Moon Page #5

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

Eliza arrival estimated three hours.

Hey. We need to do this.

We wait too long and

he's gonna be conscious.

F*** me.

Whas going on with you?

I changed my mind.

I'm not going back.

I don't think I can move my legs.

Besides, look at me...

I meet Eve now,

I'd scare the crap out of her.

What are you talking about, man?

She's your daughter.

She doesn't care what you look like.

You're not going to kill anybody.

We can't kill anybody.

You can't.

I know you can't, 'cause I can't.

You go.

You're a good guy, Sam.

It was a good plan, you know.

You just picked the wrong guy to go back.

You... You sure about this?

Yeah. You should travel, you know.

I always wanted to do that.

Amsterdam, or...

Yeah, you know, I was

thinking about Hawaii or maybe Mexico.

Aloha.

Bring me back

a pina colada, all right, bro?

Hey...

Johnny Spaceman.

You remember Tess came

in for that interview?

She was so beautiful.

She wasn't

the best candidate, but it didn't matter.

I had to give her the job.

I wanted to keep her in the country.

- She was going back to Ireland.

- She was going back to Ireland.

You knew you had to take a chance,

so you called her.

You were terrified. You wrote that whole

speech for her answering machine.

But you didn't need it,

'cause she picked up the phone.

She was, like, "Why is he calling me?

"The internship's over.

Why's he calling me at home?"

I asked her if she wanted to go get like an

ice cream cone or something dorky like that.

She said, "Les get a drink."

I said, "Okay. What do you..."

Sam, this is not going to work.

What? Why?

I've recorded everything

that has taken place since your awakening.

If anyone were to

check my memory cache,

it would put you in considerable danger.

You could erase my memory banks.

I could reboot myself

once you have departed.

Are you okay with that?

I'm here to

keep you safe, Sam. I want to help you.

Eliza arrival estimated 24 minutes.

Sam.

Hey.

I set your...

I set your computer to reboot

the moment that I've launched.

I understand, Sam.

Then you should be okay.

I hope life on Earth

is everything you remember it to be.

Thanks, Gerty.

You gonna be okay?

Of course.

The new Sam and I will be

back to our programing

as soon as I've finished rebooting.

Gerty, we're not programed.

We're people. Understand?

Eliza arrival estimated eight minutes.

F***!

Air lock pressurization complete.

Sam?

Hey, Sam?

You okay, buddy? Cavalry's here.

Where am I?

You're in the Infirmary.

You had an accident.

How long have I been out?

Not long, Sam.

Do you remember what happened?

...made contact. Yeah.

Yeah, Eliza?

He ain't going nowhere.

Bag him up and we'll

get started on repairs to the Harvester.

Dwight, I'm gonna need the...

Lunar Industries stocks

have slipped a further 32%

after accusations...

Clone 6, the clone of Sam Bell,

has been giving evidence at CAA's

Board of Directors meeting in Seattle...

You know what? He's one of two things.

He's a wacko or an illegal immigrant.

Either way, they need to lock him up.

Line two.
