Minutemen Page #2

---

you not do your nails while I lecture?

Sorry.

When are you done?

- Excuse me.

- Ah, Mr. Tuttle.

I believe you're here for

your booster chair.

I'll get it later.

AV Club emergency.

I need Virgil Fox right away!

- Virgil Fox?

- He's out sick.

- I heard he might not make it.

- Very funny, Mr. Fox.

You can pick up your hall pass

on your way out.

That's it. I'm moving to Paraguay.

- Ever really looked at our mascot?

- Forget the hall pass.

Remember that rocket-propulsion all

terrain cart the day of the incident?

Thanks for mentioning it again.

It's been ten minutes

since someone brought it up.

Listen, it ties together. That

invention may have not been a success,

but one element of the design was

proven viable. The quantum accelerator.

Remember that physics, new reality,

many worlds theory kick?

Oh, yeah, that was fun.

I started building my own theory

based on all of that work,

incorporating my proven hypothesis

of quantum acceleration.

I put one of the school's computers

on permanent reserve.

The DSL has been doing all the work.

And moments ago, I uploaded

the last piece of the puzzle.

Commander Tuttle on the bridge!

Dude, no way I'm saluting you.

Fine. At ease.

What I'm about to show you is very,

very, very top secret.

We have to keep this just between us.

Check it out.

Yeah?

What you're looking at

is a successful simulation

of practical time travel.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to stop any more of your

brain from leaking out your ears.

What?

Come on, yesterday you said

I should build something useful.

Well, time travel is useful.

Charlie, you're 1 4 years old.

You're two years away

from your driver's license,

you still call your underwear

'underpants'.

I should believe

you built a time machine?

Yes! And based on my specifications

a person could travel up to 48 hours

- into the past!

- That's weak.

Pardon me, how's your

time travel formula coming along?

It's all about light, right?

Nothing moves faster.

Well, my hypothesis suggests that

you can time travel on a beam of light.

From any light source.

Even light from a slide projector.

A slide projector?

Like a regular slide projector?

Did I say regular? No, I didn't.

What we're talking about

is a complex amalgamation

of electronic components and

internal combustion mechanics.

Which you know nothing about,

by the way.

We'll have to find a hardware guy.

I don't see this as a problem.

Hey, Chickadee! What's shakin'?

You have to excuse Charlie.

He's nervous around girls.

- No, I'm not!

- Oh, it's cool, I like shy boys.

- Um, what's in the bowI?

- Meringue. The assignment.

Here, take mine.
