WALL-E Page #4

Synopsis: In a distant, but not so unrealistic, future where mankind has abandoned earth because it has become covered with trash from products sold by the powerful multi-national Buy N Large corporation, WALL-E, a garbage collecting robot has been left to clean up the mess. Mesmerized with trinkets of Earth's history and show tunes, WALL-E is alone on Earth except for a sprightly pet cockroach. One day, EVE, a sleek (and dangerous) reconnaissance robot, is sent to Earth to find proof that life is once again sustainable. WALL-E falls in love with EVE. WALL-E rescues EVE from a dust storm and shows her a living plant he found amongst the rubble. Consistent with her "directive", EVE takes the plant and automatically enters a deactivated state except for a blinking green beacon. WALL-E, doesn't understand what has happened to his new friend, but, true to his love, he protects her from wind, rain, and lightning, even as she is unresponsive. One day a massive ship comes to reclaim EVE, but

You came a long way

for a drink of water.

Just needed someone

to look after you, that's...

We have to go back.

(BOSUN'S WHISTLE SOUNDS)

- Auto, come down here.

- Aye, aye, sir.

WALL-E.

(WALL-E SIGHS)

WALL-E.

Auto, EVE found the plant.

Fire up the holo-detector.

Not necessary, Captain.

You may give it to me.

- You know what? I should do it myself.

- Captain.

Sir, I insist you give me the plant.

- Auto, get out of my way.

- We cannot go home.

- What are you talking about? Why not?

- That is classified, Captain.

- Give me the plant.

- What do you mean, "classified"?

You don't keep a secret

from the captain.

Give me the plant.

- Tell me what's classified.

- The plant.

Tell me, Auto! That's an order.

Aye, aye, sir.

(JIN GLE PLA YIN G)

# Buy N Large is your superstore

We got all you need #

Just cut it off, will you?

(JIN GLE WINDS TO A S TOP)

(SIGHS) Hey, there, autopilots.

Got some bad news.

Um...

Operation Cleanup has,

well, failed.

Wouldn't you know,

rising toxicity levels have made life

unsustainable on Earth.

"Unsustainable"? What?

Darn it all, we're going to have

to cancel Operation Recolonize.

So,

(SIGHS IN EMBARRASSMEN T)

Just stay the course.

Um...

Rather than try and fix this problem,

it'll just be easier

for everyone to remain in space.

"Easier"?

- MAN:
(WHISPERIN G) Mr. President?

- I think...

- Huh?

- Sir, time to go.

Okay. I'm giving

Override Directive A 113.

Go to full autopilot.

Take control of everything,

and do not return to Earth.

Repeat, do not return to Earth.

(MUFFLED) Let's get

the heck out of here.

Now, the plant.

No. Wait a minute.

Computer, when was that message

sent out to the Axiom?

CO MPUTER:
Message received

in the year 2110.

That's... That's nearly 700 years ago!

(SCOFFS) Auto, things have changed!

We've got to go back.

Sir, orders are "do not return to Earth."

But life is sustainable now.

Look at this plant. Green and growing.

- It's living proof he was wrong.

- Irrelevant, Captain.

What? It's completely relevant!

Out there is our home.

Home, Auto.

And it's in trouble.

I can't just sit here and do nothing.

That's all I've ever done.

That's all anyone on this blasted ship

has ever done. Nothing!

On the Axiom you will survive.

- I don't want to survive. I want to live!

- Must follow my directive.

(EX CLAIMS IN FRUSTRATION)

I'm the captain of the Axiom.

We are going home today.
