Dr. Mills.
:03:03
-This is the last time I'll warn you.
-I won't let the Klystron go above 300.
:03:07
That's what you said last time it rained,
but you turned it to 350.
:03:10
Do you know what it costs
to repair a Klystron tube?
:03:13
I know, Dr. Budlong. I'm very sorry,
but believe me it won't happen again.
:03:17
You have my word on that, and I promise.
:03:19
Don't worry. He can't go blowing up
your Klyman tube or whatever it is.
:03:23
We've got a date tonight,
happy hour at Mingles.
:03:26
Mingles. You know what that means?
:03:28
What?
:03:29
It means complimentary hors d'oeuvres.
:03:31
A veritable who's who
of secretaries and beauticians.
:03:34
It means 20th century music.
:03:37
You look like a sensible man.
You believe there's life on other planets?
:03:41
-I don't believe there's life in this room.
-Exactly.
:03:44
Your brother wants to send a radar signal
to a point in space so far away...
:03:48
...it'd take 92 years to get there
and 92 years to get back.
:03:51
Ninety-two years? Steve, we're late now.
:03:54
Indeed. There isn't anything
out there, Dr. Mills.
:03:57
We're it.
:03:59
Now don't you go above 300
or I'm revoking your funding.
:04:06
Now that Dr. Strangelove is gone, let's go.
Mingles is at high party.
:04:10
I can't tonight, Ron.
:04:13
It's raining.
:04:14
Tonight I've got another destination
in mind. I wanna go right there.
:04:19
Clouds of Magellan. It sounds like
some kind of woman's underwear.
:04:24
No, the Clouds of Magellan is
the name of our neighbouring galaxy.
:04:27
You want to send a radar signal
to the next galaxy?
:04:29
You can't get radar to the next galaxy.
:04:31
You'd have to travel faster than
the speed of light. No one can do that.
:04:35
Don't watch that, it won't change.
This is the one to watch.
:04:38
I like the Clouds of Magellan.
:04:39
We can't get there, Ron.
:04:41
But if we increase the power of
the Klystron, with lightning...
:04:44
...we may get a signal strong enough
to get out of the solar system.
:04:47
That's the theory, anyway.
:04:49
Right. Thanks.
Tell me something I don't know.
:04:55
Can't this wait? Secretaries are
like animals when it comes to free food.
:04:58
The reflectors line up for 10 days
only once every 19 months.
