"WOMAN ON PA:" "Remember, the streets are for your recreation." "Crime is bad for everyone." "Please keep our streets safe." "Hey, guys, this next place is gonna be great." "And hear this." "I got discount coupons." "They must've come inside a box of Solar Smacks." "That come with a decoder ring, too?" "Go ahead and joke." "These aren't easy to come by." "Yeah, you gotta eat the whole box before you get those." "Yeah." "You know, if you guys had gills you'd be dangerous." "This place is supposed to be a total blast." "Yeah, well that's what you said about the last five places we got thrown out of." "Yeah, but when we get thrown out of this place we'll save big bucks." "Makes sense to me." "Yeah, you know, I'm kind of beat." "I say we just turn it in, huh?" "Last night of R and R, and I'm out here with a bunch of nancys." "I'm not a nancy." "Look, everybody I know who's been through this port says this place is an absolute, first-class must-see, and we get the must-see at half the freight." "TONY:" "This is it." "Last stop, I promise." "Then we can go home for milk and cookies." "Scout's honor." "I didn't know Tony was a Boy Scout." "Hey, doll, heads up." "The boys from SQ are here." "Well, now my life's complete." "40 each." "Uh-uh-uh." "Halvsies." "Great." "Big night out, huh?" "100 for all five." "What?" "Tony, you said that we didn't have to pay..." "Hey, can it." "Try and delay your whining till you've tried it." "I'm telling you guys, they got these electrode thingies." "You stick 'em on your noggin, you can pretty much dream up anything on your mind." "I'm not so sure you should let him in here." "This mind has been known to do great damage." "They're just jealous." "What about him?" "You got any kid's discounts?" "Pretty big kid." "He eats well." "Look, it's the same for everyone." "Even for high-rollers with discounts." "20 each." "Okay, buddy, I'll spot you." "Thank you." "Instructions are on each console." "You have 30 minutes." "This is gonna be great." "Have a nice daydream." "But it's night." "Exactly." "You, uh..." "You understand Manheim?" "Why?" "Do I look like I don't?" "No, no, that's not what I meant." "Um, I just, I meant that, uh, well, Manheim has some fairly convoluted theories." "They're not always easy to grasp." "Really?" "I always found him sort of elementary." "A lot more basic than Carsten." "You've read Carsten?" "That's amazing." "Amazing that I got through it." "Once you hack through his dense prose, the man's an empiricalist, easily proven wrong." "Don't you think?" "Yes." "Absolutely." "What's your name?" "Look, you've got 30 minutes." "You don't want to waste your money on me." "Um..." "Well, it was nice meeting you." "Yeah, right." "Thank you." "Go." "Right, I'm going." "Goodbye." "(AUDIENCE CHANTING)" "(SINGING)" " Tony!" "Tony!" "Tony!" "Tony!" " Downtown!" "Thank you!" "ALL:" "Tony!" "Tony!" "Tony!" "TONY:" "And they said I couldn't fill an arena with women!" "Tony!" "Tony!" "Tony!" "(SINGING)" "LONNIE:" "Why, Miguel, with talk like that, you just about know how to turn a girl's head." "Well, turning your head is my intention, ma'am." "I just hope it's turning in my direction." "It's talk like that, General, that's bound to get one or both of us regarded in some disfavor." "You know how my daddy feels about my seeing you." "Where's the Captain?" "On his way down, sir." "JAMES:" "Evade, Mr. Ortiz, evade!" "We're doing the best we can!" "TIMO THY:" "All right, all right." "What've we got?" "LONNIE:" "Enemy ship 12 degrees off our port, Captain." "All right, full power." "We're gonna turn this ship around and give 'em a taste of what we've got." "NATHAN:" "Aye-aye, sir." "Coming around... now, sir." "Darwin like Dagwood." "Hmm, Dagwood likes Darwin." "Dagwood nice." "(CHUCKLING)" "TONY:" "These chicks love me!" "Hey, Lucas, what do you think?" "Lucas, oh, this is great." "Ha, ha!" "SANDRA:" "I'm just going to change my clothes." "Make yourself comfortable." "(CHUCKLES)" "This is a photograph of Dr. Alexander Kirby." "That's true, it is." "Uh..." "Uh, why is it in your living room?" "'Cause he's my father." "LUCAS:" "So Alexander Kirby's really your father?" "Yes." "Why do you find that so hard to believe?" "I don't know." "It's just that he's one of the highest ranking science officers in the UEO." "He's pretty much a legend." "Tell me about it." "Talk about trying to follow in your father's footsteps." "The man's a genius, Sandra." "He's brilliant." "I thought we came here for coffee." "Do we have to talk about my father?" "No, no." "It's just that, uh..." "No." "You know, there's no extra charge for sitting down." "What?" "What do you mean?" "You're staring at me." "Oh." "No, don't." "It's okay." "It's nice." "I like it when you look at me." "It's, uh, it's just that I..." "I don't meet that many girls who read Carsten or understand Manheim." "Have you met that many girls?" "No, that's not what I meant." "I..." "I know." "Do you think I meet a lot of guys who even know who Manheim is?" "Do you think I invite a lot of guys up to my apartment?" "Well, I don't." "The thing I hate most about being smart is that most of the time you have to hide it." "Tell me about it." "I spent half my time in school putting adventure book covers over whatever I was reading, so no one would know." "Me, too." "I remember one time," "I was at a soccer game in my junior year, and I dropped my book bag, and Kleiman's Universal Constant slipped right out from behind Nancy Drew and the Mystery at Murder Point." "Talk about getting busted." "You read Kleiman in high school?" "Yeah, and I never heard the end of it." "You're very beautiful." "Ah, you probably get guys saying that all the time." "Not guys that read Kleiman." "Well, I just don't want you to think that I was hitting on you, or something." "You mean you weren't?" "I think I'm disappointed." "No, I..." "I just..." "I just didn't want you to think that it was an act, like I didn't mean it." "Lucas, if familiarity with Carsten's theory of binary logic is just an act," "I can hardly wait to see your next performance." "That was the last time we saw Lucas, Captain." "I mean, we spent the last two hours retracing our steps and scouring every club we got thrown out of." "It's not like him." "He knows there's a curfew at 0200 hours." "The cops don't have anything." "Uh, the good news is no bodies matching Lucas' description showed up overnight." "Oh, that's a pleasant thought." "TONY:" "I don't know what to tell you, Captain." "I kind of feel responsible." "Oh, here we go." "Look at this." "Oh, don't tell me you've been waiting up for me." "Do you realize you're six and a half hours AWOL?" "Uh, that long, huh?" "What, you think this is funny?" "I could throw you in the brig for this." "Oh, I don't think that's going to be a problem." "Oh, no?" "I'm a civilian, Captain." "I'm not sure that a civilian can be AWOL." "You're still a member of this crew." "That's what I want to talk to you about." "I'm all ears." "I'm requesting relief of my duty as Chief Computer Analyst of the seaQuest." "Effective as of when?" "Lmmediately." "Are you sure you don't want to give this a little more thought, champ?" "I have thought about it." "Right." "Which part of you were you thinking with?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "I gotta draw you a picture?" "Luke, listen to your buddy here, the voice of experience." "She ain't worth it." "None of 'em are worth it." "Oh, yeah?" "And what do you know about this, Tony, huh?" "What, you think you're the first one to fall into the pit?" "Get in line, pal." "It's not like that." "Of course not." "She's different." "She's not like the others." "There aren't any others." "(STUTTERING) That's even crazier!" "You're a good kid, Wolenczak." "There's a hell of a lot more to you than..." "Than I thought when I first got on this tug, but you're still a pup." "You ain't even got your fangs yet." "Well, I guess I'm going to have to grow 'em in quickly, then." "Excuse me." "The only problem is, they're gonna end up sticking in your own neck." "Don't do this, Lucas." "Not for a girl you know 10 minutes." "Six hours." "Oh, excuse me." "I didn't realize we were talking deep emotional commitment here." "You know..." "You wouldn't understand." "Why?" "'Cause I'm an ex-con and you're a genius?" "We're guys, Lucas." "And that means we got more of the same stuff running through our blood than different." "I don't think so." "Oh, no?" "How does this fit?" ""It's hard to describe her." "She's, I don't know, she's different." ""She seems to know what I'm thinking." ""All right, sure, she's beautiful, but it's more than that." ""Sometimes she even knows what I'm gonna say before I say it." ""It's like there's this magical connection," ""like maybe we knew each other some other time," ""some other place, like we're supposed to be together."" "Hey, what can I tell you?" "Put a pillow over your lap." "You'll muffle the voices." "I've got to see the Captain." "Kids." "Oh, what are you, my parents?" "And what is she doing here?" ""She"?" "Thank you very much." "All right, I didn't mean it like that." "This is between me and the Captain." "Well, actually, Lucas, this is between you and you, and I'm not sure you've had that conversation yet." "Well, I guess you ought to know." "Lucas, I think you can show a little more respect than that." "I'm sorry, Captain." "I'm sorry." "I just wanted to make it official." "Technically, I don't have to accept that." "I could make you go through channels." "It would take months." "It's just a formality." "All that would change is I would leave a few months later and I'd like you a whole lot less than I do now." "I'm asking you to reconsider." "If this girl is everything you say she is, she'll be waiting for you at the end of the tour." "I can't take that chance." "What if she's not?" "What if..." "What if she meets somebody else, huh?" "Yeah, but that's just the point, Lucas." "If she can't wait, if she meets someone else, then she's not worth giving everything up for." "Oh, that sounds good when you people say it, but that's just not the way people are." "Now, are you gonna accept this?" "Conditionally." "What conditions?" "On the condition that we've got 24 hours before we have to sail out of here." "I just want you to go and have a conversation with her." "This is ridiculous." "No, no." "Sit down, Lucas!" "Now, listen to me." "I know it's not always easy to be reasonable, but I'm not asking anything more of you than your father would." "But he's not here, I'm here." "I want you to go and talk to this girl." "Tell her what your expectations are." "Talk to her about marriage, talk to her about children, about living together." "Anything." "You need time to think yourself." "And if her expectations are the same as yours, fine, and you want me to accept that, I'll accept it." "Nothing's going to change." "All right." "Then you've got nothing to lose." "Right?" "Sandra?" "Oh, no!" "Come on, come on, come on, come on!" "Somebody call the police!" "(BEEPING)" "(WHIRRING)" "Hmm." "Do you know what this is?" "What is it?" "If I knew, I wouldn't be asking you." "Uh, I've never seen it before in my life." "Let's go over a couple of things." "How long have you known Miss Kirby?" "Look, I've already told you that." "Well, I'm a cop." "I don't catch on too fast." "Amuse me." "I just met her." "Right." "And you said that it was something special." "Care to elaborate?" "Not particularly." "All right." "Uh, what do you know about her father?" "Her father?" "The man who married her mother." "Uh, well, I know who he is, but..." "But you don't know him?" "Yes or no will do fine." "Well, she, uh..." "She did say that she worked with him." "Good." "Anything else slipped your mind?" "Look, am I suspect here, or are you just naturally unpleasant?" "Oh, I like that." "Naturally unpleasant." "Yeah, I have to run that by my wife." "She likes to use stuff like that against me." "Look, Mr. Wolenczak, everybody's a suspect until they're not." "Here." "MAN:" "Inspector?" "Yeah." "Uh, nothing too much out of the ordinary." "Found some traces of concrete mixture." "Which means?" "Uh, I'm not sure." "Mr. Wolenczak, I'm going to have to ask you to stay around." "Uh, I need to ask you some more questions." "Go back to the ship and stay put, and if I need you, I won't have to be looking for two people." "If you hear anything..." "You're on my mailing list." "You forgetting something?" "Thanks." "What's your take?" "Well, he's telling the truth." "Look at this." "Nice and steady, no bleeps." "Actually, he seems rather disturbed by the whole thing." "You know, one of these days you're gonna get busted with this thing." "But until then... (CHUCKLES)" "Oh, hey, are you, uh, Lucas Wolen-chuh-zak?" "Yeah, Wolenczak." "Yeah." "Someone dropped that off for you." "Who was it?" "Uh, I never saw him before." "He just said you'd be coming out of 1018, Miss Kirby's place." "Thank you." "(BEEPING)" "Thought I might find you here." "Lucas not back?" "Not yet." "It's going to be okay, you know." "I know." "Pretty rusty in my fathering, wouldn't you say?" "Well, who knows, maybe he found the right girl." "The right girl?" "After one night?" "Well, I'll take that back." "I was 17 myself once." "And you survived." "Amazing." "But you did." "We do." "No word, huh?" "Mmm-mmm." "These are very beautiful." "What do you do to make it grow like this?" "Patience." "And a lot of attention." "Do you have to design it so it comes out this way?" "No, nature does it." "I just help." "A little judicious pruning here and there." "I work on them all the same way, but they all grow up a little different." "Surprising and beautiful." "Just like children." "See you later." "(BEEPING)" "Sandra?" "(TAPPING)" "You lose something?" "Uh, actually, I was looking for someone." "Oh, don't tell me." "A girl?" "Yeah." "Well, cheer up." "You came to the right place." "Lucas?" "Lucas?" "Lucas, are you all right?" "Sandra." "Oh." "Bad idea." "Oh, Lucas." "I'm so sorry." "This is all my fault." "You're hurt." "No, I'm all right." "No." "I'm okay." "No." "No, you're not." "They did this to you." "They can't get away with this." "It's okay." "It doesn't hurt." "Sandra, what's going on?" "Who were those guys?" "I don't know." "The call themselves the Freedom Fighters Liberation Army..." "Something like that." "Head cases." "What do they want with you?" "You." "I don't understand." "I think they must have followed you last night." "They saw us together." "I guess they figured they'd use me to get to you." "For what?" "Why?" "I don't know." "Well, guess you didn't write this, then." "No." "Lucas, I never meant for any of this to happen." "No, no, it's all right." "It's not your fault." "SANDRA:" "You probably hate me for this." "No." "No, I don't hate you." "I could never hate you." "Do you think it's possible to know someone for only a few hours and still know you can look a lifetime and never find anyone you feel the same way about?" "I know it's possible." "Aren't you glad that we arranged this little reunion?" "What do you want?" "Not much." "Just the seaQuest." "The seaQuest?" "You're out of your mind." "Mmm, maybe so." "But, uh, that doesn't change anything." "And just how do you plan on getting the seaQuest?" "Well, now that we've got you here, you're going to get it for us." "You're dreaming." "And you're living." "Count yourself lucky." "On the other hand, I'm not so sure your girlfriend is quite as lucky." "(ZAPS)" "Oh, she's okay." "I just gave her a little love tap." "It wouldn't do to kill her yet." "Might make you feel less cooperative." "Get him out of here." "FEMALE REPORTER:" "Vladimir Kamenker was sworn in today as the third Chancellor of the United Earth Oceans." "Seen here with his wife, Marika," "Kamenker's pledge to solidify and strengthen the UEO policy won him a handy victory over his opponent, Myah Singh, the independent candidate." "(DAVID SIGHING)" "You see, that's what we're trying to stop." "The UEO." "No, fascism, bureaucracy, government domination..." "Mental healthcare." "You think this is funny?" "No." "I think this is crazy." "We want the Dead Man's codes for the seaQuest." "I don't know what you're talking about." "That's what I thought you'd say." "When the UEO designed and built the seaQuest, they weren't going to leave their most expensive project to chance." "Knowing full well that part of the seaQuest's mission was potential combat, they were willing to risk the lives of the crew without risking the boat itself." "Wait a minute." "Where did you get these?" "DAVID:" "In the event that the crew of the seaQuest was killed or incapacitated to the point where they could no longer commandeer the boat, they designed the Dead Man's feature." "With the proper code sequence, the entire boat can be brought to any location by remote control." "How am I doing?" "I wouldn't know." "The codes are changed and scrambled on an intermittent basis." "One set is kept with Secretary General McGath at UEO Headquarters." "The other set is flashed into read-only memory on board the seaQuest's main computer." "Whoever has the codes can control the boat." "No, that's incorrect." "I thought you didn't know anything about this." "You've got only half the information." "See, helm control always has priority." "But that's only if somebody is at the helm." "We happen to know that the seaQuest is about to embark on a three-month tour of West Pac tomorrow afternoon." "We also happen to know that the UEO always likes to throw a big bash the morning before departure." "With the exception of a small skeleton crew tomorrow morning, no one will be minding the store." "Like I said, you're out of your mind." "Well, maybe after we have the seaQuest, people will feel differently." "Dream on." "Listen to me, boy wonder." "I'm not playing games here." "There's no way my people can get onto that boat." "But you have free access to the boat and to the central computer." "I want that coded chip." "Robert's gonna be right by your side." "This camera will make sure that where he can't be with you, he'll be watching you." "Don't remove it." "You take one wrong step, you even nod at somebody the wrong way, and I'm back here, where I'll begin to take your girlfriend apart piece by piece." "You'd be surprised at how much pain a human being can endure before they die." "You try and get away, which you won't, I'll find you." "And I promise you, you'll beg me to kill you." "LUCAS:" "They can't get away with this." "Lucas." "I'll be here." "Ten minutes." "Hey, Lucas, what are you doing here?" "Hey." "Uh, I just have to take care of a few things." "So, how's the big romance?" "Uh, it's great." "Look, are you the only one working here?" "Yeah, at the moment." "So, come on, tell me about her." "What's she like?" "She's just great." "Yeah." "And?" "Look, could you do me a favor?" "What?" "You need a little female advice?" "Okay, pay attention." "It's really very, very simple." "Tell her you love her at least once a day, and always listen." "Whatever she's talking about, always listen." "Okay, well, thank you, but that wasn't the favor." "Um, I've got to close out some open logs here, and I'm really in a hurry." "Can't stand being away from each other." "It's great." "LUCAS:" "Yeah, something like that." "Um, there's a book in my quarters." "Uh, Menker's Physics." "I'd get it myself, but I..." "Hey, no problem." "Menker's Physics." "Anything else?" "Uh, no." "I just really need that book." "Back in a flash." "All right." "(BEEPS)" "(CHUCKLES)" "It's gotta be Piccolo's." "Boys." "You got me." "Lucas, I don't know where you hid that... book, but..." "Lucas?" "Make sure you check the amperages on that transmitter." "We only get to do this once." "ROBERT:" "We've got it." "I've got what you want." "Now, where's Sandra?" "Give it to me." "No, no." "Not until you bring Sandra here first." "I can assure you, Mr. Wolenczak, that my daughter hasn't been harmed." "Dr. Kirby." "I suggest you do as he says." "David's a good soldier, but he has a hair trigger, and you never know what's going to set him off." "I don't understand." "Where's Sandra?" "Right here, Lucas." "Give me the chip." "SANDRA:" "I don't want to have to hurt you." "Sandra." "Well, we've got a little more than we did eight hours ago." "Thanks." "Uh, seems Sandra Kirby isn't all the sugar and spice Mr. Wolenczak imagines her to be." "What did he tell you about her?" "He said that, uh, he was enamored of her, that, uh, he thought she was very bright." "Someone special." "Bright and special." "Well, she ought to be." "Her father is Alexander Kirby." "The Marseille Study Dr. Kirby?" "That's the man." "From what I hear, he was supposed to be the cream of the cream of the UEO Science and Research Division." "Was?" "Well, it seems the Doctor holds some very unconventional political ideas, and he was given an enforced leave about two months ago." "In the meantime, UEO has been preparing a case to dismiss him from his post." "How can a man of Dr. Kirby's stature be dismissed for political reasons?" "It's gotta go beyond that." "What I've pieced together is that in the last few months, some highly classified documents that were under the supervision of the Doctor have been tampered with." "So that started an internal investigation, and the investigators have been waiting to gather more evidence." "But what does all this have to do with Lucas?" "Well, he's young and impressionable, and Sandra Kirby is attractive, and some of her ideas may be very appealing, considering the package." "I don't believe that." "I don't think Lucas would go for any cockamamie political ideology." "He's a scientist, not a polemicist." "He's too smart for that." "Do you know a lot of men who are too smart when it comes to women?" "Inspector, where do we go from here?" "You can go wherever you want." "Preferably back to the boat to see if Mr. Wolenczak shows up." "I have a long night ahead of me." "We're hoping to track down the good Doctor." "If we come up with anything, I'll let you know." "Thanks." "Oh." "This is yours." "Oh, thanks." "I almost forgot it." "All right, ten degrees south, southeast." "Right." "Perfect." "I'm coming down." "We're set." "It's so simple." "So perfect." "Three hours." "That gives you time to recheck all the systems." "Now that we have the codes, when we transmit them," "I want to make damn sure they'll be received." "We've already been through it 100 times." "Good." "Make it 102." "You all right?" "Look, if I thought you would understand..." "Oh, I understand, Sandra." "You and your father want to make the world a better place." "And you disapprove?" "Be careful what you wish for," "'cause a better world won't have room in it for people like you." "Make sure these bindings aren't too tight." "If he needs something, see that he gets it." "TONY:" "I'm telling you, we were just out on the town..." "Just doing a guy thing." "We just sort of ended up there." "Sort of?" "So your stopping at Virtual Dreams was pure coincidence?" "Well, that and the fact that I had discount coupons." "Where did you get these coupons?" "A guy gave 'em to me." "What guy?" "A guy." "First day of leave, guy walks up to me, says," ""Here you go, Mac," shoves an envelope in my hand." "What, I'm not supposed to use 'em?" "That's enough." "Thanks, Tony." "Thanks." "Sure." "You have any luck finding Dr. Kirby?" "No, he seems to be as hard to find as his daughter." "We're ready." "(ZAPPING)" "Excuse me." "That's a broadband ES." "Yeah, with Lucas' ID on it." "What is it?" "It's an emergency signal that flashes on any available receiver." "Let's go." "What the hell's going on?" "I don't know." "We're transmitting some kind of distress call." "Well, shut it down." "I can't stop it." "It's locked." "The chip." "What the hell did you think you were doing?" "Trying to save your life." "MAN:" "Right there!" "(POLICE OFFICERS CHATTERING)" "Back off!" "I'll blow him away!" "I mean it." "Back off!" "Sir, my men can handle this." "No." "I got backup on the way." "Wait a minute." "We've got a kid over there." "What if your backup doesn't get here in time?" "SANDRA:" "I mean it!" "NATHAN:" "No, wait!" "All right." "Brody, go ahead." "DONNEGAN:" "You're surrounded!" "Give yourselves up!" "Put your guns down before anybody gets hurt." "Give yourselves up!" "It's over." "Where do you think you're gonna go?" "If you don't want to see this guy splattered all over the pavement, anywhere we want!" "Sandra, Sandra, don't." "DONNEGAN:" "Don't be a fool." "Think this over." "Come on." "Listen to me." "JAMES:" "Over their heads now!" "When you're up to it, I'm going to need a statement." "Donnegan, he needs a little more time." "It hurts, huh?" "More than you know." "Well, for what it's worth, I'm not going to accept your resignation." "Maybe you should." "Why?" "You were a valuable piece of manpower when you came aboard." "Why should I give you up now that you're older and more mature?" "Excuse me." "I suppose you expect me to say that I'm sorry." "No." "No, I don't expect anything from you." "We're a lot alike, Lucas." "You mean, the "I read Kleiman in high school" act?" "Sandra, we're nothing alike." "When it comes down to it, Lucas, you followed your heart, and I followed mine." "Hi, I'm Peter DeLuise." "And I'm Michael DeLuise." "BOTH:" "And this is Winston DeLuise." "MICHAEL:" "A 2,000-pound Pacific walrus, and the largest in the seal and sea lion family." "PETER:" "Winston's unshaven look isn't just to be cool." "His whiskers help him find food, like snails and clams." "MICHAEL:" "But a walrus's most amazing feature is his teeth." "Most have 18, including these babies." "Ivory tusks, which they use to haul themselves out of the water." "In fact, the scientific name for walrus is tooth-walker." "See you on the next exciting episode of seaQuest."
