(man) The universe.
So full of wonders.
I can spend hours and hours
looking up at the sky.
So many stars,
so many mysteries.
And there's one very special star
that makes me think of one very special person.
Let me tell you my story.
At the dawn of time,
from the chaos came an exception.
One of the most mysterious secrets of the universe.
You see, I come from that very mysterious and unique place.
We are the only known solar system
with double gravity.
Two twin planets whirling together around one sun,
but each with its own and opposite gravity.
Now, in our world,
it's possible to fall up
and to rise down.
But my story, it's about love.
Some people say that true lovers
are one souI that is separated when it's born,
and those two halves will always yearn to find their way back together.
Well, to understand my story,
you're going to need to know the three basic laws of double gravity.
All matter, every single object
is pulled by the gravity of the world
that it comes from, and not the other.
An object's weight can be offset
using matter from the opposite world.
Inverse matter.
But the problem is, after a few hours of contact,
matter in contact with inverse matter burns.
These laws are as old as the universe itself.
They are unchangeable, and there are no exceptions.
Gravity.
They say you can't fight it.
Well, I disagree.
What if love was stronger than gravity?
Let's go back to the dark times
when any contact between worlds
was extremely dangerous and totally forbidden.
Up Top had grown rich and prosperous,
while here, Down Below,
we stole inverse matter from Up Top
to heat our homes and to survive,
risking everything,
even our own lives.
I think he's there.
Hey! Come here.
The only authorized contact between worlds
was through Transworld,
a giant corporation Up Top,
created to take cheap oil from Down Below,
and to sell back to us overpriced electricity
that we couldn't afford.
Because of Transworld,
I grew up in an orphanage.
You see, my parents died in the Big Blast,
a Transworld oiI refinery explosion
that destroyed much of the city.
Fortunately, there were the weekends.
They let me visit my great aunt Becky,
my only surviving relative.
As well as Becky,
there were two things that I truly loved:
model airplanes
and Becky's flying pancakes.
You're going to have to get me some more pink pollen tomorrow. okay. sweetie?
Becky also initiated me into an ancient knowledge
passed down over the generations through the women of our family.
Now catch.
The secret of the pink bees.
Becky, how do they do that?
[laughing]
It's all in this book.
It was passed down to my mother from hers
and. of course. I would have given it to your mother.
One day. when you grow up. it'll be yours.
Becky would often send me to gather pink pollen
from the Sage Mountains.
This was the only place, and a forbidden place,
where pink bees could be found.
Bees that fed off flowers from both worlds,
and without whom this story could never have happened.
But I had a little secret of my own.
I used to go chase inverse rain from Up Top.
[thundering]
One day, I went much further than usuaI,
climbing higher and higher above the cloud line.
[thundering]
And that day,
well, that day
changed my life
forever.
[thundering]
Hey!
Hi.
[wind blowing]
Hey!
Hey. where have you been? I've been waiting ages for you.
Our neighbors got robbed. They're saying it was a thief from Down Below.
There's hunters with guns. and border patroI trucks.
Are you serious?
Don't make that face.
I made it here. right?
Well. look. as long as you're okay.
Hey, look, I'll throw it up.
All right. ready?
All right. Adam.
Are you tied on?
I'm good. Yeah?
Okay, I'm pulling now.
Don't drop me.
[wind blowing]
You know. these ones from Up Top are so good.
They're the best. No, they are. They're amazing.
Wait. I got something for you. too.
And this is from both worlds. What is it?
I can't tell you. You got to close your eyes.
Close your eyes. Come on.
Like, closed, closed. They're closed.
All right.
Are they closed? Mm-hm.
Okay. Okay. open your mouth.
[laughs] I can't reach.
Mm.
How is that from both worlds?
I don't know. you should probably ask the bees.
[laughing] I don't know.
Imagine if we could go anywhere we wanted to.
[sighs]
I mean, really.
Can you imagine that?
Hey. you know what?
What? Well. we can.
Come on. let's imagine we can.
Let's go down.
(Adam) You're holding on?
I'm ready! Three. two. one. go.
Ah! Whoo!
Whoo!
Whoo-hoo!
I got- I got down.
Whoo!
Oh. you're holding on?
Yeah. Oh. my God!
Pull my legs down.
I got it. I got it.
Okay. spin!
Okay, just spin! Just spin!
Look at the branch. Come on. go. go.
Shall we go again? Uh-huh.
It's the biggest one ever. All right. I'm ready.
Hold on? Yeah.
[laughing and shouting]
Coming down.
All right. You good? Uh-huh.
Okay, you want to do another spin?
Yeah. let's get really high. Let's see if we can get higher this time.
[gunshot]
Did you hear that?
Yeah.
[gunshot]
You know. we should go.
[dogs barking]
He's there.
Let's get him.
[gunshot]
Quick, Adam!
Ah.
[gunshot]
Ah! Adam!
Eden! Eden!
No! No!
(Adam) No! No, please! Please, no!
Come on.
Becky! Becky! Becky. I'm sorry!
I'm so sorry. No! Adam! No!
No! Adam!
Becky! Adam!
No! No! No!
Becky! Adam. you did nothing wrong!
Nothing!
Becky!
No! Becky!
Please. no! No!
Becky!
[clap of thunder]
(kids) Adam. come on. stop! Make us a plane!
Make us a plane.
Come on. I can't. Make us a plane.
I've got to go to work. Come on.
I've got to go to work. I'll do it later.
[thundering]
Hey. Mr Jones.
(presenter) Transworld.
Only one week left to submit your application.
You've got to play to win.
Hello, Albert.
Mrs. Nathanson.
What do you got for me?
Inverse matter to pay my debt.
Will this cover it? Mm.
My husband says it's stainless steeI
from the main pipeline.
(Adam) Pablo, it's ready!
Okay. don't start it untiI it's fully applied.
Okay.
[whispering] Okay. now we go.
(Mrs. Nathanson) Wow. That stuff is amazing.
Is it for sale?
(Albert) Well, not quite yet.
Nah.
We're all settled.
Thank you. And can you keep me posted on that beauty cream?
Will do.
You take care now.
Did you hear that. Adam?
We have got to finish this cream.
Well. I would love to. Albert. you know.
but... with this equipment. you know. it could take years.
A chance to fulfill everyone's dream
and transform his life working for Transworld.
We're live Down Below
with our nine finalists feverishly awaiting the results.
I'd like to welcome Miss Eden Moore
from Transpublicity, a division of Transworld.
Hi. How are you?
Hi. Welcome.
Thank you.
Now. she'll tell us more about what she does.
but more importantly, let's hear about our winner's new job.
Well, our division handles all of Transworld's graphic design needs.
Right now I'm working with origami specifically-
That sounds fascinating.
but our audience is dying to know
just what job will our winner be getting.
Well. today we're offering the winner a job in our department.
Here we go. Let's choose our lucky winner.
I can't believe it. What?
That's her.
Number two. Pablo, that's Eden.
Are you sure? I'm totally sure.
She's alive. I can't believe it.
I can find her, man. She works at Transworld.
[tango music]

Please remove jackets and empty your pockets
of personal belongings for weigh-in.
Put your jacket in the bin as well.
Stay in line.
Prepare jackets and personal objects for weigh-in.
Please remove jackets-
165 pounds.
Don't move.
New? Yeah.
What floor? Floor Zero.
Name? Adam Kirk.
Thanks.
[no audible dialog]
(man) Need some help?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm looking for a Station 15. Sector 8.
Third aisle down.
Thank you.
[muffled dialog] I told you.
Do not ever do that again. You understand me?
Hey.
(man) Welcome aboard, newbie.
(woman) Cheers. Cheers.
Goddammit. God.
I'm so. so sorry.
Like. I had no idea it was going to do that.
Don't worry, my friend, they do that to all the newbies.
Oh. great. Good start.
Name's Bob. Bob Boruchowitz.
And you are?
I'm Adam. Adam Kirk.
Mr. Kirk?
Please follow me. The Managing Director is waiting to see you.
Right. sure. okay.
Psst. hey. hey. Your back.
check it out.
Oh. right. that's-
That's pretty funny.
Ho. ho. Mr. Kirk.
We don't have much time.
Come see me on your way out
with a list of materials you'll require for your work.
I need you to complete your security clearance form.
I'll also give you your various access badges and meaI vouchers.
[knocking on door]
Come in, Mr. Kirk.
Come in, come in.
This anti-aging cream idea of yours seems to be quite promising.
Your application has been approved,
but this is strictly on a triaI basis, you understand.
Well. of course.
Have a seat. please.
Thanks.
Fasten your seat belt, Mr. Kirk.
I'm-I'm sorry?
Your seatbelt?
Seatbelt. Oh. right.
[buzzer]
Are there any questions, Mr. Kirk?
Yeah. I was just wondering what all these people on my side do?
Mm. they're merely adapters.
They adapt our products to your world.
You. on the other hand. have a reaI opportunity here.
Company policy doesn't normally allow for someone from Down Below
to hold such an important position.
but we're making an exception in your case.
Sign here. please.
[buzzer]
Now then. a word of warning.
We scrupulously observe a full separation between worlds here.
That means there is to be no unnecessary contact with those Up Top.
Just stick to your job and all will be well.
One last thing.
The rules are quite strict here.
As you know. you'll be working with upper world materials.
This means that you'll be thoroughly searched and weighed every time
that you leave the premises.
If they find any inverse matter on you.
you'll be fired and jailed on the spot.
But I have a feeling that this won't happen in your case.
Will it. Mr. Kirk?
No. sir.
Try not to prove me wrong.
Right then. dismissed.
(anchorman) Another massive oil leak has developed,
following a metal robbery from the main pipeline,
forcing Transworld to double their security.
The three thieves from Down Below arrested last week
were hanged this morning at dawn, raising interworld tensions.
Here is a senior Transworld executive with a statement.
(executive) They got what they deserved.
We don't go down to their world.
We certainly don't want them coming up to ours.
Nice boss you got there.
And that's tonight's news on TTW7.
Thank you for watching us.
Adam, you did not have to do this.
I could've gotten you that patent. Transworld.
Transworld is the worst thing that ever happened to us.
And what. now you're one of them?
Come on. Albert. Those people are vultures.
And you're going to give them your golden goose for peanuts?
I mean. we have nothing.
Yeah. we're from Down Below. I mean. that's just the way it is.
I mean. we have nothing.
Don't you tell me I'm nothing!
This isn't nothing? This is everything.
And I gave you everything.
I treated you like you were my own son.
And you know what you're going to do?
You're going to go up there and you're going to get yourself killed.
That's all you're going to do. is get yourself killed.
Shit.
What?
Albert. Albert. come on.
Look. I didn't mean it like that.
Albert, please, come on.
All right.
Don't you dare think that I've forgotten that Transworld took away my entire family.
All right?
Look.
if I could use Transworld
and Aunt Becky's pink powder just to.
I don't know. just give my life some kind of hope.
then I'm going to do it.
Come on Albert, please.
Come on. I need your help. Albert. please.
Come on.
All right. all right.
Okay. today we have someone joining us for the first time.
Hello. Eden. Hi.
(all) Hi.
Hi. I'm Eden. Eden Moore.
Um. I had an accident when I was a teenager.
Uh. everything before that is gone.
Sometimes things come back to me in dreams.
but I'm never sure if they're reaI
or if I'm making them up.
It's frustrating.
You know. I know that whatever's missing.
it's in there.
Ah. but it scares me.
Um.
mostly it just feels like something's missing.
Mr. Kirk? Yes.
Here is the key to your personaI refrigeration system.
And here's your very first allocation
of inverse matter. Okay. great.
Be carefuI. Without cooling. it gets hot very fast.
Thank you.
Hey. Not exactly a charmer. is he?
[buzzer] Oh.
One o'clock. Lunch time.
I usually go to the smoking room after I've eaten.
Why don't you drop by?
We'll have a little conversation.
Okay. sure.
[knocking on door]
Oh. hey. Bob? Mm?
You mind if I come in? Mm.
Come in. come in. Sit down. Hey.
You want a cigar? You smoke?
No. no. no. No. thanks. I don't smoke.
Okay. fine. sit down.
See?
Empty.
"No one smokes in Transworld any more. "
Yeah. well I do. so "pbblt".
[laughing]
You know. people have a funny way of seeing things here.
Anything or anyone different is.
well. let's say. frowned upon.
Can I ask you a favor?
Yeah. Yeah, sure.
Could you get me some stamps?
Some stamps?
Yeah. stamps.
I. uh. I don't like to boast.
but I've got one of the largest known stamp collections Up Top.
And if you can get me some from your side.
oh. boy.
Right. yeah.
I mean. sure. I guess.
Great. Great.
So. you were saying. anti-gravity?
Yeah. you know. I've been working on this. uh-
It's an anti-aging cream. Mm-hm.
Well. I'm here if you need me.
Expert in conductivity and computer programming.
Anything you need. anything. just ask.
Well then. uh.
I guess there could be something you could help me with.
I was wondering if you might be able to get me in touch
with an employee... Up Top?
Up Top?
Yeah.
Her name's. uh.
Eden Moore.
Sure.
So. what's your plan?
I don't know. yet.
I'm working on that.
I mean. but you've seen her though. right?
No. I mean. I haven't actually seen her but-
But she's there. Pablo.
I mean. she's just like a few floors above.
Are you sure this is worth it?
I mean. it's been. like. ten years since you last saw her.
Yeah. it's worth it.
It's amazing. Oh. man. the man with no head.
I can't believe it.
(man) Move, please.
So. what kind of shirt do you want?
Do you want. like. a sport shirt. a T-shirt? No.
You want a button-down collar?
Yeah. a normaI button-down shirt.
You want a jacket? Yeah. I don't know. a suit jacket.
Stay in line.
You may proceed. Mr. Kirk.
Thank you.
(scientist) Now, this should be happening any moment now.
If you watch carefully.
Here it comes.
How long does the effect last?
Well. right now. really only. like. a few minutes.
But we've been working on - Clearly not long enough.
Soon we'll begin clinicaI trials on human subjects.
Obviously. we'll start with a sample of women from Down Below.
I need quick results. I'm counting on you.
Oh. Is that beauty cream for Halloween?
No. they've got different standards of beauty Down Below.
The uglier the better.
[laughing]
Hey. Don't let those guys get to you.
They're just jealous. that's all.
You. uh. you're staying late?
Yeah. you know. I thought I'd stay
and just finish up a few things. you know.
Right. Well, I'll take her back to the kennel for you.
Come on. girI.
Hey. you-you realize they don't pay overtime. right?
Yeah. I know.
Okay. right. See you tomorrow.
Don't work too hard.
I won't.
[telephone ringing]
Hello?
Yes. it is.
No. I'm sorry. she's gone home for the night.
Yeah. you can come by tomorrow.
Okay. what's your name again?
Bo-ru-chowitz.
Thank you.
Okay. See you tomorrow.
(Albert) Believe me, Adam, it's going to burn.
In a pinch. just use a little water to cooI down.
Please. remember you won't last an hour with these counterweights on.
Yeah. yeah. yeah. I know. I know. I know.
What. Pablo. what?
What is it?
All right. what's your plan?
Huh? You dress up in disguise.
you show up to meet her. and then what?
Then what? I don't know.
You don't know. No. I don't know.
All right. let me get this straight. okay?
She sees you. all right?
She throws herself in your arms. says she loves you.
and she never forgot about you. Yeah. maybe.
Okay. then. since you're starting to burn up.
you tell her you love her. too. but you really have to go.
and if you don't get caught or shot.
maybe you'll see her again in ten years.
Besides. what-
You really think she. uh. she just waited for you?
Yeah. I do. You do?
Yeah. actually. I do. Adam. we're from Down Below.
Okay. don't you get that?
Besides, you know what?
I bet she calls the cops the second she sees you.
Come on. all right? She's not going to call the cops.
Adam. you're so delusionaI.
Why-why are you so obsessed with those people anyway. huh?
You know, my brother was the same way.
Yeah, he went up there and-
He never came back.
You want to end up like him?
[whispers] God.
Hey. Eden. It's-it's Adam.
It's Adam.
Oh. God.
[door clanks]
(man) Who's there?
Possible breach.
Ah.
[ding]
Eden.
Eden, it's-it's me.
Oh. yes. Mr. Boruchowitz. right?
I'll be with you. One second.
Wait. Come on. Eden.
Hi. I'm Paula. We spoke on the phone yesterday.
I didn't realize you guys knew each other.
Yeah. yeah. yeah. we do.
I mean. I can't believe she would just ignore me like that.
No. No. she just forgets things.
What do you mean?
It's her amnesia.
Wait. She-she has amnesia?
Yes. since her accident.
Will you cut these, too? Yeah.
You wanted to see me?
Yeah. yeah. no. I did.
Look. Eden. I thought that we-
I thought that. uh.
that. uh. that this product that I've been working on.
I thought it might be of some interest to you.
professionally speaking.
Yeah. Oh. would you-
Can I-can I show you?
Yeah. sure. It's just a mock-up.
It takes a second to work. so.
Okay.
You know, I-
I've. uh. I've been working with this-this young man
who's just recently started here at Transworld.
But he had like a troubled childhood.
Yeah. he grew up in a. like. an orphanage.
Oh. that's terrible.
Yeah. you know. his Aunt Becky
was. like. his only reaI family.
Well. you should have brought him.
Yeah. Well. um.
the truth is that he couldn't come.
Oh. why not?
Well. 'cause...
he's from Down Below.
Sorry. sorry. I'm sorry.
I just don't know why you're telling me this.
Right. Anyway. I thought the product might be of some use.
That's amazing. Yeah.
It's perfectly straight. What is this stuff?
It's top secret actually.
I like secrets. Yeah?
Are you okay? Yeah. No. I'm good.
Are you sure? Yeah. Oh. yeah. yeah.
I'm pretty good. Wait. You're sweating.
Oh. really? God. Look at that. Do you want a TranslenoI?
No. not really. I'm-I'm good. I'm pretty good.
You know what? Can you just excuse me for. like. just one second?
Okay. I'll be back.
I'll be right back.
That was funny.
Ah. Ah.
[sighs]
[alarm goes off]
Hey! Hey. you!
He's not coming back.
Do you believe it? No. I don't.
But he is cute though.
I know. Mm-hm.
You know. I hate to say it. but I told you she wouldn't remember you.
Pablo. please.
She's got amnesia. After all that?
Boy. you sure know how to pick them.
You burned yourself pretty good there. too.
Put some more of that on tonight when you go to bed.
Okay.
(woman) Everything all right, Mr. Kirk?
Yes. Yeah. yeah. yeah. Everything's-everything's fine.
Just. you know. cleaning up a few things.
Here's the list of candidates for your clinicaI trials.
Oh. Oh. great.
Thank you.
I'll come by at the end of the day for your selections.
Psst. Hey. May I see?
Sure.
Ooh. Man.
Jeez, with models like that, your goose is cooked, man.
What are they trying to do, get you fired or what? I don't know. maybe.
[buzzer] Showtime.
What do you mean showtime? What's that?
Oh, you'll see, you know.
You just started here. You'll be out of the line of fire.
(man) Your attention, please.
Before we begin handing out the bonuses.
we have a list of individuals whose services
will no longer be required.
Albert Midwall.
Susan Gonzales. John Phelps.
Believe me. my friend. if your thing works out.
you've got nothing to worry about.
You'll be great. believe me. Jimmy Scotch.
Beatrice Amuchastegue.
Bob Boruchowitz.
Mistake. Alexis Vonarb.
That's a mistake. Aton Soumache.
Um. excuse me. I'm sorry.
Did you say Bob Boruchowitz?
Well. I think that's a mistake. yeah?
There is no mistake. Mr. Boruchowitz.
In light of your seniority.
you will be given a retirement package.
But your Transworld contract has been terminated.
[drops radio]
Jeff Duhaim.
Emiliano Grassi.
Dimitri Rassam.
Oscar Lopez.
Steven Craig.
Don't ever trust anyone here, Adam. They're all a bunch of snakes.
That's it? I mean. you just pack up your things and leave?
Thirty-one years.
They toss you out like a bag of garbage.
Yep. That's the Transworld way.
Now.
this is for your collection.
Some things in here may come in handy.
You're ready? Yeah.
Okay and-
I got it. I got it.
Hey. Bob.
I'm-I'm really sorry.
Don't worry about me. my friend.
It's their loss.
Right.
Take care of yourself. all right?
Right.
Come on. old girI. we're out of here. You're coming with me.
Knowing these jerks. you'd probably end up in a tin can.
Come on. girI. Come on.
Hey. Bob.
Thank you.
[recorded voice] Out of office. Leave your message.
Hi. Bob. It's Eden Moore calling you.
I was just wondering what happened the other day.
You just rushed out of here so quickly.
Eden, Eden. Hi, hi. Hey, it's Bob.
What happened to you?
Listen. I'm so. so sorry for disappearing on you like that.
You know what?
An alarm went off and the security had everything blocked.
so I was stuck there for hours. Uh-huh.
No. no. really. I mean. I've been desperate to call you.
I've been meaning to call you.
All right. well. I'll let you make it up to me.
Take me to lunch?
Oh. What?
Yeah. you can come up with a better story by then.
You-you want to go to the cafeteria?
No. I thought we could eat out.
Eat out?
[thump]
Yeah. You don't want to?
No. no. no. no. I'd love to.
Okay, great.
How about Cafe Dos Mundos. You know it?
Yes. of course.
Wow.
The Cafe Dos Mundos.
[muffled voice over P.A.]
Is that a problem?
No. no. No problem at all.
Okay. great. I'll see you tomorrow at noon.
Okay, great. All right. See you then.
Bye. Bye.
(Albert) You know. I got to admit
I've always wondered what it would be like.
(Adam) Yeah. well. maybe now you'll know.
All right. Pablo. if I could get you one thing.
one thing from Up Top. what would it be?
One thing? Yeah.
A girI. A girI?
I don't now. bring me back all the menus from the restaurant.
Yeah. okay. I can do that.
What about you. Albert?
Yeah. I want you back.
Okay. I'll try to make sure that happens.
Okay.
(woman) Welcome to Transworld.
Today, it's 21 degrees,
a beautiful and sunny day in Transcity.
Transworld wishes you a very lovely day.
TransoiI. Energy for a better life.
We're building your future.
Hi. Eden, hey.
Hi, Bob. Hey. how are you?
Good.
I'm so sorry I'm late.
Don't worry about it. I just got here. You did? Oh. good.
So. how come I've never seen you around Transworld before?
Well. I mean. it's a-it's a pretty big company.
I don't know. maybe that's why. That's true.
Do you live nearby?
Me? No. no. God. no.
Uh. I-I have a really long commute.
You know. I'm sorry. like-
You really. you really don't remember me?
I mean. you know. if you look at me.
I mean. like. really. really look at me.
You don't remember me at all?
No?
Come on. Eden.
Eden. we know each other.
What are you doing? No. like. we really know each other.
Why are you doing this to me?
What? No. Eden.
Eden. please.
Eden. wait. Wait. wait. wait. wait. wait. wait.
Come on. Sorry. Please. Please. don't leave.
Look. it was just a misunderstanding.
I just meant that we met before.
You know. it was at the elevator at work?
You dropped your papers and I helped you pick them up.
You don't remember that? No. I don't.
Yeah. why-why would you. I guess.
Look. I'm sorry.
I'm kind of just a little nervous. that's all.
You know. I didn't mean to come at you like that.
I'm really sorry.
Look. can you forgive me?
I should get back to work. I think.
Can we just stay for one drink?
You can't stay for one drink?
We don't even have to eat.
You know. I'm not even hungry.
Unless of course you're hungry. in which case I'm-I'm starving.
Yeah. I mean. I'll eat the whole menu twice
if-if you just sit down and have lunch with me.
I'm starving. actually. Yeah? Good.
You want to sit down?
This is an Upside Down? I have to teach you how to drink this now.
I don't even know how- How do you- So-
What am I supposed to do?
You have to put it to your lips like this.
Okay.
And just tilt it down.
What? That's it.
[laughing]
How could you not know? For a year. For a year.
Exactly. Let's do it again.
Okay.
These are good. Yeah.
They are good. You got to take it easy though.
All right. They're strong.
Hey. you know. I want to show you something. Sure.
It's a personaI project of mine.
but I want to do it on a much larger scale.
but I thought your invention could come in handy.
Wow. Wow, that's, that's amazing, really.
Yeah? Yeah. it's amazing.
I mean. I'd love to help. Yeah.
That's the-the Sage Mountains. right?
Yeah.
I. um. I grew up there.
We still have our old house there.
Yeah. no. God. We used to go there all the time. you know.
We used to go and pick the pomegranates.
Yeah. me. too. There you go.
They're the best. They're the best.
Are you okay?
Huh? Yeah. no. I'm good.
I'm fine. No. really. All right.
It's getting a little warm in here. don't you think?
Let's get out of here.
You want to go? Yeah.
Yeah. sure. we'll get the check.
Yeah. Okay.
So. there's this great orchestra from Down Below.
Uh. they play here Friday nights.
They're incredible. You have to hear it.
Wow. that. that sounds great.
Okay. so I'll see you Friday. maybe?
Yeah. sure. Okay. Okay.
Bye. Bye.
Thanks for lunch. All right. Take care.
Thanks.
(Adam) Eden.
Eden, it's me.
[applause]
(presenter) Our demonstrator will apply the full product line.
We'll be selling five separate creams
of increasing strengths
according to the concentration of the active ingredient.
Five being the most potent.
The goal is to tailor the lift
to the condition of the various facial regions.
And as you see, a range of strengths
allows the consumer to apply what's needed where needed.
For a general purpose product, I think the leveI two
will provide visible all-around improvement without any adverse effects.
Number five, being the strongest, can work miracles.
And speaking of miracles,
now we are also developing a product for the breasts and the buttocks.
Oh, I think it's ready.
[applause]
(audience) Bravo. Bravo.
Any questions before we continue?
Yes. Couldn't we market a cheaper version
for Down Below with only one product?
Yes, we could, at the very lightest concentration.
The product doesn't hold up well at very high doses.
Let's see what happens with excessive application.
She had our product applied about ten minutes ago. so-
[applause]
I have a question for the demonstrator.
[clears throat] Mr. Boruchowitz. right?
Uh. I'm-I'm sorry.
You must have me confused with somebody else.
My name's Adam.
Adam Kirk.
Excuse me. I'm looking for Eden Moore.
Have you seen her? Yeah. she just left.
No. No.
Damn it.
[alarm goes off]
Hey! Stop!
Security breach. tower two.
Transworld. For a better, brighter tomorrow.
[siren blaring]
Stop him!
(woman) Gravity: a revolution about to begin.
New, from Transcosmetics.
Uplift yourself today.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
I'm looking for my dog.
What's your name?
I can't talk to you.
Why not?
You're from Down Below.
I'm Adam.
[doorbell chimes]
You son of a gun.
I knew you were up to something.
Bob. can I come in?
Of course. that's what I'm here for. Come on. come on.
[dogs barking]
You see.
men. [clears throat]
we're like reaI estate agents.
And we buy. we sell.
keep our options open.
Women. well.
they're more like contractors.
You know. they build to last.
You see the difference?
Yeah. Yes. I think so.
Oh. you will. You will. my friend.
Right. right. Well. I'm adding maximum weight
to the exterior layer
to counteract the heating problem.
Now. my friend. try this for size.
If it fits. you are through with overheating.
This is nice.
Bob. wow. this is nice.
Oh. boy. oh. boy.
Transworld are going to curse the day they fired me.
[laughing]
Yeah. look at that. You got it?
That's a pretty good fit. Good. good.
Right. well. I'm going to get back to the outer layer.
the icing on the cake. [laughs]
I don't get it.
It's impossible to change gravity's status.
Are you sure?
Yeah, absolutely.
Look, so now all we have to do
is carefully mix the two opposing solutions.
And wait a second to stabilize gravity.
Yeah. and then-
Voila.
No.
God.
That is better than a good idea. my friend.
That is... revolutionary.
But don't they have the formula now?
No.
No. I gave them everything but the main ingredient.
Oh.
I would give good money
just to see the look on Lagavulin's face right now.
So. are you telling me we don't have the formula?
We-
Well. we tried to recreate it severaI times.
but the thing is. we're missing an ingredient.
A pink powder.
We found traces in his office.
Without it. there is no cream.
That's unacceptable.
You can't figure it out without him?
No.
[tango music]
You remember?
I'm starting to.
Border police.
Everybody up against the wall.
Ma'am. this way. please.
Damn it.
Listen. I got to go. No.
Identification. I'll find you.
Hey. you. There he is.
Come back here. Stop. Stop.
What's he doing?
Don't let him get away.
I'm going to the left.
I spot him.
Stay where you are. Go, go, go.
Breaking news coming in live.
Border police have launched a massive manhunt
for the fugitive who just escaped from the Cafe Dos Mundos.
All nationaI law enforcement agencies have been alerted,
and we will keep you updated as the story develops.
Come on. let's go.
Wait. wait. wait. wait.
What?
I- I just thought I heard something.
You okay? Yeah.
[cracking of wood]
There's somebody there. Go. go. go. go.
(man) Hey, you! Stop!
[gunshot]
Eden, come on.
[dogs barking]
Come on. come on. come on. Don't let them get away.
Go. go. go. go!
[dogs barking]
Eden, the weights. Come on, take off my weights.
Take them off.
[dogs barking]
Eden. come on.
Okay.
[gunshots]
[shouts]
Eden. Eden. take this arm.
[gunshots]
(Eden) Oh. God.
Hold on. Hold on.
Eden. hold on.
Please. hold on.
Hold on.
Don't let go. I'm holding you.
Don't let go.
[groaning]
Hold on. Hold on.
Let go of me. No.
Please. No. don't.
I'm so sorry. No.
I'm so sorry. No! No!
[muffled voices]
Hello.
Nice to have you back.
Thanks.
[horn honks]
Wait. No. no. wait.
No! No! I haven't done anything.
No!
Get in the car. No! Please!
I haven't done anything!
Here's the deaI. You give us the complete anti-aging cream formula,
and if you attempt to contact Miss Moore,
the charges against her will be reinstated.
Do I make myself clear, Mr. Kirk?
[coughing]
[wind blowing]
(Adam) So, that's it.
They won, and I lost.
I just lost everything.
They took Aunt Becky
and they took Eden from me.
Oh, it's hard to accept that I will never see Eden again.
I was naive to think that I could change the world.
You know, up there,
they always win.
And down here,
well, we always lose.
So, I guess I just go back to my life,
to my world.
And I'll try here, Down Below, to do my best.
I will never
ever
forget her.
[clears throat]
Gently does it.
[whispers] Yes.
Victory.
So. is it true everyone's rich Up Top?
Don't you know? It's totaI paradise up there.
Paradise?
Guys. I don't think so. you know.
I mean. they might be rich. sure.
but... it's definitely not paradise.
Hey. let me look at that. huh?
What do you think? We should. uh. you think we should make this fly?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. yeah? We'll give it a boost?
All right. hold onto that.
All right. here we go.
All right. Now try it.
Come on. throw it.
[telephone ringing]
Hey, Eden. It's Paula.
Are you still sick?
You haven't shown up four days.
Did you get those strange flowers we sent over?
I think they came from floor zero.
Let me know, okay?
I hope you're all right.
Bye.
[beep]
[doorbell chiming]
Bob Boruchowitz?
Yeah? I'm Eden Moore.
I need your help.
(Bob) Yeah, fantastic.
Bob. Bob? What?
You think you're the only one who can go upside down?
You won't get rid of me easy as that, old buddy.
I can't believe this. How did you do it?
Hey. hey. hey. hey.
Check this out.
[laughing]
And-
No. no. no. [laughing]
Did you make a vest or what?
I can't believe this.
Oh! Oh! Put me down. sweetie.
[laughing]
You're not even wearing a vest. Where's the weights?
No. no. no. no. We're 90% water. right?
So. I combine upper and lower inversion
with a hyper infusion. yeah? Yeah.
Now. you know this better than I do.
but the breakthrough. man. the-the break-
Oh. man. I'm jabbering.
The pro- The problem is. right.
the effect only lasts an hour. right? I'll improve it now.
Oh. and you. you. you my friend.
hey. you have a rendezvous.
What's this?
[whispers] No.
You better not go dressed like that.
Hey. did you tell him?
Hey! Another thing.
The cream, well, thanks to your stamps,
I bought the patent under the name Albert & Co.
before Transworld.
[laughing]
Nice. Nice.
Adam.
Eden.
I can't believe it.
How did you get down here?
Bob found a way to bring me down.
I can't believe it.
But you're with me now. Really.
I- I didn't know what happened to you.
Are you okay?
[whispers] I'm pregnant.
We're having twins.
Oh. my God.
[whispers] I can't believe it.
How long can you stay down here for?
Forever. maybe.
Bob said it's because I'm pregnant.
He said you'd understand how this makes me different.
I love you.
(Adam) We didn't realize yet
the repercussions of what we had done.
Our love would forever alter the course of history.
But that's another story.
