Zev quotes from Lexx

Everybody always leaves me.

Last of the Brunnen-G: if you were alive... [sighs] Last of the Brunnen-G: if you were alive, I'd want you to be the first man... I... I used to want to die. But now, I want to live. I think that's because after meeting you, I realised that people aren't always that bad.

I'm making eye water again - it happens when I feel this way.

So far so weird.

I had a good life with you guys. I did all right for a girl who grew up in a box.

Stan

What are you doing?

I don't exactly know. Coming?

We are going to bring you life, I promise.

Kai

And if not, the rest of my protoblood will be spend it with you.

Kai...

Kai

It's what I want.

Stan

is he dead?

He has been dead for two thousand years.

Stan

No, not alive dead, I mean dead dead.

Don't you want to live?

Kai

I'm an animated corpse, a mockery of life. I do not have wants.

Doesn't the prophecy motivate you?

Kai

Though I am an integral part of it, the prophecy will be, or not be, as it is in the cycle of time. In any event, I do not experience motivation.

Kai, I want you to live, to really live!

Kai

I suggest you consider modifying your want.

Kai

:[enters, holding a newborn cluster lizard] Do you want to hold it?

Stan

Yeah, on the end of my fork!

Kai

He's a baby - an innocent. The egg must have been laid before we escaped from the Light Universe.

Stan

Yeah, well, that's very nice, but I think we should act sensible here and dispose of it.

Kai

Don't you like it, Zev?

No!

Kai

I'm surprised. You are part cluster lizard yourself. I was hoping you would help me think of a name.

If it comes near me, I'll name it.

Kai

What? [steps closer and points it at her]

Squish! Which is exactly what I'll do to it!

Stan

It thinks you're its mother!

Kai, it's over. The prophecy is fulfilled. The last of the Brunnen-G has destroyed the Divine Order. How does it feel?

Kai

It feels.. it feels... I have no feeling for it.

Is this the mortuary?

Kai

My home, for 2000 years. These drawers contained myself and thousands of other assassins like me, all kept in a state of living death by protoblood. [all drawers look empty] Looks like all my undead comrades have taken a walk.

Unfortunately there is no habitable planet, asteroid, moon or space station within the range of this vessel. There is absolutely nowhere for us to go. Zev, darling?

Yes?

Our oxygen will be gone and you'll be dead in 11 hours and 7 minutes, but my power pack will keep me going for 309 years, so I will use that time to recite an epic poem about you. Shall I begin?
