Gravity Page #5
THE EARTH, with its ever-changing surface of blues and whites,
greens and browns, is massive and serene below him.
RYAN:
Mm-hm.
MATT:
“Mmm?” So what do you like about being
up here?
She hesitates -- trying sincerely to articulate her feelings as
we GAZE down at the silent planet below.
RYAN:
The silence.
(beat)
I could get used to it.
Matt laughs softly.
We arrive back on him as he turns back to look at Earth.
Something flickers briefly in Matt’s eyes-- something
complicated-
MATT:
Hmmmm. Terrific.
Ryan inspects a panel inside the telescope, studying it with a
small mirror.
RYAN:
Houston, from first inspection comms
panel appears to be dead. Am I a go
to cut link to auxiliary?
MISSION CONTROL:
You’re the expert, doctor. It’s your
call.
Ryan takes out the small mirror and Matt stretches his arm,
offering assistance, but-
She does not want any help and puts the mirror away in her
toolbox, leaving Matt with his arm outstretched.
Ryan starts looking for another tool, but Matt is one move ahead
of her, offering her a pair of tweezers.
Ryan hesitates and takes the tool. She starts working on the
panel.
MATT:
Houston, I have a bad feeling about
this mission.
MISSION CONTROL:
Please elaborate.
MATT:
It’s the same feeling I had at Mardi
Gras in 1987...?
He waits, letting the moment hang knowingly. Then:
MISSION CONTROL:
That is affirmative. Surprisingly,
control hasn’t heard the Mardi Gras
story. Please proceed.
MATT:
Well, it’s day one and I’m bumping my
way down Bourbon Street looking for
the sister of a friend of mine. The
streets are swimming with people, I’m
thinking there’s no way I’m finding
this girl...
Ryan rolls her eyes and mumbles to herself-
RYAN:
Proceeding to over ride.
Matt continues his story without missing a beat-
MATT:
Then all of a sudden I look up and -there
she is.

MATT (CONT'D)
I am about to yell out when I notice
she’s holding hands with a short hairy
Margaritaville T-shirt. Then I
realize, the guy’s no guy. My sister’s
friend is holding hands with a--

All the astronauts stop what they’re doing and anxiously await
