So, doc, now that you work for NASA, how do like us?
Kind of like winning the lottery, isn't it?
I was just happy that they didn't cut the funding to my research.
How long was your training?
Six months.
Including holidays?
Mm-hm.
So, what is this scanning system?
Oh, nothing, Matt, it's just a new set of eyes to scan the edge of the universe.
It's designed for hospital use, but this one's a prototype.
Listen, they don't bankroll prototypes, even for your pretty blue eyes.
Well, my eyes are brown.
Right now your eyes are bloodshot.
Kowalski! Is this great or what?
[Shariff jumps and floats away from the Shuttle, laughing and flapping his arms. A safety tether attached to his waist tenses and brings Shariff to an abrupt stop, snapping him back like a bungee cord.]
And to think he went to Harvard. Gotta admit one thing. Can't beat the view. So, what do you like about being up here?
The silence. I could get used to it.
Terrific.
