Stewards eject from their wall stations.

Like ATMs jumping to life.

Race in the direction of Eve.

Carelessly knock over stray passengers in their way.

Back on Bridge

Auto watches the deck plan display.

Monitors the progress of all the stewards.

The CAMERA DROPS THROUGH THE FLOOR, down to...

The Captain, still trapped.

Rams his hover chair against the locked elevator door.

Has no effect.

Back on Hallway

Dozens of them stand in a row.

Eve fires her gun.

Destroys a steward.

Another one quickly takes its place.

Traps her arm with its SUSPENSION BEAM.

She can't shoot.

The stewards advance, when suddenly...

...the Rejects charge the stewards:

...The beautician-bot (PR-T) deflects rays with her mirrors...

...The vacu-bot sneezes dust in their faces...

...The defib-bot shocks them with her paddles...

...The umbrella-bot opens up...

...Shields the others from the attack...

ALF-E Jumped And Destroys Another Steward.

A weak Wall-E activates his welding beam.

Shorts out the Massage-bot's ENERGY STRAIGHTJACKET.

It goes berserk.

Flo, Little Mac and UnNamed Robot Watches Them.

Leaps at the entire army of Stewards. Robot parts fly everywhere.

Eve and Wall-E can't watch the carnage.

He sets Eve's CYLINDRICAL DEVICE on the floor behind him.

It projects her stored memories.

PANS across the portraits of other captains...

...past our present Captain...

...The eyes in the portrait dart nervously...

- wait a minute.

The Captain lunges at him.

Grabs Auto by the steering wheel.

Hangs onto it like Cap'n Ahab in a gale.

His lower extremities of no use.

Auto panics.

Zips back up through the hole in the ceiling.

The Captain gets stuck between floors...

Auto tries to pull free.

The Captain won't let go.

Auto ends up yanking him through.

The Captain rides Auto like a bucking bronco.

Auto swings violently back and forth.

Captain:

"You're not getting away from me, one-eye! - OOF! - Is that all you got?!"

Gopher (I Meant for GO-4) drops out of his pneumatic tube.

Sees the Captain fighting Auto.

Charges at the Captain...

...who kicks him straight out the window...

Gopher plummets...

...his SHADOW growing over the POOL...

...and smashes in a heap on the cement.

He is Finally Dead.

Hallway

We PAN OVER the smoking wreckage of the stewards.

The massage-bot floats above it all.

Pants like a wild beast.

One steward still twitches.

The massage-bot crushes him with one blow.

Eve grabs Wall-E and the plant.

They take off for the Concourse Level.

M-O and the Rejects follow behind.

Then, Non-Rejects Follows Too.

Moments Later...

Floodlights kick on everywhere...

...The LIDO DECK POOLS automatically cover up...

...Stray PASSENGERS pause to take in the alarms...

...SPACE-LIFE PRESERVERS burst from their hover chairs...

...Inflate around their necks...

...GREEN LINES appear on the floors...

...SLEEPING PASSENGERS are involuntarily led out of their cabins...

...Every hover chair follows the illuminated lines...

The procedure is completely automated.

The passengers are all confused. Helpless to stop it.

The passengers glide in by the thousands.

Form concentric circles over the closed-up pools.

Fill the multi-storied balconies on all sides.

They arrive together at the Lido Deck.

Mary notices a group of toddlers scared and crying.

A NANNY-BOT tries vainly to placate them.

The BNL LOGO on the floor rotates.

A large cylindrical device rises from the stage...

...The ship's HOLO-DETECTOR.

JUMBOTRONS activate on the dome.

Show the bridge.

Everyone can see the Captain wrestling Auto.

He tries to speak to them during the fight:

Captain:

(strained; in command)

"Ladies and Gentlemen! This is your Captain speaking! We're having a slight malfunction with the Autopilot! Please remain calm!"

The passengers get caught up in the conflict. Treat it as if it were a televised fight.

Then,

Eve and Wall-E fly out of the transport tunnel.

Make a beeline for the holo-detector.

Ready and waiting for the plant...

...almost there...

And Then,

Eve and Wall-E slam into the holo-detector's side.

Wall-E drops the plant.

It tumbles off the bridge plaza.

Eve is forced to set Wall-E down.

He clings to the holo-detector.

She flies off to retrieve the plant.

The hover chairs stay locked on their lines.

Passengers all slip off their chairs.

And There's Flo,Little Mac,ALF-E And Their Friends Slipping Down From Side To Side.

And Then, Their uniform color defaults back to RED.

Slowly slide across the deck.

And for the first time...

...all of humanity reaches out to one another.

CLOSE UPS of hands holding hands.

Everyone piles up on the listing side.

The plant is buried underneath the mass of humanity.

Eve searches desperately amongst them.

Everytime It Happens.

They hang together off their chairs.

CRYING TODDLERS just above them.

The kiddies slip out of their hover rings.

Mary GASPS in horror.

Yells to John:

Mary:

"John, get ready to have some kids!"

They purposefully let go of their chairs.

Grab hands, forming a human chain.

Catch the toddlers.

All slide together down the Lido Deck.

The TODDLERS GIGGLE the whole way down.

They land at the bottom, next to Eve.

An empty monorail car tips off the upper deck...

...lands on the pool level.

It begins sliding down the Lido Deck.

Smashes vacant hover chairs in its wake.

Eve looks up.

Sees the Monorail sliding towards them.

She stops the car before it hits.

Struggles to hold it up.

Can't let it crush the passengers below her.

and That Happens!

The holo-detector begins to lower back into the floor...

Wall-E is still hanging onto it.

Barely functioning.

He uses all his strength...

...and wedges himself under the UPPER LIP of the detector.

Stops it from disappearing into the floor.

The pressure squeezes Wall-E into a box.

(As ALF-E Looked Shocked)

And Then,

The holo-detector button buzzes and flashes.

Something's wrong.

Auto calls up a LIDO DECK SECURITY CAMERA VIEW.

Discovers Wall-E wedged in the device.

Then, Auto presses down on the "off" button.

Back There.

The holo-detector's hydraulics fight against him.

Wall-E desperately fights to hold it up.

Begins slowly to expand himself...

...and push the holo-detector back up!

Back There Again.

The Captain watches Wall-E's heroic rise on screen.

Auto flips out his TASER.

Jams it into the "off" button.

Short circuits it.

Captain:

"No!"

The holo-detector reverses full force.

Crushes Wall-E.

We can't tell if he survived the crush.

Eve calls out for him.

Trapped, holding up the monorail car above the passengers.

Then, CAND-Y,SERGER-E,Flo,Little Mac,LOLLIPOP-E,Bob,AUG-E,ALF-E,CURT-O And Other Bots Are Shocked.

AUG-E Starts Crying When Buried On Flo's Shoulder.

and Back At It Again.

The Captain watches Wall-E being crushed.

That's it.

He braces his arms against the floor...

...and rises up on HIS OWN TWO FEET...

Back Again.

The passengers collectively GASP.

Their Captain is standing...

...and walking himself up the railing...

...towards Auto! They CHEER!

Went Back At It Again.

Auto whips around.

Shocked to see the Captain standing (albeit wobbly).

Finds himself face to face with him.

Auto flips out his TASER.

Rushes at him.

The Captain grabs it.

They wrestle.

The taser ARCS in the Captain's face.

He flinches. Looks up.

Sees a CONTROL PANEL high up on Auto's column...

...and smirks.

The Captain looks Auto in the eye.

Raises a finger up to the control panel...

...to the "AUTOPILOT" BUTTON...

...and flicks the switch to "MANUAL".

Captain:

"Auto, you are relieved of duty."

Auto:

"Noo!"

Auto is instantly turned off.

The Captain smiles triumphantly.

Grabs the wheel with both hands.

Makes the ship level again.

The passengers all spill across the deck.

Shaken but OK.

Eve sets the monorail down.

Rockets over to the holo-detector.

Wall-E is pinned under the lip of the holo-detector.

Eve tries to lift it up.

It won't budge.

She looks back to the crowd.

EVE:

"Plant! Plant!"

There's on M-O.

He searches the crowd for the plant.

Humans begin to stand for the first time all around him.

Through his POV he spots the plant mixed in among them.

"FOREIGN CONTAMINANT" flashes on his display screen.

On EVE.

She fights to keep the machine from crushing Wall-E further.

M-O holds the plant up from across the Lido Deck.

The vacu-bot shoots it into the hands of a passenger.

Humans and robots form an impromptu fire line.

Toss it up to Eve on stage.

She shoves the plant into the device.

The detector instantly scans the plant.

Slowly, the holo-detector rises...

Wall-E topples out from underneath.

Badly crushed and leaking oil.

Eve GASPS in horror.

M-O and the Rejects avert their eyes.

Passengers recoil as well.

So as Non-Rejects.

It converts into a GIANT STAR CHART.

Rapidly plots a course for Earth.

Richard Dennis Alvin:

"10 Seconds To Hyperjump"

Guess What When CAND-Y Has Rushed Her Face.

Her Sad Impression Appears.

CAND-Y:

"Why Did My Brother Get Crushed?!"

Then, Eve lifts Wall-E up.

No sign of life.

EVE:

"No! WALL-E!"

CAND-Y:

"Honey, What's Gonna Happen To You?"

M-O's head drops in despair.

ALF-E and Friends are Saddened.

The passengers witness grief for the first time.

Begin to have new feelings of their own: sadness, sympathy.

Mary begins to cry.

Buries her head in John's shoulder.

Mary:

"Oh No! WALL-E!"

Richard Dennis Alvin:

"Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, zero."
