who's out here enjoying the game...

that these teams are donating all

the proceeds of tonight's ticket sales...

to the relief effort after

last week's bombing in Europe.

So we thank everybody for their support

at this terrible time.

"Probabilistic calculation

of Air Pollutant Dispersion." Bingo.

What's that?

Little light reading for the crapper?

"This equation can be used

to calculate time remaining...

until viable surface re-habitation."

- Ball two.

- Listen to this.

- Pitcher's a little bit shaky.

- Listen, listen.

"Parameters are,

cross wind dispersion...

concentration of pollutant,

horizontal deviation," right?

- Right? Listen to this.

- You can almost see the homerun...

in this guy's eyes right here.

"Optimal scenario

for re-habitation is 30 years.

But this figure may deviate

upwards of 150 years."

Did you hear that?

You've watched the game 100 times.

Here it comes, here it comes.

And there it goes!

I'm saying we might not be stuck

down here for much longer.

Yeah, just another hundred years, right?

Blink of an eye.

Says here it could be as little

as 20 more shifts.

Buddy, that's for a weather forecast...

which is 50 percent right

10 percent of the time.

But you just keep on reading, all right?

We interrupt your regularly scheduled

programming to bring you this....

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Heard it all before.

We've just received confirmation of

a series of explosions around the world.

Buddy, it's your move.

Major cities such as Munich, Tokyo,

London and Brisbane were targeted.

What's it gonna be, Mr. Kasparov?

Reports are coming from reliable

sources from inside the government.

May not be official, but....

Now this isn't official, but we're hearing

that these attacks could be...

similar to the hybrid nuclear and

chemical weapon that devastated...

Tel Aviv earlier this year.

The president has now raised military

readiness to DEFCON One...

which is the highest threat level

this country has ever been in.

There you go.

You got six more months

to regret that move.

- Wait. I thought we had more time.

- Nope. Like sand through the hourglass.

- You check these diagnostics?

- Yeah, yeah.

Just about to make our sleep cocktails.

Good. I got a date with Miss 1979.

Back to sleep?

That's the routine.

We'll be together soon.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

I tell myself that every time.

My brain knows it.

But my body tells me that I'm about

to climb into a high-tech coffin.

- Have you forgotten already?

- Please, Abby, I've got work to do.

Think of how good

it would feel to touch me.

Oh, no, no, no...!

- Bauer! Bauer! Open the door!

- What the f***?

I need the fire extinguisher, please!
