To continue,
Dr. Meacham,
We test out people without their
knowledge. We leave nothing to chance.
Except the chance that I'm not
interested in you or your group.
Come, come, doctor. It's not possible
that a man of your scientific curiosity...
wouldn't want to find out
who I am, where I come from,
Wouldn't give his right arm for more
examples of our superior
technical knowledge.
I think I can assume,
Dr. Meacham,
that you're sufficiently intrigued
to come to an immediate decision.
We'd like you to join our...
team, as you might say, at once.
You'll make arrangements to leave
immediately. Wait. I didn't say...
at 5:
00 wednesday morning, ourplane will land at your field.
It will wait exactly
five minutes and then depart.
Whether I'm aboard or not?
Place the catalog on
that table with the blueprints.
Now stand aside, please.
You too, Mr. wilson.
Just a minute. Please step

Further back.
You okay?
Okay...
Within reason. If there
There's no reading now.
Cal.
Yes, Joe?
Whoever that Exeter is,
I don't like him.
Don't you, Joe?
I'm gonna be on that plane.
Cal, won't you reconsider?
I did... all night.
And, as a committee of one, I
came to a series of decisions...
at exactly
the fifth cup of coffee.
One:
whatever scientific knowledgeshould be
in our textbooks.
Two:
Joe Wilson,my able assistant,
knows enough about a certain experiment
to carry on without me for awhile.
I'm not sure of that, Cal. Look, Joe,
my committee decided
I'm expendable.
Nothing you can say will change
that. You always were an obstinate...
Oh, well,
I'm not worried.
Not even a moth equipped with a lightning
bug could fly in here this morning.
So no plane is...
He made it.
No pilot.
No windows. Cal, you'll
really be flying blind.
Please be seated, Dr. Meacham.
And welcome aboard.
A seat belt is not
required, doctor.
Please clear the stairs.
Thank you.
So long, Joe. I'll be
dropping you a card.
Cal, get off right away! This
whole thing smells to high heaven!
Cal, I'm beggin' you.
Don't go!
Please don't go!
Good morning,
Dr. Meacham.
Hope you slept well.
We'll be landing shortly.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Where am I?
Georgia.
I kind of expected
Neptune or Mars.
Exeter asked me to greet
you. I'm Dr. Ruth Adams.
Ruth Adams! But this is
wonderful. I never expected...
Ruth, I'm Cal Meacham.
Cal.
Dr. Meacham,
