Star Navigator First Class Grig
at your service, sir!
:32:06
Hi. I'm Alex Rogan. I was playing this game
back home, and this guy came up to me.
:32:11
Only he's not a guy.
He's an alien, right?
:32:13
And I get into his car.
Only it's not a car. It's a spaceship.
:32:15
And, uh--
There's been a big mistake.
:32:19
Am I to understand you're actually declining
the honor of becoming a Starfighter?
:32:23
- You got it.
- Extraordinary!
:32:26
For eons, all creatures have
dreamt of being Starfighters.
:32:31
- Where you from?
- Earth.
:32:33
And we're not at war with anybody
except each other.
:32:36
Earth? Earth isn't a formal member
of the Star League...
:32:39
and isn't due to be approached
until it matures.
:32:42
This is all highly irregular.
:32:44
Tell me.
Who recruited you?
:32:47
Centauri.
:32:49
- There he is. That's him!
- Centauri. I might have known.
:32:53
~ Di-aye-diliddle-di-di
Dum, dum, diliddli-- ~
:32:56
Up to your old Excalibur tricks
again, eh, Centauri?
:33:00
Did it ever occur to you
that it is against the law...
:33:03
to recruit from worlds
outside the Star League?
:33:05
Earth's in danger too, isn't it? And,
no, I didn't use the Excalibur test.
:33:10
It was called a video game.
What's all the brouhaha?
:33:13
After all, he does have the gift!
:33:15
This may come as bit of a shock to you,
but he doesn't want to be a Starfighter.
:33:20
Doesn't want to be a--
Are you a coward?
:33:24
- Are you crazy?
- You didn't tell me about any of this!
:33:26
Return the money, Centauri!
:33:29
Return the money?
Are you delirious?
:33:32
You know how long it took to invent
the games, to merchandise them...
:33:35
to get 'em into the stores by Christmas?
:33:39
It must be terribly embarrassing
for you, and I do sympathize. However--
:33:42
But I saw him fight! He could be
the greatest Starfighter ever!
:33:46
- That was a game, Centauri.
- A game?
:33:49
You may have thought it was a game,
but it was also a test.
:33:53
Aha! A test! Sent out across
the universe to find those...
:33:56
with the gift to be Starfighters.
:33:59
And here you are, my boy.
Here you are!
