:18:02
Of course not.
:18:05
Thanks.
:18:16
You look as bad as I feel.
:18:18
Let's not do this again sometime soon.
:18:26
Paul.
:18:28
Don't ask.
:18:32
People keep forgetting
how cold it is up there.

:18:34
It's hard to think straight
when it's that cold.

:18:37
Let's talk about the nuke problem.
:18:40
How'd you know about that?
:18:42
First of all, I would not
characterize it a "nuke problem."

:18:45
All I know is LEM's got
a nuclear reactor on board.

:18:49
Technically, but it's got less
than eight pounds of plutonium.

:18:54
It's the battery
for the lunar surface experiments.

:18:57
- But instead of leaving it on the moon...
- It's flying home to mama.

:19:00
The boys at the Atomic Energy Commission
are about to go ape shit.

:19:03
Is that what you're saying?
:19:05
Apparently, the AEC doesn't think
it makes for good public relations...

:19:08
to bring home radioactive material.
:19:10
Look, this battery is encased
to survive a collision...

:19:15
or explosion
without contaminating anything.

:19:17
As long as it doesn't
bonk somebody on the head.

:19:22
Are you gonna quote me?
:19:24
For Christ's sake, give me
a little credit. What's the plan?

:19:29
The plan is to throw a wrinkle
into a mission...

:19:31
that's already got 11,000
too many wrinkles in it.

:19:34
It's like: Forget about the astronauts,
we got politics to worry about.

:19:38
What I'm asking you is:
What do they want you to do about it?

:19:41
We're floating an idea to adjust the
trajectory so we can dump the sucker...

:19:44
in the deepest trench
in the Pacific.

:19:46
If we don't have enough
to worry about already.

:19:49
Emmett says
he has a major break.

:19:51
Something about nuclear radiation
and a trench and the LEM.

:19:53
- He thinks New York should cut in.
- Your call.
