:08:02
But careful analysis reveals
it's usually because you need something.
:08:05
That's crazy.
:08:07
Can you co-sign for my car?
I got the down payment together.
:08:10
There's a few cars I liked at Benson's,
and their lot stays open until 9:00.
:08:14
Hold on a second.
Hey, Jer.
:08:17
Where's my stipend
on the NASA consultation?
:08:19
- We fiinished that job three months ago.
- Working on it.
:08:22
So maybe we can get there
around 7:00?
:08:24
Dr. Gibbs, your batch is up on the
mainframe. It's some pretty wild stuff.
:08:27
- I'll be down in a minute.
- What are you working on?
:08:30
Last weekend an old student sent me
a project he's working on with QT Labs.
:08:34
You remember Earl Dopler. One of the
best students to ever pass through here.
:08:37
That freak who used to come over
and eat a lot of potato salad?
:08:40
He isn't a freak.
Eccentric, maybe.
:08:42
Anyway, the word on this project
is very hush-hush.
:08:44
Let's just say that,
hypothetically speaking...
:08:46
it were possible to accelerate
your molecular structure...
:08:49
until the rest of the world
seemed as if it were standing still.
:08:52
- Cool.
- It's called hypertime.
:08:55
Imagine being able to perform delicate
surgery between the beats of a heart.
:08:59
This technology is going to
revolutionize medicine, science, travel.
:09:03
Speaking of travel,
a car would be really nice.
:09:07
So, did you download
those consumer reports?
:09:09
I was gonna do that
before you got home, but--
:09:12
-Dad, you already blew me off last week.
-No, I was in a meeting with the dean.
:09:16
Of course that's never
happened before, right?
:09:19
I want you to do your homework on this.
Let's see those safety reports.
:09:22
- And we'll talk about it at home.
- Does that mean we can go tonight?
:09:26
It means we'll talk about it
when I get home.
:09:28
Good enough.
:09:30
Yes!
:09:32
It's very safe
and a great father-son activity.
:09:35
Dude, you made all this
just by selling junk on your computer?
:09:39
Well, one man's junk
is another man's down payment, Meeker.
:09:43
- Start thinking outside the box, man.
- What box?
:09:46
The box you're in that keeps you from
seeing that this $5-an-hour job blows.
:09:51
Dude, I ain't gonna
be here forever.
:09:54
Check it out. Bam!
:09:55
Plur 102. DJ contest tomorrow night.
I'm signed up.
