Barbarella Page #3

The whole city is built over a lake.

A very curious lake. Composed like

you and I of living energy...

...but energy in liquid form.

And it watches us.

It is magnetic. Being positively charged,

it feeds on negative psychic vibrations.

What you would call "evil".

It thrives on evil thoughts,

deeds and flesh.

In return, it gives us warmth,

light and life itself.

But it has a terrible appetite.

Perhaps you'll see some other time.

Pygar! Pygar!

Don't be concerned.

You'll see him again soon.

Now, if you'll just come this way.

Here, sit.

I'm afraid you must do as I say.

There, sit.

Forward... Please.

- Oh, Moxys...

- What?

Look, Moxys. The earthling.

You get her. Get her now.

The Concierge will never let us. He

always spoils our fun. Let's try anyway.

- Play with us, earthling.

- You must play with us.

- We have lots of dolls.

- My God, what are they doing here?

Stomoxys and Glossina are nieces

of the Great Tyrant.

They're highly favored in our court.

- Why not with us?

- That's not fair.

- The Great Tyrant goes first, children.

- We saw her first.

- Be good, girls.

- Stomoxys, Glossina... stay by me.

So, my pretty-pretty,

we meet again.

You...! The little one-eyed wench.

You have a good memory,

Pretty-Pretty.

Sometimes I like to go

among my people... be like them.

Ordinary. Evil, as you call it.

So, I'm your little one-eyed wench.

I'm also the Great Tyrant.

- Well, that's nice.

- It amuses me immensely.

Now, you want some privileged

information about a certain man, yes?

Yes, I'm here on the orders of the

President of the Republic of Earth.

- I'm here to find Duran Duran.

- I don't mean him, but the angel!

- Pygar?.

- Yes, Pygar.

He has escaped the labyrinth. Crime!

He's destroyed 12 of my Black Guards.

Crime!

And he dares to deprive me

of a pleasure unique in Sogo...

...An earthling. Crime! Crime!

- Where is Pygar?.

- You want your fine-feathered friend?

There he is.

Pygar!

Amusing, isn't it, Pretty-Pretty?.

Don't you feel like playing?

Pretty-Pretty...

You can play with us if you want.

- Yes, why not!

- Good, Pretty-Pretty.

The Mathmos is having

its effect on you already.

It's the fumes.

They make one want to play.

- Decrucify the angel!

- What?

Decrucify him or I'll melt your face!

My face!

My beautiful face...

- Stop or I'll shoot.

- Stop!

- My face!

- I warn you.

How dare you endanger my face!

Observe her power buckle,

Your Majesty.

Depleted. This weapon is

as harmless as a child's toy.

So, it was a trick, was it?

You should have saved your tricks for...

- For the birds, Your Majesty?.

- Yes, the birds.

The birds.

Give it to the birds.

You must...

Tell me, my fancy, fuzzy freak.

What do you think of

when you make love to Barbarella?

Make love? I do not understand.

Don't be coy with me.

You are in no position.

If only you had one eye,

you would see what a delight I am.

My face, my body.

All my things are a delight.

An exquisite delight.

- What is it you want?

- I shall share my delights with you.

You shall make love to me.

An angel doesn't make love.

An angel is love.

Then you're a dead duck.

Guards!

To the Mathmos

with this winged fruitcake.

Come along... Get inside.

Oh, how darling. Oh, my...

Help!

Help!

This is really much too poetic

a way to die.

- Password, quickly.

- I don't understand.

- You're a political prisoner?.

- I don't think so.

- Are you not one of us?

- I'm from Earth.

Earth...? Planet of the Revolutions.

Will you join our cause?

What cause? Who are you?

I'm Dildano, head of the Revolutionary

Forces. This is our headquarters.

- Long live the Revolution!

- The Revolution!

Patrol report.

Second level immediately...

No, take the secret passage.

The door!

Are you typical of earth women?

I'm about average.

- How did I get out of the bird cage?

- Through a secret escape chute.

We've established secret

escape chutes throughout the city.

It's for the protection of our group.

- You realize you saved my life.

- A life without cause is without effect.

I'm sure my government

would repay you.

Earthwoman, shall I tell you

what I would like?

I think I know.

No! Not like that.

Like on earth... the pill.

- I have the pill!

- But...

Couldn't we do it your way?.

I don't want to change your traditions.

I'm not a savage.

- The pill.

- Right.

Five years I've waited

for this experience.

Wait!

Long live the Revolution!

My group must...

Hello!

Sorry!

My group must have more...

Where did you get those pills?

Only Earth people know of those pills.

You there... What news?

My group must have more weapons

before we can launch an attack.

- Back to position. Await your orders.

- Right.

- You will receive your orders!

- Long live the Revolution!

The door... the door... Door!

You must tell me! Did an earth person

give you those pills?

- A man called Duran Duran?

- That's correct.

- Where is he?

- He gave me the pills when he arrived.

Haven't see him since. I think

he's alive... probably in the castle.

- Do you have anything I can...

- Of course, have a secret uniform.

Thank you.

I was sent here by my government

to find Duran Duran.

Your government...?

That must mean that you have

a spacecraft and weapons.

Yes, of course... I don't like this red.

Would you lend your equipment

to our cause?

No, I couldn't do that.

Not till I've completed my own mission.

- Perhaps we can strike a bargain.

- What do you mean?

Only the Black Queen knows

the whereabouts of Duran Duran.

Her one vulnerable moment is when

she's in her secret Chamber of Dreams.

- Chamber of Dreams?

- Yes.

She sleeps alone in a room

above the Mathmos...

...surrounded by a wall of energy,

to which she has a secret key.

There is, however, a second key,

which is now in my possession.

You want to find Duran Duran.

I want to capture the Black Queen.

You follow my meaning?

If you really have a second key,

why haven't you used it already?.

Because our forces

are not yet strong enough.

To capture the Black Queen,

we need to have a military coup.

We can do this with your

weaponry and spacecraft.

Get control of the Black Queen and

you'll know where to find Duran Duran.

- Yes, I see.

- Good.

I need six hours to ready my attack.

First, we need to reach Professor Ping

to find out if Alpha 7 has been repaired.

Easily done.

I have a secret radio transmitter.

Professor Ping to Headquarters...

Professor Ping to Headquarters.

- Professor Ping to Headquar...

- No!

Headquarters to Professor Ping...

Headquarters to Professor Ping.

- Come in, please.

- This is Ping. I hear you loud and clear.

- I have the earthling...

- Barbarella.

...Barbarella with me. We can

use her spacecraft and weaponry.

- Is her spacecraft in working order?.

- Yes, the craft is ready for flight now.

- Excellent!

- There is one danger, however.

A Black Guard patroller spotted

the craft and may return to destroy it.

Good heavens!
