Jerry! Help!

Get it!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Go ahead.

Aah! Aah, God!

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! That's it!

Even that thing under the ground

couldn't bite through this.

I bet these shells

are meteorproof.

They're meteorproof!

- What?

- Zerkiproof! Zerkiproof!

- Where would you be without me, huh?

- Back home.

Ah, sh*t!

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.

Time passed, as time does.

We ate, we slept.

And sometimes I listened

to the skies...

for some faint hope

of rescue.

In the meantime,

I studied its language

and read its talmon.

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.

Jerry!

Let's go!

Come on, Jerry,

move it!

Run!

Get up!

Get up, damn you!

- What do I have to do, carry you?

- I am sorry.

We live

like cannibals.

You get 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,

Drac face,

we legally annexed

this star system.

- You invaded this star system!

- Bullshit!

You're the invaders.

No. We are explorers.

We are founders of worlds!

What do you think we are,

Drac face, homebodies?

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.

Some fighter you are.

You wouldn't last a week without me.

You owe your miserable

existence to me.

We'll see

about that!

Get out of my shelter!

Get out! Get out!

Get out of my shelter!

You son of a b*tch!

It's my shelter!

I built it!

You son of a b*tch!

I'll kill you, you bastard!

I'll kill you!

I'll kill you!

Jerry...

I think we're

starting to go crazy.

What we have to do,

we have to start moving.

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.

Come on, Jerry.

You're just being stubborn.

No, I am not

just being...

stubborn.

If I find help...

I'll come back for you.

And if you do not?

Then I guess we both die.

Alone.

I'll see you later.

Hello!

Anybody!

Core samples.

They're core samples.

Scavengers.

What I'd been hearing at night

was the scavenger ship.

The scavengers were human...

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 going to say to Jerry.

Davidge...

how cold do you think

it's going to get?

I don't know.

I guess we'll find out.

I am happy

you came back.

Jerry?

Hey, Jerry,

what's wrong?

I could not go with you.

It is no longer

my life that matters.

I am not fat.

I am not lazy.

Davidge.

I await a new...

life.

A new life?

From where?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God?

Are you telling me you're pregnant?

You're going to

have a baby?

A little Drac?

But how?

Well, don't look at me!

Jerry, you can't

do this to me.

With you humans,

birth is

a matter of choice.

With us Dracs,

it happens.

When the time comes,

it just happens.

That is why

I could not go with you.

My child is all...

I have now.

Davidge, tell me.

What... did you find...

out there?

Nothing.

Like you said,

it was just a dream.

Zammis. Hmm?

Zammis?

Zammis.

Soon.

Jerry!

Jerry! Jerry!

Jerry, look out!

I can't see!

I can't see!

Over here!

Help me!

Come on, Jerry.

Don't you quit on me.

- Tell me about Zammis.

- Zammis?

What kind of name

is Zammis?

There are five names

in a Drac's lineage.

I am Sheegan.

Before me was Gathic.

And before Gathic

was Islane.

Come on,

keep talking.

Before Islane was Tighe.

Before Tighe was Zammis.

Up there. Look!

One day I must

stand with Zammis...

before the holy council

on Dracon...

and recite our lineage...

so that Zammis may join...

the society

of all Dracs.

You wanna eat?

I can't.

Maybe we should open up

a little place here.

I could ruin the food.

You could frighten

the customers.

Davidge.

I will teach you

the Farebeat line.

Before or after

breakfast?

It is an honor

I offer you.

I'm sorry.

Right now just staying alive

is honor enough, huh?

All right.

I will learn

your lineage.

Let us begin

with your parents.

Who were they?

My dad's

name's Carl.

My mom's

name's, uh...

Dolores.

Their deeds?

Well, Dad works for a company

that makes computers.

And my mom,

she used to be

a waitress.

- Waitress.

- Yeah, before they got married.

And their parents?

We used to visit my grandpa

when I was just a kid.

He had this place

out in the country.

I think

he was a farmer.

And, uh...

Grandma was just

a good cook.

Oh.

That is your lineage.

Here stands before you...

Willis E. Davidge.

Fighter pilot.

Son of Dolores,

who used to be

a waitress.

And Carl,

maker of computers,

who in their time

were born of Grandpa,

possibly a farmer.

And Grandma,

good cook.

You make it sound

pretty thin.

It is thin.

But I am honored...

that you

entrusted it to me.

My own lineage

is very rich, Davidge.

Learn it from me.

Allow me to do you

this honor.

It will be

a good gift between us.

Jerry went on
