:39:06
Oh, come in. The professor's in his study.
:39:09
Thank you.
:39:19
This is the man you wanted to see, Professor.
:39:21
- Thank you, Captain.
- I'll wait outside.
:39:26
- You wrote this?
- It was a clumsy way to introduce myself.
:39:30
But I understand you're
a difficult man to see.
:39:33
- I thought you'd have the solution by now.
- Not yet. That's why I wanted to see you.
:39:38
All you have to do now is to substitute
this expression at this point.
:39:41
That will reproduce the first-order term.
But what about the effect of the other terms?
:39:46
Almost negligible. With variation
of parameters, this is the answer.
:39:50
How can you be so sure?
Have you tested this theory?
:39:54
I find it works well enough
to get me from one planet to another.
:40:01
I am Klaatu.
:40:04
I spent two days at your
Walter Reed Hospital, room 309.
:40:09
My doctor's name was Major White.
:40:13
If youre not interested or if you
intend to turn me over to your army,
:40:16
we needn't waste any more time.
:40:28
You may go now, Captain.
Please thank General Cutler,
:40:31
and tell him...
tell him that I know this gentleman.
:40:37
You have faith.
:40:38
It isn't faith that makes good science,
Mr. Klaatu. It's curiosity.
:40:43
Sit down, please.
:40:45
There are several thousand questions
I'd like to ask you.
:40:50
- I'd like to explain something of my
mission. - That was my first question.
:40:54
We know from observation that your planet
has discovered a rudimentary atomic energy.
