JENSEN:

(confused)

Yes. you are Chris Kinsley, aren't you?

CHRIS:

No. Well, yes. I mean, I used to be. Now I'm Mhavishnue Kinsley.

JENSEN:

(relieved)

I see. You are being funny.

CHRIS:

Well, I just can't help it. You're such a fun guy yourself.

JENSEN:

Oh yes. I think you'll find we all are, right Mike?

DODD:

No.

JENSEN:

Now Chris, Sherry is going to show you around the place. She can answer any questions you might have about fringe benefits or dress codes or anything and I'll see you back upstairs when you're done, okay? Sherry, take good care of this young man. He's one of the ten finest minds kin the country.

CHRIS:

Someday I hope to be two of them.

JENSEN:

See you later.

Jensen and Dodd exit.

CHRIS:

You are very beautiful.

SHERRY:

You don't act like one of the top ten minds in America.

CHRIS:

Oh, really? How many of them have you met?

SHERRY:

(with a really dirty look in her eye)

Seven.

CHRIS:

Really?

SHERRY:

You'll be eight. Six was Professor Hostetler at M.I.T.

CHRIS:

Old Professor Hostetler? Isn't he dead?

SHERRY:

He is now.

INT. ANOTHER PART OF THE PEI FACILITY- ALITTLE LATER

Sherry and Chris stare intently into one another's eyes.

SHERRY:

And so, coupled with full insurance coverage and bonus plans, you find it adding up to a fairly sizable perks package.

CHRIS:

I have a pretty sizable perks package right now.

SHERRY:

Also, we understand that you people don't care too much for rigid timetables, and that's pretty rare in private industry.

CHRIS:

So are you.

SHERRY:

Is it true that school of yours keeps getting smarter and smarter kids every year?

CHRIS:

Yup! I mean no!

INT. YET ANOTHER PART OF PEI- A LITTLE LATER.

SHERRY:

You see the funding associations are the same. Our theoretical work is in the Blue Sky sector as well.

CHRIS:

You have no idea how much I need that kind of continuity in my life right now.

INT. CATWALK ABOVE A HUGH LAB- A LITTLE LATER STILL

SHERRY:

You just belong here, Chris. We have several of Dr. Atherton's former students and they're all doing quite well with us.

CHRIS:

What number was he?

SHERRY:

Two. One of his other students was four.

CHRIS:

You're wonderful.

SHERRY:

I know.

CHRIS:

Can we go somewhere?

SHERRY:

Yes.

EXT. ROOF OF HANGER-DUSK

The giant dish of a huge radio telescope faces heavens.

SHERRY (O.C)

(between kisses)

Talk smart to me.

CHRIS (O.C.)

What?

ANGLE ON CHRIS AND SHERRY

They are lying in the middle of the dish. Passion mounts, fingers cope with belts and buttons, clothing falls away; my god, these people are having sex.

SHERRY:

Please I need it. What was your favorite course?

CHRIS:

I guess right now I'd have to say Fluid Mechanics.

SHERRY:

Oooooooooh...
