WALL · E stopped and pulled out his lighter. Seeing it flicker, he sighed and remembered the good times he had shared with EVE.

A gust of wind suddenly blew out the tiny flame. WALL · E looked across the dry bay toward home. Was another sandstorm blowing in? No, it was something else: A bright glow was descending from the clouds. He heard the low rumble and instantly realized that it was the spaceship that had brought EVE. He raced toward home, terrified that the ship was coming to take her back!

“Eee-vah! Eee-vah!” WALL · E called out.

瓦力停下來，掏出了他的打火機。看着火焰閃爍，他歎口氣，想起了他和伊芙一起度過的美好時光。

突然一陣狂風吹滅了這微小的火苗。瓦力望了望位于幹涸海灣另一邊的家。又一場沙暴要襲來嗎？不，是别的東西：一團明亮的光芒從雲層中降落。他聽到了低沉的隆隆聲，立刻意識到這就是送伊芙來的那艘太空飛船。他朝家飛奔而去，十分害怕飛船是來帶她回去的。

“伊——娃！伊——娃！”瓦力喊道。
