Alien Nation: Body and Soul Page #2

I just couldn't abandon all of my research.

I've come so close.

L- I'm sorry. I know

it was foolish...

and now I'm worried about the child-

what an examination will reveal.

Oh!

Yes. Whatever you say.

Please. I have as much

at stake as you do-

No, I just meant if they find out

about OPSI L, sir, not about you.

Yes, I'll-

Yes, I'll see to it.

Hey, yo, slag!

How's the air down there?

Hey, man! We're

talking to you!

- Yeah! Come on, drumhead!

- Come back!

You see the size

of that slag, man?

- That was one large spongehead.

- Yo.

A definite improvement

over Albert's technique.

- You got the healing touch.

- I'm a doctor.

Then you know if you kiss it,

you'll make it better.

- Really?

- Mm-hmm.

- Matt!

- Why don't you take this off and I'll give you a massage?

Do you remember what happened the last

time you touched the spots on my back?

How about if I massage

your front?

Well, I suppose

there's no harm in that.

Still your proximity

could get me aroused.

So I'm never gonna

be able to touch ya?

Not if you don't listen

to your body.

Believe me,

I'm answerin' its call.

You're listening with the wrong part.

You need to be trained.

- On the job.

- No, no, no. I mean by professionals.

Whoa! Yo! I have never paid

for it in my life.

I'm talking about a class. Interspecies

Project L.A. Has one.

A human-Newcomer

sex class.

- They're gonna teach me how to have sex?

- Yes.

Cathy, between you and me,

there's nothing I haven't-

Hell, I lost my virginity

at 14.

- Really?

- Okay. 16.

You're still a virgin when it comes

to Tenctonese women.

Matt.

You know I don't wanna have

a platonic relationship with you...

but if we don't go to this class,

that's all we're ever gonna have.

Did you know that I fantasize

about ripping your clothes off...

and making love to you

up one side of this apartment...

and down the other?

Classes.

Classes.

- Hey, Socrates.

- I'm reading Schopenhauer, not Socrates.

You know, he reads like a child

compared to our Tenctonese elders.

Oh. Well, don't forget

the service on my car.

Uh, Matt's picking me up.

Buck will take the car in.

George, we're gonna

have to talk to him.

Uh, Buck? What about?

Don't tell me

you haven't noticed.

- All this studying.

- Developing a keen intellect. I don't see what the problem is.

He's 20 years old, George,

and he's not even dating.

All his friends are males.

- You know what I mean.

- There's nothing wrong with dating males.

You're not falling into that human

hydrophobia thing, are you?

Homophobia, George-

No, that's not what I'm talking about.

Buck's got no outlet,

you know?

Well, I was kind of a

myself.

You did talk to him about not letting

his aklafluid build up, didn't you?

Oh, yes. Years ago.

Well, maybe we should remind him.

Make sure he's releasing it regular.

Well, if you think

it's necessary.

You don't have a problem talking about

fluid release, do you, George?

Hardly.

Isn't it odd that humans do. Imagine,

they once fired a surgeon general...

for suggesting it be

taught in school.

Good-bye, Nemo.

Hey, Buck.

Oh, don't. Believe me,

I've heard all the jokes.

One of the hazards

of night work, huh?

Believe me,

it's not funny.

Buck!

- What'd I do?

- I ask myself that all the time.

George is in the kitchen.

Yo-whoa!

Oh, this is about

as bad as I've ever seen.

Oh, don't worry, Suze. I know

a guy who can get rid of anything-

freeze termites,

blowtorch, bat infestations.

No, no, no.

Vesna's in there.

Vesna-

Your baby's in there?

Yes, it's a cherboucha-

Uh, like, hibernating.

She's at that age, you know. Surrounded by

loved ones, but isolated and protected.

It's only for 11 months,

but it really helps harmonize the senses.

- That must've hurt.

- L- Oh, yeah.

Uh, yeah. Uh, listen,

Suze...

I know you haven't had

any involvements with human males...

- but-

- Well, not that kind of involvement. No.

Um, see, Cathy thinks

that we should go...

to classes.

- You know, isn't that-

- A great idea!

Otherwise, you could end up

with some permanent damage...

you know, in-

in, well, really, uh...

painful places.

I gotta go.

So, uh, how'd it go

with Cathy last night?

- Ooh.

- Well, no bruises.

- I see you exercised some restraint.

- Hey! We were, uh-

- You know?

- Did you make a field goal?

No, George, more like

a grand slam.

- You did not.

- I did to.

- You did not.

- Did to.

- Matt!

- Cathy.

George! Did he tell you?

We're taking a sex class.

- Cathy-

- Oh, I thought you two had already copulated.

Whatever gave you

that idea?

You should really

come and see this child.

- Matt, what did you-

- George. Hey, George.

Here's some of the canvassing

reports on theJones homicide.

You know, the neighbors,

they reported hearing a helicopter.

Could have landed and taken off.

The time frame fits.

- Why don't you see if you can-

- Airports, F.A. A...

- charter flights.

- Yeah. Right.

- What's the verdict?

- She's not finished.

What is it?

She has only one

cardiovascular system.

She doesn't have

two hearts?

That's impossible.

She's a Newcomer.

Maybe she's not-

no spots, one heart.

Her motor skills are more consistent

with human development.

This is not a human child.

Well, I'm not ready

tojump to that conclusion.

The ear configuration and cranial shape

are definitely Newcomer.

What are you saying?

Half human, half Newcomer?

- A hybrid?

- I thought that was impossible.

Tenctonese have been known

to genetically adapt...

in a single generation.

Interbreeding may be

just a matter of time.

And that time has

obviously come.

I've got the first human Newcomer

right here in my precinct.

I don't know that.

I need time for extensive tests.

Do them! As for you,

I want you to find "Mom" and "Dad. "

This is now part

of your official investigation.

Work fast. This could be big.

Whoa!

Please, Captain...

even if a hybrid birth

is possible-

Human-Newcomer relationships

are already controversial.

It would be worse if it was thought

they could procreate.

I'm not interested in

sociology, just biology.

Find the parents.

Uh, Matt, you won't forget

about our appointment later?

No. No.

Matt, I think the classes

are a good idea.

I mean, this little thing on your neck

is nothing compared-

I warned you guys about hitting on Zapeda.

Nice collar, George-

literally.

- You okay?

- Yes, I'm all right.

Looks like I'm gonna have to

blow off that appointment with Cathy.

No, no. You go on ahead. This fellow's

gonna have a nice, long nap.

- Oh, no, no, no.

- I promise you...

you won't miss

anything.

Good job.

- Did you have a nice swim?

- Yes, I did.

- Dr. Tivoli!

- Penn, what took you so long?

- I shouldn't be in here.

- It's just therapeutic U.V. And nitrogen.

A hood will keep

any human safe.

All right. We're still looking.

I'm covering the whole town.

- It's a matter of time.

- I don't have time! Do you understand?
