:01:01
- A weapon?
- Well, it's too small for interplanetary travel.
:01:06
You assume that it's a weapon?
:01:08
- Does that matter to you?
- Yeah.
:01:10
If I thought that you were
building a weapon...
:01:13
you were employing me to help you,
I'd have to quit the project.
:01:18
Don't be s suspicious.
:01:24
I know people think me
unnecessarily secretive.
:01:28
If I were you,
I'd be secretive.
:01:35
Would you be
comfortable in here?
:01:39
I think I'd last about 20 minutes.
:01:42
And then?
:01:44
I'd start screaming.
Wouldn't everyone?
:01:48
Last night, I was watching television.
I saw these, uh, ex-astronauts.
:01:51
Some of them are
basket cases now.
:01:54
Television.
:01:56
The strange thing about
television is that it...
:01:59
doesn't tell you everything.
:02:02
It shows you everything about life on Earth...
:02:05
but the true mysteries remain.
:02:07
Perhaps it's in
the nature of television.
:02:10
Just waves in space.
:02:13
Do you trust me, Dr. Bryce?
:02:15
I think so.
:02:18
- That's not good enough.
- It's the best I can do.
:02:22
Let's put it this way.
Uh, I want to.
:02:25
You see, Mr. Newton, I'm kind of a cliché.
I'm the disillusioned scientist.
:02:29
That goes with the cynical writer,
the alcoholic actor and the spaced-out spaceman.
:02:33
A man like you wouldn't
understand a guy like me.
:02:37
I'll try to, Dr. Bryce.
:02:39
Well, anyhow, uh...
:02:41
"Per ardua ad astra."
:02:45
I beg your pardon?
:02:47
That's Latin.
:02:49
Latin?
:02:52
You must know that in England.
:02:54
- Royal Air Force their motto.
- Yes.
:02:58
"Per ardua... ad astra."
