please let me explain?
No. There's nothing to explain.
You weren't there.
For the third time you left me
standing at the altar.
I'm sorry with all my heart.
But please listen to me, Sara.
Please. You know me.
You know how sometimes I can get
really fixated on an idea?
- I don't want to hear it.
- Sara, you've got to hear it.
Sara, this is the reason
I didn't make it last night.
It's flubber.
Flubber! lt's a metastable
compound, Sara.
In layman's terms, if you apply
a small amount of energy,
it liberates an enormous
quantity of energy.
But the total effect
is transient, Sara.
The moment you stop applying energy,
it returns to a quasi-plasmoid state.
- Isn't it remarkable, Sara?
- What's remarkable, Phillip,
is that I ever fell
in love with you.
You broke my heart...
so that you could stay home
and make some green goo.
Sara, it's much more than that.
Flubber could save this college.
Let me demonstrate.
- No, no, no.
- Just give me one minute, okay?
The flubber is placed
in my back pocket.
When I exit this window,
I will fall to the ground.
When I hit the ground, the flubber will
send me right back up unharmed. Watch.
- Ta-ta, my love.
- Are you nuts?
- I'll be right back.
- Phillip!
Ah!
- Ouch.
- Phillip, are you hurt?
Just my pride.
Well, if you think that
you are going to get my sympathy,
you are wasting your time.
Ooh! We are finished!
Sara.
Oh!
Junior's home.
Dad? Dad!
Dad?
Somebody in your organization
screwed up big time.
I got thrown off
the basketball team.
I flunked chemistry.
I'm on, uh, academic probation.
- How did this happen?
- I'm supposed to get A's.
- At least, that's what I was told.
- The only reason...
I loaned this "jerknut"
college money...
was so he could get straight A's
and go to Harvard Business School.
- This isn't supposed to happen.
- Yes, sir.
We talked to the, uh, that Brainard guy,
the chemistry professor.
Now, either he did not
understand us, or he forgot.
The-The boy knew we were having
persuasion problems, sir.
I have a science requirement,
you morons!
Quiet.
We'll have to get the "F"
changed to an "A."
It won't work. This guy? He
doesn't live in the real world.
- He has principles.
- Get something on him...
that we can use to force him
to change the kid's grade.
When a man says he has
principles, what he means is...
he can't be bought cheap.
Hmm. Hmm.
Adding 500 milligrams...
crystallized flubber
to common hand cream.
Stirring in solution.
Hmm.
Hmm. I just need one
spherical test subject.
Mm. Perfect.
Yeah. Now, about two--
Applying flubber
in a solution...
externally to golf ball.
All right. Very good.
Evenly over the entire surface.
Kinetic test number one.
Oh. Oh! Oh!
Ooh! Ah!
Are you all right?
All right.
Applying light coating
of flubber...
to surface of bowling ball.
All right.
Oh. Very good.
- Right in the head.
- That golf ball was really moving.
- How'd he do that?
- I don't know.
Commencing kinetic energy
test number two.
Controlling horizontal momentum.
Commencing now.
Hit the deck!
This definitely has applications
in the field of sports.
Ho, ho, ho! Yes!
Oh!
What?
Fluid flubber...
with a convenient
spray applicator.
It's clogged. Hmm.
- You seen enough?
- Plenty.
All right, after the bowling
ball hits, we break for the car.
Oh, wait a minute.
You can adjust it.
Go!
Oh, damn! Oh!
- Yes! Weebo?
- Yes, sir?
- It's gonna work.
- I hope so.
Now, let me show you how.
I connected the accelerator
to a sliding shutter.
If I press down on the accelerator,
it releases the gamma rays,
and that increases the thrust.
Ah. Listen to that baby chirp.
Now, the steering wheel
controls lateral motion.
- Mm-hmm.
- If you turn right,
- Okay.
- it'll steer right.
- Ah! Turns right.
- Turn the wheel left, it steers left.
So, it functions a lot like
a normal automatic shift...
- with drive, park, neutral, reverse.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes.
-
