No, sir. l think you'll find this...

...a great deal more

interesting than my last report.

Right now, Dr. Heffel is in a secret meeting

with a four-star general

and a whole gaggle of scientists.

What are they meeting about?

l don't know, sir, it's a secret.

Get in there and find out?

Do any of you have a solid evaluation?

Not a guess, a solid premise?

Do you? Well?

(clears throat)

Do you think it might be fruitful to bring

Dr. Wilson into this discussion, Dr. Heffel?

- Wilson?

- Yes.

He might very well come up

with an applicable theory.

Don't be ridiculous.

- Who's Dr. Wilson?

- He's in my carpool. Oh...

That is, we live in the same building.

- That certainly qualifies him.

- Oh.

No.

What Im trying to say is,

he's a very bright young physicist who's

come here recently on loan from Caltech.

A loan, l might add,

that is bearing absolutely no interest.

(laughter)

He's a little unorthodox,

but a brilliant theorist.

- General Stilton isn't interested in...

- Get him.

- What?

- Get him.

His output couldn't be any less

than what we've gotten so far.

Yes, General.

He really has an unusual mind.

- Well, Dr. Wilson?

- Its beautiful.

Don't you have any other observation?

- Only that it looks like an artichoke.

- We know it looks like an artichoke.

What makes it tick?

Mayonnaise?

Negative.

No, l was only joking, sir.

l do have a theory, sir, actually,

in line with the work Ive been doing.

l have a hunch it's tapping

the primal mainstream.

The primal mainstream?

Its everywhere,

only on different frequencies.

The whole electromagnetic spectrum -

Cosmic, gamma, x-rays, ultraviolet,

visible light, infrared, radio waves.

Do you know how much we finite human

beings can tune into with our senses?

Less than five percent.

The universe makes its own energy.

We even make it ourselves.

Yes, take biofeedback, for instance.

lf l taped terminals to your head, General,

your brain could run an electric train.

- Electric train?

- (Heffel) Im sorry, General.

Perhaps electric train

wasn't the most apt example.

(Heffel) Thank you very much.

- Let me have that for a couple of months...

- Thank you.

A couple of months?

Dr. Heffel?

- Yes, General?

- l want action.

(bell rings)

You know, Drexel, Ive seen

the most amazing thing. Amazing.

But don't ask me to tell you about it.

Its classified.

(bell rings)

Thank you, Drexel.

Well.

How did you get in here? Huh?

Now look, you're asking for trouble.

Dr. Heffel isn't too crazy

about animals in the building.

Fact is, he isn't too crazy about

people in the building either.

What's your name, huh?

Charlie? Cuddles? Jake?

Yes, yes. You look like Jake.
