Moonbase 8

Thank you.

Yes, I will take that.

No, no, no, no! Come on!

Attention, Moonbase 8.

We've received your answers

on your psychological evaluation reports.

We've left more than four lines per answer,

and we're hoping you can elaborate on your answers

- beyond simple yes or noes. - Told you guys,

we rushed through those answers.

We should... We should've spent more time.

We also wish to inform you

that your new base mate will be arriving shortly.

All right, let's clean this place up. We got company.

I would've saved my game. They should give us notice.

Bullshit.

Morning, everybody.

Hey, Alisha.

- Morning. - Smells good, Skip.

Hey, Rook, do you know

what the efficiency loss percentage was from last month?

I didn't see it logged.

Oh, yeah. The,

I should know that. It's 20 per...

I think it was 20, thir... it was like 20 or 30.

- Skip, do you remember what that was? - 8.2.

Eight... it was eight point... 8.2.

- Well, thank you. - All right.

Beef. It's what's for breakfast.

Like the, old commercial, right?

I'm still working, but thank you, Michael.

Um, it's Skip.

You can call me that, or you can call me Skippy,

or, Skipson, I don't mind.

Don't call him Skunk, you'll get in trouble. Huh?

Um,

I know you're new here.

We've got, um, a little bit of a-a rule.

Might be silly to some, but it's important to us.

We don't, work during meals.

Well, I'm just trying to fill in some gaps

on these spreadsheets.

Yeah...

- Hey, Cap, you all right? - I'm fine.

Good morning.

- Morning. - You're not feeling well?

It's probably just allergies.

I get... I get allergies sometimes.

You, you don't look good.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Well, according to the medical protocol of the base manual,

which, I'm sure you guys read, right?

The manual?

- Yeah. - We read it every day.

Yeah, I mesmerized it.

If you are sick, we need to make sure

- that you're not contagious. - ...you're not contagious.

If we get sick, the mission fails.

This... You know, the mission fails if we get sick, Cap.

It's in the book.

We'll need to quarantine you.

We need to quarantine you.

Oh, come on. That's overkill.

You better listen to her, Cap.

You know, um,

I'm a doctor.

Here, I'm the... the team medic, as it were.

You know what? That's really great.

Because you can do the examination on Mr. Caputo

- to determine if he needs to be quarantined or not. - -Oh, come on.

All right. Cap, we got to go

- do an examination. - It's just... I told you, it's allergies.

- Well, well, let's have... make sure that that's the case. - Can we turn up the heat?

It's freezing in here.

Have fun, you two.

- Those guys, huh? - Yeah.

Those guys are crazy.

Anyway...

This is a waste of time.

Well, technically, we're supposed to do an examination,

so let me just do it.

Put this in your mouth.

Now I got the hiccups.

104. That's not good.

It's perfectly normal.

That's not normal at all.

-There is a little bit of inflammation-- -Why are you doing this, man?

Stop talking, Cap.

That's good.

No, you don't make it tight like that; you make it tight

- with the thing. - I'll do it. Stop.

You're being impatient.

Hawaii, that must be nice, huh?

Yeah.

What's tourism like these days in Hawaii?

I don't know. I've been here.

Mr. Caputo.

What are you doing?!

There you go.

Don't put it on your tongue; put it on your cheek.

Like this.

My cheek?

That's too much. That's too much.

Why do you need that much blood?

All right, Doc, give it to me straight.

What's the diagnosis?

So this is the designated quarantine area.

Let's keep this an outbreak of one.

All righty.

All right, let me know

if you need any magazines, buddy.

I'll be fine here.

You got to drink plenty of fluids, all right?

Don't forget to hydrate.

Will do.

Now, are you sure you don't want to take any antibiotics

- or antihistamines to help relieve the symptoms? - Nah.

I just need to let my body do its thing.

All right. We'll be praying for you.

Not gonna be that drastic, I hope.

Hello? Anybody there?

Rook? Skip?

Hey, Cap. Is that you?

Listen, do we have any lemons anywhere on the base?

I think we got some Country Time powdered stuff.

- Will that do it? - No, no, no.

I need some lemons, and I need 'em piping hot.

- That's the thing. - That's what's...

Yeah. I-I... Like I said,

I don't think we have any, but--

Do you know how much vitamin C is locked in that rind?

And once you heat it up, it just...

- All right. - ...blooms like a flower.

All right, man. I just... I got to get back to work, so...

Yeah. Hey, how's your family doing?

You got kids, right?

- Hello? - Yeah, I'm still here,

but listen, I don't want to hang up on you.

I just... I got to go. I got to get back to work.

- We'll talk to you later. - Rook?

Rook?

What are you doing?

I'm washing my dishes.

Doesn't the chart wheel say you're on laundry duty?

I'm just washing my dishes.

You don't want me washing my own dishes?

No, I mean, I'd prefer you'd just leave them in the sink

so that whoever is on dish duty can get them.

I mean, why have a chore wheel

if we're gonna do everything willy-nilly?

Well, if you want to improve efficiency,

I suggest creating an algorithm based on availability

instead of a rotating pie chart used by kindergarten teachers.

That's not very nice.

You know, everything was working just fine

until you got here.

And by the way, I spent 15 years at JPL

designing efficiency algorithms, all right?

For satellite exploration.

Satellites.

Does anybody know if we have any, citrus fruit?

I know we don't,

but I-I got to double-check.

We have vitamin C supplements.

No. He doesn't want supplements.

He wants actual lemons, okay?

He needs the pulp or something.

Michael?

It sounds like you've got what Robert's got.

I... don't think I do.

I think I'm okay.

You don't look too good, Skip. Let me see. Come here.

-Don't... Don't-- -Yeah, you're burning up.

Let me see your tongue.

Yeah. You don't look great.

Cap? Cap, are you there?

This is Caputo. I read you. What do you need?

Yes, Dr. Henai

has come down with whatever it is you have,

and we're gonna have to quarantine him as well.

Well, I can't have another sick person in here.

I'm already sick.

Mr. Caputo, this is serious.

Yeah, I know it's serious, believe me.

I'm in here suffering with it.

But he cannot be in here.

I cannot have another sick person in here with me.

Then he gives me his strain, then I got a double strain,

and that's a superbug.

No.

There's no way you're gonna kill a double strain with...

whatever medicine we have on the base.

Has anyone been able to find me any lemons yet?

We will get you your lemons. Go. Greenhouse.

I hope so, 'cause,

the only way I see...

Well, I don't know why

Skip keeps coming back here.

You cannot be here.

Go back. Here's another idea.
