INT. RAYNES KITCHEN – NIGHT
Scott enters. Thad is in the main kitchen, leaning against one of the counters, drinking slowly out of a beer bottle. He is wearing a fresh shirt.
Scott approaches Thad, but slows, keeping some distance between them.
Thad only shrugs and takes another pull from the bottle.
Thad stares at Scott.
Thad sags against the counter, looking slightly defeated.
Scott looks thoughtful.
Thad takes a deep swallow from the beer bottle. It is nearly empty at this point.
Thad seems to relax and brighten slightly, but tries to hide it.
Scott sighs and looks away from Thad. After a moment, he looks back at Thad, trying to meet his eyes.
Thad looks warily at Scott. His face takes on an expression of a kind of longing.
Scott smiles and offers his hand out to Thad. Thad looks toward his eyes and hands
Scott the near-empty beer bottle. Scott looks down at it and, with a smile, drains the rest of it.
Thad manages a weak smile. Scott tilts his head toward the workshop.
Scott and Thad exit the kitchen together.

SCOTT
I wondered what was taking you so long . . .

Thad only shrugs and takes another pull from the bottle.
SCOTT (CONT'D)
We could use your help, you know.
We could use your help, you know.
Thad stares at Scott.
THAD
What's the point, bro?
SCOTT
(frowns)
What do you mean? They need our help.
THAD
(sharply)
They don't need our help. They don't need us.

THAD (CONT'D)
I mean, what's the point? (beat) You saw Elizabeth's screen. They have all the specs. They know all about how it's supposed to work--does work, will work--whatever.

Scott looks thoughtful.
SCOTT
(quietly)
They do need us.
THAD
Bullshit.
(quietly)
They do need us.
THAD
Bullshit.
Thad takes a deep swallow from the beer bottle. It is nearly empty at this point.
SCOTT
They do. (beat) They know how it works, bro. But none of them have ever actually built one. Elizabeth says that she's helped repair them once in a while, but it's really not her specialty.

Thad seems to relax and brighten slightly, but tries to hide it.
THAD
(shrugs)
It's just parts.
SCOTT
(nods)
Parts. And knowing how to put them together.
THAD
(forlornly)
They can do that.

Scott sighs and looks away from Thad. After a moment, he looks back at Thad, trying to meet his eyes.
SCOTT
Bro, do you want to be part of this or not? (beat) History says we were.
THAD
Their history.
SCOTT
(shrugs)
So? Looks to me like it's our history too.

Thad looks warily at Scott. His face takes on an expression of a kind of longing.
THAD
I always thought we'd be the ones to do this . . .
SCOTT
(gently)
And we will. (smiles slightly) At least, that's how history will remember it.
THAD
It'd better.

Let's go, bro.

Yeah.
