The Martian (film) (original) (raw)

Hi, I'm Mark Watney and I'm still alive... obviously.

In the face of overwhelming odds, I'm left with only one option: I'm gonna have to science the shit out of this.

At some point, everything's gonna go south on you... everything's going to go south and you're going to say, this is it. This is how I end. Now you can either accept that, or you can get to work. That's all it is. You just begin. You do the math. You solve one problem... and you solve the next one... and then the next. And If you solve enough problems, you get to come home.

I'm the first person to be alone on an entire planet.

The Martian is a 2015 film about Astronaut Mark Watney, who is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind on Mars by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive.

Directed by Ridley Scott. Written by Drew Goddard, based on the novel by Andy Weir.

Bring Him Home. (taglines)

Melissa Lewis: All right team, stay in sight of each other. Let's make NASA proud today.

Rick Martinez: How's it looking over there, Watney?

Mark Watney: Well, you will be happy to hear that in Grid Section 14-28, the particles were predominately coarse but in 29, they're much finer and they should be ideal for chem analysis.

Rick Martinez: Oh, wow. Did everybody hear that? Mark just discovered dirt. [laughs] Should we alert the media?

Annie Montrose: What the hell is "Project Elrond?"

Vincent Kapoor: I had to make something up.

Annie Montrose: But "Elrond?"

Mitch Henderson: Because it's a secret meeting.

Annie Montrose: How do you know that; why does Elrond mean secret meeting?

Bruce Ng: The Council of Elrond. It's the... it's... it's... from The Lord of the Rings. It's the meeting where they decide to destroy the One Ring.

Teddy Sanders: If we are going to call something Project Elrond, I would like my code name to be Glorfindel.

Annie Montrose: Okay, I hate every one of you.

Mitch Henderson: He's not even got to the bad parts yet.

Vincent Kapoor: Well, let's get to the bad parts.

Bruce Ng: We need to remove the nose LR, the windows, and the whole of panel 19.

Vincent Kapoor: You want to take the front of the ship off?

Bruce Ng: Sure. The nose alone is 400 kilograms.

Vincent Kapoor: You want to send a man into space without the front of his ship?

Bruce Ng: Well, no. We are going to have him cover it with HAB canvas. The hull is mostly there to keep air in. Mars' atmosphere is so thin, you do not need a lot of streamlining. By the time the ship is going fast enough for air resistance to matter, it'll be high enough that there will be practically no air.

Vincent Kapoor: You want to send him into space under a tarp?

Bruce Ng: Yes. Can I go on?

Vincent Kapoor: NO!

Teddy Sanders: I just had to explain to the President of the United States what a bureaucratic felcher is.

Mitch Henderson: I made the mistake of typing it into Google. Don't.

Annie Montrose: But if something goes wrong?

Vincent Kapoor: Then we lose the crew.

Bruce Ng: So what, we either have a high chance of killing one person, or a low chance of killing six people. How do we make that decision?

Vincent Kapoor: We don't. [pointing to Teddy] He does.

Mitch Henderson: Yeah, bullshit. It should be Commander Lewis' call.

Teddy Sanders: We still have a chance to bring five astronauts home safe and sound. I'm not risking their lives.

Mitch Henderson: Let them make that decision.

Teddy Sanders: Mitch, we are going with option one.

Mitch Henderson: You goddamn coward.

Vincent Kapoor: How's he doing?

Mindy Park: Uh... He asked us to call him Captain Blondebeard.

Vincent Kapoor: Well technically Mars is international waters..

Mindy Park: Yeah, I know. He explained it to us.

Melissa Lewis: You're in Martinez's hands now.

Mark Watney: Well... tell that asshole no barrel rolls.
