Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets

The Alpha intergalactic space station

has reached critical mass in orbit.

Its weight and size now pose

a serious threat to Mother Earth.

In its great wisdom, the Central Committee

has decided to use all resources necessary

to release this space station from the Earth's gravity.

Its new course is set for the Magellan Current.

Like the great explorer Magellan,

the Alpha Station will journey into the unknown.

A symbol of our values and knowledge.

It will carry a message of peace and unity

to the farthest reaches of the universe.

Our thoughts and prayers go with you.

Godspeed and good luck.

Ah...

Let us give back to nature,

that which she gave to us.

Give this pearl

to my daughter, Princess Lïho.

Dad?!

It's broken!

Lïho!

Lïho!

Lïho!

Lïho!

- You okay? - Yeah. Just a...

bad dream.

No.

- Hey! - But I feel better now.

Don't you think we should run through our assignment?

That's the last thing I feel like doing.

Not very professional, Major.

Look, I scored a perfect 200 on my last memory test.

Impressive. Unfortunately you've forgotten something rather important today.

- What's that? - My birthday.

Hey!

What can I do to make it up to you?

Beginning descent in three minutes.

Nothing that you can get done in three minutes.

Come on.

Don't start what you can't finish.

Landing on planet Kyrian in five minutes.

Sorry. Hey, look.

I know you're attracted to me. Why deny the obvious?

- It's obvious? - Yeah, sure.

Little Goody Two-shoes with an Ivy League education

are always attracted to galaxy-hopping bad boys like me.

My Ivy League education taught me to steer clear from bad boys like you.

Yeah, well, you're not going to find better than me on the market.

Straight up. Take a good look.

Handsome, intelligent...

- Modest. - Brave.

- Suicidal. - Determined.

- Pig-headed. - Faithful.

- To yourself. - Yeah, and to you.

- You're my partner. - Yeah, don't forget it.

Look, why don't you think with your heart and not your head for once?

I don't wanna be another name

on your list of conquests, thank you very much.

What are you talking about? What list?

Alex, can we see the playlist, please?

No, no. No, no, no. Hey.

Most of those are coworkers, and that's it.

Coworkers?

Right, where's my picture then?

They mean nothing to me. Okay?

I took a few detours when I was younger.

Your last detour was not so long ago.

Yeah, but with you it's different.

And you know it.

I want my heart to belong to you and no one else.

My heart will belong to a man who will erase his playlist for me.

That's what I'm talking about.

I'm that man.

Look, we both know you're quite a ladykiller.

So why do you lose interest in a girl as soon as you win her heart?

'Cause I'm looking for the perfect woman.

But you've never stopped to look.

That's not a crime.

No, it's not a crime.

But just admit it,

you're scared of commitment.

Me? Scared of commitment?

Are you kidding me?

Nine years in the service.

Impeccable record.

Seven medals of honor.

Never lost a partner.

Yeah, until now.

Refuel complete.

Alex, did you enter the coordinates?

I took that liberty, so you could both

enjoy the beach a while longer.

- Oh, thank you. - You are welcome.

You will be leaving exospace in 30 seconds.

- You wanna take us down? - Yes, sir.

Alex, will you pull up my brain charts for the past 10 minutes?

I had a weird dream.

See anything abnormal?

Your cerebral activity is a little more intense than usual.

- You received external waves. - Explain.

These waves don't come from your memory.

Somebody is sending you the images.

- Do you know who? Where they come from? - Negative.

They could come from the present or past.

And from anywhere in the universe.

Leaving exospace.

Three, two, one... exit.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Easy, easy. - We're late.

Yeah, well, better late than dead.

Do you wanna drive?

Whoa! Put your hand back on the joystick.

Laureline, put your hands back on the joystick.

Laureline, will you please put your hand back on the joystick?

Will you stop complaining about my driving?

Yes, I'm sorry. You're a great driver.

You're the best driver in the entire universe.

Aw. Thank you.

- Intercom activated. - Thanks.

Touchdown on Kyrian in two minutes.

Minister on line.

- Sir? - Agents Valerian and Laureline,

I trust you've studied the assignment. So as soon as you land,

recover the Converter and bring it to Alpha

for a top-secret operation.

The Converter is the last creature of his species,

- so we're counting on you. - Yes, sir.

Captain Gibson has further details.

And please, put on some more appropriate clothing.

Good idea. Leaving manual.

Manual disarmed.

Intercom activated.

Here they come. Intruder 980.

Check parameters.

Two people on board. No parasites.

Where's the band?

You plan on going on a mission dressed like that?

We're supposed to mingle with tourists, aren't we?

What do you expect us to wear? A panda suit?

Nice hat.

Major, this mission is in-and-out.

You enter Big Market, you find the suspect's store,

and you team up with Sergeant Cooper.

- I only work with my partner. - Hi.

We're a team.

Sergeant Laureline will arrive at the drop

in exactly 20 minutes, and you will have 10 seconds to make the transfer.

Didn't you read the memo?

Yeah. Of course.

You better have.

How about we look at the memo one last time?

Can't hurt.

Think you can survive 20 minutes without me?

How could I possibly?

Go on. Be careful.

Oh, you must be right.

I completely forgot, I have a question for you.

Shoot

What?

Will you marry me?

- Not funny. - Laureline, I'm serious.

I've been thinking about what you said earlier and you're right.

I need to move onward and upward.

I need to commit.

Here? Just like that?

Yeah. Why not? They sell a zillion things here.

I'm sure we can find a priest who'd be happy to oblige.

Go.

Okay, let's go.

We remind you that if you want to enjoy

the experience of Big Market,

you must put on equipment available to you.

Thank you.

Welcome, everybody. Welcome.

Please gather around, gather around.

Now, my name is Thaziit,

and I am your guide for today, okay?

Now, whose first time is this at Big Market?

Lovely, lovely. Wonderful, wonderful.

Now, let me remind you that Big Market is in another dimension.

You won't be able to see it without your helmet,

or touch it without your gloves.

For there are nearly a million stores in Big Market.

Yes, okay, we have one hour.

Now, please watch the letters at the top,

and verify that the "U" for Human is full green, okay?
