that you have no real proof of

the existence of the outside universe.

Yes, well...

So you have no absolute proof that

Sergeant Pinback ordered you to detonate.

I recall distinctly the detonation order.

My memory is good on

matters like these.

Yes, of course you remember it, but...

But all you're remembering is merely a

series of electrical impulses which

you now realize have no real definite

connection with, with outside reality.

True, but since this is so,

I have no proof that you are

really telling me all this.

That's all beside the point.

I mean, the concept is valid,

no matter where it originates.

Hmmm...

- So if you detonate in...

- 9 seconds.

You could be doing so

on the basis of false data.

I have no proof that it was false data.

You have no proof that

it was correct data.

I must think on this further.

Attention. Attention.

The bomb has returned

to the bomb bay.

The destruction sequence is aborted.

Doolittle? Doolittle?

What happened?

Pinback? Boiler?

Did we blow it up?

Hello? Hello?

Hello, anybody!

Did we blow up the planet?

Hello, hello!

What's going on?

You know, we've really gotta

disarm the bomb.

Hello, Doolittle, are you there?

I'm coming in now.

I'm down by the Emergency Air Lock.

Too much trouble to come

in the Dorsal Lock.

Would you blow the seal on the

emergency hatch so I can come in?

Oh, sure.

You are now leaving the

Emergency Airlock.

Thank you for observing

all safety precautions.

Hello, Pinback?

- What's up, Doolittle?

- Talby was in the air lock.

You blew him out of the ship.

He's drifting away without a jet pack.

I'm going after him.

Turn on his helmet radio

so I can contact him.

What? What's wrong? I didn't hear...

Uh, Talby. He's drifting away from

the ship without his jetpack.

Talby,

Talby, can you read me?

Can you beat that?

I always knew that guy was weird.

Talby, can you read me?

Help, Doolittle, help me!

All right, bomb,

- Prepare to receive new orders.

- You are false data.

- Huh?

- Therefore, I shall ignore you.

Hello, bomb.

False data can act only

as a distraction.

Therefore I shall refuse

to perceive you.

Hey, bomb...

The only thing which

exists is myself

- Doolittle! Help me.

- Calm down. I'm coming.

Snap out of it, bomb.

In the beginning there was darkness,

And the darkness was without form

and void.

- Uh, you-hoo bomb.

- What the hell is he talking about?

And in addition to the darkness

there was also me.

And I moved upon

the face of the darkness.

And I saw that I was alone.

Hey... bomb'?...

Let there be light.

Doolittle, Doolittle, where are you?

Here I am. I'm spinning...

We're both falling in opposite

directions, away from each other.

What happened, Doolittle?

The bomb must have

gone off inside the ship.

The ship blew up? What?!

Funny, I thought I had the

damn thing convinced.

- Then Boiler... and Pinback?

- They're dead, Talby.

- Then we're dead, too.

- Maybe not... maybe there's a way.

Hey, hey my jetpack's busted.

Aw, man...

Hey,... it looks like the skipper.

He made it.

Commander Powell made it!

Men... men... what happened, men?

Ya, the skipper always was lucky.

Talby, looks like I'm headed

for the planet.

I'm going right toward it.

When you hit the atmosphere,

you'll start to burn.

What a beautiful way to die...

as a falling star.

Guess you're right.

Doolittle, I'm heading right

toward something.

It's behind me, in the distance.

Something that glows.

Doolittle...

I think it's the Phoenix Asteroids!

Phoenix?

- It is, Doolittle, it's the Phoenix!

- No kidding?

I'm going into them!

I'm going to hit them.

- Doolittle...

- Ya?

Before we get too far apart,

and our signals start fading,

I just wanted to tell you...

you were my favorite.

I really liked you, Doolittle.

I really liked you too, Talley.

Hey, some debris from the ship!

It's coming right by me.

Doolittle, I'm going into them.

I'm beginning to glow.

They're taking me with them,

with the Phoenix...

I'll circle the universe... forever.

I'm with them now...

be back this way again some day.

Doolittle, before it's too late,

there's one last thing

I just want to tell you...

Talby?

Hey... Talby!

I've got a piece of debris!

And I think I've figured out a way!
