:31:07
This is Barnes, Norman.
:31:09
Yeah, I can hear you.
:31:13
I can't explain it, but I think
we're inside an American spaceship.
:31:18
It gets better.
:31:26
What the hell is it?
:31:27
Whatever it is, it seems to be
what this bird was designed to do.
:31:31
Go out into space and gather
things like this up and bring it back.
:31:35
Yeah, but back from where?
:31:37
Don't get too excited, Ted.
:31:39
Turn this thing over,
it'll probably say "Made in Korea. "
:31:42
Somehow I doubt that.
:31:44
No doors.
:31:45
No hinges of any kind.
:31:49
I'll bet if you put a laser micrometer
on this, it'd be a perfect sphere.
:31:54
Perfect to a thousandth of an inch.
That's a message in and of itself.
:31:58
-Really?
-What do you mean?
:32:01
When Pope Benedict asked Giotto
to prove his worth as an artist. . .
:32:06
. . .Giotto drew a perfect circle. . .
:32:09
. . .freehand.
:32:11
Perfection.
It's a powerful message.
:32:14
-I know what the Zen masters would say.
-What's that?
:32:18
"This ball wants to be caught. "
:32:20
Nobody built this thing
looking into their third eye.
:32:23
They went to a lot of trouble
and they didn't do it for nothing.
:32:26
Something put this thing out there
to get picked up and brought back here.
:32:30
Have you forgotten the Trojan horse?
It could be a trap.
:32:33
Don't you think
that's a little paranoid?
:32:35
No, I'm going to put a video camera
on this thing and keep an eye on it.
:32:39
Can I ask you something
about this reflective surface?
:32:42
Yeah, it appears to be mercury,
doesn't it?
:32:44
Except mercury's liquid
at this temperature.
:32:47
That's not what I'm talking about.
:32:49
What worries me is that
it's reflecting everything but us.
:32:57
I hate to be the one non-scientist
that picks this up, guys.
