They're going to be Apollo-gizing to the
Senate Appropriations Committee when it
appears that we've stolen one of their
Lunar Modules.
Gwen laughs loudly.
Jeremy starts laughing too.
Cecil stands up. Pops a silly, left handed salute.
CECIL
It looks as if they're planning to
reverse engineer the Lunar Module
technology, sir.
Gwen bursts into hysterics, nearly choking as she fights for air.
Cecil gets her a bottle of water.
She drinks, collects herself. Then enters an adjacent room.
O.S. - Sound of opening and closing drawers.
CECIL (CONT’D)
What do you say, Jeremy? It's going to be
a lot of fun. Are you in?
JEREMY
What about the Pentagon? I already told
some Four-Star General that I would go on
the NASA flight.
CECIL
You haven't signed anything and I've got
some of the best lawyers money can buy.
Gwen returns.
She hands Jeremy a stack of twenty dollar bills. A paper band around the bills reads '$1,000.'
GWEN
This is for dragging you away from your
job today. It's all I could find. We have
little need for cash these days. I hope
it's enough.
JEREMY
This really isn't necessary.
CECIL
Just take it. Consider it hazard pay for
being out on the track during the launch.
JEREMY
Since you're admitting that the track was
hazardous, I accept. Thank you.
CECIL
How about we go get some barbeque down in
one of the hangars?
JEREMY
Sounds great.
GWEN
I've got some things to take care of.
Gwen moves back into the adjacent room.
INT. TWO OCCUPANT DOUBLECAR - DAY
Cecil is driving the DOUBLECAR.
They travel across an area littered with hangars.
CECIL
Are you in possession of any more data
besides the one equation?
JEREMY
I've got about eighty pages of what
appears to be engineering schematics.
Everything's on a data crystal.
CECIL
Schematics? Is this information for sale?
JEREMY
You know the old saying, everything's for
sale at the right price.
CECIL
How much is a trip to the moon worth?
JEREMY
Quite a bit, actually.
CECIL
Did I tell you that I'll be commanding
The Arcus mission? It'll be my first trip
