00:00:11,500 --> 00:00:13,500
(tapping in distance)

00:00:21,370 --> 00:00:24,340
(indistinct whispering)
3
00:00:24,380 --> 00:00:27,650
BOY:
4
00:00:24,380 --> 00:00:27,650
If your heels
are nimble and light,
5
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,520
you may get there
by candlelight.
6
00:00:31,550 --> 00:00:33,180
(indistinct whispering
continues)
7
00:00:33,220 --> 00:00:36,290
How many miles to Babylon?
8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,790
Three score and ten.
9
00:00:39,820 --> 00:00:42,330
Can I get there by candlelight?
10
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,160
Yes, and back again.
11
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,200
(creaking)
12
00:00:49,230 --> 00:00:52,170
If your heels
are nimble and light,
13
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,570
you may get there
by candlelight.
14
00:00:54,610 --> 00:00:57,440
How many miles to Babylon?
15
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,240
Three score and ten.
16
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,280
Can I get there by candlelight?
17
00:01:03,310 --> 00:01:05,480
Yes, and back again.
18
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,190
If your heels
are nimble and light,
19
00:01:09,220 --> 00:01:13,190
you may get there
by candlelight.
20
00:01:13,220 --> 00:01:15,960
How many miles to Babylon?
21
00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:17,860
Three score and ten.
22
00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:20,260
Can I get there by candlelight?
23
00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:22,630
Yes, and back again.
24
00:01:22,670 --> 00:01:25,670
How many miles to Babylon?
25
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:27,570
Three score and ten.
26
00:01:27,610 --> 00:01:29,610
Can I get there by candlelight?
27
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,180
Yes, and back again.
28
00:01:38,620 --> 00:01:40,250
SUSAN (distorted):
Jack?
29
00:01:41,950 --> 00:01:43,920
What are you doing up?
30
00:01:43,950 --> 00:01:47,320
Look, there's a...
31
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,430
You must've been
having a dream.
32
00:01:49,460 --> 00:01:51,830
It's no wonder
you're stirred up.
33
00:01:51,860 --> 00:01:54,400
I wasn't able to sleep, myself.
34
00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:00,440
JACK:
Out of sight, out of mind.
35
00:02:04,340 --> 00:02:06,710
We should try
and get some sleep.
36
00:02:06,740 --> 00:02:09,450
It's gonna be
a big day tomorrow.

Sorry, I couldn't

All my promises are
about to come true.
54
00:04:35,630 --> 00:04:38,500
No more worrying
about the mortgage,
55
00:04:38,530 --> 00:04:42,000
no more having to
work for that S.O.B.
56
00:04:43,900 --> 00:04:45,800
Let's see what they offer you
before we start
57
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:47,840
counting any chickens.
58
00:04:54,010 --> 00:04:57,720
Jack, go on,
before you're late.
59
00:04:57,750 --> 00:04:59,750
(laughs softly)
60
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,620
Maybe we'll celebrate our
next anniversary on the moon.
61
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,810
(engine sputtering, stops)
62
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,440
(sputtering continues)
63
00:05:28,810 --> 00:05:31,620
Come on. Shit.
64
00:05:36,750 --> 00:05:38,190
What time is it?
65
00:05:38,220 --> 00:05:39,160
Sorry?
66
00:05:39,190 --> 00:05:40,190
What time?
67
00:05:43,630 --> 00:05:46,600
He should be here
any minute, sir.
68
00:05:46,630 --> 00:05:48,900
Excuse me, would either
of you like a refill?
69
00:05:48,930 --> 00:05:51,870
This is second cup, Alice.
70
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:54,810
If he's much longer,
I will burst.
71
00:05:56,010 --> 00:05:57,510
Sorry.
72
00:05:57,540 --> 00:05:58,910
(panting)
73
00:05:58,940 --> 00:06:00,940
Hey! Off the lawn!
74
00:06:03,050 --> 00:06:05,080
I'd just like to thank you,
again, Professor,
75
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,620
for agreeing
to sponsor our project.
76
00:06:06,650 --> 00:06:09,250
I'm already starting
to regret it.
77
00:06:09,290 --> 00:06:10,820
(door opens)
78
00:06:12,020 --> 00:06:13,690
Sorry.
79
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:14,990
Sorry. I'm here.
80
00:06:15,030 --> 00:06:16,090
I have seminar starting.
81
00:06:16,130 --> 00:06:17,660
We need to be fast.
82
00:06:17,690 --> 00:06:19,830
The professor's taking us
to see our new lab.
83
00:06:19,860 --> 00:06:20,900
Lead the way.
84
00:06:20,930 --> 00:06:22,630
Thanks for starting without me.
85
00:06:22,670 --> 00:06:23,830
What was I supposed to do?
86
00:06:23,870 --> 00:06:25,570
We had no idea when
you were coming.
87
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,140
It's not my fault,
my truck wouldn't start.
88
00:06:27,170 --> 00:06:28,870
You think I'd be late
89
00:06:27,170 --> 00:06:28,870
today?
90
00:06:28,910 --> 00:06:30,110
Hey.
91
00:06:30,140 --> 00:06:32,540
Smile, Rich, we made it.
92
00:06:32,580 --> 00:06:36,850
You will be working here,
under my guidance.
93
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,750
As I told Richard,
before you made grand entrance,
94
00:06:41,790 --> 00:06:45,860
you need to figure out
the basic science of your work.
95
00:06:45,890 --> 00:06:49,560
Even Wright brothers
tested over 50 models
96
00:06:49,590 --> 00:06:51,900
to establish
new lift coefficient
97
00:06:51,930 --> 00:06:54,930
before they make
plane that can fly.
98
00:06:54,970 --> 00:06:57,030
Well, we're gonna
make their plane
99
00:06:57,070 --> 00:06:58,740
look like a horse-drawn buggy.
100
00:06:58,770 --> 00:07:03,970
What I mean is, uh, I expect
the same theoretical rigor
101
00:07:04,010 --> 00:07:06,010
from you two.
102
00:07:08,180 --> 00:07:10,010
Here we are.
103
00:07:10,050 --> 00:07:13,680
Home of Caltech's
first ever rocketry team.
104
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,190
Let us hope
it is not also the last.
105
00:07:22,190 --> 00:07:25,100
Fantastic.
106
00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:30,100
So this is the room
you're giving us?
107
00:07:30,130 --> 00:07:32,100
Once you clear out, of course.
108
00:07:32,140 --> 00:07:33,900
Richard?
109
00:07:35,110 --> 00:07:37,310
What about the rest of it?
110
00:07:37,340 --> 00:07:39,310
My partner said
sponsored projects
111
00:07:39,340 --> 00:07:41,810
get all the resources
they need from the university.
112
00:07:41,850 --> 00:07:43,810
Normally, that is the case,
113
00:07:43,850 --> 00:07:45,820
but yours is far
from normal project.
114
00:07:45,850 --> 00:07:46,980
(chuckles)
115
00:07:47,020 --> 00:07:49,990
You were able to produce
116
00:07:50,020 --> 00:07:54,760
a-an impressive amount
of thrust in the desert.
117
00:07:54,790 --> 00:07:57,060
I'm giving opportunity to prove
118
00:07:57,090 --> 00:07:59,030
this was
not a fluke.
119
00:07:59,060 --> 00:08:00,900
That was no fluke.
120
00:08:00,930 --> 00:08:02,030
It was a breakthrough.
121
00:08:02,070 --> 00:08:04,900
Maybe. But question is, uh,
122
00:08:04,940 --> 00:08:09,070
can you repeat result
without killing anybody?
123
00:08:09,110 --> 00:08:11,710
Design a rocket motor
that can sustain
124
00:08:11,740 --> 00:08:16,080
200 pounds of thrust
for at least a minute,
125
00:08:16,110 --> 00:08:20,620
then we can talk about
additional resources.
126
00:08:20,650 --> 00:08:23,790
How are we gonna build
anything without any money?
127
00:08:23,820 --> 00:08:27,090
He said "design,"
not "build."
128
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,960
(laughing): This is why
he gets perfect marks.
129
00:08:29,990 --> 00:08:32,960
Yes, Richard, there will be
130
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:38,000
no tests on campus without my
approval of a written proposal.
131
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,000
From humble beginnings,
132
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,040
I expect great things.
133
00:08:48,010 --> 00:08:50,010
Welcome to Caltech.
134
00:08:57,350 --> 00:08:59,860
What do you think this does?
135
00:08:59,890 --> 00:09:01,960
No idea.
136
00:09:01,990 --> 00:09:04,930
We should probably hold
onto it, just in case.
137
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,900
We're supposed to be
clearing the space out,
138
00:09:06,930 --> 00:09:09,170
not adding
to your personal collection.
139
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,870
Whoa, look at this
old accelerometer.
140
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:14,440
It's probably broken.
141
00:09:14,470 --> 00:09:16,270
Besides, we're not gonna be
measuring acceleration
142
00:09:16,310 --> 00:09:17,710
anytime soon.
143
00:09:17,740 --> 00:09:19,140
Of course we will.
144
00:09:19,180 --> 00:09:21,180
(sighs)
Were you listening?
145
00:09:21,210 --> 00:09:22,910
We have to solve
for the basic science
146
00:09:22,950 --> 00:09:24,180
before
we launch anything.
147
00:09:24,210 --> 00:09:26,380
Just because we're
at Caltech now
148
00:09:26,420 --> 00:09:27,780
doesn't mean we have
to completely change
149
00:09:27,820 --> 00:09:29,820
the way we work.
150
00:09:34,220 --> 00:09:37,790
Listen, I know that explosion
might've spooked you a little.
151
00:09:37,830 --> 00:09:39,800
No, what-what spooks me
152
00:09:39,830 --> 00:09:42,800
is that it doesn't seem
to have spooked you at all.
153
00:09:42,830 --> 00:09:44,840
Well, we can either
dwell on the past,
154
00:09:44,870 --> 00:09:46,340
or we can start
writing the proposal
155
00:09:46,370 --> 00:09:49,440
for our next test rocket.
156
00:09:49,470 --> 00:09:51,880
The sooner we do that, the
sooner we get it built.
157
00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:54,380
The sooner we get it built,
the sooner we get funding.
158
00:09:54,410 --> 00:09:56,380
No, Jack, we're not here
to build rockets.
159
00:09:56,410 --> 00:09:58,380
We're here to build
rocket science.
160
00:09:58,420 --> 00:09:59,750
What's the difference?
161
00:09:59,780 --> 00:10:00,750
The difference...
(sighs)
162
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,320
Look, I don't think
that we can do this alone.
163
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,960
I think we should fill out
our team and find people
164
00:10:09,990 --> 00:10:12,800
who have an expertise
that neither of us possess.
165
00:10:12,830 --> 00:10:17,130
Fluid dynamics, physics,
applied mathematics.
166
00:10:17,170 --> 00:10:20,100
You don't think we're capable
of figuring that stuff out?
167
00:10:20,140 --> 00:10:21,940
No, I don't.
168
00:10:21,970 --> 00:10:25,510
We have access to some of the
brightest minds on Earth, now.
169
00:10:25,540 --> 00:10:27,280
Why wouldn't
we take advantage of that?
170
00:10:27,310 --> 00:10:28,850
Because we got this far
on our own.
171
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,180
You remember
what von Braun
172
00:10:30,210 --> 00:10:32,080
wrote to me in his letter?
173
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,280
He has, he has 20 people
working under him.
174
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,090
It's just how things
are done here, Jack.
175
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,260
What we're doing wasn't done
here at all until today.
176
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,430
I got to get back to work.
177
00:10:43,460 --> 00:10:45,760
My "doctor's appointment" was
supposed to be over an hour ago.
178
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,070
So we're agreed, then, yes?
179
00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:49,230
Sure.
180
00:10:49,270 --> 00:10:51,370
Whatever you say.
181
00:11:03,380 --> 00:11:05,120
HUMPHREY:
Parsons.
182
00:11:05,150 --> 00:11:07,850
Don't care if you're sick,
you're on the clock.
183
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,850
Plenty of other guys
be happy for the work
184
00:11:09,890 --> 00:11:12,220
if you don't want it.
185
00:11:34,850 --> 00:11:36,180
Hey.
186
00:11:36,210 --> 00:11:39,180
Ah, I'm just about done here.
187
00:11:39,220 --> 00:11:42,550
Just need
that magic ingredient.
188
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,220
The key, see if she starts.
189
00:11:47,260 --> 00:11:49,260
You fixed my truck?
190
00:11:49,290 --> 00:11:51,160
That was the idea.
191
00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:52,900
Come on, get in.
192
00:11:52,930 --> 00:11:54,930
See if she goes.
193
00:12:15,590 --> 00:12:18,390
(engine starts, revs)
194
00:12:20,020 --> 00:12:22,590
(laughs)
195
00:12:22,630 --> 00:12:24,190
Really gun her!
196
00:12:24,230 --> 00:12:26,600
Check she's firing
on all cylinders!
197
00:12:26,630 --> 00:12:29,470
Ain't that the sweetest sound?
198
00:12:29,500 --> 00:12:30,470
What did you do to it?
199
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:33,200
Opened up the venturis,
draw some more air in.
200
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,610
A trick I learned
when I used to race stock cars.
201
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,840
You are gonna notice
a lot more power.
202
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:42,880
(engine stops)
203
00:12:48,490 --> 00:12:49,990
What's going on?
204
00:12:50,020 --> 00:12:52,390
I went in to find
what was broken,
205
00:12:52,420 --> 00:12:54,120
saw a way to make it
even better.
206
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,360
Why?
207
00:12:55,390 --> 00:12:57,890
That's what neighbors do.
208
00:12:57,930 --> 00:13:00,900
We keep an eye out
for one another.
209
00:13:04,130 --> 00:13:05,670
Is this about what I saw?
210
00:13:05,700 --> 00:13:08,610
Depends. What did you see?
211
00:13:05,700 --> 00:13:08,610
That woman.
212
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,270
What woman?
213
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,270
The one who almost had
214
00:13:10,310 --> 00:13:11,410
a knife put through her.
215
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:16,180
A human sacrifice?
That'd be something.
216
00:13:21,180 --> 00:13:24,690
She has been peeking out
at me all afternoon.
217
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,320
Never came out to offer me
a refreshment or even say hi.
218
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,530
Now, you can tell her from me,
"I do not bite."
219
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:31,330
(growls)
220
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,360
(Ernest laughs)
221
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,200
You ever need anything,
222
00:13:35,230 --> 00:13:38,070
ever again, you know
where to find me.
223
00:13:51,310 --> 00:13:54,320
I think we should
call the police.
224
00:13:54,350 --> 00:13:57,150
And what? Have him arrested
for fixing our car?
225
00:13:57,190 --> 00:14:00,260
He's probably the one who
broke it in the first place.
226
00:14:00,290 --> 00:14:02,430
Only to make it
run better.
227
00:14:02,460 --> 00:14:06,330
I can't figure out
what this guy's after.
228
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,500
Well, it seems
pretty obvious.
229
00:14:08,530 --> 00:14:10,100
You saw something
you shouldn't have,
230
00:14:10,130 --> 00:14:12,440
and now he's making sure
you don't tell anybody.
231
00:14:12,470 --> 00:14:14,500
Maybe it was a mistake
to tell you.
232
00:14:14,540 --> 00:14:18,110
Do you think he
knows that I know?
233
00:14:18,140 --> 00:14:19,440
That's not what I meant.
234
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,310
I don't think he's
trying to scare us.
235
00:14:24,350 --> 00:14:26,620
Or at least, that's not all
he's trying to do.
236
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,530
My father taught me
about symbols like this.
237
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,060
Your father?
238
00:14:38,090 --> 00:14:41,100
This was before he left.
239
00:14:41,130 --> 00:14:44,470
I was seven or eight.
240
00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:48,070
Most parents teach their
children the ABCs at that age.
241
00:14:48,100 --> 00:14:52,480
Marvel wasn't most parents.
242
00:14:52,510 --> 00:14:57,050
No, I suppose not.
243
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,450
He told me they're not
all meant as hexes.
244
00:15:02,390 --> 00:15:04,350
Some are gateways.
245
00:15:06,260 --> 00:15:07,420
Gateways to what?
246
00:15:09,430 --> 00:15:12,430
Hey. You know I'm not gonna let
anything bad happen.
247
00:15:12,460 --> 00:15:14,560
It's silly. We should
be celebrating.
248
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,130
Instead, we're talking about
that creep across the way.
249
00:15:17,170 --> 00:15:20,500
Then let's forget
about all this and celebrate.
250
00:15:24,170 --> 00:15:26,240
To all our dreams coming true.
251
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,720
FATHER SHELBY:
What is weighing on you
252
00:15:32,750 --> 00:15:34,750
today, my child?
253
00:15:37,650 --> 00:15:40,590
How can you tell when you're
in the presence of evil?
254
00:15:42,590 --> 00:15:46,130
I mean, did Eve know
the serpent was evil,
255
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,300
and that's what
tempted her?
256
00:15:48,330 --> 00:15:51,070
Or was she so innocent that
she just didn't know any better?
257
00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:55,740
I take it you're here on behalf
of your husband again.
258
00:15:55,770 --> 00:15:57,640
Yes.
259
00:15:57,670 --> 00:16:01,180
What precisely
are we talking about now?
260
00:16:01,210 --> 00:16:02,580
This new neighbor
of ours.
261
00:16:02,610 --> 00:16:06,320
I find his behavior
repellent, but Jack...
262
00:16:06,350 --> 00:16:08,790
he almost seems
compelled.
263
00:16:08,820 --> 00:16:11,650
What threat does
this man pose?
264
00:16:11,690 --> 00:16:13,820
That is precisely what
I would like to find out,
265
00:16:13,860 --> 00:16:16,460
but Jack refuses to
listen to reason.
266
00:16:16,490 --> 00:16:20,260
Susan, it has been a joy
to see you grow up
267
00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:24,470
to be such an upright,
responsible young woman.
268
00:16:24,500 --> 00:16:29,840
Do you have anything
to confess?
269
00:16:29,870 --> 00:16:31,810
I do, Father.
270
00:16:35,180 --> 00:16:39,420
Jack and I are still
taking precautions.
271
00:16:39,450 --> 00:16:41,850
We talked about this.
272
00:16:41,890 --> 00:16:43,420
I know.
273
00:16:43,450 --> 00:16:46,590
You speak of Eve.
274
00:16:46,620 --> 00:16:49,260
Do you remember
the first instruction
275
00:16:49,290 --> 00:16:51,660
she was given?
276
00:16:51,690 --> 00:16:54,560
Be fruitful and multiply.
277
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:55,900
I know.
278
00:16:55,930 --> 00:17:00,140
I am sorry for this
and all of my sins.
279
00:17:00,170 --> 00:17:03,640
What would you
have me do?
280
00:17:03,670 --> 00:17:06,240
Simple.
281
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,310
A flower only opens
282
00:17:09,350 --> 00:17:11,650
for a bee who's come
to pollinate.
283
00:17:14,180 --> 00:17:17,420
RICHARD: There's a pecking order
that must be respected.
284
00:17:17,450 --> 00:17:19,560
Colleagues ask questions first,
285
00:17:19,590 --> 00:17:22,490
then the grad students,
then, if there's time,
286
00:17:22,530 --> 00:17:24,860
undergrads.
287
00:17:22,530 --> 00:17:24,860
(horn honking)
288
00:17:24,890 --> 00:17:27,460
Where am I
on that list?
289
00:17:27,500 --> 00:17:28,670
I doubt I'll have
much to say
290
00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:31,730
about the laminar boundary layer
around an elliptic cylinder.
291
00:17:31,770 --> 00:17:33,600
The topic
is not important.
292
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,270
Every student from GALCIT
will be there.
293
00:17:37,310 --> 00:17:39,480
This is where we should
be recruiting people.
294
00:17:39,510 --> 00:17:41,910
Yeah, right.
295
00:17:41,950 --> 00:17:43,650
This is where the best
and brightest minds
296
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,420
on campus
congregate, right?
297
00:17:46,450 --> 00:17:48,280
We should be in
there with them.
298
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,420
Don't, Jack.
299
00:17:49,450 --> 00:17:51,590
The Athenaeum
is invite only.
300
00:17:51,620 --> 00:17:52,760
We'll see about that.
301
00:17:52,790 --> 00:17:53,890
The lecture is
in ten minutes.
302
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,630
Hold your horses. I'm just gonna
get a quick peek inside.
303
00:17:57,660 --> 00:18:00,630
Good day, sir. Is there
something I can help you with?
304
00:18:00,660 --> 00:18:02,870
Uh, yeah, maybe you can.
I'm looking for the room
305
00:18:02,900 --> 00:18:05,340
my pal Bertie ate in.
306
00:18:02,900 --> 00:18:05,340
Bertie?
307
00:18:05,370 --> 00:18:07,670
As in Einstein.
His friends call him Bertie.
308
00:18:07,700 --> 00:18:09,340
Are you a member
of the faculty club?
309
00:18:09,370 --> 00:18:11,710
You never know, I may be.
310
00:18:11,740 --> 00:18:13,410
Well, the moment
you're invited,
311
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,450
you're more than welcome
to look in any room you like.
312
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,450
In the meantime,
please be on your way.
313
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,620
Your loitering is bothering
our guests.
314
00:18:19,650 --> 00:18:20,980
(clears throat)
315
00:18:21,020 --> 00:18:23,590
Good afternoon,
Professor Hammond.
316
00:18:23,620 --> 00:18:27,920
Some day, this place
is gonna be begging me to join,
317
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,260
and I'll agree
on one condition only:
318
00:18:31,290 --> 00:18:33,400
that they fire
their fucking doorman.
319
00:18:35,470 --> 00:18:37,730
In most cases, the
boundary layer is turbulent
320
00:18:37,770 --> 00:18:39,640
over much of the airfoil.
321
00:18:39,670 --> 00:18:42,270
But the properties of the
small laminar region downstream
322
00:18:42,310 --> 00:18:44,440
from the
stagnation point
323
00:18:44,470 --> 00:18:47,340
have a noticeable impact
on the transition phenomena.
324
00:18:47,380 --> 00:18:50,910
I would like to thank
Professor Mesulam
325
00:18:50,950 --> 00:18:54,020
for his generosity in checking
the mathematical derivations.
326
00:18:54,050 --> 00:18:58,250
If there remains any questions
that you would like to ask,
327
00:18:58,290 --> 00:19:01,290
I will now briefly
open the floor.
328
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:02,930
Yes, you in the back.
329
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,330
Thank you for that
illuminating talk, Professor.
330
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:07,260
I've learned everything
I would ever want to know
331
00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:08,830
about laminar
boundary layers,
332
00:19:08,870 --> 00:19:12,470
but I'm curious if you've ever
given thought to aircraft
333
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:15,410
that wouldn't experience
that sort of air friction?
334
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:16,940
I'm afraid I don't follow.
335
00:19:16,970 --> 00:19:18,880
I don't mean aircraft
designed to fly
336
00:19:18,910 --> 00:19:20,880
within Earth's
atmosphere,
337
00:19:20,910 --> 00:19:23,450
but those designed to
leave Earth altogether.
338
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:24,410
(students murmuring)
339
00:19:24,450 --> 00:19:26,620
Which one of my students
put you up to this?
340
00:19:26,650 --> 00:19:28,280
No one did, sir.
341
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,490
I'm not interested
in playing along.
342
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,060
Is there anyone who would like
to ask a serious question?
343
00:19:33,090 --> 00:19:34,590
I am being serious.
344
00:19:34,620 --> 00:19:36,330
My partner here and I
are heading up
345
00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:38,030
Caltech's first
project dedicated
346
00:19:38,060 --> 00:19:39,960
to the science
of rocketry.
347
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,800
(students murmuring)
348
00:19:42,830 --> 00:19:46,800
This is the project you left
the propeller team for,
349
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,810
Mr. Onsted?
350
00:19:50,470 --> 00:19:53,340
Speak up, Richard.
I don't think they heard you.
351
00:19:53,380 --> 00:19:55,980
Um, yes, sir.
352
00:19:56,010 --> 00:19:58,350
Yes, it is,
Professor Tillman.
353
00:19:58,380 --> 00:20:00,720
Because he realized
the same thing I did,
354
00:20:00,750 --> 00:20:04,020
that propellers
are a dying technology.
355
00:20:04,050 --> 00:20:06,020
This institute
prides itself
356
00:20:06,060 --> 00:20:08,730
on breaking new frontiers,
and yet, I can't help but notice
357
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,560
a certain acquiescence
to the status quo.
358
00:20:11,590 --> 00:20:13,760
The question you all
must ask yourselves:
359
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,730
do you wish to merely
be technicians,
360
00:20:15,770 --> 00:20:17,630
or are you innovators?
361
00:20:15,770 --> 00:20:17,630
That's enough.
362
00:20:17,670 --> 00:20:19,600
Rockets are the future, whether
you want to believe in them
363
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,100
or not.
364
00:20:21,140 --> 00:20:22,940
And Mr. Onsted and I are going
to build machines
365
00:20:22,970 --> 00:20:25,480
that will allow mankind
to explore the cosmos,
366
00:20:25,510 --> 00:20:26,840
and we're looking for
367
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,580
a few fortunate souls
to join our team.
368
00:20:29,610 --> 00:20:31,680
Only the most brilliant
369
00:20:31,710 --> 00:20:35,420
and bold among you need apply.
370
00:20:35,450 --> 00:20:37,090
No, no. No, no, no.
371
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:40,020
What's your name?
372
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,430
Parsons, sir. Jack Parsons.
373
00:20:44,460 --> 00:20:45,760
Are you a student?
374
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,760
I'm entirely unfamiliar
with you.
375
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,430
I'm not a student, no.
376
00:20:49,470 --> 00:20:51,400
I'm a chemist, primarily.
377
00:20:51,430 --> 00:20:53,070
(students snickering)
378
00:20:51,430 --> 00:20:53,070
MAN: You kidding me?
379
00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:55,970
TILLMAN:
"A chemist, primarily"?
380
00:20:56,010 --> 00:20:57,740
Perhaps you're aptly named Jack,
381
00:20:57,770 --> 00:21:00,780
as in "of all trades...
382
00:21:00,810 --> 00:21:03,010
master of none"?
383
00:21:00,810 --> 00:21:03,010
(students laugh)
384
00:21:03,050 --> 00:21:04,910
I'd venture to say
I know more about chemistry
385
00:21:04,950 --> 00:21:06,150
than anyone in this room.
386
00:21:06,180 --> 00:21:08,050
TILLMAN:
I'd venture to say
387
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,690
that you'd venture to say
a lot of things.
388
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,060
(chuckles softly)
389
00:21:12,090 --> 00:21:13,660
You claim you're working on
the science of rocketry,
390
00:21:13,690 --> 00:21:15,060
but that's a contradiction
in terms.
391
00:21:15,090 --> 00:21:17,090
Rockets aren't science.
392
00:21:17,130 --> 00:21:21,160
They're a harebrained idea
fit only for Hollywood films.
393
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,870
And here's why.
394
00:21:25,870 --> 00:21:29,540
I, uh, realize
you're primarily a chemist,
395
00:21:29,570 --> 00:21:31,510
but a man working on rockets
396
00:21:31,540 --> 00:21:33,710
ought to be familiar with
the basics of aeronautics.
397
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:50,490
Do you know what
this equation suggests?
398
00:21:54,100 --> 00:21:55,100
Excuse me.
399
00:21:55,130 --> 00:21:56,030
What's the matter?
400
00:21:56,070 --> 00:21:57,930
Surely a man as confident
as yourself knows
401
00:21:57,970 --> 00:22:00,900
the fundamental equation
of airplane performance.
402
00:22:00,940 --> 00:22:02,570
Since we don't
have all day,
403
00:22:02,610 --> 00:22:05,680
let me explain in terms
a layman would understand.
404
00:22:05,710 --> 00:22:07,540
From this equation,
one could extrapolate
405
00:22:07,580 --> 00:22:10,050
that the amount of fuel needed
for an aircraft
406
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,480
to achieve thrust greater than
the pull of gravity
407
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,550
would be so heavy as to render
such a feat impossible.
408
00:22:16,590 --> 00:22:19,460
Or, unless you've come up
with some kind of
409
00:22:19,490 --> 00:22:23,130
magical fuel that none of us
have ever heard of?
410
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,930
I haven't,
411
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,000
but that doesn't mean I won't.
412
00:22:27,030 --> 00:22:28,500
Excuse me?
413
00:22:28,530 --> 00:22:29,970
Just because the
math doesn't exist
414
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,570
for what we're trying
to do, doesn't mean
415
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,140
what we're trying
to do can't exist.
416
00:22:33,170 --> 00:22:35,140
And maybe gravity
will reverse,
417
00:22:35,170 --> 00:22:37,110
and maybe the sky
will turn purple,
418
00:22:37,140 --> 00:22:40,540
and maybe, just maybe,
Santa Claus is real.
419
00:22:40,580 --> 00:22:41,940
(students laugh)
420
00:22:44,110 --> 00:22:46,880
This is Caltech, Mr. Parsons.
421
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,150
We don't deal in fantasy.
422
00:22:49,190 --> 00:22:51,790
We deal in hard facts.
423
00:22:54,090 --> 00:22:56,090
(board slams)
424
00:23:07,700 --> 00:23:09,710

425
00:23:29,030 --> 00:23:31,030
(humming grows louder)
426
00:23:41,070 --> 00:23:43,070
(humming continues)

(glass clinks)
434
00:26:02,710 --> 00:26:03,950
Jack?
435
00:26:03,980 --> 00:26:06,180
Why didn't you tell me
you were home?
436
00:26:09,750 --> 00:26:11,120
What are you doing?
437
00:26:11,150 --> 00:26:13,790
I tried knocking.
Nobody answered.
438
00:26:13,820 --> 00:26:15,990
So you just came in?
439
00:26:16,030 --> 00:26:18,160
Orange tree in my backyard
is going bananas.
440
00:26:18,190 --> 00:26:20,100
(laughs)
441
00:26:20,130 --> 00:26:21,960
Anyway, I got more than
I know what to do with,
442
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,330
so thought I'd come over, make
you some fresh-pressed juice.
443
00:26:24,370 --> 00:26:26,440
Got to find a juicer.
444
00:26:26,470 --> 00:26:29,170
Jack will be home any minute.
445
00:26:29,210 --> 00:26:30,710
ERNEST:
Don't worry.
446
00:26:30,740 --> 00:26:31,970
There's plenty
for everybody.
447
00:26:32,010 --> 00:26:34,480
Ooh, got you.
448
00:26:34,510 --> 00:26:37,210
You know,
for someone who's married
449
00:26:37,250 --> 00:26:39,280
to a man who handles
dangerous chemicals all day,
450
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,750
I thought you'd have
a thicker skin.
451
00:26:42,790 --> 00:26:44,150
Come on. Sit down.
452
00:26:44,190 --> 00:26:46,260
Make yourself
comfortable.
453
00:27:05,410 --> 00:27:08,810
Do you mind if I ask you
a personal question?
454
00:27:10,810 --> 00:27:12,880
Are you and Jack happy?
455
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,280
Are you?
456
00:27:17,090 --> 00:27:18,990
Of course.
457
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,460
It's just,
he's out of the house a lot,
458
00:27:22,490 --> 00:27:26,200
and he could be up to anything
and you'd never know.
459
00:27:26,230 --> 00:27:29,270
I know exactly what he's doing.
460
00:27:29,300 --> 00:27:33,170
Well, I guess it cuts both ways.
461
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:34,970
You could be up to anything
462
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,740
while he's out
and he'd never know.
463
00:27:38,340 --> 00:27:40,810
I don't... I don't know
what you're implying,
464
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,250
but Jack and I
tell each other everything.
465
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,520
Of course you do.
466
00:27:46,550 --> 00:27:50,020
The lie of marriage.
467
00:27:50,050 --> 00:27:53,020
You think you know somebody,
but there are some things
468
00:27:53,060 --> 00:27:57,160
that you can never truly know.
469
00:28:01,100 --> 00:28:03,300
Why are you doing this?
470
00:28:03,330 --> 00:28:05,070
Oh, I'm just curious.
471
00:28:05,100 --> 00:28:07,400
You know, some people
read books, and...
472
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,310
I read people.
473
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,870
ERNEST: ...on a farm just
outside Creve Coeur, Missouri.
474
00:28:38,900 --> 00:28:40,840
Now, I don't speak French,
475
00:28:40,870 --> 00:28:43,040
but supposedly
that means brokenhearted.
476
00:28:43,070 --> 00:28:44,410
No one's happy there.
477
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:45,570
Small-minded people
478
00:28:45,610 --> 00:28:48,210
living small-minded lives.
(slurps)
479
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,280
Welcome home.
480
00:28:51,310 --> 00:28:54,420
Just getting better acquainted
with your lovely wife here.
481
00:28:54,450 --> 00:28:56,090
Get out.
482
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,220
ERNEST:
Excuse me?
483
00:28:57,250 --> 00:28:58,890
I said get out.
484
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,520
You can't just come
into a man's home.
485
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,460
Do you only go places
where you're allowed?
486
00:29:03,490 --> 00:29:07,130
A bit of the pot calling
the kettle black. (laughs)
487
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,300
I'm just trying to
share my bounty, Jack.
488
00:29:09,330 --> 00:29:10,870
I like to share things.
489
00:29:10,900 --> 00:29:12,370
Let me ask you something.
490
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,370
When you were a boy and
tried to summon the devil,
491
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,910
you ever wonder what you'd have
done if he'd actually shown up?
492
00:29:21,610 --> 00:29:24,380
SUSAN:
We think he's part of one of
those fringe religious groups
493
00:29:24,410 --> 00:29:26,480
that are popping up
all over the city.
494
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,150
He stuck this to our door.
495
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,630
What do you think
the "93" means?
496
00:29:37,660 --> 00:29:39,960
That we're gonna
be the 93rd?
497
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,130
93rd...?
498
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,570
Victim, or something?
499
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,670
Pretty sure if this guy
had 92 other victims,
500
00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:47,300
we'd know about it.
501
00:29:47,340 --> 00:29:49,470
Yes. Of course.
502
00:29:49,510 --> 00:29:51,610
He try something when
he was alone with you?
503
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,580
Uh, no. Not exactly.
504
00:29:55,610 --> 00:29:58,180
He was acting
menacing enough though.
505
00:29:58,210 --> 00:30:00,480
Asking all these
strange questions.
506
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,920
But he didn't take nothin'?
507
00:30:05,150 --> 00:30:07,320
Not that we're
aware of, no.
508
00:30:10,690 --> 00:30:12,530
What are you going to do?
509
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:13,660
Lot of kooks out there.
510
00:30:13,700 --> 00:30:15,200
If we arrested every one,
511
00:30:15,230 --> 00:30:17,300
no space left
for the actual criminals.
512
00:30:17,330 --> 00:30:18,500
But what if
he threatens us again?
513
00:30:18,530 --> 00:30:20,000
Well, like my pop
always said,
514
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,400
"Best way to stop a bully
515
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,270
is to bully him back."
516
00:30:26,980 --> 00:30:29,610
(indistinct radio chatter)
517
00:30:39,420 --> 00:30:41,420
(clucking)
518
00:30:46,660 --> 00:30:48,230
Did you tell him?
519
00:30:48,260 --> 00:30:49,330
SUSAN:
What?
520
00:30:49,370 --> 00:30:50,730
About my dream?
521
00:30:50,770 --> 00:30:53,040
You think I'd tell
that lunatic anything?
522
00:30:53,070 --> 00:30:55,070
How long was he in here
before you came in?
523
00:30:55,100 --> 00:30:57,370
I have no idea.
524
00:30:59,210 --> 00:31:00,540
Son of a bitch.
525
00:31:00,580 --> 00:31:02,410
That must be how he knew!
526
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,250
SUSAN:
Knew what?
527
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,520
Jack, what are
you going to do?
528
00:31:14,490 --> 00:31:16,090
Howdy, neighbor.
529
00:31:16,130 --> 00:31:18,430
How do you like having
a fucking knife pointed at you?
530
00:31:18,460 --> 00:31:20,500
I've faced worse.
531
00:31:25,370 --> 00:31:27,040
What're you looking for?
532
00:31:27,070 --> 00:31:28,270
What's the matter?
You don't like people
533
00:31:28,300 --> 00:31:29,670
going through
534
00:31:28,300 --> 00:31:29,670
your
535
00:31:28,300 --> 00:31:29,670
shit?
536
00:31:29,710 --> 00:31:30,670
(whistles)
537
00:31:30,710 --> 00:31:33,680
Fascinating read.
538
00:31:33,710 --> 00:31:36,010
Too bad you're nothing like
the man who wrote it.
539
00:31:36,050 --> 00:31:37,610
I am the man who wrote it.
540
00:31:37,650 --> 00:31:38,980
I don't think so.
541
00:31:42,690 --> 00:31:45,390
The boy who wrote that knew
who he was and what he wanted.
542
00:31:45,420 --> 00:31:47,060
He wanted to perform magic,
543
00:31:47,090 --> 00:31:49,660
ride a comet, conjure the devil.
544
00:31:49,690 --> 00:31:51,230
The man in front of me
leaves in a three-piece
545
00:31:51,260 --> 00:31:52,660
in the morning,
gets back at night
546
00:31:52,700 --> 00:31:55,430
in a goddamn monkey suit
with his name stitched in it.
547
00:31:55,460 --> 00:31:58,370
All these different costumes.
No fucking idea who he is.
548
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,140
You don't know what the fuck
you're talking about.
549
00:32:00,170 --> 00:32:01,670
Keep trying
to work so hard
550
00:32:01,700 --> 00:32:03,310
to keep up the illusion
that you matter,
551
00:32:03,340 --> 00:32:04,570
but you know you don't.
552
00:32:04,610 --> 00:32:06,640
You know
that if you died tomorrow,
553
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,040
the world would
just go on spinning.
554
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,180
I know, 'cause I used
to be the same.
555
00:32:11,210 --> 00:32:14,250
Then I found
a different way.
556
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,190
The note I left
was not a threat.
557
00:32:17,220 --> 00:32:19,420
It was an invitation.
558
00:32:19,460 --> 00:32:21,820
JACK:
To what?
559
00:32:21,860 --> 00:32:23,560
A place where you can be the man
560
00:32:23,590 --> 00:32:24,830
you always dreamed
of being.
561
00:32:24,860 --> 00:32:26,730
I don't need help.
562
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,200
I just got my foot
in the door at Caltech.
563
00:32:29,230 --> 00:32:31,470
(scoffs)
564
00:32:29,230 --> 00:32:31,470
You don't believe me?
565
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:35,170
Stodgy place like that'll never
appreciate a man like you.
566
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,270
Everything you know,
you learned in your garage.
567
00:32:37,310 --> 00:32:39,440
So what?
568
00:32:37,310 --> 00:32:39,440
They're gonna do everything
in their power
569
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,510
to make you feel like you don't
belong, if they haven't already.
570
00:32:42,540 --> 00:32:44,710
You can stop proselytizing.
I'm not interested.
571
00:32:44,750 --> 00:32:47,580
Really? Or are
you just chicken?
572
00:32:47,620 --> 00:32:49,320
Call me that one more time.
573
00:32:49,350 --> 00:32:51,790
Or what? You're gonna call
the police on me again?
574
00:32:59,860 --> 00:33:02,630
How much longer do you need
to keep working there?
575
00:33:02,660 --> 00:33:06,540
JACK:
My boss asked me to stay until
they can find a replacement.
576
00:33:06,570 --> 00:33:09,770
I felt bad leaving them
in the lurch,
577
00:33:09,810 --> 00:33:11,740
so I'm gonna
work there weekdays.
578
00:33:11,770 --> 00:33:15,340
Nights and weekends
with Richard for a while.
579
00:33:15,380 --> 00:33:17,380
I thought your position
at Caltech would mean
580
00:33:17,410 --> 00:33:19,650
I'd get to see more
of you, not less.
581
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,450
Yeah, it will,
582
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,850
once Pueblo can find someone
to fill my shoes.
583
00:33:24,890 --> 00:33:28,320
Granted, they are
pretty big shoes to fill.
584
00:33:30,290 --> 00:33:32,190
Just make sure you
keep this Sunday free.
585
00:33:32,230 --> 00:33:35,600
We have dinner
with my family.
(sighs)
586
00:33:35,630 --> 00:33:38,370
He specifically asked
if you'd be there.
587
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,370
All the more reason
to skip it.
588
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,910
I think we need to stay
on his good side, don't you?
589
00:33:45,940 --> 00:33:50,680
He's keeping us
in the bank's good graces.
590

Unless you think that's no
longer going to be an issue?
591
00:33:55,350 --> 00:33:57,590
All right. I'll go.
592
00:33:57,620 --> 00:34:00,390
I'll even bring my mother.

about inviting us next time.

Sure did. This is
a promising CV

You're the Green Hornet

This is just to keep the head
warm and to attract the dames.

And Kato
620
00:35:55,300 --> 00:35:56,770
is Japanese,
if I'm not mistaken.
621
00:35:56,810 --> 00:35:59,780
Chiang here
is Chinese.

00:35:59,810 --> 00:36:01,680
Is that right?
623
00:36:01,710 --> 00:36:04,680
It's a good thing he doesn't
listen to the Green Hornet,

'cause nothing pisses him off
like people making that mistake.

They've had some trouble getting
onto any other thesis teams.
633
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,300
Well, that's because nobody gave
Chiang the respect he deserves,
634
00:36:24,330 --> 00:36:25,670
but he sparked to what you
said in Tillman's lecture
635
00:36:25,700 --> 00:36:27,900
about you guys
not having the math

Sorry, a-am I correct
in understanding
703
00:41:13,390 --> 00:41:15,690
that the-the university
is funding you
704
00:41:15,720 --> 00:41:18,830
to design a rocket
intended to reach the moon?
705
00:41:19,930 --> 00:41:22,030
That's the ultimate objective,
yes.
706
00:41:22,060 --> 00:41:23,830
Neat-o.
707
00:41:23,870 --> 00:41:25,900
VIRGIL: That reminds me
of an article I read,
708
00:41:25,930 --> 00:41:29,770
some years ago,
about a man named, uh, Goddard.
709
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,110
Robert Goddard? He was an early
pioneer of the field.
710
00:41:33,140 --> 00:41:34,880
Yes, that's the one.
711
00:41:34,910 --> 00:41:36,310
What did he do?
712
00:41:36,340 --> 00:41:38,350
Goddard was the first
to successfully fire
713
00:41:38,380 --> 00:41:40,080
a liquid fueled rocket.
714
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:41,350
I thought you were the first?
715
00:41:41,380 --> 00:41:43,020
VIRGIL: No, I-I believe
this man, uh,
716
00:41:43,050 --> 00:41:45,790
Goddard beat Jack
by about ten years.
717
00:41:45,820 --> 00:41:47,820
Shared many of the same
aspirations, in fact.
718
00:41:47,860 --> 00:41:49,990
That's right.
719
00:41:47,860 --> 00:41:49,990
Now, forgive me
if-if I'm misremembering,
720
00:41:50,030 --> 00:41:53,190
th-this was
721
00:41:50,030 --> 00:41:53,190
The New York Times,
mind you--
722
00:41:53,230 --> 00:41:55,960
and-and I know I'm no scientist
723
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,900
like our man Jack, here--
724
00:41:57,930 --> 00:42:00,070
but this article
made it seem like
725
00:42:00,100 --> 00:42:02,770
those aspirations
were preposterous.
726
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,240
That a rocket stood no chance of
working in outer space.
727
00:42:05,270 --> 00:42:07,680
Something to do with the lack
of air to push against.
728
00:42:07,710 --> 00:42:10,380
Well, Virgil, that criticism
grossly misunderstands
729
00:42:10,410 --> 00:42:12,680
Newton's third law of motion:
730
00:42:12,710 --> 00:42:15,750
that for every action, there is
an equal and opposite reaction.
731
00:42:15,780 --> 00:42:17,120
S-So you
consider yourself
732
00:42:17,150 --> 00:42:19,720
more of an expert
than
733
00:42:17,150 --> 00:42:19,720
The New York Times?
734
00:42:19,750 --> 00:42:21,220
When it comes to rockets, I do.
735
00:42:21,260 --> 00:42:22,920
So you truly
do believe,
736
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,390
that you, Jack Parsons,
737
00:42:24,430 --> 00:42:26,760
can build a ship
that will take us all
738
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:27,960
to the moon?
739
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,300
Yes.
740
00:42:29,330 --> 00:42:31,200
Where do you get such faith
in yourself?
741
00:42:31,230 --> 00:42:34,400
Where do you get
your faith in God?
742
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,010
Well, see, the difference is,
743
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,910
other people share my faith.
744
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,280
Sorry.
745
00:42:46,850 --> 00:42:51,290
Now, Lucifer's original sin...
746
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,290
was pride, hmm?
747
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,420
Thinking that he was
748
00:42:56,460 --> 00:42:59,860
an equal of the Lord.
749
00:42:59,890 --> 00:43:02,030
Now, remember, Jack,
you are just a man,
750
00:43:02,060 --> 00:43:05,330
a man with responsibilities.
751
00:43:07,370 --> 00:43:09,370
(door creaks open)
752
00:43:12,170 --> 00:43:14,240
So instead of attempting
the impossible,
753
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,450
you should focus on
paying your mortgage.
754
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,080
Susan, go and fetch
my checkbook.
755
00:43:19,110 --> 00:43:20,780
Virgil.
VIRGIL:
Now, I'm sorry.
756
00:43:20,820 --> 00:43:22,750
When I married into this family,
your mother was a widow
757
00:43:22,780 --> 00:43:24,450
and you were
a helpless young girl.
758
00:43:24,490 --> 00:43:27,090
I swore to ensure
your well-being,
759
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,190
and when Jack married you,
760
00:43:28,220 --> 00:43:30,260
he assumed that obligation.
761
00:43:35,130 --> 00:43:38,970
We women can take better care
of ourselves than you think.
762
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,040
Your father's money took care
of you, until it ran out.
763
00:43:44,410 --> 00:43:48,040
Now, I am making this out
to the bank,
764
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,080
so don't you get any ideas.
765
00:43:50,110 --> 00:43:53,210
This is not a-a gift, mind you.
766
00:43:53,250 --> 00:43:55,120
This is a loan.
767
00:43:55,150 --> 00:43:58,250
It's time you two
started facing...
768
00:43:58,290 --> 00:43:59,950
(pen scribbling)
769
00:43:59,990 --> 00:44:01,720
...reality.
770
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,110
Don't let what he said
get to you.
771
00:44:17,140 --> 00:44:20,110
He's just jealous.
772
00:44:20,140 --> 00:44:21,980
It's true.
773
00:44:22,010 --> 00:44:25,210
He thinks he's smarter
than everyone.
774
00:44:25,250 --> 00:44:28,220
It needles him to know
an actual genius.
775
00:44:30,550 --> 00:44:33,190
Did you know?
776
00:44:33,220 --> 00:44:35,290
Know what?
777
00:44:39,260 --> 00:44:41,830
He said he just
wanted to talk.
778
00:44:46,170 --> 00:44:48,970
We don't have to deposit the
check, if you don't want to.
779
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,010
(engine starts)
780
00:45:03,590 --> 00:45:04,990
(clattering nearby)
781
00:45:05,020 --> 00:45:07,090
(Jack shushing)
782
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:08,460
(footsteps nearby)
783
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,440
Wait there.
784
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,080
(clattering nearby)
785
00:45:45,260 --> 00:45:47,260
(clattering continues)
786
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,080
(clucking)
787
00:46:02,110 --> 00:46:04,110
(sighs)
788
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,180
(squawking)
789
00:46:15,190 --> 00:46:16,860
(banging on door)
790
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,430
You're right, okay?! I'm not
the man I thought I'd be
791
00:46:22,460 --> 00:46:24,630
when I was
eight fucking years old!
792
00:46:24,670 --> 00:46:26,170
No one is!
793
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,900
You get married.
You get responsibilities.
794
00:46:28,940 --> 00:46:30,910
We can't all be like you.
795
00:46:30,940 --> 00:46:32,270
(chicken clucking)
796
00:46:34,210 --> 00:46:36,340
You can be
exactly like me.
797
00:46:36,380 --> 00:46:39,650
You just need to have
an open mind.
798
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,520
Jack, please come inside.
799
00:46:48,060 --> 00:46:50,460
ERNEST:
How many miles to Babylon?
800
00:46:53,130 --> 00:46:55,100
What did you just say?
801
00:46:55,130 --> 00:46:58,130
I heard it's three score
and ten.
802
00:46:58,170 --> 00:47:00,540
How the fuck
did you know about that?
803
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,210
That wasn't written
in any of my notebooks.
804
00:47:06,240 --> 00:47:08,610
No. It wasn't.
805
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:12,410
So how did you know?!
806
00:47:14,420 --> 00:47:16,120
Magick.
