We need to get back to work. I have

a conference call with our European

partners in fifteen minutes.

NSA AGENT:

We severed the connections to your

European partners this morning.

ANSEN:

(INDIGNANT)

You can't do that. The Europeans

put up some of the funding...

GOVERNMENT MAN:

We'll send them a check.

(STANDS)

Your project is now classified under

the State Secrets Act.

He steps out the door, leaving the men alone. The assistant,

outraged, turns back to his boss.

ASSISTANT:

They can't keep this a secret. You

know that. Sooner or later...

The younger man looks down, embarrassed, as he notices that

tears are rolling down the older man's cheeks.

6.

ANSEN:

I don't care about that. I've spent

my whole life being afraid we would

wipe ourselves out before this moment

arrived. We've made so many mistakes,

I wasn't sure we'd make it...

The assitant realizes that the old man is weeping for joy.

Relief.

ANSEN (CONT'D)

But this will change everything.

Fifty years from now, nothing will

be the same.

The older man looks at the simulation on the screen of the

tiny link between our galaxy and another.

FADE TO BLACK:

EXT. CORNFIELD, CENTRAL CALIFORNIA -- DAY

Corn. As far as the eye can see.

SUPER TITLE:
"FIFTY YEARS LATER"

A large old diesel tour bus is parked by the side of a dirt

road, smoke pouring out of its open hood. A dozen MEN in

BASEBALL UNIFORMS are standing around the front of the bus.

A battered PICKUP pulls up, and a MAN, 30s, gets out, leaving

his two SONS in the car. This is COOPER. He joins the

ballplayers staring at the lifeless diesel engine.
