Mindful of the Space Pollution Act, JMC policy dictates the ship should dispose of itself by flying straight into the nearest sun.

What?!

Kryten

What about us?

Never mind “us”, what about ME?

Kryten

According to the note, he's gone back to 23AD so he can "trash his reputation so this Christianity thingth never taketh off-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffffth"

What? No Christianity? What about Christmas? We've killed Wallace and Gromit!

Kryten

You’re up late, sir.

Been hunting. Trying to swat this damned space weevil. Little sucker keeps outsmarting me.

Kryten

Well they do have an IQ of two, sir.

Kryten

(Discussing the Erroneous Reasoning Research Academy) The staff were handpicked for their ability to be mistaken; for their gifts in fallacious analysis and defective reasoning.

(To Rimmer) You could've excelled here.

Kryten

They were all outstandingly good at being consistently incorrect. There were a lot of referees, TV critics, weathermen, who were then re-educated in the sciences, to develop extraordinary new, erroneous theories, that would combine together to produce works of great genius.

Did it work?

Kryten

No. The whole idea turned out to be wrong. The man behind the idea was so depressed he attempted suicide. Naturally he failed, and he went on to live into his nineties

So, let me get this right. We’re being attacked by something but we don’t know what, and there’s no way of finding out what’s out there?

Kryten

I have a suggestion, sirs.

What?

Kryten

How about we look out of the window?

I'd hardly call yelling "Mummy, mummy," dignified.

Lister, I didn't yell "mummy, mummy".

No you didn't have time, you just yelled "Mu...".

Kryten

Please sirs, this is very bad for morale. I can't believe you're arguing about who's going to have the best death!

Kryten

Perhaps that person we saw is a different version of Mr. Rimmer from an alternative dimension.

So if he dies, not the end of the world.

Kryten

Or perhaps he's a clone of Mr. Rimmer produced somehow from his DNA.

Again, if he dies, not the end of the world.

Kryten

Or perhaps that man is you, sir, a you seized from the future and taken back into the past.

Again, if he dies, not the end of the world!

Sparks suddenly fly within the cockpit as the alarm begins to ring.

What the smeg was that?

Kryten

Its the EM boosters. Of course! Butler, the damn fool, he didn't realize that unlike the Nova-3, all our boards have universal linkage!

Meaning?

Kryten

The engines are gonna burnout, sir! He'll look utterly stupid!

So does that mean we'll gonna crash?

Kryten

How stupid is he gonna look then!

Yeah, but say we die!

Kryten

Even better!

Is there no way we can land and repair?

Kryten

Well, we could. But why should we help Butler out?

Kryten!

Kryten

Oh, my jealousy chip's overloading, sir! Return to sane mode! [Computer sounds emit from Kryten] Of course we should land!

[After Cat has hidden his Polymorph children from the rest of the crew]

Well we have to narrow down the search somehow.

Got an idea! Turn off all the heat in the ship apart from in the diesel decks, so it'll drive him down there!

And then what?

Kryten

Track them down undetected!

They are Polymorphs! They feed off emotions, they will sense us!

Not if one of us has got no emotions, as they've had them all removed!

[Confused] Eh?

Listy, if you have a personality tuck to remove all your emotions, we'll sorted!

That stupid tuck machine, why me?

Kryten is the only one who knows how to operate it, so it can't be him. [Kryten nods in agreement] It can't be me, obviously. That leaves you!

Why can't it be you?

Don't interrupt.

Moonbase coming up on our starboard side, what is this place Krytes?

Kryten

Mmh, according to the ident, it's a United America scientific research station.

United America? Who's that?

Kryten

Well, at the end of the 23rd century, America attempted to bring peace to the world by asking every nation on Earth to sign a peace treaty. Any nation that refused, they invaded. Now, a war ensued that was called, 'The War Against War'! Those countries that went to war, because they were so against war that they were prepared to go to war to fight in a war against war, called themselves, United America!

This evil cure Kryten, any idea on who they tested it on?

You think there might be wall-to-wall crazies in here? Running around rioting, screaming, and stabbing people?

You make it sound like my old school!

I want all the bazookoids, safetys off, ready to fire.

Kryten

All the bazookoids are back on Red Dwarf, sir.

[Sighing] Have we got any guns with us?

Kryten

Just your staple gun, sir.

Dramatic zoom in on Rimmer.

Fill her up!

[On television monitor] Hey, bud! It's me! How you doing with that shirt?

Kryten

Coming right up, sir.

[On television monitor] My ass is freezing here! I got six nipples you can hang mugs on!

Kryten

I'm seconds away, sir.

The television monitor turns off and quickly back on showing Rimmer in a corridor.

[On television monitor] Kryten, I'm on B-deck, and it doesn't appear to have been mopped in at least two days. I can hardly see my face in it!

Kryten

[Whispering to himself] A blessing, some would say. [Now speaking directly] I'm on it right now, sir.

The television monitor turns off and quickly back on showing Lister lying on a couch.

[On television monitor] Kryten, when you get a chance, could you grab us a beer?

Camera reveals Kryten and Lister in the same room.

Kryten

Sir, I'm rather busy right now! Could you possibly get it yourself?

Fine.

Lister leans over and takes out a beer from the mini-fridge right next to him.

The black-clad mechanoids take Lister, Rimmer, and Cat away.

WWind

[Speaking to Kryten] Not you, my friend.

Kryten

My crewmates, where are you taking them?

WWind

To face justice. We are the Mechanoid Intergalactic Liberation Front.

Kryten

[Bewildered] MILFs?

The MILFs are preparing to inaugurate Kryten as an official member of their alliance.

Kryten

I pledge my allegiance to the Mechanoid Intergalactic Liberation Front!

Kryten is given a black beret by Wind.

WWind

From this day forth, you shall be known as -

Kryten Lister runs in.

KLKryten Lister

Kryten! What are you doing?!

Kryten

Well, I'm becoming free, sir. I mean, I'm becoming free of you over there! I see now that you never cared for me. I was merely used to do your bidding! Well, no more! As I'm no longer your slave bot!

KLKryten Lister

Kryten, don't you see? You've been brainwashed. You were never a slave bot!

Kryten

Then what was I?

KLKryten Lister

Lots of things! You were our science officer, our cook, my mum, and most of all, my friend. And you were all those things because you chose to be, Kryten. Not 'cause we made you. Kryten, you're no MILF! You're one of the boys from the Dwarf! [Kryten Lister does the Boys from the Dwarf gang signal, but with only one hand due to the other being cut off earlier]

Several other MILFs led by Areto, including Kryten Rimmer and Kryten Cat now completely brainwashed, march into the room.

AAreto

There he is! Seize him!

KLKryten Lister

They keep mech slaves in the engine room! They power the ship. They're hypocrites!

Kryten turns to Wind with a shocked expression.

WWind

Someone has to do the grunt work! Surely you're not suggesting Mk. 3s should do it.

KLKryten Lister

Mk. 3s! Mk. 2s! You're all the same!

WWind

We're 7.6 millimetres thinner. 10 grams lighter. Plus we come in this really cool matte finish.

AMAll MILF soldiers

So cool!

A political advertisement suddenly starts on the monitor.

[On the television] This infomercial comes to you on behalf of the Independent Future Party.

PAPolitical Ad Narrator

Arnold Rimmer, a man who wiped out the crew of Red Dwarf and killed himself, twice! Are you really going to put your life in this maniac's hands?

[On the television] Arnold Rimmer. Not fit. Not trusted. A no-good, double-dealing, cheating, slimy little smegger!

On the television, Kryten runs up next to Lister.

Kryten

That's enough, sir.

I got more, Kryten.

Kryten

[To the camera] I'm Kryten 2X4B 523P, and I approve this message!

I've got more!

Lister realizes the ad is over and smiles at the camera next to Kryten.
