The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet Page #4

Sir, I'm not sure if you

read the introduction... But I

You think you're the smarter

than everyone else, don't you?

As for the diagram, its very pretty

but scientifically erroneous.

Really, Sir?

Bacause I sent it to

the Discover Magazine

and... they like it,

and they publish it.

Do not play games with me, T.S.

You're out of your league.

And what about the magnetic wheel?

Didn't mention anything about that.

I dont give a a rat's ass

about the magnetic wheel

Mr. Stenpock, how can a man like you,

supposed to open our minds

through scientific curiosity,

How can you be so

aggresively narrow minded?

Every scientists were like you

The will be no penicillin,

no relativity,

or sewer trains,

Know what it would be,

no chocolates or cookies!

Superiority complex, this

is what you have. T.S.

Your talents in scientific

observations would be put to better use

in picking your socks in the morning.

Lend me a hand for a second?

What's your need?

Settle out the creak. Its

drying among its pockets.

We'll get her spit up all

she has got before sunset.

Com'on.

To know that my father had to

resort to ask me help from me,

his only remaining son

The one who is used to saw in the ranch

filled me with sadness.

Layton should have been here, not me.

One day, he shot a coyote with

his Winchester from 200 yards.

Father was so impressed.

He took off his hat and

slapped it on my brother's head.

It was a special moment.

I knew it would never happen to me.

She is still runnin a bit last week.

There's no back for got some juice.

Like the... the crickets teasing me.

Couple of months earlier,

I had built a scale model depicting

the hydrology of our valley.

You could see the various water tables,

drainage trenchs, soil compositions

and sweepage capacity.

Dad! You wanna give it a look?

See... If you dig from here to there,

the water will be channeled to there.

thereby increasing the flow of water,

those thereby stagnating

and evaporating.

'Cause the laws of fluid mechanics,

make it unstoppable.

You asked me I was just pissing the can.

Open your eyes, you'll see that.

That ignorant goats.

Don't worry, I've got it.

Right.

So this used to be coyote chow.

It's okay, Stinky, Don't worry.

I am not gonna hurt you. Don't worry.

Maybe dying on a ranch from a snakebite,

is more befitting than a self inflicted

gunshot going to the head

by an old rifle in a cold barn.

Fixing on kissing that poison rope?

We still got our bussiness day,isn't it?

That was the first time my

father ever patted me on the back,

but I couldn't tell who was to

brush me off, to reprimand me

or a substitute for a hug.

I would go to Washington DC tomorrow.
