Kelvin and Rheya sit together in the Prometheus. Rheya
continues her story without a beat.
RHEYA:
Scared. No, not scared. Wary.
Like I was something to be... her
guard went up. I was a threat.
Now I know why. She was afraid
she'd be seen. That I would see
her for the self-obsessed neurotic
that she was. I think she thought
she had a few more years of being
on a pedestal. But that's the
cycle, right? I knew a little more
than she did, she knew a little
more than her mother, and on and
on.
(beat)
I guess that's part of the reason
why --
KELVIN:
I know. I know. We don't have to
talk about that.
Another beat.
RHEYA:
I remember days of just thinking
about you.
INT. OFFICES - DAY
Intercut Kelvin and Rheya at their respective jobs, going
through a normal day. There is no sound. As we see these
images, it's clear that Kelvin and Rheya are slightly not
present in their respective encounters with other people;
they are distracted by the idea of each other.
And they like it.
RHEYA:
Thinking what you were doing and
saying, just being consumed by
thinking of you. I loved it so
much, that feeling.
KELVIN:
I did too.
INT. APARTMENT - NIGHT
Rheya on the edge of the bed, facing away.
KELVIN:
I used to watch you undress.
As she does:
KELVIN:
undress. Every time, it was
exciting. Right until... to the
end.
A beat. Then a shot of Kelvin that we've seen before: Him
leaving their apartment, angry.
ON THE PROMETHEUS
A beat.
RHEYA:
What happened to us, exactly?
KELVIN:
You don't know?
Rheya shakes her head.
Kelvin just watches her.
RHEYA:
I remember... something burning.
Coffee burning.
INT. APARTMENT - DAY
The rain-streaked window.
An automated coffee maker has been left on, and the
solidified coffee at the bottom of the pot is smoking.
Rheya's body is on the floor of the kitchen.
RHEYA (ON PROMETHEUS)
She is looking at Kelvin. He is dreading this.
RHEYA:
You found me?
He nods. It's coming back to her.
INT. APARTMENT - DAY
Kelvin is yelling at Rheya. We don't hear what he's saying,
but judging from her reaction, it's not pleasant. She is
crying.
RHEYA (ON PROMETHEUS)
Experiencing this all over again. Kelvin comes and sits in
front of her.
INT. APARTMENT - DAY
Kelvin, still yelling, is packing some things into a
suitcase. Rheya, between sobs, pleads with him.
RHEYA (ON PROMETHEUS)
Her eyes fill with tears. Kelvin embraces her.
KELVIN:
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Rheya is devastated, inconsolable.
RHEYA:
Why did you say those things?
KELVIN:
I don't know. I couldn't
understand why you didn't tell me.
INT. APARTMENT - DAY
Rheya lies on the kitchen floor, dead. There is a NOTE in
her hand.
Kelvin kneels next to her.
KELVIN (ON PROMETHEUS)
KELVIN:
When you said you wouldn't make
it... I didn't believe you. Or I
didn't take you seriously, which is
worse.
INT. APARTMENT - DAY
Kelvin holds the dead Rheya.
KELVIN (ON PROMETHEUS)
Squeezing her.
KELVIN:
CUT TO:
INT. KELVIN'S ROOM
Kelvin lies in bed, his eyes open. Rheya is in his arms.
CUT TO:
INT. APARTMENT - DAY
Rheya, talking to Chris. Obviously during a period when they
were getting along. Or at least: not fighting.
RHEYA:
I can't help feeling that I'm
cheating when I take them.
KELVIN:
It's genetics. You know this. You
know where it comes from. There is
nothing wrong with uncrossing a few
crossed wires.
She knows, intellectually, that he is right. But it doesn't
matter.
CUT TO:
INT. KELVIN'S ROOM
Kelvin is out of bed and speaking into a videophone to Snow.
Rheya is asleep in the background. The room is dark except
for the glow of the screen.
SNOW:
You're unnerved because you've
spent your whole life thinking
nobody is looking over you, and
suddenly your subconscious is an
open book. We are, for the first
time, experiencing changes in
natural reality by a force not our
own. That proves that --
KELVIN:
-- we are not sure of that. We are
not sure we aren't all
hallucinating.
SNOW:
If God is beyond our comprehension,
and she --
(meaning Rheya)
-- is here for reasons that can't
be understood, isn't God here?
KELVIN:
Not necessarily.
SNOW:
Stop equivocating! Unbelievable,
how you equivocate! You, the
atheist, you're more dogmatic than
any holy person I've ever seen!
This is happening, Kevin. Wake up.
KELVIN:
Consciousness is enough, that's all
I've saying. Consciousness should
be enough for anybody.
SNOW:
Who are you trying to convince?
Kelvin just looks back at Rheya.
SNOW:
It will end badly. As inevitably
as the rising of a bubble.
Kelvin doesn't respond.
SNOW:
Let's all meet tomorrow. Sartorius
has some new ideas, about making it
stop.
Kelvin just keeps staring at Rheya, asleep.
CUT TO:
INT. KELVIN'S ROOM
Kelvin is eating with Rheya. Looking at her. Desiring her.
RHEYA:
Do you have any idea how much I
like f***ing you?
KELVIN:
I think so.
RHEYA:
Good. Because I want you to know.
I really like f***ing you.
He leans over and whispers in her ear. She smiles and leans
back.
RHEYA:
I like that too.
KELVIN (V.O.)
How could she not be real? I can
smell her, taste her. She does
exactly what she did... it's not
possible.
