Silent Running Page #4

This is Berkshire. Can you read?

We got a plot on you, Lowell.

Fantastic.

We're looking forward to seeing you, buddy.

We made it.

Transmit, will ya?

Please acknowledge immediately.

Come in, Valley Forge.

Can you read?

Please transmit immediately.

Berkshire to Valley Forge.

Berkshire to Valley Forge.

How about a word, Lowell, huh?

Hi.

Lowell?

I'm mighty glad to see you, boy.

Who is this?

This is Anderson, Lowell.

My God, we've looked

high and low for you.

How did you find me?

W-Why did you even try?

Hey, you must be kidding.

We couldn't just let you go

without at least trying to find you.

We said we'd send out a search party.

I guess I forgot.

It wasn't easy finding you either,

even with our deep-space tracking.

I don't suppose it was. Freeman, you have

to find some way to jettison the dome.

What?

It's awfully dark out here, so it would be safer...

if you don't blow it up.

The sun. The sun.

That's what it is.

The sun!

Did you hear what he said?

It's the sun.

What?

Uh, nothing.

I was just saying that

everything is all right.

Where was your big explosion?

We can't see it.

Oh, the explosion's on the other side, the far side of the ship.

Other side? Okay.

We'll be instrument docking on your port side in six hours.

Right. Six hours.

Huey and Dewey, come on.

We can still save the forest!

It's gonna work.

Dewey...

I've taught you everything that I know

about taking care of the forest here.

And, uh...

that's all that you have

to do from now on,

just maintain the forest.

Now, these lights here will do the job

that the sun would do.

They'll help revive everything.

I, uh...

I just can't do it anymore.

You see, things, uh...

things just haven't worked out for me.

Take care of yourself, Dewey.

Huey, you have to come with me...

because you're just not working

well enough to help Dewey.

Berkshire to Valley Forge.

Berkshire to Valley Forge.

We'll be docking

on your port side in two hours.

Stand by for updates.

Take good care of the forest, Dewey.

You know, when I was a kid,

I put a note into a bottle,

and it had my name and address on it.

And then I threw the bottle

into the ocean.

And I never knew...

if anybody ever found it.
