Launch Date
FADE IN.
INT. MR. TANDUM’S STUDY – EVENING
MR. TANDUM sips his brandy. His butler, BENNETT enters.
BENNETT: You asked to see me, sir?
MR. TANDUM: Sit down, Bennett. Make yourself comfortable. Would you like some brandy?
BENNETT: Umm…
MR. TANDUM: It’s alright. Feel at ease. Brandy?
BENNETT: Sure.
MR. TANDUM: Here you are…take a sip. Enjoy and feel relaxed. I need to ask you some questions, and I would like you to have as clear a mind as possible for optimal thought.
BENNETT: Yes. Brandy certainly helps one get optimized for optimum thought.
MR. TANDUM: Lovely. Now, if I was to build a rocket ship, what would be the very first thing I would do?
BENNETT: A rocket ship, sir? For space?
MR. TANDUM: That’s right. I want to leave Earth at once and fly into the outer reaches of space, until I hit Mars. Kerplunk!
BENNETT: I see.
MR. TANDUM: Well?
BENNETT: Well, what, sir?
MR. TANDUM: What do you think is the very first thing I should do to build my rocket?
BENNETT: Well, I would have to say that you would need to reach out to experts in the field?
MR. TANDUM: Right.
BENNETT: But, sir…why would you want to go to Mars, if you don’t mind me asking…you apparently have everything here?
MR. TANDUM: Death.
BENNETT: Death, sir?
MR. TANDUM: That is correct.
BENNETT: What do you mean by…death?
MR. TANDUM: You do know the definition of the word?
BENNETT: Yes, sir.
MR. TANDUM: There you have it. I wish to shoot myself into orbit by way of a rocket, in order to die. A much more exciting adventure than what dear old father had done.
BENNETT: But why on Earth, sir?
MR. TANDUM: Is that a pun?
BENNETT: What, sir?
MR. TANDUM: A pun my dear boy, a pun. And I’m asking you about rockets!
