But tell me, Captain, what did you see
when... well, when you became so... excited?

Sir, there's nothing wrong with either
the controls or the terminal. Then why,

by the hammers of Thor, are we off course?

I don't know.

I'd have to check your main
computer banks. Then check them.

We're less than 4,000 grids away
from the Delta Quadrant defense zone.

Sir, put it back on.

Giant green lizard, indeed.

That is strange, isn't it?

I hope there are no hard
feelings. Of course not, Captain.

My only hope is that the treatment Dr.

Goodfellow and I are working on will get
you over this virus as soon as possible.

And speaking of work, I
really should get back to the lab.

If you'll excuse me.

Of course, Doctor.

Buck, you've never seen a
sorrowing before, have you?

No, why?

And you didn't see any part of the peace
negotiations when they were broadcast?

I was on Cygnus.

That's where I got this fever, remember?

Let's try something. Click
on the vid screen, will you?

I'm going to punch into the archives,

and we'll take a look at the
halskran made during the negotiations.

It works.

He didn't see anything unusual.
You're quite certain? I assure you.

I appeared completely normal to him.

You may all set your projectors to the
frequency indicated by the blood sample.

We are now 3,000 grids
from the zone of destruction.

It will not be long, gentlemen.

You really should return to Dr.
Goodfellow in the lab. After all,

you promised to help him find a cure for
our friend Captain Rogers. By all means.

By all means.

What you're going to see is last
week's telecast of the unconditional

surrender of the Saurian
Empire to Alliance forces.

Now, there on the right are
Ambassador Cabot and his aides,

who came aboard the
searcher this morning, including

Dr. Murray, who just left this room.

And on the other side are the
Saurian delegates to the conference.

That's what I saw.

Green lizard people,
exactly the way they looked.

You can't hallucinate
something you've never seen.

Well, would you trust me?

I know something is going
on that we don't understand.

What can we do about it? I hate
to see you in such pain, Buck.

Pain?

That's it.

What on earth are you talking about?

Position and time to intersect.

2,200 grids from present restricted
zone at present course and speed.

We will enter the automated
defense quadrant in 14 minutes.

Blast it.

Any word from the
computer room? Negative, sir.

There's... Delta
Quadrant calling searcher.

Delta Quadrant calling searcher.
Delta Quadrant calling searcher.

Put him on.

This is Delta Quadrant
Defense Headquarters.

You are approaching the restricted zone.

Please make
appropriate course adjustments.

Well, Doctor, what do you
think? What do I think now?

Well, it's a novel theory,
Buck. Very novel theory, indeed.

Essentially, you're suggesting that in
moments of sharp pain, you saw the, um...

The Saurians.

The Saurians, yes, indeed. The Saurians.

It's the only theory that makes any sense.

The first time it happened was when
Paulton spilled the hot soup on me.

The next time was when
Maury stuck me in the

arm with that needle
to take a blood sample.

Yes. Yes, yes, I suppose a sudden
increase of adrenaline that accompanies

pain could somehow account
for the abrupt hallucination.

Hallucination?

Roger, how can you say that?

I told you, I hadn't even seen
one until a few minutes ago.

You told me when you
agreed to listen to me

that you'd keep an
open mind about all this.

You had an open mind about all this.

Well, I have. I mean,
the point of opening one's

mind is to shut it again
when something's on it.

The mere fact that pain may have
triggered what you saw in no way proves

that what you saw had any
physical reality outside your brain.

You see that, don't you? Moreover,

how does one account for the fact that you

eventually cease to see the peculiar aura,

or whatever it was, around Dr. Moray?

I don't know, Doctor.

I don't know.

But I am convinced that
there was something very strange

about the ambassador,
Dr. Moray and his aides.

I hope I'm not intruding.

Certainly not, Doctor.

Captain Rogers just... We
were just theorizing about

those strange hallucinations I was having.

Indeed.

I thought we established that you
hallucinated because of your fever.

Exactly, yes.

I'd like to perform an experiment to...

Confirm that theory.

Experiment?

What sort of experiment?

A little something I
cooked up. As a matter of fact,

your participation would be very helpful.

Well, uh... Of course.

Delighted.

Anything to advance medical
knowledge, you know. Oh, great, doctor, great.

I admire your scientific spirit.

Would you just step this way, please?

Velocity and course.

Fourteen grids per second.

Course constant, sir.

Put the video comm on
transmit. I want him to see us.

Aye, sir.

Delta Quadrant, I repeat.

Our navigation computer has locked us in
to intersect with your restricted zone.

If you don't abort
your automatic defenses,

this ship will be blown into
subatomic particles in 11 minutes.

Cancelation of the
automatic defenses is impossible

without the proper code sequence.

And I tell you, we
haven't got the code sequence!

Sit down, doctor.

Really, Captain Rogers. Sit down.

Really, Buck, I don't think
there's any call for rudeness.

Do you think I'm hallucinating, Doctor?

I think I'm seeing something real.

Well, now's the time to settle
that question once and for all.

Except for some understandable
nervousness, the good doctor looks perfectly normal.

I'm gonna put my arm in that
spark, and when I do, it's gonna hurt.

I would lay you 50 to 1 odds.

I will see what I saw before.

A green lizard.

Buck, you're gonna burn your
arm. Just do it. Don't, Buck.

You don't know what you're doing.

Buck, you're gonna burn your arm.

Buck, this is crazy. Buck!

I don't understand.

I should have seen it.

Captain Rogers is obviously deranged.
How much more evidence do you need?

Colonel Dearing, I demand that
you have this psychopath locked up.

Captain Rogers does not belong in
the sickbay. He belongs in the brig.

And I assure you this matter
will be reported to the ambassador.

This violation of diplomatic protocol
will be reported to the highest levels.

Time to intersect.

Seven minutes, 13 seconds, Admiral.
Admiral, computer room on the horn.

All right. Well, what have you found?

Sir, there's a force
field around the plasma

gyros, and, sir, it looks like sabotage.

All right.

Just do what you can.

Yes, sir.

Right.

What do you know about force fields?

Everything, Admiral. Good. Then get
down to the computer room. They need you.

I hear. I obey.

Starship Searcher, this
is Defense Quadrant Delta.

You are entering the outer
perimeter automated defense zone.

Precisely six minutes to
auto-destruct sequence.

Sound General Quarters.

Yes, sir.

General Quarters, General Quarters,
all personnel report to duty stations.

Going to make one last try to reason
with them. Admiral, perhaps I can help.

My face is known to all members of the
Alliance government, including the military.

Delta Defense might listen to me.

Very well, Ambassador.
We'll put you on their screen.

Video comm transmit on.

Aye, sir.

Delta Defense Quadrant,
this is Ambassador Cavett.

Surely you recognize me.

You must cancel the automatic
defense shields and let us through.

I'm sorry, Ambassador. I
must have the proper code.

Well, you fool, do you
realize what you're doing?

You are about to destroy the most
valuable research vessel in the Alliance,

and with it take my life
and the lives of my aides.

Look at me!

How much more proof do you need
that we are what we say we are?

Ambassador, I'll have to
confer with higher authority.

Stand by, please.

Let's just hope that higher
authority will listen to reason.

General Kenton, sir.

The vessel on the screen is
reporting itself as Earthship Searcher.

It does not have entry codes,

and it claims computer
malfunction has locked

it on a destruction
course with our defenses.

The man in the foreground
with the Admiral claims to

be Ambassador Cabot of our
treaty negotiating team.

It is Cabot. I'll handle it.

Ambassador, I'm General Kenton,
Vice Commander of Delta Quadrant.

Permission is granted
to enter the quadrant,

but you will disengage your plasma
drive and proceed at half speed.

Any sudden maneuvers and your
ship will be immediately destroyed.

Agreed, General.

Without your intervention,
Ambassador, the search would be finished.

Oh, you have my deepest gratitude.

Check our position for boarding sequence.

Don't anybody move.

Buck, what do you think you're
doing? Admiral, stay right where you are.

I mean it. Now get back there. Get back!

Move!

You, cross the room
where I can see you. Devlin,

you move out of that
chair, you're a dead man.

I will atomize anyone who moves.

Anyone.

Mark, you're insane.

It does seem to be the
consensus, doesn't it?

Starship searcher, this is Delta
Quadrant. Two minutes to docking.

Prepare for boarding by security forces.

I repeat, two minutes to docking.

He is one of them. So
you think I'm crazy, huh?

Well, I've got a flash for you.

I'm just crazy enough to know the
difference between my enemies and my friends.

And the Sawyans are my enemies,

even if they have managed
somehow To appear as human beings.

Admiral, this man is clearly insane.

I'm insane.

So insane, it took me until five
minutes ago to figure out that you and your

friends here have some kind of
device that makes you appear as humans.

But they forgot one small thing, Admiral.

I forgot they had to fool
someone from the 20th century,

someone with a slightly
different body chemistry,

someone they hadn't calibrated
their devices for. Thank you, Hawk.

Are you with me, woman?

You bet.

Don't be afraid to use it.

Starship searcher. One
minute until docking sequence.

Buck, that's the thermostat.

You're absolutely right, Admiral.

In a few seconds, we'll begin
to notice a very pleasant...

Climatic change.

Buck, it's freezing in here.

Why, but it soon will be.

This is absurd.

The man is trying to freeze us to death.

You a little chilly, Doctor? Draw,
we're only level two and dropping.

Starship searcher, this is Delta
Quadrant. 30 seconds to docking sequence.

Who's next?

You, Maury?

Good Lord, what's happening?

All right, Devlin, switch
the video comm to transmit.

Here's how they did it.

As you can see for yourself,
these people are all Saurians.

Just like the major of that console.

If you check his wrist,
you'll find a similar device.

My, my, this is an experience I won't
get over for a time, I can tell you.

Put him in the brig under double
guard till after we've docked.

Admiral, the temperature is
slowly returning to normal, sir.

Good.

I've never seen anything
like it. They just collapsed.

How did you know?

It's simple.

They're reptiles,
therefore they're cold-blooded.

They go into hibernation once the
temperature gets below scale three.

But you weren't able to see them
anymore. I thought you'd given up.

I had.

Obviously, they'd
recalibrated their devices.

I was convinced I'd been
hallucinating all along.

But they made one small mistake.

Their inside man at Delta Quadrant
didn't get the word to recalibrate,

and you saw him on the monitor.

Yes, you may go to the
head of the class, woman.

Buck, if the Saurians had
succeeded in taking over the searcher

and infiltrating the Delta
Quadrant defense station,

why, they could have
blackmailed the entire galaxy.

I guess I don't need to tell
you what an idiot I feel like.

That's all right,
Admiral. You can tell me.

I must agree, Buck. You were
splendid, simply splendid.

Oh, I thought I was going to sneeze.

Yes, we might call your behaviour
an inspirational act of forbearance

and courage in the face
of insurmountable odds,

but I was wondering just one thing.

Yeah, what's that? Do
you think we might have

the heat turned up just a trifle faster?

Achoo! Oh, say God bless you, Doctor.

God bless you, Doctor.

Ridiculous. Perfectly ridiculous custom.

I didn't ask your opinion.

That was your second mistake.

Your first mistake was thinking
that a handful of decaying vegetable

matter would make a suitable
gift for a malfunctioning human.

Oh, you just don't understand at
all. It's an old Earth tradition.

Humans always give flowers to
someone who is sick. Buck will love them.

Preposterous.

What are they good for?
They simply wither and die.

If you just shut up for a
minute, you might learn something.

Now, if you were sick... Me, sick?

Impossible.

I am a superior being.

Good day.

Superior being?

The only thing superior
about him is his mouth.

Can you get the ball game on that thing?

It's almost normal.

Thank God you'll soon be
out of my hair, Captain.

She loves me.

So we see.

Surprise! Surprise, Buck. Aren't they
pretty? Oh, Twinkie, they're beautiful.

Oh, that's very thoughtful of you,
partner. Starting to feel better already.

I knew it.

Crichton thought he was so smart.

He said they wouldn't do
anything to make him well.

He said they would just
wither and die. But look,

they're making him feel better already.
