(VIN DIESEL and ISAAC NEWTON are sharing a cab.)
VIN: You get ninety minutes then BOOM. Space shit hits you.
ISAAC: How fast was the debris traveling?
VIN: Really f#$king fast. That's how fast.
ISAAC: I would imagine so.
VIN: That's why she had to break into the space station.
ISAAC: Are there many of these space stations?
VIN: Yeah, there's, like, one every couple of miles.
ISAAC: Space must be so crowded now.
VIN: A lotta shit floating around up there.
ISAAC: And it causes hazards?
VIN: Yeah, it f&#ks shit up too.
ISAAC: Well, of course.
VIN: That's gravity for you.
(A beat.)
ISAAC: But that isn't gravity at all.
VIN: Dude, trust me. It's gravity. I saw it like four times.
ISAAC: Gravity is a theory.
VIN: Fine, in THEORY, I saw it four times.
ISAAC: I mean that the definition of gravity--
VIN: Look, look, look--this happens all the time when I make movies. You fly out of a car over a bridge, catch your little lesbian friend, and hit the pavement on the highway a hundred feet away from you and everybody gets mad because they say you can't do that in real life. But how do they know you can't? I could fly out of a car if I wanted to.
ISAAC: You can fly?
VIN: Maybe I can! Who the f#$k knows?
ISAAC: Gravity would actually play a part in you not being able to fly. You see--
VIN: Mumbo jumbo, Dumbo. That's what my aunt used to say before she'd beat me with her turtle spoon.
ISAAC: I'm sorry?
VIN: It means keep ya mouth shut, okay?
ISAAC: You're quite antagonistic.
VIN: I've had a hard life.
ISAAC: Really?
VIN: No, I just look like I have.
ISAAC: I suppose I don't, but my life was somewhat sad. I was born prematurely three months after the death of my father and my mother said I was so small I could have fit in a beer stein.
VIN: That's f#$ked up.
ISAAC: But one perseveres, doesn't one?
VIN: Yeah, whatever.
ISAAC: So what happens after she enters the station in space?
VIN: She talks to some Chinese guy and then she barks and shit now I'm going to cry. That shit hit me hard, man.
ISAAC: Did some sort of space madness overtake her?
VIN: Dude, you try floating around while rockets fly at you and see how you do.
ISAAC: And at some point does she return to Earth?
VIN: I mean, I don't want to give anything away--
ISAAC: I'm just wondering at what point gravity comes into play?
VIN: Dude, the whole movie is gravity. It's called Gravity.
ISAAC: But I thought you had specific examples of--
VIN: Look! You and me? We're nothing. Okay? We're nothing! You're not my family! You get that?
ISAAC: What does that have to do with--
VIN: Sorry, man. I'm trying to learn lines for my next movie and it's so hard. Sometimes I have to work the lines into my daily life, you know?
ISAAC: I'm not familiar with the theater but--
VIN: Take your #$% out of my #$%, dude!
ISAAC: What sort of play is this?
VIN: That's not a line. You're just irritating the f#$k out of me.
ISAAC: My apologies, Mr. Diesel. Perhaps we should continue our ride in silence.
VIN: Yeah, good idea.
(A beat.)
VIN: You really gotta see that movie though man.
ISAAC: I think I shall let the stars and their mysteries remain outside my understanding.
VIN: Okay, but after you do that, you really gotta see this f#$king movie.
ISAAC: I...All right.
(The cab stops at a light.)
