:12:01
It's just about
the limit now.
:12:06
I gave no permission
for visitors!
:12:08
Oh, it's you, McEwen.
:12:11
Uncle Oliver,
your guests are waiting.
:12:13
If you don't come,
the goose will spoil...
:12:16
Oh, goose,
goose, goose.
:12:17
Tell him, Alec.
:12:19
This lava
is 1 in 10 million.
:12:21
I've been at it
all day.
:12:24
No pause
for lunch or tea.
:12:25
You've had three semesters
of petrology.
:12:27
From which volcano could
this lava have emerged?
:12:30
Fujiyama?
:12:31
No.
:12:32
Mt. Etna?
:12:33
Very close.
The Mediterranean.
:12:35
The Lipari Islands
near Italy.
:12:37
But their lava
is light.
:12:39
That's what
stumped me
:12:41
because inside
must be something
:12:43
the weight of the heaviest rock
in existence.
:12:45
That would be
Icelandic peridotite.
:12:47
Precisely.
:12:48
There's a piece
chipped off.
:12:50
By me.
:12:51
What's
the rock inside?
:12:53
Icelandic peridotite,
naturally.
:12:55
When I saw this,
I stopped chipping.
:12:58
There's some marks
on the surface.
:13:01
It looks like a letter
or notches.
:13:03
Three notches made
by the hand of man.
:13:07
But how could
a rock from Iceland
:13:10
possibly pop out of
a volcano across the world?
:13:15
What's your conclusion?
:13:16
Science does not
jump to conclusions.
:13:19
Science is not
a guessing game.
:13:21
We'll melt off
the crust of lava.
:13:24
Mr. Paisley.
:13:29
Add 10 cc of aqua regia.
:13:32
Not too fast now.
:13:34
I shall write to Professor
Goetaborg of Stockholm on this.
:13:38
He's the world's leading
authority on volcanoes.
:13:40
How long
will this take?
:13:43
A typically
female question.
:13:45
Melting lava takes
maybe two hours,
:13:47
maybe four hours.
:13:49
Two hours?
Four hours?
:13:51
Maybe
the whole night.
:13:52
Who cares?
:13:59
Jenny.
