Inside the Captains quarters, a chubby1 hand moved a toy starship toward a holo-graphic globe. Prepare for landing, the Captain said, inching the small model of the Axiom closer to the globe.
Were here, everybody! he announced to his pretend passengers. He walked his fingers over the globe and said in a high voice, Yay, Captain! Its so beautiful!
No, its nothing, he said, lowering his voice again. I was pleased to do it. Its all about you people!
A strange rattling2 interrupted his make-believe landing. The Captain turned away from the globe to see EVE rising from the trash chute.
EVE hovered3 in front of him, and to his complete surprise, she opened her panel doors.
The plant! the Captain exclaimed. How did you ever find it?
EVE floated toward him and saluted4. She presented him with the plant. He gazed at it in absolute wonder. We can go home now! he gasped5. He looked at the holo-graphic globe. Whats it like now? he asked EVE anxiously. No, no, dont tell me, he said as he activated6 her memory chip, causing images from her mission to Earth to flash onto his screen.
The Captain squinted7 as the screen jumped from one scene to another. He watched EVEs journey through her eyesall the things she had seen and recorded during her time on Earth.
But soon the Captains happy anticipation8 evaporated. His brow furrowed9 as he saw images of Earths terrible condition. These pictures were nothing like the ones hed seen earlier on his computer. He began to worry. Earth was clearly too polluted. He couldnt guide his ship home to that mess. People would not be able to live there.
He looked down at the plant. A single leaf dropped. But waitthe Captain knew what to do. He had learned this from the computer. He would water the plant.
And as he turned to do so, he heard WALL Es favorite song playing. EVE had recorded Hello, Dolly! when WALL E had shown the video to her back on Earth.
Hey, I remember that song! the Captain said. And somehow it inspired him.
He looked at the plant. If this little guy could grow on Earth, then his passengers could grow and thrive there, too. By golly, they could even help clean up the planet and get rid of the pollution!
EVE continued to watch as her recording10 device kept playing back Hello, Dolly! She saw how WALL Es favorite characters intertwined their hands. She looked down at her own hands and interlocked them. Suddenly, she understood what WALL E had been trying to do. He had wanted to hold hands ... just like the romantic couple in his movie.
Then EVE found herself watching images of the time on Earth when she had been dormant11. She saw things she hadnt known about until nowimages of WALL E caring for her as she slept: WALL E shielding her from the rain with his umbrella; WALL E buried in a sandstorm, trying to protect her; WALL E keeping watch day and night while she was shut down. She even saw him trying to jump-start her heart with his own.
WALL E, EVE said to herself, touched by the robots selfless devotion. Finally, she realized that WALL E loved her!
在船长的舱房里,一只圆胖的手举着一艘玩具星际飞船挨近一个全息影像地球仪。筹备降落。船长边说边将功理号的小模型一寸寸地挪近地球仪。
各位,大家到了!他向他想象中的乘客们宣布道。他的手指在地球仪表面走了几步,然后他提升嗓门说道:,船长!干得真漂亮!
不,没什么,他又减少嗓音说道,我非常高兴做这类。都是为大伙服务!
奇怪的咔嗒声打断了他想象中的着陆。船长把视线从地球仪上移开,看见伊芙从垃圾滑槽里升了上来。
伊芙悬停在他面前,让他大为吃惊的是她打开了她胸前面板上的门。
那株植物!船长惊叫道,你是如何找到它的?
伊芙向他飘近,敬了个礼。她把那株植物交给他。他盯着它,惊叹不已。目前大家可以回家了!他喘了口气说道。他看着全息影像地球仪。它目前什么样?他急切地问伊芙,不,不,不需要告诉我。他边说边激活伊芙的记忆芯片,使她去地球实行指令时记录的各种影像浮目前了他的屏幕上。
在屏幕上的场景不断切换时,船长眯起了双眼。他通过伊芙的双眼看了她的地球之旅所有她在地球期间看见并记录下来的东西。
但船长的漂亮期望非常快便化为乌有。他看见了地球上糟糕的情况,眉头紧锁。这类照片和他之前在电脑上看见的完全不同。他开始担忧。非常明显地球的污染很紧急。他不可以驾驶他的飞船回到那一堆垃圾中。人类将没办法在那里生活。
他低头看着那株植物。有一片叶子脱落了下来。但,等等船长了解该如何做了。他从电脑上掌握了这个。他要给这株植物浇水。
他转身去浇水的时候,听到瓦力最喜欢的那首歌响起了。瓦力在地球上给伊芙看《你好,多莉!》的时候,她把它录下来了。
嘿,我记得那首歌!船长说。不知怎的,这首歌激励了他。
他看着那株植物。假如这个小东西可以在地球上成长,那样他的乘客们也能在那里茁壮成长、如火如荼。天哪,他们甚至还可以帮着清洗那个星球,消灭污染!
伊芙的录像装置继续播放《你好,多莉!》时,她一直在看着。她看见瓦力最喜欢的演员们怎么样紧握着他们的手。她低头看着我们的手,把它们交握在一块。忽然,她了解了瓦力一直努力想要做的事。他想要握她的手就像他的电影中的那对浪漫男女朋友一样。
然后伊芙发现自己正在观看的是她在地球上休眠时的景象。她看见了她一直以来都不了解的事情她休眠时瓦力照顾她的景象:瓦力用他的伞给她遮雨;瓦力尽力保护她,自己却被埋在沙暴中;她电源关闭时瓦力夜以继日地照看她。她甚至看见他试图用引线将她的电子心脏和他一个人的跨接来启动它。
伊芙被瓦力的无私奉献所感动,她自言自语道:瓦力。终于,她意识到瓦力爱她!
