302 years later the ship comes back with a pile of gold and a note:
"Delicious. Please send more."
Everyone likes gold. This would be a good movie!
It's a reference to Amazing Stories from the 80's (specifically the episode Thanksgiving, Season 2, 1986), starring David Carradine. In it, Carradine and his daughter discover a mysterious hole/well on their property. When they lower objects down in it, something living below fills the bucket with gold, jewels, and notes like “thanks for the food, send more”. Eventually Carradine is like, fuck sending shit down there, I'm gonna go down there myself with an AR and take all the gold.
When his daughter tries to pull him up it comes back with a bunch of gold and "Delicious. Please send more."
It was really well made for the time, I seem to recall, but I was a kid so YMMV.
