BY LATE IN THE 21st CENTURY,
THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH WERE FINALLY AT PEACE,
WORKING TOGETHER TO EXPLORE AND COLONIZE...
THE DISTANT REACHES OF SPACE.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE WEREN'T ALONE OUT THERE.
A RACE OF NONHUMAN ALIENS CALLED THE DRACS...
WERE CLAIMING SQUATTERS' RIGHTS...
TO SOME OF THE RICHEST STAR SYSTEMS IN THE GALAXY.
WELL, THEY WEREN'T GOING TO GET IT WITHOUT A FIGHT.
SPACE WAS THE NEW BATTLEGROUND.
FOR MANY OF US, EARTH BECAME A PRECIOUS MEMORY LIGHT-YEARS AWAY.
OUR ONLY HOME WAS A FORTRESS IN SPACE.
AS IN ANY WAR,
THERE WERE LONG PERIODS WITH NOTHING TO DO BUT WAIT.
AND THEN...

JOEY ?
HEY, JOEY !

I'M SORRY.
I COULD SEE WHERE THE DRAC FIGHTER WENT DOWN.
ITS EJECTION CAPSULE COULDN'T BE FAR FROM THE WRECK.
I JUST HOPED IT WASN'T DEAD...
YET.
IT'S FUNNY, BUT I'D NEVER ACTUALLY SEEN A DRAC.
I KNEW THEY WERE COMPLETELY INHUMAN,
NOT EVEN MALE OR FEMALE,
BUT BOTH, BUNDLED TOGETHER IN A SCALY REPTILIAN BODY.

[ Laughing ]
HA HA.
THAT IS DAVIDGE'S UGLY HEAD. [ Laughs ]
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S ENOUGH !
YOU KEEP THAT UP AND YOU CAN LEARN ENGLISH ALL BY YOURSELF...
BECAUSE I'M NOT GONNA BE YOUR TEACHER ANYMORE.
SORRY, DAVIDGE.
THAT'S BETTER.
YOU KNOW, WHILE YOU'RE HAVING SUCH A GOOD TIME AND DOING NOTHING,
I AM TRYING TO THINK OF WAYS TO IMPROVE OUR SITUATION.
- OKAY. - YOU KNOW THE OLD SAYING,
IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED,
TRY, TRY AGAIN.
DAVIDGE, YOU LEARN THIS FROM GREAT DRAC TEACHER, SHISMAR ?
NO, FROM MICKEY MOUSE.
- WHO ? - MICKEY MOUS-S-S-SE.
MICKEY MOUSE.
IS THIS GREAT EARTHMAN TEACHER ?
YEAH. SORT OF.
## SHINE ITS EVER-LOVIN' LIGHT ON ME ##
## LET THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL ##
## SHINE ITS LIGHT ON ME ##

MMM ! DELISH. HAVE ONE.
[ Alien Language ]
DON'T FORGET YOU HELPED ME ACQUIRE THE TASTE.
BESIDES, I'M GOING TO IMPROVE THE MENU.
SOON WE PICKED UP... ONE SIDE OR OTHER SIDE.
WHAT, WITH THE WAR GOING ON ?
WE GOT MORE CHANCE OF CATCHING A GREYHOUND BUS.
HUMANS, EASY YOU GIVE UP.
SHISMAR TEACHES US...
INTELLIGENT LIFE TAKES A STAND.
[ Laughs ] WHERE DID YOU GET THAT CRAP ?
OUT OF THAT LITTLE BOOK YOU'RE ALWAYS READING ?
I'M THE ONE THAT'S TAKING A STAND.
REMEMBER, I WOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU SONS OF SHITMAT.
SHISMAR !
YEAH, WHATEVER. [ Trills ]
THIS WAR BEGUN BY YOU, BY HUMANS !
YOU KNOW SOMETHING, JERRY ?
YOUR GREAT SHISMAR AIN'T SHIT.
[ Trills ]
EARTHMAN,
YOUR MICKEY MOUSE IS ONE BIG STUPID DOPE !
[ Suppressing Laugh ]
YEA ! MEAT !
STAY THERE, YOU MOTHER ! HEY ! HEY ! HEY ! AHA !
YOU DIRTY ROTTEN SON OF A BITCH !
SHIT.

JERRY ! JERRY !
JERRY ! JERRY ! JERRY !
AAH !
AAH ! JERRY !
JERRY !
AAH !
JERRY ! OH !
OH, GOD ! OH, GOD !
JERRY ! HELP !
GET IT !
[ Growling ]
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
GO AHEAD.
AAH ! AAH, GOD !
YOU SAVED MY LIFE.
- WHY ? - MAYBE...
I NEED TO LOOK AT ANOTHER FACE...
EVEN AS UGLY AS YOURS.
SO YOU STILL THINK HUMANS ARE UGLY, HUH ?
COMPARED TO A DRAC, VERY UGLY.
BUT THAT THING OUT THERE...
WAS EVEN MORE UGLY THAN YOU.
- THANK YOU. - YOU ARE WELCOME.
HA ! THAT'S IT !
EVEN THAT THING UNDER THE GROUND COULDN'T BITE THROUGH THIS.
I BET THESE SHELLS ARE METEORPROOF.
[ Laughs ] THEY'RE METEORPROOF !
- WHAT ? - ZERKIPROOF ! ZERKIPROOF !
[ Laughs ]
JERRY, OLD DRAC, [ Laughs ]
- WHERE WOULD YOU BE WITHOUT ME, HUH ? - BACK HOME.
AH, SHIT !
HEY, PROFESSOR,
HOW ABOUT A LITTLE HELP, HUH ?
DON'T YOU EVER GET TIRED OF READING THAT BOOK ?
NO.
WELL, WHAT'S IN IT, ANYWAY ?
THINGS.
OH, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE !
IT IS CALLED TALMON.
IT CONTAINS THE WORDS OF OUR GREAT TEACHER, SHISMAR.
I SUPPOSE YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE DRAC LANGUAGE TO READ IT, RIGHT ?
IT WOULD HELP.
SO TEACH ME THE DRAC LANGUAGE.
IT IS NOT FOR YOU, DAVIDGE.
SHISMAR IS TOO GOOD FOR US HUMANS, IS THAT IT ?
NOT TOO GOOD FOR HUMANS, BUT TOO GOOD FOR YOU.
NOW YOU'RE A JUDGE OF CHARACTER.
DO YOU NOT REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT SHISMAR ?
WELL, MAYBE YOU FORGOT WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT MICKEY MOUSE !
THAT WAS WRONG.
I DID NOT MEAN IT.
I DIDN'T MEAN WHAT I SAID ABOUT SHISMAR, EITHER.
JERRY, WHAT, WHAT ARE YOU--
THIS BOOK MUST BE GIVEN TO THE PUPIL.
I THEN BECOME THE MASTER.
I AM NOT WORTHY, BUT THERE IS NO ONE ELSE HERE.
[ Alien Language ]
TIME PASSED, AS TIME DOES.
WE ATE, WE SLEPT.
AND SOMETIMES I LISTENED TO THE SKIES...
FOR SOME FAINT HOPE OF RESCUE.
[ Gasps ]
IN THE MEANTIME,
I STUDIED ITS LANGUAGE AND READ ITSTALMON.
[ Speaking Alien Language ]
TRANSLATE.
"IF ONE RECEIVES EVIL FROM ANOTHER,
"LET ONE NOT DO EVIL IN RETURN.
"RATHER, LET HIM EXTEND LOVE...
"TO THE ENEMY,
THAT LOVE MIGHT UNITE THEM."
I'VE HEARD ALL THIS BEFORE...
IN THE HUMANTALMON.
OF COURSE YOU HAVE.
TRUTH IS TRUTH.
BUT WHAT YOU HAVE NOT YET LEARNED...
IS THE WAY WE DRACS EXPRESS THE TRUTH.
THE WORDS OF SHISMAR MUST BE SUNG.

## OOH ##
## ZOTAIR ##

JERRY !
LET'S GO !
COME ON, JERRY, MOVE IT !
RUN !
GET UP ! GET UP, DAMN YOU !
WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO, CARRY YOU, YOU LAZY BASTARD ? I AM SORRY.
WE LIVE LIKE CANNIBALS.
YOU GET SO FAT, YOU CAN BARELY MOVE.
YOU'LL NEVER CONQUER THE UNIVERSE IN THAT STATE.
CONQUER THE UNIVERSE ? WE WERE HERE 1,000 YEARS BEFORE YOU !
WELL, IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD, DRAC FACE,
WE LEGALLY ANNEXED THIS STAR SYSTEM.
YOU INVADED THIS STAR SYSTEM ! BULLSHIT !
YOU'RE THE INVADERS.
NO. WE ARE EXPLORERS. WE ARE FOUNDERS OF WORLDS !
WHAT DO YOU THINK WE ARE, DRAC FACE, HOMEBODIES ?
WE'VE SETTLED TWICE AS MANY WORLDS THAN YOU.
EXACTLY. YOU SPREAD LIKE A DISEASE.
THEN WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT, HUH ?
YOU'LL SEE WHAT WE DO ABOUT IT, EARTHMAN. WE FIGHT.
SOME FIGHTER YOU ARE.
YOU WOULDN'T LAST A WEEK WITHOUT ME. [ Alien Language ]
YOU OWE YOUR MISERABLE EXISTENCE TO ME.
WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT !
GET OUT OF MY SHELTER ! GET OUT ! GET OUT ! GET OUT OF MY SHELTER !
YOU SON OF A BITCH ! IT'S MY SHELTER !
I BUILT IT !
YOU SON OF A BITCH ! I'LL KILL YOU, YOU BASTARD !
I'LL KILL YOU !
JERRY...
I THINK WE'RE STARTING TO GO CRAZY.
WHAT WE HAVE TO DO, WE HAVE TO START MOVING.
DO YOU THINK WE REALLY ARE ALONE OUT HERE ?
OF COURSE WE ARE ALONE.
I DON'T KNOW.
I HAD THAT DREAM AGAIN.
THERE'S THIS BIG SHIP IN MY DREAM.
IT'S SO LOUD, I WAKE UP.
AND THEN I CAN STILL HEAR IT.
IT WAS A DREAM.
I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE.
BUT I DO KNOW IF WE STAY HERE, WE DIE.
SOONER OR LATER, WE'LL DIE.
IF THIS PLANET DON'T KILL US, WE'RE GONNA KILL EACH OTHER.
YOU SURE YOU WON'T COME WITH ME, HUH ?
DAVIDGE, I STAY HERE.
I HAVE NO INTEREST IN YOUR DREAMS.
ANY CHANCE IS BETTER THAN NO CHANCE.
COME ON, JERRY. YOU'RE JUST BEING STUBBORN.
NO, I AM NOT JUST BEING...
STUBBORN.
IF I FIND HELP...
I'LL COME BACK FOR YOU.
AND IF YOU DO NOT ?
THEN I GUESS WE BOTH DIE.
ALONE.
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
[ Clanging ]
[ Laughs ]
HELLO !
ANYBODY !
[ Clanging ]
CORE SAMPLES.
THEY'RE CORE SAMPLES.
[ Screams ]
SCAVENGERS.
WHAT I'D BEEN HEARING AT NIGHT WAS THE SCAVENGER SHIP.
THE SCAVENGERS WERE HUMAN-- BARELY HUMAN.
THEY WERE OUTLAW MINERS WHO RAPED WHOLE PLANETS FOR PRECIOUS ORES.
THEY HUNTED DRACS FOR SLAVE LABOR, SO WE TOLERATED THEM.
I COULD ONLY HOPE THEY'D FOUND NOTHING.
I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY TO JERRY.
DAVIDGE...
HOW COLD DO YOU THINK IT'S GOING TO GET ?
I DON'T KNOW.
I GUESS WE'LL FIND OUT.
I AM HAPPY YOU CAME BACK.
JERRY ?
HEY, JERRY, WHAT'S WRONG ?
I COULD NOT GO WITH YOU.
IT IS NO LONGER MY LIFE THAT MATTERS.
I AM NOT FAT.
I AM NOT LAZY.
DAVIDGE.
I AWAIT A NEW...
LIFE.
A NEW LIFE ? FROM WHERE ?
OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD ? ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU'RE PREGNANT ?
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A BABY ?
A LITTLE DRAC ?
[ Laughing ]
BUT HOW ?
WELL, DON'T LOOK AT ME ! [ Laughing ]
JERRY, YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME.
WITH YOU HUMANS,
BIRTH IS A MATTER OF CHOICE.
WITH US DRACS, IT HAPPENS.
WHEN THE TIME COMES,
IT JUST HAPPENS.
THAT IS WHY I COULD NOT GO WITH YOU.
MY CHILD IS ALL...
I HAVE NOW.
DAVIDGE, TELL ME.
WHAT... DID YOU FIND...
OUT THERE ?
NOTHING.
LIKE YOU SAID, IT WAS JUST A DREAM.
