5th Passenger Page #3

---

We have to make the next Sagan.

We can't afford to stay here.

- Yeah, I mean, we gotta figure

out.

- Who exactly are you to have an

opinion?

- What is your specialty?

- I tended livestock.

- A goat herder.

- Chickens actually

and I'm also the guy that saved

your life.

You're welcome, man.

- Sir, with respect

we are all equally in this.

- This is not a democracy.

I have decided.

We will hold our current

position

- and wait to be rescued.

- You've decided?

- What makes you think

they'll even look for us

all the way out here?

- They will look for me.

[whooshing]

[melancholic music]

[groaning]

- Good morning, sunshine.

- [Eve] You need to leave.

- [Thomson] Why?

- [Eve] Now.

I'm sorry.

It was a mistake.

- I know you're probably right

but it's the last chance

to say you love me.

- What?

- I just saw that.

You were thinking about me.

- Are you and I in an awkward

situation?

- It depends on if you feel

awkward.

I mean, that's not how

I remember it happening.

- Well, that's how it happened.

- Well, that's the great

thing about memories,

especially with you women,

you can remember what you want.

- What do you want, goat herder?

- Goat herder, that's funny.

It's chickens.

I just came down to use the can.

Saw that you were...

- Well, then you should probably

go.

- Why don't you hand me the

MemSet?

We'll watch my memory.

Let's see my version you have.

- In my version we have this

clone.

There's two of you.

- Uh huh?

Stop it.

- Wow, Jesus, wow.

Whoa.

I was just trying to have some

fun.

I was trying to kill some time

before we get rescued.

- Wake up, Thomson.

This isn't a joke.

I'm not dying out here.

I've worked too hard, I've come

too far

and you should probably know

that...

- Believe it or not I

don't want to die either.

We all want to get to

Hesperides,

we all wanna grow up and

live happily ever after

but that's not...

That doesn't make a God damn

bit of difference, does it?

Because for you and for me

that is never gonna happen.

We are gonna spend the rest of

our lives

slaving away in these transport

ships

and the difference between us,

I've accepted it.

So just relax.

Go back 20 seconds

and just lay down.

- Sounds like a very high

and admirable aspiration.

- [Thomson] Come on.

- But unless we get the pod's

navigational system fixed,

citizen or non-citizen, we're

all screwed.

Here, you can have it.

- Sh*t.

Damn it.

You always say the wrong

God damn thing, Thomson.

You mess up every good thing in

your life.

[buzzing]

[clanging]

- Fresh off the griddle.

[upbeat electronic music]

[clanging]

- Come on, come on.

Balance.
