# Galileo vs. the Refusal
**Fade in:**
### INT. GALILEO'S OBSERVATORY - DAY
- **Galileo**, an Italian astronomer, is staring through his telescope at the night sky.
- Suddenly, he hears a knock on the door.
**GALILEO:** *(Startled)* Who could that be?
- Galileo goes to the door and opens it.
- A man, known for his obstinacy, stands at the doorstep.
**OBSTINATE MAN:** *(Skeptical)* Galileo, what are you doing?
**GALILEO:** *(Excitedly)* I am observing the night sky, my friend. I have discovered something remarkable!
**OBSTINATE MAN:** *(Doubtful)* Remarkable? What could that possibly be?
- Galileo gestures for the man to come inside.
**GALILEO:** *(Confidently)* I have discovered that there are other planets in the sky!
**OBSTINATE MAN:** *(Unconvinced)* Other planets? I don't need to look through your telescope to know that the earth is the center of the universe and everything revolves around it!
- Galileo frowns at the man's statement.
**GALILEO:** *(Determined)* My friend, you are mistaken. The earth is not the center of the universe. Look through my telescope, and you will see for yourself.
**OBSTINATE MAN:** *(Steadfast)* I don't need to look through your telescope. I already know the truth.
**GALILEO:** *(Urging)* But how can you be so sure? Look through the telescope, and you will see the planets with your own eyes.
**OBSTINATE MAN:** *(Defensive)* I don't need to see the planets. I already know what I believe, and nothing you say or show me will change my mind.
- Galileo sighs in frustration.
**GALILEO:** *(Exasperated)* But my friend, the truth is right in front of you. The planets are there, waiting to be seen. Why won't you look?
**OBSTINATE MAN:** *(Stubborn)* I don't need to look because I know what I believe is true.
- Galileo shakes his head, defeated.
**GALILEO:** *(Resigned)* Very well, my friend. But I fear you will be missing out on something truly extraordinary.
- The obstinate man leaves, still convinced of his own beliefs and unwilling to see the evidence that Galileo had to offer.
**Fade out.**
