I.Q. Page #2

- Thank you.

What you wrote about light being bent

by gravitation, the relativity thing...

That is... jivin'!

- I'm still trying to figure it out.

- Me too.

- Can I help you, Mr...

- Walters, Ed Walters.

I'm looking for Catherine Boyd.

I must have the wrong address.

- Catherine is my niece.

- She's your niece?

- I can't have a niece?

- That would make you her uncle.

- It works nicely, doesn't it?

- Wow!

I found this watch of hers

at my garage, and...

Thank you. I see that she gets it.

I was hoping to return it

to her personally.

Why?

Let's just say it would be

beneficial to her future.

Perhaps you'd better

come in, Mr Walters.

May I present Boris Podolsky,

Kurt Gdel, Nathan Liebknecht?

Three of the greatest minds

of the 20th century,

and amongst them

they can't change a light bulb.

- Edward, is it?

- Yes.

Edward has come

to pay a call on Catherine.

- Good...

- Nice, very nice...

- I could fix this for you.

- Oh, very nice.

Very nice. Thank you very much.

This is my compass.

This is what got me started in my work.

So, young man.

Do you think time exists?

Time?

I was just reading about it

in Future Science magazine.

- Tell us.

- There are these twins...

One takes a journey in a spacecraft,

at the speed of light,

and the other one stays on earth.

The twin that travels into space

comes back years later, and he's young.

And the one who stayed on earth,

by this time, is very old.

So, which one do you think is happier?

- The young one.

- Ja.

- No, the one that stayed behind.

- Why?

Because he's had a full life,

he's had experiences in love and pain.

He has a family and friends.

And the one who left, well...

- Time has just passed.

- Ja. This is good, no?

Tell us, what is your field of expertise?

My job? I'm an auto mechanic.

"See the USA in your Chevrolet", huh?

- What do you know about gravity?

- Gravity?

- Ja.

- We have a little gravity problem.

- Please be careful, Edward.

- Take it easy.

- What do you think of our Catherine?

- She's wonderful.

- Wonderful to the power of three.

- To the power of ten.

- We all love her.

- She's engaged, you know.

I know, I saw the ring.

He's a professor of experimental

psychology, James...

- Morland.

- The Rat Man.

You know what he does? He puts

electrodes on the genitals of the rats.

Some day I do that for him.

We threw the racket up

to get the birdie.

We threw Gdel's cane up there

to get the racket.

I threw Podolsky's golf club up there

to get even with him.

We're going to throw Gdel

up there next.

- It's a vicious tree.

- Edward...

What makes you think

she would be better off with you?

- I don't know. Just a feeling.
