:29:01
Yes,
:29:02
Okay, sweetheart.
Now, have a nice birthday tomorrow.
:29:05
All right,
:29:06
And have a nice birthday party
tomorrow, too, huh?
:29:10
All right,
:29:11
Okay, now, take care and be a good girl,
won't you?
:29:14
All right, Bye-bye!
:29:15
Bye-bye! Happy birthday.
:29:32
Elena, how nice to see you again.
:29:34
What a wonderful surprise
to meet you here!
:29:36
-You're looking wonderful.
-Thank you. You're looking well, too.
:29:39
This is my good friend, Dr. Heywood Floyd.
:29:41
-I'd like you to meet Dr. Kalinan.
-How do you do?
:29:44
-Dr. Stretyneva.
-How do you do?
:29:46
And this is Dr. Andrei Smyslov.
:29:48
How do you do? I've heard a lot about you.
:29:51
Won't you sit down?
:29:53
-Well, we--
-No, no, please.
:29:55
Well, thank you.
:29:57
-Would you like a drink, Doctor?
-No, thank you.
:30:00
I haven't had breakfast yet.
Someone's meeting me in the restaurant.
:30:03
I'll just sit with you a few minutes
and then I must be off.
:30:06
-Are you quite sure?
-I'm quite sure, thank you.
:30:10
-And how's Gregor?
-He's fine.
:30:12
He's been doing some underwater research
in the Baltic so...
:30:16
...I'm afraid we don't get a chance
to see very much of each other these days.
:30:20
When you do see him,
give him my regards, huh?
:30:22
Yes, of course.
:30:24
Well, where are you all off to?
Up or down?
:30:27
Oh, we're going home.
:30:28
We have just spent three months
calibrating the new antennae at Tchalinko.
:30:33
-And what about you?
-I'm just on my way up to Clavius.
:30:36
Oh, are you?
:30:40
Dr. Floyd, I hope you don't think
I'm being too inquisitive, but...
:30:44
...perhaps you can clear up
the great big mystery...
:30:46
...about what is going on up there.
:30:50
I'm afraid I don't know what you mean.
:30:52
Oh, it's just that for the past two weeks...
:30:54
...some extremely odd things
have been happening at Clavius.
:30:58
-Oh, really?
-Yes, yes.
