“Giga Shadow” quotes from Lexx

[to Zev] ... biomass of beauty...

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!

His Divine Shadow

The Giga Shadow is the end, and it is the beginning. First will come the Cleansing, which will feed the Rebirth. The Giga Shadow is the new life beyond order. A time of pain and rejoicing. Our destiny.

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

Stan

Lexx, when you eat, can you separate out the yummy stuff from the nasty indigestible bits?

Lexx

Yes, Stanley the Perfect, the mighty and terrible champion of the oppressed.

Stan

And - unjustly maligned majestical being!

Lexx

And unjustly maligned majestical being.

Stan

Cool...!

So far so weird.

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.

What fresh hell is this?

His Divine Shadow

You cannot stop me now.

Yes you can. He's vulnerable.

Kai

Where are you?

I'm inside the Giga Shadow. You're inside the Giga Shadow. Find me. Please, find the brain!

His Divine Shadow

You're too late Kai, much too late.

Kai

We shall see. [at Squish] What's your favourite food?

[hisses]

Please find the brain!

His Divine Shadow

I am the GigaShadow, and you, Kai, are nothing but a microbe inside me, infecting my system.

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?
