<i> The West </i>

00:01:08.833 --> 00:01:12.837
<i> Our ranch was located several miles
north of Divide, </i>

00:01:13.045 --> 00:01:15.464
<i> lost in the Pioneer Mountains. </i>

00:01:22.471 --> 00:01:24.974
<i> The closest thing to traffic was when </i>

00:01:25.183 --> 00:01:27.268
<i> Union Pacific Freight trains rumbled through the valley. </i>

00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:29.145
<i> at 5: 44 am </i>

00:01:30.688 --> 00:01:32.398
<i> 11: 53 am, </i>

00:01:33.524 --> 00:01:35.359
<i> 5: 15 pm. </i>

00:01:36.986 --> 00:01:40.281
<i> Divide was literally located
on the continent of the divide.</i>

00:01:40.990 --> 00:01:43.868
<i> To the east, rivers spill into the Atlantic. </i>

00:01:44.076 --> 00:01:46.537
<i> To the west, it is spill into the Pacific. </i>

00:01:48.039 --> 00:01:50.958
<i> One day my brother Layton
and I, decided to</i>

00:01:51.125 --> 00:01:52.877
<i> christian its natural water. </i>

00:01:59.717 --> 00:02:01.177
Look over here.

00:02:01.385 --> 00:02:02.637
Hello Big Sur!

00:02:02.845 --> 00:02:04.639
Hello New Orleans!

00:02:13.356 --> 00:02:15.525
<i> But Layton's favourite pastime </i>

00:02:15.733 --> 00:02:17.902
<i> was shooting at anything that moved. </i>

00:02:29.288 --> 00:02:30.331
Big loop.

00:02:30.540 --> 00:02:31.874
Elbow up.

00:02:35.127 --> 00:02:36.003
Ready?

00:02:37.171 --> 00:02:37.922
Now!

00:02:43.478 --> 00:02:45.276
Go!

00:02:53.354 --> 00:02:54.313
Stop!

00:02:54.689 --> 00:02:56.524
<i> Upon my brothers request, </i>

00:02:56.732 --> 00:02:58.943
<i>father built us a seesaw. </i>

00:03:01.654 --> 00:03:02.432
Slow down!

00:03:02.682 --> 00:03:03.645
Come on, cowboy.

00:03:03.812 --> 00:03:05.783
<i> My father loved Layton </i>

00:03:06.033 --> 00:03:08.369
<i>more than anything in the world. </i>

00:03:08.536 --> 00:03:09.829
Yes , Good deal.

00:03:17.378 --> 00:03:19.922
<i>I would have liked
to be a daredevil, too. </i>

00:03:20.131 --> 00:03:21.924
<i>But I knew I never be upto it.</i>

00:03:24.260 --> 00:03:26.137
<i> One year earlier </i>

00:03:30.766 --> 00:03:33.769
<i> Orffyreus have five marbles
trapped in tubes, </i>

00:03:33.978 --> 00:03:37.273
<i> creating an imbalance.
This rocking motion, however, </i>

00:03:37.481 --> 00:03:40.193
<i> caused the energy to dissipate. </i>

00:03:40.401 --> 00:03:43.613
<i>Robert  Flux built a mill
based on the concept </i>

00:03:43.821 --> 00:03:44.822
<i> of perpetual rotation. </i>

00:03:44.989 --> 00:03:49.410
<i> However the inherit friction of the machine
caused  significant loss of energy. </i>

00:03:49.744 --> 00:03:52.038
<i> Italian philosopher Marco Zimara </i>

00:03:52.246 --> 00:03:54.874
<i> imagined a machine that could
recycle the wind. </i>

00:03:55.082 --> 00:03:57.752
<i> But the force required
to compress the bellows </i>

00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.004
<i> was greater than the energy produced by the windmill. </i>

00:04:00.880 --> 00:04:02.673
<i>So it didn't work.</i>

00:04:09.472 --> 00:04:11.807
<i> No scientific challenge
remains greater, </i>

00:04:12.016 --> 00:04:13.059
<i> most prestigious, </i>

00:04:13.726 --> 00:04:14.560
<i> more mythical, </i>

00:04:14.769 --> 00:04:17.021
<i> than that of finding the key to </i>

00:04:17.230 --> 00:04:19.106
<i> perpetual motion. </i>

00:04:29.200 --> 00:04:31.369
Yet some affirm that

00:04:31.577 --> 00:04:34.121
this quest is doomed to failure.

00:04:34.539 --> 00:04:35.831
Such a machine

00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:38.501
defies the laws of the universe.

00:04:38.709 --> 00:04:42.004
The very basis of thermodynamics
assumes that

00:04:42.213 --> 00:04:45.049
all mechanism will
eventually come to stop.

00:04:48.219 --> 00:04:51.097
Given the current state of Science
and Technology,

00:04:51.305 --> 00:04:54.016
isn't the quest for perpetual motion
better suited for

00:04:54.183 --> 00:04:57.937
idealists and poets
than real scientists?

00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:05.069
What if imagination start it

00:05:05.361 --> 00:05:06.737
and science end it?

00:05:07.405 --> 00:05:11.033
Those who push the boundaries of science,
what they not all poets?

00:05:11.534 --> 00:05:12.618
I'm certain

00:05:12.785 --> 00:05:15.997
that as we speak here today,
that somewhere in this country,

00:05:16.205 --> 00:05:18.291
a budding Leonardo Da Vinci

00:05:18.499 --> 00:05:20.793
is gaining up for the challenge.

00:05:22.394 --> 00:05:23.394
Thank you very much.

00:05:25.882 --> 00:05:26.883
Oh God ...

00:05:31.492 --> 00:05:31.992
Hello.

00:05:32.513 --> 00:05:35.391
Sir, I am the Leonardo from Montana.

00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:37.518
Oh yeah? What you are going to do?

00:05:37.727 --> 00:05:39.312
I accept the challenge.

00:05:40.605 --> 00:05:41.731
You do?

00:06:05.504 --> 00:06:07.924
<i> One afternoon in August,
the phone rang </i>

00:06:08.132 --> 00:06:09.926
<i> while my sister Gracie and I </i>

00:06:10.134 --> 00:06:13.054
<i> on the porch, shredding sweet corn
into large metal buckets. </i>

00:06:18.518 --> 00:06:19.519
What?

00:06:21.103 --> 00:06:24.690
<i> the buckets were riddled with
bite marks dating back to last spring </i>

00:06:24.899 --> 00:06:27.735
<i> when our dog Tapioca got depressed </i>

00:06:27.944 --> 00:06:30.071
<i> and started eating metal. </i>

00:06:58.057 --> 00:06:59.559
Gracie, can you hold this for a second.

00:07:04.689 --> 00:07:06.315
This is what I predicted.

00:07:06.524 --> 00:07:08.234
Manticora herculeana

00:07:08.442 --> 00:07:11.487
is a subspecies of cicindeler.

00:07:12.572 --> 00:07:13.739
Who was at that called ?

00:07:13.948 --> 00:07:17.076
Same time,
has a heart at tip of the mandible

00:07:17.785 --> 00:07:20.329
doesn't seem to have a white spot on the electra.

00:07:20.538 --> 00:07:21.330
Mom?

00:07:22.373 --> 00:07:24.000
The phone, who was it?

00:07:25.585 --> 00:07:26.627
Oh, a call for T.S.

00:07:29.714 --> 00:07:31.257
A call for him?

00:07:34.135 --> 00:07:34.886
Who was it?

00:07:37.221 --> 00:07:38.514
I do not know.

00:07:38.973 --> 00:07:41.350
She is still in the line.
she is waiting.

00:07:42.059 --> 00:07:43.686
You should probably go.

00:07:44.645 --> 00:07:48.941
If you finish before I get back, count the
number of good ears and the number of bad ones.

00:07:49.734 --> 00:07:51.861
Why don't get the kernels,
while you're at it?

00:07:54.947 --> 00:07:57.533
<i> I had 3 options
to get to the phone. </i>

00:07:57.825 --> 00:07:59.702
<i> The corridor / kitchen way, </i>

00:07:59.911 --> 00:08:02.330
<i>the quickest
but also the most boring. </i>

00:08:03.080 --> 00:08:05.708
<i> Upstairs /Downstairs route, </i>

00:08:05.917 --> 00:08:09.462
<i> but the shift in altitude made me nauseous.</i>

00:08:10.588 --> 00:08:13.341
<i> I opted for the third and
riskiest, </i>

00:08:13.466 --> 00:08:15.968
<i> particularly when father was working
around the house. </i>

00:08:18.679 --> 00:08:21.098
<i>The scent in room smelled like
whiskey stained leather.</i>

00:08:21.724 --> 00:08:23.434
<i> and moldy photographs.</i>

00:08:41.244 --> 00:08:42.995
<i> If you just closed your eyes, </i>

00:08:43.412 --> 00:08:45.998
<i> you could feel the dust forming onto your prairie </i>

00:08:46.207 --> 00:08:48.834
<i> after a cowboy posse cavalcade.</i>

00:08:51.045 --> 00:08:54.465
<i> Layton use this thing as setting room,
was the greatest thing since</i>

00:08:55.049 --> 00:08:56.676
<i> quirrell trees. </i>

00:09:07.854 --> 00:09:10.982
I would like to speak to T.S. Spivet,
this is Miss Jibsen,

00:09:11.315 --> 00:09:13.776
Under Secretary of the Smithsonian.

00:09:14.277 --> 00:09:15.403
Hold on.

00:09:17.154 --> 00:09:17.822
Father!

00:09:18.155 --> 00:09:19.156
Phone!

00:09:33.963 --> 00:09:36.090
My father is all yours, Ms. Jibsen.

00:09:36.215 --> 00:09:37.675
Hello, Mr. Spivet.

00:09:39.427 --> 00:09:40.595
Yes! My dad is listening.

00:09:42.763 --> 00:09:44.432
Could you hand him the phone please.

00:09:46.058 --> 00:09:48.519
No! My father is mute, Ms. Jibsen.

00:09:49.061 --> 00:09:52.523
He can hear you
but can only respond in sign language.

00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:54.984
I will translate everything for you.

00:09:57.445 --> 00:10:00.114
You are the T.S. Spivet

00:10:00.823 --> 00:10:03.868
that has just invent the magnetic wheel?

00:10:04.202 --> 00:10:06.287
One second. Father saying ...

00:10:06.704 --> 00:10:09.832
Yes, I only sent you the blueprints.

00:10:09.957 --> 00:10:12.376
Because , I didn't have the time to do it.

00:10:15.546 --> 00:10:17.173
The quest for perpetual movement!

00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:19.717
I mean, Its the Holy Grail of inventors ...

00:10:20.301 --> 00:10:23.554
Tell me Mr.Spivet, I take it you live
in Montana?

00:10:23.888 --> 00:10:25.223
Coppertop ranch.

00:10:25.431 --> 00:10:30.102
Longitude: 112° 44' 19".

00:10:30.311 --> 00:10:32.396
Latitude: 45° 44' 27".

00:10:34.607 --> 00:10:36.484
These are the coordinates to my bedroom.

00:10:38.444 --> 00:10:39.987
Wow! Clearly you have an eye for detail!

00:10:40.404 --> 00:10:41.822
which is a reckless ad for

00:10:42.031 --> 00:10:43.908
any great inventor.

00:10:44.659 --> 00:10:46.577
Father is asking:

00:10:46.786 --> 00:10:50.456
so you are the head of the Smithsonian?

00:10:51.123 --> 00:10:53.584
Well! Technically,
I'm the Under Secretary, but,

00:10:54.168 --> 00:10:55.920
many people would say I run the place.

00:10:57.161 --> 00:10:57.754
Wow

00:10:58.587 --> 00:10:59.268
Yeah.

00:11:03.266 --> 00:11:04.558
Look Mr.Spivet,

00:11:04.593 --> 00:11:05.888
your invention

00:11:06.472 --> 00:11:09.392
has won our prestigious Baird Award.

00:11:12.103 --> 00:11:14.313
Spencer Baird Award?

00:11:14.689 --> 00:11:15.898
Indeed.

00:11:16.566 --> 00:11:20.903
Our 150th anniversary gala
is in a week's time

00:11:21.112 --> 00:11:23.322
and this would be perfect oppurtunity
for you to

00:11:23.531 --> 00:11:25.408
You know
Make your acceptance speech.

00:11:27.989 --> 00:11:28.911
Of course, we would

00:11:29.412 --> 00:11:31.455
provide you with a
sign language interpreter.

00:11:33.916 --> 00:11:34.610
But ...

00:11:35.418 --> 00:11:36.586
I'll be in class.

00:11:37.336 --> 00:11:38.963
I go back to school on Monday.

00:11:39.922 --> 00:11:42.800
You must teach
at the University of Montana?

00:11:43.009 --> 00:11:45.678
A quick phone call to your president,
Jack Campbell,

00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:48.055
and it will be taken care of.
I mean,

00:11:49.098 --> 00:11:52.476
We are talking about
the Baird Award after all.

00:11:55.980 --> 00:11:57.231
<i> Prairie of Truth </i>

00:11:58.065 --> 00:11:59.650
<i> Mountain of Lies </i>

00:12:08.910 --> 00:12:10.912
I was just thinking.

00:12:12.121 --> 00:12:14.665
I can't come out to receive the Baird award.

00:12:16.167 --> 00:12:18.377
I have too much work to finish.

00:12:19.337 --> 00:12:20.504
Thanks anyway.

00:12:20.823 --> 00:12:21.881
Have a good day.

00:12:28.763 --> 00:12:30.056
What are you doing?

00:12:30.890 --> 00:12:32.308
What do you think I am doing?

00:12:33.809 --> 00:12:35.061
You are going to mess up my dataset.

00:12:37.188 --> 00:12:38.606
You're in there for like 15 hours.

00:12:38.814 --> 00:12:40.066
Who was that?

00:12:41.859 --> 00:12:44.570
A journalist ... From New York.

00:12:44.779 --> 00:12:47.657
Wants me to go there
for an interview about my work.

00:12:49.033 --> 00:12:50.910
<i> Inside Gracie's  cortex</i>

00:12:51.118 --> 00:12:53.746
Just laugh in his face, its the only way to deal with this.

00:12:53.913 --> 00:12:56.165
Clearly he is making it up.

00:12:56.415 --> 00:12:57.833
And if it were true?

00:12:58.125 --> 00:13:01.003
You mean this total spass leaving
Montana before us?

00:13:01.212 --> 00:13:03.172
Would it be so bad to be a celebrity sister?

00:13:03.381 --> 00:13:06.259
This total dork, invited to New York ...

00:13:06.717 --> 00:13:08.219
for an interview?

00:13:09.193 --> 00:13:10.179
You're full crap.

00:13:10.346 --> 00:13:13.391
I told her I can't come,
cause' classes are again monday,

00:13:13.599 --> 00:13:15.059
but she was insisting.

00:13:17.395 --> 00:13:19.313
What did I do to god for hate me?
It's like

00:13:19.647 --> 00:13:21.858
"Here, Gracie, I found you
a family full of nutjobs,"

00:13:22.066 --> 00:13:24.443
"And you are gonna live in no worse in Montana"

00:13:24.652 --> 00:13:27.363
"and your brother, who is a
total spat"

00:13:27.572 --> 00:13:28.656
"is going to New York!"

00:13:28.865 --> 00:13:31.826
I told you I am not going
I've got a school.

00:13:32.243 --> 00:13:34.453
News fash crazy
New Yorkers loves spatters

00:13:34.662 --> 00:13:35.788
Its kind of a new trend!.

00:13:35.997 --> 00:13:37.206
<i> Too late. </i>

00:13:37.415 --> 00:13:38.749
<i>Any chance you've got</i>

00:13:38.958 --> 00:13:43.045
<i> she wallowed in the role of the
misunderstood actress</i>

00:13:48.634 --> 00:13:53.431
<i> She landed the lead in a retro
anti establishment theater piece. </i>

00:14:18.164 --> 00:14:19.373
<i> But that night, </i>

00:14:19.582 --> 00:14:22.960
<i> I was busy working on a challenge
set by Discover magazine</i>

00:14:23.169 --> 00:14:25.296
<i> "How to drop an egg from the top"</i>

00:14:25.504 --> 00:14:28.216
<i> "of the Empire State Building
without breaking it. "</i>

00:14:34.764 --> 00:14:38.768
<i>Inorder to finish my project
and get out of saying Gracie's blain, </i>

00:14:38.976 --> 00:14:40.853
<i> I had to end this Tapioca to the rest field. </i>

00:14:57.119 --> 00:14:59.956
<i> One night, in a Bette Davis face, </i>

00:15:00.164 --> 00:15:02.542
<i> Gracie launched into a heated diatribe </i>

00:15:02.750 --> 00:15:04.961
<i> about father's museum setting hall. </i>

00:15:06.587 --> 00:15:10.424
Is it even conceivable that the cowboy museum
or rather, mausoleum

00:15:10.633 --> 00:15:12.677
could be turned into a normal living room

00:15:12.885 --> 00:15:14.303
where normal people

00:15:14.512 --> 00:15:16.806
could relax and have normal conversation?

00:15:24.522 --> 00:15:26.899
<i> My father, Tecumseh Elijah Spivet, </i>

00:15:27.108 --> 00:15:28.901
<i> was born 100 years too late. </i>

00:15:29.777 --> 00:15:33.447
<i> He had the soul, stature,
and mindset of a cowboy. </i>

00:15:34.407 --> 00:15:36.576
<i> For him talking was a necessary chore, </i>

00:15:36.784 --> 00:15:38.411
<i> as shoeing a horse. </i>

00:15:39.161 --> 00:15:42.456
<i>Cellphone reception was nowhere
to be found at coppertop ranch</i>

00:15:42.707 --> 00:15:44.959
<i> and father refused to install a telephone</i>

00:15:45.167 --> 00:15:46.544
<i> in Gracie's room. </i>

00:15:47.044 --> 00:15:48.671
And you heard in the voice?

00:15:49.088 --> 00:15:50.548
Her looks.

00:15:51.841 --> 00:15:55.595
Yeah, its no wonder in history of Miss America
pagents Miss Montana never won.

00:15:55.803 --> 00:15:57.847
Except, the worst selection ever!

00:15:58.806 --> 00:16:00.641
<i> every night in his setting room </i>

00:16:01.267 --> 00:16:02.977
<i> father took off his boots </i>

00:16:03.436 --> 00:16:05.479
<i> and muttering some cryptic statements </i>

00:16:05.688 --> 00:16:08.024
<i> after raising glass of
whiskey upto his lips </i>

00:16:08.232 --> 00:16:10.401
<i> precisely every 45 seconds. </i>

00:16:16.657 --> 00:16:18.659
a conversion from a cricket.

00:16:19.452 --> 00:16:20.828
<i> crickets and insects, </i>

00:16:21.037 --> 00:16:22.788
<i> were my mother's specialty. </i>

00:16:25.833 --> 00:16:28.419
<i> Dr Clair spent most of her adult life </i>

00:16:28.628 --> 00:16:30.755
<i> studying tiny creatures with the
magnifying glass, </i>

00:16:31.631 --> 00:16:34.091
<i> then classifying them into species ... </i>

00:16:34.300 --> 00:16:35.676
<i> and subspecies. </i>

00:16:36.636 --> 00:16:38.387
What if it doesn't exist?

00:16:43.768 --> 00:16:45.978
I mean, for a year now,
you stopped everything

00:16:46.145 --> 00:16:48.272
to prove that tigermonk cicindele's exist

00:16:48.481 --> 00:16:49.899
Stopped everything?

00:16:50.107 --> 00:16:51.442
What do you mean, in a

00:16:51.651 --> 00:16:53.945
maternal sense or a scientific one?

00:16:56.656 --> 00:16:58.658
What is it that you want me
to start doing again?

00:16:58.866 --> 00:17:00.076
Or else I stopped doing?

00:17:02.286 --> 00:17:03.037
I don't know.

00:17:03.788 --> 00:17:06.707
Your research on the
parasitic scolyte catepiller maybe?

00:17:07.208 --> 00:17:09.919
Your findings could've saved
all the pine trees in Montana.

00:17:10.253 --> 00:17:12.296
Every other scientific attempt
have failed.

00:17:12.838 --> 00:17:13.756
Failed?

00:17:14.298 --> 00:17:16.259
Form the ecologists
point of view, maybe.

00:17:16.467 --> 00:17:17.927
But from the caterpillar's
point of view,

00:17:18.135 --> 00:17:19.720
looks like a win win situation.

00:17:20.805 --> 00:17:22.682
Anyway I never liked pine trees.

00:17:22.890 --> 00:17:24.433
They're dripy and sticky.

00:17:24.934 --> 00:17:26.978
Some things are just meant to die.

00:17:28.729 --> 00:17:31.983
<i> How my parents ever fell for each other
is a mystery. </i>

00:17:34.318 --> 00:17:36.654
<i> They were like day and night. </i>

00:17:48.791 --> 00:17:51.002
The human head lice,
Pediculus humanus capitis

00:17:51.210 --> 00:17:52.795
belong to the Anoplura family.

00:17:53.296 --> 00:17:55.464
A. N. O. P. L. U. R. A.

00:17:56.591 --> 00:17:58.134
T.S., When you drawing the legs,

00:17:58.342 --> 00:18:01.888
make sure you observe not just how many there are
but the exact distance between them.

00:18:02.263 --> 00:18:04.557
Yeah. The exact distance
between them.

00:18:06.309 --> 00:18:08.144
Beware of mediocrity,

00:18:08.352 --> 00:18:10.146
its the fungus of the mind.

00:18:10.354 --> 00:18:12.023
We must constantly fight
against it

00:18:12.231 --> 00:18:13.733
or creeping to everything we do.

00:18:14.692 --> 00:18:15.568
Darn!

00:18:17.195 --> 00:18:18.571
Those got away.

00:18:20.471 --> 00:18:21.725
A lasso to catch him.

00:18:25.328 --> 00:18:26.495
Thanks, Dad.

00:18:26.704 --> 00:18:30.204
A fool, by definition is the one who turns,
what is beyond his middle grasp,

00:18:30.204 --> 00:18:31.959
will do one big joke.

00:18:35.755 --> 00:18:39.091
<i> Then a few days later,
at the end of the hallway, </i>

00:18:39.258 --> 00:18:41.469
<i> their hands brushed against
each other, </i>

00:18:42.303 --> 00:18:45.640
<i> as if they were secretly exchanging
a few seeds. </i>

00:19:16.879 --> 00:19:18.506
<i> And then there was Layton, </i>

00:19:18.714 --> 00:19:20.550
<i> my dizygotic twin. </i>

00:19:20.758 --> 00:19:24.095
<i> That's when two sperm cells
fertilize two seperate eggs. </i>

00:19:24.303 --> 00:19:26.305
<i>To each his own embryo </i>

00:19:26.514 --> 00:19:28.558
<i>To each his own lucky star</i>

00:19:28.766 --> 00:19:31.894
<i> Layton got the height
and I got the neurons. </i>

00:19:40.642 --> 00:19:42.194
Mom!
Yeah!

00:19:43.990 --> 00:19:45.241
Have you ever gotten AIDS?

00:19:46.811 --> 00:19:48.311
What?!

00:19:49.120 --> 00:19:52.248
Angela Ashworth says AIDS are bad
and you probably have them.

00:19:55.751 --> 00:19:59.297
Well! next time,
you just tell Angela Ashworth

00:19:59.505 --> 00:20:02.383
Just because she feels insecure
about being a little girl

00:20:02.592 --> 00:20:06.804
in a society that puts an anointed amount of pressure
on moment to the baptism physical standard

00:20:07.013 --> 00:20:08.890
it doesn't mean that she had to take out her

00:20:09.056 --> 00:20:11.851
misplaced self loathing
on a nicer boy like you.

00:20:12.059 --> 00:20:15.229
You may be an inherent part of the problem,
but, certainly doesn't mean you have AIDS.

00:20:16.147 --> 00:20:18.733
I'm not sure I can remember all that.

00:20:20.276 --> 00:20:22.320
Well, just tell her ... she's fat.

00:20:24.056 --> 00:20:25.056
OK.

00:20:25.656 --> 00:20:29.076
<i> But Layton died last year doing an accident
with the gun in the old bar.</i>

00:20:34.290 --> 00:20:36.167
<i> I don't know what went wrong.</i>

00:20:36.375 --> 00:20:38.794
<i> I was there too.
Measuring gun shots. </i>

00:20:43.883 --> 00:20:45.676
<i> No one ever talked about it.</i>

00:20:47.553 --> 00:20:48.721
<i> No one.</i>

00:20:51.724 --> 00:20:52.558
Not bad.

00:20:53.017 --> 00:20:55.102
Except that we have to go over
this a little bit.

00:20:56.979 --> 00:20:59.148
Daisy ... B +.

00:20:59.815 --> 00:21:00.816
Solid work.

00:21:01.317 --> 00:21:04.737
Excellent illustrations
of the lake formation process.

00:21:07.323 --> 00:21:08.241
T.S. .. C +.

00:21:10.284 --> 00:21:12.954
Report shows
undeniable qualities,

00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:15.748
but as usual, is way off subject.

00:21:16.415 --> 00:21:19.085
What does the formation of lakes in Montana
have anything to do

00:21:19.293 --> 00:21:22.713
with the east-west migratory pattern
of Canadian Geese.

00:21:24.924 --> 00:21:26.884
Sir, I'm not sure
if you read the introduction ...But I

00:21:27.093 --> 00:21:28.844
You think you're the smarter than
everyone else, don't you?

00:21:30.638 --> 00:21:32.807
As for the diagram,
its very pretty

00:21:32.974 --> 00:21:34.684
but scientifically erroneous.

00:21:35.434 --> 00:21:36.519
Really, Sir?

00:21:37.103 --> 00:21:38.896
Bacause I sent it to the
Discover Magazine

00:21:39.856 --> 00:21:42.567
and ... they like it, and they publish it.

00:21:48.497 --> 00:21:51.284
Do not play games with me, T.S.

00:21:52.870 --> 00:21:54.662
You're out of your league.

00:21:56.414 --> 00:21:58.916
And what about the magnetic wheel?

00:21:59.125 --> 00:22:00.710
Didn't mention anything
about that.

00:22:01.085 --> 00:22:03.880
I dont give a a rat's ass about
the magnetic wheel

00:22:04.881 --> 00:22:07.300
Mr. Stenpock,
how can a man like you,

00:22:07.508 --> 00:22:11.012
supposed to open our minds
through scientific curiosity,

00:22:11.220 --> 00:22:13.014
How can you be so aggresively narrow minded?

00:22:13.222 --> 00:22:14.891
Every scientists were like you

00:22:15.099 --> 00:22:16.142
The will be no penicillin,

00:22:16.309 --> 00:22:17.268
no relativity,

00:22:17.476 --> 00:22:18.352
or sewer trains,

00:22:18.561 --> 00:22:20.563
Know what it would be,
no chocolates or cookies!

00:22:23.357 --> 00:22:26.194
Superiority complex,
this is what you have. T.S.

00:22:26.900 --> 00:22:29.864
Your talents in scientific observations
would be put to better use

00:22:30.031 --> 00:22:32.200
in picking your socks in the morning.

00:22:48.925 --> 00:22:50.635
Lend me a hand for a second?

00:22:55.556 --> 00:22:56.557
What's your need?

00:22:56.766 --> 00:22:58.559
Settle out the creak.
Its drying among its pockets.

00:22:58.768 --> 00:23:01.187
We'll get her spit up all
she has got before sunset.

00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:03.200
Com'on.

00:23:14.450 --> 00:23:17.995
<i>To know that my father had to resort
to ask me help from me, </i>

00:23:18.120 --> 00:23:20.248
<i> his only remaining son</i>

00:23:20.540 --> 00:23:22.750
<i> The one who is used to saw in the ranch</i>

00:23:22.917 --> 00:23:24.961
<i> filled me with sadness. </i>

00:23:29.966 --> 00:23:32.843
<i>Layton should have been here,
not me. </i>

00:23:34.095 --> 00:23:38.933
<i> One day, he shot a coyote with his
Winchester from 200 yards. </i>

00:23:39.225 --> 00:23:41.143
<i> Father was so impressed.</i>

00:23:41.310 --> 00:23:44.355
<i> He took off his hat and slapped
it on my brother's head. </i>

00:23:45.273 --> 00:23:47.024
<i> It was a special moment. </i>

00:23:47.191 --> 00:23:49.569
<i> I knew it would never happen to me. </i>

00:23:52.488 --> 00:23:54.532
She is still runnin a bit last week.

00:23:54.740 --> 00:23:56.367
There's no back for got some juice.

00:23:59.871 --> 00:24:02.123
Like the... the crickets teasing me.

00:24:06.878 --> 00:24:08.713
<i> Couple of months earlier, </i>

00:24:08.921 --> 00:24:12.550
<i>I had built a scale model
depicting the hydrology of our valley. </i>

00:24:13.217 --> 00:24:17.471
<i>You could see the various water tables,
drainage trenchs, soil compositions</i>

00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:19.515
<i> and sweepage capacity.</i>

00:24:35.907 --> 00:24:37.617
Dad! You wanna give it a look?

00:24:48.711 --> 00:24:50.421
See... If you dig from here to there,

00:24:51.005 --> 00:24:52.757
the water will be channeled
to there.

00:24:53.299 --> 00:24:55.635
thereby increasing the flow of water,

00:24:55.843 --> 00:25:00.014
those thereby stagnating and evaporating.

00:25:00.223 --> 00:25:02.517
'Cause the laws of fluid mechanics,

00:25:02.725 --> 00:25:03.601
make it unstoppable.

00:25:03.809 --> 00:25:05.770
You asked me I was just pissing the can.

00:25:06.479 --> 00:25:08.189
Open your eyes, you'll see that.

00:25:24.914 --> 00:25:26.791
That ignorant goats.

00:25:27.375 --> 00:25:29.460
Don't worry, I've got it.

00:25:30.086 --> 00:25:32.255
Right.

00:25:38.135 --> 00:25:40.638
So this used to be coyote chow.

00:25:45.101 --> 00:25:47.311
It's okay, Stinky, Don't worry.

00:25:47.520 --> 00:25:48.980
I am not gonna hurt you.
Don't worry.

00:25:55.820 --> 00:25:57.697
<i>Maybe dying on a ranch
from a snakebite,</i>

00:25:58.614 --> 00:26:00.366
<i> is more befitting than a
self inflicted</i>

00:26:00.575 --> 00:26:02.368
<i> gunshot going to the head </i>

00:26:02.577 --> 00:26:05.037
<i> by an old rifle
in a cold barn. </i>

00:26:09.458 --> 00:26:11.878
Fixing on kissing that poison rope?

00:26:17.383 --> 00:26:19.510
We still got our bussiness day,isn't it?

00:26:24.223 --> 00:26:27.768
<i> That was the first time
my father ever patted me on the back, </i>

00:26:29.103 --> 00:26:32.648
<i> but I couldn't tell who was to brush me off,
to reprimand me</i>

00:26:32.857 --> 00:26:34.609
<i> or a substitute for a hug.</i>

00:26:44.827 --> 00:26:47.079
<i> I would go to Washington DC tomorrow. </i>

00:26:47.288 --> 00:26:49.498
<i> I was a researcher, scientist, </i>

00:26:49.707 --> 00:26:51.584
<i> and they needed me there. </i>

00:26:51.792 --> 00:26:53.294
<i> If I stayed here, </i>

00:26:53.502 --> 00:26:55.338
<i> I end up turning around in circles, </i>

00:26:55.546 --> 00:26:56.923
<i> like these bats. </i>

00:26:57.840 --> 00:27:00.426
<i> I only do the echo of myself. </i>

00:27:18.277 --> 00:27:19.779
What's for dinner tonight?

00:27:20.404 --> 00:27:21.656
Puree Corn.

00:27:24.116 --> 00:27:27.370
Hey T.S, can you take up
my dish washing duties tonight?

00:27:27.578 --> 00:27:29.038
I will make it upto you, I swear... Its...

00:27:29.664 --> 00:27:32.208
Tonight, its Miss USA pagent,
and I really don't wanna miss the opening.

00:27:32.667 --> 00:27:34.126
You already owe me 4.

00:27:35.167 --> 00:27:36.198
Miss USA!

00:27:36.730 --> 00:27:38.422
And these women are picked for thier
talents on what exactly?

00:27:39.590 --> 00:27:40.383
Painting?

00:27:40.617 --> 00:27:41.259
Yoga?

00:27:41.842 --> 00:27:43.261
Karate, perhaps?

00:27:43.911 --> 00:27:44.911
No mom.

00:27:45.221 --> 00:27:47.807
Miss America
is only the "talent" portion.

00:27:47.974 --> 00:27:49.725
Miss USA is the beauty contest.

00:27:49.934 --> 00:27:50.601
It's way better.

00:27:50.810 --> 00:27:53.229
I still think its a mistake not to
take into consideration

00:27:53.437 --> 00:27:55.481
these girls intellectual attitudes.

00:27:56.107 --> 00:27:58.359
Mom, it's a beauty contest.

00:27:58.568 --> 00:27:59.861
It's Miss USA.

00:28:00.069 --> 00:28:01.445
Otherwise, it would be called
Miss High I.Q.

00:28:01.654 --> 00:28:02.864
Which no one would watch,

00:28:03.072 --> 00:28:04.115
because it would be boring,

00:28:04.323 --> 00:28:05.741
like my life!

00:28:07.410 --> 00:28:08.786
I'm sorry Gracie, but ...

00:28:09.662 --> 00:28:12.248
you know what it,.. if you were
to enter this kind of contest

00:28:12.456 --> 00:28:13.541
It would be a mistake not to

00:28:13.791 --> 00:28:16.210
showcase your talents as an actress...
and as a singer

00:28:16.419 --> 00:28:18.671
you have a pretty voice ...
and you play the hobo.

00:28:32.185 --> 00:28:34.353
I have to go to
Kalispell tomorrow

00:28:34.562 --> 00:28:36.314
to collect specimens

00:28:36.772 --> 00:28:38.107
It'll be a few days.

00:28:38.774 --> 00:28:41.986
I prepared all of your meals, so,
all you have to do is reheat them.

00:28:43.988 --> 00:28:44.906
Good deal.

00:28:57.126 --> 00:28:59.378
I've been thinking about what you told
me the other day.

00:28:59.587 --> 00:29:01.047
about what I used to do

00:29:01.255 --> 00:29:02.423
that I stopped doing.

00:29:02.632 --> 00:29:04.508
And I was wondering ...

00:29:04.717 --> 00:29:06.802
will you come with me to Kalispell?

00:29:07.345 --> 00:29:08.721
I would be great to have your help.

00:29:09.722 --> 00:29:11.682
Mom, it's entertainment.

00:29:12.058 --> 00:29:14.227
Entertainment!

00:29:21.943 --> 00:29:23.194
You thought about
what I asked you?

00:29:25.363 --> 00:29:27.990
Sorry, I cant come with you
to Kalispell tomorrow.

00:29:31.118 --> 00:29:34.288
I have to finish a project for Mr. Stenpock.

00:29:37.542 --> 00:29:40.545
Next time,
I'll try and give you a notice.

00:30:15.872 --> 00:30:19.542
You reached the Office of Ms. Jibsen,
please leave a message.

I have some good news.

Mr.T.S. Spivet has managed to
rearrange his schedule.

00:30:28.885 --> 00:30:31.971
So, He will be leaving...first thing tomorrow.
He will not be reachable,

00:30:32.179 --> 00:30:34.182
but will make just in time to
accept the baird award

00:30:34.390 --> 00:30:35.391
and make his speech or not.

00:30:35.600 --> 00:30:37.685
Good night. I mean good morning...

00:30:38.644 --> 00:30:41.564
Hey...I do not if
you're aware anything, but ...

00:30:42.148 --> 00:30:43.983
you are talking
to a garbage can.

00:30:49.697 --> 00:30:51.449
<i> The four steps of packing</i>

00:30:52.033 --> 00:30:54.994
<i> I was terrified at the thought of
having to pack my suitcase.</i>

00:30:55.203 --> 00:30:56.454
<i> Even packing for school everyday, </i>

00:30:56.662 --> 00:30:58.789
<i> took me at the very least 23 min. </i>

00:30:59.040 --> 00:31:01.000
Maybe 22 min.

00:31:01.209 --> 00:31:04.295
<i> 1 - Play and replay the scenario

I'll be away for a while to Washington D.C.

00:32:46.606 --> 00:32:48.441
I'll bring you back a souvenir.

00:32:53.196 --> 00:32:55.114
I'm sorry for what I did.

<i> I do not want to bother you

Hello.

00:33:56.551 --> 00:33:57.677
I'll miss you.

00:33:57.885 --> 00:33:59.011
Where are you going?

00:33:59.679 --> 00:34:01.639
To the Smithsonian in Washington D.C.

00:34:03.766 --> 00:34:05.560
It seems like everyone ends up

00:34:05.768 --> 00:34:07.687
leaving in this house.

00:34:09.522 --> 00:34:10.773
I'll be back.

00:35:02.325 --> 00:35:04.368
<i> Why had he not stopped? </i>

00:35:05.244 --> 00:35:08.372
<i> Because I was responsible for
his favorite son's death</i>

<i> and I must be banished from the ranch. </i>

00:35:11.167 --> 00:35:12.126
<i>Thats why.</i>

You're officially a hobo now?

Well, incase you haven't noticed,

00:40:12.635 --> 00:40:16.722
I'm heading a freight train right,
on my way to Washington D.C.

00:40:16.931 --> 00:40:19.600
And..What's an adventurer
never leave aside?

00:40:20.309 --> 00:40:23.020
His knife, his magnifying glass,

his maps, his whip

00:40:26.107 --> 00:40:27.316
and his hat.

00:40:28.734 --> 00:40:30.653
But, You have forgotten the whip.

00:40:31.863 --> 00:40:34.782

- Me too. I'm glad you're here.

70 000 miles, to end up in the
stomach of a goat?

00:41:06.898 --> 00:41:09.734
It's just the ignorant Montana goats.
They dont know any better.

00:41:10.359 --> 00:41:13.362
Oh..well..If you can't manage your karate goats,
maybe you should consider another line of work!

00:41:13.571 --> 00:41:16.908
If that's what you think,
you know, set the plate at the table for me.

00:41:17.867 --> 00:41:21.579
If that's what you think,
you know, set my plate at the table.

<i> A melancholy feeling came over me,

<i> The motorhome was pointed backwards, </i>

00:45:19.942 --> 00:45:23.070
<i> So, I had that depressing feeling
that I was traveling in reverse.</i>

This is your first time?
Yes.

00:47:28.571 --> 00:47:29.655
"Two Clouds".

00:47:30.531 --> 00:47:32.283
"Two Clouds", that's my name.

00:47:32.491 --> 00:47:33.534
I am T.S.

00:47:33.743 --> 00:47:36.537
T for Tecumseh
S for Sparrow

00:47:37.330 --> 00:47:39.665
Sparrow, as in the bird?

00:47:39.729 --> 00:47:41.286
Yes.

00:47:41.292 --> 00:47:44.962
At the moment on my birth,
a sparrow crashed through the window

00:47:45.171 --> 00:47:47.632
and died right down
kitchen floor.

00:47:48.424 --> 00:47:49.383
Follow me.

00:47:59.727 --> 00:48:00.811
Step on it.

00:48:01.729 --> 00:48:02.563
Com'on!

00:48:21.249 --> 00:48:25.044
You know why the right sole
is more worn out than the left one?

00:48:26.170 --> 00:48:28.589
Because one of your legs is
shorter than the other?

00:48:28.923 --> 00:48:32.885
Nope. Because these shoes belong
to Johnny Cash

00:48:33.094 --> 00:48:34.720
He always kept the beat.

00:48:38.224 --> 00:48:41.602
You think the dead sparrow in your kitchen
right when you were born

00:48:41.811 --> 00:48:44.021
is a more credible story?

00:48:45.439 --> 00:48:46.941
That's what mom told me.

00:48:48.150 --> 00:48:50.945
Your mother gave birth in the kitchen?

00:48:55.616 --> 00:48:56.659
You see?

00:48:56.993 --> 00:48:57.952
What?

00:48:58.619 --> 00:48:59.787
The Sparrow.

00:49:00.830 --> 00:49:01.956
Once Upon a time

00:49:02.248 --> 00:49:04.458
there was a sparrow that was very ill

00:49:04.667 --> 00:49:06.711
didn't have the strength to go south.

00:49:06.919 --> 00:49:08.880
Go without me, he told his children.

00:49:09.547 --> 00:49:11.549
I'll find shelter from the cold

00:49:11.757 --> 00:49:13.926
and I'll see you in spring.

00:49:18.598 --> 00:49:19.557
So, did he survive?

00:49:20.433 --> 00:49:22.852
The bird went to an oak tree

00:49:23.060 --> 00:49:26.063
and asked if he could take shelter
in his leaves.

00:49:26.272 --> 00:49:30.735
But the oak was,
the cold and arrogant tree,.. he refused.

00:49:31.360 --> 00:49:33.196
The peach,.. the aspen,

00:49:33.362 --> 00:49:34.572
the willow, the elm,

00:49:34.739 --> 00:49:37.283
they all said no, can you believe this?

00:49:37.575 --> 00:49:38.492
I guess.

00:49:39.452 --> 00:49:41.954
Don't answer the question...
It's part of the story...

00:49:42.705 --> 00:49:43.831
Sorry!..

00:49:44.582 --> 00:49:47.585
Then the first snows came.

00:49:47.844 --> 00:49:51.297
The sparrow took a last chance
with the pine tree, who said:

00:49:51.464 --> 00:49:53.466
I can't offer you much protection,

00:49:53.743 --> 00:49:55.927
I only have needles that let in draft

00:49:56.844 --> 00:49:59.263
But my answer is ...

00:50:00.473 --> 00:50:01.474
Yes.

00:50:02.600 --> 00:50:05.645
Overjoyed, the sparrow took refuge there

00:50:06.020 --> 00:50:07.396
and you know what?

00:50:10.858 --> 00:50:12.527
He survived the winter.

00:50:12.985 --> 00:50:15.988
The children returned and
wept tears of joy.

00:50:16.197 --> 00:50:20.910
Upon seeing this, the Creator decided to
punish all the other trees for their selfishness.

00:50:21.118 --> 00:50:22.203
From that day on,

00:50:22.954 --> 00:50:25.998
every tree lost
it's leaves in winter,

00:50:26.207 --> 00:50:29.585
except the pine,
who saved the sparrow.

00:50:32.255 --> 00:50:35.091
My grandmother
told me this story.

00:50:37.385 --> 00:50:39.303
Had you ever heard it before?

00:50:42.974 --> 00:50:44.934
You can answer now.

00:50:45.142 --> 00:50:46.477
Story is finished!

00:50:49.355 --> 00:50:50.940
The story is very pretty.

00:50:52.525 --> 00:50:55.778
But, the insulating properties of
pine needles

00:50:56.112 --> 00:50:58.614
could not release the heat to create
a warm enough cocoon

00:50:58.823 --> 00:51:01.117
for a bird the size of a sparrow.

00:51:01.534 --> 00:51:03.494
Your grandmother lied to you.

00:51:08.895 --> 00:51:11.294
So where were you headed, T.S.?

00:51:11.752 --> 00:51:14.005
To buy me a hot dog.

00:51:14.213 --> 00:51:16.549
The old sea dog!

00:51:19.468 --> 00:51:21.178
Captain's Choice!..
Huh!..

00:51:23.306 --> 00:51:25.892
Quickly, it close in fifteen minutes.

00:51:27.685 --> 00:51:29.061
Bye, Sparrow!..

00:51:29.270 --> 00:51:30.855
See you, Bye!

00:51:31.147 --> 00:51:33.357
I'm sure you will find your tree.

00:51:33.566 --> 00:51:34.775
You too!

00:51:35.818 --> 00:51:36.903
<i> Dr. Clair ... </i>

00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:39.822
<i> this time, you can't stop me. </i>

00:51:51.959 --> 00:51:54.545
And what is the reason behind this embargo?

00:51:56.088 --> 00:51:59.425
T.S., Do you know where this smell
of those marvellous sausages comes from?

00:51:59.634 --> 00:52:02.345
It's from a smell factory,
on the New Jersey Turnpike.

00:52:02.553 --> 00:52:04.931
It was carefully designed and
artificially synthesized

00:52:05.139 --> 00:52:07.683
to maximize their desirability.

00:52:07.892 --> 00:52:08.893
Do you like it one?

00:52:09.685 --> 00:52:11.062
A drink with that?

00:52:11.479 --> 00:52:12.438
Sure, Is that included?

00:52:12.605 --> 00:52:13.648
Yeah, sure.

00:52:14.023 --> 00:52:15.566
I'm gonna give you straw.

00:52:15.816 --> 00:52:18.736
and one of my best hot dogs,
I hope you like it.

00:52:20.196 --> 00:52:21.239
Hi Marj.

00:52:22.114 --> 00:52:23.115
I want you to look at this.

00:52:23.324 --> 00:52:24.742
Some kid out of Montana

00:52:24.951 --> 00:52:27.411
ran away or got himself kidnapped
or something.

00:52:27.620 --> 00:52:28.788
Can I know where to put that?

00:52:28.996 --> 00:52:31.165
- Hmm.. just put up on the board.
- Thanks

00:52:41.092 --> 00:52:43.177
I know someone
who ain't gonna be happy with you...

00:52:44.929 --> 00:52:45.930
your mom!.

00:52:47.473 --> 00:52:48.766
Just kiddin', young man.

00:52:49.225 --> 00:52:52.645
But if you eat a hot dog before your dinner,
you ain't gonna hungry for the soup she made ya.

00:52:53.396 --> 00:52:55.982
I don't hav a mother around.
My parents are dead.

00:52:58.860 --> 00:53:00.319
You take care little guy.

00:53:00.528 --> 00:53:01.612
You see what happens

00:53:01.821 --> 00:53:03.656
to kids that go astray?

00:53:29.015 --> 00:53:29.974
My son!

00:53:30.183 --> 00:53:31.684
You have been kidnapped?

00:53:32.059 --> 00:53:34.562
Oh! Thank God! What a relief.

00:53:34.770 --> 00:53:37.148
Baby, baby, you know,
you're right,

00:53:37.356 --> 00:53:39.609
I've been wasting my time
certain cicindele...

00:53:39.817 --> 00:53:42.570
Son, we still got a
situation with the creek.

00:53:42.778 --> 00:53:44.447
You're spot on with that covert.

00:53:44.655 --> 00:53:47.366
What you say come right back,
and, and we work on your plans together.

00:53:47.575 --> 00:53:50.995
T.S., you have to come home
'cause you said you'll make my Halloween costume.

00:53:51.204 --> 00:53:51.937
Com'on baby!.

00:54:35.456 --> 00:54:37.625
<i> May be somewhere
in one of these houses </i>

00:54:37.833 --> 00:54:40.920
<i> a boy just woke up
from the sound of my train. </i>

00:54:41.963 --> 00:54:42.964
<i>Maybe he is wondering</i>

00:54:43.172 --> 00:54:45.967
<i> what it would be like to climb aboard
and cross the desert. </i>

00:54:48.844 --> 00:54:51.764
<i>God' I just want
to switch places with him </i>

00:54:51.973 --> 00:54:55.142
<i> and just watch the train
go awaying to the unknown. </i>

00:54:57.937 --> 00:54:59.355
<i> I had to admit it.</i>

00:54:59.605 --> 00:55:01.899
<i> I was not a careless drifter, </i>

00:55:02.733 --> 00:55:06.487
<i> just a tiny old boy,
who ran away from home. </i>

00:55:08.197 --> 00:55:11.367
<i> Any more or less,
Can I assume be peeing on my sofa, </i>

00:55:11.576 --> 00:55:13.119
<i> like when I was little </i>

00:55:13.327 --> 00:55:16.664
<i> and afraid of a
Jack O'Lantern's deadly fangs. </i>

00:56:39.789 --> 00:56:41.666
<i> Layton Age 6.</i>

00:56:43.042 --> 00:56:44.919
<i> T.S. Age 6.</i>

00:56:59.392 --> 00:57:03.479
<i> Patterns of cross talk and directional eyelines by T.S. Spivet. </i>

00:57:03.688 --> 00:57:07.650
<i> Frequency of father's eye contact
to T.S. : Nil</i>

00:57:08.067 --> 00:57:08.985
<i> Why? </i>

00:57:09.485 --> 00:57:11.821
<i> Is it the T.S. is more like me? </i>

00:57:13.030 --> 00:57:14.782
<i> He doesn't like what I am. </i>

00:57:14.991 --> 00:57:16.450
<i> He doesn't love me. </i>

00:57:19.704 --> 00:57:20.955
Of course he loves you!

00:57:21.372 --> 00:57:22.665
You love each other!

00:57:24.375 --> 00:57:26.919
If we make a baby,
it means we love each other, right?

00:57:29.046 --> 00:57:31.549
And they had three babies.
Ain't that right?

00:57:42.143 --> 00:57:45.188
<i>I still catch myself haunting to wake
him up for school. </i>

00:58:03.372 --> 00:58:04.582
Sorry!..
Sorry.

00:58:06.042 --> 00:58:07.043
Stopped everything?

00:58:07.627 --> 00:58:10.421
What do you mean
in a maternal sense or a scientific one?

00:58:10.630 --> 00:58:12.757
<i> T.S. came to see me in my study,</i>

00:58:12.965 --> 00:58:15.426
<i> for the first time since the accident. </i>

00:58:17.428 --> 00:58:19.805
<i> I'm not really there for T.S. anymore...</i>

00:58:20.806 --> 00:58:22.934
<i> I'm like an empty house. </i>

00:58:55.841 --> 00:58:57.927
<i> Nature had vanished.</i>

00:58:59.762 --> 00:59:02.056
<i>Every millimeter of landscape </i>

00:59:02.181 --> 00:59:05.101
<i> was replaced by manmade constructions</i>

00:59:05.309 --> 00:59:06.769
<i> ruled by the laws of geometry. </i>

00:59:07.603 --> 00:59:10.773
<i> How could humans create
so many right angles </i>

00:59:11.065 --> 00:59:15.361
<i> when their behavior
is so convoluted and illogical? </i>

00:59:39.760 --> 00:59:41.470
See you, old sea dog.

00:59:44.265 --> 00:59:45.975
I'm sure you'll find
your pine tree.

01:00:27.350 --> 01:00:29.727
Playing hookey from kindergarten?

01:00:33.272 --> 01:00:34.398
I'm talking to you.

01:00:34.899 --> 01:00:35.691
No, sir.

01:00:35.816 --> 01:00:37.068
What you got in the bag?

01:00:37.443 --> 01:00:40.363
Spray paint? You vandalized in snitch,
you paint that silo?

01:00:41.405 --> 01:00:42.532
I love Chicago.

01:00:44.075 --> 01:00:44.724
What?

01:00:50.623 --> 01:00:53.501
Are you shitting me, snitch? Where you from?

01:00:54.544 --> 01:00:55.586
Chernobyl.

01:00:56.865 --> 01:00:58.273
Oh, Yeah!.. Well,

01:00:59.632 --> 01:01:01.050
You little shit!

01:01:03.219 --> 01:01:04.887
Welcome to the
great state of Illinois.

01:01:05.096 --> 01:01:07.515
And I'm sure you're gonna get to know what
really well after I book you

01:01:07.723 --> 01:01:10.893
for tresspassing,
destruction of railroad priority.

01:01:11.143 --> 01:01:12.436
Railroad Property.

01:01:13.813 --> 01:01:14.480
What?

01:01:14.772 --> 01:01:16.315
Property, You said priority.

01:01:17.900 --> 01:01:19.068
Get in the car!

01:01:24.574 --> 01:01:25.283
Gotch'ya!

01:02:00.526 --> 01:02:02.445
Look, it's moving!

01:02:04.155 --> 01:02:06.699
Ok, Snitch,..
End of the line.

01:02:07.074 --> 01:02:08.951
Thanks for the exercise, but ...

01:02:09.243 --> 01:02:10.244
lets go.

01:02:11.454 --> 01:02:14.081
What? What you gonna do?
You gonna Jump?

01:02:15.208 --> 01:02:16.667
Com'on. Don't make me walk over there.

01:02:20.004 --> 01:02:21.881
Hang on, Hang on, kiddie! Allright!
Hang on,..

01:02:25.259 --> 01:02:26.427
Don't look down...
Don't look down.

01:02:27.595 --> 01:02:28.471
Get your foot up.
com'on.

01:02:28.638 --> 01:02:30.473
Come on, You can do it,
come on!

01:02:31.111 --> 01:02:33.805
Get your foot up.
You can do it. You can do all up that,..God!..

01:02:33.840 --> 01:02:35.876
God!..Oh!
oh!..

01:02:44.195 --> 01:02:45.530
Oh! you little shit.

01:02:46.072 --> 01:02:47.156
You're very good!

01:02:47.365 --> 01:02:49.158
Hey!..You think you got away?..huh!

01:02:49.325 --> 01:02:51.118
Well done! Hey, over here!

01:02:52.370 --> 01:02:55.039
You think you got away with this.. huh?

01:02:55.040 --> 01:02:56.377
Is that what you thinking?
huh..

01:02:56.749 --> 01:02:58.334
No way, kid!

01:02:58.428 --> 01:03:00.545
listen to.., Snitch, look at me!

01:03:03.047 --> 01:03:06.384
Look me in the eye..What's the matter?
You don't wanna look in the eye?

01:03:06.592 --> 01:03:08.344
Right here! I'm gonna find you!

01:04:17.371 --> 01:04:19.790
How're doin', man?
You don't look so hot.

01:04:19.957 --> 01:04:20.606
I'm ok.

01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:22.793
I just fell down and hurt myself.

01:04:23.002 --> 01:04:25.129
Where you're heading for, like this, man?

01:04:26.214 --> 01:04:27.924
To the Smithsonian.

01:04:29.342 --> 01:04:29.991
Where?

01:04:31.135 --> 01:04:33.054
D.C. is in Washington, man.

01:04:50.613 --> 01:04:51.906
My name is Ricky.

01:04:53.199 --> 01:04:54.116
T.S.

01:04:54.325 --> 01:04:55.952
Put your seatbelt on, T.S.

01:05:06.420 --> 01:05:07.338
Show me.

01:05:10.967 --> 01:05:12.385
That's a real deal!

01:05:12.718 --> 01:05:14.220
Hurt when you breathe?

01:05:14.887 --> 01:05:18.599
You got maybe one, two broken ribs.
You seriously need to see a medic.

01:05:19.934 --> 01:05:21.686
No, I'll be okay.

01:05:23.354 --> 01:05:24.856
Tough little bugger, ain't you.

01:05:36.450 --> 01:05:38.870
Always take two pictures of hitchhikers.

01:05:39.078 --> 01:05:40.454
One when I pick'em up,

01:05:40.663 --> 01:05:42.373
one when I drop'em off.

01:05:51.173 --> 01:05:52.258
Even in the service,

01:05:52.425 --> 01:05:53.759
I was taking pictures.

01:05:54.427 --> 01:05:55.678
That guy,

01:05:55.845 --> 01:05:57.680
was a hitchhiker too?

01:05:58.764 --> 01:05:59.765
Well... Not exactly.

01:06:01.100 --> 01:06:02.435
What do you think?

01:06:02.852 --> 01:06:06.355
Join the army, see the world,
arresting people ...

01:06:06.981 --> 01:06:07.755
and kill'em.

01:06:43.100 --> 01:06:46.354
The East.

01:06:52.235 --> 01:06:53.486
Where are we?

01:06:54.153 --> 01:06:55.488
Not far from where you are headed.

01:07:08.042 --> 01:07:10.878
Not sure what you are looking for,
but don't change a thing.

01:07:11.087 --> 01:07:12.547
Steady in your boots.

01:07:12.797 --> 01:07:13.821
Good luck, man.

01:07:14.590 --> 01:07:17.969
I'm not sure what you are looking for either,
but you will sure find your pine tree, man.

01:07:52.378 --> 01:07:55.047
Young man?.. Are you alright?
Are you injured?

01:07:55.339 --> 01:07:57.425
Cathy, I need information.

01:07:57.925 --> 01:08:00.219
You look like you need medical assistance.

01:08:00.428 --> 01:08:02.430
I would like to speak with
Mrs. G. H. Jibsen, please.

01:08:03.180 --> 01:08:05.600
I'm here to give a speech tomorrow night.

01:08:08.060 --> 01:08:08.936
What's your name?

01:08:08.937 --> 01:08:11.480
T.S.Spivet.

01:08:18.529 --> 01:08:19.405
Just a moment.

01:08:20.990 --> 01:08:22.617
You're T.S. Spivet,

01:08:22.825 --> 01:08:25.161
or your father is  T.S. Spivet?

01:08:26.162 --> 01:08:28.402
I am  T.S. Spivet.

01:08:33.502 --> 01:08:36.797
He claims to be,
he actually is T.S. Spivet.

01:08:37.006 --> 01:08:39.091
He is 9 or 10 years older

01:08:39.300 --> 01:08:40.968
and very, very, very ...

01:08:41.093 --> 01:08:42.011
small.

01:08:42.845 --> 01:08:45.348
Alright, that would be wonderful,
thank you.

01:08:45.973 --> 01:08:48.184
Miss Jibsen is on her way down.

01:08:48.643 --> 01:08:50.811
You can have a seat over there.

01:09:03.324 --> 01:09:04.200
You're here?

01:09:07.119 --> 01:09:08.829
Never too far away you know.

01:09:09.413 --> 01:09:11.165
Yeah, I know.

01:09:12.333 --> 01:09:15.753
See!...
Made it to the Smithsonian.

01:09:20.466 --> 01:09:22.051
The worst is yet to come.

01:09:24.053 --> 01:09:25.304
Can help you, young man?

01:09:28.099 --> 01:09:29.267
Ms. Jibsen?

01:09:29.684 --> 01:09:30.852
Hello.

01:09:31.102 --> 01:09:34.313
I am T.S. Spivet. I made it here.

01:09:36.858 --> 01:09:40.194
You're the one I talked to in
the phone, last friday?

01:09:40.616 --> 01:09:41.616
Yes.

01:09:42.947 --> 01:09:44.365
So, where is your father?

01:09:45.199 --> 01:09:46.868
In fact, he is dead.

01:09:47.076 --> 01:09:48.703
I lied to you then.

01:09:51.747 --> 01:09:54.542
So, who sent me
the prototype of the magnet wheel?

01:09:55.209 --> 01:09:56.210
I did.

01:09:58.921 --> 01:10:01.507
What, you expect me to
belive that you invented it?

01:10:02.675 --> 01:10:03.968
Not really.

01:10:04.552 --> 01:10:05.970
I don't invent anything.

01:10:09.098 --> 01:10:10.975
I just transposed the principle of

01:10:11.142 --> 01:10:14.729
an electron gravitating
around the nucleus.

01:10:14.937 --> 01:10:17.648
But as you know, to simulate its
perpetual motion

01:10:17.815 --> 01:10:19.483
would require the creation

01:10:19.650 --> 01:10:21.152
of a negative entropy,

01:10:21.360 --> 01:10:23.321
which is simply not possible.

01:10:23.529 --> 01:10:25.114
You must agree.. right?

01:10:28.451 --> 01:10:29.410
This can't..

01:10:30.953 --> 01:10:33.497
This can't be..
How old are you?

01:10:34.540 --> 01:10:35.499
10.

01:10:41.756 --> 01:10:44.634
We're not gonna be ought to turn him into
great communicator,

01:10:44.842 --> 01:10:48.638
but with the right clothes and
some solid talking points, no problem.

01:10:49.931 --> 01:10:52.892
Oh, yes.. In his eyes,
I am the Scientific Authority of

01:10:53.100 --> 01:10:54.685
everything he admires.

01:10:55.895 --> 01:10:57.438
Okay, I'll talk to you later.

01:11:01.467 --> 01:11:03.755
So, You need to keep him?

01:11:03.790 --> 01:11:04.218
Nope.

01:11:05.446 --> 01:11:08.741
But with multiple fractures,
he needs to rest.

01:11:08.950 --> 01:11:10.826
Any abrupt movement

01:11:11.035 --> 01:11:13.621
and not cough or laugh.

01:11:14.288 --> 01:11:15.373
Good luck.

01:11:16.999 --> 01:11:18.084
How do you feel?

01:11:18.292 --> 01:11:20.378
Like that mule done kick me good.

01:11:20.586 --> 01:11:22.672
Its my dad's expression.

01:11:23.172 --> 01:11:25.925
You have seen as miss
your parents very much.

01:11:33.766 --> 01:11:35.226
I'm so sorry!

01:11:38.521 --> 01:11:42.275
So, I talked to some colleagues
at the Smithsonian.

01:11:42.483 --> 01:11:44.569
And, everybody is ecstatic
that you've

01:11:44.777 --> 01:11:46.320
chosen for this award.

01:11:47.113 --> 01:11:49.907
You have to give me their names.
I'll thank them in my speech.

01:11:50.741 --> 01:11:52.076
On that topic..

01:11:53.411 --> 01:11:55.746
I think we can quote
something up for you.

01:11:57.456 --> 01:12:00.293
I prefer to write my own speech.
Thank you.

01:12:05.548 --> 01:12:07.717
You certainly don't waste any
time about it, do you?

01:12:09.074 --> 01:12:10.428
No, this is a purple note book.

01:12:10.636 --> 01:12:13.139
If i'll be writing my speech,
it would be in the red one.

01:12:13.723 --> 01:12:16.058
Yes, of course.
And the purple one is for ...?

01:12:16.267 --> 01:12:17.685
"General Considerations."

01:12:17.894 --> 01:12:19.020
Such as?

01:12:19.478 --> 01:12:21.314
When did the child become an adult?

01:12:22.356 --> 01:12:23.316
And?

01:12:24.150 --> 01:12:25.818
When you don't get excited about Christmas,

01:12:26.027 --> 01:12:29.238
When you wear reading glass right a minute
but can't see to find them anywhere

01:12:29.530 --> 01:12:31.991
When you pay income tax and
enjoy getting angry discussing,

01:12:32.200 --> 01:12:34.327
"What the heck are they going to do
with all your money?"

01:12:36.162 --> 01:12:40.082
And when you look down on children
whatever is going on in their little heads.

01:12:41.417 --> 01:12:44.545
<i>If  2x goes into 100
and x is an integer, How many of the</i>

01:12:44.546 --> 01:12:48.154
<i>2x + 2 integers will be divisible by 3n/2</i>

01:12:49.439 --> 01:12:52.307
<i>(2x-1)=(3x+1), what is x?</i>

01:12:53.256 --> 01:12:56.687
<i>how many possible integers less than 5000
are even integers...</i>

01:12:56.688 --> 01:12:57.688
<i> out of 15 or 21.</i>

01:13:01.229 --> 01:13:02.855
I am like a dolphin.

01:13:03.022 --> 01:13:05.942
Turning one side of a brain off
and other one on.

01:13:06.651 --> 01:13:08.361
So, That's what dolpins do?

01:13:08.528 --> 01:13:10.196
Yeah, to sleep.

01:13:12.615 --> 01:13:13.866
You're funny.

01:13:13.991 --> 01:13:14.992
Why?

01:13:15.660 --> 01:13:18.412
You travelled by yourself
half across United States

01:13:18.579 --> 01:13:20.331
to end up like a lab rat?

01:13:28.506 --> 01:13:30.758
This defies all understanding.

01:13:30.925 --> 01:13:32.760
Superior mental activity?

01:13:33.636 --> 01:13:36.389
Superior to an average of an
ocean mammal that is.

01:13:36.639 --> 01:13:39.892
You could train him like a
highly intelligent seal.

01:13:40.887 --> 01:13:41.727
I'm sorry,

01:13:41.853 --> 01:13:45.064
but you don't invent the
perpetual movement machine

01:13:45.231 --> 01:13:47.275
by balancing a ball on your nose!

01:13:49.944 --> 01:13:52.572
Thank you for evaluating my brain, Jodie.

01:14:29.567 --> 01:14:30.401
Will you like some

01:14:30.610 --> 01:14:32.195
tuna tartare and grilled asparagus
sprinkled with

01:14:32.361 --> 01:14:33.905
balsamic vinegar reduction?

01:14:36.324 --> 01:14:39.660
Sir, Why you hiding your
white glove behind your back?

01:14:41.662 --> 01:14:43.873
That's just how they told me to stand.

01:14:44.081 --> 01:14:45.499
Otherwise, I'll get fired.

01:14:46.250 --> 01:14:49.503
Well, I like your white gloves.
Congratulations.

01:14:51.244 --> 01:14:52.004
Thanks.

01:14:55.176 --> 01:14:56.719
I almost forgot this.

01:14:56.969 --> 01:15:00.431
In case someone mistakes you for a kid
whose parents couldn't round up.

01:15:00.681 --> 01:15:01.599
A babysitter.

01:15:07.772 --> 01:15:08.856
Sorry.

01:15:10.483 --> 01:15:12.818
I want to be the first to congratulate you.

01:15:12.985 --> 01:15:15.919
We are so lucky to have
a boy like you!...so lucky!

01:15:16.086 --> 01:15:17.208
What was your first invention?

01:15:17.375 --> 01:15:18.616
Do you think your parents
will be proud of you?

01:15:18.783 --> 01:15:20.201
What is your astrological sign?

01:15:26.415 --> 01:15:27.959
So, Any other questions?

01:15:28.167 --> 01:15:30.628
Did you ever think that you would find
another suitable candidate?

01:15:31.212 --> 01:15:32.255
I remember,

01:15:32.463 --> 01:15:34.090
Sitting in my office,

01:15:34.298 --> 01:15:36.092
before I called him on the ranch,

01:15:36.300 --> 01:15:37.677
and I said to myself,

01:15:38.511 --> 01:15:39.804
he is only 10,

01:15:40.423 --> 01:15:41.347
but let's do this!

01:15:45.518 --> 01:15:48.062
They're eating you up,
they'll love you.

01:15:50.481 --> 01:15:53.901
<i> In 1862 a Frenchman
named Guillaume Duchenne </i>

01:15:54.110 --> 01:15:57.822
<i> discovered the difference
between fake and genuine smiles. </i>

01:15:58.030 --> 01:16:01.242
<i> In a fake smile, it's
not just the zygomatic muscles work, </i>

01:16:01.909 --> 01:16:05.663
<i> the muscles around the eyes
also contract unconsciously. </i>

01:16:05.872 --> 01:16:09.375
<i> Tonight
it was entirely ocular-zygomaticus. </i>

01:16:14.213 --> 01:16:15.882
Ladies and gentlemen,

01:16:16.007 --> 01:16:18.801
please welcome
President of the Smithsonian,

01:16:19.010 --> 01:16:21.053
Dr. Leonard Sullivan.

01:16:28.311 --> 01:16:30.605
Thank you very much
ladies and gentlemen

01:16:30.813 --> 01:16:32.481
and thank you to
our guest of honor.

01:16:34.108 --> 01:16:34.984
At a time

01:16:35.193 --> 01:16:37.153
when science is being challenged in every turn

01:16:37.361 --> 01:16:40.615
when we are witnessing
a return to intellectual obscurity,

01:16:40.823 --> 01:16:41.824
I can not resist

01:16:42.033 --> 01:16:44.994
the temptation to quote Albert Einstein.

01:16:45.203 --> 01:16:46.329
He said ...

01:16:46.662 --> 01:16:48.873
"Only two things are infinite:"

01:16:49.081 --> 01:16:51.709
"the universe and human stupidity ..."

01:16:52.710 --> 01:16:54.795
and, I'm not sure about the former

01:16:55.254 --> 01:16:58.341
But I know a third example:

01:16:59.008 --> 01:17:00.343
human genius.

01:17:01.594 --> 01:17:04.597
Our guest of honor tonight
is a magnificient example of this.

01:17:04.847 --> 01:17:06.682
I invite you to show him

01:17:06.891 --> 01:17:08.476
all the respect he deserves,

01:17:08.684 --> 01:17:10.144
despite his young years.

01:17:10.603 --> 01:17:13.689
Ladies and gentlemen, T.S. Spivet.

01:18:04.365 --> 01:18:05.700
Hello everybody.

01:18:08.828 --> 01:18:10.746
My name is T.S. Spivet,

01:18:11.330 --> 01:18:13.165
I am 10 years old

01:18:13.875 --> 01:18:15.835
and I am actually in sixth grade.

01:18:18.045 --> 01:18:19.672
Is there anyone in this room,

01:18:19.964 --> 01:18:22.884
who doesn't already
atleast have a PhD?

01:18:24.927 --> 01:18:26.095
Any one?

01:18:28.973 --> 01:18:31.767
So, I probably won't
be teaching you much tonight.

01:18:32.268 --> 01:18:34.437
But I like to tell you three things.

01:18:34.854 --> 01:18:36.105
First,

01:18:37.356 --> 01:18:38.482
thank you ...

01:18:38.900 --> 01:18:42.344
Thank you for not cancelling my award
'cause I was younger than you expected.

01:18:43.946 --> 01:18:45.907
Second , the wheel.

01:18:46.365 --> 01:18:48.868
As you can see they are powered by magnets.

01:18:49.076 --> 01:18:49.994
Yet as you know,

01:18:50.203 --> 01:18:53.331
they demagnetize
within approximately 400 years.

01:18:53.539 --> 01:18:55.833
On a human scale,
it sounds like a lot.

01:18:56.042 --> 01:18:59.378
In geological time, it's
not even a fraction of a second.

01:18:59.587 --> 01:19:03.424
So, we're actually far from
having a perpetual motion.

01:19:13.476 --> 01:19:14.769
Any Questions?

01:19:16.604 --> 01:19:18.731
Yes, what is the third point?

01:19:21.400 --> 01:19:23.402
Oh yes, the third ...

01:19:32.161 --> 01:19:34.455
My brother died this year.

01:19:40.294 --> 01:19:42.713
He shot himself in the barn.

01:19:43.548 --> 01:19:45.091
No one talks about it.

01:19:45.383 --> 01:19:48.803
No one ever said
"Layton shot himself in the barn."

01:19:50.304 --> 01:19:51.305
No one.

01:19:53.558 --> 01:19:57.061
Layton and Me
we were always very different.

01:19:58.104 --> 01:20:00.314
I have been doing my
scientific experiments,

01:20:00.815 --> 01:20:04.902
and, he would be shooting empty bean cans
and coyotes with his Winchester.

01:20:06.279 --> 01:20:10.032
So, I came up with this idea to make
sound waves match the gunshots.

01:20:10.241 --> 01:20:11.909
That way we could play something together.

01:20:12.994 --> 01:20:15.580
He would shoot, and I gathered data.

01:20:17.665 --> 01:20:18.624
And

01:20:19.709 --> 01:20:22.169
one of his Winchester has jammed.

01:20:24.505 --> 01:20:27.133
I held the bottom of the rifle to help out.

01:20:28.801 --> 01:20:31.095
I didn't even touched the trigger.

01:20:32.930 --> 01:20:34.765
There was an explosion.

01:20:40.813 --> 01:20:43.524
Layton flew across the room.

01:20:44.275 --> 01:20:45.318
Blood...

01:20:46.360 --> 01:20:48.070
dripped off the hay.

01:20:52.116 --> 01:20:53.201
He was there,

01:20:54.660 --> 01:20:57.121
but he wasn't my brother anymore.

01:21:01.667 --> 01:21:03.211
I was alone.

01:21:07.256 --> 01:21:09.967
I ran to the field to get my father.

01:21:10.760 --> 01:21:14.931
His face clenched up when I said
Layton had hurt himself badly.

01:21:15.389 --> 01:21:17.391
He ran back, and I stayed there,

01:21:17.600 --> 01:21:19.352
not knowing where to go.

01:21:21.187 --> 01:21:24.649
Then I ran to the house and hid
in the bathroom.

01:21:26.609 --> 01:21:29.487
I could hear my father
whispering on the phone.

01:21:31.405 --> 01:21:35.826
And through the window, I saw the ambulance
pull without the flashing lights.

01:21:39.080 --> 01:21:41.499
After a while, Gracie showed up.

01:21:41.707 --> 01:21:42.917
She was crying.

01:21:44.460 --> 01:21:46.712
She sat next to me in the floor

01:21:48.256 --> 01:21:50.841
We stayed a long time like that.

01:21:51.634 --> 01:21:53.844
Lying on the floor without talking.

01:22:01.644 --> 01:22:04.355
I wanted you to know how proud
I am to get this award.

01:22:04.689 --> 01:22:06.983
I'll do my best to fulfill your trust in me,

01:22:07.191 --> 01:22:08.734
and to be in the service of science.

01:22:09.402 --> 01:22:11.821
That's all I had to say. Thank you.

01:23:11.672 --> 01:23:14.300
<i> The amazing thing about water drops,</i>

01:23:14.508 --> 01:23:18.304
<i> is that they always take
the path of least resistance. </i>

01:23:18.930 --> 01:23:20.014
<i> For humans, </i>

01:23:20.181 --> 01:23:22.517
<i> it's exactly the opposite. </i>

01:23:25.811 --> 01:23:27.063
<i> When Layton died, </i>

01:23:27.271 --> 01:23:31.609
<i> Tapioca started chewing metal buckets
till it's gums bled. </i>

01:23:33.444 --> 01:23:36.197
<i> Layton and Tapioca had been inseparable. </i>

01:23:37.949 --> 01:23:39.075
<i> And then one day, </i>

01:23:39.283 --> 01:23:41.911
<i> Gracie took him
for a long walk through the meadow. </i>

01:23:43.955 --> 01:23:46.832
<i> They sat for a while
facing the mountains. </i>

01:23:50.628 --> 01:23:53.839
<i> Gracie returned with a new kind of
understanding in their eyes. </i>

01:23:54.048 --> 01:23:56.217
<i> Tapioca stopped chewing metal buckets. </i>

01:23:57.218 --> 01:24:00.596
<i> He went back to snapping at fireflies,
just like before.</i>

01:24:01.097 --> 01:24:03.724
<i>As if he had made peace with
lossing his master.</i>

01:24:05.768 --> 01:24:10.106
<i> Maybe someday,
I'll go back snapping at fireflies too.</i>

01:24:11.315 --> 01:24:12.984
I swear to you.

01:24:13.484 --> 01:24:16.737
They loved...They loved the kid!
I mean,

01:24:17.196 --> 01:24:19.198
Granted they are just a bunch of scientists,

01:24:19.407 --> 01:24:22.994
but if their reaction is anything like the way
the general public is gonna respond,

01:24:23.202 --> 01:24:25.872
we've got a gold mine
on our hands here!

01:24:27.456 --> 01:24:29.709
People are so predictable

01:24:30.459 --> 01:24:31.419
it's nuts, really.

01:24:31.669 --> 01:24:34.839
I should write a handbook on
how to move the masses.

01:24:35.047 --> 01:24:35.882
Hang on!

01:24:36.090 --> 01:24:37.508
Honey! Smile!

01:24:40.344 --> 01:24:43.097
No, I think it would be better if you're
sketching in your notebook.

01:24:43.514 --> 01:24:44.682
But, I didn't bring one.

01:24:44.891 --> 01:24:46.809
Sally, can we have a notebook here, Quick.

01:24:47.643 --> 01:24:50.021
Hang on a minute,
problem with the kid.

01:24:52.040 --> 01:24:52.723
There you go.

01:24:53.566 --> 01:24:56.777
But, It's not the right colour.
I'd never sketch on a green notebook.

01:24:57.111 --> 01:24:59.780
This is just a photograph,
nobody cares.

01:25:00.823 --> 01:25:02.366
OK, so, where were we?
Oh Yeah.

01:25:03.904 --> 01:25:04.668
Its amazing!

01:25:04.669 --> 01:25:05.669
Wow. Thank you.

01:25:09.916 --> 01:25:12.126
Now, I don't want to get your
hopes up, but ...

01:25:12.335 --> 01:25:13.586
Listen to this:

01:25:14.253 --> 01:25:17.006
The White House is sniffing around!

01:25:18.049 --> 01:25:19.467
The White House?

01:25:21.385 --> 01:25:24.055
The President stated the
union addresses next week, and they,

01:25:24.263 --> 01:25:27.642
and they love having talking points in the audience.

01:25:28.017 --> 01:25:29.185
I can hear 'em now,

01:25:29.393 --> 01:25:32.563
"Look, the
American educational system is working."

01:25:35.608 --> 01:25:36.943
What we really need

01:25:37.151 --> 01:25:39.153
are pictures of your parents.

01:25:39.529 --> 01:25:41.197
Especially your brother.

01:25:41.405 --> 01:25:44.867
Preferably holding a gun,
with you in the background, that would be perfect.

01:25:45.201 --> 01:25:46.827
Tomorrow, we go to New York , do Letterman

01:25:47.036 --> 01:25:49.705
and possibly 60 minutes of us
not affirmed up yet.

01:25:49.914 --> 01:25:52.667
I mean, If they could just cut through
the crap and make up their minds.

01:25:52.875 --> 01:25:54.544
The eyes dont have time to delete, Ally.

01:25:54.710 --> 01:25:56.546
There are people lining up to book us.

01:26:29.453 --> 01:26:30.955
There you go honey!

01:26:32.665 --> 01:26:34.625
You look like a movie star!

01:26:36.627 --> 01:26:37.587
Ok,  Listen up, T.S.

01:26:38.170 --> 01:26:39.964
This shows rating is through the roof.

01:26:40.172 --> 01:26:41.632
But, they're gonna wanna ambush you

01:26:41.841 --> 01:26:44.010
It's just the price you have to pay, got it?

01:26:49.932 --> 01:26:52.185
He's gonna talk about Layton, for sure.

01:26:52.518 --> 01:26:54.312
So, you saw the accident ...

01:26:56.856 --> 01:26:59.734
You saw the accident,
you didn't understand what happened,

01:26:59.942 --> 01:27:02.486
you ran for help,
that's it. Remember,

01:27:02.820 --> 01:27:04.780
do not express any kind of guilt.

01:27:04.989 --> 01:27:05.823
you listening?

01:27:06.032 --> 01:27:09.076
Not until we consult with our lawyers.
You understood all that?

01:27:10.870 --> 01:27:12.079
We're live in 5 minutes.

01:27:12.288 --> 01:27:14.373
You're gonna go back to the green room.

01:27:14.874 --> 01:27:17.793
Well.. No, surely, it is normal
for a representative of the Smithsonian...

01:27:18.002 --> 01:27:20.254
Miss Jibsen, you'll love our green room.

01:27:20.463 --> 01:27:22.089
You can watch the entire show there

01:27:22.298 --> 01:27:23.549
on a monitor.

01:27:26.344 --> 01:27:27.970
But he is only 10... I mean, ...

01:27:28.179 --> 01:27:29.931
T.S.,  Call me Roy.

01:27:29.932 --> 01:27:30.932
Hello Roy.

01:27:31.599 --> 01:27:33.017
First time on TV?

01:27:33.643 --> 01:27:34.602
Lets do it.

01:27:41.359 --> 01:27:42.777
We're live in 10 seconds.

01:27:43.736 --> 01:27:46.030
On the air in... 10, 9, 8 ...

01:28:06.842 --> 01:28:09.428
My guest tonight has dominated
this week's headlines.

01:28:09.762 --> 01:28:11.889
He is to science what Mozart is to music.

01:28:12.098 --> 01:28:14.392
T.S. Spivet, just 10 years old,

01:28:14.600 --> 01:28:16.894
and he had sprinted ahead of
legions of scientists

01:28:17.436 --> 01:28:19.480
to win this year's coveted Baird Award.

01:28:19.897 --> 01:28:22.316
T.S., you're 10 years old,

01:28:22.650 --> 01:28:25.695
You're an orphan, you grew upon
a remote ranch in Montana,

01:28:25.862 --> 01:28:26.904
your dad wanted you to be

01:28:27.113 --> 01:28:29.323
a cowboy. Am I right so far?

01:28:30.344 --> 01:28:31.034
Hmm..Yes.

01:28:31.659 --> 01:28:34.120
Coppertop Ranch, 4.73 miles

01:28:34.287 --> 01:28:37.248
north of the Divide, 14.92 miles ...

01:28:37.415 --> 01:28:40.418
Tell me T.S., How does a 10 year old
win the Baird Award?

01:28:41.002 --> 01:28:42.670
Did the proverbial apple just fall

01:28:43.869 --> 01:28:44.297
on your head

01:28:44.505 --> 01:28:45.715
and light bulb, you invent

01:28:45.923 --> 01:28:47.800
the perpetual motion machine?

01:28:49.343 --> 01:28:50.845
It actually already existed.

01:28:51.053 --> 01:28:52.722
But, we needed to invented

01:28:52.930 --> 01:28:54.015
was a system to ...

01:28:54.223 --> 01:28:56.642
At an age when most 10 year olds

01:28:56.851 --> 01:28:59.145
are climbing trees, what do you do for fun?

01:28:59.353 --> 01:29:00.521
Trigonometry?

01:29:01.689 --> 01:29:03.482
I like climbing trees.

01:29:06.736 --> 01:29:08.237
You've been conducting
scientific experiments

01:29:08.446 --> 01:29:10.156
since the age of 4.

01:29:10.364 --> 01:29:11.574
Last year, one of those went

01:29:11.782 --> 01:29:13.993
tragically wrong and
resulted in the death

01:29:14.202 --> 01:29:16.287
of your twin brother, Layton.

01:29:24.545 --> 01:29:26.714
I did not understand what happened.

01:29:27.048 --> 01:29:29.800
I ran to get help,
that's all.

01:29:32.970 --> 01:29:35.389
And oddly, the time has come
to take a look

01:29:35.700 --> 01:29:37.433
at this extraordinary invention.

01:29:37.808 --> 01:29:40.978
This is the first
perpetual motion machine

01:29:41.187 --> 01:29:43.314
in the history of mankind.

01:30:03.487 --> 01:30:05.664
Well, T.S.
How does it work...

01:30:05.795 --> 01:30:08.130
Liza! Do you see him?

01:30:09.507 --> 01:30:11.592
That's is my brother.
I can't believe he is on TV!

01:30:12.927 --> 01:30:16.556
I mean, This is the same spice that wore
Velcro on his shoes untill he's 8 years old

01:30:16.764 --> 01:30:18.975
because he couldn't tie his own laces.

01:30:19.183 --> 01:30:20.643
he is on TV!

01:30:22.770 --> 01:30:25.982
He went that time when he almost electrocuted
me with his seismograph.

01:30:26.566 --> 01:30:29.068
Oh thats,
its not mention that on TV ...

01:30:30.611 --> 01:30:33.573
T.S., how long can the little wheel turn

01:30:33.781 --> 01:30:35.283
and produce energy

01:30:35.491 --> 01:30:37.076
without consuming energy?

01:30:37.577 --> 01:30:40.788
400 years
then you have to recharge the magnets.

01:30:41.107 --> 01:30:41.872
400 years!

01:30:42.039 --> 01:30:44.750
so, you saying
if this machine were 100 times larger

01:30:45.001 --> 01:30:48.045
it could power all of the lights in this building
for 400 years

01:30:48.254 --> 01:30:50.423
without spending a dime in electricity?

01:30:51.090 --> 01:30:53.009
Well, you still have to
change the light bulbs

01:30:53.217 --> 01:30:55.845
given the ratio of lighting square footage,

01:30:56.304 --> 01:30:57.972
that's still significant cost.

01:30:59.557 --> 01:31:01.684
I think the time has come
to introduce a

01:31:01.893 --> 01:31:03.269
very special guest,

01:31:03.728 --> 01:31:06.189
T.S.'s mother, Dr. Clair.

01:31:21.790 --> 01:31:22.777
Hello T.S.

01:31:23.908 --> 01:31:25.431
Hello Mom.

01:31:28.502 --> 01:31:31.547
Dr. Clair,
you have come here directly from Montana

01:31:31.756 --> 01:31:34.300
you are T.S.'s mother, correct?

01:31:34.410 --> 01:31:36.442
Yes. That's right.

01:31:37.803 --> 01:31:41.057
T.S., why did you say
in the media that you

01:31:41.265 --> 01:31:43.851
were an orphan, is this some spin
coming from the Smithsonian?

01:31:45.394 --> 01:31:46.604
I don't know.

01:31:47.146 --> 01:31:50.316
I thought they would send me back home
before I could receive the award.

01:31:51.150 --> 01:31:53.402
Dr. Clair, You must have been
worried sick,

01:31:53.611 --> 01:31:55.196
I mean, he is so small.

01:31:56.822 --> 01:31:58.783
Yes, well, when a child disappears,

01:31:58.991 --> 01:32:00.576
the world stops turning.

01:32:01.619 --> 01:32:04.705
But, surely you must have been very angry.
When you heard..

01:32:04.914 --> 01:32:05.706
With all the respect

01:32:05.915 --> 01:32:08.084
You asked me a question,
I would like to finish my answer.

01:32:10.378 --> 01:32:12.547
When your child disappears

01:32:13.339 --> 01:32:15.049
well, you'll  lose your sanity.

01:32:15.716 --> 01:32:18.469
Some will channel their anger by kicking
goats out of barbwire.

01:32:18.678 --> 01:32:20.763
I'm sorry..Goats!
We're talking goats?

01:32:21.681 --> 01:32:24.642
Others will surf
the beetles that don't exist.

01:32:26.269 --> 01:32:28.813
Those are just feared merely take a train
that is never coming back

01:32:29.021 --> 01:32:31.190
so sometimes you just stop by the tracks,

01:32:31.399 --> 01:32:33.067
and stare at the rails.

01:32:36.737 --> 01:32:38.239
So you read my journal ...

01:32:42.034 --> 01:32:43.077
I'm sorry.

01:32:43.619 --> 01:32:45.162
I know it's not right.

01:32:46.163 --> 01:32:48.583
What about giving a gun
to a child as a gift?

01:32:50.626 --> 01:32:52.336
Or letting two kids play

01:32:52.962 --> 01:32:54.547
with a gun, in a barn,

01:32:55.590 --> 01:32:56.757
unsupervised...

01:32:58.426 --> 01:32:59.343
You think that's right?

01:33:00.011 --> 01:33:01.262
That's good question actually!

01:33:01.263 --> 01:33:02.263
T.S.

01:33:03.222 --> 01:33:04.807
What happened in the barn?

01:33:08.944 --> 01:33:10.146
Wasn't your fault, T.S.

01:33:13.191 --> 01:33:14.859
It wasn't your fault.

01:33:18.380 --> 01:33:18.898
It wasn't.

01:33:20.823 --> 01:33:22.700
It wasn't anyone's fault.

01:33:25.328 --> 01:33:26.746
It was an accident.

01:33:28.998 --> 01:33:30.625
As your father said,

01:33:31.417 --> 01:33:32.793
what happened ...

01:33:35.504 --> 01:33:36.797
just happened...

01:33:39.782 --> 01:33:41.932
OK, I think,

01:33:42.011 --> 01:33:43.638
T.S. .. Dr Clair

01:33:43.846 --> 01:33:45.473
We should,..
We should have a moment.

01:33:45.681 --> 01:33:46.891
Just...just forget the cameras

01:33:47.099 --> 01:33:48.226
and the audience,

01:33:48.518 --> 01:33:50.144
and just.. maybe...

01:33:51.354 --> 01:33:52.104
hug?

01:33:53.356 --> 01:33:55.358
Cry?
Touch, maybe?

01:33:55.566 --> 01:33:58.027
Actually, I wanna ask you about
beauty pageants.

01:33:58.569 --> 01:34:00.029
I know Miss America

01:34:00.238 --> 01:34:01.239
and Miss USA different,

01:34:01.447 --> 01:34:02.865
But the criteria they use

01:34:03.074 --> 01:34:05.826
..is shameful..
Why?..

01:34:06.369 --> 01:34:07.203
Mom!
Mom!

01:34:07.662 --> 01:34:09.705
I guess the crown necessarily
be a ravishing beauty...

01:34:09.914 --> 01:34:10.748
..underfed...
Mom!

01:34:12.083 --> 01:34:12.875
What?

01:34:13.734 --> 01:34:14.242
Oh, Yeah.

01:34:14.669 --> 01:34:15.920
You will stay here or go?

01:34:16.337 --> 01:34:17.004
Go.

01:34:30.643 --> 01:34:31.894
A river... of emotion ...

01:34:32.728 --> 01:34:34.605
No, No, come back!

01:34:35.064 --> 01:34:38.442
This is a 20 minute interview,
there's 9 minutes left.

01:34:45.074 --> 01:34:47.493
This is reality, this is better than science!

01:34:47.702 --> 01:34:49.328
This is cable TV.

01:34:50.830 --> 01:34:52.915
You're a filthy little liar.

01:34:54.667 --> 01:34:56.377
You're a little m***r.

01:34:59.380 --> 01:34:59.964
Wait! wait! Oh!

01:35:01.674 --> 01:35:02.800
Where do you think
you are going?

01:35:03.009 --> 01:35:04.802
To Coppertop ranch.

01:35:16.606 --> 01:35:17.565
Cut!

01:35:19.525 --> 01:35:20.526
You OK?

01:35:24.197 --> 01:35:26.616
Reckon if you're OK,
that's all it gots!

01:35:28.034 --> 01:35:29.619
My boy's OK.

01:35:32.663 --> 01:35:34.498
So, I'm mute..

01:35:34.707 --> 01:35:35.541
and I'm dead?

01:35:37.460 --> 01:35:38.836
Sorry, Dad.

01:35:47.845 --> 01:35:51.265
How come you didn't stop that morning
when you saw me on the road?

01:35:52.725 --> 01:35:54.810
Rancher's word , I never saw you.

01:36:36.477 --> 01:36:43.843
I need a box of biscuits, a box of mixed biscuits
and a biscuit mixer.

01:36:43.901 --> 01:36:46.529
Are you talking to me or
are you talking to the peanut butter?

01:36:47.238 --> 01:36:49.240
Its a diction exercise, moron.

01:36:49.448 --> 01:36:51.784
You'd be better out trying
some yourself enough here

01:36:51.993 --> 01:36:53.786
or make it on TV again.

01:36:54.328 --> 01:36:56.455
I've got some more to do in the
public speaking department.

01:36:56.581 --> 01:36:59.834
How about you just show us
how its done the day you're in a movie.

01:37:00.167 --> 01:37:02.461
Yeah, or in the running for Miss Montana.

01:37:04.922 --> 01:37:08.217
Or a reality show
about a normal person

01:37:08.426 --> 01:37:11.012
living with a bunch of
insane hostile degenerates.

01:37:11.220 --> 01:37:13.723
Speaking of which, does anyone know

01:37:14.432 --> 01:37:18.186
if or when your father is showing
up for breakfast?

01:37:30.865 --> 01:37:32.491
You guys don't ever made up?

01:37:35.745 --> 01:37:38.831
Look, I know goats eat everything,
including paper... I get'em, I get'em.

01:37:40.041 --> 01:37:41.667
But, the fact that one of them

01:37:41.876 --> 01:37:44.378
climbed through the kitchen window
and eat all my notes

01:37:44.587 --> 01:37:48.382
on the female Ontophagus sagittarius,
and how it copulates with its horns

01:37:48.591 --> 01:37:49.592
that is inexcusable.

01:37:52.678 --> 01:37:53.596
It's okay, it's okay.

01:37:55.139 --> 01:37:56.182
He's just kicking.

01:37:56.390 --> 01:37:58.518
I thought you're going to give birth
on the kitchen again?

01:37:58.726 --> 01:38:01.771
Again?
I never gave birth in kitchen.

01:38:02.104 --> 01:38:03.022
Really?

01:38:03.648 --> 01:38:05.900
Then, why is my name Sparrow?

01:38:06.234 --> 01:38:07.944
No, That was Gracie's idea.

01:38:08.152 --> 01:38:10.363
She found a dead sparrow

01:38:10.571 --> 01:38:13.157
here in the kitchen,
the day I had you in the hospital.

01:38:13.366 --> 01:38:17.328
So she concluded that you were
the reincarnation of the sparrow.

01:38:17.787 --> 01:38:20.039
I know when I die,
an elephant will be born.

01:38:25.628 --> 01:38:27.255
<i> Statistically speaking, </i>

01:38:27.463 --> 01:38:30.383
<i>there are better chances that
