triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Texto


Aurora: How can there be no way to put someone back into hibernation? What if a pod breaks down?

Computer: No hibernation pod has malfunctioned in thousands of interstellar flights.

Aurora: Well, I'm awake.

Computer: Hibernation pods are fail-safe.

Jim: Good morning. Have you eaten?

Aurora: No. I'm starving. And this is the dumbest machine.

Computer: Happy to help.

Computer: Gold-class breakfast.

Aurora: Well, you're a man of simple tastes.

Jim: I'm not a gold-class passenger. French breakfast puffs above my pay grade.

Aurora: What? This whole time?

Jim: Yeah.

Aurora: What can I get you?

Jim: No. No, I'm fine.

Aurora: Stop it.

Jim: Really. Okay.

Aurora: Here you go.

Aurora: So, I was thinking, maybe there's another way to go to sleep. What about the infirmary?

Jim: I checked it out. It's just scanners and an Autodoc.

Aurora: There could be another hibernation machine in the cargo hold.

Jim: I had that thought, too. And then I read the manifest. It's mostly farming stuff, machines and trade goods. Replacement parts for computers and engineering. We're not going to find a hibernation facility in a box.

Aurora: We could build our own.

Jim: We can't.

Aurora: Jim, you're not even trying.

Jim: I have tried everything. For over a year, I tried everything.

Aurora: Well, I'm not ready to give up.


Aurora: Why did you do it?

Jim: Do what?

Aurora: Emigrate. Leave Earth. I'm interviewing you.

Jim: You're what?

Aurora: You were the first hibernation failure in the history of space travel. That makes you a story.

Jim: Who are you going to tell?

Aurora: Posterity. So, why did you give up your life on Earth? 120-year space hibernation means you'll never see your family or friends again. You'll wake up in a new century on a new planet. It's the ultimate geographical suicide.

Jim: Well, I could ask you the same thing.

Aurora: But it's my interview. Were you running away from something?

Jim: No. Everything was okay.

Aurora: So?

Jim: Well, I guess I just wanted a new world, I don't know, a fresh start.

Aurora: That's Homestead Company advertising.

Jim: Is it?

Aurora: Jim.

Jim: I know. I guess. You're right.

Jim: Back on Earth, when something breaks, you don't fix it, you replace it. The colonies, they have problems to solve. They're my kind of problems. And a mechanic is somebody. This is a new world still being built. I could build a house and live in it. Open country. Room to grow.

Aurora: Now you're back to slogans.

Jim: Can't slogans be true?

Aurora: Do you know how much Homestead Company made off its first planet? Eight quadrillion dollars. That's eight million billion. Colony planets are the biggest business going. Did you pay full price for your ticket?

Jim: No. I'm in a desirable trade.

Aurora: So they fill your head with dreams, discount your ticket, and you fly off to populate their planet and give Homestead 20% of everything that you make for the rest of your life. Not to mention the debt you run up on this fancy starship.

Jim: So all you see here is 5,000 suckers?

Aurora: I see zeros on the Homestead Company's bottom line.

Jim: I see 5,000 men and women changing their lives. For 5,000 different reasons. You don't know these people.

Aurora: I'm a journalist. I know people.

Jim: Really? This one. Is he a banker, a teacher or a gardener?

Aurora: Banker.

Jim: He's a gardener. And her. Is she a Madison, Donna or a Lola?

Aurora: Donna's too serious for that hair. Lola.

Jim: Madison.

Aurora: Shit!

Jim: All right, chef, accountant or midwife?

Aurora: She has to be a midwife. There's no way you just made that one up.

Jim: Yeah. She's a midwife. I didn't know they still had midwives.

Aurora: I like her. We'd be friends.

Jim: You think you can see that?

Aurora: Don't you?

Jim: I do.
