Script courtesy earth62.net
Maggie <checking the timer> : "Ten hours."HTWD: Does she STILL have the >:-#ing timer???? ARE THE OTHER THREE INSANE??? <The others have gotten down from the bed but Remmy stays there> : "Wake me at the millennium." SL4: Millennium jokes don't age well. Maggie: "I'll wake you in ten hours." TBH: Who died and left her in charge? SL4: Arturo, Quinn, Colin ... Diana <looking concerned> : "You just had a good sleep." HTWD: That was during the movie "Traffic." But theater seats are not that comfortable, so I need some real sleep. Remmy: "I've got this headache that won't quit. Got to stop using rocks for pillows." SL4: Rock pillows were secretly developed by chiropractors. Little known fact there. <Remmy rolls over and is immediately asleep. The others exchange concerned glances.> Diana: "Maybe he should see a doctor." TBH: <mimicking Diana> : A REAL doctor, not one like me. Maggie: "He's just tired." HTWD: Carrying a series by yourself WOULD make you tired. Diana: "Or it could be something else. It could be physical or he may even be suffering from some neurological trauma." SL4: Well, that pretty much covers all the bases, doesn't it? That's like saying that the reason your pants ripped was becuase of a problem with either the material or the thread. Mallory: "It's obvious something is bothering him." TBH: It wouldn't happen to be your stale wit, would it? Mallory: "What if he wigs out in a crisis?" TBH: You've got a point. I'M ready to snap if you make one more joke so I KNOW he's sick of it! Maggie: "Did he wig out when he was hauling your butt through a Kromagg artillery barrage?" HTWD: Since I hate both of them I'm simultaneously elated that Mallory just took a good shot and disappointed that Maggie got off one. Maggie: "I know him. He'll be okay." SL4: Yeah, well you knew Quinn, Wade, and Colin too. How okay are they? Mallory: "Point taken. All I'm saying is that we're in a dangerous business here and each one of us has to be on the top of our game." TBH: He's been a Slider for ten minutes and he's trying to lecture Maggie on how dangerous Sliding is. That, friends, is the textbook definition of arrogance. Mallory: "If somebody flakes at a time when we need him most..." HTWD: So don't flake out on us then, Mallory. Any other moronic observations or can we stop standing right over Remmy while we talk about him? Maggie: "That won't happen. If it does, we do what we always do." SL4: Wander around aimlessly and wait for Quinn to pull our asses out of the fire in the nick of time. Maggie: "We cover each other and pull him through. Right now, let him sleep." TBH: <mimicking a sleepy Remmy> : Yeah, you rude bastards. Get the >:-# out of the bedroom with your loud selves. <Scene change to Remmy's dream. Remmy is sitting in a prison cell.> HTWD: The Continuity Police finally caught up with him. Wait'll they catch Peckinballs! Wade: "Rembrandt! Rembrandt! Why won't you talk to me?" TBH: Because the whole head bobbing in the water thing has him grossed out. I don't blame him, I'm about to blow chunks myself. Wade: "It's really me! It's Wade!" HTWD: Well duh. How many OTHER female Sliders have they lost? <the door from the hallway opens> Tigs: Hey PIE boy! It's your turn! SL4: Oh, hey Tigs. Come in, take my spot while I write my part. Tigs: Is that the way things are usually done? SL4: Yep. Tigs: Is that what everyone else does? SL4: Yep. Tigs: So if I sat down, I would be doing things the way everyone else does them? SL4: I guess. Tigs: Oh, well screw that then! <She leaves and the door to the hallway swings closed.> SL4: <glancing at the other two and shrugging> : Rebels. Couldn't have progress without them. TBH: Nude musical, eh? Knock 'em dead! :-P SL4: I'll send someone back to take my place. <SL4 disappears into the hallway> Wade: "They're coming for me. We haven't got much time! Please say something!" TBH: <mimicking Wade>: Come ON, Remmy! I need your help! I need my water changed! <Wade's point of view changes as two Kromaggs apparently grab her and start taking her away.> Wade: "Remmy, please!" HTWD: Remmy! Please sing "Please Please Me!" Please? TBH: Apparently he's ignoring her pleas. <Wade is dragged away as her hands reach out, clawing at the air.> TBH: This is why Sabrina's body was never in this ep. She was dragged from the set after she read the script and then threw herself at Peckinballs in a fit of rage. <From Remmy's point of view we see Wade being dragged away by Kromaggs as her cell door slams shut.> Wade: "Rembrandt!!!!" HTWD: Ahhhhh. As tedious as this scene is, it's still better than Mallory cracking wise. <Remmy sits up in his bed at the hotel, drenched in sweat.> Remmy: "Wade!" dellyone: Oh, NOW you call out to her after you wake up! What was with the silent routine before? <TBH and HTWD turn towards the open door.> TBH: Hey. How's it going? D1: SL4 sent me here to do a few rounds of riffing while he writes his Story Game part. HTWD: Have a seat. Projectionist! Roll 'em! <The other three Sliders join Remmy around his bed.> Maggie: "It's okay Remmy, we're here." TBH: That's supposed to be comforting? Talk about waking from a nightmare to rejoin another nightmare. Mallory: "You were having another nightmare." HTWD: No >:-#!!! I don't think he needs you to tell him that, genius. Maggie: "You were dreaming about Wade, weren't you?" D1: She should start a psychic hotline! How did she ever guess that? Maybe she followed a clever set of clues starting with HIM SITTING UP IN BED AND SCREAMING OUT WADE'S NAME!!! Remmy: "Yeah, you might say that. But I don't think it was a dream." TBH: She's never been clothed in one of my dreams about her, so it couldn't have been a dream. Diana: "You never left us Remmy, you were here the entire time." HTWD: We were hovering over you, loudly debating your sanity, the entire time you slept! You couldn't have gone anywhere. Remmy: "Yeah, okay, I'll buy that. I never left this place." D1: But that depends on what the meaning of the word "this" is! MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!! <The others seem relieved that Remmy is sounding more sane.> Remmy: "But I think that Wade is trying to contact me." Are you sure this is Wade we're talking about? It sounds like the kind of stalking Sean Young would do. <TBH, Dellyone, and HTWD turn towards the direction of the new voice> : YOOOOOOOUUUUU!!!!!! Yes, it is I. May I join you?
