Script – Season one =================== Episode 8 --------- *(music)* --------- :Brett: These hairy, red things are great. What are they called? :Neri: I call them the hairy red things. Here, have some banana juice. Try – is good. :Brett: How do you get juice out of bananas? :Neri: I stomp on them with my feet. What? Don’t you like? :Jason: Um – no, it’s fine. I was just not as thirsty as I thought I was. Plus, it’s time we got back. :Brett: Yeah, people are starting to wonder where we get to. Is it okay if I take some of these? :Neri: Food good? :Jason: Yeah, it was great. :Neri: You enjoy your visit? :Jason: Mm hmm. :Neri: Now it is your turn. I come visit your place. :Jason: You mean – ORCA. :Neri: Mm hmm, tomorrow. --------- :Jason: If she gets caught, we’re all dead, you realize. :Brett: Then why did you say yes? :Jason: Now that she’s got her mind made up, how the heck could we stop her? :Brett: Oh well, look on that she’ll only be here 10 minutes. Then she’ll get bored and she will leave. :Jason: What if she doesn’t? :Brett: She will – leave it to me. :Jason: We’re going to need an indenticard – a day pass would do, I guess. And a uniform. :Brett: I’ll fix the card. You get the uniform. :Jason: How? :Brett: I don’t know. Use your imagination. Steal one. --------- *(music)* --------- :Froggy: You’ve got to be joking. :Brett: Hey, don’t get embarrassed. I knew you wouldn’t be able to do it. :Froggy: I can do it blindfolded. But whyʼd you need a fake identicard? :Brett: I don’t. The other kids were going on about how you can do anything with a computer. Even fake a card. And I bet them you couldn’t. :Froggy: Well, you lose. ’Cause it’s easy. :Brett: Yeah, sure – easy to say. :Froggy: Watch this. --------- :Jason: I made a mistake. I thought it shrunk. --------- :Jason: I hope you’re happy. It was really embarrassing. :Brett: You think you had the tough job. Froggy’s not easy to con, you know, but I did it. :Jason: What’s that? :Brett: Neri’s itinerary. :Jason: Waste processing station. Desalination plant. Air conditioning room? :Brett: We stick to that. Keep her away from all the good stuff. And in 10 minutes, she’ll be begging to leave. --------- :Brett: Neri? You there? :Jason: Neri! :Neri: I’m here. I’ve been waiting. :Jason: Quick, put this on. We’ll have to hide her stuff somewhere. :Brett: No one’ll see it there. If you go behind that, it’d be good. --------- :Vanessa: My other uniform’s gone. Look, it’s just the empty hanger. If this is someone’s idea of a practical joke, they’re going to be very sorry. --------- :Neri: Must I wear them? :Jason: Yes. :HELEN: There seems to be an unauthorized person in the turbo lift. :Neri: Who said that? :Brett: Come on. :HELEN: Welcome aboard ORCA, Mr. Duck. :Jason: Mr. Duck? :Brett: It was the best I could do, okay? :Neri: Whoa! --------- :Neri: Can we do that again? :Brett: No. :Jason: Come on. :HELEN: On behalf of the administration, visitors to ORCA are welcomed. Directory information is available by pressing the “d” panel… :Brett: Neri, come on. :HELEN: Other information is available by pressing the “i” panel. :Neri: It’s beautiful. --------- :Brett: ORCA derives it’s power from ecologically sound, non-polluting sources. Water is ducted through large conduits to the central dynamo where the motion of the tides is converted into hydro-electricity. :Jason: It’s working. You’re so boring, she’s gone into a trance. :Brett: Told you. Power storage levels are constantly monitored by ORCA’s central – :Neri: It’s beautiful. :Jason: What is? :Neri: It sings – like the ocean. --------- *(Whale sounds)* :Dianne: Well, he’s certainly in fine voice this morning. :Winston: It’s funny. He’s never been this close to ORCA before. :Dianne: Maybe he’s looking for something. *(Whale sounds)* --------- :Neri: But I want to go to where you live. :Jason: No, you don’t. :Zoe: Hi, guys. :Froggy: You’re gonna be late. :Brett: Ah, yeah. We’ll catch you up. :Froggy: Okay, I’m starving. :Neri: Why is he starving? There is no food? :Brett: No, he’s just saying that ’cause it’s lunch time. :Neri: Oh – please take me to where you live. :Jason: You wouldn’t like it. It’s really boring. :Neri: I want to, Brett. I want to see where my friends live. I showed you my home. --------- :Neri: It’s wonderful. :Brett: Huh? You’re kidding. :Neri: Comfortable. What’s in there? That chair look not comfortable. :Brett: That’s not a chair exactly. :Neri: What is it? :Jason: It’s a sort of – :Brett: You sit on it when you – :Jason: Anyway, this is the shower. We’re supposed to save water. :Brett: Now there’s just mum’s quarters. :Neri: Your mother. I will look. Pretty things. That’s me. Like in the rock pool. :Brett: It’s called a mirror. :Neri: Drink? :Jason: No perfume. Smells nice. Women squirt it on themselves. :Neri: How? :Brett: The button. But don’t. It costs a for – argh! Oh, do you mind? Supposed to squirt it at yourself. :Neri: Oh. :Jason: Take it easy. It’s mum’s one big luxury. :Neri: Very good drawing. This is mother? :Brett: Yeah. :Neri: Very beautiful. :Jason: Let’s go. :Neri: I’m hungry now. You take me to where the starving boy has gone. :Jason: That’s not a very good idea. :Neri: You will not share your food with me? I share all mine with you. :Brett: You don’t understand, Neri. It’s really tricky. :Neri: I understand. I look funny. You do not want your friends to see me. --------- :Neri: I didn’t think there were so many people in the world. :Jason: Come on. :Lee: Hi. :Jason: Hi, lee. :Lee: Hi, lee. :Jason: Don’t talk. Just order food. :Brett: I’ll do it. :Neri: That looks good. :Brett: You’ll like high nutrition muesli better. It’s the most boring. --------- :Zoe: Hey, we were here first. :Tough Girl: Back off. :Zoe: Thanks for sticking up for me. :Froggy: Hey, what could I do? Hit a woman? --------- :Neri: Looks good. Tastes beautiful. :Jodie: Yuck! She’s eating with her fingers! :Vanessa: Who is she? --------- :Dianne: Winston, look at this. No way is this random behaviour. He’s been circling now for hours. :Winston: And he’s still singing? What’s his sudden interest in ORCA? *(Whale sounds)* --------- :Damien: You must be new here. Maybe I can show you around sometime? :Brett: We’re doing that, thanks. :Damien: Gee, Brett. I like your perfume. Just gorgeous. :Brett: Get out of it! :Neri: Why did you hit him? :Brett: Being friendly. :Jason: Haven’t you had enough yet? :Neri: No, I like it here. --------- :Vanessa: You notice anything about that uniform she’s wearing? :Jodie: What’s to notice? :Vanessa: It’s new. I lost a new uniform just that size. --------- :HELEN: Your attention, please. Would all members of the marine studies class please report to viewing port three. :Lee: That’s us. :Damien: Oh, look, can you tell them to start without me, please? :Lee: You’ll get reported if you’re late again. :Damien: Yeah, I gotta go. I’ll see you later, all right? :Neri: Yes. :Jason: Come on, we gotta go, too. :Vanessa: Excuse me, where did you get that uniform? :Jason: Like it’s any of your business, Vanessa. :Vanessa: I happen to think you don’t mind if I get a closer look? :Jason: Sorry, gotta go. :Vanessa: Wait a minute. I want to see the code tag on that uniform. Come back here! :Jason: What is your problem, Vanessa? :Vanessa: I want to see the tag. :Brett: What are you? The clothes police? :Vanessa: No, I’m the owner of a new uniform that’s mysteriously disappeared. :HELEN: A maintenance technician is required in the treatment area on level delta… :Jason: It’s not our fault you go around losing uniforms. Oh, no! Neri. --------- :Damien: Hey, Neri. :Neri: Hello. :Damien: Hi. So what’s happening? :Neri: I feel dry. I need water. :Damien: There’s a water cooler right here. :Neri: Huh? :Damien: Allow me. --------- :Vanessa: She’s very young for a cleaner. :Jason: She’s a trainee. :Vanessa: Where did you meet her? :Jason: School. :Brett: Holidays. School holidays. :Vanessa: When? :Jason: So long ago, can’t even remember. :Brett: Can’t remember at all. --------- :Neri: Feel good again. :Zoe: What happened? :Neri: He showed me how the water works. :Zoe: He did? :Damien: Yeah. :Tough Girl: Hey, zo zo. We’ve been looking for ya. :Zoe: Give me a break. :Tough Girl: Sure, which arm. :Zoe: Get out of it. Aaah! :Neri: I remember this. This is being friendly. Get out of it. :Zoe: Wow! Stick around, you can be my bodyguard any time. :Neri: No, I must go now. I must see everything. Bye. --------- :Brett: There she is. :Jason: Neri! Neri! Oops, sorry. :Brett: Now what? :Jason: We’ll split up. You take this level. I’ll go up to the next. *(Thrum of machines)* *(music)* --------- :Neri: Hello. :Dianne: Hello. You’re new on ORCA, aren’t you? :Neri: Mm hmm. Today. :Dianne: Well, you really shouldn’t be wandering around because you might get lost. You are lost. :Commander: Doctor, could you check these figures please? Do I know you? :Dianne: She’s new here. :Commander: Where’re you supposed to be working? There’s a communicator in the corridor. Call up your supervisor, find out where you’re assigned and go there. --------- :Jason: Brett! :Brett: Find her? :Jason: She’s vanished! :Brett: Come on. --------- :Vanessa: I’ve been looking for you. :Neri: Why? :Vanessa: Just thought we should get to know each other a little better. What if we go somewhere for a little chat? :Neri: I must find Brett and Jason. Have you seen them? :Vanessa: Ah, yeah. They’re in the recreation room. :Neri: Where’s that? :Vanessa: Come with me. --------- :Neri: Where is Brett and Jason? :Vanessa: They were here a minute ago. :Neri: Oh. :Vanessa: Never mind. They’ll turn up soon. So, they’re old friends of yours? :Neri: Yes. :Vanessa: Quite a coincidence. So, how did you get the job on ORCA? :Neri: I must go now. :Vanessa: Not yet. Where exactly did you get this uniform? :Neri: I must go. :Vanessa: Why? Have you got something to hide? :Jason: Neri, we’ve been looking for you everywhere. Come on, let’s go. :Vanessa: Stay where you are. I think that’s my uniform. :Brett: No, it’s not. :Vanessa: You guys have been up to something for days. I want to know what’s going on. :Jason: You’re a very confused girl, Vanessa. This isn’t your uniform. :Vanessa: Then let me see the tag. :HELEN: Your attention please. Would all day pass holders report to reception prior to departure from ORCA. :Jason: That’s you. Gotta go right now. :Vanessa: Come back here! :Jason: Jodie, Vanessa’s looking for you. :Jason: We have to get her off ahead of the other day staff. :Damien: Neri, where are you guys? :Jason: She’s leaving. :Damien: Leaving? When will I see her again? --------- :Neri: It was a good day. :Jason: You reckon? :Neri: You will hide it there. For when I come again? :Jason: Just go. :Neri: See you soon. :Jason: She wouldn’t come back, would she? :Brett: What do you reckon :Jason: What have we started?
