Alex:
You guys want to go grab a soda?

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,200
I don't know,
I've got homework.

18
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:05,440
Yeah, me too.

19
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,680
I have homework

I haven't gotten to yet.

So what are you guys
saying?

22
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,640
Are you in?

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:13,640
Yeah, I'm in.

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,800
It's Friday,
we've got all weekend.

25
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,360

26

Want to come

Are you
serious?

28
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,120
I have a math exam Monday

29
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,320
worth half my grade.

30
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:25,560
Come on, you could
stop studying now

31
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:26,680
and ace it.

32
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,520
For your information,
Louis

33
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,320
good grades
aren't just luck.

34
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:31,840
You have to work hard.

35
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,600
Don't get so upset.

36
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,040

<i>( Laughing )</i>

38
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,600
Sure you don't want
to take

39
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,120
a study break, Nicole?

40
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,440
See, I heard that if

41
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,800
you study too much
you can get ulcers

42
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,760
and stress-related
illnesses.

43
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,760
I'll see you guys later, okay?

44
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,560
<i>Wow, she is
wound up tight.</i>

45
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,280
I've never seen Nicole
like that.

46
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,800
Her family
is all achievers.

47
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,960
Making the honor roll
is expected.

48
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,320
If she doesn't get an "A"
in math, she won't make it.

49
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,120
I know about
not living up to

50
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,800
family academic
traditions.

51
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,600
But Nicole's
an incredible student.

52
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,240
Who cares if she
doesn't make honor roll?

53
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,200
She does.

54
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,120
Her parents do.

55
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,000
Personally,
I don't do well

56
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,760
with that kind
of pressure.

57
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:32,720
I totally wilt.

58
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,480
Anything we can do
to help?

59
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,080
When Nicole
gets like that

60
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,040
she's a wreck.

61
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,400
You can't talk
to her.

62
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,840
And we're
not the ones

63
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,120
to help with her math,
are we, Alex?

64
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,440
Yeah, I guess not.

65
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,920
<i>Mr. Mack:
I couldn't believe it myself.</i>

66
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:48,440
GC-161 is a far more powerful
substance

67
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,440
than any of us first thought.

68
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,600
I see.

69
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,960
From everything
that I can see

70
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,560
GC-161 could alter

71
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,240
human genetic structure.

72
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,560
Can I assume this is
good news you're telling me?

73
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,480
Not exactly.

74
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,880
The Chemical may now fall into

75
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,600
a group
of class-d substances

76
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,560
that the government
won't allow

77
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,200
much experimentation on.

78
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,440
As usual, very good work, Mack.

79
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,720
I want you to put GC-161
aside now.

80
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,480
Do you have another project
you can work on?

81
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,440
The household projects
division

82
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:23,560
asked me to look

83
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,120
at toxic levels
in our new air freshener.

84
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,320
You do that.

85
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,320
Oh, just one more thing,
Miss Atron.

86
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,200
Remember
that truck accident

87
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,040
last year
near the schools?

88
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,960
There was a rumor
going around

89
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,000
that a child
was possibly doused

90
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,920
with an enormous amount
of GC-161.

91
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,440
If that's true

92
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,880
I fear for that child.

93
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,520
<i>That was only a rumor.</i>

94
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,440
And it happened long ago.

95
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,840
If anything serious
had happened

96
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,680
someone would have
come forward by now.

97
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,760
I guess so.

98
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,080
I'll stay in touch.

99
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,600
And in the meantime

100
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,200
keep this
to yourself.

101
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,320
All right?

102
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,680
Vince, get in here immediately.

103
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,400
Annie:
Nicole, wait.

104
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,200
Nicole?

105
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:20,920
What happened?

106
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,160
She came over to see

107
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,000
if I could help her
with trig

108
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,520
so I explained it
to her

109
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:26,840
and after ten minutes

110
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:28,520
she got really
frustrated.

111
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,680
What did you do?

112
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,680
Nothing.

113
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,720
I was very nice.

114
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,320
It's so strange.

115
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,600
It's not.

116
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,280
It happens a lot
at my school.

117
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:38,400
Some kids are
such great students

118
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,880
but they get
overwhelmed

119
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,840
with this pressure
to succeed.

120
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:43,520
It can be
debilitating.

121
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,600
Can be what?

122
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,560
It can prevent you
from doing anything.

123
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,360
Why can't you
just say that, then?

124
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,640
<i>( Dialing phone )</i>

125
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:04,880
Hi, Ray?

126
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,520
It's me.

127
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,360
I need you to go back to school
with me.

128
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,480
I know you just escaped
from there

129
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,000
but we have to.

130
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,840
It's for Nicole.

131
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:17,160
We knew this would
happen eventually.

132
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,120
I didn't think

133
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,560
it would happen
so soon.

134
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,480
Mack's good
at what he does.

135
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,040
Can we trust him?

136
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,840
He seems loyal
to the organization.

137
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:26,800
But...

138
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,240
But you can't
be sure.

139
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,360
Exactly.

140
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,600
See, he mentioned
the truck accident

141
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,400
and his concern
over the kid

142
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,120
splashed
with the chemical.

143
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,920
Why would he care
about that?

144
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,280
Unfortunately, Vince

145
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:39,280
some people have

146
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:41,160
what's known
as a conscience.

147
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,800
Miss Atron,
I'm in charge

148
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,880
of protecting
the Plant's security

149
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,160
and this strikes me

150
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,360
as a great threat
to the GC project.

151
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,400
Although nothing
in Mack's files

152
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,520
indicates a problem

153
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,520
I think he needs
to be monitored closely.

154
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,240
Agreed.

155
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,560
I want a plan
by the end of the day.

156
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,160
And you
will have one.

157
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:08,960
I can't believe you.

158
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,120
Ray, keep it down.

159
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,000
I ask you
to help me like this

160
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,360
and you
turn me down.

161
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,040
This is different.

162
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,000
No, it's not.

163
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,600
You're stealing
the test.

164
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,440
That's all I
wanted you to do.

165
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:20,560
First of all

166
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,800
Nicole works hard
at her school work.

167
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:23,800
And you don't.

168
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,760
That's why
I need the help more.

169
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,480
You'd want
to steal the test

170
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,840
to cheat
right off it.

171
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:31,280
I'll just use it
to help her study.

172
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:33,280
I won't even tell her
I have it.

173
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:34,440
What a waste.

174
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,040
Just keep a lookout,
okay?

175
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,000
If anyone comes

176
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,160
knock on the door.

177
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,240
Just be quick.

178
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:19,600
Raymond!

179
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:20,560
Oh, uh-uh...

180
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:21,880
Hi, Mr. Sperry.

181
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:22,840
How are you?

182
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:23,800
I'm fine, Ray.

183
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,440
What are you doing here?

184
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,440
School's been out
for some time.

185
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:28,800
Uh, I forgot a book.

186
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,280
Uh, I was hoping
I'd run into you.

187
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,240
You have.

188
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,400
Excuse me?

189
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,040
You've run into me.
What can I do for you?

190
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,160
You really never
congratulated me

191
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,080
on my final grade
last semester.

192
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,360
Your final grade?

193
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,840
I believe you got a C-plus.

194
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:45,800
I know.

195
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,000
If you saw
what I'm getting now

196
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,480
you'd know what
an achievement that was.

197
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,440
It was nice talking to you
about the old days.

198
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,360
<i>I know my day
is now complete.</i>

199
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,040

200
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,000

210
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:57,840
Hi.

211
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,240
Did you come
to study some more?

212
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,280
Um...
Actually

213
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,840
I came to study
with Alex.

214
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:04,800
With
Alex...

215
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:05,920
Yeah.

216
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:06,880
We're okay.

217
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:07,880
You can go now.

218
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,080
Just... go.

00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,120
Okay.

220
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,080
Alex,
this is crazy.

221
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,920
I know you're
worried about me

222
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,360
but there's not much
you can do to help.

223
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,400
I think I can.

224
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:19,920
Annie had sperry for trig

225
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,520
and gave me some areas
you should focus on.

226
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:23,800
What good
would it do?

227
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,200
You know sperry brags

228
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,720
about how he never
gives the same test.

229
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,280
Please let me help.

230
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,200
I really think I can help you.

231
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,800
I guess it couldn't hurt.

232
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:34,840
Great.

233
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,240
We'll start with
polar coordinates.

234
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,720
Alex, we didn't spend
that much time

235
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,200
on polar coordinates.

236
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,240
Trust me.

237
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,080
Mr. Mack:
I had no idea

238
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,360
GC-161 contained
those properties.

239
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,160
To tell you the truth,
it's frightening.

240
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,480
What's up, Dad?

241
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,920
Oh, it's something
I discovered at work

242
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,160
about GC-161.

243
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,040
George,
what are you saying?

244
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,080
This chemical

245
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,440
you've been working on
can actually

246
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,080
change our genetic makeup,
our DNA?

247
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,760
Believe it or not, yes.

248
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,840
And someone may
be exposed to it

249
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:12,840
in large doses.

250
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,200
Oh, you mean
the child

251
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,800
in the truck accident.

252
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:16,800
Right.

253
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,000
Who knows how
it'll affect him?

254
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,040
I feel guilty
for being involved

255
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,080
in the research.

256
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,280
Don't feel guilty.

257
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,840
You were doing your job.

258
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,040
If a kid was contaminated
by GC-161

259
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,400
he'd need regular
and complex testing

260
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:30,960
to make sure
he was okay.

261
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,880
Well, maybe
that's happening.

262
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,520
I know you're trying
to make me feel better

263
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,600
but only a few of us
know anything about GC-161.

264
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,800
Well, you know more

265
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,640
than most
of our researchers.

266
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,720
To think that...

267
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,000
I could've had any involvement
at all in...

268
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,120
In ruining
some kid's life.

269
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,480
It will be fine, Dad.

270
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:52,800
If some kid was harmed

271
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,600
we would have heard about it.

272
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,200
Annie's right, George.

273
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:58,480
I hope so.

274
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,920
I really hope so.

275
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,800
<i>Vince:
I'm worried about Mack.</i>

276
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,400
His office phone calls
have been monitored

277
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,320
and he's
not saying anything

278
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,760
about GC-161,
but...

279
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,600
But... who knows
what happens

280
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:14,840
when he gets home?

281
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:17,960
Exactly.

282
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,840
I think a few well-placed
surveillance devices

283
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,040
could go a long way
to easing our concerns.

284
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,920
I don't know what you're
talking about, Vince.

285
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,200
But... I approve
of your judgment.

286
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,920
And I appreciate
that approval.

287

We've got to talk.

294
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,200
What's up?

295
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,280
Dad made this huge
discovery today

296
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,320
about GC-161.

297
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,040
He knows
how powerful it is.

298
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,240
He's upset
about the kid

299
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,680

300

Yeah, you.

He doesn't know it's you

303
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,240
although I almost told him.

304
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,920

sure I'm okay

Yeah, I'm sure.

307
00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:17,560
I mean, I'm pretty sure.

308
00:12:17,560 --> 00:12:20,200

00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,320
Annie, when
you helped her

334
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,280
she went running
from the house.

335
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,080
I better check
the one upstairs, too.

336
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,440
Oh, okay, sure,
follow me.

337
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,400
Alex:
You're right.

338
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,440
That's why I'm glad

339
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,720
I have an advance
copy of the test.

340
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,480
What?

341
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,440
How?

342
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,080
Well, I was
worried about her.

343
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,840
So yesterday
after school

344
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,320
I sort of snuck back in

345
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,200
and got into Sperry's office

346
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,200
and took it.

347
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,040
Alex, I cannot believe

348
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,400
that you would do
something so unethical.

349
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,600
And how did you get
into the classroom?

350
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,320
Alex:
How do you think I got in?

351
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,480
I used my powers.

352
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,760
Louis:
Wait till you see this.

353
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,240
People will make total
jerks of themselves

354

for ten bucks.

355
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:10,920
I used to do this
all the time

356
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,120
back in Cincinnati.

357
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,240

Well, everything
checked out here.

a slight clicking

367

Okay, well,
thanks so much.

369

yourself out?

370

Of course.

and I didn't have
time to morph.

That so-called

was Vince

406

our house

you told me

Yes.

Good. We have

take a look?

Please.

hear me.

I said, I don't
have time.

Are you sure you're
with the phone company?

Yes, I'm sure.

Because if you can't
take a look at my phone

I'll just take down
your license plate number

and talk to
your supervisor.

00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,040
Look, I'm just saying,
you know...

501
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,000
Luck!

502
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,080
I'll never steal again.

503
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,520
I'll never
steal again.

505
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:10,840
So how'd you do?

506
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,520
He didn't test us

507
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,320
on a single thing
you told me he would.

<i>( Laughing )</i>

509
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,960
Dad, will you tell us
that story

510
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,840
about when you went
bowling with scooter

511
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,960
and you got your fingers
stuck in the ball?

512
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,560
<i>Annie, dear...
( Chuckles )</i>

513
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,560
I think we've all heard that one
quite enough, don't you?

514
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,720
No, Mom, I'd actually
like to hear it again.

515
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:38,960
Sure, if you want.

516
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,000
It seems like you're
asking to hear

517
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,040
all my favorite stories tonight.

518
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,200
Well, we both went
looking for a ball

519
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,880
and there weren't many left.

520
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,040
So I picked up
this really small one

521
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,920
<i>( beeping )
And before I knew it</i>

522
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,600
<i>( snickering )
I had my thumb</i>

523
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,440
wedged in the hole
in the ball.

524
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,120
I thought it would come off

525
00:20:56,120 --> 00:20:57,320
when I rolled it

526
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,080
but I went flying
into the alley.

527
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,280
<i>( Giggling )</i>

528
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,280
You know, they really
grease those things up

529
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,760
with polyurethane.

530
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,200
So, they called for the manager
and it took him 15...

531
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,160
So, do we have anything
to worry about?

532
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,960
No, and I have listened

533
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,960
to hours and
hours of tapes

534
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,440
and not only has he not
once mentioned GC-161

535
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,320
he is also the most
boring human being

536
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,240
I have ever come across.

537
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,800
Okay, Vince,
you can back off.

538
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:27,760
For now.

Mr. Mack:
...you have to realize

541
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,480
how cold the water was.

Yeah?

545
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,480
It's Nicole.

546
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:43,440
Oh, no.

547
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:44,360
Come in.

548
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:47,120
Hi.

Hi.

<i>( Sighs )</i>

551
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,520
You know, like I
told you, Alex

552
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,600
you totally led me
in the wrong direction.

553
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,480
I'm sorry, Nicole.

554
00:21:58,480 --> 00:21:59,600
The good news is

555
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:00,920
I didn't need you.

I got a 96 anyway.

That's great!

Thanks.

if I could buy you
a soda to celebrate.

Definitely.
