People change in relation to each other. Love changes on its own.
Not if the people change together in relation to that love.
Sure. But that's only when the love itself goes unchanged.
Then the relationship remains the same and the love changes only when there's change in the two people who share that love.
I just wish it was that simple. We really were in love. You know how it is when you laugh all the time.
No. It's hard to LAUGH when your father's dying.
Well, we laughed. We laughed all the time.
Are you on the Mercury mission?
That's right, Striker. And we're getting married when we return.
You're seeing bugs where they don't exist, Striker.
Look at this wiring. It's shorting out under high temperatures.
You're tired, Striker, overworked. That wiring meets all the safety specifications.
I know you've been subtly spreading the word that I'm having a breakdown.
Striker.
Kurtz, you're drunk. Who's in command of this ship?
That damn computer has taken over. I'm getting out.
Then Elaine was right.
Don't talk to me about Elaine. Outta my way!
Pull yourself together! We've got to...
I have to see Bud Kruger.
Do you have an appointment, sir?
No, dammit. It's a matter of life or death.
You'll have to be more specific than that, sir.
All right, it's a matter of death.
Death, death. How about the first Thursday in March, ten o'clock.
You can't go in there!
Don't try to stop me!
But that's not a door. The door's over there.
You folks need any help?
Thanks, but we have a terrific woman in on Thursdays.
Say, isn't that Dr. Barrington, the world renowned agronomist?
Yes.
It's a privilege to meet you, sir, I'm familiar with all your work.
Let's go, Daddy. We have to check in. He was never appreciated at the Institute.
Ah, yes, the Institute, I'm familiar with it.
Now he's DYINGing and wants to be buried on Mercury.
Captain Oveur?
Mr. Kurtz, I presume.
We don't have much time. Let's move. I'll explain everything.
That's how dry cleaning works. Now I'd like to quickly go over the digestive system of amphibians.
Do you think it's necessary to explain <u>everything</u>?
Good to be aboard, gentlemen.
Captain Oveur, your navigator, Mr. Unger, and your first officer, Mr. Dunn.
Whenever your're ready, Captain.
Yes, sir, commander. This is Mercury One. Everything seems A okay up here and ready for countdown.
Which passenger is Joe Salucci?
Sixteen 'C', why?
He's carrying a bomb.
A b...
No, a bomb. Now, as discreetly as possible, I want you to move the passengers into the lounge.
What should I say?
Anything. Just don't let Salucci think we're onto him.
A couple eggs and juice would be nice, Mary. Over.
How would you like your eggs, Captain? Over.
No. Poached. Over.
Poached <u>and</u> over, Captain Oveur? Over.
Just poached on toast. Over.
That's how I want them. Poached. Over.
All right, Captain Oveur. Over.
Poached! Not over! Over!
Captain, the coffee machine is jammed and I don't like it.
Have you tried it with a little cinnamon?
Joe, you don't want to blow that thing and kill all these innocent people.
I don't want to live anymore.
Joe, the insurance policy won't help your wife and kids. You bought auto insurance, not life insurance.
What?
That's right, Joe. Now, no one's going to hurt you and no one has to know what's wrong with you.
You're sure?
I'm sure.
Take this, Joey. It's my last few bucks. You'll need a hot meal when you get there.
We've spent everything on these operations. Is it really worth it? We've pawned your mother's wedding ring. The kids have no winter clothes...
Joey, what's more important, the kids' clothes or your sexual potency.
I don't want to hear that word!
Okay, Joey. The Doc says you gotta relax. This hospital in Des Moines is the best sex clinic in the country.
All right. Here.
What...?
Come on up, Jimmy. Say, that's some puppy. What's his name?
Scraps.
Can I hold him?
Sure.
He's a boy dog.
Yeah.
Do you like it when Scraps sleeps on his back, Jimmy?
Will Scraps be able to sit with us, Dad?
We'll have to check, Jimmy. It's a pretty long trip to Mercury.
I sure an glad they let Scraps ride up here with us.
I bet Scraps is going to love Mercury.
Do you think things will be a lot different on Mercury, Dad?
It's going to be terrific. A whole new world, new kids to play with.
How many kids get a chance to live on another planet.
No more kids yelling, 'Your old man's a thieving rapist'?
Look, a man can make an honest mistake!! Anyway, she was asking for it! They're all asking for it all the time!!
Intermitant failure in scan mode "R". Analyze.
Negative.
That doesn't make sense. Repeat analysis.
Negative.
That's not possible.
Cut the Doubting Thomas shit, Elaine. I know where I'm coming from on this.
Elaine, I'm sorry about that little outburst a moment ago.
That's okay, ROK.
