Okay, sweetheart.

:25:04
All right.
:25:05
And have a nice birthday party
tomorrow too, huh?
:25:09
All right.
:25:10
Take care and be a good girI,
won't you?
:25:13
All right. Bye-bye!
:25:14
Bye-bye! Happy birthday!
:25:29
-EIena, how nice to see you again.
-Heywood, what a wonderfuI surprise!
:25:34
-You're Iooking wonderfuI.
-You're Iooking weII too.
:25:37
This is my friend,
Dr. Heywood FIoyd.
:25:39
I'd Iike you to meet Dr. KaIinan.
:25:41
Dr. Stretyneva.
:25:43
And this is Dr. Andrei SmysIov.
:25:45
How do you do?
I've heard a Iot about you.
:25:48
Do sit down.
:25:50
-WeII, we--
-No, no, pIease.
:25:52
Thank you.
:25:54
-WouId you Iike a drink, Doctor?
-No, thank you.
:25:57
I haven't had breakfast yet.
Someone's meeting me in the restaurant.
:26:00
I'II just sit with you a moment.
Then I'II be off.
:26:03
-Are you quite sure?
-Quite sure, thank you.
:26:06
-WeII, how's Gregor?
-He's fine.
:26:09
He's been doing underwater research
in the BaItic. . .
:26:12
. . .so I'm afraid we don't see
very much of each other these days.
:26:16
-When you see him, give him my regards.
-Yes, of course.
:26:20
WeII, where are you aII off to?
Up or down?
:26:23
We're going home.
:26:24
We've just spent 3 months caIibrating
the new antenna at TchaIinko.
:26:29
-What about you?
-I'm on my way to CIavius.
:26:32
Oh, are you?
:26:36
Dr. FIoyd, I hope you don't think
I'm being too inquisitive. . .
:26:39
. . .but perhaps you can cIear up the big
mystery about what is going on there.
:26:45
I'm afraid I don't know what you mean.
:26:47
For the past two weeks. . .
:26:49
. . .some eXtremeIy odd things
have been happening at CIavius.
:26:52
-Oh, reaIIy?
-Yes, yes.
:26:55
For one thing, when you phone the base,
aII you get is a recording. . .
:26:59
. . .which repeats that the phone Iines
are temporariIy out of order.
