[MAN NARRATING] 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 gonna 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...
[SPEAKING ALIEN LANGUAGE]
[WOMAN ON P.A.] All personnel to battle stations.
Prepare to launch. This is not an exercise.
All personnel to battle stations.

[MURMURING]
Flight leader. This is Echo 2. I have four bandits at 3:00 inbound.
Roger, Echo 2. I copy. Right 90 and go for it.
Echo 6 to flight leader. Our buddies are pulling the yellow line.
Roger, Echo 6. Cleared hot one-on-one with two backup.
Snuff these bastards, get home early, huh?
I got a hot date with Merchison.
The nurse? This time it's gonna happen.
She's gonna give in. I guarantee it.
Isn't that the same Merchison we used to call the white balloon?
Come on. She's lost 20 pounds.
[CHUCKLING]
[LAUGHS] Got ya!
- That-a boy. - Yeah!
Six more bandits on three.
- Leader, copy that? - Roger, Echo 2.
I guess they thought we didn't see 'em.
I sure as hell didn't see 'em. Did anybody see 'em?
I see 'em now.
- Well? - Will, bandit on zero.
Hold on to your lunch, Joey.
Echo 6, bandit's closing!
- Where is he, Will? - He's right on your damn...
- Oh, Jesus! - Bastard!
- How many k's we got left? - [BEEPING]
Another 65, but we have a heat problem.
- What the hell's Will doing? - Say your prayers, toadface.
Shit!
Engine heat beyond normal!
Come on, Will. Blast 'em, and let's get out of here!
That's Fyrine Four down there. Unexplored territory.
Wait, Joey.
[SHOUTS]
We're hitting atmosphere. Visors down!
I lost him! What's on the scope?
Willie, for God's sake, pull out of here! We're gonna burn up!
Damn it! Where is he?
He ejected! He's out!
- The bastard's out! - [SCREAMS]
Come on, Joey. We're punching out!
Oh, shit! Get your nose up.
Come on. Come on!
Get your nose up. That's it.
That's it.
Get up, get up! Easy.
[GRUNTS] Come on, Joey.
[GRUNTS] Come on. Come on.
Joey!
- Are you okay, Will? - Yeah. I'm fine.
Will,
when you see Merchison,
just don't call her the white balloon anymore.
It hurts her feelings.
Okay, Joey.
And don't let the guys call her that.
I liked her.
It's a promise, Joey.
Now, you be still. You lay quiet.
- Will. - What?
I'm really tired.
[EXPLOSION]
Joey?
Hey, Joey!
I'm sorry, Joey.
I'm sorry.
[WILL NARRATING] 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.

We're out in the open. [GRUNTS]
If- If we stay here, we... we die.
Die. [GAGS] Die.
[ALIEN LANGUAGE] Die. Yeah.
What we gotta do...
is we got to take all the goodies out of that thing of yours.
Neesay. The neesay.
Nehsayyy! Nehsay!
Yeah, nehsay.
Get our butts up higher in the forest.
Up there.
At least there's some cover up there.
Cover? You know, cover?
Earthman. [ALIEN LANGUAGE]
Exactly.
I'm glad you agree.
[DRAC TRILLS] Yeah, yeah.
Next time, huh?
I'll put that knife right up your kazoo,
if you got one.
[ALIEN LANGUAGE]
Okay, toadface. You gonna shoot me?
Go ahead, shoot me.
Come on! Shoot me! Go ahead. Do it now! Shoot me!
The point is, Draco, whether we live or die.
I don't love you, and you don't love me, but we're stranded here, you understand?
You get it, or don't you gavee English, huh?
[TRILLING]
[ALIEN LANGUAGE]
Yeah, poogah.
Write and tell my mother, you big frog.
Look.
What we gotta do... [TRILLING]
What we've gotta do is we have to build a shelter with stones.
Shelter. You gavee? Shelter?
[WILL NARRATING] It was slow going.
Since I had to communicate with that lizard,
I tried learning a few words of its crude lingo.
[SIGHS] Hey, Drac.
Drac, uh... [ALIEN LANGUAGE]
[ALIEN LANGUAGE, TRILLS]
Forget it. Enough talk.
Let's get on with it, huh?
Shit!
[WILL NARRATING] Of course, the Drac was picking up a few words of English too.
Yeah! Shit!
Shit? What do you mean, shit?
No solid.
It's solid. I'll show you.
Huh? Ha-ha! Not solid.
[SNICKERING]
[DRAC] Left foot.
[TRILLS] Right foot.
This is my left foot.
This is my right foot.
And this am both my feet.
Yeah, great. Yeah, great.
This is my head.
That is your ugly head.
No, no. This is my head.
That is you head. You ugly head.
[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. [SNICKERS]
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.

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'd 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 eats shit.
[TRILLS]

your Mickey Mouse is one big stupid dope!

Thank you. Thank you.

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-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]
[WILL NARRATING] Time passed, as time does.
[TRILLS]
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 its Talmon.
[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 human Talmon.
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.

You're gettin' 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 it, Drac face,

You invaded this star system! Bullshit!
You're the invaders.
No. We are explorers. We are founders of worlds!

Huh? 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.

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.
Oh, come on, Jerry. You're just being stubborn.
No, I am not just being...

[WILL NARRATING] What I'd been hearing at night was the scavenger ship.
The scavengers were human, all right-
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 gonna say to Jerry.

Those trees over there are your team.
They're a little bit bigger than real players, say, like the Houston Oilers,

You go down to that end of the field.
That's your end zone. Okay? Go on.

Hey, you slimy bastard!
[CHORTLING]
Hot damn, he's got you hot and bothered!
Don't worry. I'll slow him down for you.
[LAUGHING]
You ripped my face, you slimy little Drac! I'll make you pay.
Uncle!
- Who the hell are you? - Let him go!
- Uncle! - Zammis, no!
Uncle!
[LAUGHING]
[GUNSHOTS]
Uncle!

[MALE VOICE] We entrust our brother to God's merciful keeping,
and we commit his body to space.
From ashes to ashes,
from dust to dust-
[RECORDING SLOWS, JAMS]
Jesus Christ!
Didn't they just fix that thing?
Ah, shit. Who's listening anyway?
Next.
"Gavorki, George W. Agnostic."
No music.
So long.
Next.
So where's the damn tag on this one?
Ah, those jerks in prep are really getting sloppy.
So, have a look inside.
Look at this poor freak.
Hey, at least he's in one piece.
Yeah, some guys have all the luck. [CHUCKLES] Right.
Nope, no tag. We'll give him a John Doe.
Protestant.
- Hold it! - What?
Go ahead. Take it.
[GRUNTING]
[WOMAN CHATTERING]
[MUMBLING IN ALIEN LANGUAGE]
Zammis.
[ALIEN LANGUAGE]
Jesus. He speaks Drac.
[BEEPING]
Three years.
Where the hell has he been?
[MAN] That's Will, turning up when you least expect him.
[GROANS]
He was found on the fourth planet of the Fyrine system,
where he just might have been working for the other side.
Are you crazy? That's Will Davidge in there.
[WILL SHOUTS]
I will die! I will die!
[WILL NARRATING] I don't know how long I lay there...
before the surveillance team picked me up.
They thought I was dead.
Well, the medics have had time to nail me back together.
Now I've got to go back.
Will!
Hold it! I told you, I'm going back, with or without your help.
No way. I'm sorry.
We put our asses on the line for you. You owe us for that at least.
I can't let you go, Will.
Never mind. Let him go if he wants to be an asshole.
[MAN ON P.A.] Hello, Pilot. Please identify.
Davidge, Willis E. Got to log a couple of hours.
Mr. Davidge, you have no authorization.
Please deplane immediately.
No way, Charlie. I'm going out.
Shut down those engines, mister! Better get the hell out of there!
I'm going through! I swear it! Now you open those doors.
[ALARM WAILING]
I'm going through! Open them up!
Open the doors!
[SHOUTS]
[MAN] I'm gonna head up there. Keep your eyes open.
[MAN #2] Yeah, okay.
Hey, man. See you five and raise a seven.
Three ladies. Read 'em and weep.
Shit! [CHATTERS]
[ALIEN LANGUAGE]
Zammis. Jareeba Zammis.
Jareeba Zammis!
[ALIEN LANGUAGE]
Zammis? Zammis, huh?
Zammis? Huh? Gavee?
Look.
Talmon. Talmon!
Hey! What's all this standing around?
Come on, back to work!
You miserable slime! Where do you think you are?
[GRUNTS]
A goddamn retirement home? Move! Move!
What are you staring at, slimebag? Son of a bitch!
[SHOUTS]
[SCREAMS]
You are Uncle.
Of course we know your Zammis.
He spoke only to me,
for only I know the Earthman speech.
Where is Zammis now?
Somewhere in their ship,
if he's still alive.
[SHOUTS]
What a lousy hand this is. How about a redeal?
[CRASHING]
Is that you, Dagget? Yeah.
What's going on out there? Trouble.
What kind of trouble? This kind!
[MEN CHATTERING]
Zammis! Zammis!
Zammis, wake up!
It's Uncle.
Zammis!
Oh, no, no, no.
Zammis. Zammis!
Zammis! [GRUNTS]
[GRUNTING]
[SCREAMING]
- Hi. - [SHOUTS]
Hey, this guy's B.T.A.
Thanks for the hot tip.
What are you doing here, B.T.A. Man?
You see that I'm impatient, don't you?
I remember you now.
You killed my brother Johnny.
I thought you croaked out there.
Wake him up and bring him along.
Get up! We don't carry you.
[SCREAMS]
[CLICKING]
Shit!
Hold it, sucker! Yeah! [LAUGHS]
Let's drop the little woggie in the soup. What do you say?
- Boil his bones! - Don't do it! Stop!
Yeah!
Hey, B.T.A. Man, where are you? I want you to see this.
Where are you, you son of a bitch?
Come on!
Don't! No, don't! Zammis!
Zammis!
Yah!
No! Zammis!
No!
Wait, wait, wait!
[LAUGHING]
Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble!
For my little brother.
Oh, no! Oh, no!
It's time to say good-bye.
[LAUGHING]
[GUNSHOT]
Zammis. Zammis.
Hey. It's me. Wake up.
Zammis, wake up.
Wake up. It's Uncle.
It's Uncle, huh?
Zammis...
get four five.
Uncle, you look terrible.
I do?
I really do.
So do you, you little tadpole.
I told you I'd never forget you, huh?
[NARRATOR] And so Davidge brought Zammis and the Dracs home.
He fulfilled his vow...
and recited the line of Zammis's forefathers...
before the holy council on Dracon.

And when, in the fullness of time,
Zammis brought its own child before the holy council,
the name of Willis Davidge...
was added to the line of Jareeba.
