BECK'S QUARTERS/ ON DEJESUS

He hears Cobb and freezes. He looks around--the cramped

quarters don't offer much in the way of hiding places.

INTERCUT WITH BOWMAN AND OTHERS IN DORMATORY

They react similarly to the sound of Cobb on the P.A.

ON COBB AND BECK/ CORRIDOR

Beck stops outside his door and sees Cobb.

BECK:

Something wrong, Cobb?

COBB:

(struggling)

Uh..Excuse me sir, it's the air

recirculating system, sir...

BECK:

What's wrong with it?

COBB:

(thinking fast)

...I'd really have to show it to

you.

BECK:

(beat)

All right...

Cobb smiles, he can't believe his luck, then Beck holds up

the videotape.

BECK(cont'd)

...Just let me put this in

my safe...

Before Cobb can react Beck opens the door to his quarters

and steps inside.

BECK'S QUARTERS WE SEE no sign of DeJesus. Cobb follows

into the room, looking carefully around for sign of DeJesus.

In the mirror to Beck's bathroom, Cobb spots DeJesus

pressing against the wall. Cobb suddenly starts to sweat

bullets. Beck quickly unlocks the safe, opens it, and puts

the videotape right next to the bottle of Vodka.

We see Cobb's reaction. Beck turns.

BECK:

Something wrong?

Cobb shakes his head weakly and starts to follow Beck out,

he sneaks a look back at DeJesus in the shadows who gives

him a thumbs up.

MESS - LATER

Five specimen cups filled with vodka. Bowman takes hers and

looks at it questioningly. Cobb watches the door for signs

of the officers.

BOWMAN:

Cute, DeJesus...Specimen cups?

JONES:

Aw, loosen up, Bowman...

(he looks over and

notices Willie)

Hey, Willie, I got one served

up for you.

Willie shakes her head.

WILLIE:

No, thanks. I've got my

blood tests in three days.

DEJESUS:

That's all you do is exercise.

You got to learn to live a little.

WILLIE:

After my astronaut training physical,

then I'll tie one on.

SIXPACK:

Forget space cadet, I'll drink hers.

COBB:

Hey what happens it he goes

back and finds the bottle missing?

DEJESUS:

He won't...

He holds up a plastic IV bag filled with clear liquid.

DEJESUS(cont'd)

I poured the vodka in here.

Cobb, Jones, DeJesus, Bowman, and Sixpack grin and clink

glasses, then knock back their vodka. Afterwards we get

their reactions.

JONES:
Looks concerned.

BOWMAN:
Shakes her head, something's wrong.

DEJESUS:
Can't get the taste off his tongue.

COBB:
Seems totally satisfied.

SIXPACK:
who has held the liquid in his mouth savoring it,

suddenly spits the vodka out.

SIXPACK:

Sh*t! It's water!

JONES:

Beck switched it!

DEJESUS:

Can you beat that? The sonof-

abitch doesn't trust us!

Willie grins at her co-workers and Beck's move and jogs out

into the corridor. Sixpack disgustedly tosses his shot

glass away and leaves.

SIXPACK:

That little turd. If I

ever get the chance I'll

fix his ass.

The others put down their glasses disappointedly except

Bowman. She watches Sixpack.

DORMITORY:

SIXPACK'S BUNK He closes his privacy door and hesitates as

if listening for the others, then he removes a silver flask

with Cyrillic lettering--the silver object he palmed in the

Swamp--and smiles as he takes a long pull. Suddenly WHAM!

The Privacy door to Sixpack's bunk is slammed open.

Startled he turns startled to see--BOWMAN.

BOWMAN:

Didn't I ever tell you vodka

was my favorite drink?

She holds out her glass. Sixpack looks around the Dorm,

it's empty, then grins sheepishly and pours her a shot.

CORRIDOR "B"

ON WILLIE She is jogging through the corridors. Suddenly

there is a GREAT GROANING NOISE. Willie stops and looks

through the steel mesh wall into the machine floor. The

dark shapes of the machines move monstrously in the dim

light. The GROANING ends and she jogs on to the Swamp.

As she passes the door she notices the light and stops. Beck

stands with a clipboard by an equipment cabinet filled with

the parachute-like Container Transporters we saw outside.

He sees her.

BECK:

That was a loud one wasn't it?

WILLIE:

After a month of it you'd think

I'd be used to it.

She moves into the Swamp and goes to the Lift Lock, stopping

under one of the ladders she leaps up and grabs a metal rung

above her and begins doing her chin-ups as Beck watches her

lean body easily doing the exercises.

BECK:

(watching her)

How's astronaut training?

WILLIE:

Why? You going to give me hard

time like the others?

BECK:

No. I'm just being friendly.

WILLIE:

(beat)

Good...It's going good.

Beck tries to concentrate on his inventory, but continues to

watch Willie's sexy, athletic body.

BECK:

Whatever made you want to

do a tour down here?

WILLIE:

I need electrical field

experience on my resume.

Everything helps...

(she watches him)

Why are you here?
