Evolution Page #2

Good. I got to get to the game.

Let me know if you find anything.

Ira? Areyou sureyou can handle this

byyour lonesome?

All right, all right.

That's impossible.

Ten base pairs.

No, that can't be.

We need this!

Come on, ladies, look alive!

Tina, when Lisa goes for the spike,

you've got to cover the line.

Lisa, two hands! Two hands!

God gaveyou two goddamn hands

for a reason!

Big news. The most amazing thing.

The meteor samples are teeming

with one-celled organisms.

Their metabolic rates

are offthe charts.

They're dividing at an incredible rate.

It's practically exponential.

Their DNA has ten base pairs.

Ten base pairs. That's good to know.

Thankyou, Ira.

The DNA ofall life on Earth

has only four base pairs.

Come on, ladies!

Look alive!

Harry, these are organisms

from anotherworld.

They're aliens.

Is the Nobel Prize paid in installments,

or in a lump sum like the lottery?

Let's not get ahead ofourselves.

Here. My office.

I'm not getting ahead ofmyself. I'm

concerned about the tax consequences.

- Why in here?

-Just wanted to be cautious.

It's our discovery.

I'm all tingly.

I'm no biologist, but how many cells

do single-celled organisms have?

Ifwe're gonna be important scientists,

you have to act the part.

Why don'tyou take a look?

There are multi-cellular organisms

in there.

- Yes, I know.

- But theyweren't there before.

- So they snuck in.

- There was no sneaking in.

It's-- No, it's too amazing.

- What?

- It's like they're evolving.

They're growing.

They're growing

into more complex organisms.

It's evolution.

Nobel, here we come.

Yeah, but it's 200 million years' worth

injust a few hours.

That's fast.

You have no idea.

Get ready.

On my signal.

Go!

Recruit, wake up.

Wake up!

Go! Go, go, go!

The hose!

This thing here!

Sorry.

- Move it! Move it!

- Wayne, go!

Go, go! Come on!

Buddy, these things happen.

There's another test in six months.

Six months?

I can't wait six months!

At least you still got the pool gig

at the country club, right?

Great. Thanks a lot.

Drive careful.

I got it. I got it!

I do this.

Looks like we got visitors.

Class, since this is our first field

trip, please obey a few simple rules.

Dirt!

Nice footwear.

It's perfect for spelunking.

Don't touch anything.

Don't move anything. Don't even breathe

unless we tell you to.

And wearyour protective gloves

at all times.

- Why do we have to do this?

- Firsthand field experience.

The very meat and potatoes ofgeology.

- Will this be on the final?

- Yes!

- Officer, nice to seeyou again.

- Professor, what's up?

- We came to pick up the rock.

- Pick it up? What?

Yeah, we--

Just orders from the U.S.G.S. Theywant
