It all flows into this room,

and then into the WOPR computer.

- WOPR? What is that?

- War Operation Plan Response.

This is Mr Richter.

Paul, would you like to tell

these gentlemen about the WOPR?

Well, the WOPR spends all its time

thinking about World War Ill.

24 hours a day, 365 days a year,

it plays an endless series of war games

using all available information

on the state of the world.

The WOPR has already fought

World War Ill, as a game,

time and time again.

It estimates Soviet responses

to our responses

to their responses, and so on.

Estimates damage. Counts the dead.

Then it looks for ways

to improve its score...

The point is that the key decisions

of every option have already

been made by the WOPR.

So all this trillion-dollar hardware

is really at the mercy

of those men with the little brass keys?

That's exactly right. Whose only problem

is that they're human beings.

But in 30 days we could put in electronic

relays. Get the men out of the loop.

Gentlemen...

I wouldn't trust this overgrown pile of

microchips further than I could throw it.

I don't know if you wanna trust the safety

of our country to some... silicon diode...

Nobody is talking about entrusting

the safety of the nation

to a machine, for God's sake!

We'll keep control,

but here at the top where it belongs.

All right, gentlemen.

I think I'm going to recommend

McKittrick's idea to the president.

And I'll get back to you on this.

You won't regret this.

OK. You had fries and a Coke, right?

Damn!

- Hi, David!

- Hi, Howie!

- How's it going?

- Pretty good.

- You wanna take this over? I gotta go.

- Sure!

- Go ahead.

- Thanks!

- Bye, David!

- Bye!

All right. Question number two.

Seeds that are germinated in water

before they are planted will... what?

- Robert?

- Sprout roots?

Ah! David!

Nice of you to join us.

Oh, David. I have a little present for you.

Question number four.

In the history of science,

novel and innovative concepts

occasionally arise

from sudden left-field inspiration.

Miss Mack...

Could you tell us your answer

to question number four?

Why do nitrogen nodules

cling to the roots of plants?

Love?

Jennifer, what do you know about

nitrogen nodules that we don't?

Some bit of salacious info

to which you alone are privy?

- No.

- I see.

No, you didn't know

the correct answer - symbiosis.

Because you don't pay attention in class.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

There seems to be a lot of confusion on

this next question - asexual reproduction.

Could someone tell me, please

who first suggested the idea

of reproduction without sex?

- Miss Mack!

- Yes?

What is so amusing?
