The Tribe · Season 1
[Ellie is working on Jack’s computer]
How did you learn all this on a farm?
I used to go to school, you know? Before the Virus hit. I got an A in computer studies.
No kidding!
Why does that surprise you? Because I’m a girl?
Hum, no!
I didn’t suspect you as an MCP, Jack, like Lex.
MCP??
Male chauvinist pig.
I’m not a ..
No??
No! I guess I just don’t know .. any girls.
Well, maybe I’ll have to teach you!
It’s a camera!
Yeah, and if you try to take my picture I’ll break it over your head!
[working at the farm] Come to the country, he said! Fresh air, blue skies, birds singing, he said! Get up in the middle of the night, he said! Come and breathe that sweet, clean, country air!
Ryan, you’ve been complaining ever since we got here. I never thought you were a city boy.
Yeah! And I suddenly understand how Alice was able to leave!
Well I still don’t.
What do you mean?
She loves it here. Why would she wanna live in the City? All this Tai-San’s stuff, don’t you think it’s a little weird?
Tai-San’s weird, full stop! She spooks me sometimes.
Alice just seems like a big honey to me.
Tai-San is from the moon. Alice will be drawn back. The rhythms of the earth will call her. [she leaves]
Now, that chick is really weird!
Yeah! Moon, earth? What is she, some kind of witch or something?
Could be. Better be careful what you say around her, Ryan.
[wakes Bray up with coffee] Coffee?
Coffee in bed?
Not my idea! Ebony’s. She says leaders should have special privileges. And guess who’s being picked to be the waitress? Patsy do this! Patsy do that! Enjoy! Oh, if you need me, ask for the slave. I’m the one taking orders from everyone. [as she leaves] I need a real job!
A little cuddle with Alice isn’t worth power ever after?
Yeah. But, if I live!
[Brady has just been kidnapped while Patsy was babysitting her]
Trudy. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Trudy?
[crying] I left my baby in your care! Where were you?
[starts crying] I was right there.
You weren’t! You weren’t. You weren’t.
Trudy, please! I don’t know what to do!
I don’t care what you do! Just get out of my sight! I hate you!!! [Patsy leaves, crying] I don’t want you to ever be anywhere near me again!!
[talking to Alice about the explosion in Tai-San’s lab] You’ve got it wrong! I’m innocent! I always get blamed for everything!
Do you ever wonder what your parents would think if they could see us now?
I’m sure yours would be proud of you.
You know something? I don’t deserve you.
That’s crazy!
No, it’s outside that’s crazy. It’s all around us so much, it doesn’t seem right that we’re so safe in here, with each other! But I’m glad we are.
[Tai-San is regaining consciousness] Tai-San?
[to Alice] You have a lovely smile. [to Ellie] And you. [to Danni] And you. But who are you?
Lex! [sits with him at the table] So are you still interested in those game boys?
What’s it to you?
Well, I need some batteries and you always seem to have a stash.
Are you trading?
Don’t worry! It’ll all be worthwhile. I mean, I might even throw a little extra in.
[pause] You really want those batteries, don’t you?
Well, yeah, batteries … and advice.
On what?
Women.
[laughs]
Don’t look at me like that because … because this is difficult enough as it is!
Well, what do you wanna know?
How …? I wish they were like computers!
You mean, came with an off switch?
Yeah! I mean I don’t understand!
What??
Well, how do you know, if a girl likes you or not?
I don’t know.
You must!
Well I have to admit, it happens to me all the time.
Okay, so, you automatically expect a girl to be attracted to you?
I couldn’t have put it better myself!
Okay! So if I think this girl likes me, not that there’s any particular girl, then, she will … like me?
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]
I’m your friend.
Even after what I did?
You couldn’t help it.
Trudy hates me.
She doesn’t really. She’s just upset that’s all.
If they don’t find Brady, she’ll never forgive. I’ll never forgive myself.
Brady’s gonna be alright. She’s a Mall Rat and Mall Rats always make it. Especially Brady, she was born here.
So what?
She’s special, our mascot, sort of a lucky charm. No one can hurt her.
Do you really believe in that?
Kind of. I’m trying to cheer you up.
Thanks.
[about Bray] He might find someone. One day. I mean, he still really seems to miss Amber.
No one could ever replace Amber, Danni. Even if they tried.
Are you alright?
Yeah.
You seem like the sky is about to fall on your head.
I think it already has.
[enters] So this is where you’re hiding?
I’m not hiding!
Well, I should hope not. We’ve got to find out more about the comet.
I’ll be with you in one minute.
[as she leaves] One, two …
You’re not down about her, are you?
How do you know? No. No, don’t be ridiculous. I wouldn’t let a girl affect me.
Well, they can have an effect.
You and Salene are having problems?
I don’t know about Salene, but yeah.
Is there anything I can help you with? I mean, not that I’m an expert on that field, of course.
I’ll deal with it myself. Thanks anyway.
[Dal wants to stay at the farm overnight]
Won’t you be scared?
What’s there to be scared of? I’m a Mall Rat. We’re a protected species.
Sometimes I get the feeling that, no matter what I do, you’ll never change your opinion of me.
You know, never is a long time, Ebony.
Yeah, I hope it’s not that long.
