NOW, AFTER THE MARS PROJEC WAS CANCELLED, DOCTOR,

THEN I STARTED WORK ON MY OWN.

I'VE ALWAYS HAD AN INTERES IN ALTERNATIVE FUELS.

DR. MELATA.

I APPRECIATE THE INTERES THAT YOUR COMPANY HAS SHOWN

IN THE BLACK MOON.

I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE AN AMERICAN

MANUFACTURER THE CHANCE.

NOT SO MUCH ENCOURAGEMEN FROM YOUR AMERICAN COMPANIES.

I WOULDN'T SAY THAT--

NO, NO. AS YOU SAY,

LET'S BE FRANK.

YOUR BLACK MOON:

IS A FASCINATING PROTOTYPE,

BUT IT IS STILL A PROTOTYPE.

MUCH MORE TESTING IS NECESSARY.

MY ENGINEERS WILL BE HERE

ON FRIDAY, IN THREE DAYS.

THEY... HAVE SEEN THE REPORTS,

AND HERE THEY WILL LOOK

AND DECIDE.

IF THEY SAY YES,

I WILL MAKE MY OFFER--

A SUBSTANTIAL OFFER.

THE REST IS UP TO YOU.

I UNDERSTAND.

SCUSI.

[ Whispering, Indistinct ]

RIGHT THERE IN YOUR EYE.

I NEVER MIND MEETING

SOMEONE NEW AND INTERESTING.

DO YOU LIVE AROUND HERE ?

WHY ?
