The sum total
of human knowledge. Okay?

:12:03
And of course,
we pose our problems...

:12:06
...and get our answers
on these access terminals.

:12:08
I have one in my own home.
:12:10
Alex's house is an electronic marvel,
completely run by computers.

:12:14
It's more secure than Fort Knox, Barry.
:12:21
Isn't that cute.
:12:23
Yes. It's Arabella. She's terminally ill.
:12:26
Radiation-induced leukemia
in the name of science.

:12:30
So that's what it is.
:12:31
- A protein, isn't it?
- Yeah, some sort of oddball protein.

:12:35
Cutler Institute is synthesizing it...
:12:37
...skeptically.
:12:40
We gave Proteus all the known data
on leukemia, and in 91 hours of theory...

:12:43
...without performing an experiment, it
gave us an antigen. Could cure the disease.

:12:47
- Cure? For leukemia?
- Why not? We hope so.

:12:51
Are the proper steps being taken
to patent this?

:12:54
I have no idea.
:12:57
Alex, I'd like to hear it speak.
:12:59
It speaks, doesn't it?
:13:07
"Shihuangdi...
:13:10
...the first emperor of China...
:13:12
...built a wall 3000 kilometers long...
:13:15
...to protect civilization
from the barbarians.

:13:17
The Great Wall of China.
:13:19
Then decided,
'History will begin with me.

:13:23
I will destroy the past.'
:13:26
And he ordered all the books
in his empire to be burnt."

:13:31
Burnt.
:13:51
Sorry to disturb you, Soong Yen.
:13:53
This is Mr. Royce, Mr. Mokri
and Mr. Cameron.

:13:56
- How do you do?
- Dr. Soong Yen is our linguist.
