:20:04
I hope you guys find the music.
:20:06
The way things are,
we can't even hum the tune.

:20:08
Free discussion.
Two groups...

:20:10
- I'm not comfortable with...
- Excuse me.

:20:12
Seth, Deke, the gun barrel.
Robert, Michael, pre-detonation.

:20:19
Damn it! Just, damn it!
Maybe it's the altitude.

:20:24
But we're still just chalk
on a blackboard.

:20:26
We're dead in the water.
:20:28
Maybe we cast a lighter
gun barrel, find a new alloy.

:20:32
The force would be too great.
:20:33
We gotta smack these atoms together
to trigger a chain reaction.

:20:38
We gotta concentrate the energy
and crush the mass.

:20:42
All right, let's rethink this.
:20:44
We have a gun barrel that's so heavy
we can't lift it with a plane.

:20:48
To get the explosive power we need,
it's gotta be heavy.

:20:51
Michael, come here!
:20:54
When I squeeze this...
:20:57
- ...what do I get?
- Juice.

:20:59
No. I squeeze it, I get compression.
:21:04
We get a hollow sphere
of plutonium,

:21:06
and we compress it
with an explosion that goes in.

:21:10
- An implosion.
- Chain reaction.

:21:12
Boom!
:21:15
- But, Seth, explosives go out.
- I know.

:21:18
But we make one that goes in.
:21:22
Jesus.
:21:24
- Michael.
- Let's get the boys.

:21:26
We'll meet down here in the canteen.
:21:28
It's brilliant. The device is gonna be so
light that we don't need a gun barrel!

:21:33
Got a match, soldier?
:21:47
Sir, it's Michael and Seth!
:21:52
I'm sorry to bother you.
:21:53
But Seth had an idea.
He was thinking of an orange.

:21:56
Yes, I was thinking of jumping
up and down on an orange.

:21:59
- Crushing an orange.
- Crushing!
