Tomorrowland Page #2

The other is light and hope.

Which wolf wins?

Come on, Case.

Okay. Fine, don't answer.

Whichever one you feed.

Good.

Eat.

Come on.

Mutually assured destruction.

Today, any nuclear country or terrorist

is capable of inflicting damage

on a massive scale with weapons of...

Environmental entropy.

The polar ice caps

aren't waiting for us to decide

if climate change is real.

Rising coastal waters,

intensifying weather patterns.

They're all punching

our one-way ticket to...

Dystopia. By definition, "not perfect."

Huxley's Brave New World,

Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451,

Orwell's 1984.

Once considered fiction,

these futuristic novels

are actually happening right now

and they seem to be getting worse.

Yes, Miss Newton?

Can we fix it?

Sorry?

I get things are bad.

But what are we doing to fix it?

Have a good weekend, everybody.

- Newton?

- Yeah.

You made bail. Motorcycle is in impound.

You can pick up

your personal effects over there.

- Newton?

- Yeah.

All right.

All right.

Okay, one money clip, $47.32,

one Florida state driver's license,

one baseball cap.

You got one pin, one pack of Beemans

gum, and I don't know what this is.

Sign here.

- That's not mine.

- What's not yours?

The pin. I've never...

No way.

Have I been here the whole time?

I know.

No!

I got it.

You have no idea

of the strings I had to pull

to keep Homeland Security

from pressing charges, Casey.

This is not just vandalism. All right?

- It's NASA. It's government property.

- Have you ever seen this before?

You're not getting it, are you?

I am very upset with you!

I get it, you're angry. I understand.

But I just need you to look at it.

Does it look weird?

- Don't touch it!

- Why are you yelling at me?

Not while you're driving, Dad.

It's dangerous.

Just pull over.

Pull over.

I swear to God, Case,

if you're on drugs...

I'm not on drugs. Just look.

I need you to be NASA Dad now.

New Frontier Dad. Okay?

All will be explained

as soon as you touch this pin.

What is...

It's not working?

You're not seeing this?

Stop it.

Honestly, Casey,

I don't know what's gotten into you.

Middle of the night...

- A little help, guys?

- Zen move, Dexter.

Totally swift.

Come on, idiots.

We're gonna be late for R and D.

The HoverRail will be

arriving in one minute.

- Are you coming?

- You can see me?

We don't have all day.

Wait for us!

Northbound line now departing.

Next stop, Spaceport.

Wow! Look at the rings!

Wow! Cool!

Be sure to follow

the procedures strictly.

You know how you need your sleep.

Dad, you're embarrassing me.

- Do you promise to transmit every day?

- Even when you're out of range.

Come on, what's the big deal?

We're only going 20 light-years out.

Now arriving, Spaceport.

Come on, please.

I'll be okay.

Hey, guys. Over here.

- Hey!

- Hey!

Come on, please! I love you guys.

You're going to make me cry

in front of my friends, okay?

Bye! Bye!

Come on. We saved a seat just for you.

Now you run out of power?

- Nate, wake up!

- I didn't do it!

Dad changed

the password to his computer.

Do you know it?

You smell like swamp.

Tell me the password

and you can go back to sleep.

Your phone has Internet.

- My phone got soaked in a lagoon.

- Fine.

What are we looking for?

Here we go.

Stop! That's it.

"Extremely rare collectible pin

"commemorating the 1964 World's Fair."

"Experts and purveyors of the most

extensive selection of space-age

"collectibles in the world."

This site is like, ancient.

Okay. Give me their number.

- They don't have a number.

- They don't have a number?

They have an address.

Okay, look. You are gonna

tell Dad you woke up, saw me leaving.

I told you I was going camping with

friends, and I will call tomorrow.

- Can you do that for me?

- Only if you tell me what's going on.

I think that I saw...

That I went to the future.

Can I come, too?

Not yet.

Hello! Is Casey Newton home?

No.

She ordered some cookies

and I'm delivering them.

- You're a Girl Scout?

- Of course I am.

- Why aren't you wearing a uniform?

- It's at the cleaners.

Those are Oreos.

Could you please tell me

when Casey will be back?

She went camping with some friends.

She's gonna be gone

for a couple of days.

Is that what you've told your parents?

- Yeah.

- But it's not true.

- Yeah, it is.

- No, Nathan. It's not.

Don't ask me how I know your name.

I know it the same way

I know that you are lying to me.

Are you from the future?

You clearly understand.

So why aren't you

telling me what I need to know?

That pin thing, it stopped working.

She went to find another one.

Nathan, where is she looking?

That's one small step for man,

one giant leap for mankind.

Hello?

Sale this week.

Front three shelves. 70% off.

No, thanks.

I'm not here to buy anything.

I was hoping that

you could tell me about this.

Hugo!

Hugo!

One second.

Welcome to Blast From The...

Thank you for the help, dear.

Well, if you just kept it open,

you wouldn't need my help.

If I kept it open, it would ruin the effect,

which is everything.

Pardon my wife.

She has no respect for showmanship.

- Hugo Gernsback. How may I help you?

- She has a pin.

She has a pin.

I saw that you were

looking for one online...

- Where did you get it?

- What can you tell me about it?

I can't tell you anything about it

unless you tell me who gave it to you.

I'm not going first.

Well, it seems

our business here is done.

It seems it is.

Saw something, didn't you?

When you touched it.

Something incredible.

- It's real?

- Of course it is.

Don't ask me how.

These people have developed technologies

we haven't even dreamed of yet.

Wait. What people?

Have you ever wondered what would happen

if all the geniuses,

the artists, the scientists,

the smartest,

most creative people in the world,

decided to actually change it?

But where?

Where could they even do such a thing?

They'd need a place

free from politics and bureaucracy,

distractions, greed.

A secret place where they could build

whatever they were

crazy enough to imagine.

"Plus Ultra" they call themselves.

The only way to see it, however,

is through contact with one of these.

Why did they make them?

What are they for?

Rumor has it

- they were about to go public.

- Yeah.

Share what they had built

with the whole world.

Unfortunately, that never happened.

Why not?

I think we've shared enough, young lady.

So, as we've decided to trust you,

please trust us

and tell me where'd you get it?

I don't know.

What do you mean, honey?

I kind of got arrested

and it was in with my stuff.

- In with your stuff?

- Yeah, I don't know how it got there.

What was that?

- Tell us who gave it to you. Please.

- No one gave it to me!

That's very unlikely, sweetheart.

You know what?

I think I'm gonna go now.

Thanks for your help.

$1,000 if you tell me

where you acquired the pin.

I don't know!

- $10,000.

- Was it a girl? A little girl?

I don't know
