"You think she's still alive?" "I mean, that she actually could have survived?" "Who?" "Who?" "Xev!" "The real Xev, not the Prince Xev, I mean, the Xev that was Prince in Xev's body." "She may be alive." "She may not." "We do not know for certain either way." "Kai?" "Stan?" "I'm up here." "I'm up here." "There are no footprints in the sand." "Well, if there are no footprints, that means she must still be in the city, right?" "Perhaps." "Well if there are no footprints she has to be here." "They have balloons on this planet - and we do not know if Xev is still alive." "Oh yes we do." "Hi guys." "Took you long enough." "You want some water?" "Yeah." "I'm tired, Xev." "I'm tired of being stuck here, and I'm tired of being captain of this ship and I'm just - look," "I just wanna find some place with a little bit of peace and quiet." "Now is that, is that too much to ask?" "No." "I mean, we've been looking for a new home all this time, right?" "And are we any closer to finding it?" "And suppose we do break out of this orbit, wha t then?" "I mean, where are we gonna go, what are we gonna do, hmm?" "Are we gonna find someplace better?" "Or are we just gonna get eaten by something terrible?" "What are you saying, Stanley?" "What I'm saying, Xev, is that the Light Universe is gone, and now we're in the Dark Zone, the universe of evil and chaos and depravity." "And maybe, the water planet is as good as it gets here." "***chybí***" "Look, if there is a city down there that's OK, then we won't have to run anymore!" "Yeah, till that place gets attacked by balloons from Fire." "Well, Kai'll protect us." "You will, won't you Kai?" "Until my protoblood runs out." "And" " I cannot protect the both of you all the time unless you stay together, all the time." "Protect me, stud muffin!" "Yeah, that's gonna happen." "Lexx." "Yes, Stan?" "***Exacte a*** I know your stomach is empty, but I'm asking you,as a personal favour   do you think that you could muster enough energy to just, just get us out of this terrible part of the universe?" "I cannot fly anywhere until I eat something." "I'm sorry, Stan." "790, look, how long ids it before Lexx's orbit decays completely and we crash into one of those two planets?" "We will crash in 151 hours." "OK Lexx, look, just, just how much food do you need to break out of this orbit?" "A lot, Stan." "I cannot fly till I eat a lot of food, Stan." "I am very very hungry." "Yeah, yeah." "Kai - you said the cities on Water all had lots of food." "They do - but I do not know if we can transport enough in time to get the Lexx out of this orbit before we crash." "Kai - you propel me out of my orbit." "Oooooh!" "Thank you, 790." "Well - we're running out of time, so we should make a decision, soon." "I don't know, OK?" "I don't know, I don't know what decision to make, all right?" "Except that I gotta sleep on it, that's my decision, OK?" "I want to go to bed too, Kai." "You do not sleep, 790." "Who said anything about sleep?" "Yes she does - no she doesn't." "Yes she does - no she doesn't." "Yes she does." "No she doesn't." "Yes she does." "Hi, Lyekka." "Hi, Stanley." "Oh, I missed you." "I missed you too." "Are you alive?" "No." "Is this - am I having a dream?" "Yes!" "Isn't it wonderful?" "Yeah." "Lyekka, I was thinking - umm " "What?" "Well, you're a plant, right?" "Yes." "And you're smooth right round the bend." "I am smooth right round the bend." "So that means that you can't make love in a normal human kind of way." "No Stan." "I cannot." "Do you think you could, in a creative way?" "What do you mean, Stan?" "Well I mean, a woman can make a man feel good - if she wants to - you know, she does certain things, right." "I want to make you feel good, Stan." "Oh, OK." "I'm ready." "What was that?" "I'm hungry, Stan." "And I want to make you feel really good." "Dream." "Just a dream." "Oh." "So Stan, what's the priority?" "Food for Lexx, or finding a new home?" "What about both?" "We have to choose." "Well, you know Xev, I'm not really good at this choosing thing." "Kai" " I know you don't have wants, but what do you think we should do?" "I think you should make a choice that brings you happiness." "Well, that's really helpful, Kai." "Thanks a lot, pal." "Well, Xev - there's our big pile of food." "Garden, it does give, give, give." "Garden, it does live, live, live." "Fruits and plants, blooms so sweet." "Garden gives good things to eat." "All the whole day long." "Garden, it does give, give, give." "This could be the place." "There are many cities on Water." "Here we grow food for all of them." "How many of you grow food?" "Oh, there's myself, Tulip, and Daffodil." "I guess there's just the three of us, right now anyway, I think." "And the ships are yours?" "The ships deliver the food to the other cities." "What do you get in return?" "In return?" "Yeah, I mean, you're sending all this food out, don't you ever get anything back?" "On Garden we like to grow food." "The beautiful Garden gives, Xev." "It makes us happy." "Er - just out of curiosity, er, you said there were just the three of you." "Are there any males?" "Of course!" "Where?" "Everywhere!" "The soil is very fertile here." "Yeah, I bet." "It's eager to nurture." "To make things rise up and grow, strong and thick." "Yeah, it's working for me." "It makes us happy." "Bet I could be made to be happy too." "If we get all our moths down here, we might have enough food for the Lexx." "Yeah, we might." "But I think we have to start now." "I agree, except " "What?" "Well, Xev, look around you!" "I mean, it's a beautiful city." "We got all the delicious food you could ever want, attractive people, I mean, what's the hurry?" "Less than 150 hours is the hurry, if you remember." "I don't care about that anymore." "Hello." "Hello." "Daffodil - where are your men?" "Well - everywhere." "Where is everywhere?" "This is a male, see?" "It has a stamen." "And, this is a female." "You know, some of the plants are both male and female at the same time, but" " I like them all." "You are a female, are you not?" "Yes." "I think so." "So - there are male plants but no male humans on this city." "No, I suppose not." "Stanley will be happy to hear that." "We like dead things." "Why?" "Well, when things die here, we put them back into the soil - so that they can help create new life." "You can help us create new life." "Hey Lily, really like this place you got here." "I like it too." "Yeah." "Very attractive." "It's full of beautiful flowers." "Yeah." "The kind of flowers you'd like to pluck." "I'm not making you feel uncomfortable, am I?" "No." "You know, since I'm gonna be around for a while, maybe I should tell you a little something about myself." "Well, you see, I'm just a guy, you know, with hopesand dreams, big heart, sense of adventure." "Sometimes I'm attracted to beautiful things." "Like, flowers?" "Yeah, yeah." "Like flowers" " Lily!" "Yeah, but you know, sometimes even in a great big beautiful bouquet there's just one flower that stands out apart from all the rest." "Oh, I know what you mean." "There's always one plant that you love more than all the others, that you want to touch, to stroke, and love all to pieces." "I know exactly what you mean." "You do?" "Yeah." "I wanna water your garden, Lily." "Can I do that?" "Yes." "This could take a while." "Hey!" "Dead man." "How's it going?" "There are no male humans on this city - only male plants." "What do you mean, there's just you, me and Xev " "And the three female gardeners." "That's all?" "That appears to be all, yes." "Oh." "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that - for Xev's sake." "Well, there are no men here." "You're right." "I don't want to stay." "No?" "No problem." "I resign." "You can be captain of the Lexx." "Look" " I found a place that I really really like, OK?" "You can too." "I'm sure there's some city that's just right for you somewhere on this planet." "What about Kai, where does he go?" "I mean, he can't protect us both if we'rein two different places, right?" "And these two planets are at war." "Stan - why don't we just get as much food as we can and go back to the Lexx and find a planet that suits us both?" "I'm happy here!" "Look, Xev, I mean it, I resign." "OK, you know, take the moths, take food back to the Lexx, I don't care!" "I don't have the key." "Well - you know what you've got to do to get it." "It can always be passed on the edge of death, remember?" "So what are you gonna do Xev?" "Kill me?" "Maybe I should." "Kai?" "Kai!" "Yes?" "Where are you?" "Over here." "Where?" "Here." "Xev - if you want to feed the Lexx you must go back now, and return with as many moths and moth breeders as are ready." "What are you doing?" "Decomposing." "Why are you buried in the dirt?" "It is - the natural way of all dead things." "So you're just going to stay in the soil until - what?" "Until you rot?" "!" "Unless you request otherwise." "But as I am decarbonised, it could take some time." "I'm leaving." "Where are you going?" "I don't know." "Somewhere, better than this place." "Tulip?" "Yes?" "Do you mind if I, um " "I want to give you something." "Is that OK?" "Oh yeah." "Oh yeah, it's OK." "It's juicy " "Oh yeah." "And it's sweet." "Ooo, I like sweet." "And it's slippery." "I really like slippery." "And it's soft." "Mmm." "And it's ripe." "OK." "Let's get started." "Ready ready ready." "Take a bite." "Well yeah, I've had these before and, um " "I wanted you to have it." "Er - thanks." "Is there anything else that you wanted to give me?" "Hmm?" "Yeah." "Later." "Yeah." "Garden it does live live live!" "Garden it does give give give!" "I'm ready." "Are you?" "Yes." "Oh wait, it's growing." "You got that right." "I like it when they grow fast." "Very fast." "Mmm, ditto." "I want you." "I want you now." "You want me?" "I want to plant my seed in your garden." "Oh, OK." "Oh yeah." "Like this." "Every one about this far apart." "That way they grow the best." "No no." "I want you, to do to me, what I know you want to do." "Thank you." "Thank you." "That's good." "Kai." "Hello Stanley." "How's your decomposition going?" "Oh, the process of decomposition is a very long one." "Once my protoblood fails, my body will very gradually return to the earth in the form of inorganic basic compounds." "Well, whatever makes you happy." "It does not make me happy." "You're very strange, you know that?" "What do you think I should do?" "Xev of B3K." "Xev of B3K." "Wrong." "The correct answer is - always flatter your man." "Never admit his failings." "Good baby." "***chybí text***" "I want you." "Touch me, touch me, touch me, come on!" "Xev" " I was thinking of you." "I want you." "I want you - right now." "OK, Lily look, I'm desperate, OK?" "I'll plant your seeds, I'll water your garden, I'll hoe your row." "I'll do anything, humiliate myself, anything!" "Just answer me one question - do you actually know what sex is?" "Sex is when a female plant is fertilised by a male plant, and a new plant is created." "Do you know anything about sex between people?" "Yeah, what a concept." "Look, I wanna teach you about sex between people, I want you to learn that, OK, can you do that?" "If I can." "OK." "Good." "This is how it goes." "See, it takes two to do this." "I can't do it all by myself, you gotta help, OK?" "OK." "That's how to do it." "This is not making me happy." "I know how to make you happy." "Yeah, how?" "I could give you a nice plant." "You know, right now, I'm not that interested in plants." "But that's what we do here on Garden." "We grow plants to make people happy!" "Women, with no clothes on, very very close to me - that makes me happy." "But plants, you know, that doesn't make me happy." "Surely we could create a plant that would make you happy, at least a bit?" "You know, right now I can honestly say, more than ever before, that there is no kinda plant that you can" " Any kind of plant?" "Any kind you have ever seen." "Yeah, but how?" "We can take it from you - from your dreams." "Yeah?" "Perfect!" "Grow garden, grow garden, dream garden, dream." "Do I have to?" "Grow garden, grow garden, dream garden, dream." "Grow garden, grow garden, dream garden, dream." "Grow garden, grow garden, dream garden, dream." "Let the garden dream." "Huh?" "Stanley - let the garden dream." "The beautiful Garden gives." "Lyekka!" "Stan!" "Oh, Lyekka." "I was just dreaming about you." "I'm happy you dreamt about me." "I'm hungry." "No, Lyekka, no no." "I know you need protein, but I don't want you to eat them, OK?" "I want you, I want you to teach them how to please a man, in creative ways." "I like you Stan." "Oh look, Lyekka - hey, I bet those taste good, huh?" "Hello, Lyekka." "He's dead." "You got that right." "So - how's it going now, pal?" "Same as ever." "Same as ever." "Lyekka?" "Lyekka?" "I like it in here." "And I like you." "You do?" "Oh, you're my favourite plant ever!" "I'll do whatever you want." "You look really tasty." "I do?" "I want to eat you." "Oh, you do?" "You know, I'm a very hungry plant." "Oh, I want to make you happy, I really do." "You're a very beautiful plant." "Thank you." "I want to make you happy." "I want to make you happy." "But - who will look after the garden?" "Oh, another gardener will come, and she will want to make you happy too." "Touch me." "Mmm." "This place is yummy." "You ate her!" "She was delicious - but the worms were not very tasty, Stan." "Hi." "My name's Daisy." "Hi." "Hi." "Er, there were, there " "She's the new gardener." "New gardener." "Oh." "Well that's nice." "Lyekka?" "Xev!" "What's going on, Stan?" "Well, um" " Lyekka's here now, and she's going to teach Lily and Daffodil to, umm, you know, make a man feel good." "Wanna lesson?" "No, thank you." "I'm leaving." "I don't want you to leave, Stan." "Oh no, no, I'm going to stay here with you Lyekka." "Definitely." "I'm taking Kai!" "Well go ahead, take him." "He's not doing much here anyway." "And Xev, I'm sure there's some stud farm town somewhere here on this planet that will keep you busy." "I'm sure there is." "The garden gives." "Oh, Lyekka." "I like-a Lyekka." "I'm leaving." "I'm going back to the Lexx." "I'm going to get 790, and then I'm going to find the right place for me to live, on Water." "I want you to come with me Kai." "Then we could find a place for us to live together." "There is no right place for the dead - to live." "Goodbye Xev." "***chybí text***" "Lyekka." "I like Lyekka." "More, more, more!" "Xev!" "Here." "I was just thinking." "We've been through a lot together, haven't we?" "You and me, Kai, robot head, the big bug." "Yes." "I'll say goodbye to the Lexx for you." "Yeah, thanks Xev." "I'll miss you Stan." "I'll miss you too Xev." "Say, maybe you can find a place nearby, you know, and be neighbours, come visit each other from time to time, hmm?" "Yeah, maybe." "Hey, who ever would've thought that, when we met each other, way back there on the Cluster, things'd work out, you know, so well?" "After all the crazy things we've been through." "I just wanna say thanks, Xev." "So, I guess this is goodbye." "I don't like goodbyes, Stan." "Sometimes you have to say goodbye." "But it's late in the day, and maybe I'll take off first thing in the morning." "Friends?" "Friends." "You really do like me, don't you Lyekka?" "I mean, as a person, not as a - something to eat?" "Yes." "I like you." "Yeah." "OK, I'm ready - make me happy." "What?" "I'm hungry." "Er - well, yeah!" "I'll be right back, Stan." "Ready, steady - hey Lyekka, don't be long!" "We've got company!" "Delicious."
