"( Tank by The Seatbelts )" "I think it's time to blow this thing." "Get everybody and their stuff together." "Okay, 3..2..1.." "Let's JAM!" "If you don't work, you don't eat." "You're a hunting dog." "Hunt up some food." "We girls are different." "We have to be pampered because we are delicate and refined." "Three million woolong reward..." "Well, I'll just have the boys get it for me than." "Damn, that blues harp sounds sweet I knew it would." "I thought you like Jazz." "Don't be dense." "I started wailing the blues when the doctor whacked my bottom on the day I was born." "A baby hipster, very cool..." "No doubt about it, it's Giraffe." "All right, I'm going in from the right." "You take the left side." "Lardboy's in the way..." "Ohhh..." "That's..." "Fatty." "Make a move, Jet." "The ball's in your court." "Yo!" "Hey, Fatty!" "Fatty River!" "Long time no see!" "Oh!" "Who woulda guess, if it isn't Jet Black!" "Well, well, when the hell did you blow in?" "How about you?" "You're looking pretty cheery!" "What happened?" "Did ya catch a nice big one?" "I had no idea you were a fan of the blues, Fatty." "You're kidding me." "I listen to the blues when I was still in my father's sac!" "If you know what I mean." " Sorry!" " Hey!" "Give it back, now!" "Zebra!" "Hey you!" "Wake up!" "HEY!" "Ah great, you die and I lose the reward." "D-Don't be fooled by him..." "By the way he looks..." "Don't talk!" "Try to stay alive!" "Not me..." "He needs help now Help him..." "This stone..." "WAIT!" "I can't be sure until I run all the test but this may be worth a hefty sum." "So, what do you want to do with it?" "I have no idea." "The guy gives it to me on his own, and then he dies on his own." "I don't see any reason why we shouldn't keep it." "There is no reason." "You're not responsible for that kid, after all." "This thing is gonna pay for our food." "OUR food, not yours." "You know, I think your hearts is made out of lead." "Not like me." "I'm a nice guy." "I have a gift for you." "Yeah!" "Alright, what is it?" "An official invoice?" "A invoice for what?" "All the expenses that you've racked up since you've been on our ship." "And thanks for your business!" "Yeah, great." "Anytime.." "Why do you want to know about this dead guy?" "Well... uh..." "So you were after Giraffe, too." "Did you get a good deal?" "Enjoying the sweets?" "I always do." "There's no bounty in it you know." "Yeah." "That's right." "There's nothing to gain here, at all." "No, I mean it." "There's nothing on the line here." "Yeah, right, Jet." "You'll gonna owe me one for today." "You know that kid on the blues harp the other day?" "His name is Wen." "Giraffe was after the kid's so called father." "And old friend, named Zebra." "They were friends?" "Gez, you didn't even know that?" "The two of them were the leaders of the Self Defense Volunteer Squad." "They worked together until about ten years ago." "I don't get it." "Why was he after an old comrade?" "Ten years ago, they had a confrontation with some space raiders." "A land dispute." "It all came down at some RD facility near Mars..." "A few days later, the raiders are wiped out, Zebra's missing." "And Giraffe is found blindfolded in a silo." "They say Zebra double crossed him so he could run the squadron solo." "Later, Zebra turns up in a wheel chair with the kid." "I guess it didn't turn out the way he planned." "So, the bottom line is Giraffe was killed off over some internal politics." "Betrayal may come easily for women, but men live by iron codes of honor." "You believe that...?" "I'm trying to, real hard." "Tell me." "Who are you?" "Just some suspicious guy." "What do you want here?" "Before Giraffe bought the farm he ask me to come here to help you." "But Zebra shot Giraffe..." "Ah, huh..." "Then why would Giraffe ask him to help the kid?" "It doesn't make sense." "The kid is in the headlines." "I guess he must be pretty famous." "Yeah." "The kid's a genius." "Plays like an old pro." "Hey, wait a minute!" "This guy isn't Zebra...!" "What that!" "?" "Look close." "Can't you see the date?" "What the hell!" "?" "This was published 30 years ago." "How can he have the same face!" "?" "Come on." "There's nothing to be afraid of." "Come here, let's talk." "You better stay outta it." "Little twerp like you sticks his neck out too far, you'll get it cut off." "Understand?" "Don't give me that crap, kid." "Sorry, but I'm not a kid." "All kids say that." "I know what I look like  but I was alive when this place was an outpost." "Before the asteroids were even settled." "Get the picture?" "The hyperspace gate had blown to bits." "From that day on, my body completely stopped aging." "I can't die." "There was always somebody discovering me, doing experiments." "They all died, and I kept on living." "The end for this guy started when his Self Defense Volunteer squad ... hit our RD lab." "I needed a new cover." "Someone to play the part of my "parent"." ""D-Don't be fooled by him..." "By the way he looks..." ""...he..." ""needs help now..." ""...help him..."" "I think he is the third guy I've used like this." "Now, where is the ring." "Ring?" "What ring?" "That's okay..." "Even if you had it, it would be just a case of casting pearls before swine." "Ah, quit complaining, you big klutz!" "You're lucky you got away with this little scratch on your arm we don't have the money to pay for a funeral!" "I'm sorry." "(Dog starts barking)" "Can it, Ein!" "Don't be obnoxious." "Oh...?" "Jet, the alpha-catch." "Shit..." "this piece of junk." "All right!" "Now..." "what do you make out of this?" "The hotel room." "He's remembering the time that Giraffe got blown away." "Give him back now, Zebra!" "Come overhere!" "Shit!" "And then what?" "Come on, what did Giraffe say!" "?" "I have it now." "I can do you in with this." "This stone has the power to return time to you!" "Now, hand Zebra over to me!" "Zebra!" "When the Gate exploded, ...a coordinate system was created from resulting twist in hyperspace a kind of singularity that drew in vast amounts of energy." "Enclosing and crystallizing them into a single faceted stone." "The gem that makes up this ring" "That same energy broke Wen's circadian rhythm." "His pineal body continually produces a substance like melatonin   that inhibits aging." "That's the theory in a nutshell." "Get the picture?" "Yeah, as if..." "I don't either." "Which simply means, there's no way to know for sure until we stick the gem into the kid an find out." "Anything could happen." "It could blow sky high the moment it hits." "Kinda makes it interesting." "Yes, my dear?" "I jut thought I'd say goodbye, Spike  I'm sure it's the last time I'll be seeing you." "You mean, you're finally leaving us?" "No, I mean you're not coming back." "I don't like this set up, Jet." "Don't like it at all." "Men are such total idiots." "I see..." "Yes, I can finally die at last." "I feel so heavy..." "But I feel ..." "I feel finally at ease." "Do you understand?" "Do you understand...?" "Do YOU?" "Yeah, I understand ..." "As if." "Bang." "English subtitle by Dana Robertson You're welcome."
