I'm seeking comments and suggestions.
CUT TO:
INT. NIGHT - OFFICER FAMILY QUARTERS
In the living room Dennis opens the front door and lets
Grace into the apartment. She is wearing earth-toned
civilian travel clothes.
GRACE
Are you ready?
DENNIS
Yes.
Dennis senses something. He turns to find that his Mother
has entered the room in her wheelchair. There is a small
watch case in her left hand.
Dennis now has to go into full gentleman mode.
DENNIS
Mother, this is First Lieutenant Grace
Holland of the Imperial Marine Corps.
Lieutenant, this is my mother, Baroness
Jacquelyn Aella Sterling, Commander,
Imperial Navy Reserve.
Grace nods.
GRACE
I am honored to meet you My Lady.
Grace hears the mentally transmitted (M.T.) voice of Mother
in her head.
MOTHER (M.T.)
I have heard so much about you.
From a rather biased source.
Dennis is a bit embarrassed at this point.
DENNIS
Well, yes.
I'm sure we could dig up a Zhodani file
on Grace if you really want to see an
alternative point of view.
Mother smiles.
MOTHER (M.T.)
Dennis, I want you to take this.
She opens the small watch case to reveal a little boy's
ROGER RANGER wristwatch.
Grace recognizes it as the watch Dennis was carrying in her
future vision.
CUT TO:
EXT. DAY - INDUSTRIAL RUINS
It is raining hard. Dennis is walking away from the point of
view. We see a close up of a small boy's wristwatch in his
left hand.
CUT TO:
INT. NIGHT - OFFICER FAMILY QUARTERS
Dennis is reluctant.
DENNIS
Mother, I can't.
MOTHER (M.T.)
You will need this. Please take it.
Dennis realizes that he is not going to win this argument.
He kneels down before Mother. She closes the watch case and
places it in his left hand.
Dennis leans forward and kisses her right hand.
CUT TO:
EXT. NIGHT - ROOFTOP VEHICLE LANDING PAD
Dennis and Grace load his luggage onto an Air/Raft, an
antigravity version of a jeep, this is parked on the landing
pad. Andrea is in the pilot's seat. After Dennis and Grace
have boarded the air/raft it lifts off and flies toward the
ship landing pad area of the naval base.
