your major project, a book.
Not a magazine article.
Follow me and my work,
day by day in detail.
I have no life, so there's nothing
for you to interfere with.
Research the background.
Cover the process.
"The complete record of the most
earth-shattering invention ever.
The one that ended
all concepts of transport...
...of borders and frontiers,
of time and space".
The book will end with me...
...transporting myself
from one telepod to another.
That's what's missing.
Wait for me that long?
What are you doing here?
I was in the neighborhood.
Felt a bit scummy.
Rough day.
How'd you get in?
I have a key, remember?
You gave it to me.
I should've changed the lock.
You didn't.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
That's because unconsciously...
...you still want me to come back,
move in again.
No.
That's because, consciously,
I'm lazy and disorganized.
Your new playmate's interesting.
What playmate?
The nightclub act.
Brundle.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
I was wrong.
He led the F32 team.
Remember that?
An inch away from the
Nobel Prize for physics.
He was only 20 at the time.
I'm not going to do Brundle.
Maybe the Psychology Today gig.
That's not like you.
Are you getting out or am I?
and tuck you in?
No. Key.
I'll keep it...
...for old time's sake.
You're a petty schmuck.
Initiate in 5 seconds.
I've got to do this, Seth.
Talk to the tape.
Get in the habit.
The world will want to know
what you're thinking.
"F***" is what I'm thinking!
Good.
The world will want to know that.
What else?
Why didn't it work?
inside out.
Why?
It can't deal with the flesh,
only inanimate objects.
It must be my fault.
Why?
Computers only know
what you tell them.
I don't know enough about the flesh.
I have to learn.
I don't want to talk now.
Do you ever change your clothes?
What?
You're always wearing
the same clothes.
No, these are clean.
I change my clothes every day.
Five sets of exactly the same clothes?
Learned it from Einstein.
This way I don't have to...
...expend any thought on what to wear.
I grab the next set on the rack.
I bought some steaks.
Can I make you one?
We could go out.
Cheeseburger?
No, we don't have to go there.
You're very cute. You know that?
Am I?
Ew. Ow.
- What happened?
- On my back. Ow.
Oh, God,
something's stuck to your back.
Pull it off.
Oh, ew.
Ow.
Sorry.
- Do you have any disinfectant?
- No, that's okay.
I'll kiss it for you.
Sorry.
I just want to eat you up.
That's why old ladies
pinch babies' cheeks.
It's the flesh. It makes you crazy.
