Don't be s — suspicious.
1:07:08
I know people think me
unnecessarily secretive.

1:07:12
If I were you,
I'd be secretive.

1:07:19
Would you be
comfortable in here?

1:07:23
I think I'd last about 20 minutes.
1:07:26
And then?
1:07:28
I'd start screaming.
Wouldn't everyone?

1:07:31
Last night, I was watching television.
I saw these, uh, ex-astronauts.

1:07:35
Some of them are
basket cases now.

1:07:38
Television.
1:07:40
The strange thing about
television is that it...

1:07:43
doesn't tell you everything.
1:07:46
It shows you everything about life on Earth...
1:07:48
but the true mysteries remain.
1:07:50
Perhaps it's in
the nature of television.

1:07:54
Just waves in space.
1:07:56
Do you trust me, Dr. Bryce?
1:07:59
I think so.
1:08:02
- That's not good enough.
- It's the best I can do.

1:08:05
Let's put it this way.
Uh, I want to.

1:08:08
You see, Mr. Newton, I'm kind of a cliché.
I'm the disillusioned scientist.

1:08:12
That goes with the cynical writer,
the alcoholic actor and the spaced-out spaceman.

1:08:16
A man like you wouldn't
understand a guy like me.

1:08:20
I'll try to, Dr. Bryce.
1:08:22
Well, anyhow, uh...
1:08:25
"Per ardua ad astra."
1:08:28
I beg your pardon?
1:08:30
That's Latin.
1:08:33
Latin?
1:08:35
You must know that in England.
1:08:37
- Royal Air Force— their motto.
- Yes.

1:08:42
"Per ardua... ad astra."
1:08:45
"Through difficulties, to the stars."
1:08:55
It's very hot today.
1:08:57
I appreciate your coming all this way to see me.
