Asteroid vs. Earth Page #5

---

You're gonna stay here

to watch the missiles.

I knew they'd want somebody

if this thing went pear-shaped.

How long you think before

they pick the black guy?

- Lieutenant.

- Commander.

Hey.

Yeah.

You should call Terry.

We're not speaking remember?

I'm phobic.

- Really? It's that bad?

- Yeah.

What do we talk about?

I don't know.

Your feelings. It'll lighten the mood.

Feelings.

Watch my boat, Chase.

And you watch my nukes.

Captain's on the bridge!

Captain on board, come in.

On board the USS Polk.

This is Captain Rogers.

Captain it's now or never.

We're 18 feet below normal.

Make way to get under way.

Copy that.

Cast off!

Chief of the Polk.

Take us out.

Aye aye, Skipper.

All right guys. All ahead full.

All hands below deck.

Hustle up. Let's go.

Let's get down below. Come on.

All right guys, move it out.

Now.

I am telling you that one explosion,

no matter how big it is, isn't gonna do it.

I'm more worried about no explosions.

Remotely triggering warheads

at the bottom of the Trench?

On the outside chance that load, deliver,

unload, re-board, reload and re-deliver

AND trigger 2 differently timed

explosions all at once? No way.

We need to puncture the protruding

crust of the Trench

in order to pierce the asthenosphere

and expose the Earth's core.

And then with the secondary explosion,

induce tectonic displacement.

I can't manufacture time Marissa.

We won't make it.

And I can't accept that because this is

the only way that's gonna work!

You know I started diving when

I was probably 10 years old?

I'm more comfortable under

water then I am in dry land.

It's a whole world down there.

These amazing creatures that

manufacture life out of nothing.

And now they're asking you to blow it up.

I understand,

and I know how hard this is for you.

But we don't have

to go up with the Trench.

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry. Just be right.

Because that's the only

thing that's gonna make this ok.

Fair enough.

Earthquake?

Rudy?

Terry?

Long time no talk.

Who else were you expecting?

It's 3:
30 in the morning.

I wasn't expecting anybody.

But what do you care?

Man, I always care.

All the time. You know that.

Are you laughing at me?

Good.

Chase told me to tell you

about my feelings.

He said it would lighten the mood.

Should I have sent you

a Whitman sample instead?

How is chase?

Why are you with him?

If you don't want to tell me

It's just whatever is going on is big.

Look, maybe you should pack

your bags and get out of town, ok?

You can stay with my mom.

You haven't lost your sense of humor.

I gotta teach in the morning, man. I

You know I can't abandon my kids.

We've got finals.
