No way they're going to bring
those automated vacuum loaders here.
When they installed them on 14
and 23, they said it was temporary.
Well, they're still there.
Some temporary!
Hand me that coupler, would you?
What about Wooton?
He's a shop steward. What'd he say?
I'll tell you what Wooton said.
Zip. That's what he said.
They're always
trying to pull something.
That's a lot of crap!
They've run a seven worker shift since they
installed those loaders on 14 and 23.
Hey, you read the contract.
Eight workers per shift.
That's what it says. Eight.
In black and white.
So they want to get cute,
I can get cute, too.
I want a meeting.
Maybe we need a new shop steward.
Bylaws are bylaws.
Can't they regulate these suits?
It's minus 175 degrees.
- Where's your other suit?
- ln the shop.
Put some Mylar over the sensor.
It steps down the heating coil
and you'll be cooler.
Really?
No, moron, l made it up.
Oh, God!
I hate spiders!
Kill it! Kill it!
Kill it!
Hey, Tarlow, what's eating you?
Get it off! Get it off my leg!
Somebody please help me!
Tarlow, what's the matter
with you? Get what off?
Spider! Please help me! Get it off!
Get it off!
Spider? Have you popped your cork?
How can there be a spider here?
- Ah, he's putting us on.
Get it off! Oh, get it off! Oh, God!
Very funny.
We're not falling for nothing.
Cut the garbage and get back to work.
Oh, God, it's getting inside!
Get it out! Get it out!
Somebody please help me!
Somebody help me
get it out of my suit!
God, Tarlow!
Two minutes.
- ls it the buttermilk kind?
- I'm afraid so.
- Yuck.
They were running out
of the other kind.
I can hardly talk with these braces.
It won't be much longer.
- How much longer?
Pretty soon.
- How soon?
"How soon?"
- How soon for what?
Till l get my braces off.
You want crooked teeth?
I don't mind them.
You'll be missing some teeth
in a minute if you don't eat breakfast.
Pretend it's not buttermilk.
Pretend I ate them.
Marshal, it's Lowell.
Nothing much.
Just a couple of drunks.
We'll watch it tonight.
That's it.
I'll be in your office at 18:00.
Marshal, it's Montone.
Nothing more on that incident...
...in the mine yesterday.
Some guy went whacko.
The Company's shipping the body back,
or what's left, on today's shuttle.
It's impossible to do an autopsy.
You should have seen that mess!
Anyway, definitely no homicide.
There were two witnesses
when it happened.
in a while up here.
Some people
let this place get to them.
So that's about it.
Tell your wife that Transportation
got the tickets for her.
I'll see you
when you get to the office.
And don't worry,
you'll get used to it.
What tickets?
Oh. Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds,
the nice couple from the bakery.
They wanted tickets
for the weekly shuttle for a friend.
So I said I'd see what l could do.
Well, I'd better go.
See you for dinner, sport.
- And remember, seven pages of math.
I promise.
You be good today.
- I will.
Look, l know this is
a lousy assignment.
And I know what it is for you.
How difficult.
Just give it a chance.
It won't be so bad.
I know.
Bill.
I love you.
I love you, too.
We've only been here two weeks.
It'll get better. L promise.
I got to go. You smell good.
And finally,
I realize that I'm new here...
...and I've got to get to know you,
and you've got to get to know me.
I just hope that l can
justify your confidence.
Thank you.
Yes, eating out of your hand.
Are there any questions?
Uh, Marshal?
Flo Spector...
...Accounting Services.
I'm sure l speak for all of us...
...in extending our welcome
to you and your family.
If Mrs. O'Niel or your son should need
anything, tell them to call me.
Thank you very much.
I'll be sure and tell my wife.
Her name is Carol.
I see there are no more questions.
I add my welcome to Marshal O'Niel.
I'm sure we all agree
he'll have a pleasant tour.
Right now,
he's just getting started here.
Soon he'll see that this
is like every other mining town.
- There's never much trouble.
- I'm glad to hear it.
and women work hard. Very hard.
Since I've been the general manager,
we've broken all productivity records.
We're becoming the leading
Con-Amalgamate operation.
And everyone in this room has
received the bonus checks to prove it.
Good work only comes
from contented people.
...and I let them play hard.
When it comes time
for them to let off steam...
...you have to allow them some room.
Long as no harm's done,
just give them a little room.
Understand what I'm saying, Marshal?
Thanks for the advice, Mr. Sheppard.
We're all professionals.
I'm sure we are.
Drop by my office.
We'll talk some more.
I'll do that.
Don't get your nose out of joint.
What was that all about?
- lt's just his way.
- I don't like his way.
- Don't mess with him.
- He's an a**hole.
A very powerful a**hole.
Don't mess with him.
He's just trying to sniff you out.
The last marshal kept things
running smooth. That's all they want.
Things run smooth,
they make their money.
Nobody's here for their health, and they
certainly aren't here for the scenery.
What is that guy doing?
He's going in the elevator!
He's going in the elevator
without a suit on!
Can we override the elevator from here?
Hello?
Carol?
I'm trying to keep my composure...
...and like everything else I do,
I despise these message things.
I'm just such a coward.
I couldn't look at your face and say
what I'm about to say. I just couldn't.
If you were in front of me,
I'd change my mind.
And I don't want to change my mind.
I love you. Please know that.
I hadn't planned this.
I really hadn't.
Oh, God.
I just can't take it anymore.
That's what it amounts to.
I know we've been over this
so many times before.
The same crying from me,
and the same assurances from you.
That the next place will be different.
But it never is. Lt can't be.
So yesterday, something snapped in me.
I just couldn't bear to see Paulie...
...clatter around yet another
bleak place. L just couldn't.
He's a child.
He's never set foot on Earth.
Never!
He looks at pictures
...all day long. And he hides them
from you so your feelings won't be hurt.
Don't you see
he deserves a childhood?
He deserves a chance
to breathe air, real outside air...
...where you don't broil or explode.
Air that smells like life!
Not like a ventilating unit!
I'm just not as good as you are.
So I'm taking Paulie back home.
I love you.
You don't deserve this.
You deserve the best.
I've just got to go now, my love.
I'll contact you...
...in a few days from the space station
before we finally leave for Earth.
What do we have here?
What's happening with the purser's area?
