ISRA 88 (2016)

-You don't understand!
[inaudible]
taking every genealogists space.
- None of that matters now.
- Look, it matters to me.
It matters that the only other
person here is now crazy!
- Protocol 214 B explains
procedures for when you go nuts!
-It's complicated!
And I need you to understand!
- You're acting crazy!
-No!
-What are you gonna do with those?
-In May of 1941, the war had just begun.
The Germans had the bigger ships,
they had the biggest guns,
the Bismark was the fastest
ship that ever sailed the sea.
On their decks were guns as big as steers
and shells as big as trees.
Out of the cold and foggy
night, came the British ship The Hood.
And every British seaman,
he knew and understood,
They had to sink the Bismark, the
terror of the sea ...Stop those guns.
Stop those guns as big as steers
and the shells as big as trees.
We'll find that German battleship
that's making such a fuss.
We've got to sink the Bismark
'cause the world depends on us.
Hit the decks a running boys
and spin those guns around,
When we find the Bismark,
we got to cut her down.
The Hood found the Bismark
and on that fatal day
the Bismark started firing
fifteen miles away,
we gotta sick the Bismark
was the battle sound.
But when the smoke had cleared
away, the mighty Hood went down.
For six long days and weary nights
they tried to find her trail.
Churchill told the people
"Put every ship a-sail."
'Cause somewhere on that
ocean I know she gotta be.
We've got to sink the Bismark
to the bottom of the sea.
We'll find that Ger, am battleship
that's making such a fuss.
We've got to sink the Bismark
'cause the world depends on us.
Yeah hit the decks a running
boys and spin those guns around.
When we find the Bismarck
we gotta cut her down.
The fog was gone the seventh day
and they saw the morning sun.
Ten hours away from homeland
the Bismarck made it's run.
The Admiral of the British fleet
said turn those bows around.
We found that German battleship
and we're gonna cut her down.
The British guns were aimed and
the shells were coming fast.
The first shell hit the Bismarck
they knew she couldn't last.
That mighty German
battleship is just a memory.
Sink the Bismarck was the battle
cry that shook the seven seas.
We found the German battleship
it was making such a fuss.
We had to sink the Bismarck
cause the world depends on us.
We hit the deck a running and
we and spun those guns around.
Yeah we found the mighty Bismarck
and then we cut her down.
We found the German battleship
it was making such a fuss.
We had to sink the Bismark
'cause the world depends on us.
We hit the deck a running and
we and spun those guns around.
Yeah we found the mighty Bismarck
and then we cut her down.
-What the hell is this?
- I don't have the
card and not just the
card, it's not that
it's your job...
-It's your fault! You told me to tell her!
-Now, look, I'm using the [???]!
-I'm using the [???]
-Alright, guys, don't argue about it.
Wear something else and clean up for me.
-With what?
-Harold.
Look what I found.
-Standard issue.
All flight kids have them.
-Don't you think it's a little unnecessary
in our... particular scenario?
-Standard issue.
Heard they were close.
So far hunting blacks.
Almost completely lost
sight of everything.
- Has it occurred to you yet that our
distance is relative to growth?
It's meaningless.
How can I explain?
It's like one of those... math problems.
You know... if... if train A is
traveling east at 85 miles per hour,
And train B is also heading
east at 85,000 miles per hour,
at what point does train
A catch up with train B?
- You know, they never
give you anything for
nothing in this world.
You gotta fight for it.
All my life I've been a fighter.
I fought for everything
I've got; I've fought for
everything that's in here.
Fight, fight, fight.
- The show must a lot for
letting them fight.
-I got to get a name for the kids.
-Still straight?
-Still away?
-Hi, Lieutenant.
- Some people say a man
is made out of mud
well a poor man's made
out of muscle and blood.
Muscle and blood and skin and bone.
A mind that's weak and
a back that's strong.
You load 16 tons and whaddaya get??
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Saint Peter don'tcha call
me 'Cause I can't go.
I owe my soul to
the Company Store.
I was born one morning
when sun didn't shine,
I picked up my shovel
and I went to the mine,
Loaded 16 tons of number nine coal,
And the straw boss said:
"Well, bless my soul!"
You load 16 tons,
And what do you get?
Another day older,
And deeper in debt.
Saint Peter, don't you
call me, Cause I can't go,
I owe my soul to the company store.
I was born one morning,
it was drizzling rain,
Fighting and Trouble are my middle name,
I was raised down the Canebrake
by an old mountain mine, And
there ain't no hard-hearted
women make me walk that line!
You load 16 tons,
And what do you get?
Another day older,
And deeper in debt.
Saint Peter, don't you
call me, Cause I can't
go, I owe my soul to
the company store.
If you see me coming,
you better step aside,
A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died.
My one fist of iron, the
other one of steel,
And if the right one don't
getcha, then the left one will.
You load 16 tons,
And what do you get?
Another day older,
And deeper in debt.
Saint Peter, don't you
call me, Cause I can't go,
-Harold?
What the hell was that?
Harold?!
What was that?!
Harold!
Harold?
Damn it. Harold...
Harold?!
- You're the one who
aggravates me.
-I know.
I've seen this one already.
That's the one where
he thinks his friend is dead, but
he's really just asleep. It's like...
he puts on this makeshift
pre-stuffed and starts
reading this guy's last rights.
When the dummy finally wakes up, he...
he starts freaking out because
he thinks he's dying and...
you're not gonna wake up.
- Red said that all the
guys like me down there.
-Baby, you got to quit.
-What a drag.
You ain't coming back.
That's what I'm asking you!
How does this work?
Still straight.
Still away.
Straight and away.
- blue line... does it have
anything to do with the color?
-No, it doesn't. Just keep it down flat.
You can't do it? You home?
-No, this is good. I look like a statue.
-I got that.
Now, a little bit on the lighter side.
Sometime after the
courageous launch of ISRA 88,
Dr. Abe Anderson and Lt.
Col. Harold Richards
continue their voyage through space.
Here with us tonight...
via two satellites...
Dr. Abe Anderson and Lt.
Col. Harold Richards.
Gentlemen, welcome.
And please tell us: how are you?
-Hello, Mr. Westin!
I'm... I'm doing really great.
Thank you for asking.
-Good... um, so...
years in, Doctor, what do you and
your pilot do to pass the time?
-Um...
well, a secondary objective of our mission
was to observe
the effects of zero gravity on the
flight patterns of honey bees.
Those bees recently died.
So our results are inconclusive.
Uh, either than that we... um...
we have a hard drive full of old TV.
-We had a pinball machine, but that...
Broke.
-Oh, well...
one more question,
uh...[indistinct]
-I... I... I'm sorry.
Mr. White, could you repeat that?
We have some static on our end.
-Sure. Any sign of your main objective?
Any sign of the end of the universe?
-Um... um...
no, sir.
We think it will be much, much
longer before we see the end.
The only... sign we can predict
will come before our
destination is the total
loss of sights of all stars.
Um... and even if this occurs, we have no
idea how much longer our trip will be.
-That's interesting. well, it, uh... oh!
It's... I guess we're out of time.
So, I would
like to thank you
gentlemen for joining us
and we wish you a safe...
- Goodnight.
- and successful journey.
Goodnight.
-So the disk is above the blue line.
Does it got anything
to do with the color?
- No. I suppose.
Just keep it down flat.
I can't do this. You in?
-No, this is good. I look like a statue.
-I don't know.
Well, a little bit...
- Some time after the courageous
launch is premeditated,
Dr. Abe Anderson
offered...
Dr. Abe Anderson and Lt.
Col. Harold Richards.
Harold Richards. Gentlemen, welcome.
And please tell us: how are you?
-Hello, Mr. Westin!
I'm... I'm doing really great.
Thank you for asking.
- So, uh... years in, Doctor, what do
you and your pilot do to pass the time?
-Follow the Ophthalmoscope, please.
Cmo Se siente, Dr. Anderson?
- Oh... okay.
- You're like Lewis and Clark.
- General Christie has a few things
he would like to make clear.
-Three.
- What I am most curious
about is the Multiverse.
- First and foremost we
would like to thank you.
Your bravery for this
mission is commendable.
Your participation in this task is both
strategic and necessary for the advancement
of the U.S. Military...
- Of course. There's always a possibility
of cosmic uncertainty.
- Furthermore, the would like to remind
you you are still a private citizen.
As science officer, you
hold no military authority,
nor do you represent this
country, continent or planet.
Under no circumstances
are you to act as a
representative for people
of the United States.
- The universe is more contained
than we originally thought.
I thought it was going to curve like
the bell of a trumpet... or... or
spill out and spread like
water from a hose, but
- you will follow military protocol.
All forms will first go
through General Christie before
being submitted to publication.
- Tiene pies pequeos.
- In accordance with section... 15.
-Just doesn't add up. Don't underestimate
fictional realism.
- Quite frankly sir, the U.S. military
has final edit on all publications.
Including but not limited
to all news media,
print-magazine and newspaper,
- Unresponsive?
- As well as scientific...
- We're working with
theoretical numbers here.
Right? I mean, this
is beyond imaginary.
If you can imagine.
-If we deem your discoveries detrimental
to the safety of this
country, continent or planet,
it will be deemed classified.
Here are your release and waiver forms.
-Levante su brazo, por favor.
-Yes?
Yes! Doctor...
-Anderson.
Doctor Abe
Anderson.
- Yes.
Doctor Abe Anderson.
I hope most of you have had the opportunity
to read Dr.Anderson's publication.
Yield Electricity.
A marvelous piece.
Come down; come on down.
Mhmm...
This two manned mission is the
most advanced of its kind.
The data we have collected
thus far is remarkable.
And we're not even in space yet.
- Yes, but... isn't the data theoretical?
It just seems too early.
-Well, that's exactly it, doctor.
All we have at this point are
theories and hypotheses.
Sir,
this is the greatest abstract
question of our world.
And we have a chance for a physical answer.
-It just seems like an unnecessary risk.
-It is a risk
we should take.
This seems like the best time to
introduce Lt. Col. Harold Richards.
The military said something about
equal parts brain and brawn,
and so Lt. Col. Richards will
be piloting out mission.
With our collective minds,
and the bravery of these two men,
we can reach any distance
and find every answer.
Together,
we will pursue as Kennedy said.
Not because it is easy,
but because it is hard.
There is much we can discuss.
Abe, you're gonna need to
brush up on your math,
And... uh, Harold,
you're gonna need to discuss your protocol.
You got your PhD in marine biology.
Is that correct?
- Yes.
- Well...
I think you'll find that, uh...
floating in space is
kind of like floating in the ocean.
-Levante El brazo, por favor.
-He's fainted. Grab the salts.
-Possibly stress.
The man has been under great stress.
-Please finish... signing the form, sir.
-Abe...
puede hacer una cuenta regresiva
desde tres, por favor?
-What's you last name?
- I'm going to have to allow
fir his low stress efficiency.
-Thank you, doctor.
Your country thanks you.
-Come on, lieutenant colonel!
You've been pushing papers so long
you forgot how to run!
Being in the force is
like a day at the fair.
Except it's all ups and downs and
none of that delicious cotton candy.
-What's with the squid?
-He passed out during the exam.
-Richards... welcome.
We're just going over some
science stuff. You know?
- I'll have some forms for you to
sign later, lieutenant colonel.
You have to toughen up.
We'll be reaching three,
pushing four G's on takeoff.
-I was... never very good at physics.
-You're alright.
Takeoff's gonna be really though, though.
-Well...
let me look at you two.
Let me look at the spacemen.
-He's... fainted again?
-That's gonna be annoying.
So much easier when things are automated.
When things stop working,
sometimes.
You gotta do it yourself.
-You know, I saw this video once
where an electric eel
killed an alligator.
The eel swam up to the
gator and kind of just...
just taunts him
until the gator
sinks its teeth right into the eel.
It takes you a second to realize the
gator isn't in control anymore.
The gator starts seizing.
Then he finally stops.
- Do you have a problem... with
me feeding them?
They seem to like it.
-Just doesn't really seem like you.
Not following procedure.
Your funeral.
- Where's my five
dollars allowance?
- You got to use your own money
or you don't have any allowance.
-What money? I aint got any money.
You think I'd just bring it up?
I get five dollars.
- Well, I did... but I have to save
your five dollars on the dentist.
-Oh... good.
You're alive.
Dumb... but alive.
-What's that supposed to mean?
- He shows that line all the time
but never really hits her.
- Do you know what any
of those things do?
That button you just pushed.
What's it do?
-Doesn't matter.
-Ah... I see.
-Ship's gotta run,
and I gotta run this ship.
-No, you don't.
Everything here is automated.
What makes you think this
ship doesn't fly itself?
Why would they
leave that to you?
Don't push that one! No1.
-What are you talking about?
-let's see what happens.
-Now, isn't that against procedure?
I certainly don't wanna
find out what happens.
-Oh, it's good for you. Risks are good.
-Shut up.
You don't do any call around here.
Just because you realize you're
useless, doesn't mean that I am!
I fly this ship!
-You hit me!
You didn't push the button.
We're still moving!
Aren't we?
None of this stuff matters.
Everything is pre-programmed. We are moving
through space and we'll never stop.
We keep going through the same
motions over and over again.
And we're not changing anything.
-What did you do?
Where did you hide the sardines?
-I sent them into space.
You already hit me.
-Country smokehouse jerky.
Good in the home or on the trail.
Country smokehouse.
-Can I get everyone's attention, please?
Uh...
I know that... uh...
history books are going to re... recount
the... the two-manned mission
to the end of the universe... uh...
But... we just... we wanna make
sure that... that you all know
that it's because of your
contributions and your hard work,
that's what put us there.
Alright, so... um... a toast?
- Sounds good.
- Yeah...
Raise your little booze bags.
- [all together] To space!
- Yeah!
- Like that?
- Oh.
- Oh, it's bad.
- Alright, congratulations.
- Congratulations.
- Congratulations.
-Ah, what a job well done.
- (Whispering) To space.
-MAN: Good job. Really good.
- In 1814 we took a
little trip Along with.
Colonel Jackson down the
mighty Mississippi.
We took a little bacon and
we took a little beans
and we caught the bloody British
in the town of New Orleans.
We fired our guns and the
British kept a-comin'.
There wasn't nigh' as many
as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and
they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico.
We looked down the river and
we seed the British comin'.
And there must have been a hundred
of 'em beatin' on the drum.
They stepped so high and
they made the bugles ring.
We stood behind our cotton
bales and didn't say a thing.
We fired our guns and the
British kept a-comin'.
There wasn't nigh' as many
as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and
they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico.
Old Hickory said we could
take 'em by surprise
if we didn't fire our muskets
'till we looked 'em in the eyes.
We held our fire till we
seed their faces well
then we opened up our squirrel
guns and gave 'em... Well we
fired our guns and the
British kept a-comin'.
There wasn't nigh' as many
as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and
they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico.
Yeah they ran through the briers
and they ran through the brambles.
And they ran through the bushes
where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the
hounds couldn't catch 'em.
On down the Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico.
We fired our cannon till
the barrel melted down.
So we grabbed an alligator
and we fought another round.
We filled his head with cannonballs
'n' powdered his behind,
and when we took the powder
off, the gator lost its mind.
We fired our guns and the
British kept a-comin'.
There wasn't nigh' as many
as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and
they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico.
Yeah they ran through the briers
and they ran through the brambles.
And they ran through the bushes
where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the
hounds couldn't catch 'em.
On down the Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico.

Ain't got time to take a fast train.
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home.
My baby just-a wrote me a letter
I don't care how much money I gotta spend.
-Five... six... seven...
eight... nine... ten....

Country smokehouse.
-Hey.
Hello?
Hello?
- Announcer: There's no better
way to thank you father-in-law
for a great hunting trip than a gift
basket from Country Smokehouse.
Specializing in wild game
and domestic products.
That's Country Smokehouse.
-You been there all day?
-I didn't do anything today.
-Everyone's allowed to play hooky.
Every once in a while.
Man on T.V.: I don't know.
Every time I get out
there, something happens
to bring me down.
I don't care for myself.
I've gone there a long time with me.
- (man on radio) Gimme a
ticket for an aeroplane.
Ain't got time to
take a fast train.
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home.
My baby just-a wrote me a letter.
I don't care how much money I gotta spend.
Got to get back to my baby again.
Lonely days are gone, I'ma goin' home.
My baby just wrote me a letter.
Well she wrote me a letter
'cause she couldn't live
without me no more.
Listen mister can't

get back to my baby
once more, anyway.
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane.
Ain't got time to take a fast train.
Lonely days are gone, I'ma goin' home.
My baby just-a wrote me a letter.
- Tell me you're gonna fix

-singsongy: I'm here for you.
- Man on TV: What am I talking about?
I got the
name of it. There's no
name on that for me.
- -Man on TV 2:Rock.
Man on TV 3:Wait.
-You fix that hunk of junk yet?
- Man in TV: rob the same family.
- Nope.
I made this neat necklace.
And look...
I made us matching bracelets.
-Take those off.
You look like one of those
lame baseball players.
- Come on, now. I
worked hard on these.
They're supposed to
relieve pain or something.
WHISPERS: I thought I lost you.
-Fed your eels today.
-There's an automated feeding system.
- MAN ON TV: And now, the Country
Smokehouse Comedy Hour: Abe Anderson.
With the stars Harold
Richards and Mary Anderson.
-Mary!
- You're late from work,
darling. What happened?
- Never mind them, Mary.
Where is my supper?
- But Abe...
- No buts...
Mary, we've been married
almost ten years now.
I thought you knew this.
There's one thing
a man needs after a long day of work.
- Abe...
- One thing he's been looking
forward to all day.
You see, a proper man needs a proper
meal when he gets home from work.
- Abe...
- Now, Mary,
If that man doesn't have
a hot supper waiting
for him when he gets
home from work,
you tell me what gets him through the day!
-Are you finished, Abe?
- Yes.
I suppose I got my point across.
- Wonderful.
The bird's in the oven along
with the potatoes and the pie.
I thought I'd try to keep it warm
since you hadn't gotten home yet.
You said a proper man
deserves a hot supper.
-Yeah!
- Then I'll go ahead and throw this in
the ice chest to cool it off a bit.
-Late for work.
See ya, sweetheart.
- Abe!
Your coat, Abe.
- Right.
Toodles, darling.
- Abe...
Your hat.
-Right.
Bye, honey.
-Abe?
It's Saturday.
You don't have to work.
-Right...
- Seems like the only thing you can
remember is breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Now I'm going to the grocer's.
I'll be back in an hour.
- Don't forget the milk!
- Speak for yourself!
I'll see you soon, sweetheart.
-Hey, Abe!
-Harold...
come look at this.
"Memory Linked to Fortune."
-So?
-So? So?!!
So we need to work on our memory.
The more we remember,
the more we have.
- A Mnemonic device.
-A Mnemonic device!
It's a way of remembering.
-Huh?
- Like "In 1492, Columbus
sailed the ocean blue."
-But... oh! hey, I can't swim!
-Now, show me these flashcards.
-It's a honeybee!
-In May of 1941, the war had just begun.
The Germans had the bigger ships,
they had the biggest guns,
the Bismark was the fastest
ship that ever sailed the sea.
On their decks were guns as big as steers
and shells as big as trees.
Out of the cold and foggy
night, came the British ship The Hood.
And every British seaman,
he knew and understood,
They had to sink the Bismark, the
terror of the sea...
Stop those guns as big as steers
and the shells as big as trees.
We'll find that German battleship
that's makin' such a fuss.
We gotta sink the Bismark because
the world depends on us.
Hit those decks a-runnin' boys
and spin those guns around.
When we find the Bismark,
we gotta cut her down.
-What is tonight's meal?
-New York Diner.
Burnt and watery.
-Yep... just like mom's back home.
- What do you got on the
agenda for today, Doc?
- Oh, mostly working
with the bees today.
The hive's almost ready
for another harvest.
- I love that space honey.
- Hmm.
-Space...
-That was close.
-Hi captain.
-If only.
- How's the ship?
- Still straight.
Still away. How're the bees?
-Still busy... still buzzing.
We're harvesting tomorrow.
- Space honey!
Yes!
-You know how this thing works?
-Yeah. I mean... kinda.
It's like a... jet ski.
But with space.
All that government funding
for a giant jet ski.
How fast are we going?
- Anything less than 330 million
and I'm supposed to be concerned.
-That's fast.
-Faster than my '69 Cuda back home.
- You'd think being stuck inside
that room with all those
buttons and lights and
switches you'd have enough.
-No. No high score.
Demmit!
You distracted me.
7 million...
145...
thousand, 600.
Hey, you're up, doc.
-Nah, don't feel like playing tonight.
-Forfeit? Victory.
-Ah... standard issue.
So I suppose Ralph Kramden...
Kramden is standard issue as well.
-In May of 1941, the war had just begun.
-It's harvest day.
This year's crop is sure
to make us through winter.
-Space honey.
I'll have to go down to cargo
and get some extra bread.
-Well, that was easy.
Looks like I have this down to a science.
What the hell?
Harold?
Harold?!
-Abe, I'm on my way!
-Hey Harold,
check this out.
-God bless it, Abe.
-I've never had a beard.
-I didn't expect to see you up here.
-I don't... like to
go... up here.
-Wait...
if you're here,
and I'm here,
who is flying the ship?!
That was supposed to be funny.
-Well, it was funny.
I don't understand how you can
come up here... every day.
-Well, it's not bad.
I just look at all the
stars and planets.
I don't see emptiness.
It's like we're the pinball
and we're flying past all the bumpers.
I think it's beautiful.
-Not as pretty as my wife.
-Why did you take this mission?
-My country asked me to.
-That's quite the sacrifice.
- There was... a great tax
break for my family.
I couldn't pass it up.
You?
-Science asked me to?
-What's out there?
-I know it's more than anyone expected.
There could be other realities out there.
A completely different universe.
-Careful... you don't wanna tilt.
-I am unstoppable right now.
Damn.
-Damn?
9 million, 989 thousand,
423?
You almost maxed out the machine.
- Some men need heavy
hammers, give me flippers.
-So... uh, where is it, doc?
-Ah, space honey?
- Some men need flippers,
give me space honey.
Want some?
- Oh, no.
I've had plenty today. I
can... feel my teeth rotting.
Do you really get a tax
break for being here?
-Well, my family did.
You didn't?
- No.
No one said anything
about taxes.
- You're really here
for the science?
-Yes.
- Damn, doc, how could
you've ever left that?
-She left me.
I wanted to get as far away
from there as I could.
Time can heal pain.
I'm gonna try and train those bees.
-What? Like "roll over"? "Sit"?
- I think it'd be similar
to carrier pigeons.
-You're up.
-Hey, Harold.
I've got some...
sort of new special.
Don't touch the table!
Don't touch the table.
-Sorry.
-Gotta be free of controversy.
Concentrate.
- Don't even breathe!
- Fingers are cramping.
- Stay on target.
Why's it still making that noise?
-Maybe I broke it.
-No. You better not have broke it.
-Do you still hear beeping?
-Doc!
Doc! there's something
wrong with the bee... tank.
-The bees are dead.
-Hey Harold...
Harold...
-Yeah, buddy?
-Are you awake?
-Sure.
-Yeah, me, too.
-Something wrong?
-I don't know.
-Is it... the bees again?
-No, they're actually thriving.
I just can't sleep.
-I didn't sleep well as a kid.
Military bases are always...
awake.
My mother used to tell me to... think of
something that makes you really happy.
Really relaxed.
Just... focus on that,
relax,
and you'll slip right into a dream.
-WHISPERS: Okay, I'll try it.
-'Night, Abe.
-That's what's keeping me awake.
My wife.
And this was... before we were married.
We were great, Harold.
- What happened after
you got married?
-I don't know.
You know what I mean?
Heck,
I can't remember everything, but
she was making dinner one night,
her signature dish, it was
chickpeas and rice and...
and vegetables or something all cooked
in soy sauce and Cayenne pepper.
-Sounds... interesting.
-It was pretty good.
I loved it.
I thought it was so cute,
how she made it her own.
Really the only thing
she ever cooked.
So, we were cooking and...
we were joking around and...
she stopped for a second.
She turned to me and she asked me if
I thought I was funnier than her.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
I mean, of course I was,
so of course I told her so.
Her face immediately
scrunched up.
I still don't understand, though.
I mean, she can be the smart,
pretty one,
why can't I be the funny one?
-(yawning) I guess you have to pick one.
-I know I was the funny one.
I guess over the course of our
relationship, her sense of humor
slowly
mirrored mine.
That's how I know she loved me.
WHISPERS: I wish I could get back to you.
-Hey Abe,
why are there a bunch of pictures that
kind of look like me in your notebook?
-It is you.
But you're not dead yet.
That's a good sign.
-Y-yet?
- I'll explain later. Can you hand
me those... those blueprints?
-W-what are you doing?
-Trying to figure something out.
-Get down from there!
- Well, if you hand me the blueprints
like I asked you to a moment ago,
I can explain.
- But Abe... don't!
Get down! Don't do this!
Get down. It's the green one!
- Let go!
Let... go!
- No!
You're gonna kill me or something. There's
like 30 sketches of me dead in that book.
Explain.
-I need those! Get...
- No! Not until you explain!
- It's complicated.
-Why... are you drawing me... dead?
- Those are pictures... of
when you already died.
-What are you talking about?
- I keep remembering things
so I draw them, or I...
I draw them and then remember things,
-Doesn't make any sense.
Protocol
states a procedure for
when you go nuts.
-It started with the bees.
I started drawing
them a lot... hundreds of
doodles and sketches
and then I started
drawing them dead.
And then they actually died.
-The eels?
- Yeah, I don't understand
most this stuff. It's
pieces that I try to put together.
-But you had some
vision that they killed me?
- No, no... they're... they're
fragmented memories.
The drawings are a
catalogue of them... I....
I st... I start doodling and
don't even realize it and then I....
I look at a sketch and I'm
trying to remember something...
-So what will you see next?
-It's... it's not like that. I don't...
I don't know, I remember.
This all happened,
will happen,
is happening,
I'm not sure it's only
happening to us, either.
- I'm not sure it's only
happening to us, either.
-So...
he was going to kill me.
Harold, wait!
-This is... this is right, Abe?
-I don't know.
It's not a science.
-You're a scientist.
What kind of scientist are you?
-Marine biology, but
I don't... I don't know if I'm right.
-So you were gonna cut wires?
On a hunch?
Maybe some water gets out
of the tank and I... I slip.
I don't know.
Maybe you don't die.
Maybe that's what changes.
If you... if you flip past
the path I started...
drawing all of these...
white cracks...
against black.
- Like the ground.
- I have no idea.
-Yes. In... in the water.
- what that could mean, but
then a couple of days ago,
I drew this hat...
-How did I fall into the tank?
-I have...
I have no idea what it means.
-If I put my hand in here,
- And you think it's enough
to kill a man?
Huh? Stop!
- is that how I die?
Come on! Do you remember anything?
Come on!
I'm not dying.
(screams)
-Damn.
What's out there?
Damn it, Harold!
What?
I think I've seen this one.
You were gone a while.
-I stopped at this flea market.
-I like your hat.
-Oh, I got it for you.
-Oh, it's way too small.
-No, it looks cute on you.
-Babe... it just rests on my head.
It fits you pretty well.
You look pretty good with it on, too.
-Well, thank you.
-I'll go get that.
I'll be back to help.
-Hello?
-The green.
Eel.
- I'm...
I'm sorry?
- The...
green... eel.
That's unfortunate.
Nurse Walters... That failed.
Dr. Withersford?
- How are you doing?
-I'm... okay.
Listen, I have to...
- Dr. Anderson,
I regret to inform you that the position
you volunteered for has been filled.
My sincere condolences.
-Huh...
well, thanks... for the call.
-Get down!
Stop....
-Fucking.
-You remember which one to cut?
-I think it's the red one.
- What does it do?
- I can...
I can't remember for the life of me.
- Well how about for mine?
-Red. It's red.
-I knew it was the green one.
