:56:04
while I manipulate.
:56:07
There.
:56:10
Something of a strain.
:56:12
Aladdin's lamp
in a physics laboratory.
:56:15
Would you gentlemen care to take
the Krell test of your intelligence?
:56:18
- Yes, very much.
- You may be disappointed, Commander.
:56:21
Suppose we start
with the good doctor.
:56:24
- What do I do?
- Just sit down there, and I'Il...
:56:28
Move forward.
:56:30
There now.
:56:32
Now, Doctor,
you can read it here.
:56:35
There's something wrong here.
:56:38
I have an IQ of 161...
:56:40
yet I don't register
a third what you did.
:56:44
Now the commander.
:57:00
It's all right, sir. A commanding
officer doesn't need brains.
:57:03
Just a good loud voice, huh?
:57:05
Do I pull this switch
to make an image?
:57:07
Stop! You'd never survive.
:57:09
Our Belerephon skipper tried it,
and it was instantly fatal to him.
:57:14
Oh, I see.
So you're immune to this too?
:57:18
In my first attempt
at creating an image here...
:57:21
my brain pattern there
was scarcely any larger than yours.
:57:25
Afterwards, I lay unconscious
for a day and a night.
:57:28
Yet you came back
for a second go at it.
:57:32
It was a question
of science, Doctor...
:57:34
but you can imagine my joy
when I discovered that the shock...
:57:38
had permanently doubled
my intellectual capacity.
:57:43
Otherwise, my researches here
would have come to nothing...
:57:47
poor as they have been.
:57:51
Recently I have turned up
some rather puzzling indications...
:57:54
that in those final days
before their annihilation...
:57:58
the Krell had been applying
their entire racial energies...
