無劇又抄襲

昨晚在家聽電視，竟然聽到以下獨白：

病人沈韻琴，是本屆青年短篇小說比賽的冠軍。她寫了一個關於科學家的故事：他因為太沉迷工作，令婚姻面臨破裂，所以科學家發明了一部時光投影機。投影機出現了一個女人的影像。為了跟她溝通，科學家竟然搬進實驗室。自此他以為找到人生的知己，逐漸脫離現實。

科學家的同事，眼見他沉溺在這段關係上，於是去調查那個女人的背景。原來那女人在幾十年前因難產而死，而她丈夫不久也病逝了。科學家和這投影出來的女人很投緣，但那女人竟以一天十年的速度變老，很快就變成一個婆婆。科學家很迷茫，很捨不得。那女人跟她說，科學家的前生就是她丈夫，當年因為太傷心而病死了。女人勸科學家要珍惜當下，還叫他邀請太太到實驗室。當科學家的太太來到實驗室，投影機裡的婆婆拋出一個玩具球，交到太太手上，還跟他們說，真正的愛是經得起考驗的。幸福就在你手上。

上面呢段嘢，係咪同下面呢段故事好相似呢？

Two scientists create a holographic projector. One day, the device starts generating images of a human fetus. The two watch as the fetus matures into a baby, a young girl, then a full grown woman, growing at a rate of ten years a day. They find out that Nola, as she calls herself, was once a young woman who lived in the early twentieth century. They debate over whether or not Nola is a real human soul somehow integrated into their hologram generator.

Kevin, the lead scientist, begins to fall in love with this impossible creation. He begins spending more time at the lab than at home, his home life deteriorating over the few days. Nola talks with Kevin about her father and how he tried to keep her burgeoning intellectual desires from flourishing. They discuss the poetry of Yeats. During day five, an adult Nola describes her pregnancy and relives a miscarriage of losing a baby girl. The other scientist, Dan, later discovers the miscarriage was the cause of Nola's death, and that Robert, Nola's husband in real life, never forgave himself for her death; Robert died of a broken heart soon after.

As the holographic Nola ages and nears her farewell, she uses a voice modifier machine to call Kevin's wife, Carol. Posing as Kevin, Nola tells her to come pick him up. In the final conversation between Kevin and Nola, it is revealed that Kevin is a reincarnation of Robert. He brings out the Yeats book and reads a passage. As they tearfully acknowledge the passage, Nola fades away as Kevin's wife enters the lab. They have an emotional reunion. Carol is then quite surprised and delighted as a child's toy ball, as real and substantive as anything, bounces out of the holographic chamber and lands in her hands.

上述情節，乃經典科幻片集《迷離境界》(The Twilight Zone) 其中一集，題為 Her Pilgrim Soul (YouTube 上仍有得看)。無記劇集抄西片橋段，都唔係第一次啦，不過將別人整個故事橋段，當成是劇中角色創作的小說故事，大剌剌唸出來，就簡直係厚面皮指數爆燈。大概編劇認為既是西片，又是八五年的舊劇，抄了都無人知。欺香港觀眾無人也。
