You know the Very Large Array
in New Mexico?
:25:02
It's a dynamite place to do SETI work--
:25:04
What are you talking about?
:25:09
Drumlin pulled the plug.
:25:11
We're homeless.
:25:26
It's true, you pulled the plug?
:25:27
You can't see it now,
but I'm doing you a favor.
:25:30
You're too promising a scientist
to waste your gifts on this nonsense.
:25:34
I don't consider what could be...
:25:36
...the most important
human discovery nonsense!
:25:39
400 billion stars--
:25:41
And two probabilities.
One, there's intelligent life...
:25:44
...but too far away
to contact in your lifetime.
:25:47
- And two!
- You're making a decision--
:25:49
There's nothing but gases and carbon
compounds and you're wasting your time!
:25:53
In the meantime,
you won't be taken seriously.
:25:56
Your career will be over!
:25:58
So what?
:26:00
It's my life!
:26:37
Hey, Kent.
You were right.
:26:40
Screw Drumlin. We'll raise the money
ourselves. We'll go to New Mexico.
:26:44
Chicago's set.
Let me know how it goes.
:26:46
I've got more corporate stops
on the East Coast for you.
:26:49
Did that investor from Houston
ever get back to us?
:26:52
I'll hit him up on my way to L.A.
:26:55
Beg for some of that Hollywood money!
:26:57
They've been making
money off aliens for years.
