Man-In-Sea

Scene 7

CLAY

Dad? You down here? Mom says you’ve been working all night.

ED

Cousteau was here yesterday afternoon.

CLAY

Man-In-Sea not going well?

ED

That man is more concerned with having a camera in his face than real science. He would like me to proceed without him.

CLAY

He quit?

ED

I’ll have the lockout chamber finished by the end of the week.

CLAY

Well come on, tell me about it over breakfast.

ED

I can’t leave right now.

CLAY

We can wait a few minutes. Mom bake any muffins this morning?

ED

I can’t take the day off if this sub goes in the water by Friday.

CLAY

But I’m leaving for Germany this weekend!

ED

I know. I’m sorry, Clay, but I need to get this done. Take your mother, she’s been dying to get off the ship. I’m sorry, Clay. This is important.
