<You thought it was stupid. Come on, Vincent! You can say it!> [No, Rose! I understood the logic behind it. I just wasn’t sure that, even if the bacteria worked, the aliens were gonna get the right message.]
<We don’t know that they did.> How can you say that, Dr. Franklin? They left, didn’t they?
<It’s Rose, remember? We don’t know why they left. We don’t know if that’s what they really wanted us to do. This is just what Mr. Burns told me. He knows more about them than we do, but he hasn’t talked to them. He was probably guessing as much as we were.> Why else would they have left?
{Because Dr. Franklin sprayed them with some goddamn goo!}
[General, maybe you should try some of Eva’s juice.]
It’s apple juice.
{Shut up, Couture! That’s an order!}
Seriously, Rose. Why else would they leave?
<Your father can guess. Ask him!> Vincent?
[I don’t know! I think, maybe, they could have been scared by the bacteria. What if all their robots, their ships, maybe their homes, are made using the same technology. Imagine for a second what would happen if some of that bacteria made it to their world.]
…
What was that?
[I can’t remember what I was saying. Did the light just get brighter?]
Maybe.
[I think Themis just powered up.]
<Without any of the helmets on?> Can she do that?
{I don’t know! I’ve never been in this damn robot of yours.}
Vincent?
[The console is lit up. Eva, get up there and put your helmet on.]
Sure. But we’re in a garage! What do you expect me to see?
[I don’t know, Eva. It’s just a hunch.]
I’m putting it on. I … I don’t think— [What is it, Eva?]
<Eva?>
{Goddammit, kid! What do you see?}
Guys? I don’t think we’re on Earth anymore …
