Space Station 76 Page #5

WOMAN:

Oh, no, you lucky devil.

That's great. Steve, that's great.

Thanks, Ted.

It is an incredible ship.

Real exclusive, if you know what I mean.

It's not a military ship so it's

only available to people

who can afford it, right?

And they have a mall.

A goddamn mall. Can you believe that?

Four stories of consumer goods.

I'm so excited.

Lingerie, shoes, bags,

leather goods, dresses...

I'm just going through a lot

of f***ed-up stuff right now.

I'm having a hard time applying

everything we've talked about.

My husband just keeps coming at me

with his need, need, need.

And I hate the whole f***ing vibe

on this ship, and it's pissing me off!

I'm going to up your dosage of Valium

to as much as you'd like.

Yeah. That'll be good.

You have one child.

How is your one child?

[CHUCKLES]

You know, I just can't be everything

to everyone all the time.

You can't be everything to everyone

until you are something to yourself.

Do you, Misty,

feel like you are something to yourself?

I don't know.

I've just been really trying

to get to know Misty.

What makes Misty happy?

What makes me happy?

What makes Misty okay?

Dr. Bot.

Dr. Bot makes me okay.

[DR. BOT'S ALARM WAILS]

Warning. Dr. Bot must

remind Misty not to become

too close to her therapist bot.

I've gotta be close to somebody.

We must keep this professional.

Don't be so cold.

I must maintain objectivity.

But I feel like...

I just feel like you and I have really

been going through it here, you know?

[ALARM BEEPING]

I feel like I have really been

connecting with you.

You know me.

Emotion overload.

I tell you... I just... Stop it!

[DR. BOT POWERS DOWN]

Anyway, um, as I was saying,

I really care about you

and I know you care about me.

[SIGHS]

[ROCK MUSIC

PLAYING OVER HEADPHONES]

Hey.

Clearly, you didn't hear me, Disco Dan.

What's up?

This is how we're doing things,

leaving the

compression valve open while we weld?

No. No.

Because if it is, fine.

I just need to know.

You got it.

Make sure that I'm clear with everything.

I need you to check humidity levels. It's

feeling a little humid to me, on the bridge.

Okay, well, let me just quickly

finish up with these tanks.

I'll get to those levels for you.

I don't need to remind you what happens

when moisture gets

into the current conductor.

I have 120 tanks left to seal

before we enter Zone Alpha.

I'll have to work through the night.

You wrote me up, now you want me

to go do maintenance work.

What do you want me to do?

I just think that you should be able

to prioritize within your own job.

That's what I'm looking for, Ted.

Good critical-thinking skills.

That's what impresses me.

Yeah.

Yeah, so I guess it was Daniel's genius

critical-thinking skills

that got him promoted...

What does Daniel have to do...?

...in one tenth the time

I've been working here.

Please excuse me, if I have to say I don't

appreciate I had to hear from Jessica...

What? What did Jessica say?

That Daniel's been promoted, when you

told me it was a family emergency.

I need you to understand

I have a family

and I've been working

my ass off down here.

Ted, will you just listen to me?

Daniel's mother has got lupus.

Lupus.

And that's why he had to go.

Because of the lupus.

This is what I'm talking about!

This is why I'm not admiral yet!

How am I supposed to soar with eagles

when I'm down here talking to turkeys!

[]

Hello.

Miss Marlowe, I'm guessing.

Yes, thank God.

I thought it'd be late.

It's a Christmas surprise.

Terrific.

Oh, thank you.

Uh-huh.

Thought you'd have a larger ship.

I can't fit my belongings...

We'll get your stuff there

before you arrive.

Don't you worry.

Oh, captain.

Yes.

May I have a word with you?

Hold on. Steve's mother

is in the hibernation chamber.

No kidding.

She wanted her body in suspended

animation until we reached Orion

and she could get that tumor removed.

Mm, yes.

Great. So, do I have to wake her

before we move her to the new ship?

Given that she's in hibernation,

do I really have to

ask her permission?

I'd hate to bother her. Plus,

she is so slow-moving. It would

be so much less of a headache

if we could ship her

in her storage unit with our stuff.

No problem.

Oh, fantastic.

[SIGHS]

You know, if it helps, my grandmother

was in hibernation for five years.

It doesn't.

I realize that I should've

checked with you first.

Yeah.

If it's a matter of care, I'd be happy to...

I'm allergic.

Oh.

So...

I just thought

because of the gerbils that...

Gerbils don't jump up on your lap

or leave hair all over the place.

Could we not

mention this to Sunshine?

Just keep it between us?

Sure.

[]

TED:

Hey.

What are you watching?

Home movies.

Yeah.

[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

DONNA:

Well, I don't care. I'm offended.

STEVE:
They're having a Christmas party,

otherwise they'd have one for us.

This one?

Fragile.

It just pisses me off.

When Charlotte and Stan left the ship

I threw them a huge

going-away party, right?

Birthdays, anniversaries,

I'm the one

putting the whole goddamn thing

together. I am done. Forget it.

On the new ship,

I am not lifting a finger for anyone.

Good.

You shouldn't have to.

Thank you so much for helping me

with this. I really appreciate it.

You can't imagine the pod this guy

brings. I had to cram everything in.

There's no straps or protections

for the breakables.

No, no, hold on a second.

Take this instead.

Thank you.

His mother.

She looks nice.

Mm.

When she's asleep.

Steve!

What?

Honey, there's no room.

We can't fit her.

We'll make room.

DONNA:
There's no room, honey.

She's gonna have to come later

with your sports equipment.

Oh, darn.

[SIGHS]

Would you mind terribly

taking care of all that?

Of, um, uh...

Yeah, sure. I mean,

that would be my pleasure.

No rush.

Okay, now what can

I get you for dessert?

Sundae!

Sundae! Okay.

SHIP:
Activating food service.

You have chosen take out.

Sundae.

[SIGHS]

Somebody ate them all again.

How about I get you

some rice pudding?

Oh, let me check the freezer unit.

Maybe there's an extra one

hiding in here.

Okay, let's see.

What's that?

Hmm? Oh.

Oh, darn.

I was hiding it from you.

Okay. Promise you won't tell anyone.

I got this for you for Christmas.

But Jessica says she's allergic

and can't have puppies

running all over the ship.

[]

Excuse me, sir.

I was hoping that we could

discuss Daniel's chart.

You gotta help me out here.

I don't know how they talk to their

superiors on space station Lorelei...

Space station Lorelei, sir,

is an impeccable place.

We were competent, we were efficient...

Yeah, I know.

I've read all the records.

It's not the point.

Well, then you know that I am more

than qualified for this job.

I'm simply saying that if we have

these graphs in front of us

we might as well use them.

I mean, I don't understand.

To ignore them is...

Sir, Daniel clearly spent a better part

of his tenure here working on these.
