Oh, dear.
This is an unexpected bonus.
I think I shall call you basil's
retirement plan.
Wait.
What are you doing?
No!
Ship?
Ship, ship.
What's a matter, ship?
Ship, ship, ship!
Baz-el?
What about him?
Ship, ship, ship, ship.
Ship, ship, ship.
He's in trouble?
You're going to help him?
Wait!
Oh, ship.
Told you it was the
forever knights.
I don't see how these
things fit into the whole
king Arthur theme.
Maybe they're supposed
to be horses.
Anyway, I thought they broke
up last year.
I don't think so.
We'll ask them about it
after we kick their cans.
Humongousaur!
I know.
I'm nimble for a big guy.
I never liked the rodeo anyway.
Ben?
Uh...Julie.
How did you find us?
How do you think?
I'm a little
surprised to see you,
considering.
Considering what?
Considering
the fact that you broke up with
me.
I didn't break...
it's not that simple.
You said we
shouldn't see each other.
Sounds simple to me.
I said, "considering
how little time you have for me
lately, we might as well be
"broken up."
That is not my
fault.
Look, I didn't want to
ask you for help, but I don't
have a choice.
Help with what?
I was playing with
ship, and then he got a signal
from baz-el, and then he took
off like a rocket.
So you're just here
about ship.
I'm worried about him.
Well, I wouldn't.
He's gone away before.
He'll be back.
Ben, you're not
listening.
This time is different.
Sure.
Well...Good luck.
Forget about Ben.
We'll help you.
Thank you.
Smooth move, Romeo.
You sure showed her.
Showed her what?
You don't know,
either, huh?
So, I let her go.
I guess I shouldn't have.
But I still had forever knights
to trash.
And after that, there's always
the press.
But, you know, they're
ditchable.
Kind of.
You don't have to do their
interviews, but they'll still
trash you on their stupid cable
shows.
I guess there's no way to escape
the things that really matter.
Like Julie.
She says I don't spend enough
time with her, that I take her
for granted, but I can't just
drop everything whenever I want.
I have responsibilities.
I'm a famous superhero!
I see.
Peanuts?
No.
You sure?
Yes.
Are you and Julie ever gonna
be friends again?
She won't even talk to
me!
But do you want to talk to
her?
Yes.
Then maybe you should go talk
to her.
Jetray!
Oh, yeah.
That was Ben Tennyson.
Him and me, we're like this.
Way back.
I'm gonna have to
jump to hyperspace to catch
them.
I can do that...ln theory.
I appreciate this.
Don't worry about it.
We're glad to help.
Besides, we are all up
to here with Ben.
I mean, if he says, "I saved the
whole entire universe," one more
time, I'm gonna go psycho.
Again?
It's just an
expression.
And yet I still feel
the need to check.
Maybe he doesn't know
how he comes off to other
people.
Oh, he knows.
He just doesn't care.
Don't make excuses for
him, Julie.
You stuck by him, and he didn't
do the same for you.
Aaaaaaah!
That was set to immobilize.
Now it's set to disintegrate.
Use your powers at your own
peril.
Yes, well, perhaps you could
loosen it a bit?
I'm warning you... if I lose my
lunch, it'll be your fault.
Don't toy with me!
Tell me... where's the other
occulent?
The what?
The sacred eye of the
sentinel!
I don't know, you myopic moon
cub!
Look, I told you I thought this
was just an old ruin!
This is our most revered
place of worship.
Yes, well, you don't take
from the looks of it, I assumed
you were all extinct.
Ship!
Ship? Here?
You're in a great deal of
trouble, you know.
Are we?
Shi-I-I-I-p!
Shi-I-I-p.
Shi-I-I-p.
Ship!
Shi-I-I-p...
Is he going to...
Shh! I have to
concentrate.
My magic doesn't work well on
technology.
What are you doing?
Oh. Eating.
So I heard.
Mmm.
It's a fleen cake.
Want some?
What's a fleen cake?
Just the most
delicious desert in the whole
galaxy.
You wouldn't believe how much
they cost.
And I just scored six of them
last week.
Scored?
Not like that.
A guy owed me for a thing.
A legal thing.
I'm not hungry.
I'm too worried about...
sh-I-I-I-I-p?
Gwen, you did it!
Or he smelled the
cake.
Oh, ship, I thought
you were...
You're okay now.
And we can go back to earth
and...
ship, ship.
Ship, ship, ship, ship.
What now?
He doesn't want to go
back with us.
Why?
Ship, ship, ship.
He says baz-el's been
captured.
He wants to rescue him.
In spite of the fact
that baz-el's a total weasel?
Ship, ship!
Ship, ship, ship!
He says, "yeah, in
spite of that."
Already found ship, huh?
Obviously.
Great.
So I guess we can go home now?
No!
Ship.
We're going to help
baz-el.
But he'a total weasel!
We've already gone over
that.
A little help here.
It's not my fault you
missed the recap.
Ship's something, isn...
whoa!
That's better.
I mean, coming all this way to
save baz-el, you have to admire
that kind of loyalty.
Don't you?
I guess.
Only, I didn't think ship would
care more about baz-el than me.
This is ridiculous.
I flew halfway across the galaxy
so Julie could tell me to buzz
off again?
I don't deserve this.
I'm a world-famous hero!
You're a world-famous
jerk!
That's better.
And if you weren't such a jerk,
maybe she wouldn't have dumped
you in the first place.
Oh. And now you're the
expert on feelings?
No, but I am an expert
on jerks.
You know, I don't have to take
that from... hunh! Unh!
Show me where you've hidden
the occulent.
I've already told you a dozen
times... I can't show you what I
don't have.
Infidel!
Uncalled for!
Uncalled for!
Ship!
Ship, ship, ship!
I know, ship.
We're going to help him.
Guys, we're trying to be
sneaky.
Can you hold it...
Never mind.
Ship?
Let go of me, you...
you...
ahh, a little one.
If baz-el won't tell me the
whereabouts of the occulent to
save himself, perhaps he'll do
it to save you.
Ship, ship, ship!
Perhaps he won't.
But I wager you will to save the
lives of your friends!
Ship...
I grow impatient.
Talk!
Ship. Ship.
You're not convinced.
Very well.
Eradicate the female.
Ship!
Good boy.
Behind you, Julie!
Need any help?
Okay, then.
So, you...Keep doing...That, and
I'll go...Uh...Help baz-el!
Relax.
This won't take long.
Brainstorm!
I strongly you suggest you keep
unnecessary motion to a bare
minimum whilst I endeavor to
extricate you from this vile
contrivance.
These requires even more brain
power than I anticipated.
Fortunately, there is no
shortage of electroencephalic
energy where brainstorm is
concerned.
Oh, just get on with it!
Stop, you imbecile!
Imbecile?
I dare say that I have greater
intellectual capacity in my
left claw than you have in your
entire species.
I won't warn you again!
Now, where was I?
Ah, zes.
On the verge of succeeding
brilliantly.
All done.
Blasphemer!
Don't you realize that, by
destroying the altar, you've
awakened the sentinels?!
I've who'd the what now?
Oh, man.
Swampfire!
Ultimate
swampfire!
Oh, that's cool!
Well, I don't like the looks
of this one bit.
What is
your problem?
I...Have a very delicate
stomach, which does not respond
well to stress or impending
doom.
Oh, dear.
Wait.
It doesn't want us.
Put that...
I beg your pa...
unh!
It wants that.
Here, take it.
Uh,
Julie, hello?
Dangerous!
Ship.
You had it on you this
whole time?
More like in you.
Look, do you know what I do
for a living, hmm?
Do you?
I fly from one pathetic planet
to another, taking atmospheric
readings.
Oh, look!
There's a lot of nitrogen here.
And a trace of argon... my
favorite!
And that's on a good day!
The hours are long, the work is
tedious beyond belief, and by
the way, it pays a miserably low
salary.
Ergo, when I can, I collect a
few...Souvenirs for profit.
I call it my retirement plan.
So sh**t me.
Okay.
Kevin!
I might have been
kidding.
Oh, great sentinels of
monarch, once again, you have
triumphed over your enemies!
We, your servants, give thanks
for...
do you mind?
We're trying to have a
conversation here.
This is a temple!
Sorry, sorry.
I guess there's only
one thing left.
Ship?
Julie, what are you
doing?
Don't you get it?
Ship came here to save baz-el,
no matter what.
Ship's a part of him.
But he's your pet.
More than that, he's
your friend.
Sometimes friendships
end.
And maybe that's the way it's
supposed to be.
Julie, I'm trying to
help you here.
You've already helped
plenty.
Ship?
Well, then, everybody's
happy.
Benjamin Kirby
Tennyson.
We get to go home, and
you get to sell ship to the
highest bidder.
That is your plan, isn't it?
Of course.
Any species that's at w*r would
pay a fortune for him.
But he's just a...
Deadly space w*apon?
That's right.
And you're the one who trained
him.
"Look! He's a Cannon!"
Oh, now he's a battle cruiser!
"Good boy, ship!"
What'll it be, ship?
Go with baz-el so he can make a
few bucks selling you, or stay
with Julie, who really cares
ab...
Julie!
Hmm. Rather stacked the deck
there, didn't you?
Fine. I'm leaving before all of
this pathetic cloying affection
gives me another stomachache.
Unh.
So, uh...Can we talk?
Actually, I'm kind of
talked out.
Hey, I know I'm a jerk
sometimes.
Sometimes?
I got this.
But you're the only person in my
life, besides them, who isn't
impressed by all that other
stuff.
You know the real me, faults and
all, and that's okay with you.
Kind of.
Kind of.
You promise you'll do better?
I promise I'll try.
Then I'll try, too.
