Land of the Lost2009

[Inside Dr. Marshall's office, there is knocking at the door]

Dr. Rick Marshall:
[groans]

Holly Cantrell:
Dr. Marshall? [Opens the door and sees Marshall lying on the floor surrounded by wrappers of junk food] Oh God! Are you alright? [Helps him up from the ground and lays him against a cabinet] Hey, up you get. Here, just lean against... [Struggling the keep him up, he spits out a piece of food from his mouth] Oh dear.

Dr. Rick Marshall:
I'm fine. I'm okay, I just... worked late. Then, I got hungry and I... had several meals and lapsed into a food coma. I've had issues with food in the past. I don't know, you know, just with the stress with everything I just over did it... but I'm in control. Now, I don't have to go back to Phoenix.

Holly Cantrell:
I just wanted, I wanted to um, come apologize for yesterday Michael. My behavior was just... [she stares in shock as finds Marshall's completely built Tachyon Amplifier]

Dr. Rick Marshall:
No, no, no.

Holly Cantrell:
You've finished the Tachyon Amplifier!

Dr. Rick Marshall:
No, no, I mean yes. I, I don't know, I finished building it, yes, but... I didn't have the nerve to test it out. So, I thought a trip to Arby's might give me some courage, but no dice. [Sticks an old fry in his mouth] Then, I hit Popeye's, Del Taco. 14,000 calories later, I found myself down at Subway... powering through a 12 inch veggie on whole wheat babbling to a cut-out of Jared. Still didn't give me the strength to turn that thing on. I'm a coward.

Holly Cantrell:
You are not a coward, you're a visionary. This is probably the greatest work of genius in the last hundred years. [Turns on the amplifier to the music of A Chorus Line singing I Hope I Get It; Turns it off] Is that A Chorus Line?

Dr. Rick Marshall:
It, it's left over data from the drive. What a piece of crap! [Slams foot against desk shaking the amplifier on for a second] The machine, I mean, not A Chorus Line. I love showtunes, they really tell the story of the human condition.

Holly Cantrell:
It's a bit gay.

Dr. Rick Marshall:
It IS great.
