:23:04
Would you tell me?
:23:08
Yes, l will tell you.
:23:10
l will tell you. l'll explain.
l'll explain.

:23:15
Now, you know that you can
use screens, like this...

:23:19
...to cut off light and heat.
:23:22
By the same token, you can...
:23:24
...cut off Marconi's wireless rays
with sheets of lead.

:23:28
- Nothing, till now, cuts off gravity.
- Gravity. The pull of the earth.

:23:33
- What holds us on the ground.
- Yes, that's right.

:23:37
Now, what l'm experimenting with is...
:23:40
...a sort of coating,
a metallic paste...

:23:43
...which will, in fact,
cut off the force of gravity.

:23:48
- Paste?
- Paste.

:23:49
You mean you paint it on things?
:23:52
Yes, in a way. Yes.
:23:54
- Like this chair, for example.
- You could use that chair.

:23:58
- May I?
- Please. Yes, l'll show you.

:24:07
Takes effect...
:24:09
...when...
:24:11
...it hardens.
:24:14
- That's all?
- That's all.

:24:16
l see.
:24:26
Are you...
:24:28
Are you telling me this chair
will lose its weight?

:24:31
Yes. In fact, we'll have a job
to stop it from rising.

:24:35
- Really?
- Yes.

:24:37
- Then, l'd better sit in it.
- l'd be careful...

:24:40
- About the cottage...
- It will go.

:24:42
- As l was saying, Katherine...
- Be careful!

:24:47
Gibbs, the ladder!
:24:50
This is fantastic!
:24:51
It's the most incredible thing!
:24:54
- Can't you see what this will do?
- I warned you!

:24:58
It will revolutionize
shipping, locomotion...
