DR. AUGUSTINE
Welcome to Pandora, and meet your new avatars. Treat them well.
JAKE
This is amazing. And… DOB, am I outta line here or do you suddenly get the feeling you can fuck anything?
DOB
“Suddenly”?
DR. AUGUSTINE
Alright you two, let’s focus. You don’t have too much time to get used to your Avatars. We leave tomorrow.
DOB
Huh. Sort of feels like the kind of thing I should receive training for, but, sure, OK.

JAKE
This feels so incredible, I feel alive.
DOB
Hey, what’s this ponytail thing? It’s… [Rubs ponytail thing repeatedly]S… it’s awesome.
DR. AUGUSTINE
Don’t play with that or you’ll go blind.
DOB
Worth it.
JAKE
Can do, Dr. Augustine.
DOB
Hold up, so are you saying these things are, like, our junk? Just… hanging out from the backs of our heads?
DR. AUGUSTINE
We’re heading out early tomorrow, so make sure you get your rest.
DOB
Hey, I got a good one.
JAKE
Excuse me, but what are we doing when we get down there?
DOB
Hey guys.
DR. AUGUSTINE
“We”? As far as I’m concerned, we shouldn’t be going down there at all.
DOB
You guys.
DR. AUGUSTINE
This is a science matter, we don’t need any trigger-happy marines running around destroying the delicate ecosystem.
DOB
Ponytalia. That’s what we can call it. Anyone come up with that yet?
JAKE
I don’t want to be out there any more than you want me out there, Augustine, I’m only doing this because of my dead brother.
DOB
Because it’s a dick.
DR. AUGUSTINE
Yeah, I lose one brilliant scientist and I get a couple of idiot marines, that’s a fair trade.
JAKE
Actually, I’m the only Marine… I have no idea who that other guy is.
DOB
I also considered “Peenytail.”

Day 2 (later): Meeting Colonel Quaritch
DOB and JAKE meet up with COLONEL QUARITCH, who has a series of terrifying giant face scars for no reason.

COLONEL QUARITCH
Jake, you’re an accomplished marine. And you… other guy, you can listen too, this concerns both of you.
JAKE
Yes, sir.
COLONEL QUARITCH
I want to make sure you’re both on my side. You need to know what you’re up against down there.
JAKE
Absolutely.
COLONEL QUARITCH
See these three giant scars on my face?
DOB
How could I possibly miss them?
COLONEL QUARITCH
They’re a constant reminder of just what those beasts down there are capable of. Remember that. Doctors say I could easily have the scars removed with a quick surgery, but I kind of like ‘em.
Jake
Sure.
DOB
What?
COLONEL QUARITCH
This way, I’ll never forget what they can do when they feel threatened.
DOB
That can’t be the best way to remember that.
COLONEL QUARITCH
Yep. Just a couple of giant, unsettling, clearly-infected face scars to remind me that I fucking hate aliens.[/center:bl4vznqs]
