(2.00 / 1 vote)Everyone inside now!
Lucinda,
we're going in.
Lucinda!
Lucinda,
we're going in.
Lucinda!
Now, you remember tomorrow
is our official opening day, don't you?
- Yes, Miss Taylor.
- Yes, Miss Taylor.
And you remember Principal Clark
ran a competition last month
to find the best ideas to celebrate
this very special day.
- Me! Me! Me!
- Me! Me! Me!
Well, yesterday,
the staff selected the winning idea,
and it came from this class.
The winner is our own
Lucinda Embry.
Lucinda?
- Why her?
Lucinda?
- Lucinda?
Come on, everyone.
We'll be closing our dedication ceremony
with the burial of a time capsule.
- Yes?
- What's a time capsule?
This is a time capsule.
Wow.
- That's incredible.
Now, I need you
to put your thinking caps on,
because I want each of you to draw
what you think the future
is going to look like.
Then we'll put the pictures in the capsule,
and 50 years from today,
a group of children just like yourselves
will open it up to see what you drew.
Doesn't that sound exciting?
- Yes, Miss Taylor.
- Yes, Miss Taylor.
Let's begin.
That is a lovely spaceship there, Dawn.
Thank you, Miss Taylor.
- Well done.
And that is a nice robot, Andrew.
Very good.
Time's up. Everyone hand your work in.
And make sure you write your name
on the envelope.
My name's over here.
Thank you, Harold.
- Thank you, Miss Taylor.
Lucinda, you need to finish up now.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Oh, Lucinda.
The assignment was to draw a picture.
This was your idea.
Okay, I want you all to finish, please.
Welcome to all
our friends and esteemed colleagues.
We, the students and faculty
hereby bury this time capsule
in dedication of our new school,
and we charge our descendents
to open this vault of history
To the future and the promise that it holds.
Lucinda?
Lucinda?
Lucinda?
I'm certain Lucinda
Can you please help find her?
The cloakroom. Check the cloakroom.
Lucinda. Henry, come on.
- Lucinda?
- Come on out now.
Lucinda?
Lucinda?
Lucinda.
Oh, my God.
Make them stop.
Please make them stop whispering.
Caleb? Take a look at this.
There you go.
What is it?
Saturn's rings await your approval.
Has anyone found life on other planets?
Not yet. Guess it's just us for now.
Okay.
Then how many that might have life?
Well, if you count the number of stars
similar to our sun in this galaxy,
then you factor in the probability that
they have Earth-like planets orbiting them...
There are 10 million possible worlds
with four million mature enough
for life to evolve.
Why do you even ask?
Just making sure if you're listening.
- Where you going?
- To watch that Discovery program.
But it's Dad's famous Sunday night
hot dogs on the run...
...time.
I can't consume that.
I've decided to become a vegetarian.
Well, when were you planning on
telling the guy
who buys the groceries around here?
Are you deaf? I just told you now, Dad.
The cubs are now
six months old and bounding with energy,
but, any parent knows,
this is also a mixed blessing.
- Off.
- No, it's almost over.
You're not gonna be able to concentrate
in class tomorrow.
I don't have class tomorrow.
It's the 50th anniversary, remember?
I remember.
Caleb,
when I said it was just us out there,
you know I was talking
about space, right?
I didn't mean heaven, or anything.
- I'm sure wherever Mom is...
- Dad, you don't even believe in heaven.
I never said that, Caleb.
I just said we can't
know for sure, that's all.
If you want to believe,
you go ahead and believe, okay?
