: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.
:41:00
- And that you're experimenting
with rockets. - Yes, that is true.
:41:05
While you were limited to fighting among
yourselves with primitive tanks and aircraft,
:41:10
we were unconcerned.
:41:12
But soon one of your nations
will apply atomic energy to spaceships.
:41:16
That will create a threat
to the peace and security of other planets.
:41:21
That, of course, we cannot tolerate.
:41:23
What exactly is the nature
of your mission, Mr. Klaatu?
:41:26
I came here to warn you
that by threatening danger,
:41:30
your planet faces danger, very grave danger.
:41:34
- I'm prepared, however, to offer a solution.
- Would you care to be more specific?
:41:38
What I have to say
must be said to all concerned.
:41:42
It is too important
to be entrusted to any individual.
:41:51
I gather that your efforts on
the official level were not successful.
:41:55
I come to you as a last resort,
and I confess my patience is wearing thin.
