The people who are coming to
the meeting tonight, have they arrived?
1:01:06
Yes. I talked to them on the phone.
They're all very curious about the meeting.
1:01:10
Good. Did you speak to
our friend Mr. Carpenter?
1:01:13
He'll be there at 8.30.
1:01:16
Tell me, Hilda, does all this frighten you?
Does it make you feel insecure?
1:01:21
- Yes, sir. It certainly does.
- That's good, Hilda.
1:01:25
I'm glad.
1:01:28
As far as we can tell, power's been cut off
everywhere, with a few exceptions.
1:01:32
And even these exceptions are remarkable -
hospitals, planes in flight, that sort of thing.
1:01:37
I wish I could tell you more but,
as you know, all communications are out -
1:01:41
telephones, radio, cable, everything.
1:01:47
I can tell you the president is prepared
to declare a state of national emergency.
1:01:59
- Eleanor, did you call the electrician?
- I tried, but the phone doesn't work either.
1:02:04
- Well, call the phone company.
- But the phone doesn't work!
1:02:11
- Is it worth anything? - I have never
seen such a stone in all my life.
1:02:14
- Will you tell me where it came from?
- That's what I want you to tell me.
1:02:18
But there are no diamonds like this
anyplace in the world that I know of.
1:02:22
- Are you sure of that?
- Uh, would you like to sell it?
1:02:25
No. No, thanks.
1:02:28
- I'd give you a very good price.
- Thank you, no.
1:02:33
I've told you more than I told Barnhardt
because, in a sense, my life is in your hands.
1:02:38
I thought if you knew the facts, you'd see
the importance of the meeting tonight.
1:02:44
Of course. Of course I do.
1:02:48
- You hold great hope for this meeting.
- I can see no other hope for your planet.
1:02:52
If this meeting should fail,
then I'm afraid there is no hope.
1:02:57
It must be 12.30.
