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
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.
World War Ill, as a game,
time and time again.
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
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
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
- 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
of reproduction without sex?
- Miss Mack!
- Yes?
What is so amusing?
