24LONG SHOT - WHAT TAYLOR SEES:
water
The porthole is no more than six inches above the line. In the
distance we discern a shoreline of red desert.
TAYLOR'S VOICE
(o.s.)
We're in the soup. We're sinking.
The leak in the seam becomes a growing spray of water. Taylor
turns away from the porthole, calling:
TAYLOR:
Dodge! Read the atmosphere!
Dodge moves instantly to the ladder beneath an escape hatch and
mounts it. Taylor stumbles down the aisle of the rolling ship toward
the console and addresses Landon, who is still staring at Stewart's
skeleton.
TAYLOR:
Landon! Send a last signal.
LANDON:
(dazed)
What signal?
TAYLOR:
To Earth! That we've landed!
As Landon lurches toward the communications equipment in f.g.

26EXT. TIM STRANGE PLANET - LONG PANORAMIC SHOT - LATE AFTERNOON (LONE
ROCK, LAKE POWELL)
We are looking at a lifeless desert of sandstone buttes and pinnacles.
There is no sign of vegetation anywhere. CAMERA PANS DOWN to a body
of water that could be the bay of an inland sea. The deep blue of the
sea contrasts sharply to the red sands of the shoreline. CAMERA HOLDS
on the stricken spaceship, wallowing like a beached whale a hundred
yards offshore. The portholes of the craft are beneath the water, and
only its roof and the tail fin of its tail assembly are visible. The
red-hot skin of the ship vaporizes the water around it.
Suddenly a snorkel-like tube sprouts from the escape hatch, which is
located amidships.
27INT. CABIN - CLOSE ON CLOSED ESCAPE HATCH
Dodge, standing halfway up the ladder., has fastened a kit of gauges
to the end of the snorkel tube. He reads the dials, removes the kit,
sniffs the air in the tube and then, taking a deep breath, announces:
DODGE:
It's breathable.
TAYLOR'S VOICE
(o.s.)
Okay! Blow the hatch before we lose
auxilliary power.
Dodge reaches for a control mechanism near the escape hatch.
The spray of water coming through the ruptured seam is increasing.
The LIGHTS DIM again and the SOUND of the warning signal FADES. While
Landon fiddles with the radio, Taylor tries to get the tape recorder
rolling, but all we hear are scrambled and unintelligible noises.
LANDON:
It's no use ... there she goes.
TAYLOR:
Forget it. Abandon ship.
The escape hatch is now open. Taylor darts over to the ladder and
passes a folded life raft up to Dodge. When Landon reaches the ladder,
Taylor hands him two neatly packed rucksacks, and Landon climbs
through the escape hatch. Taylor is about to follow with a third
rucksack, then turns and crosses the cabin for a last look at:
