Moon Page #3

Synopsis: Sam Bell has a three year contract to work for Lunar Industries. For the contract's entire duration, he is the sole employee based at their lunar station. His primary job responsibility is to harvest and periodically rocket back to Earth supplies of helium-3, the current clean and abundant fuel used on Earth. There is no direct communication link available between the lunar station and Earth, so his only direct real-time interaction is with GERTY, the intelligent computer whose function is to attend to his day to day needs. With such little human contact and all of it indirect, he feels that three years is far too long to be so isolated; he knows he is beginning to hallucinate as the end of his three years approaches. All he wants is to return to Earth to be with his wife Tess and their infant daughter Eve, who was born just prior to his leaving for this job. With two weeks to go, he gets into an accident at one of the mechanical harvesters and is rendered unconscious. Injured, he awak

So commence to jump forjoy.

You're about to be back in work.

In the meantime,

hang in there. Rest up.

You hang in there, Sam. Over and out.

They're sending a Rescue Unit?

Why? Why are they

sending a Rescue Unit?

To fix the stalled Harvester.

They didn't think I was up to it.

Well, then I'm going back.

Thas it for me.

What?

Is that what you really think?

Yeah.

I've got a contract. I'm going home.

You're a f***ing clone.

You don't have sh*t.

- Hey, I'm going home.

- You're not going anywhere.

You know, you've been

up here too long, man.

You've lost your marbles.

What, do you think Tess is back home,

waiting for you on the sofa in lingerie?

What about the original Sam? Huh?

I'm the original Sam!

I'm Sam f***ing Bell!

- Hey, hey. Whoa.

- Me! Me!

Gerty, am I a clone?

Are you hungry?

Hey, hey.

Don't get your f***ing panties in a twist.

I'm in the same boat, a**hole.

- Listen. What about the other clones?

- What?

We might not be

the first two to be woken up.

You said that model had

already been started when you got here.

Well, who started it?

There might be others

up here right now.

Think about it. How did I get up here

so quickly after your crash?

- I don't want to talk about it.

- They didn't ship me in from Central.

There wasn't time.

I must have come from the base.

I don't know what you're smoking.

Why would they do that?

Thas ridiculous.

Impossible.

I bet there's some

kind of secret room.

Secret room?

Yeah, a secret room.

Why not?

You're the one

who's lost your marbles.

I've been here for three years, man.

I know every inch of this base.

I know how many... How much dirs

between those wall panels over there.

Why would they do that?

Whas the motive?

Look, is a company, right?

They have investors.

They have shareholders.

Sh*t like that.

Whas cheaper?

Spending time and money

training new personnel,

or you just have

a couple of spares here to do the job.

Is the far side of the moon.

The cheap fucks haven't even

fixed the communications satellite yet.

Tess would know.

She would have told me.

Hey, Geppetto, wake up.

You really think they give a sh*t about us?

They're laughing all the way to the bank.

Tess would know.

She would have told me...

What do you get off

f***ing sitting there,

sulking like a little f***ing boy!

- Oh, Jesus Christ.

- Wake up!

I bet there's some area

that we don't know about.

And I'm gonna find it.

Yeah, maybe

you'll find some buried treasure, too.

F***!

Eliza arrival estimated 13 hours.

You found your secret room?

Just put that anywhere.

Now, thas a good idea. Thas...

Thas where I keep my leprechauns.

- Get out of the way.

- What? Why?

I want to look

underneath that model.

You're not touching this model.

Get the f*** out of the way.

Listen, why don't you relax, okay?

Why don't you

take a pill? Bake a cake?

- Go read the encyclopedia or something?

- You're a tough guy now?

What, are you going to stab me?

No, I'm a peaceful warrior.

I'm a lover. I'm not a fighter.

Put the knife down.

- Hey, hey, just...

- I want to look underneath there.

- Put the knife down.

- No. I'm not going to give you the knife.

- Just get out of the way.

- Take it easy 'cause I...

- Let go of the knife.

- Don't ever tell me what to do, okay?

Just... You let go. Let go of the knife.

- Don't be an a**hole.

- Don't push me.

- Don't push me, motherf***er.

- Let go.

Let go.

F***ing told you

to let go of the goddamn knife.

Little f***ing...

F***ing little girl, man!

- God damn it!

- No! No!

God damn it.

What did I tell you?

Okay, okay...

You gonna stop?

You gonna stop?

Okay, okay.

Jesus! F***...

F*** me. What the f***?

I hardly...

I hardly touched you.

- My f***ing eye, man.

- Let me see.

- Thas a lot of blood.

- Get off of me!

Thas enough.

Well, appealing...

Nice feet, sexy...

Hello, Sam.

- Sam, is everything okay?

- Yeah.

Yeah, we had a fight,

me and the other guy, the other...

He's very angry, you know.

Know what he did?

He flipped my entire model over.

Know how much work I put into that thing?

Nine hundred and

thirty-eight hours.

Nine hundred and

thirty-eight hours, yeah, exactly.

Nine hundred and

thirty-eight hours, really?

Approximately.

He's got a problem.

He scares me, Gerty.

What is it about Sam that scares you?

How he flies off the handle.

I see it now.

I see what Tess was talking about.

I never told you this, Gerty, but she...

She left me.

Tess left me, for six months.

She moved back in with her parents.

I know.

She gave me a second chance.

I promised her I'd change.

You have changed, Sam.

Hey, Gerty, since

I've been up here, I've sent Tess...

I've sent her over 100 video messages.

Where did those messages go?

Did they ever reach her?

Sam, I can only account

for what occurs on the base.

What about the messages she sent to me?

Sam, I can only account

for what occurs on the base.

Gerty...

Am I really a clone?

When you first

arrived at Sarang, there was a small crash.

You woke up in the Infirmary.

You suffered

minor brain damage and memory loss.

I kept you

under observation and ran some tests.

I remember, yeah. I remember that.

Sam, there was no crash.

You were being awakened.

It is standard procedure

for all new clones

to be given tests

to establish mental stability

and general physical health.

Genetic abnormalities

and minor duplication errors in the DNA

can have considerable impact on...

What about...

What about Tess? What about Eve?

They are memory implants, Sam.

Uploaded, edited memories

of the original Sam Bell.

I am very sorry.

Sam, is been

several hours since your last meal.

Can I prepare you something?

Rescue arrival estimated 11 hours.

Okay, sweetheart?

Yeah, I'm staring into space. Get it?

- Funny.

- Hey...

Thanks for this. This is good.

This is cozy.

How's the... How's the nose?

Much better, thank you.

I went haywire before, you know, I...

I lost it and I'm...

- I'm sorry about that.

- Is okay.

No, is not okay.

I f***ed up Fairfield. I f***ed up your model.

I don't know

whas wrong with me. I got a...

I got a temper.

I gotta do something about it.

Yes, you do.

Hey, can you turn that off for a second?

I want to talk to you.

Can you turn that off? Listen...

Listen, I wasn't supposed to... I'm...

I'm trying to tell you something.

Can you turn...

Lunar instructed Gerty to...

Listen to me.

I wasn't supposed to find you...

- Tough guy.

- Listen to me...

- You look like a...

- What?

...radioactive tampon.

- I wasn't supposed to...

Or like a banana with

a yeast infection.

Listen to me.

I wasn't supposed to find you.

Lunar instructed Gerty to lock me inside

the base while you were out there.

And there's something else.

Right around the time I was awakened,

I walked in on Gerty talking to Central.

He was having a live conversation.

- A live conversation?

- Yeah.

How do you know

it was a live conversation?
