Galaxy Quest Page #5

Synopsis: The stars of a 1970s sci-fi show - now scraping a living through re-runs and sci-fi conventions - are beamed aboard an alien spacecraft. Believing the cast's heroic on-screen dramas are historical documents of real-life adventures, the band of aliens turn to the ailing celebrities for help in their quest to overcome the oppressive regime in their solar system.

AT THE CAST TABLE - Guy now sits with the others, forlorn. No

fans are in line for his autograph. He watches as Fred fields

questions from the group or fans led by BRANDON.

BRANDON:

Mr. Kwan? In episode nineteen, when the reactor fused, you used

an element from Leopold Six to fix the quantum rockets. What was

that called?

FRED:

Bivrakium.

BRANDON:

The blue sheath it was encased in-?

FRED:

A bi-thermal krevlite housing.

5/4/99(GOLDENROD)

Brandon makes a note, thanks him and exits with his group.

GUY:

How do you remember this stuff?

FRED:

Oh I make it up. Use lots of "k"s and "v"s.

A male FAN moves up to Gwen, hands her a picture to sign.

FAN:

I'm a big fan Ms. Demarco.

Gwen looks at the photo, nonplussed.

GWEN:

You really expect me to sign a naked picture of myself? This

isn't even my body!

FAN:

Yeah, normally with fakes it's like, recycle bin. But.. This

one's really good.

(Gwen sighs, starts to sign)

Could you not write over the... Thanks.

A fan finally approaches Guy who looks up eagerly. The fan looks

at him quizzically, trying to place him.

GUY:

Episode 12. (gets no reaction) Killed by the lava monster?..

FAN:

(turns to Tommy)

Laredo, could I get an autograph?

Guy shrugs, disappointed. Gwen gives him a comforting look, then

looks across at

JASON ON HIS PERCH

Talking dramatically to a group of fans. A YOUNG BOY watches WIDE

EYED.

JASON:

... on one hand, if I had moved an inch, the beast would have

killed me. On the other hand, my crew was in danger...

YOUNG BOY:

How did you know what to do?

5/4/99(GOLDENROD)

JASON:

Without a crew, I'm not a Commander.

He pulls down on the kid's cap.

JASON:

And we all know what happened to that beast on Enok 7...

The fans make happy nerdy "we sure do" noises.

CASTMEMBERS TABLE

Gwen shakes her head appreciatively.

GWEN:

You gotta admit, they do love him.

TOMMY:

Almost as much as he loves himself.

They watch as Jason fields another question from a fan.

JASON:

I'm glad you asked... To me the most important qualities of a

Galaxy Explorer are loyalty...

ALEXANDER:

... to camera center no matter whose shot you're blocking...

JASON:

Leadership....

TOMMY:

... to make sure craft service keeps those little butter cookies,

and plenty of them-

JASON:

And determination.
