[ELECTRONIC MUSIC.]
"You send me that shiver" "Spin the doll.
" "You can come a little nearer" "And try to make me follow you.
" "With your powers of persuasion" "You tell me I'm the one.
" "But just on this occasion" "Will I be the lonely one?" "Play the game and never cheat.
" "Ooh treat me good, be a little discreet.
" "I can stand on my own two feet.
" "I can be poison, I can be meat.
I'm faster" "Faster than the speed of love".
Ooh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, huh! [TUNELESS GURGLING.]
[CRACK.]
Ouch! Mother! Caught you again, you deceitful boy.
What was he doing, Zelda? Filling his mind with triviality.
Trivi---ality? Yes, the senseless noise, and incessant thumping beat the Earth-scum call "POP".
"Pop"? Yes, indeed.
Observe.
I have complied a list of precedents the Earthlings call the "top ten".
[LAUGHTER.]
The top, pop, ten! [YUNG-STAR AND CY-STAR BOTH LAUGH.]
Top, ten, pop! Urgh--- [CHORTLING.]
Don't encourage him, (Dy-Star.
He misspends his youth, playing with this contraption.
And I intend to put a stop to it.
No, Mother, please! Cy-Star, don't let her smash the Ferret.
Perhaps, Zelda, the machine could be put to a more devious use? Such as? It hears the waves called "radio", that come from the planet Earth.
Might it be possible to reverse the process and send something back? Humm.
Yung-Star, tell me more about your most interesting device.
It's just a small get-together for a few friends.
Oh, yah, er, that sounds really fine.
Urm what time will you pick us up, Miss Kestrel? Oh, around eight, eight-thirty.
Okay, you know.
Er, well, we'll be ready.
Ah-huh.
Good.
I'll see you later.
Bye, Chick.
Goodbye, Kate.
Great session.
Hey, ah, yah.
Urm, goodbye, Miss Kestrel.
What's happening, Stu? Well--- what's happening, right.
Well, what's happening is er, we need to play back that final take and it's a wrap.
It may not work, Mother.
Let us try, and see the outcome.
In order to receive your words an Earthling would have to be wearing ears.
Is there [OVER RADIO.]
anybody there? Urm, you er, say something, Mr King? How's that? Oh, sorry - I thought you said something, you know, urm--- Not a word, Stu.
I sense someone hears my voice.
WON-DER-FUL! Oh! Be quiet and let me concentrate.
Listen to the power of my voice [OVER RADIO.]
Earthling.
You will hear only my voice.
And you will OBEY.
I will obey? Oh, yeah, right, okay, well, okay.
Ok--- Okay.
I will obey.
[DREAMY MUSIC.]
[EVIL CACKLE.]
I have taken control of an Earthling.
We will use him to help us destroy the Terrahawks! [CACKLE.]
[ALL CACKLING.]
[VIDEO GAME NOISE.]
I don't like the look of this, Dicks Huet.
This time he might do it.
[BLEEP.]
[BLEEP.]
Oui - 'eez scur iz very close now.
[BLEEP.]
Hm.
Let's hope come something goes horribly wrong.
[CHUCKLING.]
If he do do it, we'll never hear the last of it.
[BLEEP.]
[KATE SINGING.]
"I've got the power to rescue you.
" "I've got the power, I'm coming through.
â "I've got the power, it's meant to be.
" "I've got the power.
" - "To set you free.
" - Hee, hee, it makes me want to ooh, to throw my arms in the air! Yes, indeed! [SONG CONTINUES.]
I captured it some time ago.
And can reproduce the sound at any time.
You've captured it? Caught the waves that travel through the ether and held them in the Ferret.
The Earthlings call it "recording".
Re-cord-ing? Ho! You're so clever, Yung-Star.
And now the song is number one.
I have watched it climb the chart.
The pop, top, ten! Ha, ha, ha, ha! [BOTH LAUGH.]
ZELDA: Where are you, devoted ones? [CLUNK.]
Arh! There you are.
Zelda, you should recognise the genius of Yung-Star.
Stored in the Ferret he has--- oh! Nothing of any real interest.
I recognise, perhaps, some minor talent.
But I have news of more import.
Which we are hungry to hear, Mother.
A swarm of meteorites will shortly pass this sector of the galaxy.
I don't understand.
I intend to use these meteorites as a protective shield to travel to Earth.
Can I come too, Zelda? We will all go.
Prepare to launch the mighty Rhino.
[GAME NOISE.]
This time I've got you.
This is the big one.
How do I look? Well? Mary, you look fabulous.
You'll knock 'em out at that party.
[BEEPING.]
Oh, Tiger, I spoilt your game.
Mary, wanna know something? I couldn't care less.
- Don't work too hard.
- Don't bend my aeroplane.
And enjoy Katie's party.
[BLEEP.]
Cor! Saved by the bell.
[BLEEP.]
[BLEEP.]
You could say saved by the bell: ze belle of ze ball! [LAUGHS HEARTILY.]
[BLEEP.]
What? Oh! Got it.
Double meaning.
"Bell" and "belle of the ball".
Oh, ho, hm! Hey, hey - you know, Dicks Huet sometimes, you're not so thick as you look.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
Hm, hm, "bell Of the ball"! [ZERO CONTINUES CHUCKLING.]
"Belle", ze ball--- huh, huh, hur! [TWINKLY MUSIC.]
Stu, are you down there? Some clown has locked the door up here and I can't get out.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Thank you for picking me up, urm, Miss Kestrel.
My pleasure.
It's a pity Chick couldn't make it.
Yah, Mr King asked me to apologise.
He's been unavoidably detained.
You feeling all right, Stu? Never better.
[ENGINE NOISE.]
[ENGINE IGNITION.]
[TAKE-OFF NOISE.]
[ACTION MUSIC.]
Who will be at this party, Miss Kestrel? Just a few friends.
You sure you're all right, Stu? I would prefer to be alone with you.
Stop the car.
[KATE GASPS.]
Is anything amiss, madam? Do as he says, HUDSON - pull over.
[CRUNCHING GRAVEL.]
Tell the driver to walk away and keep walking.
You heard the man, HUDSON.
[DOOR OPENS.]
[DOOR SLAMS SHUT.]
What's this all about? You'll find out, Miss Kestrel.
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
[MARTIAN MUSIC.]
The snivelling pawn under my control has taken a hostage! Victory will soon be ours! [ALL CACKLE.]
[SPACE MUSIC.]
[BLEEPS AND BUZZES.]
[BLEEP.]
Lieutenant, we have a contact.
[BLEEP.]
- Identify.
- [BLEEP.]
A meteorite.
Quite large.
[MARTIAN MUSIC.]
Perfect cover for an alien.
And there's nothing we can do.
[MARTIAN MUSIC.]
[BLEEP.]
Meteorite's now receding.
[BLEEP.]
If there was an intruder hiding out there, it's through.
[LANDING NOISE.]
- What now? - We wait.
Phew, it's hot in here.
I should've worn something lighter.
Maybe a different colour.
Don't even think of trying anything.
[SNEAKY MUSIC.]
[TENSE MUSIC.]
[WHOOSH, BLEEP.]
No sign of Miss Kate.
And it's getting late.
[BLEEP.]
Let's over-fly her route and check it out.
Ten ten.
[ENGINE WHINE.]
Hear my voice, Earthling.
Someone will join you shortly to collect the hostage.
I understand.
Let ME go, Mother.
I would like to walk among the trees.
Yes, your legs are younger than mine.
GO, and bring the Earth scum back to the Rhino.
Thank you, Mother.
Wait.
Take those with you.
[HISSING.]
[EERIE WHINE, ENGINE NOISE OVERHEAD.]
What was that? How would I know? Hawkeye, we've found Kate.
[NINESTEIN OVER COMMS.]
She's in some kind of trouble.
- Get Battlehawk out here.
- Ten ten.
[WHIRR OF HYDRAULICS, URGENT MUSIC.]
[TAKE-OFF NOISE.]
[HYDRAULICS WHIRR.]
We'll be there in seventeen minutes.
Don't land, but drop a couple of Zeroids in the area.
[NINESTEIN ON COMMS.]
I wanna know what's going on down there.
[BLEEP.]
That's us, Dicks Huet.
[BLEEP.]
[BLEEP.]
Oh, no! Not another drop from ze great height.
Now, then, now, then - watch it, lad.
[BLEEP.]
[THREE THUMPS.]
[THUMP.]
You will get out and come with me.
[CLUNK.]
And do not try to escape or my cubic friends will blow you into tiny bits.
[HISSING.]
Someone for space' sake unlock the door and let me outta here.
I'm gonna miss the party.
Ooh! Arh! Oh, Oh! Ooh! Oh.
Ah.
Ooh, it's my feet.
They hurt so much.
It's all this walking.
What is taking so long? Don't answer that.
Move on, move on.
[SPOOKY MUSIC; NOCTURNAL CREATURES CALL.]
[ENGINE WHINE, TERRAHAWKS RIFF.]
- Out you go, Zero.
- [BLEEP.]
Ten ten.
It is a long way down.
[WHOOSH, BLEEP.]
ZERO: SHUT UP! [BLEEP.]
But now ze ground, it come up very FAST--- [CRACK.]
- Ooh, ma fois! - Ooh! [CRUNCH.]
Oof! [ZEROIDS GRUNT.]
Zut alors! [TWIDDLY BLEEP.]
Zere 'as to be some easier way of doing ziss.
[BLEEP.]
KEEP YER VOICE DOWN--- ah, hm.
[SOFTLY.]
Follow me.
[TWIDDLY BLEEP.]
[RUSTLING.]
I can't go on.
Lend me your ears.
Mother, I can walk no further.
Can you come and get me? The Rhino cannot land in the trees! You imbecilic youth.
Get back here, or you will feel the weight of my stick.
OHHHH! [BLEEP.]
There they are.
[WHOOSH.]
Sah.
We've found Miss Kestrel.
She's being held by Yung-Star.
And a couple of cubes.
[BLEEP.]
Stay out of sight, Zero.
[WHOOSH.]
I think I'll try a little bluff.
I'm taking us down.
[HIGH-PITCHED ENGINE WHINE.]
[LANDING NOISE.]
[RUSTLING, BIRDS CHATTERING.]
- Mary, you stay here.
- Take care! Android.
You're surrounded.
- Ninestein.
- Argh.
I have a prisoner, clone.
Show yourself or she dies.
[HISSING.]
Arh! Take out those cubes as soon as you can, Zero.
And let me know when you've done it.
Yes, sah! I'm coming in, android.
I see you are unarmed.
Are you surrendering to me, Doctor? Why should I? I hold all the cards.
You're surrounded.
What are you looking at? Looking at? My ship.
I know what you're thinking.
Thinking? What am I thinking? That you can use my ship over there to escape.
You mean your heavier-than-air machine? Yeah.
But you can't use it.
Because you can't fly it.
But you can, clone.
- Oh! - I have outwitted you! Oh, no.
Oooh! Mother.
I will be flying to join you, with the greatest prize of all.
What is the cretin talking about now? [BLEEP.]
The Doctor's going back to Hawkwing.
Miss Kestrel's still covered by those cubes.
[BLEEP.]
[BLEEP.]
I would lay down my life for such beauty.
I Dix-Huit, I am ready to charge.
[BLEEP.]
No no no.
They'd kill her before we got close.
But one of us needs to get in there fast.
[BLEEP.]
But how do we do ziss? Urn, huh, huh, huh, hum.
Leave it to me, lad.
[BLEEP.]
[ENGINES POWERING UP, BANG.]
[TAKE-OFF NOISE.]
Zelda, there it is again.
My instincts warn me of a trap.
We must leave.
What about Yung-Star? Can he fly? If I had intended him to fly, I would have given him wings! [BLEEP.]
You ready, Dicks Huet? [BLEEP.]
[BLEEP.]
Yes, I'm ready.
Why is it always I who jump? [BLEEP.]
Right, let's have you then, lad.
[BLEEP.]
Here I come.
[TWIDDLY BLEEP.]
Hmp.
[PLAYFUL ACTION MUSIC.]
[BOING.]
Aaaarrrh! Oh! [RUSTLING, BOING.]

[BLEEP, WEAPON FIRE AND IMPACT.]
Ah.
[WEAPON FIRE.]
[EXPLOSION.]
[CRACKLING.]
Nice of you to drop in, Zero.
Well done, Sergeant Major.
[BLEEP.]
Thank you, ma'am.
[BLEEP.]
Tell Dr Ninestein we're free.
[WHOOSH, BLEEP, WHOOSH.]
Ground position secure, sah.
[BLEEP.]
Ten ten, Zero.
- Hey, creep.
- Are you addressing me? Reckon you could fly this? With my mechanical aptitude, there is no doubt in my mind.
In that case, have a good fright.
[WHINE OF DESCENT.]
Great mounds of dust! He meant it.
He-elp! Oooh! HELP! HELP! ARRUGH! There's a tree! [RUSTLING.]
[WHINE OF CRAFT PLUMMETING.]
I'm downside up, Mother.
Oww! I daren't look.
[ENGINE STRAINING.]
[FIZZING.]
HE-ELP! [CRACKLING, BUZZING.]
HE-ELP! Mother, for pity's sake get me out of here! [ENGINES SCREAMING.]
ARRGHH! MOTHER! [FEEBLE COUGHING.]
You stupid boy.
But, Mother - I'm ninety-nine next birthday.
Yes.
Well, I'll be glad when you've grown up.
Perhaps by then you'll have acquired some sense.
