38. SHOT – MED BAY – DAY – INT FREIGHT How many calories did I lose? SHIP’S COMPUTER 2400. FREIGHT WHAT? SHIP’S COMPUTER 2400. FREIGHT That’s more than was in the Shitbucket Pie. Beat as the ship doesn’t say anything. FREIGHT Are you sure? SHIP’S COMPUTER 2400. FREIGHT Shut up. Freight slides with his back down against the wall, muttering to himself. SCENE – MED BAY - INT – DAY Freight turns his head at Bob. Bob ’looks’ back. FREIGHT Well. (beat) I guess there really isn’t any other choice then. Freight walks over to a table, takes out a sheet of paper and draws on it. He takes the piece of paper, tears it off, and crumples it and then throws it away. He does this a second time and throws it away. A close up of the blue print reveals a set of elaborate straps designed to put him into the Medical chair. He stares at Bob. (CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 37. FREIGHT There is no way in hell I am going to be able to eat this.... Freight picks up the bucket and puts it into the vent. FREIGHT Bob...take this to the mess hall. BOB (clicks twice) FREIGHT Just do it. BOB (Clicks) Freight then climbs into the vent after him. SHOT – INT – MED BAY – DAY Freight puts the bucket under a microwave sterilizer just to be sure. He then pours it into the creator. He then types in the settings for a Shepard’s pie. It makes a Shepard’s pie. FREIGHT Well...it looks OK. Freight tries to it it. He puts the fork down. Freight picks the fork up and tries again. He puts the fork down. Freight goes and picks up a bottle of ’Space Whiskey’ and gets roaring drunk. He picks up the fork and manages to eat the Shepard’s pie. SCENE – RESTROOM – DAY – INT Freight ralphs into a sink. He throws up a rather large amount. Then he stops, starting to recover, and slowly walks away from the sink. Then he gets sick a second time and walks back to the sink and starts to throw up again. He stays there for a good thirty seconds, near throwing up but with nothing happens. Finally, he moves to another sink and washes his face. He shakes his head weakly and starts to walk away, then getting a sick pallor on his face, running back a third time and throws up. He slowly crawls out of the room.

CONTINUED: 36. FREIGHT So...its calories? SHIP’S COMPUTER Yes. FREIGHT gets up and crawls through and access shaft. SCENE 4 - INT – RECYCLING CENTER – DAY Freight goes to the recycling center. It is a large room which is hard to enter. CLOSE UP – GRATE – DAY – INT Freight puts his fingers into the grate, trying to get it to move. This does not work very well. CLOSE UP – VENT – DAY – INT Freight is all bunched up in the vent and can’t reach his arm back far enough to hit the vent. Freight slowly moves backwards. CLOSE UP – VENT – DIFFERENT ANGLE – DAY – INT Freight is forced to reverse course and and approaches the vent backwards. He then tries to kick the vent, but isn’t tremendously successful. He slides forward every time he tries this. Finally, he signals Bob. Bob wheels up to the vent and drills tiny holes in the floor. Freight pushes off of Bob and kicks back on to the Vent, knocking it out of its socket. WIDE SHOT – RECYCLING CENTER – DAY – INT He slowly moves down into the room. FREIGHT Good God! He reacts to the smell and moves slowly back covering his mouth and nose. He rotates his head around. Freight spots a bucket and walks over towards it. He picks it up and then moves towards the main vat which is full of ’recycled’ material which appears and smells like shit. He nearly gags a few times but then lowers the bucket into the pool and pulls it out. (CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 35. FREIGHT What are my chances of survival? SHIP’S COMPUTER 35% FREIGHT Not the best odds, but how many calories would it generate if I ate that? An amount shows up on the screen. Freight’s eyes bulge out. FREIGHT Could that be undone later? SHIP’S COMPUTER Yes. But the procedure would be very expensive. Freight considers, and then sighs. FREIGHT Let’s look at other options for now. He gets up and leaves. SCENE 3 - INT – SENSORS – DAY Freight reads the ship’s sensors and notices that there are areas that are ’gray’. He fiddles with the buttons. He smiles triumphantly as it shows a calorie reading. He performs navigation using the map and sees that he has to go through some tunnels. FREIGHT What the hell is that? SHIP’S COMPUTER Ship’s recycling center. FREIGHT But there is no ship’s garden. I wouldn’t think you’d reuse stuff. SHIP’S COMPUTER It is still processed. (CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 34. BOB (Clicks.) Freight laughs to himself as if he thinks it is a stupid idea. He points the sensors on the bridge. A bright light shows up. FREIGHT What the...BOB! We’ve hit the.... He moves to the right a little. The blob moves to the right. FREIGHT God damn. Its me. Wow. I’m worth a whole lot of calories. Too bad I can’t eat me. He laughs and then gets an odd expression on his face. He then runs out of the room. SHOT – MED BAY – DAY – INT Freight runs up to the doc machine and types in instructions waiting for an explanation. FREIGHT Wow. Look at all that cyberware. Hey ship, just how much of myself can I replace with this stuff? SHIP’S COMPUTER Please sit in the chair. Freight gets in the chair. SHIP’S COMPUTER Scanning. Mechanical stuff happens. SHIP’S COMPUTER 90%. FREIGHT 90%?! SHIP’S COMPUTER Yes.
