LOST CONVERSATIONS XIV
1. WHERE WE FIND OUT WHAT KAYLEE, SIMON, AND RIVER WERE DOING DURING THE PARTY IN “Our Mrs. Reynolds”
INT. SERENITY, DINING ROOM - NIGHT
Simon and River sit at the table playing a futuristic version of “Go Fish”, with the cards having symbols like stars, moons, spaceships, etc.
SIMON
Do you have any stars?
RIVER
No stars.
Simon picks a card from the deck on the table, looks at it, no match, so adds it to his hand.
RIVER (CONT’D)
Do you have any moons?
SIMON
Yes, two moons.
He hands them over to her and she places them plus one from her hand down on the table.
SIMON (CONT’D)
Do you have any spaceships?
RIVER
No, sorry.
He grins at her and then picks from the deck, smiles and then triumphantly lays down two stars on the table.
SIMON
Ah, two stars.
RIVER
Good. Do you have any planets?
Simon looks at her for a long beat.
SIMON
Are you reading my mind?
RIVER
(grinning)
I’m just lucky. So, any planets?
He hands over a planet and she puts down three. All her cards are gone.
SIMON
You win.(beat) Again.
Kaylee enters from the Fore Hall.
KAYLEE
Hey, can I join the game?
SIMON
Sure. I was just losing. Again.
He picks up the cards and starts to shuffle as Kaylee sits opposite him, with River at the end between them. Kaylee looks at River.
KAYLEE
(gentle)
How you doing, River?
RIVER
I can hear the music. They’re dancing.
KAYLEE
(glum)
Yeah, guess the others are having all the fun.
SIMON
(flat)
Yes, all our fun takes place on Serenity.
KAYLEE
Sorry guys. Capt’n afraid someone know who you are. And after what happened on Jiangyin...
SIMON
No, he’s right. We need to be more careful around strangers. (beat) How come you don’t go to the party Kaylee? We’ll be OK.
RIVER
Someone’s got to look after the boat.
Kaylee turns to her in amazement.
KAYLEE
That’s just what I was gonna say!
Simon gives River an odd look.
RIVER
What? That’s what she’s doing, right?
KAYLEE
Right.
SIMON
Right. (beat) Ah, so, Kaylee, now that we’ve got you alone, maybe you ca
And the one for Heart Of Gold was great! I think it would be cool to see one after the battle, when they're on Serenity and have to let the bad guys that Wash and Kaylee locked up out:D I don't know if you've already done that, but it's just an idea(((:
MAL
Don’t worry, Doc. She’ll be in the engine room on Serenity, far from the flying bullets.
^^^^ I like the irony here, it made me giggleXD
