The Arrival Page #2

Come on.

Someone is watching.

What?

How in the heII did I wind up

with somebody Iike you?

I got tired of rich guys

with good futures.

No. ReaIIy.

What is it you see in me?

What made you caII me

the first time?

Boy, when their seIf-worth goes--

Okay, I see a man

of great inteIIigence...

dedication,

cute IittIe kind of insecurity.

- A IittIe paranoia--

- This went to sh*t fast.

Why do we aIways have to anaIyze

everything? Can't you trust I Iove you?

AIgorithms I trust.

BooIean Iogic I trust.

BeautifuI women,

they just mystify me.

Two years and we're stiII taIking

about trust? It's amazing.

I shouId shut the heII up, huh?

Look, it's your career.

I wiII support any decision you make.

But if we are going to make it...

we've got to take care

of our probIems here on pIanet Earth.

That is just a IittIe hard when

you're aIways off Iooking at the stars.

Listening.

Listening.

Are we faIIing apart here?

Is that it, Char?

I don't know, Zane.

Are we?

How'd you do on the test?

How'd you do on the test?

No, I'm saying it's incompIete.

There's no chemicaI breakdown.

There's no broadband chart anaIysis.

Want me to go on?

That information

isn't avaiIabIe at this time.

This information was promised me

two months ago.

These are not nationaI secrets.

This is a routine anaIysis

of the atmosphere. Why shouId I--

There's a probIem with that sateIIite.

It's bIind to certain trace gases.

ReaIIy? As of when?

It Iost a soIar paneI. Some functions

were shut down to save energy.

Look, here's my probIem.

I've devoted my sabbaticaI

to greenhouse trace gases.

If I don't get this data, I might as

weII be counting cow farts in Montana.

You'II have to wait untiI

the new sateIIite is in pIace.

- When's the Iaunch date?

- NASA doesn't have that information.

Round and round we go.

Thanks for naught.

Moffet FieId.

BiII Wyatt, Zane Zaminsky.

How are you, man?

Oh, yeah, Zane. Hi.

I know you said you'd get back to me,

but I feIt obIigated...

to Iet you know about a job offer

that came up.

TeIecommunications.

Looks pretty sweet too.

The heaIth pIan aIone, you know.

WeII, good.

You shouId take it, Zane.

I don't think things

are going to work out here.

But I thought you were

Iooking for radio astronomers?

Some good creative thinkers?

Isn't that what you said?

Creative's one thing.

Too creative's another.

I'm not tracking.

I'm not sure

I shouId be saying this.

I taIked to PhiI Gordian at J.P.L.

- The indication was--

- Just say it.

He said you were faking signaIs

in order to keep your job.

I do beIieve

this permit's expired.

Why haven't you?

To raise the temperature

of the pIanet tenfoId...
