People ask, where do you get your ideas?

Right here.

Oh, this is my magician's toy shop.

I'm Ray Bradbury, and this is...

Mars Irrigation Board.

Please leave a message after the tone.

Yes, water grip here. What the hell's happened to you guys?

It's been two weeks now.

Radio equipment's still out.

Relief hasn't shown. I should be on duty. I'm coming into town to have

somebody's gut.

All the rockets?

Gone?

You couldn't leave me one damn rocket!

They just up and flew?

I need a drink.

Yep. Nobody waited for me.

Not even my girl.

You don't say.

Uh -huh.

It's pretty, huh?

Clara.

Clara Heathcliff.

Prettiest girl in Marlin Village.

Yes, sir. She's damp.

Prettiest girl on Mars.

And I'm all alone.

Alone on Mars.

It's mayonnaise.

And mustard.

All right. Coming right up.

One, please.

No use.

These people aren't real.

They're not real.

Ringing. Why doesn't somebody answer it?

Hello? Clara?

Why, but I think it was Clara.

Still, there has to be somebody, right?

So she'll dial other houses in town.

She? There has to be a she.

Woman would call and call somewhere on Mars.

Somewhere. Shut up!

Listen.

Yes. Hello, Ann. This is Helen. Helen, yes.

Look, no answer from you today.

Please, tell me what ship you're going on. If you're still here, call me, okay?

Bye. God help us all.

God help us all.

No. This is Walter Britt. Space agency emergency calling.

Last call.

The final spacecraft departs for Earth at 1500 hours.

Last call.

1500 hours.

A little late, don't you think? This is a recording. Repeated every hour.

I know.

I know.

Okay. Let's have it. Ring again. No tapes.

No messages.

Someone real. There's got to be somebody else like me.

Flesh and blood. Maybe not Clara he slipped, but real.

Now, damn it!

Ring!

Stop!

Now, what do I do?

I don't know where you are.

Start with the A.

Thank you for calling. And have a night.

Come on.

Think. Think.

Where would Clara go?

Where would she be?

If this is the recording, I'll come there and tear the place down.

Hello? Hello?

This is no recording. I'm alive.

I mean, I'm here.

Here. Who are you?

Where are you?

You're real.

No, I die.

What's your name?

Genevieve Seltzer.

Genevieve.

Genevieve.

I'm Walter.

Walter Grip.

Oh, Walter.

What a nice name.

Genevieve sounds fine.

Where are you, Walter?

Marlin Village, near the Great Red Canyon.

Angelito.

No, no, no. You stay there. I'm on my way.

Cover prospects only 900 miles.

Don't leave.

I wouldn't dream of it, Walter.

Walter. Yes?

Only two people, maybe, left on Mars, and we did it.

Genevieve?

Sure.

500 miles away, you still there?

Yes, yes, I'm here.

Who else?

Only 50 miles.

Oh, madness.

Oh, Genevieve, sweet Genevieve.

Come on, you Martian mystery beauty salon, red desert diner. No, copper coin

laundry bank of Mars Open Spaces Real Estate.

Aha! Martian mystery beauty salon.

Genevieve?

Walter?

Give me a hand.

Do we shake hands or do you give me a teeny weeny peck on the cheek?

My,

you are the shy one.

Are you really Walter Griff?

Griff.

Are you really Genevieve Seltzer?

In the flesh, Walter.

In the flesh.

I see.

Now what?

I was thinking, any good movies playing?

Movies? Yeah.

Is it a Gary Cooper movie? You ever seen him?

Dead long time. Swell, though.

I want to think about it. You look a lot like him.

Thanks.

Robert Redford movie?

It's very romantic. I love romance.

That's why I love this salon.

The mystery of romance.

That's what it says, doesn't it, Walter?

Mama always said, keep the mystery.

At least, keep them waiting until they can find it.

The hell with movies, Walter. I want to show you something.

Look.

I think this is just for us.

Just us?

Go inside. I have another surprise.

Walter?

Genevieve? Close your eyes.

Closed?

Closed. Promise.

You can open them now.

Like it?

Old -fashioned.

That's me.

Mama always said, get your white down first, then get your man.

You can pour me a glass of wine, Walter.

To what?

You were thirsty.

Genevieve, I... How old are you?

Oh, Mama always said bright girls never tell.

Yes.

Would you believe 32?

We've a lot to find out about each other, Walter.

All right.

I'll go first.

Why am I the last human being on Mars?

Except for you.

My silly parents decided to go back to Earth.

Go on, I said.

What's there for me to go back to?

I've got Mars.

I've got the whole planet to myself.

Why not?

What did Earth ever do for me?

And men.

I should tell you this, Walter.

Every time I thought I met Mr. Right, he'd vanish.

I thought I'd had it with men.

But here I am.

Here you are.

Here we are.

You know, Walter, I think you should try drinking a milkshake when you're

thirsty.

Mama always said, give me the night, give me the man, and I'll do the rest.

Walter, stand here. Hold this.

Martian seductress.

Oh, it's my favorite. What do you think?

You haven't finished your milkshake, Genevieve.

Sweetest little baby booties you ever saw. I love kids, Walter. Do you love

kids? Kids are fine.

It's getting late.

Late?

I think I should let you go to bed.

Gosh, you move fast.

No, no.

Genevieve. Yes?

You're a very nice girl.

Nice enough, Walter. Oh, really?

Sweet?

And lovely... Boy.

Genevieve. Yes?

There's something I want to say to you.

It's... Yes?

Yes? Yes?

Goodbye.
