it under controlled conditions.

It's very technical.

Oh, technical stuff. It's technical.

Okay, go right ahead.

- We're gonna haul it out ofhere.

- Sure, go ahead.

Deke and Danny, rememberwhat

we talked about, right?

You are in charge ofthe hoisting. Get

the winch up to the hole. Understand?

Fellas, stop nodding andjust stare

at me for a second, okay?

Focus.

You understand what I wantyou to do?

- Yeah, we gotyou.

- Yeah.

Go do it.

Ira, I'm picking up

a heavy creepyvibe here.

A lot has changed.

Class, I know these look like mushrooms,

but refrain from eating them.

Oh, it smells disgusting.

Nadine, sometimes science stinks.

It's the game we play, baby.

Rotten egg smell.

- Hydrogen sulfide, right?

- Yeah, and ammonia and methane.

It's like it's converting

the atmosphere.

Look at all this rudimentary plant life.

It's amazing.

I don't want to get all girly, but I

feel something wiggling around my toes.

The ground does seem to be moving.

Whoa!

Flatworms.

Millions!

Yuck!

Oh, God!

Barely 1 8 hours

and we already have fatworms.

- Look, look!

- Hey, there they are!

- Hi, Dr. Kane.

- Hey, Dr. K.!

- Man, I almost went down!

- Awesome.

Come here, little buddy.

I'm not gonna hurtyou.

You didn't hurt it.

You killed it.

The oxygen must have killed it.

It must need its own atmosphere

to live.

Yeah.

Grab a specimenjar. We'll try to scoop

some atmosphere in there with them.

Yeah, right.

It took us two billion years to do

what they did injust a couple ofdays.

Yeah. Those little germs are

the embodiment ofthe American dream.

I'm so sorry to interrupt,

Professor Block.

But I was wondering ifI'm correct

in assuming that that field trip...

fulfilled any ofmy missing

credit requirements.

You know, Nadine,

you are a very, very smart girl.

But ifyou wouldjust focus--

Professor...

the little wigglyworm things

are breaking.

Look.

He's not breaking. It's splitting.

It's mitosis.

That's how they reproduce.

No sex?

No time for sex.

Bummer!

Little guys are splitting again.

Put it away. Look, we call no one,

tell no one. This is our secret, right?

What about the government? Isn't this

the kind ofthing they get involved in?

No government.

I know those people. Absolutely not.

You do?

This is our discovery, and we have

to maintain absolute control.

We have to do more research and check

our findings. Document everything.

Wayne?

What's this?

That would be an all-cotton towel, sir.

I believe it's a Fieldcrest.

It's a damp towel.

Why is a damp towel on my chaise?

Okay, let me take care ofthis

foryou.

You should, becauseyou're pool manager,

and you know what to do about it.
