Lex quotes from The Tribe

Bray

Lex. You go with Tai-San.

Ebony

Why can’t I go with Lex. I think we’d make a good team.

Bray

Lex?

Lex

Whatever. [he leaves with Ebony]

Tai-San

Taking a risk?

Bray

She’ll be safe enough with Lex. Won’t she? [pause] You’re right. You go with them.

Ebony

Control the antidote and we control the City. Maybe even the world. You and me.

Lex

I’d rather take a bath with a shark!

Lex

[takes the last dose of antidote from Bray] Where did you get this? And why didn’t you tell me?

Bray

We had to keep it for Jack to analyse.

Lex

You mean you had this all along?

Bray

Yeah, but…

Lex

You had this and you were gonna let me die?

Bray

If Jack can find out what’s in it …

Lex

I don’t believe this. I know you hated my guts.

Bray

It’s not like that!!

Lex

This ..

Bray

That’s our last chance of saving everybody and that’s all we’ve got!

Lex

.. is all I need.

Bray

Lex. DON’T! [Lex drinks the antidote] You selfish idiot!

Bray

Once we’re out of the City, I don’t wanna set eyes on you again.

Lex

Jee! Thanks Bray. I love you too!

Dal

[Tai-San has found the formula for the antidote] Can you imagine what the Demon Dogs would do to get that formula?

Salene

But what’s to stop the Demon Dogs from thinking we all know what the formula is?

Tai-San

We make it known that no one else knows. Except me.

Bray

But that makes you a target.

Lex

And it makes – us – her bodyguards. Nice one, Tai-San! Free of chores for life, heh?

Alice has decided to be Tai-San’s bodyguard.

Ebony

We’ve already got guards.

And look what a great job they did. Our future depends on this girl and you let her be snatched from under your noses!

Lex

We’re not gonna let it happen again.

Alice

It’s right it won’t happen again, because I’ll be guarding her.

Ebony

Look, Alice. We really appreciate the offer, but …

Tai-San

I think it’s a great idea. Alice, you’re hired!

Alice

Get the cart, Lex. I’m guarding the lady.

KC

It’s a camera!

Lex

Yeah, and if you try to take my picture I’ll break it over your head!

KC

A little cuddle with Alice isn’t worth power ever after?

Lex

Yeah. But, if I live!

Jack

Lex! [sits with him at the table] So are you still interested in those game boys?

Lex

What’s it to you?

Jack

Well, I need some batteries and you always seem to have a stash.

Lex

Are you trading?

Jack

Don’t worry! It’ll all be worthwhile. I mean, I might even throw a little extra in.

Lex

[pause] You really want those batteries, don’t you?

Jack

Well, yeah, batteries … and advice.

Lex

On what?

Jack

Women.

Lex

[laughs]

Jack

Don’t look at me like that because … because this is difficult enough as it is!

Lex

Well, what do you wanna know?

Jack

How …? I wish they were like computers!

Lex

You mean, came with an off switch?

Jack

Yeah! I mean I don’t understand!

Lex

What??

Jack

Well, how do you know, if a girl likes you or not?

Lex

I don’t know.

Jack

You must!

Lex

Well I have to admit, it happens to me all the time.

Jack

Okay, so, you automatically expect a girl to be attracted to you?

Lex

I couldn’t have put it better myself!

Jack

Okay! So if I think this girl likes me, not that there’s any particular girl, then, she will … like me?

Lex

No. No, because you look the way you do and I look the way I do. And that’s the difference between a lover and a nerd! [he leaves]

KC

Fishing!

Lex

Not bad. Got any bait?

KC

What?

Lex

You need bait if you’re gonna catch fish.

KC

Oh, right. Where do I get that?

Lex

You dig it up, doofus. Worms and grubs and stuff.

KC

Right. Worms.

Lex

Look. You get some worms and I’ll come with you. Show you how it’s done.

KC

You will? Wicked, man. [starts to leave]

Lex

Hey, KC.

KC

Yeah?

Lex

No going out on your own.

KC

But, how am I supposed to ..?

Lex

That’s your problem.

Lex

Hey girls! You wanna make some breakfast for your uncle Lex?

Patsy

Why don’t you make ours?

Lex

Because men don’t make breakfast for women.

Cloe

Ryan does for Salene.

Lex

Is that so?

Patsy

Yeah, he was in just now. He took Salene’s breakfast on a trail.

Cloe

With a flower on it.

Lex

He’s just grateful, poor mud.

Cloe

What for?

Lex

Well, you know, Ryan’s never ..

Cloe

Never what?

Lex

[Ryan comes in] Never mind!

Lex

[to Danni] Hail to the leader!

I’m not in the mood Lex!

Lex

Oh, what’s wrong? Stuck on your Bill of Rights? I could help.

Yeah, I can imagine!

Lex

Straight up! I believe in rules and all that. I’d be good at it.

I can see it now. A Chart for the thieves, liars and con men.

Lex

[to Jack] Problem, Einstein?

Jack

Yeah. Have you seen a videotape? It’s missing from my room.

Lex

[shouts] Why does everybody think I’m a thief??

Lex

Listen, Danni, Bray! Normally I would be overjoyed to discuss something like this with you in the middle of the night, but ...

Bray

It's not the middle of the night, Lex, it's the beginning of the day and you need to get to work like the rest of us.

Lex

Nag, nag, nag!

Lex

Come on Ebony, I was brilliant. I had that audience in the palm of my hand.

Ebony

I thought it was a team effort?

Lex

Yeah, you and Bray were only the puppets. I had to drive the show and show them how the Supreme Mother was just a fantasy created by that freak, The Guardian.

Ebony

Just Lex the invincible!

Lex

Yeah! I reckon I should have been an actor. Or a rock star!

Ebony

Maybe you should just stick to being a rock! Or something that lives underneath it.
