Dr. Karl Eckstrom:
With that differential of six over N to the thirtieth power the halfway check result is two hundred and sixty-two thousand to three hundred and forty-one thousand both using tangent E, correct? Dr. Lisa Van Horn:
That isn't the result I have. Dr. Karl Eckstrom:
They must be the same. There is an error there. Dr. Lisa Van Horn:
[defensive]
I have made no error, Doctor Eckstrom. Dr. Karl Eckstrom:
I have to say that you have made an error and to discard your figures. I'm sorry. Dr. Lisa Van Horn:
[sarcastic]
Don't be. Dr. Karl Eckstrom:
Surely you are not going to let emotion enter into this? Dr. Lisa Van Horn:
[dejected]
Certainly not. Dr. Karl Eckstrom:
We will continue computing using my results as a basis. Dr. Lisa Van Horn:
Yes, I... Except that I feel very strongly I should say we should try both. Dr. Karl Eckstrom:
We can't. To complete either calculation would take six to eight hours; we can't afford the time. It's either one or the other, Doctor Van Horn. Dr. Lisa Van Horn:
[pleading]
But it doesn't have to be. You can't be arbitrary about imposing your will when these people's lives are at stake, don't you realize that? And you speak as calmly as if you were saying 'Pass the salt.' Aren't you human? Are you made of ice? [brief pause as she collects herself] Dr. Lisa Van Horn:
I'm sorry, I apologize. Dr. Karl Eckstrom:
For what? For momentarily being a woman? It's completely understandable, Miss Van Horn. Now shall we go ahead? Dr. Lisa Van Horn:
Yes Doctor

262,341, both using
tangent 8, correct?
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:07.562
That isn't the result I have.
00:00:08.219 --> 00:00:09.742
They must be the same.
00:00:09.758 --> 00:00:11.234
There's an error there.
00:00:11.819 --> 00:00:13.913
I've made no
error, Dr. Eckstrom.
00:00:15.029 --> 00:00:17.826
I have to say that you made an
error, and discard your figures.
00:00:18.001 --> 00:00:19.001
I'm sorry!
00:00:19.961 --> 00:00:20.961
Don't be...
00:00:21.766 --> 00:00:24.018
Surely you're not going to
let emotion enter into this?
00:00:24.302 --> 00:00:25.489
Certainly not.
00:00:26.001 --> 00:00:28.943
We'll continue computing,
using my results as a basis.
00:00:29.308 --> 00:00:30.362
Yes, Doctor.
00:00:31.246 --> 00:00:34.769
Except that I feel very strongly I
should say that we should try both.
00:00:35.434 --> 00:00:36.434
We can't...
00:00:36.073 --> 00:00:39.082
To complete either
calculation will take 6 to 8 hours.
00:00:40.999 --> 00:00:41.456
We can't afford the time.
00:00:41.055 --> 00:00:43.003
It's either one or the
other, Dr. Van Horn.
00:00:43.476 --> 00:00:44.987
but it doesn't have to be...
00:00:45.191 --> 00:00:47.391
You can't be arbitrary
about imposing your
00:00:47.416 --> 00:00:49.592
will, when these
people's lives are at stake.
00:00:49.065 --> 00:00:51.001
Don't you realize that?
00:00:51.481 --> 00:00:54.637
You speak as calmly as if
you were saying pass the salt.
00:00:55.223 --> 00:00:57.551
Aren't you human?
Are you made of ice?
00:00:59.901 --> 00:01:02.223
I'm sorry. I apologize.
00:01:02.007 --> 00:01:05.364
For what? For momentarily
being a woman?
00:01:05.001 --> 00:01:07.996
It's completely
understandable, Ms. Van Horn.
00:01:09.001 --> 00:01:12.324
- Now, shall we go ahead?
- Yes, Doctor.
00:01:13.001 --> 00:01:16.657
- Tangent L9.
- Tangent L9.
00:01:40.852 --> 00:01:41.852
Hello?
00:01:42.501 --> 00:01:43.501
Yes.
00:01:44.744 --> 00:01:46.658
It's Dr. Hurley at Mt. Palomar.
00:01:47.999 --> 00:01:48.712
Yes, Dr. Hurley... yes.
00:01:48.878 --> 00:01:52.557
We located the R-X-M's
position at 7:16 this morning.
00:01:52.073 --> 00:01:55.003
Since then there has
been very little change.
00:01:55.999 --> 00:01:57.997
Apparently, their velocity...
00:01:57.496 --> 00:01:59.999
Is far more than we anticipated.
00:01:59.536 --> 00:02:00.077
Are you sure, Doctor?
00:02:03.001 --> 00:02:04.999
Thank you.
00:02:36.999 --> 00:02:38.999
"The wind that blows
between the worlds."
00:02:38.999 --> 00:02:40.001
"It cut him like a knife."
00:02:40.673 --> 00:02:41.001
What?
00:02:42.999 --> 00:02:44.001
Hah, nothing, it's a line
from Kipling's Tomlinson.
00:02:44.999 --> 00:02:48.239
A poem about the chap,
ah, somewhat in our fix.
00:02:48.999 --> 00:02:50.999
He couldn't get in
to heaven or hell.
00:02:51.137 --> 00:02:52.976
Suspended in space.
00:02:54.001 --> 00:02:56.999
Would you do
something for me, please?
00:02:56.483 --> 00:02:57.608
Sure.
00:02:57.858 --> 00:03:00.946
I need those two graphs
under Dr. Eckstrom's arm.
00:03:01.816 --> 00:03:04.999
I'm tired and shaky,
I might awaken him,
00:03:05.999 --> 00:03:06.916
I know the feeling.
00:03:06.983 --> 00:03:09.178
I wouldn't rob him of
his sleep for anything.
00:03:10.075 --> 00:03:13.001
I knocked over a 10 foot
Christmas tree once, while decorating
00:03:13.999 --> 00:03:17.244
my cousin's house, just still trying
to do something when I was too tired.
00:03:17.001 --> 00:03:21.006
It was about one o'clock in the
morning, kid's woke up, came rushing in.
00:03:21.249 --> 00:03:23.001
At first the thought I was
Santa Claus, lying there
00:03:23.001 --> 00:03:25.696
with a busted tinsel
star on my nose.
00:03:25.791 --> 00:03:27.999
- I spoiled everything!
- Shh...
