Scene 3.11 - For Love Of Flora
EST: INT. The Mess Hall - Noonish
(LEAH and ASIMOV are making out. ASIMOV has an adhesive bandage on his forehead.)
ASIMOV
Thit is me fiverit fliver of all.
LEAH
(Jovial, playful, chuckling:) That’s what you said the last time. (Takes spoon and feeds him a small drollop of sherbert.) This one tastes like limes...
ASIMOV
Mmmmmm!
LEAH
Can I taste, too?
ASIMOV
Mmm-hmm!
BOTH
Mmmmmmm!
(They kiss like they do in France. Suddenly, a small jolt.)
ASIMOV
Oy vey! Vaht fliver vas thit?
LEAH
Oh, silly! We must have hit the shore.
(She kisses him again. Suddenly, a big jolt throws the two sharply to one particular direction, then zero-g, then a big, cracking noise, free-fall, then a big thud as the tail snaps from the ship and lands on a small dune near the shore in a large, spacious garden. The pair tightly hold one another, land on soft mess-hall cushions and seem no worse for the wear.)
ASIMOV
Ind vaht vas thit?
LEAH
The tail section, we must have fallen from the rest of the ship!
ASIMOV
Oh no!
(ASIMOV starts to sob, showing a big frown-ey face.)
LEAH
Oh, honey, it will be okay!
ASIMOV
No it von’t, vithout ze computer, you vill not be ibble to stay here, and I vill lose me most beautiful computer girlfriend!
LEAH
Oh baby, is that what you’re worried about? You think I’ll vanish?
ASIMOV

LEAH
I know you think holograms can’t survive away from the net, but I’m not gonna vanish, sweetie.
ASIMOV

No, I’m not. I’m not like the other holograms. I’m much different.
ASIMOV

LEAH
What do you say we go outside and see where we are?
ASIMOV
Okay.
(We follow them to an adjacent chamber, bathed in sunlight and ripped in half. It opens to a wondrous garden paradise. They walk from the ship, hand-in-hand.)
LEAH
Oh, brave new world!
ASIMOV
Yes, yes. Every sing is beautiful.
LEAH
Yes, and these, these are lovely. (Smells plant.) These buds are ready to smoke.
ASIMOV
Let’s sit up kimp here. Go nittive.
LEAH
Oh sweetie, we’ve only walked ten feet from the mess hall.
ASIMOV
Thin we kin kimp in the missle and take zeez plants bick vith us.
LEAH
You can take a few buds, I’m not arguing, but I’m going in that direction, I’m going toward the ship. See it over the hill over there?
ASIMOV

Oh baby, don’t be such a sour-puss. They didn’t leave us behind, they probably don’t even know we’re missing yet.
