The Last Days on Mars Page #2

(CHUCKLES)

- Hold on. Does Brunel know?

- Just trust me on this one, okay?

(CHUCKLES)

Are you cosy in there?

Like a bug in a rug.

- You talk to Ella?

- No, I missed the window.

Sh*t, man. I'm sorry about that.

I got... you know, delayed.

- Kim.

- Yeah.

Never mind. I'll get

another chance back on Aurora.

Hey, I come bearing gifts.

You want some?

- Jesus Christ.

- What's up?

Half the C02 scrubbers

are down on the Aurora.

Check out this approach trajectory.

These guys are gonna get

pulled over for drunk driving.

Can't we at least get on board

before you start worrying

about the Aurora?

Aren't you excited to go home?

Home isn't the issue.

It's the six months it takes

to get there

strapped to the back of

a nuclear warhead I'm worried about.

(SIGHS)

- What?

- Are you all right?

(CHUCKLES)

Come on, Irwin.

Can we please not do

the whole analysis thing right now?

- I got a lot of work to do.

- You know how it is.

You're not happy if things

aren't working.

I'm not happy if you're not happy.

I'm happy. I'm ecstatic. See?

- Okay. All right.

- See? Happy, happy, happy.

All right, we're happy.

Uh-oh.

Get the popcorn out.

(MUFFLED ARGUMENT)

Who's your money on?

Are you kidding me?

Kim. Every time.

She's got a point, though.

How come Marko gets a free pass?

So, what do you reckon?

We all go back home, find God,

write a poem about it

like the moon walkers did?

It did change them.

They all said so.

People don't really change.

Put them under enough pressure,

you find out who they really are.

God, that is deep.

Are you gonna put that in a poem?

- That was uncomfortable.

- (GROANS)

What's she doing?

Kim, that's Marko's workstation.

I just wanna know

what's so urgent.

You can't go through his private log.

Come on, Vincent, tell her!

(CHUCKLES) Oh, yeah.

Like she's gonna listen to me.

- This is bullshit.

- Kim, she's right.

Just 'cause he broke the rules,

it doesn't make it fair game.

There's no way Marko gives a sh*t

about a broken sensor, okay?

I just want to know why his research

is more important than mine.

VINCE:
What?

That's definitely

not what it looks like.

Those cavities in the rock...

those could be microbial borings.

PAH's can be formed

non-organically.

- Sample still under the scope?

- KIM:
I'll check.

All right, anyone want to tell me

what's going on?

Nothing's going on.

He found a piece of

abiotic mineral. Bullshit.

Got it.

(SCOFFS)

Holy sh*t.

- BRUNEL:
That looks like...

- WOMAN:
New cell division.

Bacterial cell division.

BRUNEL:
I want that site locked down.

No one goes near.

We'll upload the scans and

data to Mission Control,

see if they confirm
