The Man Who Fell to Earth Page #7

Just an animal,

a stupid creature.

I want to give you something.

Here you are.

It's my last present.

It's the only thing

that's really mine to give.

I don't want it.

Why not?

It doesn't fit, Tommy.

It doesn't fit!

It doesn't fit!

Now we're going to take

some photographs of you.

- That's all right, Nurse.

- Very straightforward.

The first picture will be

a routine photo of your retinas.

- That's for a simple identification of your

blood vessel pattern. - What are you doing?

And the other is

an equally straightforward X-ray.

That's so we can see the ridges

on the inside of your occipita -

- You don't understand. The flash of

an X-ray- - Nurse, will you please-

- This won't hurt at all. I assure you.

- There's no flash with an X-ray.

- You can't see an X-ray.

- I can.

- I can see X-rays.

- Here, drink this.

I can see something.

Are you wearing contact lenses?

- I can see something inside there.

- Please don't hurt my eyes.

Tweezers, please.

No, you won't be able

to take them out.

I've been dealing with lenses

for 20 years. It won't hurt.

I'll do it.

Don't touch my eyes.

Give me the tweezers, please.

- Hand me the tweezers.

- No, I can't let you do it. I can't.

Give Mr. Newton another drink.

Please don't do it.

Please. I beg you.

- Please don't be excited.

- Call Dr. Bryce. He knows.

- Call him.

- I don't know who Dr. Bryce is.

- I want to go home.

- Yes, yes, of course.

- I want to go home.

- Very soon now.

- Finish your drink.

- Please don't do it. You don't understand.

- All right, Doctor. When you're ready.

- Mary-Lou!

- I'm ready.

- Help me! Don't!

No. No!

They're stuck. They're stuck.

I'll never get them off.

Twenty, 19...

18, 17...

16, 15...

14, 13...

12, 11...

Can you imagine the cost? Spaceships!

Why the hell do they have to build

these things anyway?

- Stand by. Five seconds. - It's such

a waste when people - I don't know.

- It's such a waste of money.

- Destruct!

Zero.

- I'd like another one, please.

- All right.

Honey, I'd like to try this.

Oh, I'll get it.

- How much, please?

- 26.86.

Thirty.

Change.

- Thank you. Merry Christmas.

- Uh-huh.

One.

Two. Want a drink?

Mmm. Why not?

Three.

- Four.

- I give to you

- And you give to me

- Oh, shoot!

True love

I believe Christmas

is less commercial this year.

So on and on

I'd like to go someplace for Christmas

where it's real hot.

- Tropical.

- True love

True love

- dFor you and I

- I guess I must be feeling the cold.

Have a guardian angel

On high

With nothing to do

But to give to you

And to give to me

Love

Forever true

I think that love is comin'back

I think romance is on the rise

And all across the world

All the boys and girls are making eyes

Could I listen to a track off this?

Yeah. Let me see.

Yeah, sure.

Come this way.

There you are.

Thank you.

Mr. Newton?

- Nathan Bryce.

- That's right.

May I sit down?

Hmm? Go ahead.

Strangely enough,

I was thinking of you just the other day.

How did you find me?

Your record.

- Hmm?

- It took me a while, but I traced you.

- Did you like it?

- Not much.

Oh. Well, I didn't make it

for you anyway.

Who'd you make it for then?

For my wife.

She'll get to hear it one day...

on the radio.

We hear most everything

on the radio these days.

Do you see anything of Mary-Lou?

Not much.

I don't want her to get lonely.

She must still have enough money.

Don't you feel bitter

about it - everything?

Bitter? No.

We'd have probably treated you the same

if you'd come over to our place.

Is there no chance then?

Of what?

Of course there's a chance.

You're the scientist, Dr. Bryce.

You must know

there's always a chance.

Do you need money?

Let me know if you do, will you?

I may not see so well anymore -

Still have money.

Oh!

Ah.

I think maybe Mr. Newton

has had enough, don't you?

I think maybe he has.

Ah.
