Clockstoppers
Ladies and gentlemen,
American Airlines is announcing...
flight number 1243
to Costa Rica.
All passengers holding tickets
for flight 1 243...
may now proceed to gate 50-B..
Come on.
Put me in with the cargo.
Sir, the 10:
00 to Costa Rica is booked,but I can get you out in the morning.
Not if I'm dead, you can't.
Thankyou for nothing.
Hey, watch it.
Who does he think he is,
somebody important?.
- Sir, you forgot your keys.
- Keep 'em.
I need a vacation...
real bad.
Hey, watch it!
I hope you're happy.
Sir?.
I think it's time you came
back to work, Dr. Dopler.
Hey, Zak!
Let's take a look
at another example.
Say Amy is out for
a leisurely drive in her VW bug...
in his Ferrari.
Hey, come on, that could happen.
Totally.
So, you're doing 20.
Eddie's doing 220.
-What does he look like when he goes by?.
-I don't know.Just a blur, I guess.
Exactly. And if he was going fast
enough, you wouldn't see him at all.
From Eddie's point ofview, you would
look as ifyou were standing still.
And that is a basic example...
of Einstein's theory
ofwhat, Eddie?.
Highway safety.
Relativity.
Relativity.
- Didn't do your reading assignment?.
- That's a funny story.
See, science is a discipline.
This department has trained
some of the best minds in the world.
But nobody ever gets there
by just coasting along.
I don't mean to sound like your father,
but I take pride in my students.
I want to see them succeed. That means
doing the work, being persistent and...
not looking for
the quick-fix, easy way out.
We'll finish up Einstein when I get back
from the applied science congress.
In the meantime,
you guys have a couple days off...
- Hey, Dad.
- Hey, Zak.
This is a rare honor.
Come on, I visit you at work
every now and then.
it's usually because you need something.
That's crazy.
Can you co-sign for my car?.
I got the down payment together.
There's a few cars I liked at Benson's,
and their lot stays open until 9:00.
Hold on a second.
Hey, Jer.
Where's my stipend
on the NASA consultation?.
- We finished that job three months ago.
- Working on it.
So maybe we can get there
around 7:
00?.Dr. Gibbs, your batch is up on the
mainframe. It's some pretty wild stuff.
- I'll be down in a minute.
- What are you working on?.
Last weekend an old student sent me
a project he's working on with QT Labs.
You remember Earl Dopler. One of the
best students to ever pass through here.
That freak who used to come over
and eat a lot of potato salad?.
He isn't a freak.
Eccentric, maybe.
Anyway, the word on this project
is very hush-hush.
Let's just say that,
hypothetically speaking...
it were possible to accelerate
your molecular structure...
until the rest of the world
seemed as if it were standing still.
- Cool.
- It's called hypertime.
Imagine being able to perform delicate
surgery between the beats of a heart.
This technology is going to
revolutionize medicine, science, travel.
Speaking of travel,
So, did you download
those consumer reports?.
I was gonna do that
before you got home, but--
-Dad, you already blew me off last week.
-No, I was in a meeting with the dean.
Of course that's never
happened before, right?.
I want you to do your homework on this.
Let's see those safety reports.
- And we'll talk about it at home.
- Does that mean we can go tonight?.
when I get home.
Good enough.
Yes!
It's very safe
and a great father-son activity.
