Star Trek: Generations

Star Trek: Generations Screenplay by Rick Berman, Ronald D. Moore, Brannon Braga FINAL DRAFT March 16, 1994 FADE IN: 1EXT. SPACE (VFX-I)1 A vast and sparkling starfield. A pinpoint of LIGHT appears and starts moving toward the camera... a small and distant cylindrical object tumbling end over end, but we can't determine exactly what it is yet... 2EXT. WHEATFIELD - DAY2 A vast and undulating sea of wheat. We become aware that there are two HEADS sticking out of the stalks of wheat: two men are standing and looking up at the sky. As we move towards them,we begin to hear their conversation...and we can see that the two men are SCOTTY and CHEKOV, dressed in civilian clothing. CHEKOV (points to sky) There he is -- there, to the South! SCOTTY (peers upward) What are ye, blind? That's a bird. As they stare up at the sky... 3EXT. SPACE (VFX-I)3 The cylinder tumbling through space is now closer, and we can now see that it is a BOTTLE of some sort, and it is tumbling directly toward the camera... 4EXT. WHEATFIELD- DAY4 As before, Chekov and Scotty staring at the sky. SCOTTY (concerned) Repelling the Crystalline Trench... rafting down lava flows... orbital skydiving. it's like the man is running a bloody decathlon across the galaxy. Suddenly we hear a double SONIC BOOM. CHEKOV (re: sound) That should be him now. I think he's just crossed the sound barrier. They shield their eyes against the sun and look up. 5EXT. SPACE (VFX-I)5 The bottle gets CLOSER... 6EXT.
