Space Station 76 Page #4

Oh, take hold of my hand

I will be forgiven

GAME:

Game over! High score.

Congratulations Lieutenant Commander

Marlowe. You are a winner.

That's how much I feel

I feel for you, baby

[LINE RINGING]

WOMAN:

Space station Lorelei.

Hello. Capsule 436, please.

One moment, I'll connect you.

Thank you.

MAN:

Hello.

Daddy?

Sweetie! Oh, is that you?

Hi. Hi.

Oh, darling, how are you?

Ah. Um...

Actually, I'm not feeling so good today,

and I just... I really want...

Hold that thought. Hold that one second.

I gotta go get the video phone.

No, I really... I just really needed

to hear your voice for a second.

There we go.

Now, can you see me?

Huh? Am I good?

Go a little bit more to your left.

We can just talk. I just really wanted...

How's this? Am I good here?

I can't really see all of you. Back up...

Here? Am I in?

Your mother was the one who knew

how to work this. Can you see me?

Now it's a little bit close.

Just back up a little bit.

How about now? Hmm?

It's fine.

Yeah?

Oh, good. Darling, how are you?

I'm great.

Maybe you're playing

your music too loud.

[SOBBING]

And you're not touching them?

One left.

[]

Hello, it's me

I've thought about us

For a long, long time

Maybe I think too much

But something's wrong

There's something here

Doesn't last too long

Maybe I shouldn't think of you

As mine

JESSICA:

Ted?

[OVER RADIO]

Seeing you

Oh, sorry. Hey.

I'm just bringing her back.

No, thank you. Thanks for watching her.

Oh, it was my pleasure.

I take for granted

That you're always there

Oh, excuse us. We're dancing now.

I take for granted

That you just don't care

Whoo!

Sometimes I can't help

Seeing all the way through

It's important to me

That you know you are free

'Cause I never want to

Make you change for me

[MUSIC STOPS]

[SIGHS]

Whoa! Horsie's going for a ride.

Okay. Honey, Daddy's leg is tired, okay?

Okay.

Hey, so Jessica seemed like

she was in a good mood.

What were you guys talking about?

Hmm?

Daddy, I wanna play

the anti-gravity game.

Okay, honey, you know what your mom

says about that, all right? It's not safe.

You don't have to tell her.

Oh, really? So we're keeping secrets

from your mom now?

Is that it? Secrets from Mommy?

I don't think so.

Ow! Daddy, your hand.

Okay, we can play the game.

All right, but you have to promise me

you're not gonna tell anybody.

I promise.

Okay.

I'll go turn it down.

[SHIP BEEPING]

SHIP:

Warning. Reducing gravity.

All right, spaceship Sunshine

on the launching pad. Are you ready?

SHIP:
In five, four...

Yes, sir.

SHIP:
...three, two, one.

In three, two, one.

Blast off!

Strolling along country roads

With my baby

It starts to rain

It begins to pour

Whoa. Look at that!

Without an umbrella

We're soaked to the skin

I feel a shiver run up my spine

I feel the warmth of her hand in mine

TED:

That's good.

Ooh, I hear laughter in the rain

Walking hand in hand

With the one I love

You're amazing. Whoa!

Ooh, how I love the rainy days

And the happy way I feel inside

[LAUGHING]

[SIGHS]

I feel the warmth of her hand in mine

Ooh, I hear laughter in the rain

Walking hand in hand

With the one I love

What are you doing?

Hey. Oh. This plant needs to be pruned

in order to grow right.

Oh.

So, I was... It's looking good.

So why are you growing this plant?

Just out of curiosity.

Oh, it's a hobby.

Oh.

I did a scan on it.

I hope you don't mind.

Just to see what its components were.

Its chemical name is

delta nine tetrahydrocannabinol.

I... That... It needs to be...

There's medicine... Medicinal purposes.

And because it's in the flowering stage,

you'll find it would grow a lot better

if you reduce the humidity

by watering it only once a day

with the lights on

for only half the day.

SHIP:
Engine powering up.

Engine powering down.

Engine... Engine powering down.

Engine powering up.

Engine powering down.

[LAUGHING]

[COUGHING]

Entire ship doesn't even get that...

What it was even... Meant for it.

And no one...

But that's what makes it so wonderful.

Ooh! Turn around!

It's not even that big of a deal.

It shouldn't even be.

Let's not even try for it.

Ehh...

Consider it part of

the scientific observational process.

Heh.

No, no it...

[]

It's important for you to understand

its effects on humans.

You're bad.

Just inhale it.

There you go.

Yeah.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Come on. Come on. Come on.

[TED & JESSICA LAUGHING]

Good day. Yes.

Good day, sir.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

[]

What did I forget?

Oh! My folders. My folders.

What do you got there?

Nothing.

Show me what's in your hand.

Sunshine, what are you doing?

It's the last one. I'm setting it free.

Sunshine.

It can live here.

No, it can't live here

because it needs its mother.

No, she'll eat it.

She ate the others.

And if I leave it there, she'll eat it.

It can't live without its mom.

It can't live on its own.

Then why does she kill it?

Sometimes mommy gerbils,

they worry so much

about their babies

that they would kill it before they would

see anything bad happen to it.

Well, then you'll be his mommy.

Please?

Okay.

Gently.

It'll grow up in here.

And when it's big enough,

we can put it back with its mommy.

And she'll be so happy.

Well, she ate

the whole thing this time.

No, Jessica's taking care of it.

It seems like Jessica

is really reaching out to you.

I guess you could say that.

Mm...

Do you like her?

She's okay. How about you?

Not really.

No, I just think she seems

really manipulative.

Do you know what that means?

No.

It means she's a bad person.

I feel like she's just a little bit

jealous of me because I have you.

[CHUCKLES]

Do you pick up on that?

I guess so.

I know you don't like her

because she's jealous

but I do like her

because she's really nice to me.

No, she's not nice to you.

What has she done that's nice?

I've never had any friends before.

[SCOFFS]

That's not true.

I'm your best friend.

I know, but besides you and Dad

and the captain.

Oh.

Okay. Hey.

Come here, sweetie pie.

Don't you think it's a

little sad, really, that

a woman as old as she is is trying

to be your friend?

It's, heh, creepy, almost.

Why would you think that?

Well, it's just I think

she seems like a lonely,

jealous, and manipulative person.

You know, I walked into the bridge

the other night and...

God, you wouldn't believe

what she was doing.

What did she do?

Well, um...

She stole some food.

Yeah, I think she's got some real issues

with food and... Gosh, I wasn't gonna

say anything, but actually,

it was your special sundae.

Yeah, I mean, she didn't even care

that it was your special dessert.

She just went ahead

and ate it anyway.

It's just a sundae.

Whose side are you on? Hmm?

[]

[SIGHS]

[DOOR OPENS]

Ah. He is relentless.

Heh. Jealous?

You bet.

Some wine?

No thanks.

Mm.

Good news.

We are leaving in two weeks

for Starship 8.

[ALL GASP]

That's right. He's gonna be overseeing

all of the docking bays.
