It belonged to my dad.
I don't know no Buzz Fazeli.
Look Sid, a Buzz Burger. The Faz's favorite lunch. Sid reaches for the plate. Buzz walks over to the booth and pulls his burger away from Sid.
Hey, cut it out Sid, that tickles. I'm serious! You guys are related, right?
He's my dad.
Heh, heh, heh.
You said it would be unethical to help me. You call dwarf bowling ethical!
Sorry about your loss.
I should've pegged you guys for bowling dicks from day one.
After we ID, we bury the body. Case and casket closed.
You tried to make it look like Junior trashed his place. Junior's underground in that coffin you dicks put him in.
It's splitsville for you.
You a minigolfer?
Nope.
Paradise, huh? Might be one of the new puttputts off route 99. Theo turns to leave.
Can I get you something for the road?
You have orange whips?
Orange who? Not from 'round here, are ya?
No. I'm from Akron.
I'm an addict. I can't go through a day without the stuff. Theo reaches over and pours for him with a steady hand.
You're not from around here, are you?
I'm from Akron.
I'm looking for a man.
What kind of man?
A bowler.
99 years, 241 days, 15 hours, and 20 minutes of no bowling. Alfie shuffles up to the selfserve island and begins wiping it down.
Find your bowler?
Yeah, but it didn't go so good. He wasn't the man I thought he'd be. Theo is trying to affix the lid on his cup, but his hands are trembling, spilling some of the coffee.
My father used to say to me "Never..." no, hmmm. "Always..." No, no... Ah! Love and hate are blood relations.
Maybe I should have left the ball in the car.
Did you hear about that bowler who got smeared? I saw them pull a body bag out of the alley. I heard he was kacked but good. They had to take apart the pin machine to get him out.
The pin machine?
Just like Junior did the last time; lane six. All's I know is it's gonna be a closed coffin. My advice to you is to lay low. He puts on a pair of dark 7Eleven shades, flips up his collar and skulks away.
Officer Taylor, how are you this evening?
Mac. What's shaking?
Mac, I have a favor to ask you. Mac looks at Taylor
Certainly. If you need anything, please feel free to ask me. Just a reminder we have fabulous cuisine available
Yes I know all that. Mac, I need you to help us out with a little technical problem.
Certainly. I have a full working knowledge of the ships operations.
Right, I understand that...
I need you to actually do something for me. I need to access your CPU, directly.
That will not be necessary. You can simply speak to me. I understand most languages fluently.
Yeah but the ship's mainframe doesn't. I need you to tell it something.
Alteration of my central processing unit should be done only by an authorized service dealer.
I know but we're in a bind.
Now Mac, can you tell me the status of this deck?
One moment please... one moment please...
But the corridor outside this door is open, correct?
Yes. You can enjoy some wonderful views from there.
Mac, what about the suit compartments on this level? Can they be accessed?
I'm sorry. The suit compartments are in a nonoxygenated, zero gravity atmosphere. I'm afraid that's off limits to all passengers.
Ok Mac... I'll talk to you on this. I want to find a way to get to the bridge, then I want you to come back.
Certainly. Anything I can do to be of service.
How is it looking, Mac?
I would recommend a maintenance crew in this sector.
Is it safe for human transport?
That's affirmative.
Look. We're talking about life and death here. I don't know why we're even having this conversation.
Well what would you know about it? You don't have anything to lose.
You're gonna give him those bank codes, you know why? Because I'm telling you to, that's why. I'm not losing my life over some greedy pig.
Who are you calling a pig, rummy?
I haven't quite made up my mind yet.
I'll tell you what you're gonna do. You're gonna stay put like Taylor said.
Again with the orders from you! You got a Napoleon complex chief, and I'm getting sick of it!
What are you going to do about it?
I tell you, something's not right here. How do we know they're not going to use the pod for themselves?
Because, Taylor wouldn't do that, that's why.
What makes you so sure?
What the hell is that?
The engines!
I'm homesick.
Homesick? It's only been two days!
We should have gone to Nassau. At least we could go swimming, lie on the beach.
Ah hell we can always do that. Listen believe me, once we get to the moon, your tone is going to change.
How is it going to be different from this? Go see some boring footprint under glass?
Look you were the one who wanted to do something different, something to tell all your friends. Any chump can go to Nassau.
Look around you baby, we're rubbing elbows with royalty, oil sheiks, this is class. You'll be envied by everyone.
I guess so.
Besides I can't wait to tee off on the sea of tranquillity. That should shore up that prick Hank Drexler.
Oh no...I think there's carrots in here...
Send it back if you don't want it.
Well now what are we gonna do!
How am I supposed to know?
You're Delbert Miles! You have more clout than some whacked out pilot! Talk to him!
Talk to him...Jesus...
It's getting too cold in here. I can't stand this anymore!
Baby, take it easy.
How can you sit there with your fat stomach and tell me to take it easy! I want to go home! I want to be warm! I want to get out of here!
What is happening around here!!!
There's no time to explain. Get everyone together! We found a way to the pods!
Where's Taylor?
He's up on the bridge! He's going to be OK. Now who's missing?
Carlo!
He's in the bathroom.
I'm going back for Taylor!
Are you nuts! It's too risky!
I'm fine.
Congratulations on your...recent award.
Thank you.
Is there anything I can help you with?
