[:np :ra245 :ph on] Red Dwarf, Season 4, Episode 6. Meltdown. [_<800>] CAT, LISTER and RIMMER are sitting round a table in the sleeping quarters. CAT and LISTER are playing a card game and RIMMER is regaling them with tales of his youth. As the scene opens we see that CAT and LISTER seem to be in some kind of pain. [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] So there we were at 2:30 in the morning. I was beginning to wish I had never come to cadet training school. To the south lay water, there was no way we could cross that. To the east and west two armies squeezed us in a pincer. The only way was north. I had to go for it and pray the Gods were smiling on me. I picked up the dice and threw two sixes. Caldecott couldn't believe it. My go again, another two sixes! [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] Rimmer, what's wrong with you? Don't you realize that no one is even slightly interested in anything you're saying? You've got this major psychological defect which blinds you to the fact that you're boring people to death! How come you can't sense that? [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] Anyway I picked up the dice again, and it was Unbelievable! Another two sixes! [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] Rimmer! [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] What? [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] No one wants to know some stupid story about how you beat your Cadet School Training Officer at Risk. [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] Then, disaster! I threw a two and a three. Caldecott picked up the dice and threw snake eyes, I was still in it. [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] Cat, can you talk to him? [:np :ra245] CAT is sitting with big pieces of cotton wool plugged in to his ears. As LISTER talks to him he takes one of the pieces. [:np] [:dv sm 1 hs 90 br 0 ri 0 la 0] [:ra 250] What? [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] Anyway, to cut a long story short, I threw a five and a four which beat his three and a two, another double six followed by a double four and a double five. After he'd thrown a three and a two I threw a six and a three. [:np] [:dv sm 1 hs 90 br 0 ri 0 la 0] [:ra 250] Man, this guy could bore for his country! [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] What I want to know is how the smeg can you remember what dice you threw at a game you played when you were seventeen? [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] I jotted it down in my Risk campaign book. I always used to do that so I could replay my moments of glory over a glass of brandy in the sleeping quarters. I ask you, what better way is there to spend a Saturday night? [:np] [:dv sm 1 hs 90 br 0 ri 0 la 0] [:ra 250] you got me. [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] So a six and a three and he came back with a three and a two. [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] Rimmer, can't you tell the story is not gripping me? I'm in a state of non-grippedness, I am completely smegging un gripped. Shut the smeg up. [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] Don't you want to hear the Risk story? [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] That's what I've been saying for the last fifteen minutes. [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] But I thought that was because I hadn't got to the really interesting bit [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] What really interesting bit? [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] Ah well, that was about two hours later, after he'd thrown a three and a two and I'd thrown a four and a one. I picked up the dice [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] Hang on Rimmer, hang on! the really interesting bit is exactly the same as the dull bit. [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] You don't know what I did with the dice though, do you? For all you know, I could have jammed them up his nostrils, headbutted him on the nose and they could have blasted out of his ears. That would've been quite interesting. [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] OK, Rimmer. What did you do with the dice? [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] I threw a five and a two. [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] And that's the really interesting bit? [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] Well it was interesting to me, it got me into Irkutsk. [:np :ra245] the teleport paddle pops KRYTEN into the room. [:nh] [:dv br 0 qu 100 ap 60 sr 0 hr 0 la 0 hr 30] [:ra 240] [mmm<2000>] curious [:np :ra245] he pops into a different spot. [:nh] [:dv br 0 qu 100 ap 60 sr 0 hr 0 la 0 hr 30] [:ra 240] Extraordinary! What a truly copacetic piece of machinery. [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] What is it? [:np :ra245] It looks like Kryten cannot remain stil for very long, since he keeps moving around. [:nh] [:dv br 0 qu 100 ap 60 sr 0 hr 0 la 0 hr 30] [:ra 240] Well, basically it appears to be a device that converts an individual into digital information and then transmits him as light beams to another point in space. Essentially it's a matter transporter. It's pretty neat. Ha! [:np] [:dv sm 1 hs 90 br 0 ri 0 la 0] [:ra 250] Where'd you get it from? [:nh] [:dv br 0 qu 100 ap 60 sr 0 hr 0 la 0 hr 30] [:ra 240] I think it must be a prototype. I found it in the Research Labs down on Z deck. I managed to cobble together the missing circuitry and it appears to be fully functional. Theoretically it can transport several people at once. So, LISTER, Would you like to grip a paddle, sir? [:np :ra245] LISTER stands and grips a paddle. [:nh] [:dv br 0 qu 100 ap 60 sr 0 hr 0 la 0 hr 30] [:ra 240] We'll meet you by the NaviComp in Starbug. [:np :ra245] they both vanish. RIMMER turns to the CAT. [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] Let's go. [:np :ra245] RIMMER and CAT get up and head off out the door. We stay focused on the room as a door in the background opens and we hear running water and see steam billowing out the door. a wet LISTER and KRYTEN come out of the shower. [:nh] [:dv br 0 qu 100 ap 60 sr 0 hr 0 la 0 hr 30] [:ra 240] I'm sorry about that, sir. I neglected to engage the depth function. [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] We'll walk, Kryten. We'll walk. [_<800>][:np :ra245] The gang is sitting round chatting in Starbug. [:np] [:dv sm 1 hs 90 br 0 ri 0 la 0] [:ra 250] So, besides cutting down on shoe leather, what good is it? [:nu] [:dv as 1 bf 10 la 30 nf 10 ri 100 sm 50 hr 100 sr 20 ap 130] [:ra 240] Exploration: it can take you anywhere. It can home in on atmosphere bearing planets within a radius of 500,000 light years. If there are any lifeforms in the local systems this thing'll take you straight to them. [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] So are there any planets with an atmosphere in range? [:nh] [:dv br 0 qu 100 ap 60 sr 0 hr 0 la 0 hr 30] [:ra 240] Well, several according to the paddle's scanners, but the most interesting prospect appears to be 200,000 light years away. In the normal course of things it would take Starbug several billion years to reach it. [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] It wouldn't be so bad, Rimmer could finish his Risk story. [:nh] [:dv br 0 qu 100 ap 60 sr 0 hr 0 la 0 hr 30] [:ra 240] Traveling subspace via the paddle we would reach it almost instantaneously. [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] Well, what are we waiting for? [:np] [:dv sm 1 hs 90 br 0 ri 0 la 0] [:ra 250] Ah ah ah! Nobody's rearranging my molecules. [:nh] [:dv br 0 qu 100 ap 60 sr 0 hr 0 la 0 hr 30] [:ra 240] It's perfectly safe, sir, but I do suggest that Mister Rimmer and I go on ahead as a scout party. [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] What? [:nh] [:dv br 0 qu 100 ap 60 sr 0 hr 0 la 0 hr 30] [:ra 240] Well, if the atmosphere isn't breatheable we won't be affected. If it is, we can send the paddle back to pick you up. [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] The thing is, Kryters, I would love to be in the advanced scout party facing all those thrilling unknown dangers with you, fighting a frontier path through a jungle of discovery, but you're forgetting one thing. [:nh] [:dv br 0 qu 100 ap 60 sr 0 hr 0 la 0 hr 30] [:ra 240] No sir, I've taken your congenital cowardliness into consideration. [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] I'm a hologram. I can't touch the thing. How could it transport me? [:nu] [:dv as 1 bf 10 la 30 nf 10 ri 100 sm 50 hr 100 sr 20 ap 130] [:ra 240] Well, of course, you do have a small physical presence. [:nh] [:dv br 0 qu 100 ap 60 sr 0 hr 0 la 0 hr 30] [:ra 240] Precisely. Holly, would you give me Mister Rimmer's light-bee, please? [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] Wait a minute. [:np :ra245] A view of RIMMER then he whites out and is gone. KRYTEN is holding the light-bee. [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] [:dv ap 300] Where am I? [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] This is Rimmer? [:np :ra245] LISTER gets up, walks over to KRYTEN and takes the light-bee from him. [:nu] [:dv as 1 bf 10 la 30 nf 10 ri 100 sm 50 hr 100 sr 20 ap 130] [:ra 240] yeh, it buzzes around inside him and projects his image. [:np :ra245] LISTER tosses the light-bee up in the air and catches it in his mouth then spits it out and catches it. [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] [:dv ap 300] My God, that was disgusting! [:nh] [:dv br 0 qu 100 ap 60 sr 0 hr 0 la 0 hr 30] [:ra 240] Please sir, that's a very sophisticated piece of hardware [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] Really? Anyone fancy a game of squash? [:nh] [:dv br 0 qu 100 ap 60 sr 0 hr 0 la 0 hr 30] [:ra 240] Sir! [:np :ra245] LISTER hands the light-bee back to KRYTEN. [:nh] [:dv br 0 qu 100 ap 60 sr 0 hr 0 la 0 hr 30] [:ra 240] Thank you. Now, if all goes well the paddle will rematerialise here. Simply press this green key and you'll be transported down to the planet, a safe distance from us. [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] OK. [_<800>][:np :ra245] KRYTEN is sent off to a Field. There's plenty of green grass, trees in the background, etc. RIMMER appears out of nowhere and staggers, then looks around. [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] What is this place? [:nh] [:dv br 0 qu 100 ap 60 sr 0 hr 0 la 0 hr 30] [:ra 240] Well I can't pinpoint our location precisely but, ah, the atmosphere is indeed breathable. I'll return the paddle. [:np :ra245] the paddle vanishes. [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] What now? [:np :ra245] KRYTEN is looking off camera and up. he looks a little worried.

[:np :ra245] We see something that looks like a T rex with feathers, wings, a bird's head and all the believability of an old Star Trek monster. [:nh] [:dv br 0 qu 100 ap 60 sr 0 hr 0 la 0 hr 30] [:ra 240] Sir? [:np :ra245] We see KRYTEN looking very worried and RIMMER running full tilt off into the distance. [_<800>] the paddle re-appears in starbug. [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] Must be safe, let's go. [:np :ra245] they vanish. [_<800>] an old-fashioned room with a chandelier and a big Nazi flag on the wall. There is a large table in the room with a fireplace in the background. There are three people in the room. The table is set out as a war planning map. The people appear to be HITLER and two of his aids. [:nh :ra 240 :dv la 30 ap 90] This will be the final push. Their resources are poor and there will is week! [:np :ra245] LISTER and CAT appear in the background. [:nh :ra 240 :dv la 30 ap 90] We can crush them, We can grind them into their dirt, We can chew up their bodies and spit them out as if they are Sauerkraut! [:np :ra245] LISTER is trying to get the paddle to work but hasn't got the settings right yet. Meanwhile, Hitler has seen them. [:nh :ra 240 :dv la 30 ap 90] Intruders! Seize them! [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] So long. [:np :ra245] LISTER and CAT teleport on to the table. [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] Suckers!

[:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] We're in some kind of narrow stone passage way. [:np] [:dv sm 1 hs 90 br 0 ri 0 la 0] [:ra 250] So what do we do? [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] I can see daylight. I don't know, we could just stand around here I suppose, 'til we work out were we are. [:np :ra245] For a couple of seconds we are in the room with HITLER and all the men in the room are looking at the fireplace in which we see two pairs of legs, LISTER's and CAT's, but then they vanish into the chimney. [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] At least we're out of trouble. [:np] [:dv sm 1 hs 90 br 0 ri 0 la 0] [:ra 250] Who were those guys? [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] Well the short one with the stupid tash was Hitler, and the jerky one with the child molester glasses was Goebbels. suppose the fat bastard must've been Goering. Must've been. He was a cocaine addict and a transvestite [_<400>] I can't remember what he was, now. But if things'd worked out different he had the makings of a major movie star.

[:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] Probably won't, man. They're probably not even interested in the paddle. They'll probably just take us outside and execute us. [:np] [:dv sm 1 hs 90 br 0 ri 0 la 0] [:ra 250] You're just saying that to make me feel better. It's just those guys are fiends. They instantly know your weak spots.

[:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] Dunno what the smeg went wrong. Kryten never said anything about the paddle taking us back in time. Just supposed to transport us to the nearest planet with a breathable atmosphere. How the smeg did we wind up in the middle of the Third Reich?

Look, if it's gallows, say it's gallows, I can take it. [:nf :ra 240 :dv br 0 hs 95 ap 100 as 100 pr 220 hr 30 sr 30] OK, it's gallows. [:np] [:dv sm 1 hs 90 br 0 ri 0 la 0] [:ra 250] Waaaaah!

There's one looks like Al Capone, there's another like Mussolini, Richard the third, Napoleon. Smeg, it's like all the worst people in history have been brought together in one place. Oh my God, there's James Last! I recognize him from Rimmer's record collection. [:np] [:dv sm 1 hs 90 br 0 ri 0 la 0] [:ra 250] What are they doing?

[:np :ra245] In the mine-field, We see Arnie's army spread out. RIMMER rides up behind them on a motor bike. [:nf] [:dv br 0 la 0 sr 100 hr 100 ap 150 pr 95] [:ra 220] Well!

Ghandi comes towards us then he steps on a mine and explodes leaving only a pair of smoking boots. More scenes of Arnie's army advancing then we see Lieutenant Colonel Mother Theresa running across the field, yelling, and running straight into a mine and exploding again leaving smoking boots. Cut to a scene of RIMMER shaking his head. Cut to Santa blasting away with a machine gun. Cut to the Dalai Lama charging across the screen. he also steps on a mine and blows up. His robe floats down. Cut to John-Paul Sartre. he gets shot in the chest. all shots produce a white waxy liquid and the shot droid dies. Cut to Francis of Assisi. he also is shot in the chest. Cut to Noel Coward. he is shot in the leg. We see the army advancing and either being shot or blown up. Suddenly we see the source of the shooting. Hitler and his mates are shooting out of the window. [:nh :ra 240 :dv la 30 ap 90] Destroy them! Keep shooting them! [:np :ra245] The door opens and Queen Victoria comes in with a machine gun and blasts away at them, they all die, but as he is dying, HITLER shoots Queen Victoria and they both die. Moments after they die KRYTEN looks round the door. seeing them all dead he enters and pulls out a radio. [:nh] [:dv br 0 qu 100 ap 60 sr 0 hr 0 la 0 hr 30] [:ra 240] Iron Duke. Iron Duke.
