A towel cart—with EVE and WALL · E hiding behind it—slowly moved across the lido deck as the ship’s announcer said, “Attention, passengers. The lido deck is now closing.” Beach umbrellas suspended over hover chairs snapped shut, and the last few passengers glided out of the pool area. They were all dressed in blue except for the two wearing red in the pool.
“Hey now, stop that!” John said, laughing as Mary splashed at him.
“Make me,” she answered playfully.
“Oh! Okay.” John giggled and splashed her back. A lifeguard-bot moved down from his tower. “No splashing! No diving!”
“Ahh! Switch off!” John yelled back, splashing the annoying robot. The lifeguard-bot short-circuited and toppled over, knocking a passenger into the pool.
“Whoa!” the man yelled as he fell into the water.
“Hang on!” Mary shouted as she and John each grabbed one of the man’s arms. “We’ve got you!” Together they managed to lift the man out of the pool and back into his chair.
The man didn’t know what to say. He, too, was unused to being without his electronic devices. He was actually looking at other human beings face to face, not over some holo-screen.
“Uh ... thank ... you?” he tried.
“You’re ... uh ... welcome,” John said, smiling.
The towel cart rolled by with WALL · E and EVE silently and carefully pushing it forward as it hid them from view. They could look up and see the Captain’s quarters and the bridge. They were close now.
WALL · E peeked out and saw a line of stewards filling the lobby that led to the bridge. He quickly reversed the towel cart into the shadows. EVE scanned the area, searching for another way up to the bridge.
The trash chute! EVE realized that the chute went straight up to the bridge! She raised her hand, motioning to WALL · E to stay. He shook his head in protest. But EVE looked at him and said, “Waaaleeee,” just as she had done when they first met. WALL · E tilted his head and sighed. Before he knew it, he found himself watching EVE zoom past the guards at superfast speed—and right up the chute.
伊芙和瓦力藏身在一輛運(yùn)毛巾的推車后面,慢慢地穿過泳池甲板。此時(shí),飛船播音員正在說:“請注意,乘客們。泳池甲板即將關(guān)閉?!睉腋≡谝巫由戏降纳碁┱陉杺愣肌芭尽钡睾狭似饋恚詈蟮膸孜怀丝鸵不桦x開了游泳池區(qū)域。他們都穿著藍(lán)色衣服,只有在游泳池里的兩個(gè)人穿著紅色衣服。
瑪麗拿水潑約翰,他大笑著說:“喂,住手!”
“休想?!彼倚χf道。
“哦!好吧?!奔s翰咯咯笑著也拿水潑她。一名救生員機(jī)器人從他的塔樓上走了下來,對他們說道:“禁止?jié)娝?!禁止跳水!?
“啊——閉嘴!”約翰大聲喝道,并用水潑這個(gè)討人厭的機(jī)器人。救生員機(jī)器人發(fā)生短路摔倒了,將一名乘客撞入了游泳池。
“哇哦!”那人大叫著摔落水中。
瑪麗喊道:“堅(jiān)持??!”她和約翰一人抓住了那人的一條胳膊。“我們拉住你了!”兩人合力將那人從水中撈起放回了他的懸浮椅中。
那人不知道該說些什么。他也不習(xí)慣沒有他的電子裝置。他現(xiàn)在是面對面真正地看著其他人,而不是通過某塊全息影像 屏幕。
“呃……謝謝……你?”他努力說道。
“不必……呃……謝?!奔s翰微笑著說。
運(yùn)毛巾的推車從一旁經(jīng)過,瓦力和伊芙藏身其后,小心地推著車悄悄向前不被人發(fā)現(xiàn)。他們抬頭可以看見船長的艙房和艦橋。他們就快到了。
瓦力探頭向外張望,看見一行乘務(wù)員機(jī)器人擠滿了通往艦橋的門廳。他迅速將推車倒回了陰影中。伊芙掃描一下這個(gè)區(qū)域,向上尋找其他能進(jìn)入艦橋的途徑。
垃圾滑槽!伊芙意識(shí)到垃圾滑槽一路向上通往艦橋!她舉手示意瓦力留下。他搖頭抗議。但是伊芙看著他,就像他們第一次見面時(shí)她說的那樣,說:“瓦——力——。”瓦力歪了歪腦袋,嘆息一聲。他還沒有反應(yīng)過來,就看見伊芙急速飛過那些護(hù)衛(wèi)們,沿著垃圾滑槽一路向上。
