Solarbabies Page #4

Synopsis: In a future in which most water has disappeared from the Earth, we find a group of children, mostly teenagers, who are living at an orphanage, run by the despotic rulers of the new Earth. The group in question plays a hockey based game on roller skates and is quite good. It has given them a unity that transcends the attempts to bring them to heel by the government. Finding an orb of special power, they find it has unusual effects on them. They escape from the orphanage (on skates) and try to cross the wasteland looking for a place they can live free as the stormtroopers search for them and the orb.

- Can't you just leave it alone?

Look, if we're around something

that's giving off radioactivity,

- we could all end up dead.

- Oh, please.

Just let him do it.

Nothing.

- Hi, Bodhi.

- Hey, Bodie, so you're not dangerous.

It's Bodhi.

Hey, look, he's speaking to you

in your language and me in mine, all right?

- Yeah, but what is it?

- He's a who, not an it.

- Well, then who is it?

- I don't know. I can't figure it out.

You're kidding.

- What?

Well, I just heard you admit

there's something you can't figure out.

Metron admits to mystery.

Flip it over.

- Don't hurt him.

We're not gonna hurt him.

I think that he wants to play.

Hey, Metron, pass it over here!

- Flick it to me, Terra!

- Hey, Jas!

Metron, why don't you try to hit the ball?

Hey! Yeah!

Rabbit, pass it over.

- Can you explain this, Metron?

- I...

Hey, Daniel, here's your chance!

- Put it in the goal! Come on!

- Come on, you can do it!

- Come on, little man!

- Put it up! He wants you to shoot!

Daniel, go!

Daniel's the skateball champion

of the world!

Daniel!

Jason?

Can't we just play one more game?

I mean, Bodhi wants to play, I bet.

And I want to play.

It's late. I think we ought to head back.

Somebody's free! Oh, I envy him.

- They'll catch him.

- Yeah.

But until they do, he's free.

Toss every crib in here!

- What about the personal areas?

- Toss the personal areas.

Toss everything!

I got the bird boy.

- Anything?

- Nothing! Darstar took it all.

Let's go!

- You can't be in here. It's...

- Daniel's gone.

- What?

- He went after Bodhi.

I think Bodhi called him or something.

I don't know.

- Did you encourage him?

- No, I didn't.

- I wouldn't do that! You know I wouldn't.

- All right.

Get out of here.

And we'll meet in the clubroom.

- So we're gonna go after him?

- Be quiet.

He's a little boy all alone. I say that we go.

Listen to me carefully.

This is not like sneaking off to the pits.

It's not gonna be

20 meters in a ditch for this one.

If we do get caught,

it's gonna mean mainstream labor site.

- Or maybe worse.

- Yeah, well, what could be worse?

Like surgical alteration.

Didn't think of that, did we?

They've conditioned us here

to be so afraid.

There has got to be a place to go.

We were not born here.

We had parents on the outside, families.

People who might still be alive.

Maybe we could find them.

I'm very worried about him.

Please, let's just go.

It sounds like if we go,

we're not coming back.

That's exactly right,

so it's gotta be something that we all

agree on or we just don't go.

- Then we should vote.

- Okay.

- All those in favor...

- No, this should be a secret ballot.
