triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Texto


Jay: Doesn't anyone ever get any sleep around here?

Zed: The twins keep us on Centaurian time. It's a 37-hour day. Give it a few months, you'll get used to it. Or have a psychotic episode.

Zed: Here's Orion. It's a grouping of the brightest stars in the northern sky. And here's Orion's belt.

Jay: Right. That's what the little guy said. "To prevent war, the galaxy is on Orion's belt."

Zed: Junior, there are no galaxies on Orion's belt. The belt is just these three stars. Galaxies are huge. They're made up of billions of stars. You heard wrong.

Jay: Look, whatever, man. I know what I heard.

Zed: Take a look at this. My God, they're all leaving. We've had 12 jumps in the last hour. Redgick was just the first.

Jay: What do they know that we don't?

Kay: Why does a rat desert a ship? Give me Lem Sat 4 with a proton induction thermoscan, please. Thank you. Okay. Lem Sat 18. All right, 4,000. That's an Arquillian battle cruiser.

Zed: And we've got a dead Arquillian prince.

Kay: And speak of the devil.

Jay: They sound pissed.

Zed: Boys, translate that. Step on it. Go to Rosenberg's jewelry store and see what you can turn up.

Zed: Kay! Give the kid a weapon.

Kay: Series 4 de-atomizer.

Jay: That's what I'm talking about.

Kay: Noisy cricket.

Jay: Hey Kay, no, no, come on, man. You get a Series 4 de-atomizer, I get a little midget cricket? I feel like I'm going to break this damn thing.

Jay: That's the worse disguise ever. That guy is definitely an alien.

Frank: If you don't like it, you can kiss my furry little butt.

Kay: You busy, Frank?

Frank: Sorry Kay. I can't talk right now. My flight's leaving in-- Get your paws off me!

Kay: Call the pound. We've got a stray.

Jay: The dog owes my friend money.

Kay: Arquillians and bugs, Frank, what do you know?

Frank: I know nothing.

Kay: Not a thing?

Frank: Stop it. Stop it. Okay. Okay.

Frank: Rosenberg wasn't some two-bit Arquillian. He was the guardian of a whole galaxy. They thought he'd be safe here on Earth.

Kay: Rosenberg said something about a galaxy on Orion's belt. What’s he talking about, Frank?

Frank: Beats me.

Kay: Beats you?

Frank: The galaxy is here!

Kay: What do you mean "here"?

Jay: A galaxy is hundreds of millions of stars and planets. How's it here?

Frank: You humans! When will you learn size doesn't matter? Just because something's important, doesn't mean it's not very very small.

Kay: How small?

Frank: Tiny! Like the size of a marble or a jewel. Now if you'll excuse me, I have got to be walked before my flight.

Kay: All right. Get out of here.

Kay: If the galaxy's here, it's not on Orion's belt.

Jay: Kay…

Waever: Boy, when you want attention. Orion? That's a pretty name. What's this? Wow.
