Typical of Victor Von Doom to build
a 30-foot statue of himself.
:01:05
Well, it's obviously aimed
at first-time visitors...
:01:08
to create feelings
of smallness, inadequacy.
:01:12
Good thing it ain't working.
:01:15
Reed, what are we doing here?
This guy's fast-food, strip-mall science.
:01:19
This wasn't our first stop,
in case you forgot.
:01:21
Besides, Victor's not that bad.
He's just a little larger than life.
:01:33
My research suggests that exposure
to a high-energy cosmic storm...
:01:37
borne on solar winds might have triggered
the evolution of early planetary life.
:01:42
In six weeks, another cloud
with the same elemental profile...
:01:47
will pass Earth's orbit.
:01:50
A study conducted in space could
fundamentally advance our knowledge...
:01:53
about the structure of the human genome,
cure countless diseases...
:01:57
extend human life, give kids a chance
to live longer, stronger, healthier...
:02:01
Turn it off, please.
:02:03
I don't think I have explained
my proposal fully.
:02:05
No, I think you have.
:02:07
Same old Reed, always stretching,
reaching for the stars...
:02:10
with the weight of the world on his back.
:02:12
But dreams don't pay the bills, do they?
:02:16
You remember, when we were in school
we talked about working together.
:02:20
Well, that's what I was about to explain.
:02:24
The storm is deadly.
:02:25
But the shields on
your station's control room...
:02:27
are designed to protect
any occupants inside.
:02:33
So it's not just my money you want.
:02:36
It's my toys.
:02:38
Tell me, if NASA doesn't trust you,
then why should I?
:02:45
That's my job, to stay a step ahead.
:02:48
To know what other men don't.
:02:51
I can't take this.
:02:53
Ben, this is business, just work.
:02:55
He's right, Ben. It is just business.
:02:58
I think you both know my Director
of Genetic Research, Susan Storm.
