Original subtitles

You want Wassenfelder, you have to deal.

[ Woman ] Previously on Defying Gravity.

Ten of you will accept our sincere thanks and go home tomorrow.

I think you're makin' a big mistake.

Good-bye, Maddux Donner.

[ Zoe ] This is gonna be my marker--

- an eagle. - It's a good omen.

There's some weird physiological changes happening to you guys...

that I'm not supposed to talk about.

We don't want anyone to see the gamma object.

We've been working on a 50-50 plan.

This one will be the real images,

and this'll be the cover recordings of Zoe picking up the rocks.

Mintz wants me to examine...

every moment of my miracle with Hector.

Miracles are... reality with parts missing.

Here we go.

Donner, you have got to get in close.

- [ Woman ] He's going to miss. - Contact.

- How far from the object? - 286 meters.

That's too far.

We got 20 minutes to get off that planet.

[ Baby Crying ]

Did she just say "baby"?

[ Maddux ] Zoe, what are you doing?

I can get it, Donner.

[ Maddux Narrating ] My father used to say that if whiskey was courage in a bottle,

there'd be a national monument in his name.

[ Baby Crying ]

His point-- other than he drank too much--

was that courage isn't something you can buy.

It's something you find.

- Are you hearing it, Donner? - No. I-I'm not hearing anything, Zoe.

But you need to turn around and come back to the lander. Do you copy?

Zoe, turn around and come back to the lander.

[ Crying Continues ] Not without the baby.

There isn't a baby. You're on Venus.

Have we muted their comm?

Right after the missed landing. That exchange was clear.

- And the recorded E.V.A.? - Up and running.

Go to it.

Um, Paula, we need a live shot of you on the flight deck...

to make the transition to the recording.

Paula.

Yes. Copy that. Wass?

Yeah, I'm on it.

[ Beeps ] [ Paula ] I'm ready.

You may have noticed that Zoe has very little mobility in her pressure suit.

It's obviously an hallucination.

Was she hearing the baby on the ship?

[ Paula Continues ]

She said it was guilt-related. Did she tell you the reason?

No. She never told me.

Why would she be hallucinating a baby?

[ Sighs ] She aborted one in her first year of training.

And I wasn't told.

There are certain personal decisions that I think should remain personal.

[ Paula ] She will have to rely on her boots, which were specially designed...

to pick up dirt instead of repel it.

All Zoe has to do is walk around a little--

And cut to the recording.

and then step on the sled that she's been towing behind her...

and deposit any of the samples that her boots have collected.

Anyone bothered by the black boulder that just appeared...

a hundred meters out in the fake footage? 11:00.

It's small. Can we edit it on the fly?

From this point on. Let's see what they can do.

[ Zoe On Recording ] I think I'm getting some pretty good samples here,

although I'm not sure my mother would approve of my dirty feet.

Can you pull up the helmet cam, please?

Donner, I need for you to get her back on the lander now.

- That suit is only good for 20 minutes. - Ted, she's hearing a baby.

She's not listening to me. Zoe?

There's no baby. Repeat. There is no baby.

Now get back to the lander. I hear it.

[ Crying Continues ]

I can get it. You're hallucinating.

Is this the same thing that you were hearing on the ship?

It's not on the ship anymore. It's here.

** [ Rock Ballad On Speakers ] [ Door Opens ]

[ Maddux ] Zoe. [ Jen ] Oh, crap.

Listen.

The hell you doing?

[ Jen ] She's getting a tattoo, Donner. A big tattoo.

Big tattoo of what? [ Zoe ] An eagle.

- The omen eagle? - You know about the omen eagle?

- Isn't that the reason she's leaving? - [ Zoe ] No. No.

It's not the reason I'm leaving. I was asked to leave. I got kicked out.

- Not by me. - No, not by you, Donner. This isn't about you.

This is about me. It's about where I'm going. Lady, you need to sit still.

This eagle on my back-- it marks a turning point in my life. All right?

There is pre-eagle, and there is post-eagle. You, Donner, are pre-eagle.

Well, actually, I'm here right now, so that makes me mid-eagle too.

I really can't do this right now.

Guys, you know what? Can you take Donner home?

I'm not going home. I'm seeing her to the station.

- So meet us at the train station. - I was just there.

So go back.

She doesn't want you here, all right?

We'll be there in a couple of hours. You can say good-bye then.

Rollie, please. Uh, I'm your ride.

Right. Ajay, please.

Sure.

Donner, I guess we should go.

[ Maddux ] Huh? And, um--

[ Whispers ] don't say anything.

I would never say anything.

Well, you might. Well, you could.

You know, destiny and man's right to know-- whatever.

But... don't. I won't.

Thank you. After you.

- Ajay, how long has she been out? - Seven minutes.

All systems on her suit are nominal.

She's 150 meters from the lander, still outbound.

She's got three minutes to turn around, or she's not making it back.

Okay, Zoe, you gotta listen to me now.

This Gamma object has got you hearing things.

[ Breathing Heavily ] I know what I'm hearing, Donner.

No, you don't. You don't know what you're hearing,

because there is no baby on Venus.

Turn around right now, or you're not gonna make it back to the ship. You understand?

I need you to get me a private comm with her.

- I think we can get through working with Donner. - No Donner. Just me and Zoe.

I need to speak to her privately. Do it.

Venus lander, this is Antares.

- I need you to jump off this comm. - I'm a little busy here, Ted.

Jen thinks she can get through to her.

Doesn't want anyone else on the line. She doesn't want me on the line?

- She doesn't want anyone. - All right. Going to 6.

- Mission Control, do you copy? - Let her try privately.

Roger that. We're moving to channel 6 with Donner.

It's all yours.

Hey, Zoe, it's Jen. Do you copy?

Jen? Is that you?

Yeah. I got us on a private comm so we could have a little girl talk.

You know what I finally came up with?

Yeah. Marking the day with a footprint.

That's nice. It's really nice.

Footprint's easier than a tattoo.

Yeah.

Well, it's not looking so easy right now, Zoe.

I'm gonna make it, Jen. [ Baby Crying ]

Only if you turn back right now, Zoe.

That suit is certified for 20 minutes on Venus-- not 25, not 30.

[ Crying Continues ] I hear the baby.

Look, that's the hallucination. You know that.

No. This is different.

It's not your baby, Zoe.

I know that you think it is, but it's not.

Your baby's gone.

[ Crying Continues ] You're wrong.

It's right up ahead. No, no, no.

This isn't you.

Zoe, please, can you hear yourself?

Hey, that thing is making you hear the baby. It wants to kill you.

[ Crying Continues ] I'm gonna get it.

It'll be okay.

Where you're going there is no coming back.

Okay, there's no pre-eagle. There's no post-eagle.

There's just... nothing.

Please don't leave us.

Don't do this.

We need you on this ship.

Please, Zoe, turn back now.

Zoe?

You did the best you could.

She's gonna die out there, isn't she?

And if Donner tries to wait for her, so will he.

No. We can't let him do that. This isn't Mars.

No, it's not, but it sure feels that way.

[ Suit Motors Whirring ]

[ Crying Continues ]

Passing a probe now.

That's the Chinese attempt from '43.

She's now at 200 meters, still outbound.

Ten minutes on the surface. No return.

If they want us to retrieve them,

why the hell do they keep killing us?

She's not dead yet, Mike. In fact, she's our only hope.

Hey, Z, I'm back. Copy that, Donner.

How's Jen? You guys have a nice talk?

- I'm not turning around. - I see that. You just passed your no-return.

Yeah. Heads-up is flashing. Choosing to ignore it.

Does Jen have some idea why you're hearing a baby?

'Cause I can't help but think if I knew the answer to that, I could talk you back here.

Yeah, I don't think so, Donner.

I don't get women. I mean, I get women.

I-I don't get women. I think aside from the obvious ways,

they're really not that much different than you and I.

No. Wrong. They're way different.

What if you were the ASCAN who didn't make the cut?

Would you just hang out and wait for Zoe?

No. I'm not gonna have the failure rubbed in my face. Exactly.

You wouldn't wait around, and neither would I.

Well, I wouldn't get a damn tattoo.

Maybe she needed it, like a ritual-- a way to say good-bye.

I could think of a lot of ways that are less painful and permanent.

I think the pain and the permanence are the whole reason she did it.

These last few months, they've been really emotional for Zoe.

Well, it's not like I'm responsible for that.

Are you saying I'm responsible for that?

How am I responsible for that?

[ Baby Crying ]

Another failed probe.

Those were ours she just passed.

Were those ours? Yeah. We sent two.

Where did they launch from? Canaveral.

Canaveral's underwater.

I guess they can cover up anything.

Barnes will now drag her sled back to its dock,

then go onto the platform that will lift her into the lander.

So far, this has been a textbook mission.

- She's 20 meters to target. - Poe, I need to know her surface time.

Uh, 16 minutes, 37 seconds.

Thermal cooling is coming off nominal.

- We should start to see seal failures in five minutes. - [ Mike ] The lander?

Cross-bus T.C.S. is also sub-nominal.

Internal temperature's 25 degrees Celsius and rising fast.

Donner, you're gonna have to switch to suit pack soon.

T.C.S. on your lander is starting to fail.

Uh, roger that. It is getting hot in here.

I also need you to think about your launch sequence.

I'll think about it. We're gonna hold off on that for now.

You're gonna have to be ready when she goes down, Maddux.

Yeah, I heard you the first time, Rollie. Okay? I get it.

And it's not Mars. I got that too.

But I'm the guy that missed this landing.

- There was a crosswind. - That doesn't matter.

That was my responsibility.

And it's my responsibility to make sure that she gets every chance possible to get back.

I owe her that much.

Copy that.

I know he said this isn't Mars, but...

it's exactly what happened on Mars.

Then you have to stop him.

Ted, you do. Talk some sense into him. Don't let this happen again.

Donner, listen, buddy. Hey, you're really making us nervous up here.

So what I need you to do is I need for you to get back onto that--

When she goes down, I'll go. Until then, she gets every chance.

[ Paula ] Once inside, Donner will have the hatch sealed,

then depressurize and cool off the lower compartment.

Zoe's suit will depressurize on the way back to the ship.

We all have to start getting ready for Zoe and Donner's return.

I hope you all are as excited and as happy and proud...

as we are all.

From Antares, I am Paula Morales, signing off.

- [ Sniffles ] - Paula, we're proud of you. You did a great job.

- That was a fairy tale. - It's the way we wanted it to be.

It's not the way it is.

I need some air. Paula--

[ Suit Motors Whirring ]

[ Baby Crying ]

- [ Beeps ] - Flight, be advised she's running a low-grade fever.

Her suit temperature? Nominal.

This fever's consistent with the Beta hallucinations.

She's approaching the target.

The ASCAN eliminations-- how'd we do?

Aside from Wassenfelder, they did pretty good.

- Barnes? - That's the surprise.

I haven't been able to sleep the last couple nights.

Yeah, well, that should probably tell you something.

- I have no idea who else I'd get rid of. - I'm sure that can't be easy.

[ Sighs ] I tell myself, you know, maybe she's lucky.

Maybe I just gave her a chance to live a normal life.

- She would never think that. - No. Sharon Lewis wouldn't have thought that either.

Buy you dinner?

Tonight I would like a little normal.

- [ Buzzing ] - For the record, I think they screwed up not picking you.

- Thanks, Rollie. - Just my opinion.

- Looks good. - Thanks.

That was sweet. Odd, but sweet. Yeah.

Rollie is a good man, and he has a huge crush on you.

Yeah, but I got this whole Ted mess.

It's sex. It's not a relationship.

Well, maybe I don't want a relationship.

- We all do. - Nadia doesn't.

Nadia's different. Nadia's smart.

'Cause Nadia knows that relationships lead to things.

- Yeah, like feelings. - Yeah, and compromise.

And babies. And pain.

Relationships also lead to pain.

Yes. Yes, they do.

[ Buzzing Continues ]

Please tell me we're almost done. Almost done.

And relationships end.

Honey, they don't have to.

I just wanna know if I'm post-eagle.

I'm gonna be post-eagle, right? [ Laughs ]

That's 20 minutes on the surface. Donner needs to get off.

He will get off when the time is right.

The lander is going to start falling apart.

It won't make it back to the ship!

Donner, you need to start your launch sequence. Nadia.

- Donner! - Stand by, Antares. Just a few more minutes.

Not a few more minutes! Now, Donner! Now! Start your launch sequence!

Donner? [ Breathing Heavily ]

She's stopping. She's at the site.

[ Crying Continues ]

I can see it.

Uh, it's here.

My baby's here.

She's seeing it as a baby.

[ Cooing ]

He's coming to me.

He's floating up to me.

Oh, Zoe.

Zoe, it's amazing.

Zoe, listen. As soon as you have it, you need to start back for the lander.

- Do you copy? - Roger that.

Twenty minutes on the surface. Thermal cooling is starting to fail.

Internal temperature in the suit is 40 degrees centigrade.

That's 104 Fahrenheit. That's the same thing on the lander.

I--

I have him in my arms.

I have him in my arms.

All right, go. Go for the lander. Hurry.

She's got it. She's got Gamma.

Doesn't matter. She'll never make it.

- [ Wass ] You don't know that. - Come on.

I'm coming, Donner.

Coming with our baby. Coming with our baby boy.

Our baby?

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Zoe's burst cyst in the first year of training was a botched abortion.

And Donner was the father.

- Yeah. - [ Exhales ]

Damn.

He'd had a vasectomy after Mars. It somehow reverted.

- We discovered it on his last physical. - Do you think he realizes?

[ Maddux ] Uh, Control, I'd like to get a private comm with Ajay.

- I have a couple questions about the lander. - [ Ajay ] He realizes.

[ Mike ] Talk to him on 6.

- He's not gonna leave without her. - I think I get that.

[ Ajay ] Donner, go to 6. [ Beeps ]

Aje? You there? I'm here, Donner.

Hey. Uh--

Do you remember me telling you I'd been snipped?

Claire told us. It somehow reverted. Yeah, uh--

This whole deal with Zoe, uh--

That cyst thing first year wasn't really a cyst, was it?

That's correct, Maddux.

It's my baby.

Yes.

- It's my rule. - What is?

It's the reason Zoe's leaving.

It's my "I don't screw astronauts" rule, isn't it?

I mean, you know, the part that's-- that's--

About that-- [ Sighs ] I get it. I get it.

I get the tattoo, you know?

When I got back from Mars, you know what I did first thing?

What? I got a vasectomy. I got snipped.

You got a vasectomy?

Yeah. That's painful, permanent.

You know why I did it?

I did it because I didn't want a wife. I didn't want kids.

I didn't want anybody to have to go through...

what I experienced with losing Sharon.

When you do this thing that we do,

death's just part of the deal.

So don't screw astronauts. Don't have kids.

[ Sighs ]

You have one-night stands.

That's my life.

You know? That's my rule.

Okay.

Well, I'm gonna need some help holding this go-cart together,

'cause there's no way in hell I'm leaving here without her.

- Roger that. - [ Beeping ]

Zoe, how we doing?

It's getting a little warm out here, but we're doing fine.

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

You just keep on moving. This bus isn't going anywhere without you too.

- How's she doing? - Not great. Dehydrated. Heart rate's through the roof.

Why would these things go through so much trouble jus-just to kill us?

See, that's the thing that's been bothering me.

- That's what thing? - Well, there's no logic to that.

Maybe it's some kind of test-- maybe the whole idea is that it isn't supposed to be easy.

It's like the trials of Job.

The devil took everything from Job,

hoping he'd renounce his faith.

Yeah, but-- Yeah, but he didn't, right?

[ Paula ] No, Steven.

He didn't.

Okay, her suit's off nominal in all areas.

Servo motors, thermal cooling seals are close to going.

- What's her distance to the lander? - Hundred and fifty meters.

- That's at least another seven minutes. - Ideas?

Come on! Ideas, people!

Ajay, spitball with me here for a second. If the cooling systems are working too hard,

maybe we back 'em off a notch or two and just let the internal temp rise.

No. The heat could kill her. She's working a lot harder than you are, Donner.

But with less temperature differential, the seals might last a little longer.

Look, we need to do anything we can to give her more time.

What's the suit temp now? 43 centigrade.

I'll let her go to 49. That's 120 Fahrenheit. No more.

- What about you, Donner? - Don't worry about the lander. I got my suit.

We'll let you take it to 60, Donner, but that's the limit.

- Do it. - [ Maddux ] All right.

Zoe, listen, we're gonna crank the thermostat up here...

to give the T.C.S. a breather, so it's gonna get hot.

Already hot, Donner.

Think I'm gonna puke. Oh, don't do that.

You don't get a bucket if you're already an astronaut.

Yeah, well, what the hell?

I'm not gonna have to clean this suit.

[ Chuckles ] All right, stop talking and start walking.

You waited.

How's your back? Sore beyond words.

Which is a good thing. It's a fitting end to an era.

Period at the end of a sentence?

More like a painful exclamation point.

Look-- No.

No looks, Donner. No regrets.

Aw, just--

You and I will always be connected in some... strange way I can't explain.

Usually involving too many drinks...

and vomit.

[ Chuckles ]

I'm wearing my bucket.

Well, I was just gonna say that, uh--

I hope we stay in touch.

Let me know when you land? [ Man On P.A. ] Eastbound express.

- Spokane, Fargo, Minneapolis, Chicago. - That'd be me.

That's a nice trip. I've taken it before.

It's a nice ride. I had a hard time pulling my eyes away from the window.

Yeah, it's not a bad planet, is it? No.

[ Laughs ] No, it's not.

And there are no cows on Venus. That's right.

Have fun up there, Donner.

Sure.

[ Maddux ] Zoe? Zoe, you're gonna make it back here to me.

Zoe, come on.

- Hurry. - [ Ted ] She's a hundred meters out.

[ Maddux ] You copy? I need you to push.

- Come on, Zoe. Come on. - Come on.

- Go, Zoe. - Come on.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on, Zoe.

- Go, Zoe. - Go, Zoe.

Go! Come on, Zoe! Let's go!

[ Maddux ] Come on.

- Fifty meters from the lander. - Go, Zoe. Keep pushing.

- [ Alarm Blaring ] - We have a breach in the suit. Left arm servos are failing.

- How far out is she? - Five meters.

- Don't breathe. Get in the cage. - [ Alarm Continues ]

[ Suit Motors Straining ]

- Zoe, you can't breathe. Hold your breath. - She's down.

No. No, no, no, no, no.

Come on.

[ Maddux ] Get up. Get up! Zoe, get in the cage!

- You are so close. - Come on.

Don't breathe. Get in the cage.

She's in. She's in. Donner, pull her up.

[ Lift Motor Whirring ]

[ Mike ] How bad is the breach? Not complete.

- Ninety-three centigrade. - Heart still beating.

- She still have Gamma? - Still in her arms.

- She's in. The door's closed. - Donner, go. Get the hell off that planet.

- Roger that. - [ Rumbling ]

[ Heartbeat ]

[ Distorted Audio ] [ Maddux ] Zoe.

Zoe?

Zoe?

[ Labored Breathing ]

Zoe?

Help me.

Let's-- Let's get her out of the suit and up to the med bay.

Zoe? Zoe, we're right here, honey. We got you. You're gonna be okay.

You're gonna be okay.

[ Maddux ] All right, you got her? [ Evram ] Let's get the oxygen.

Surgeon. [ Jen On Radio ] Stay with us.

Thready pulse. Weak B.P. I'm seeing lung damage.

Severe dehydration.

Second- and third-degree burns over half of her body.

She really shouldn't be alive.

Odds of survival?

I don't know.

- Guess. - Twenty percent.

- And another one bites the dust. - Shut up!

- I'm just saying. - You shut your mouth, Arnel!

I don't want to hear one more word coming out of it! Not one! Do you understand me?

She did it. Can't you understand that?

Yes, she did.

And for those of you who can't recognize it, that was courage.

From both of them.

And that is what we aspire to.

[ Droning ] [ Breathing Heavily ]

Okay.

[ Continues ]

It's in. [ Beeps ]

Wass? Yeah.

Would you call this a miracle?

As close as I've ever seen.

[ Paula ] She saw it as a baby in her arms. Yeah.

Maybe it's some kind of shape-shifter thing.

So her memory of the miracle has a baby in it.

I see what you're sayin'. Subjective, objective.

Yeah, I think it's exactly what you said before.

That we see what we wanna see.

But it still happened.

Or it's like Zoe's phony walk on Venus,

and it's all just a fairy tale.

Cameras died. Five different shots, and none of them worked--

Where is everybody? [ Paula On TV ] Barnes will now drag her sled--

They should've been off shift an hour ago.

...then go onto the platform... Three.

that will lift her into the lander.

So far, this has been a textbook mission.

[ Evram ] Okay, we need to boost saline, dress her burns and get her into the chamber.

Jen, I need an epi patch ready in case she arrests.

Copy that.

[ Grunts ]

- You. - Hey, I only did it 'cause she asked me to.

I don't want trouble. No. No trouble. Listen.

Where can I get a tattoo so that when I'm in the locker room, nobody can see it?

Only two good places for it, and they both hurt.

[ Evram ] Gently. Gently.

Good. All right. Nadia.

Can I have the dressing, please?

** [ Acoustic Guitar ]

[ Man ] * Feel I'm on the verge *

* Of some great truth *

* Where I'm finally in my place *

* But I'm fumbling *

* Still for proof *

* And it's cluttering my space *

Congratulations, Mike. Thanks.

- Thank you. - Eve, congratulations.

[ Ted ] I cannot say that this delicious crawfish étouffée...

is normal.

It is if you're from New Orleans.

Trust me.

It's nice to cook for someone.

Well, it's really nice to be cooked for.

You know, we just-- we get so wound up in space, you know,

and things so much greater...

that, uh, sometimes we forget who we are...

and why we do all this.

I think it's important to just bring things down to size.

Home and family.

To home and family and to-- to normal.

I guess you must feel, um, pretty good,

vindicated.

Yeah. Sure.

But part of me was hoping that she would give up and bring you home.

Well, I can't say I haven't had those same thoughts, you know?

It's like we're-- we're moving away from normal.

I have this feeling...

that I'm never gonna taste your crawfish étouffée again.

[ Droning ]

Mama, I'm home.

Hector. [ Barking ]

[ Man ] Your mom isn't here, angel.

[ Voice Echoing ] She'll be home at 5:00. She'll be home at 5:00.

Hmm! All hail the conquering heroes.

Hey, I'm buying for anyone who can estimate...

exactly how much each ounce of Venus dust cost the taxpayer.

[ Laughing ]

Oh, come on. Regale me with tales of human conquest.

Ajay.

Not tonight, Trevor. Just watch the replay.

[ Paula On TV ] ...that were specially designed-- Something happen?

It was a textbook mission.

[ Trevor ] All right.

Thanks for today. You were really great.

Hey, I had the truck, after all. Oh, no.

No. This was about a lot more than a truck.

You came through for Zoe.

For me.

Yeah, that's me all right-- Mr. Steady.

Do you lie? Rarely.

Cheat?

No. It's not my nature.

A regular stand-up guy.

It's a way of life.

[ Beeping ]

Koop Memorial Hospital.

Um, yes.

I'm looking for the victim of a hit-and-run accident.

She was brought in a couple of nights ago.

Blonde woman in her 20s.

No, I don't know her name.

I was the driver.

[ Monitor Beeping ]

Flight surgeon. Private comm, channel 6.

- How's the vibe? - A little weird.

There is a sense of accomplishment, but no one's really celebrating.

- Not with Zoe in trouble. - She should be dead.

Yeah. Adrenaline does strange things.

This wasn't adrenaline.

It wasn't the object.

This was too close. The object would have done more.

Unless it's trying to test us--

push us to the edge of our capabilities.

- Why would it do that? - Why would God test Job?

Look, we have no idea what these genetic changes are...

or how they influence our bodies.

Maybe it's a helper,

a little booster to get us over the hump.

Miracles have explanations.

- You're sure about that? - I'm a scientist, not a priest.

[ Man's Voice ] Got you some ice cream.

Caramel swirl. You can have some after we play.

You're so shy today.

[ Maddux Narrating ] I don't know where it is you find courage.

There isn't a map.

[ Monitor Beeping ]

[ Buzzing ]

[ Maddux Narrating ] It kind of follows the road of emotion.

There. You got your bucket.

[ Beeping ] [ Paula On TV ] ...to pick up dirt instead of repel it.

All Zoe has to do is walk around a little...

and then step on the sled that she's been towing behind her.

[ Maddux Narrating ] Sometimes stopping your conviction and anger.

Other times parking beside fear.

Paula?

[ Man's Voice ] I wanna kiss those eyes.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Kiss those eyes.

Paula, are you okay?

[ Maddux Narrating ] Courage plays no favorites,

takes no sides.

[ Ventilator Hissing ]

It can be as impressive as a walk on Venus...

or as simple as a kiss.
