A Sound of Thunder
(0.00 / 0 votes)I haven't seen any wildlife yet.
We could be in downtown Pittsburgh,
for all I know.
Dad, how are you holding up?
I'm fine, I'm fine,
except for you asking me every
two minutes how I'm holding up.
Sorry, honey.
I'm hot.
How much further do we...
Jesus, take that thing
out of my face!
Sorry, Dad doesn't like cameras unless
he's got his trench coat over his face.
How's the old man doing?
Heart rate slightly elevated,
blood pressure normal.
I got $100 says Travis
taps his daughter tonight.
Sucker bet.
You might want to record
over the last bit.
When are we gonna see something?
What?
If you don't talk,
you might hear something.
Hear what?
All right, everyone, get ready!
Remember, your weapons
won't fire until mine does,
so be patient!
What the...?
Wait for my command!
Dad, how are you...
Sorry!
Whatever happens,
do not step off of the path.
Thank you for sharing.
Oh, my God!
Cute, isn't he?
You don't see that in downtown
Pittsburgh, do you Mr. Wallenbeck?
Shoot, for Christ's sake!
Heart rate elevated.
- Shoot it!
- Wait.
Hold it.
- Not yet!
- Are you crazy?
Shoot it!
Now!
Anything to say, Mr. Wallenbeck?
Gentlemen and lady.
Today you stood shoulder-to-shoulder
with Columbus discovering America,
Armstrong stepping on the moon,
Brubaker landing on Mars.
You are true pioneers
on the very last frontier:
Time.
On behalf of us all at Time Safari,
Incorporated,
I congratulate you
I'm proud to know you.
I have to say,
of all the jumps I've seen,
your group's was by far
the most courageous and skillful.
I was scared out of my mind.
My heart's still pounding.
That's a nominal physiological
reaction to the jump.
Your heart rate will slow
as we gain distance from the event
and adrenaline flow
is reduced.
What?
It is.
Can I ask you something, Mr. Hatton?
Of course.
Anything at all.
Where's Travis Ryer?
- You look like you could use a drink.
- Nope.
You're a government inspector.
- You're supposed to drink on the job.
- I don't drink.
Then this is the best
you'll feel all day.
- I hate these jumps, is all.
- Picked the right line of work.
Biding my time.
Couple more years, I'll be out.
Civil Service pays you guys
enough to retire early?
Have a good night.
This is the clearest reading of
molecular blood structure
- we've ever had.
- You are correct, Dr. Ryer.
I'm getting closer and you know it.
- Yes, Dr. Ryer.
- Contain your enthusiasm.
My function is to facilitate
the operation of Time Safari,
not your private research.
On that subject,
will you be filing your report
on today's jump tonight
or at the last possible moment
tomorrow, as usual?
- Reminding is not nagging.
You've got an answer for everything.
I have to.
I was extremely expensive.
It's not always a good quality.
I understand, Dr. Ryer.
So don't have the last word.
- I won't, Dr. Ryer.
- You did it.
- I'm sorry, Dr. Ryer.
- You did it again.
Anything going on between you two
that I should know about?
- Good evening, Mr. Hatton.
- Hello, TAMI.
The guests are asking for you.
I'll be finished in a few minutes.
When I say guests,
it's a euphemism. I mean clients,
as in "people who pay. "
If I remember correctly,
clients keep us waiting,
not the other way around.
I'm almost done.
I don't think
you're catching my drift.
You work here so you can study
your silly animals
who don't exist anymore.
I work here so I can grow
rich and fat
and own everything
that does happen to exist.
I hired you because
you're this big deal scientist
