Jonathan Nolan - Interstellar: Final Scene lyrics

INT. HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM - DAY Cooper enters, nervous. A nurse is there. COOPER: Is she -? NURSE: The family's all in there. COOPER: The family? NURSE: They all came along to see her -- she's been in cryo-sleep for almost two years. INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - CONTINUOUS Cooper cautiously pushes open the door. The bed is surrounded by people, grown-up children, grandchildrens, babies… They turn to look at him: some smiles, some curious looks, a small child hides behind a parent's leg… Cooper approaches, and the family parts to let him see an elderly woman, lying in the bed, frail. She looks up at Cooper. Delighted. Tears of joy. She reaches up to him… he takes her hands. COOPER: Murph. MURPH: Dad. (to the others) Please. Her voice is a frail whisper. With authority. The family shuffles out. Cooper watches them go, turns back to Murph. COOPER: You told them I like farming. Murph smiles, still mischievous. Cooper marvels at her. COOPER: Murph, it was me, I was your ghost. MURPH: I know… She lifts her wrist - the watch is there. MURPH: People didn't believe me, they thought I'd done it all myself… (taps watch) But I knew who it was… COOPER: A father looks into his child's eyes and thinks - maybe it's them - maybe my child will save the world. MURPH: And everyone, once a child, wants to look into their own dad's eyes and know he saw. But, usually, by then, the father is gone. Nobody believed me, but I knew you'd come back. COOPER: How? MURPH: Because my dad promised me. Cooper is crying now. COOPER: I'm here now. I'm here for you, Murph. Murph is shaking her head. MURPH: No parent should have to watch their child die. My kids are here for me now. Go. COOPER: Where? MURPH (it's so obvious): Brand. And the family comes back in as Cooper releases Murph's hand, stepping back to let Murph's kids and grandkids swarm over her… He watches them, their love, as if from another dimension. A man out of time. A ghost. MURPH (V.O.): She's out there… EXT. EDMUND'S DESERT PLANET - DAY Brand, in suit and helmet, stands watching Case excavate a pod, buried under a ma**ive rock fall. She is crying. MURPH (V.O.): Setting up camp… EXT. HANGAR, COOPER STATION - NIGHT Mechanic finishes looking over one of the sleek new Rangers. He packs his tools and heads out. A figure unfolds itself in the shadows - Tars. He picks his way through the shadows, unlocks the door. Cooper darts in. EXT. EDMUNDS' DESERT PLANET - DAY Brand kneels in front of a small cross. Edmunds' nameplate hangs from it. MURPH (V.O.): ...alone in a strange galaxy… She unseals her helmet - pulls it off… INT. HANGAR, COOPER STATION - NIGHT Cooper and Tars scurry down the line of sleek ships. Cooper points - Tars starts working the hatch mechanism, while Cooper keeps watch. EXT. EDMUNDS' DESERT PLANET - DAY Brand, helmet off, breathes. And breathes again. MURPH (V.O.): Maybe, right now, she's settling in for the long nap… INT. RANGER IN HANGAR, COOPER STATION - NIGHT Cooper straps into the pilot's chair, Tars beside him. The outer doors slide open. They look out at the inky blackness of space. EXT. EDMUNDS' DESERT PLANET - DUSK Brand looks at the setting sun… MURPH (V.O.): By the light of our new sun… INT. HANGAR, COOPER STATION - MORNING The Mechanic opening up, walks along the row of ships until - one is missing. EXT. EDMUNDS' DESERT PLANET - DUSK Brand turns from the dwindling light… MURPH (V.O.): In our new home. Brand heads down through the twilight towards camp. And we -- FADE OUT CREDITS END
