The Observer Season One Scenes Survivor

ROUND 6

The Winner!

There’s More Than One of Everything

THE OBSERVER: Do you recognize this? (hands over a vintage coin)
WALTER: How did you get that?
THE OBSERVER: This coin looks similar to the one you're thinking of. But it is from another place. There is more than one of everything. I have said too much, I am not supposed to get involved. I have taken you as far as I can. Does this house look familiar to you?
WALTER: Yes.
THE OBSERVER: Do you remember what you have to find? (studies Walter's bewildered expression) You must try to remember. There isn't much time.

The Observers Season Two Favorite Scenes

Round 1

August

Scene 1

PIN SELLER: Nice specs. I've never seen anything like them before.
AUGUST: They're from somewhere far away. (when offered an American Flag lapel
pin) I don't have any money.
PIN SELLER: Oh, that's okay. I'm gonna give you one of these anyway. There.
Oh, that's great.
AUGUST: Thank you. (August continues to observe then approaches a woman)
Come with me, please.
CHRISTINE HOLLIS: Excuse me? What are you doing? Get off me! What are
you doing? Help me. Help me. Hey! Let go. Help me.
CONCERNED BYSTANDER: Hey, let her go.
CHRISTINE HOLLIS: Somebody help, please!
(August shoots the man with his pulse gun)

Scene 2

WAITRESS: (approaches the Observers table) More hot sauce, gentlemen?
THE OBSERVER: Thank you.
WAITRESS: Sure thing. (leaves the sauce and departs as both Observers start
to cover their meals with hot sauce)
JULY: (arrives, removes hat, places it down with his briefcase then sits)
We have a situation with August.
DECEMBER: (studies images of August abducting a young woman)
Who is she?
JULY: I don't know. But she's supposed to be on Tropos Air, Flight 821.
DECEMBER: Why did he abduct her?
JULY: We don't know -- and the flight has already left the terminal.
DECEMBER: Then he's created an irregularity. We'll need to repair it.
(to The Observer) Contact Donald. (The Observer opens his communication
device and starts pushing buttons)

Scene 3

AUGUST: You were going to die.
WOMAN ON TELEVISION: We will bring you live coverage just as soon as it happens. Right now, what you're--
AUGUST: I saved you.
CHRISTINE HOLLIS: (sitting still. stunned) How did you--
AUGUST: You're not safe. Yet. There is something I need to do. (stands) I
have to go out. I would prefer not to gag you. (places gag in her mouth)
But it is for your own protection. (ties gag and leaves)

Scene 4

DECEMBER: (to August, standing rigidly next to the table) Your actions took
us all by surprise. I take it you've come here to explain yourself.
AUGUST: Then you are aware of the plane crash.
DECEMBER: Of course. Christine Hollis. Who is she?
AUGUST: I have observed this woman for much of her life. She is unique.
THE OBSERVER: They are all unique. That is not reason to interfere with the
course her life was meant to take.
AUGUST: We have interfered before.
THE OBSERVER: Only to correct a mistake of our own making. She has
no future.
AUGUST: Then why do I see it? (looks at July) Why do I see that she
is important?
DECEMBER: Your perception must be in error.
AUGUST: Perhaps.
DECEMBER: Your oversight will be forgiven, But Miss Hollis must be corrected. We've already seen to it.

Scene 5

AUGUST: You got my message. I suspected that a likeness of a nitrogen molecule would attract your attention.
WALTER: (slightly intimidated) Please don't take my son. Your friend and
I had a deal. We had an arrangement. I know what I did was wrong, but--
AUGUST: (a little surprised) That is not why I contacted you. I need your help.
WALTER: My help? (relieved) Well. In that case, I should call him. And Agent
Dunham. They'll want to know I'm talking to you.
AUGUST: I suspect that they might be occupied right now.

Scene 6

WALTER: (sitting at a table near the windows) What is it that requires my help?
AUGUST: I have interfered in the natural course of events. To correct that,
the others will try to kill Christine Hollis until they succeed. If we run, they
will find us. If I stop the assassin, they will send another. I cannot see
any course of action that will prevent... (upset) her death.
WALTER: (eager) What makes you think I can help?
AUGUST: Because you have solved such a matter before. You saw beyond the
limitations of your problems.
WALTER: (confessing) Not really. I just missed my son. May I ask what is so
important about Miss Hollis?
AUGUST: I cannot explain the reason. I merely see it. I have never experienced
such... certainty. But the others, they say she is of no consequence.
WALTER: Well, in that case, if you cannot persuade the others of your conviction,
then you must do something to prove it. You must make her important.
And of course whatever you do, you must be prepared to face the consequences.

Scene 7

AUGUST: Will she be safe now?
THE OBSERVER: Who is she? Why did you save her?
AUGUST: I saw her many years ago. She was a child. Her parents had just been
killed. She was crying. But she... she was brave. She crossed my mind...
Somehow. She never left it. I think... it's what they call... feelings.
I think... I love her. Will she be safe now?
THE OBSERVER: Yes. You made her important. She is responsible for the
death of one of us.

Scene 8

DECEMBER: (standing near the ride and watch the two. to The Observer)
Look how happy she is. It's a shame things are about to get so hard for her.

Peter

Scene 9

DECEMBER: (as he exits a late afternoon matinee of a 1985 sci-fi movie
in the alternate universe) Their theories are fascinating.
AUGUST: They are not theories. They are entertainment.
THE OBSERVER: (waiting curside for the duo) I have made... a mistake.
DECEMBER: So I've heard. What were you doing in the lab?
THE OBSERVER: Doctor Bishop was on the verge of developing a
cure for the boy. It was an important moment. He discovered me.
There was no other way to witness the moment.
AUGUST: You have changed the future. You have created a new set of probabilities.
THE OBSERVER: But you must agree the moment was significant.
The boy is significant.
DECEMBER: You need to take action to restore balance.
THE OBSERVER: How?
AUGUST: (thinking ahead) You will have an opportunity to fix this.
(walks off with his movie companion)

Scene 10

WALTER: (looks at Peter asleep under a blanket in the back seat)
Is he okay?
WALTER/THE OBSERVER: (simultaneously) Who are you?
WALTER: You're the man I saw... in the lab...
WALTER/THE OBSERVER: (simultaneously) On the other side.
THE OBSERVER: Your friend and the one who was injured, they left to seek
medical attention. He won't live much longer. You must fix him. Your lab is six
miles from here. Can you drive?
WALTER: I think so. (after The Observer pulls the vehicle to the side of the road)
Why... why did you save us?
THE OBSERVER: The boy is important. He has to live. (exits the car)
