Tomorrowland Page #2

You shouldn't sneak out.

Well, you shouldn't still need a wubby.

Dad says it's okay to sleep with.

That's because

he doesn't want you to grow up.

Were you at the platform again?

What do you do out there?

Are you trying to stop them

from taking it down?

That would make me a criminal.

And a pretty terrible role model

to impressionable youth

such as yourself.

But if someone else did it,

I'd have to assume they believed

even the teeniest of actions

could change the future.

How can you be sure?

Because I know how things work.

Why are they taking the platform down?

Because it's hard to have ideas

and easy to give up.

But you won't. Right?

Never.

Hey, Dad. Heading to school.

- I made you lunch.

- Hey!

Wrap it up.

- How did you do...

- You would have gotten it.

Yeah, Eddie Newton.

What?

All three cranes?

All right, Douglas.

Thanks for the call. Bye.

Everything okay?

Yeah, the equipment over

at Canaveral is down again.

- Weird.

- Really weird.

Well, at least you get the day off.

Actually, they're bringing in

replacement cranes from Orlando,

so I will be back to work by noon.

That's fantastic.

- Case.

- Yeah?

Nothing's gonna stop them

from taking down that platform.

Nothing. And when we're done,

I'm out of a job.

There's nothing anyone can do about it.

It's inevitable.

Well, then you'll find something else.

You're a NASA engineer.

With nothing to launch.

- There are two wolves.

- Case.

You told me this story my entire life,

and now I'm telling you.

There are two wolves,

and they're always fighting.

One is darkness and despair.

The other is light and hope.

Which wolf wins?

Come on, Case.

Okay. Fine, don't answer.

Whichever one you feed.

Good.

Eat.

Come on.

Mutually assured destruction.

Today, any nuclear country or terrorist

is capable of inflicting damage

on a massive scale with weapons of...

Environmental entropy.

The polar ice caps

aren't waiting for us to decide

if climate change is real.

Rising coastal waters,

intensifying weather patterns.

They're all punching

our one-way ticket to...

Dystopia. By definition, "not perfect."

Huxley's Brave New World,

Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451,

Orwell's 1984.

Once considered fiction,

these futuristic novels

are actually happening right now

and they seem to be getting worse.

Yes, Miss Newton?

Can we fix it?

Sorry?

I get things are bad.

But what are we doing to fix it?

Have a good weekend, everybody.

- Newton?

- Yeah.

You made bail. Motorcycle is in impound.

You can pick up

your personal effects over there.

- Newton?

- Yeah.

All right.

All right.

Okay, one money clip, $47.32,

one Florida state driver's license,

one baseball cap.
