- When the government first

asked me

they had a special agency on the

forefront of time travel.

Frankly, I thought it was

ridiculous.

But I have to say you two have

surpassed

what I thought was possible.

But just because I'm impressed,

does not mean that the folks

upstairs are convinced.

There are a lot of people, including

myself,

that think all of this is a waste of

money.

So, if you two would like to keep yourpp

I suggest you, Connor, figure

out

that equation and fast.

Good evening gentlemen, and

miss.

[Eerie music playing]

- Well, that was pleasant.

- Developing an equation to

measure and travel through time.

If there's something you're not

telling me Connor,

now would be a good time.

- What did you expect me to say?

The guy was breathing down my

neck.

- Don't beat yourself up about

it.

We'll figure it out.

- Hey, come on. I'll buy you a

drink.

You look like you could use one.

- Thanks, but I can't.

I gotta go home, and find a way

to get

April to forgive me for ditching her.

Again.

[Lighter clicks]

[Eerie music playing]

- That ought to light a fire under

their asses.

I want you two to stay here. Watch

this place close.

Anything goes on here,

I want to know about it.

This has already gone too far.

Somehow they've managed to

succeed.

Our orders have been shutting this

thing down

before this thing gets out of

control.

If this information ever gets

out

we could be in a world of

trouble.

- Don't worry sir.

We'll keep an eye on everything.

- You two take no action without

consulting me first.

- Yes sir.

- Yes sir.

[Knocks on the door]

- I'm so sorry.

- Don't waste your breath.

I don't want to hear it.

- Something came up all right.

Just as I was heading out the

door.

- Something always comes up.

You forgot my birthday,

but our anniversary for Christ's

sake?

You couldn't even call.

- The government agency overseeing

our grant

showed up at the last minute

unexpectedly.

- Sometimes I feel like you love

your experiments

more than you love me.

- You know that's not true.

Things have just been crazy at

work.

The minute the project's over I can

dedicate

more time to us.

- I can't promise I'm just going to

stick around that long.

We were supposed to set a date

tonight.

- I know, and I'll make it up to

you, I promise.

Friday. Friday. We'll pick

another day.

Any day you want.

- It is not just about the date.

I need to know that you care enough

about me.

That you want to marry me.

Blowing me off on our

anniversary

doesn't say that you do.

- You know you mean the world

to me.

- Then show me.

- As soon as this project is

over,

we can do everything that you want to
