SHUTTLE:
(calling)
Penelope! We're late!
PENELOPE:
(off, in master
bedroom suite)
Coming.
SHUTTLE:
(to PAUL)
Women are always late. You'll find
out.
WOODLY:
(thoughtfully)
The late Mrs. Harold Ryan.
SHUTTLE:
I'm sick of this argument. I just
have one more thing to say: If you
elect a President, you support him,
no matter what he does. That's the
only way you can have a country!
WOODLY:
It's the planet that's in ghastly
trouble now and all our brothers
and sisters thereon.
SHUTTLE:
None of my relatives are Chinese
Communists. Speak for yourself.
WOODLY:
Chinese maniacs and Russian maniacs
and American maniacs and French
maniacs and British maniacs have
turned this lovely, moist,
nourishing blue-green ball into a
doomsday device. Let a radar set
and a computer mistake a hawk or a
meteor for a missile, and that's
the end of mankind.
SHUTTLE:
You can believe that if you want.
I talk to guys like you, and I want
to commit suicide.
(to PAUL)
You get that weight-lifting set I
sent you?
PAUL:
It came yesterday. I haven't
opened it yet.
WOODLY:
(musingly, attempting
to find the idea
acceptable, even
funny, in a way)
Maybe it's supposed to end now.
Maybe God wouldn't have it any
other way.
SHUTTLE:
(to PAUL)
Start with the smallest weights.
Every week add a pound or two.
WOODLY:
Maybe God has let everybody who
ever lived be reborn--so he or she
can see how it ends. Even
Pithecanthropus erectus and
Australopithecus and Sinanthropus
pekensis and the Neanderthalers are
back on Earth--to see how it ends.
They're all on Times Square--making
change for peepshows. Or recruiting
Marines.
