"there's no need to call the police." "I'm sure they're being very discreet." "this is Unit Four." "naked." "Cop:" "Except for a loincloth." "And keep this one kind of casual. how far could he go?" "keeping this whole thing a big secret." "anything." "You know that." "Do you think maybe we could lose the sound effect?" "No problem." "Sergeant?" "This is Dr. Komack." "I want—I want to report a missing person." "naked except for a loincloth." "And he's with— You did?" "They what?" "! I'll swing around and meet you." "Okay?"

"we can't—" "Put his life in danger again?" "Is that what you want?" "What we want is to give 'im a chance to show us why he's here." "Maybe he just wants to go window shopping."

"You've managed to turn a perfectly good scientific investigation..." "Dick: ..." "There's a solar-powered pet watering dish into a media circus." "...That's a hundred and sixty-nine dollars."

"that was your favorite." "She looked good—" "ah." "ah." "but Komack's right." "I blew it." "a good scientist has got to be prepared to go out on a limb." "He's got to have the courage to make mistakes." "I just wish I could be more like you." "Like me?" "Absolutely." "You do your homework." "Your research is meticulous." "and you don't take chances." "Thanks." "Hi guys." "Hi." "How ya doin'?" "I thought at least we could bring the outside world to him." "look at this." "Hold it." "Jane." "Her name is Jane." "Tarzan." "The original."

"Keewya!" "(Hysterical Screaming)" "Keewya!" "Keewya drowned." "His kid drowned." "Keeya." "Glo:" "Then he drew this triangle." "It was so sad." "But it would make sense." "The child drowned and they never recovered the body." "here it is." "It says here: they sometimes carve figures representing the souls of dead relatives." "that would explain why his doll is so precious to 'im." "If it's his child's soul... that's what he did next" "He put the doll on top of the triangle and he went just like this." "Trying to lift the doll and the triangle into the sky." "Or maybe into heaven." "Does he know about heaven?" "but he knows about gods" "Wait." "If the boy drowned—" "Then they weren't able to cremate the remains." "So instead of the smoke lifting Keeya's soul into heaven..." "He needs us to help him do it." "But with what?" "or something?" "or something." "Magic bird"." "The catalogs!" "Wait a minute." "Jane:" "What are you looking for?" "Show him that." "Link." "Link." "Shuuunda!" "Shunda!" "Shunda." "Shunda." "You got it." "Works for me." "Komack:" "Absolutely not." "Forget it." "This—this guy paddled halfway across the world for the sake of his child's soul." "And you're saying you're gonna stop him from fulfilling—" "I'm saying he's staying right here in the safety of the habitat." "Ant that's that." "isn't there something you can do for us here?" "i-if it were up to me—" "E—eight thousand miles is a long way—" "Can you butt out?" "Now just a minute— and that's the end of it." "El:" "Wrong." "long way." "he can count on me." "On us." "I'm calling the police." "I don't think so." "but they're right." "I think even I would resent being locked up in some monkey home" "Now don't for one minute think this is company policy." "I'm on my own time here." "Stet." "Just don't— Get outta here." "Have a nice day." "this time for sure." "Uh..." "That's it?" "there's something I wanna ask you." "We did it." "About this weekend." "We did it!" "Are you busy Saturday night?" "are you sure this is gonna work? they'll let Link put Keeya on the Shuttle and we'll go home." "It's a piece of cake." "Major." "Richard Stetmeyer from Humanidyne" "We did—we did some work for you last year." "Dick:" "We worked on that tracking system and set it up." "but— and maybe you aren't." "You could be the press for all I know." "it was all over the front pages." "The Russians had a field day." "I'd like to handle this on a friendly basis." "But I want you to know at the outset:" "I'm not without friends in Washington" "Washington D.C." "they're very dangerous." "They could be a threat to our security." "they're not dangerous." "Except to me." "you just better pray they don't crack the perimeter of this base." "My orders are to shoot to kill." "Shoot to ki—" "Seriously?" "You better believe it." "they're dead." "okay?" "just like you and me." "but we're talking the Space Shuttle." "billy:" "So what?" "You think their orders are to shoot to kill?" "Columbia." "Cleared to proceed to runway two seven." "we're still checking that phone call." "but I'm not taking that chance. in exactly forty-seven minutes." "Deanna:" "It's my fault." "it's not your fault." "It-it's me." "this has never happened to me before." "Not with anyone." "it's alright." "It's probably just the pressure." "On the back of my neck." "Right." "Deanna do you still respect me?" "it takes a big man to admit he's little." "rollin' or what?" "No way." "That's not a reasonable man over there." "huh?" "Hayes?" "I don't know yet." "uh..." "Something simple." "Something safe." "Something..." "Absolutely foolproof." "This'll work." "This'll work." "and I killed them." "Stetmeyer." "They're gonna be fine. that's all." "sensible way to do things." "I don't think that'll even occur to them." "by now they've had time to think of – God help us – a plan." "I hope this plan of yours— it'll work." "Okay?" "It's simple." "I'm just addressing this envelope to Major Logger." "Then I'm just gonna drop it off with the Terminator over there." "And he's gonna get in and he's gonna talk to Logger face-to-face." "you know what I mean?" "It'll work" "okay?" "Maybe later." "Ready?" "Yeah." "here we go." "it'll—it'll work." "huh?" "I think so." "who's gonna argue with a seven-foot-four naked black guy?" "Good point." "Officer:" "Please advise." "An all-points bulletin has been issued for a white ice cream truck in the vicinity of..." "Manos." "Manos."
