The Space Between Us Page #2

Garner, stop. Once upon a time

deep in the 15 acre wood...

a frog, owl sitting on his door step.

Centaur, look who just bypassed

East Texas infrastructure firewall program

ENTER NUMBER IN MISSION

Mission number.

We're running out of time and...

"Mother Nature does not negotiate."

Letter to the White House and

he is twelve years. Blah, blah.

- Sorry, if we only have time

for a couple of questions.- Hey, Mom.

WHERE ARE YOU?

To be continued.

Colony 52-B,

report to the automatic airlock.

You're late.

Hey, Kendra. what's up?

Have you seen this?

I mean So cool.

- I mean

- Works better if you turn it on.

The irrigator on 23 is blocked.

By the way, I can't reach Centaur.

What have you done with him this time?

- Are you checking up me?

- Next time, you know

I'll be checking up on Centaur

Yeah, who checks up on me.

I don't fool me, Gardner Elliot.

You never have

23 should be clear

Really?

Thanks a lot.

Here.

- Thanks

Ok, get on the 17 now.

We won't make you indespensible yet.

How can I be indispensable

if no one knows I exist?

DO NOT USE ALL YOUR MUSCLES

ONLY THE ONES THAT YOU WANT TO KEEP

Open.

Play.

Virtual visit

Come.

You want it? Get it, come get it.

Go fetch it.

What would you do without me?

I'm gonna miss you.

- I'm miss you too.

Come on.

Replay.

Memo.

Print.

- Centaur, some privacy.

- Again?

All you ever ask for is privacy these days.

I remember time when you and I...

Where's the code?

Hi, Tulsa.

Stay with me.

- Why?

Because misery loves company.

- What are you miserable?

Just Dealing with basic people at school.

Everybody is always fronting.

Nobody is ever real, you know.

My best friend is not even real.

- Tell me about it.

Anyway, the second I turn 18,

I'm so outta here. Emancipation...

"Emancipation, mobility, music."

No, Tulsa, I just wish I could go with you.

You've been saying that since last summer.

And you can.

- No I can't.

- Oh, right, you can't leave your house.

It's not a house,

it's a penthouse on Park Avenue.

I can't leave because of my disease.

Osteogenesis imperfecta.

- Yeah, still don't believe you.

Will your foster dad be unhappy?

- Yeah, no more checks from the state.

The study lab is over. Gotta go.

See you in the funny papers

What does that mean?

You always say that. What does it mean?

I do not know. I had a foster sister in

Oklahoma who used to say it all the time.

Just different way of saying 'goodbye'.

I like it. Talk tomorrow?

I'm not going anywhere.

Where did you get this movie?

One of the German scientists

who was here last month.

How do you know what's going on?

- Excuse me, please?

Excuse me?

- It's easy

You see those men there? They are angels.

They look over the people on earth

and make sure they are okay.

Do you see that angel?

He is gonna fall in love with her

and fall to earth.

You're a romantic.

Then he won't be an angel anymore.

He'll be just like her.

Hey, Tulsa, give us even a ride, you slut.

What up, Chuck? Don't get up because of me.

"Hi, honey, how was your day?

Making new friends yet?"

Oh you... boy am I fighting 'em off?

I'm the most popular girl in my class.

Did you get Thursday's check yet?

I would not want you...

Wait a second. It's Thursday. Hey, hey

Chuck, Chuck, wake up.

You gotta do the Sanders farm.

Hey come on, wake up.

You have one single property.

Pretty simple alright? 15 minutes tops.

DISARMED:

Okay, the starter.

Try the brakes.

It doesn't have brakes.

Alright Check the sprays.

- Checked

- Not while I'm standing behind the plane.

Ok, we are gonna loose some

of the property. You do it.

You can fly this thing. You do it.

Awesome parenting, seriously

Risk my life for a 190 plucks.

Good to know how my life is worth to you.

- Help

- It's okay. I got you.

You're okay. You're okay.

I'm right here.

Are you insane? Do you think that the

protocol does not apply to you?

You could have caused an atmospheric

breach, not to mention die.

No body rides unaccompanied,

no matter who they are

Gardner, What is going on here?

This is not like you.

You wouldn't understand.

My mother is out there.

How did you get past the electronic lock?

That magnetic implant

is there to monitor the growth of

your organs. It doesn't serve as a pass key

- And how do you even learn how to do that?

- Raised by scientists in a bubble.

Open.

That plaque for your mother

is just a piece of metal in the ground.

Okay?

Her ashes was spread

across the Pacific Ocean.

You deserve to know that.

She's not out there, Gardner.

She is in you.

I do not like to go to sleep

with us in a fight.

We are not in a fight.

This is how you greet an old friend?

If he is unannounced, yes.

It's about the boy.

Mr. Shepherd, you have no idea

how smart he is.

He is being denied connection.

Not to do this at this point

I'm sorry. It would be inhumane.

Miss Wayne, I am touched by your concern,

I really am...

But none of this matters, if he

can't survive. We have been through this.

For starters we will have to add

carbon nanotubes to strengthen

his bone density.

It's a very complex procedure.

It's, it;s... Too risky. I'm Sorry.

Tom, I can not sign on to this.

With all due respect, Nathaniel,

I am not asking. I am telling.

You've been gone for 16 years.

- Have you run this one NASA?

NASA has always felt conflicted over this.

They want to do the right thing,

which this is.

They want to bring the boy home.

Look, This is our chance

to turn bad PR to good PR.

This has nothing to do with PR.

I'm talking about a boy's life.

Hang on, hang on. Like it or not,

but I'm still the founder.

Like it or not,

East Texas is still my brainchild.

You know, you got a lot more faith

in how the public will respond than I do.

I have some news.

Guess what.

You are taking me to Bora-Bora?

That was a joke. As you were.

They may have found a cure for my disease.

Okay, Mine was closer to the truth.

But mine is the truth.

It will involve an operation.

And some physical therapy.

Pick it up, Pick it up,

you got it, keep going. there you go.

Remember why are you running for.

Assuming all goes well,

I'll be coming to see you.

Cool, and when is this happening?

In a few months.

There is a longer travelling.

Do not take forever. Once the

foster care spits me out, I'm gone.

See you in the flying papers.

File 32:
human courtship.

Here we are. Allow me?

Well, I guess chivalry not entirely dead.

At least not in Nantucket.

"At least not in Nantucket." Repeat.

Here we are. Allow me, won't you?

Well, I guess chivalry not entirely dead

at least not in Nantucket.

Bravo. Well done.

Are you gonna visit your ex-husband?

I've hacked into the scientist's records.

You are the clever computer stalker.

Why did you get divorced?

He changed when he found out

we couldn't have children.

Did that make you sad that

you could not have children?

That's a tough one.

It meant I did not have to choose.

Motherhood was not a dream
