And at that moment, one of her stuffed
toys right there in the crib beside her

:25:05
bursts into smoky flame.
:25:08
Joe, she's just a little girl.
She can light fires, yes,

:25:11
but you're making her sound
like Armageddon.

:25:15
That's what it might well be.
:25:18
Suppose lighting fires
is merely the tip of the iceberg.

:25:22
I don't know what you're talking about.
:25:25
I am talking about a talent
that is directly linked

:25:27
to this child's pituitary gland,
undeveloped pituitary gland.

:25:31
What happens when she becomes
adolescent and that sleeping gland wakes

:25:36
and becomes, for 20 months, the most
powerful force in the human body?

:25:41
Suppose we have a child here
who some day is capable

:25:47
of creating a nuclear explosion
simply by the power of her will.

:25:52
- That's insane.
- Is it? Is it?

:25:57
Then allow me to progress
from insanity to utter lunacy.

:26:00
Suppose there is a little girl out there
somewhere today, this morning,

:26:05
who has within her,
lying dormant at present,

:26:11
the power some day
to crack the very planet in two,

:26:14
like a china plate in a shooting gallery.
:26:26
What if we could train this little girl?
And others as well.

:26:30
Could we have more powerful weapons?
:26:32
No! No more experiments.
:26:34
Don't force me to go above your head
because I will if I have to.

:26:38
I'll have you and this entire establishment
eliminated.

:26:48
An excitable man.
