:15:00
Only when we open the box
and observe the cat...
:15:03
does he materialize into reality,
either dead or alive.
:15:06
But it doesn't make sense. That
is the entire, complete point.
:15:09
It doesn't make
any common sense.
:15:11
Our common sense breaks down
on a subatomic level.
:15:13
Why do I want a Ph. D in this?
:15:16
Particle beam weapons,
research grants.
:15:18
A millionaire when I'm 40.
Now I remember.
:15:25
You're really gonna like this.
Class canceled?
:15:27
"Will the following students
please see Professor Birack. "
:15:30
Shit, there I am.
Me too.
:15:31
All of us. And we heard Birack wants
us to cancel our plans for the weekend.
:15:34
What? That's not all. A couple of
biochemistry's finest are coming with us.
:15:38
And someone to translate Latin.
Coming with us where?
:15:40
I'm gonna have to pull some strings here. This is just
not gonna happen. I have serious plans for the weekend.
:15:43
4:00, Walter, Birack's office. Oh, I gotta
ditch Pagels again. He's not gonna like it.
:15:47
Sleep with him.
Get an "A."
:15:49
So what about your plans?
I was gonna study, actually.
:15:53
Me too.
I'm Brian Marsh, by the way,
:15:55
since we're spending
the weekend together.
:15:57
I know.
Catherine Danforth.
:16:00
I know.
:16:04
So where did you
transfer from?
:16:06
Kneale.
Theoretical physics.
:16:08
I came here to study with Birack.
You're applied physics, right?
:16:12
So why are you taking
Birack for theory?
:16:14
I wanna know
what the math means.
:16:16
Birack's ruthless.
He wants philosophers, not scientists.
:16:19
Well, I've read his books.
He's a brilliant man.
:16:22
Just when I think I've got it,
visualized it, it just all goes away.
:16:27
I start seeing
old-fashioned classical reality again.
:16:30
I want the clock put back.
I wanna put it all into a little box.
:16:33
But whenever I try,
it just, uh, slithers out.
:16:38
Some things aren't changed
by quantum physics though.
:16:41
Such as?
Well, for instance,
:16:44
every theoretical physicist
I know wonders why it is...
:16:49
that no one who looks like you...
:16:51
ever seems to settle down
in our end of the building.
:16:56
That's not true, and that's
an extremely sexist thing to say.
:16:59
Confirmed sexist,
and proud of it.
