INT - NEXT DAY - MILITARY LAB.

JACK

Dr. McDonald?

WENDY

Yes.

JACK

I'm Lieutenant Jack Darling.
(beat)
You can call me Darling.

WENDY

What? No military protocol Lieutenant? That's refreshing. If one more person talked in military protocol, I think I'd scream.

JACK

I think that's why I'm here. I'm the only human in this place. The rest are robots.

ANOTHER LAB ASSISTANT (LIEUTENANT WILSON) SCOWLS AT JACK. JACK STICKS HIS TONGUE OUT WHEN THE ASSISTANT TURNS HER BACK. WENDY LAUGHS.

WENDY

You certainly are a character. (Lowers voice) But I agree about the robots. I never met a group like this and I've worked in some tough labs.

JACK

Yeah, I've heard about your monkey business.

WENDY

What does that mean?
