SOLARIS Page #4

Sartorius is grabbed by something on the other side of his

door. He struggles to keep his composure.

SARTORIUS:

His last wish was to be buried on

Earth. In dirt, he said. "I want

to buried in dirt." What a clown.

Sartorius is losing the battle with whomever or whatever is

on the other side of his door.

KELVIN:

They shouldn't let people like you

into space.

SARTORIUS:

Just so you know: I'm not going

back until I understand what it is.

I am going to figure out what it

is, make it stop, and then I will

go home.

KELVIN:

Listen --

SARTORIUS:

We're done. Oh, I should tell you,

I don't trust Snow. There's

something wrong with him.

Sartorius rotates and zips back into his room. As the door

closes Kelvin sees a flash of ANOTHER FIGURE in Sartorius'

room. The glimpse was too quick to judge who or what the

other figure could have been.

CUT TO:

INT. CORRIDOR - DAY

Kelvin walks, exploring the ship. He sees something that

stops him:

A NUDE WOMAN:

Black, early 20s, slipping across a corridor up ahead.

Kelvin gives chase. He sees her turn a corner, but by the

time he gets there, she is gone.

CUT TO:

INT. SNOW'S ROOM

Snow is lying on his bunk.

KELVIN:

Is there anybody else here?

SNOW:

(sits up a little)

Why, who did you see?

KELVIN:

Gibarian warned me. He left me a

message.

SNOW:

Who was it?

KELVIN:

She was real. Where did she come

from?

Snow looks at him but doesn't respond.

KELVIN:

Tell me. I won't think you're

insane.

SNOW:

Oh, that's a relief.

Snow lies back down.

KELVIN:

Where did she come from?

A beat.

SNOW:

How much sleep do you need?

KELVIN:

How much sleep?

SNOW:

How long can you go without sleep?

KELVIN:

That depends.

SNOW:

Well, when you do go to sleep:

barricade your door.

Snow rolls over, away from Kelvin.

CUT TO:

EXT. SPACE

Solaris. Quiet, but still active somehow.
