PECOS (CONT'D)<br />

project leaders, a native of this<br />

great state--<br />

Behind her, we see New Jersey lean over to Reno.<br />

NEW JERSEY<br />

She's not going to use my alias.<br />

She never uses my alias.<br />

PECOS<br />

--my esteemed colleague, Dr. Sidney<br />

Zwiebel.<br />

New Jersey steps up to <strong>the</strong> podium, shaking her hand.<br />

NEW JERSEY<br />

Dammit, Pecos! I told you, in front<br />

of <strong>the</strong> press, it's "New Jersey."<br />

This echoes across <strong>the</strong> airfield over <strong>the</strong> PA. Embarrassed, he<br />

covers <strong>the</strong> microphone with his hand, collects himself, <strong>the</strong>n<br />

proceeds.<br />

Pecos smirks and takes <strong>the</strong> empty seat next to Reno. Reno and<br />

Pecos exchange a look that tells us <strong>the</strong>y're madly in love.<br />

PENNY looks at her watch and <strong>the</strong>n scans <strong>the</strong> horizon.<br />

NEW JERSEY<br />

Ladies and Gentleman, as you know<br />

from our press release, today's<br />

experiment represents <strong>the</strong> next<br />

logical step in utilizing <strong>the</strong><br />

matter penetration technology we<br />

were able to harness in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Banzai</strong><br />

Institute's recent Jet Car<br />

experiments. Of course, <strong>the</strong> unusual<br />

series of events following that<br />

experiment delayed our follow up<br />

research a bit while we ascertained<br />

<strong>the</strong> safety of future tests.<br />

PECOS<br />

(whispering to Reno)<br />

This will kill some time, but if<br />

he's late again, it's your turn to<br />

make excuses for him.<br />

RENO<br />

Lemme borrow your go-phone. Left<br />

mine in my o<strong>the</strong>r suit.<br />

Pecos hands him a GO-PHONE - a mobile VIDEO PHONE, with a<br />

built-in microphone, camera, and two-inch color screen.<br />

Reno presses a series of buttons, and in seconds <strong>the</strong> face of<br />

PERFECT TOMMY appears on <strong>the</strong> screen.<br />
