Script To Screen


The Dorcons

The 17th November script ends with Tony asking Maya "Is there anything else in your Psychon past that we ought to know about?", and Helena and Koenig's "My place or yours" comments. The original epilogue in the 19th October script was longer. Maya enters Command Center and announces she has woken from a beautiful dream. Script thanks to Johnny Byrne.

MAYA (contd.)

(smiling impishly)

Actually, Commander, it was
something you said which sparked
off my dream...

KOENIG

(puzzled)

Oh ... what was that?

MAYA

You asked me about my Psychon
past...

KOENIG

Yes.

MAYA

We-ell...

(she looks at TONY)

There was this marvellous trip
I made to the Southern Flora
Region where I met a simply
gorgeous, blonde, handsome
Psychon

CARTER

(joining in the fun)

Tell me more...

TONY

No you don't.

(he sweeps MAYA
off her feet)

I'm not interested in your
past ... just your future.

TONY carries her out of the door. As they exit, MAYA
smiles and waves to the others over TONY's shoulder.

CARTER

Come on Sahn, let's go and do
some work on that new inter-
Eagle communications system.

SAHN puts down her coffee cup and follows CARTER out.
The door closes behind them.

KOENIG

(smiling, turns to
HELENA)

Well, Dr. Russell, and what
about our future ...

HELENA looks preoccupied, sad.

KOENIG

Hey, what's troubling you?

HELENA

(shrugs)

The past ... the future...

KOENIG runs his fingers over her brow.

KOENIG

What's in the past has gone ...
fate has played us some strange
hands but we 've won through in
the end.

(HELENA smiles)

As for the future ... that starts
right here and now.

He takes HELENA in his arms and kisses her.
