Solaris Page #2

- Not unusual, given the circumstances.

- I know.

All right. Now, what can you tell me

about what's happening here?

Just that I want it to stop,

but I want to stop it.

If I can stop it that means

I'm smarter than it is.

You know you can go home,

walk away from all of this.

I can guarantee it.

Yeah.

The thing is... Man, I would kill

to go back there. I'd... kill.

But Gordon?

Gordon happens to be Gordon, you know?

So, um...

But I'll see what I can do.

We take off into the cosmos.

Ready for anything -

solitude, hardship, exhaustion...

death.

We're proud of ourselves.

But when you think about it,

our enthusiasm's a sham.

We don't want other worlds. We want mirrors.

So, anyway... How's the spawn?

Oh, good, good. He cries

and shits in his pants every two hours.

- I know the feeling.

When are you leaving?

- We've been postponed again.

- I didn't hear that.

Nobody knows yet.

The governments are looking for a buyer. I

wish we could tell people what's happening.

You can tell me. I'm a doctor.

Well, Doctor, as we study Solaris,

the most interesting thing is it, um...

Well, it seems to be reacting.

Almost like it knows it's being observed.

We can't explain it.

Are you listening to me? Chris?

- So anyway...

- So anyway. Sorry.

Go to her. Her name is Rheya. She's a bit

tricky but, um, I guess she's worthwhile.

Maybe she needs a shrink.

Don't we all?

Don't blow it.

You start.

I did.

Really?

All right, I'm gonna resist the impulse

to ask you about the door knob.

- Do you always resist your impulses?

- Not always.

Try poetry.

"And death shall have no dominion."

Mm. Thomas.

It's not a very happy poem, though.

Well, you didn't seem

very happy when I saw you on the train.

I wasn't.

And tonight?

It's early.

Goddammit!

I'm awake.

Yes.

How are you here?

How are you here?

How do you mean?

Where do you think you are?

Where do you think you are right now?

At home.

Where is home?

With you, where we live.

And do you remember being anywhere else

with me? Being together anywhere else?

- Our apartment.

- Describe it.

It's dark. It's very very dark.

And there are no paintings on the wall.

No pictures anywhere.

No pictures on the fridge, even,

which I always thought was a bit strange.

Do you remember

where we first saw each other?

On a train.

Chris...

I'm so happy to see you.

I love you so much.

Don't you love me any more?

I have to check out something with the crew.

No! No!

- Don't leave me! Don't leave me!

- Why? Why?

- Why?

- I don't know.

I don't know.

It's OK.

It's OK.

Why are you sitting over there?

Can I come and sit with you?

Hey.

What was that?

Yeah.

How 'bout that?
