Invasion America

Invasion America (1998) was America's first animated, prime-time sci-fi mini-series. It was originally 13 half hour episodes, but was condensed to six longer ones. The story follows David Carter, the half-human son of an alien king, as he tries to stop the Dragit's plots to conquer Earth. Season 1 The Legend [1.1, 1.2] [David is speeding on Jim's motorcycle] Jim Bailey: Uh…how about bringing it down to Mach 1, okay? Personal favor? [Upon learning and disapproving of the Dragit's plans] Rafe: Treason! Dragit: Revolution. Rita Carter: I'm Rita. Oh, uh- you put your hand in mine, and then up, and down. It's this little custom we have on Earth. Cale Oosha: Yosh. I have read of this. Rita: You really are from out there! Rafe: Let's go while there's time. Rita: Go where? You can't go back to your spaceship; do you have a back-up plan? …Any plan? [Cale hands Rita orb] Cale: Keep this. It is your path to me. Rita: How? Cale: You'll know when the time comes. [telling Rafe to stay behind] Cale: They need you. Serve them as you served me. Protect them as you protected me. And, Rafe...teach him, as you taught me. He is our future. Gen. Konrad: Your lab work is outstanding Major Stark. Think of it- a species not of this Earth- and the tabloids got it right for a change.[looking at a museum exhibit] Jim: Mmm…I love these things. David Carter: Didn't think you liked history. Jim: Oh, I don't. Ask me how I feel about topless native women. David: In one day my world has been taken from me- my home, my mom- my life. Why? Why is this happening to me? Assault [1.3, 1.4] David: Where did my father go? Rafe: To lead the fight against the Dragit. David: Who’s Dragit? Rafe: A warlord who plans to invade Earth. David: Invade Earth? Why? Rafe: He claims he’s saving Tyrus. The Ooshati- those who follow your father- disagree. Rafe: We call it the Exotar- the symbol of sovereignty, eight hundred of your ancestors have worn it. We called your father Cale-Oosha, our lawful ruler. As you will be someday. Put it on. [Exotar glows, molds to David’s hand] David: Did you see it? It changed to fit me! Rafe: When its sensors identified your genetic code, it adjusted to you. If you were not the son of Cale, it would have crushed your hand. [about an attacking Tyrusian soldier] David: He looks American. Rafe: So do I.[David grabs Rafe's second gun] Rafe: Do you know how to use that? David: I go to the movies. Major Phil Stark: I do not like being shot at. [while planning attack on underground base] Suta: What if they release the manglers? Rafe: Then…they win. [watching Rafe]David: What is it, Halloween? Rafe: Tyrusian war paint. Black represents the darkness within, grey the spirit of the warrior. [applies green]David: What’s that represent? Rafe: Nothing. I like the color. Konrad: How much longer to arm the destruct sequence? Tyrusian 1: A minute, sir, maybe less. Konrad: Seal off the core, release the manglers. Tyrusian 1: But sir, our men are in there. Konrad: Do it. Tyrusian 1: No, sir, we can’t.[Konrad shoots Tyrusian 1]Konrad: [pointing gun at Tyrusian 2] You do it. Pilot: You can’t fly this thing! David: Watch me. [targetting an enemy ship]David: Just like a video game… Konrad: [pointing gun] What? No heroics? No super acts of courage? I’m disappointed in you, Rafe. But I’ll get over it. David: I’m half human, half alien, and altogether alone. But I will never stop fighting. Renewal [1.5, 1.6] Stark: I’d like to speak to the general. Gen. Gordon: So would we. [2 men carrying a covered stretcher pass in foreground] But it’s gonna take a real high clearance.[While wandering, lost, in the Utah desert]David: I didn’t know…how long, how far I wandered. Hours, miles…it didn’t matter. The sun was always right on top of me. I had to contact the Ooshati, the freedom fighters loyal to my father. But the only transmitter was back on Maple Island, and that meant finding my way out of a million square miles of kitty litter.[hallucinating from heat exhaustion]David: The visions lasted for hours. I saw Mom [tries to hug Rita but she vanishes]…Rafe…[Rafe mirage morphs into Cale] …and my father. I’d never known how to imagine him before. In my dreams he was never a face…just a deep voice I could never understand, or a strong arm around my shoulders. I tried to tell myself he was there to help me, to give me the strength and courage to survive. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the past forty-eight hours [Cale mirage crouches] is that things are never what they seem. [Cale turns into mangler] This vision was real. [after being rescued from mangler]David: [panting] Thanks, I owe you one. Doc: Huh. You owe me a freezer full of good meat. Sergeant Angie Romar: Something’s not right. Stark: You getting spirit messages now? Romar: My gypsy heritage. [being pursued by a sheriff]David: He’s gaining on us. Doc:Well, what do you want me to do, kid? Fly? Turn invisible? This heap didn’t even come with air conditioning! [Doc is hauling a motorcycle out of hiding]Doc: Figured I might need something faster than that truck someday. It’s yours if you want it. I put a few gimmicks on it might come in handy. It can do most anything you ask it to…dern near fly. David: I can’t take this from you. Doc: Take it. Like I said, I’m no hero…but maybe you are. David: There were two obstacles: police everywhere looking for me…and I was starving. I never thought I’d risk my life for a cheeseburger. David: What’s going on? Man 1: One of them meteors! Man 2: It’s…coming straight at us! Capture [1.7, 1.8] Jim: Okay. Let me get this straight. You’ve just driven 72 hours straight on a motorcycle that hovers so that you can use a glove that glows to stop evil Tyrusians from destroying Earth by launching meteors at it from the dark side of the moon. Right? David: [sighs] When you put it that way it does sounds kind of wild. Jim: Wild? What have you been smoking? Friendly Fire [1.9, 1.10] Final Mission [1.11, 1.12, 1.13] Doc: I couldn't stop the meteor launch, so I reversed it. David: You what?'' Doc: It seemed like a good idea at the time.
