Scenes with Dr. Floyd
5 scenes Dr. Floyd Dr. Floyd Good day, gentlemen. This is a pre-recorded briefing made prior to your departure and which for security reasons of the highest importance has been known on board during the mission only by your H-A-L 9000 computer. Now that you are in Jupiter's space, and the entire crew is revived, it can be told to you. Eighteen months ago, the first evidence of intelligent life off the Earth was discovered. It was buried forty feet below the lunar surface, near the crater Tycho. Except for a single, very powerful radio emission aimed at Jupiter the four million year old black monolith has remained completely inert, its origin and purpose still a total mystery.

Dr. Floyd [Floyd and Michaels choose sandwiches from a cooler while flying over the lunar surface.]
What's that? Chicken?
Dr. Bill Michaels
Something like that. Tastes the same anyway.
Elena Oh, we're going home. We have just spent three months calibrating the new antennae at Tchalinko... And what about you?
Dr. Floyd I'm just on my way up to Clavius.
Dr Floyd Don't suppose you have any idea what the damn thing is, huh?
Dr. Rolf Halvorsen
Wish to hell we did.
