DAVID
Wait... Project 880, or Avatar... It’s supposed to be the next big thing by James Cameron.

CAITLIN
Right, the guy who did Titanic. “I’m King of the World!” Whatever world this is.

HELEN
Our people here call it, Eywa’eveng, but generally it will be known as Pandora.

DAVID
James Cameron directed Aliens. He did Terminator and Terminator 2. He does action movies, with explosions, and... he kills people off. This world... has giant monsters in it. A few days ago, I really wanted to see what a palulukan looked like. But, I don’t want to find out!

HELEN
Then stop shouting.

Helen grabs David’s and Helen’s arms and yanks the two of them with her, walking forward through the alien forest.

HELEN
We’ll avoid the main timelines and events, and limit contact with major human characters.

CAITLIN
Well, what about the Na’vi? I mean, the cat people? We should avoid contacting them, too.

Helen looks around, flicking her ears.

HELEN
Too late for that.

DAVID (Na’vi with subtitles)
We should get moving.

The three of them now start walking briskly in one randomly chosen direction.

CAITLIN
Right. (Starts speaking in Na’vi) Nothing to see, just a small hunting party... (Now speaking in English) Smell that fresh hair. It’s warm, with a bit of cinnamon.

Helen looks at her clockwork-powered iPad-like device.

HELEN
Nitrogen and Oxygen like Earth, but also eighteen percent carbon dioxide, almost six percent xenon, as well as some methane, and hydrogen sulfide, and traces of ammonia and chlorine.

David stops walking, coughing and gasping. Helen forcefully reassures him that his reaction is purely psychosomatic.

HELEN
Relax; this atmosphere is perfectly natural for you as you are.

CAITLIN
Does that mean we can’t breathe on Earth anymore?
