Another Earth Page #3

You can start where you finished.

I was wondering if I could

talk with you about something.

Not now. A little bit later.

I'm finished.

Check's on the kitchen table.

We're not real.

W-We're not real.

We're a projection of the

imagination of Earth Two.

Hmm.

This is Dr. Joan Tallis of SETI,

the United States,

planet Earth.

Do you read me?

This is Dr. Joan Tallis of SETI,

the United States,

planet Earth.

Do you read me?

Is anyone out there?

Let's try another channel.

I repeat...

this is Dr. Joan Tallis of SETI,

the United States,

planet Earth.

We... you.

We read you.

...clear...

Copy.

Verified?

This is Dr. Joan Tallis of SETI.

Is someone there?

Do you read me?

This is Dr. Joan T-Tallis.

We're getting feedback.

Hello?

Hello?

My name is Joan Tallis.

- Whoa! No way!

- I am the director of SETI.

- Dude!

- In Mountain View, California.

When were you born?

May 7, 1954.

When were you born?

May 7, 1954.

Mount Pleasant, New York.

Robinson Hope Hospital.

I took a trip to Cape Canaveral

when I was a kid.

Did you?

Yes. I was 11.

What did you buy

at the gift store?

Space food.

I thought I would be

going to space.

I bought these...

astro strawberries.

- What?

- Oh, come on.

- No way, dude! No way!

- What does that... What does that mean?

It's... It's... Listen.

What does that mean?

I don't understand what that means.

Kimberly, it's just

an elaborate hoax.

- There's gotta be an explanation.

- We're all gonna die.

- Wait, wait!

- We are all gonna die.

It would be very hard to think

"I am over there"...

and "Can I go meet me?"...

and "Is that me better

than this me?"

"Can I learn from the other me?"

"Has the other me made

the same mistakes I've made?"

Or, "Can I sit down and have

a conversation with me?"

Wouldn't that be

an interesting thing?

The truth is, we do that

all day long every day.

People don't admit it and they don't

think about it too much, but they do.

Every day, they're talking

in their own head.

"What's he doing?"

"Why'd he do that?"

"What did she think?"

"Did I say the right thing?"

In this case,

there's another you out there.

Wanna take a look?

My God.

Yeah.

Wow.

You're up there and I'm up there.

It's just too much.

I wonder if I'm cleaning your house.

Ha!

Maybe.

- Total's 29.

- Thank you.

Can you hand me a paper towel?

Thanks.

If you wanna join me...

Round one.

You can come in.

Knockout.

You wanna play?

I don't know how.

It's easy.

It's easy.

You're a fighter, I'm sure.

The controller's up on the...

Hold the big one

in your right hand.

- You okay playing boxing?

- Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

To block shots,

you put your hands up.

Face.
