Space Station 76 (2014)

[bunniefuu]

JESSICA: I've always been amazed

that asteroids can fly in groups

for millions of years

and never touch each other or connect.

They are dead rock

so they find their perfect orbit

and stick to it.

We also want to find

that place of perfection.

But we're not asteroids.

We change, and that's the problem.

The more you try to create a paradise

the more you will resent the prison.

And all you're left with is dreams

of a future

that never happened.

City in my head

Heaven in my body

Utopia

It's time for me

For me to go

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

SHIP:

Unidentified pod approaching.

Scan ship identification code.

SHIP:

[PANEL BEEPING]

SHIP:

Counting down. Five, four,

three, two, one...

[BEEPING STOPS]

Lieutenant Marlowe,

you're cleared for landing.

Welcome to Omega 76.

Your room is number 3 on B Level.

Get situated, report to Medical.

I'll meet you on the bridge at 1800 hours.

SHIP:

Docking bay door opening.

Docking bay door closing.

[PANEL BEEPS]

SHIP:

Welcome to the Omega 76 refueling station.

Are you in need of food, lodging or fuel?

Uh, no, thank you.

[ALARM BEEPS]

SHIP:

Caution. UV rays present.

Mom?

SHIP:

Main level. Elevator doors closing.

Hello.

Hmm.

SHIP:

Lieutenant Commander Marlowe,

please report to the medical capsule.

It gives shots.

It's just a routine physical.

They need to make sure

I didn't bring anything

onto the ship

they don't know about.

MEDBOT:

Initiating diagnostic mammography.

[SIGHS]

Glandular tissue results are normal.

[BEEPS]

It's cold.

MEDBOT:

Lieutenant Commander Marlowe,

I have detected some irregularities

in the uterus.

I'm aware of the irregularities.

Dr. Bot, hi.

Welcome, Misty.

I need to tell you

I have just been feeling

so much better

since we started treatment.

I mean, like, even just my dreams

have just been better.

You know, like, I haven't been

having all those feelings

and I'm just really feeling

in the now.

Feelings can sometimes pull one out

of the now and put them in the then.

Live in the now, not in the then.

I don't wanna be in the then.

I wanna be in the now.

Talking about the now

can put one in the then.

I don't want to be in the then, I want

to be in the now. I wanna move forward...

Don't move too far forward,

you'll be out of the now.

Not too far forward.

Stay in the now.

I want to stay in the now.

I am in the now. Right now.

This knob is the ship's thrust control,

which works on a sliding scale of 50.

Obviously, we'd never take it that far.

If, in the case of a proximity warning,

this red light here will go off

and an alert will sound,

which brings me

to the navigation systems.

Have you worked

with any of the F series?

I have worked

with the entire F series, sir.

F15?

Yes, sir.

You've navigated using the F15?

Yes.

I don't know why you didn't stop me.

I'm sorry, I didn't want to interrupt you.

Well, the F15... Wow, wow.

Well, little lady, I'm impressed.

It's Jessica.

What?

My name is Jessica, sir.

I know your name,

Lieutenant Marlowe. Thank you.

Captain Glenn Terry,

here is your Harvey Wallbanger.

Uh, I didn't order that.

But sir...

I'd never order an alcoholic beverage

on the bridge.

You ordered at exactly...

Ted ordered that.

My records indicate you ordered...

Take that to Ted.

So, well, I guess I can skip

the how-do-you-do's,

and put you right to work.

That's what I'm here for, sir.

SHIP:

Attention, crew.

Tonight's luau begins in the rec room

at 1800 hours.

[GUITAR STRUMMING CHORDS]

Could we not do that tonight?

Yeah.

Maintenance Technician Ted,

here is your Harvey Wallbanger.

I didn't order that.

I'll take it. Mm.

How was your day?

I just had some issues from today.

Uh, honey, you shouldn't

take those with alc...

Anyway, my issue...

Your issue, yeah.

My issue is we

can barely afford to buy

Sunshine's school tuition next year.

I'll homeschool Sunshine, so don't worry.

Okay. Yeah, should I, um...? Do you want

me to, maybe, help you out with that?

We shouldn't be talking

about all this stuff

right before we go to bed.

It's really stressful.

Okay. All right.

Your whole vibe is just stressing me.

Yeah.

[]

MISTY:

A female captain?

Lieutenant Commander.

There aren't any lady captains.

Like real captains,

as far as I know. Right?

Right.

Well, she just better wear a bra.

That's all I'm saying.

Anyway, I do not know

what the fuss is all about.

Can you imagine

if I had to run this ship?

I can't even make

our garbage disposal work.

I would crash us right into a sun.

It's a good thing you're not

in control of the ship.

I know, that's what I said.

It's okay. I should get going.

Aah!

Ha-ha-ha!

Hey, how have things been

with you guys since the baby?

Great.

Yeah?

No, I mean, are you guys...?

Is she still...?

Well, doesn't Misty?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, man, all the time.

It took a while, you know?

Yep, we kept it alive

during the pregnancy.

Found ways to get around it.

[CHUCKLES]

You see the new girl?

No.

Nice a*s.

I'm a leg man, you know?

Nice legs. Nice t*ts. Nice a*s.

Oh, I would love to:

[MOANING]

[GRUNTS]

[LAUGHS]

Would you?

What?

Ever cheat?

Hell, no.

[DISC RATTLES INTO SLOT]

f*ck, yes.

Welcome wagon! I'm Donna.

Oh.

Greetings. We are so happy

that you're here.

Really, thank you.

That's a... That...

Tada! I brought you

a little something.

For me? Wow, thank you.

This is homemade paper?

Did you make this?

Mm-hm.

I'm very into arts and crafts.

You'll learn that about me.

And I make my own jewelry as well.

That's very kind of you.

Thank you.

DONNA: It's just a fun survival

kit that I put together.

Just a bunch of helpful things.

Oh, don't be precious. It's a little packet

of detergent to get you started

and also a map of the ship.

Great, this is great. Thank you.

Oh, it's nothing.

Very thoughtful.

It's nothing. So my number's

right there up at the top.

Listen, I know everything

about this ship

so you just call me

if there's anything that you need.

Great, thank you.

I will. Thank you.

Great. Well, I'm gonna take off

and get back to some things.

I understand.

Yeah. So...

You have a good day.

Thank you.

DONNA: Carol, listen,

I need to talk to you about something.

Wow.

[]

All you people are f*cking imbeciles!

Okay, what if we...

There's no "we," only you.

You. Do your job on your own!

Ahem. I am and I was, but I...

No. No. There is no buts.

I'm not interested in your buts.

Excuse me,

you guys got water showers?

Yeah. Down the hall on the right.

Comes with a free breakfast.

It's gonna feel so good

to get clean again.

[]

Uh...

Hey, it is so great to have

more estrogen on the ship.

Nice to meet you.

Just great to have more female energy.

Really balances things out.

How are you?

That's my Sunshine.

She's so beautiful. Really, I mean...

Yeah.

How old is she?

How old do you think she is?

Like, a guess?

Um, like, I guess she's about 7?

I like to think of her

as an old soul, so...

Oh. She may be. Yeah.

But how old is she in people years?

I don't really like

to label her in ages.

Yeah, I just don't really believe

in ageism, so...

Well, children are really wonderful.

We get wrapped up in our everyday lives.

Yeah. That's true.

How are you?

What do you got there?

You know, I was...

Oh, um, well...

Ah, um...

I was gonna say if you ever

needed someone to babysit or to...

Wow, I am picking up such

a great maternal energy from you.

Well, yeah, kids are great.

Oh, my God. It's really beautiful.

Why don't you have children?

Oh, my, you know, work and time...

Oh, you've gotta have a child.

You really should.

It's amazing. Look at her.

Yeah. Yeah, she's very beautiful.

I would love to. I mean, when I'm ready.

Oh, but don't wait, okay? Don't wait.

There's never the right time,

never enough money.

You have to feel the energy

It's not about money.

And commit and really decide.

I think the energy really opens up.

I will. I will. I will.

Right now, it's about career for me and I...

No, times have changed, okay?

You can have your work, have your baby.

You just have to do it.

You just have to have your baby.

You know what?

I can't have a child,

so I won't be having a child.

You can have a baby. Anyone can

have a baby. What are you talking about?

You know, I have

an actual medical situation

where I can't actually

physically have a child.

Do you know what I mean?

Do you know what I'm saying?

Oh, my... Oh, my God.

Oh, God. I'm so sorry.

No, I mean, you didn't know.

No, I didn't. I just... I...

But I'm so sorry for you. It is horrible.

No, it's not horrible. It's okay.

I'm so embarrassed. Look at me.

I have everything and I am sitting here

taking all of my blessings

for granted.

You know, and I can have a child

and here I am not even realizing

that you just can't and...

You know, we all have things, and I have

a career and I have a life, you know?

And it's not the only way I, you know,

can have a child.

I can adopt and it'll work out.

You know, I'll have one.

It's not a big deal for me.

Hey, hey, hey.

Don't get defensive, okay?

Um...

I would really appreciate if you

didn't say anything to anyone, please.

Of course not. No.

Okay. Thank you.

You're very lucky.

I am so lucky.

GLENN: Hello.

Hi.

I'd like to be captain.

Uh, well, um, that's...

It's a lot of responsibility.

A lot of long hours, a lot of...

Do you like your break?

Yeah, I do. I like it a lot.

It's one of my most favorite things

about being a captain.

Mommy said it's a bad thing

if you smoke.

Yeah, it's bad. It's bad stuff.

We learned in school

that's bad for your lungs.

It can turn them black.

Really? Wow, black.

That's a... That's bad news.

But thank you for the tip. Okay.

Do you like your job?

Yeah, I like my job.

How much do you like it?

I like it a lot. I love it.

I'm a very, very lucky man.

One day I made

my own spaceship

and I was headed toward ground,

and we couldn't...

Isn't it really, really boring

hanging out with me up here?

It's got to be boring to you.

My mom says...

No, no, no.

No mom. Go find your mom.

Search the entire ship for your mother.

Okay?

It's my break too, you know.

[]

Honey, Sunshine, no. No, not yet, okay?

The baby's too young.

You can't come and visit.

You don't know about germs on fingers

and it's just too soon.

I'm not gonna tell you again. Thank you,

sweetie. I'm very sorry. But thank you.

[]

Whoa! Whoa.

Hello. Please watch where you step.

Hey, yeah. Wow.

Got a lot of new plants here.

Yeah, I'm experimenting

with a new soy-based...

There were some plants over there

that I was taking care of.

Yes, don't worry.

I moved them to the back.

Okay. I'll be right back, okay?

Hi.

SUNSHINE: Wow.

You never come to the arboretum?

No, we look at trees

in the projection room.

No way.

You've got to have the real thing.

You've got to be able to touch them

and smell them.

They give off oxygen, you know.

Did you know that? The stuff we breathe.

There was a time when Earth

was covered in them

and the animals would run freely

amongst them.

Hey, don't worry about those plants

back there. I'll take care of those.

I can look after them.

No, you know what?

They're just really...

They're finicky and I'll just... I'll do it.

Yeah. Sunshine, come on.

Would it be okay if Sunshine

stayed here with me for a little while?

Sure. Yeah, her mom

likes her home by 5.

Okay.

I'll see you later. Have fun, you two.

[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]

[EASY-LISTENING MUSIC

DONNA:

Hmm.

[CRYING]

Hmm.

[CRIES]

Shh.

Oh. Don't pick her up, sweetie.

She needs her rest.

When will the babies come?

Well, any day now.

Why don't you go get a sock out of your

dad's drawer and put it in there with her.

That should make her

more comfortable.

MISTY:

Where are you?

Sir, uh, yesterday on

the ascension over the neutrite

I noticed that you embanked

rather quickly?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Well, what happened was

we ran into an asteroidal pocket.

Didn't really show up on the radar.

If you'd have been here last month,

you would've seen it.

But...

Kind of came out of nowhere.

I also did notice...

Yeah, I'm gonna have to ask you

to stay on that, now,

if we're gonna discuss this.

I also noticed when I was down

in the spacial archives

a compilation of graphs

that I guess my predecessor...

Is his name Daniel, sir?

[SOFTLY] Yeah.

Sir, Daniel?

[IN NORMAL VOICE] Yes.

Yes. That Daniel put together

very, very well, I might add.

I mean, they're really extraordinary,

graphing the trajectories and the way

for us to avoid asteroidal pockets.

Yeah, I know, it's wonderful.

It's a very interesting idea.

Well, I mean, I think this whole

"coming from out of nowhere" thing

is a little dangerous.

Don't you think?

Yeah, yeah. No, I'll give it

some consideration later.

Right now I'm a little busy

with my work.

Well, I actually, sir,

I have them here.

Right.

If you'd like to look at them.

Yeah, I'm just a little busy

with my work.

Okay. Um, I will...

I'll just leave them here for you

and maybe you could take a look

at them when you're not...

I have to speak to something.

I don't know if my manner is brusque

or off-putting at times.

I don't know if as a woman

you find it that way.

But I'm just trying

to do my work here, okay?

I'm very pleased with your work.

You're well-trained and efficient.

I think this will be a good experience,

a, uh, learning experience for both of us.

Right?

Right.

So I'm really happy

that you have new ideas.

And I will let you know

when I'm ready to look at them.

No misunderstanding, sir.

I think men and women, we're all efficient.

Very good.

It makes the mommy eat them.

You have five more.

Just relax and let the pill work.

You don't give drugs to a 7 year old!

You could have k*lled our daughter!

[DOOR OPENS]

Hi.

Hey.

Sorry, my hand was just recharging.

The captain's really getting on me

about the hydrogen tanks.

I'm sorry. If I'd known

you'd needed those,

I would have gotten them for you.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't

have come up so late.

No, no, blame me, you know?

He blames me enough. Yeah.

It's just one more thing.

Tell me about it.

He does blame me?

No. I'm... Not you.

I'm... He blames me.

Oh...

He blames everyone.

Don't listen to him.

He's so full of hot air.

I don't think he got a degree

in bedside manner, you know?

Make sure the intercom's not on.

Oh, right. Beep, you're an as*h*le.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

I'm sorry, I feel like I interrupted you.

No, no, how's your

first month on the ship?

You know...

Um...

Could I ask you a question?

Sure. Yeah.

Um, do you...?

Why did Daniel leave?

Oh, his family emergency.

But the captain told me

that he got promoted.

No, no, it was a family emergency.

I mean, it's not that easy to get promoted.

You know, you have to put in your time

on a smaller ship, so...

Like, I have two more years here

and then I...

[CHUCKLES]

I'm sorry, I'm boring you.

No, you're not.

Would you like to sit down or just...

Uh, sure. Thank you.

Yeah.

Ah!

Oh, God! Sorry. Sorry about that.

Um...

Sorry.

Yeah, so I, uh...

We have two more years here

and then we get sent

to a larger ship

which I'm really hoping is

Starship 8 because they have

kids running around everywhere.

I think Sunshine really needs that.

Oh, she's wonderful. She's extraordinary.

Yeah, she's great. She's great, yeah.

And Misty's...

She's good.

Yeah, she's good, so...

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, that's Sunshine.

Heh-heh.

We don't let the robots clean up in here

because Misty and I grew up on Earth.

We didn't have robots

to do everything for you, so...

I just feel like it's important for Sunshine

to learn to do things for herself.

Yeah, I've always wondered what it

would be like on Earth. I've never been.

You've never been to Earth?

No.

You're kidding me? Oh.

I kid you not.

Wow, you're really missing out.

That's what they say.

So, what were you, a ship child?

Did you grow up on a moon colony?

No. My parents were separated so I just,

you know, went ship to ship.

Oh.

Yeah, I had...

You okay?

Yeah. Sorry, it's...

It gets a little stiff sometimes.

Wow. Can I...?

It's a Mach II right?

Yeah. Yeah.

Wow. That's from before

the Quasar Revolution.

That's incredible.

Yeah, it's...

Oh. Uh, sorry.

It's okay. It's okay.

You just gotta...

It has a mind of its own.

Yes.

It's military requisitions, so just gotta

take what they give you, you know?

You're so brave.

Well...

What battle was it from?

No, I'm sorry, I understand if

you don't want to talk about it.

[DOOR OPENS]

You don't have to say.

Oh, hi.

Hey.

I was just programming the meals.

Oh, your food programs,

Hey, you know what? Let's have a drink.

Oh, God, no. I...

No, no, you have to!

Let's have a drink.

No. Thank you.

Honey, she's got a lot of work.

No, don't leave.

Let's stay. Just a night cap.

Just a night cap?

The tanks, maybe 9:30 tomorrow.

I think the captain would like them

by then, just so you know.

Yes, sir.

Oh, really? So we're keeping secrets

from your mom now?

Is that it? Secrets from Mommy?

I don't think so.

Ow! Daddy, your hand.

Okay, we can play the game.

All right, but you have to promise me

you're not gonna tell anybody.

I promise.

Okay.

I'll go turn it down.

[SHIP BEEPING]

SHIP:

Warning. Reducing gravity.

All right, spaceship Sunshine

on the launching pad. Are you ready?

SHIP: In five, four...

Yes, sir.

SHIP:...three, two, one.

In three, two, one.

Blast off!

Strolling along country roads

With my baby

It starts to rain

It begins to pour

Whoa. Look at that!

Without an umbrella

We're soaked to the skin

I feel a shiver run up my spine

I feel the warmth of her hand in mine

TED:

That's good.

Ooh, I hear laughter in the rain

Walking hand in hand

With the one I love

You're amazing. Whoa!

Ooh, how I love the rainy days

And the happy way I feel inside

[LAUGHING]

[SIGHS]

I feel the warmth of her hand in mine

Ooh, I hear laughter in the rain

Walking hand in hand

With the one I love

What are you doing?

Hey. Oh. This plant needs to be pruned

in order to grow right.

Oh.

So, I was... It's looking good.

So why are you growing this plant?

Just out of curiosity.

Oh, it's a hobby.

Oh.

I did a scan on it.

I hope you don't mind.

Just to see what its components were.

Its chemical name is

delta nine tetrahydrocannabinol.

I... That... It needs to be...

There's medicine... Medicinal purposes.

And because it's in the flowering stage,

you'll find it would grow a lot better

if you reduce the humidity

by watering it only once a day

with the lights on

for only half the day.

SHIP: Engine powering up.

Engine powering down.

Engine... Engine powering down.

Engine powering up.

Engine powering down.

[LAUGHING]

[COUGHING]

Entire ship doesn't even get that...

What it was even... Meant for it.

And no one...

But that's what makes it so wonderful.

Ooh! Turn around!

It's not even that big of a deal.

It shouldn't even be.

Let's not even try for it.

Ehh...

Consider it part of

the scientific observational process.

Heh.

No, no it...

[]

It's important for you to understand

its effects on humans.

You're bad.

Just inhale it.

There you go.

Yeah.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Come on. Come on. Come on.

[TED & JESSICA LAUGHING]

Good day. Yes.

Good day, sir.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

[]

What did I forget?

Oh! My folders. My folders.

What do you got there?

Nothing.

Show me what's in your hand.

Sunshine, what are you doing?

It's the last one. I'm setting it free.

Sunshine.

It can live here.

No, it can't live here

because it needs its mother.

No, she'll eat it.

She ate the others.

And if I leave it there, she'll eat it.

It can't live without its mom.

It can't live on its own.

Then why does she k*ll it?

Sometimes mommy gerbils,

they worry so much

about their babies

that they would k*ll it before they would

see anything bad happen to it.

Well, then you'll be his mommy.

Please?

Okay.

Gently.

It'll grow up in here.

And when it's big enough,

we can put it back with its mommy.

And she'll be so happy.

Well, she ate

the whole thing this time.

No, Jessica's taking care of it.

It seems like Jessica

is really reaching out to you.

I guess you could say that.

Mm...

Do you like her?

She's okay. How about you?

Not really.

No, I just think she seems

really manipulative.

Do you know what that means?

No.

It means she's a bad person.

I feel like she's just a little bit

jealous of me because I have you.

[CHUCKLES]

Do you pick up on that?

I guess so.

I know you don't like her

because she's jealous

but I do like her

because she's really nice to me.

No, she's not nice to you.

What has she done that's nice?

I've never had any friends before.

[SCOFFS]

That's not true.

I'm your best friend.

I know, but besides you and Dad

and the captain.

Oh.

Okay. Hey.

Come here, sweetie pie.

Don't you think it's a

little sad, really, that

a woman as old as she is is trying

to be your friend?

It's, heh, creepy, almost.

Why would you think that?

Well, it's just I think

she seems like a lonely,

jealous, and manipulative person.

You know, I walked into the bridge

the other night and...

God, you wouldn't believe

what she was doing.

What did she do?

Well, um...

She stole some food.

Yeah, I think she's got some real issues

with food and... Gosh, I wasn't gonna

say anything, but actually,

it was your special sundae.

Yeah, I mean, she didn't even care

that it was your special dessert.

She just went ahead

and ate it anyway.

It's just a sundae.

Whose side are you on? Hmm?

[]

[SIGHS]

[DOOR OPENS]

Ah. He is relentless.

Heh. Jealous?

You bet.

Some wine?

No thanks.

Mm.

Good news.

We are leaving in two weeks

for Starship 8.

[ALL GASP]

That's right. He's gonna be overseeing

all of the docking bays.

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 g*dd*mn 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*cked-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*cking 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 a*s 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 g*dd*mn 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.

Sir, did you not respect Daniel?

Did you not like him?

[]

Sir, why did Daniel leave?

What did I tell you?

Well, you said that he was promoted.

Exactly. Exactly. He was promoted.

All right, you know what?

I want to settle this once and for all.

There seems to be

a little confusion about this Daniel thing.

That's really not necessary.

Attention all crew members.

Hear ye, hear ye.

Regarding Daniel's departure,

which there seems to be

a lot of confusion about.

I want to tell you this once and for all,

Daniel was promoted.

Okay?

Yeah, and also,

I am given to believe

there was some

family emergency as well.

So there you have it

in black and white.

Case closed.

It's not about you.

It's about someone else.

I have a little bit of free time

if you want to go the arboretum with me.

Um...

No thanks.

We could look at the bonsai tree

like you like to do. You don't want to go?

Well, is it, um, just

that you don't want to go

or you don't want to go with me?

It's just because I don't want to go,

for some reason.

I don't know why,

but I just don't really want to.

Okay. I understand.

You know, I could

What is it, Glenn?

Um, you look good. How are you?

I'm great.

You look great.

So you're on the Nostradamus now.

Yep. You found me.

I guess you got that promotion.

Yes, incredibly.

Considering what happened.

Right. Anyway...

Also serving under Lawrence Wilson.

Fantastic leader.

Total role model.

Uh, wait.

Larry Wilson is the captain of the

Nostradamus? You gotta be kidding me.

He's actually an admiral now

Yeah.

And I believe he prefers "Lawrence."

Well, I mean, you know,

I've known him for years as Larry so...

I know that one very well. Ahem.

Not like that.

I don't know him that well.

Oh my God,

it's okay to know a man well, Glenn.

Reason for calling, um,

besides saying hi,

I just want to know if you happened

to get this notice. What was it?

Yeah, "You are required to report

to 20 hours of therapy."

I mean,

over your little AWOL episode.

Did you happen to get this too?

This one?

My little episode?

My little episode, Glenn?

Well, Daniel, you are the one that left.

I left because you had to be drunk

to make love to me

then you sobbed

in your pillow afterwards.

I want to remind you

that you have to be very careful

about the way you talk

about these things, um,

especially in therapy because that...

It's very delicate...

Aye-aye, sir.

And careers can be affected.

Just...

What? Is someone with you?

No, no, no. I need to go.

Was he there the whole time?

You don't have to worry about...

Who? Who was it? Was it Larry?

Bye, Glenn.

Okay. Okay.

I needed to talk to someone.

Yeah.

Do you ever...?

Do you ever feel like you're

just floating around in space

and there's no one there?

I mean, no one there to check you or...

I don't know. I mean,

there's no family or friends or...

I don't know.

Do you ever feel crazy?

[OVER RECORDING] Glenn?

GLENN: Daniel. Sorry.

[TAPE REWINDING]

No, no, no, I need to go.

GLENN: Was he there the whole time?

You don't have to worry about...

GLENN:

Well, Daniel, you are the one that left.

DANIEL: I left because you had

to be drunk to make love to me

then you sobbed in your pillow...

To make love to me, then you...

To make love to me...

I feel like we have so much in common.

I do too.

I mean, we're both

these fractured people.

You lost your hand

in battle and I...

I am... I have

Yeah, um...

Hello, I am Dr. Bot.

Hello.

Searching voice database records.

GLENN [ON RECORDING]:

Hello.

DR. BOT:

Welcome, Lieutenant Glenn Terry.

Actually, it's "captain" now.

Updating file.

Welcome, Captain Glenn Terry.

Shall we take a voyage

of discovery together?

Why not?

What problems inside

of Captain Glenn

would Captain Glenn

like to work on?

Just for the record,

I have no problems inside of me at all.

And this is new for me.

This was not...

Being open to change is the first step

on the road to mental health.

I just need you people to know

that I'm not being hesitant.

Hesitation often leads to revelation.

Duly noted.

I have noted it as well.

That would be the "duly" part.

That's the two of us.

Correct.

What are you thinking

in the midst of this silence?

Actually, I was thinking about smoking.

Cigarettes contain

carcinogens which may

cause cancer

in carbon-based life forms.

Right.

You are a carbon-based life form,

therefore, cigarettes may cause

cancer inside you.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Can I smoke?

May I smoke here, please?

Perhaps you'd like to try Valium?

Smoking is kind of my Valium,

so honest...

They are two entirely different drugs.

Nicotine is a stimulant.

Valium is a sedative.

Is it?

Yes, it is.

I was not aware of that.

Captain Glenn, how have things

been on the ship for you?

Status quo.

We're having a Christmas party

for the people on the ship.

Dr. Bot politely declines your invitation.

It's humans only,

so that's really a non-issue. Okay?

Anyway,

I'm supposed to be pretending

that these people are my friends when...

You have to be a friend

to have a friend.

They're not friends. They are colleagues.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Friend.

Make new friends.

Keep the old, for one is silver

while the other one is gold.

Gold.

Remember the golden rule:

"Do unto others as you

would have them do unto you."

Silver.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

[LAUGHS]

Cigarette.

Cigarettes contain carcinogens

which may cause cancer

in carbon-based life forms.

You are a carbon-based life form,

therefore cigarettes

may cause cancer inside you.

Hmm.

You're gonna make us late for the party.

Where were you?

I was just finishing up some business.

You ready?

What kind of game do you want to play?

Um...

Okay, everybody goes around

Oh, I don't like secret games.

I don't know about that.

Yeah, I don't really have any secrets.

Oh, I have a secret.

I'm gonna get a beer really quick.

Can you get me one too, please?

Yeah.

Oh, I want him to hear my secret.

Ted, come back here please.

We'd like to get this over with.

We're going.

Oh, no, honey, come on.

I wanna play.

I love games, but maybe charades.

I'm leaving. You coming?

Honey, you're being silly.

What's wrong, Steve?

It's just a game.

Okay.

She has a secret too.

Don't.

Why don't you tell everyone

your secret.

Look, let's not... Please, let's not play

It's not funny.

I know why you wanna stop.

You know why? Because I don't like you.

That's my secret.

[LAUGHS]

That's not a secret.

I don't like you, either.

Shut up, Misty.

Ted, it's okay.

Now, Ted, honestly,

that is no way to talk to a lady.

Yeah, you would know.

Uh, yes, I would.

You would know. Yeah.

Ted, Ted, Ted.

Does anybody ever wonder why

she always has to act like a man?

Stop. Let's stop now...

Why she's always up on the bridge

acting like a man.

JESSICA: Stop.

I would like to know that.

Okay, Misty, drop this right now

because it's really not funny.

Maybe it's because

she's not a real woman.

Misty.

Maybe she's not

a real woman because

she can't have...

Stop it!

Whoa! Okay, just back off.

You don't need to scream at her.

Sir, this is none of your business.

It's none of my business?

I don't care if it's the main room,

main bridge, rec room,

playroom, toilet room,

it's my business!

I don't care if it's irrigation duct

level f*cking 7! It's my f*cking business!

Your attitude since

you've shown up here

has been to tell me what to do, how

to do it, with a chip on your shoulder!

Why can't you just be a woman?

Why can't you just be a man?!

What does that mean?

Excuse me, forgive me, sir,

but you are the last person

I'd think would be demanding

we should stick to conventions.

I have no idea

what you're talking about.

Sir, you're g*y!

You are a g*y man and we all know it.

He's what?

[TAPE REWINDING]

JESSICA [ON RECORDING]: Sir, you're g*y!

You are a g*y man and we all know it.

Now, how could...?

Uh, you can't know something...

You can't... Like that. That's...

Something like that is not...

It's not true. Daniel and I were never...

We are not together.

We weren't together. There's...

Ask him.

He will tell you! I promise.

I only stay with you

because of Sunshine.

Do you know that?

Yeah.

I know that.

It was late last night

I was feeling something wasn't right

There was not another sight

Only you

Then you gazed up at me

And the answer was plain to see

'Cause I saw the light

In your eyes

In your eyes

Though we had our fling

I just would never would

Suspect a thing

Till that little bell began to ring

In my head

In my head

But I tried to run

Though I knew

It wouldn't help me none

'Cause I couldn't ever love no one

Or so I said

'Cause my feelings for you

Were just something I never knew

Till I saw the light

In your eyes

In your eyes

But I love you best

It's not something that I say in jest

'Cause you're different, girl

From all the rest

In my eyes

And I ran out before

But I won't do it anymore

Can't you see the light

In my eyes

In my eyes

In my eyes

In my eyes
