He's very gentle.
Look how beautiful he is!
:27:13
l think that Solaristics
is at an impasse
:27:18
as a result of
irresponsible fantasizing.
:27:22
l'm only interested in truth,
:27:23
but you want to convince me
ofyour point of view.
:27:28
l can't draw conclusions
based on ''reasons of heart''.
:27:32
l'm not a poet.
My problem is simple:
:27:35
either end the research,
withdrawing the station from orbit
:27:39
and legalizing the crisis in
Solaristics,
:27:43
or take extreme measures,
:27:45
like bombarding the ocean
with high intensity beams.
:27:48
No, not that!
:27:50
Didn't you want to continue
the research at any price?
:27:55
And you want to destroy that which
we aren't capable of understanding?
:28:01
No, l don't advocate knowledge
at any price.
:28:06
Knowledge is only valid when
it rests on a foundation of morality.
:28:12
Man is the only agent
who renders science immoral.
:28:16
Don't forget Hiroshima.
:28:17
Then don't make science immoral!
lt's strange...
:28:25
There's nothing strange about it.
:28:29
Even you can't be sure that
:28:32
all you had seen
weren'tjust hallucinations.
:28:37
Thank you for your time. We have
nothing more to say to each other.
:28:45
- ls anything the matter?
- l'm leaving.
:28:47
Leaving?
:28:51
He is a bookkeeper, not a scientist.
:28:53
We're friends, Burton, but you
shouldn't say that about him!
:28:56
We've known each other for 20 years.
lt had to end someday, l guess.
