1 00:01:08 Our ranch was located several miles north of Divide,
2 00:01:13 lost in the Pioneer Mountains.
3 00:01:22 The closest thing to traffic was when
4 00:01:25 Union Pacific Freight trains rumbled through the valley.
5 00:01:27 at 5: 44 am
6 00:01:30 11: 53 am,
7 00:01:33 5: 15 pm.
8 00:01:36 Divide was literally located on the continent of the divide.
9 00:01:40 To the east, rivers spill into the Atlantic.
10 00:01:44 To the west, it is spill into the Pacific.
11 00:01:48 One day my brother Layton and I, decided to
12 00:01:51 christian its natural water.
13 00:01:58 Layton.
14 00:01:59 Look over here.
15 00:02:01 Hello Big Sur!
16 00:02:02 Hello New Orleans!
17 00:02:05 Hello Big Sur!
18 00:02:07 And "Hello New Orleans!"
19 00:02:09 Hello New Orleans!
20 00:02:13 But Layton's favourite pastime
21 00:02:15 was shooting at anything that moved.
22 00:02:29 Big loop.
23 00:02:30 Elbow up.
24 00:02:35 Ready?
25 00:02:37 Now!
26 00:02:43 Go!
27 00:02:53 Stop!
28 00:02:54 Upon my brothers request,
29 00:02:56 father built us a seesaw.
30 00:03:01 Slow down!
31 00:03:02 Come on, cowboy.
32 00:03:03 My father loved Layton
33 00:03:06 more than anything in the world.
34 00:03:08 Yes , Good deal.
35 00:03:17 I would have liked to be a daredevil, too.
36 00:03:20 But I knew I never be upto it.
37 00:03:24 .
38 00:03:30 Orffyreus have five marbles trapped in tubes,
39 00:03:33 creating an imbalance. This rocking motion, however,
40 00:03:37 caused the energy to dissipate.
41 00:03:40 Robert Flux built a mill based on the concept
42 00:03:43 of perpetual rotation.
43 00:03:44 However the inherit friction of the machine caused significant loss of energy.
44 00:03:49 Italian philosopher Marco Zimara
45 00:03:52 imagined a machine that could recycle the wind.
46 00:03:55 But the force required to compress the bellows
47 00:03:57 was greater than the energy produced by the windmill.
48 00:04:00 So it didn't work.
49 00:04:09 No scientific challenge remains greater,
50 00:04:12 most prestigious,
51 00:04:13 more mythical,
52 00:04:14 than that of finding the key to
53 00:04:17 perpetual motion.
54 00:04:27 Thank you.
55 00:04:29 Yet some affirm that
56 00:04:31 this quest is doomed to failure.
57 00:04:34 Such a machine
58 00:04:36 defies the laws of the universe.
59 00:04:38 The very basis of thermodynamics assumes that
60 00:04:42 all mechanism will eventually come to stop.
61 00:04:46 Well, it is you.
62 00:04:48 Yeah. Given the current state of Science and Technology,
63 00:04:51 isn't the quest for perpetual motion better suited for
64 00:04:54 idealists and poets than real scientists?
65 00:05:01 What if imagination start it
66 00:05:05 and science end it?
67 00:05:07 Those who push the boundaries of science, what they not all poets?
68 00:05:11 I'm certain
69 00:05:12 that as we speak here today, that somewhere in this country,
70 00:05:16 a budding Leonardo Da Vinci
71 00:05:18 is gaining up for the challenge.
72 00:05:22 Thank you very much.
73 00:05:25 Oh God ...
74 00:05:31 Hello.
75 00:05:32 Sir, I am the Leonardo from Montana.
76 00:05:35 Oh yeah? What you are going to do?
77 00:05:37 I accept the challenge.
78 00:05:40 You do?
79 00:06:05 One afternoon in August, the phone rang
80 00:06:08 while my sister Gracie and I
81 00:06:10 on the porch, shredding sweet corn into large metal buckets.
82 00:06:18 What?
83 00:06:21 the buckets were riddled with bite marks dating back to last spring
84 00:06:24 when our dog Tapioca got depressed
85 00:06:27 and started eating metal.
86 00:06:40 Hello?
87 00:06:44 Uh, really...
88 00:06:58 Gracie, can you hold this for a second.
89 00:07:04 This is what I predicted.
90 00:07:06 Manticora herculeana
91 00:07:08 is a subspecies of cicindeler.
92 00:07:12 Who was at that called ?
93 00:07:13 Same time, has a heart at tip of the mandible
94 00:07:17 doesn't seem to have a white spot on the electra.
95 00:07:20 Mom?
96 00:07:22 The phone, who was it?
97 00:07:25 Oh, a call for T.S.
98 00:07:29 A call for him?
99 00:07:31 Yes, Gracie.
100 00:07:34 Who was it?
101 00:07:37 I do not know.
102 00:07:38 She is still in the line. she is waiting.
103 00:07:42 You should probably go.
104 00:07:44 If you finish before I get back, count the number of good ears and the number of bad ones.
105 00:07:49 Why don't get the kernels, while you're at it?
106 00:07:54 I had 3 options to get to the phone.
107 00:07:57 The corridor / kitchen way,
108 00:07:59 the quickest but also the most boring.
109 00:08:03 Upstairs /Downstairs route,
110 00:08:05 but the shift in altitude made me nauseous.
111 00:08:10 I opted for the third and riskiest,
112 00:08:13 particularly when father was working around the house.
113 00:08:18 The scent in room smelled like whiskey stained leather.
114 00:08:21 and moldy photographs.
115 00:08:41 If you just closed your eyes,
116 00:08:43 you could feel the dust forming onto your prairie
117 00:08:46 after a cowboy posse cavalcade.
118 00:08:51 Layton use this thing as setting room, was the greatest thing since
119 00:08:55 quirrell trees.
120 00:09:03 Hello?
121 00:09:05 Hello, yes, uh...
122 00:09:07 I would like to speak to T.S. Spivet, this is Miss Jibsen,
123 00:09:11 Under Secretary of the Smithsonian.
124 00:09:14 Hold on.
125 00:09:17 Father!
126 00:09:18 Phone!
127 00:09:33 My father is all yours, Ms. Jibsen.
128 00:09:36 Hello, Mr. Spivet.
129 00:09:38 Yes.
130 00:09:39 Yes! My dad is listening.
131 00:09:42 Could you hand him the phone please.
132 00:09:45 No.
133 00:09:46 No! My father is mute, Ms. Jibsen.
134 00:09:49 He can hear you but can only respond in sign language.
135 00:09:53 I will translate everything for you.
136 00:09:57 You are the T.S. Spivet
137 00:10:00 that has just invent the magnetic wheel?
138 00:10:04 One second. Father saying ...
139 00:10:06 Yes, I only sent you the blueprints.
140 00:10:09 Because , I didn't have the time to do it.
141 00:10:15 The quest for perpetual movement!
142 00:10:17 I mean, Its the Holy Grail of inventors ...
143 00:10:20 Tell me Mr.Spivet, I take it you live in Montana?
144 00:10:23 Coppertop ranch.
145 00:10:25 Longitude: 112?44' 19".
146 00:10:30 Latitude: 45?44' 27".
147 00:10:34 These are the coordinates to my bedroom.
148 00:10:38 Wow! Clearly you have an eye for detail!
149 00:10:40 which is a reckless ad for
150 00:10:42 any great inventor.
151 00:10:44 Father is asking:
152 00:10:46 so you are the head of the Smithsonian?
153 00:10:51 Well! Technically, I'm the Under Secretary, but,
154 00:10:54 many people would say I run the place.
155 00:10:57 Wow
156 00:10:58 Yeah.
157 00:11:03 Look Mr.Spivet,
158 00:11:04 your invention
159 00:11:06 has won our prestigious Baird Award.
160 00:11:11 So...
161 00:11:12 Spencer Baird Award?
162 00:11:14 Indeed.
163 00:11:16 Our 150th anniversary gala is in a week's time
164 00:11:21 and this would be perfect oppurtunity for you to
165 00:11:23 You know Make your acceptance speech.
166 00:11:27 Of course, we would
167 00:11:29 provide you with a sign language interpreter.
168 00:11:33 But ...
169 00:11:35 I'll be in class.
170 00:11:37 I go back to school on Monday.
171 00:11:39 You must teach at the University of Montana?
172 00:11:43 A quick phone call to your president, Jack Campbell,
173 00:11:46 and it will be taken care of. I mean,
174 00:11:49 We are talking about the Baird Award after all.
175 00:11:55 Prairie of Truth
176 00:11:58 Mountain of Lies
177 00:12:06 Hello?
178 00:12:07 Hello?
179 00:12:08 I was just thinking.
180 00:12:12 I can't come out to receive the Baird award.
181 00:12:16 I have too much work to finish.
182 00:12:19 Thanks anyway.
183 00:12:20 Have a good day.
184 00:12:28 What are you doing?
185 00:12:30 What do you think I am doing?
186 00:12:33 You are going to mess up my dataset.
187 00:12:37 You're in there for like 15 hours.
188 00:12:38 Who was that?
189 00:12:41 A journalist ... From New York.
190 00:12:44 Wants me to go there for an interview about my work.
191 00:12:49 Inside Gracie's cortex
192 00:12:51 Just laugh in his face, its the only way to deal with this.
193 00:12:53 Clearly he is making it up.
194 00:12:56 And if it were true?
195 00:12:58 You mean this total spass leaving Montana before us?
196 00:13:01 Would it be so bad to be a celebrity sister?
197 00:13:03 This total dork, invited to New York ...
198 00:13:06 for an interview?
199 00:13:09 You're full crap.
200 00:13:10 I told her I can't come, cause' classes are again monday,
201 00:13:13 but she was insisting.
202 00:13:17 What did I do to god for hate me? It's like
203 00:13:19 "Here, Gracie, I found you a family full of nutjobs,"
204 00:13:22 "And you are gonna live in no worse in Montana"
205 00:13:24 "and your brother, who is a total spat"
206 00:13:27 "is going to New York!"
207 00:13:28 I told you I am not going I've got a school.
208 00:13:32 News fash crazy New Yorkers loves spatters
209 00:13:34 Its kind of a new trend!.
210 00:13:35 Too late.
211 00:13:37 Any chance you've got
212 00:13:38 she wallowed in the role of the misunderstood actress
213 00:13:48 She landed the lead in a retro anti establishment theater piece.
214 00:14:18 But that night,
215 00:14:19 I was busy working on a challenge set by Discover magazine
216 00:14:23 "How to drop an egg from the top"
217 00:14:25 "of the Empire State Building without breaking it. "
218 00:14:34 Inorder to finish my project and get out of saying Gracie's blain,
219 00:14:38 I had to end this Tapioca to the rest field.
220 00:14:57 One night, in a Bette Davis face,
221 00:15:00 Gracie launched into a heated diatribe
222 00:15:02 about father's museum setting hall.
223 00:15:06 Is it even conceivable that the cowboy museum or rather, mausoleum
224 00:15:10 could be turned into a normal living room
225 00:15:12 where normal people
226 00:15:14 could relax and have normal conversation?
227 00:15:24 My father, Tecumseh Elijah Spivet,
228 00:15:27 was born 100 years too late.
229 00:15:29 He had the soul, stature, and mindset of a cowboy.
230 00:15:34 For him talking was a necessary chore,
231 00:15:36 as shoeing a horse.
232 00:15:39 Cellphone reception was nowhere to be found at coppertop ranch
233 00:15:42 and father refused to install a telephone
234 00:15:45 in Gracie's room.
235 00:15:47 And you heard in the voice?
236 00:15:49 Her looks.
237 00:15:51 Yeah, its no wonder in history of Miss America pagents Miss Montana never won.
238 00:15:55 Except, the worst selection ever!
239 00:15:58 every night in his setting room
240 00:16:01 father took off his boots
241 00:16:03 and muttering some cryptic statements
242 00:16:05 after raising glass of whiskey upto his lips
243 00:16:08 precisely every 45 seconds.
244 00:16:16 a conversion from a cricket.
245 00:16:19 crickets and insects,
246 00:16:21 were my mother's specialty.
247 00:16:25 Dr Clair spent most of her adult life
248 00:16:28 studying tiny creatures with the magnifying glass,
249 00:16:31 then classifying them into species ...
250 00:16:34 and subspecies.
251 00:16:36 What if it doesn't exist?
252 00:16:41 What?
253 00:16:43 I mean, for a year now, you stopped everything
254 00:16:46 to prove that tigermonk cicindele's exist
255 00:16:48 Stopped everything?
256 00:16:50 What do you mean, in a
257 00:16:51 maternal sense or a scientific one?
258 00:16:56 What is it that you want me to start doing again?
259 00:16:58 Or else I stopped doing?
260 00:17:02 I don't know.
261 00:17:03 Your research on the parasitic scolyte catepiller maybe?
262 00:17:07 Your findings could've saved all the pine trees in Montana.
263 00:17:10 Every other scientific attempt have failed.
264 00:17:12 Failed?
265 00:17:14 Form the ecologists point of view, maybe.
266 00:17:16 But from the caterpillar's point of view,
267 00:17:18 looks like a win win situation.
268 00:17:20 Anyway I never liked pine trees.
269 00:17:22 They're dripy and sticky.
270 00:17:24 Some things are just meant to die.
271 00:17:28 How my parents ever fell for each other is a mystery.
272 00:17:34 They were like day and night.
273 00:17:48 The human head lice, Pediculus humanus capitis
274 00:17:51 belong to the Anoplura family.
275 00:17:53 A. N. O. P. L. U. R. A.
276 00:17:56 T.S., When you drawing the legs,
277 00:17:58 make sure you observe not just how many there are but the exact distance between them.
278 00:18:02 Yeah. The exact distance between them.
279 00:18:06 Beware of mediocrity,
280 00:18:08 its the fungus of the mind.
281 00:18:10 We must constantly fight against it
282 00:18:12 or creeping to everything we do.
283 00:18:14 Darn!
284 00:18:17 Those got away.
285 00:18:20 A lasso to catch him.
286 00:18:25 Thanks, Dad.
287 00:18:26 A fool, by definition is the one who turns, what is beyond his middle grasp,
288 00:18:30 will do one big joke.
289 00:18:35 Then a few days later, at the end of the hallway,
290 00:18:39 their hands brushed against each other,
291 00:18:42 as if they were secretly exchanging a few seeds.
292 00:19:10 What?
293 00:19:16 And then there was Layton,
294 00:19:18 my dizygotic twin.
295 00:19:20 That's when two sperm cells fertilize two seperate eggs.
296 00:19:24 To each his own embryo
297 00:19:26 To each his own lucky star
298 00:19:28 Layton got the height and I got the neurons.
299 00:19:40 Mom! Yeah!
300 00:19:43 Have you ever gotten AIDS?
301 00:19:46 What?!
302 00:19:49 Angela Ashworth says AIDS are bad and you probably have them.
303 00:19:55 Well! next time, you just tell Angela Ashworth
304 00:19:59 Just because she feels insecure about being a little girl
305 00:20:02 in a society that puts an anointed amount of pressure on moment to the baptism physical standard
306 00:20:07 it doesn't mean that she had to take out her
307 00:20:09 misplaced self loathing on a nicer boy like you.
308 00:20:12 You may be an inherent part of the problem, but, certainly doesn't mean you have AIDS.
309 00:20:16 I'm not sure I can remember all that.
310 00:20:20 Well, just tell her ... she's fat.
311 00:20:24 OK.
312 00:20:25 But Layton died last year doing an accident with the gun in the old bar.
313 00:20:34 I don't know what went wrong.
314 00:20:36 I was there too. Measuring gun shots.
315 00:20:43 No one ever talked about it.
316 00:20:47 No one.
317 00:20:51 Not bad.
318 00:20:53 Except that we have to go over this a little bit.
319 00:20:56 Daisy ... B +.
320 00:20:59 Solid work.
321 00:21:01 Excellent illustrations of the lake formation process.
322 00:21:07 T.S... C+.
323 00:21:10 Report shows undeniable qualities,
324 00:21:13 but as usual, is way off subject.
325 00:21:16 What does the formation of lakes in Montana have anything to do
326 00:21:19 with the east-west migratory pattern of Canadian Geese.
327 00:21:23 Sir,
328 00:21:24 I'm not sure if you read the introduction ...But I
329 00:21:27 You think you're the smarter than everyone else, don't you?
330 00:21:30 As for the diagram, its very pretty
331 00:21:32 but scientifically erroneous.
332 00:21:35 Really, Sir?
333 00:21:37 Bacause I sent it to the Discover Magazine
334 00:21:39 and ... they like it, and they publish it.
335 00:21:48 Do not play games with me, T.S.
336 00:21:52 You're out of your league.
337 00:21:56 And what about the magnetic wheel?
338 00:21:59 Didn't mention anything about that.
339 00:22:01 I dont give a a rat's ass about the magnetic wheel
340 00:22:04 Mr. Stenpock, how can a man like you,
341 00:22:07 supposed to open our minds through scientific curiosity,
342 00:22:11 How can you be so aggresively narrow minded?
343 00:22:13 Every scientists were like you
344 00:22:15 The will be no penicillin,
345 00:22:16 no relativity,
346 00:22:17 or sewer trains,
347 00:22:18 Know what it would be, no chocolates or cookies!
348 00:22:23 Superiority complex, this is what you have. T.S.
349 00:22:26 Your talents in scientific observations would be put to better use
350 00:22:30 in picking your socks in the morning.
351 00:22:48 Lend me a hand for a second?
352 00:22:55 What's your need?
353 00:22:56 Settle out the creak. Its drying among its pockets.
354 00:22:58 We'll get her spit up all she has got before sunset.
355 00:23:02 Com'on.
356 00:23:14 To know that my father had to resort to ask me help from me,
357 00:23:18 his only remaining son
358 00:23:20 The one who is used to saw in the ranch
359 00:23:22 filled me with sadness.
360 00:23:29 Layton should have been here, not me.
361 00:23:34 One day, he shot a coyote with his Winchester from 200 yards.
362 00:23:39 Father was so impressed.
363 00:23:41 He took off his hat and slapped it on my brother's head.
364 00:23:45 It was a special moment.
365 00:23:47 I knew it would never happen to me.
366 00:23:52 She is still runnin a bit last week.
367 00:23:54 There's no back for got some juice.
368 00:23:59 Like the... the crickets teasing me.
369 00:24:06 Couple of months earlier,
370 00:24:08 I had built a scale model depicting the hydrology of our valley.
371 00:24:13 You could see the various water tables, drainage trenchs, soil compositions
372 00:24:17 and sweepage capacity.
373 00:24:34 Dad.
374 00:24:35 Dad! You wanna give it a look?
375 00:24:48 See... If you dig from here to there,
376 00:24:51 the water will be channeled to there.
377 00:24:53 thereby increasing the flow of water,
378 00:24:55 those thereby stagnating and evaporating.
379 00:25:00 'Cause the laws of fluid mechanics,
380 00:25:02 make it unstoppable.
381 00:25:03 You asked me I was just pissing the can.
382 00:25:06 Open your eyes, you'll see that.
383 00:25:24 That ignorant goats.
384 00:25:27 Don't worry, I've got it.
385 00:25:30 Right.
386 00:25:38 So this used to be coyote chow.
387 00:25:45 It's okay, Stinky, Don't worry.
388 00:25:47 I am not gonna hurt you. Don't worry.
389 00:25:55 Maybe dying on a ranch from a snakebite,
390 00:25:58 is more befitting than a self inflicted
391 00:26:00 gunshot going to the head
392 00:26:02 by an old rifle in a cold barn.
393 00:26:09 Fixing on kissing that poison rope?
394 00:26:17 We still got our bussiness day,isn't it?
395 00:26:24 That was the first time my father ever patted me on the back,
396 00:26:29 but I couldn't tell who was to brush me off, to reprimand me
397 00:26:32 or a substitute for a hug.
398 00:26:44 I would go to Washington DC tomorrow.
399 00:26:47 I was a researcher, scientist,
400 00:26:49 and they needed me there.
401 00:26:51 If I stayed here,
402 00:26:53 I end up turning around in circles,
403 00:26:55 like these bats.
404 00:26:57 I only do the echo of myself.
405 00:27:09 hurry, Gracie, come on.
406 00:27:18 What's for dinner tonight?
407 00:27:20 Puree Corn.
408 00:27:24 Hey T.S, can you take up my dish washing duties tonight?
409 00:27:27 I will make it upto you, I swear... Its...
410 00:27:29 Tonight, its Miss USA pagent, and I really don't wanna miss the opening.
411 00:27:32 You already owe me 4.
412 00:27:35 Miss USA!
413 00:27:36 And these women are picked for thier talents on what exactly?
414 00:27:39 Painting?
415 00:27:40 Yoga?
416 00:27:41 Karate, perhaps?
417 00:27:43 No mom.
418 00:27:45 Miss America is only the "talent" portion.
419 00:27:47 Miss USA is the beauty contest.
420 00:27:49 It's way better.
421 00:27:50 I still think its a mistake not to take into consideration
422 00:27:53 these girls intellectual attitudes.
423 00:27:56 Mom, it's a beauty contest.
424 00:27:58 It's Miss USA.
425 00:28:00 Otherwise, it would be called Miss High I.Q.
426 00:28:01 Which no one would watch,
427 00:28:03 because it would be boring,
428 00:28:04 like my life!
429 00:28:07 I'm sorry Gracie, but ...
430 00:28:09 you know what it,.. if you were to enter this kind of contest
431 00:28:12 It would be a mistake not to
432 00:28:13 showcase your talents as an actress... and as a singer
433 00:28:16 you have a pretty voice ... and you play the hobo.
434 00:28:32 I have to go to Kalispell tomorrow
435 00:28:34 to collect specimens
436 00:28:36 It'll be a few days.
437 00:28:38 I prepared all of your meals, so, all you have to do is reheat them.
438 00:28:43 Good deal.
439 00:28:56 T.S.
440 00:28:57 I've been thinking about what you told me the other day.
441 00:28:59 about what I used to do
442 00:29:01 that I stopped doing.
443 00:29:02 And I was wondering ...
444 00:29:04 will you come with me to Kalispell?
445 00:29:07 I would be great to have your help.
446 00:29:09 Mom, it's entertainment.
447 00:29:12 Entertainment!
448 00:29:21 You thought about what I asked you?
449 00:29:25 Sorry, I cant come with you to Kalispell tomorrow.
450 00:29:31 I have to finish a project for Mr. Stenpock.
451 00:29:35 OK.
452 00:29:37 Next time, I'll try and give you a notice.
453 00:30:15 You reached the Office of Ms. Jibsen, please leave a message.
454 00:30:20 By Jack Campbell speaking
455 00:30:21 The President of the University of Montana.
456 00:30:24 I have some good news.
457 00:30:25 Mr.T.S. Spivet has managed to rearrange his schedule.
458 00:30:28 So, He will be leaving...first thing tomorrow. He will not be reachable,
459 00:30:32 but will make just in time to accept the baird award
460 00:30:34 and make his speech or not.
461 00:30:35 Good night. I mean good morning...
462 00:30:38 Hey...I do not if you're aware anything, but ...
463 00:30:42 you are talking to a garbage can.
464 00:30:49 The four steps of packing
465 00:30:52 I was terrified at the thought of having to pack my suitcase.
466 00:30:55 Even packing for school everyday,
467 00:30:56 took me at the very least 23 min.
468 00:30:59 Maybe 22 min.
469 00:31:01 1 -Play and replay the scenario of the trip in my head.
470 00:31:07 2 -To arrange all necessary items
471 00:31:10 in order of importance.
472 00:31:12 Eight pair of underwear.
473 00:31:13 Two sextants.
474 00:31:15 Three burgundy sweaters.
475 00:31:17 One thermometer, One hygrometer, One barometer.
476 00:31:20 Only one telescope.
477 00:31:22 One frontal headlamp officially known as Tom.
478 00:31:25 Five blank red notebooks
479 00:31:27 And five blank purple notebooks
480 00:31:28 One tape measure,
481 00:31:30 and my set of Gillette pens
482 00:31:32 Twelve handkerchiefs.
483 00:31:33 A box of raisins.
484 00:31:35 Twelve carrot sticks.
485 00:31:37 Eleven.
486 00:31:38 A self-defense handbook.
487 00:31:40 My sparrow skeleton.
488 00:31:41 binoculars.
489 00:31:43 My Leatherman.
490 00:31:44 3 -Avoid thinking about a scenario for which I will need a seismoscope
491 00:31:48 for a woodpecker who would be pecking beak at the tree.
492 00:31:51 4 -Pack everything
493 00:31:53 and finally add my teddy bear Big Jojo.
494 00:31:58 At 4 o'clock in the morning,
495 00:32:00 my suitcase was finally ready.
496 00:32:39 Goodbye, Layton.
497 00:32:41 I'll be away for a while to Washington D.C.
498 00:32:46 I'll bring you back a souvenir.
499 00:32:53 I'm sorry for what I did.
500 00:33:09 Dear Spivet Family , I'm gone for a while to do some work.
501 00:33:13 Dont worry, I'll be fine.
502 00:33:15 I do not want to bother you by telling you about it ahead of time.
503 00:33:19 Thank you for taking care of me. You're one of the best families in the world.
504 00:33:24 Love, T.S.
505 00:33:28 Diary
506 00:33:53 Hello, Tapioca.
507 00:33:54 Hello.
508 00:33:56 I'll miss you.
509 00:33:57 Where are you going?
510 00:33:59 To the Smithsonian in Washington D.C.
511 00:34:03 It seems like everyone ends up
512 00:34:05 leaving in this house.
513 00:34:09 I'll be back.
514 00:35:02 Why had he not stopped?
515 00:35:05 Because I was responsible for his favorite son's death
516 00:35:08 and I must be banished from the ranch.
517 00:35:11 Thats why.
518 00:37:45 Hey, you!
519 00:37:47 Come back!
520 00:37:51 Hold on, kid!
521 00:37:59 Down!
522 00:38:01 From the top down!
523 00:38:10 -Ah! -Oh, my God!
524 00:38:33 The crossing
525 00:39:04 Sun Chemical composition:
526 00:39:06 hydrogen, helium, oxygen, iron
527 00:39:08 neon, nitrogen, silicon, magnesium
528 00:39:11 and sulfur.
529 00:39:15 "How beautiful the sun
530 00:39:16 "when newly risen,
531 00:39:18 "And explodes in the morning greetings
532 00:39:20 "Happy as the man who can lovingly salute its rising
533 00:39:24 "more glorious than a dream!"
534 00:39:59 What?
535 00:40:06 So,
536 00:40:08 You're officially a hobo now?
537 00:40:10 Well, incase you haven't noticed,
538 00:40:12 I'm heading a freight train right, on my way to Washington D.C.
539 00:40:16 And..What's an adventurer never leave aside?
540 00:40:20 His knife, his magnifying glass,
541 00:40:23 his maps, his whip
542 00:40:26 and his hat.
543 00:40:28 But, You have forgotten the whip.
544 00:40:31 -I'm glad you're here. -Me too. I'm glad you're here.
545 00:40:53 No! Not my Japanese weevils !
546 00:41:00 These larvae.. stay survived.. shipment across the Pacific ocean,
547 00:41:03 70 000 miles, to end up in the stomach of a goat?
548 00:41:06 It's just the ignorant Montana goats. They dont know any better.
549 00:41:10 Oh..well..If you can't manage your karate goats, maybe you should consider another line of work!
550 00:41:13 If that's what you think, you know, set the plate at the table for me.
551 00:41:17 If that's what you think, you know, set my plate at the table.
552 00:41:44 Security, track number 8.
553 00:41:49 Security, track number 8.
554 00:45:11 A melancholy feeling came over me, I cannot get rid of.
555 00:45:17 The motorhome was pointed backwards,
556 00:45:19 So, I had that depressing feeling that I was traveling in reverse.
557 00:47:00 Hello, kid.
558 00:47:02 Hey... Kid!
559 00:47:07 Come over.
560 00:47:09 Com'on, Come over.
561 00:47:16 Com'on, Get closer.
562 00:47:20 Hold It.
563 00:47:22 Hold It.
564 00:47:25 This is your first time?
565 00:47:27 Yes.
566 00:47:28 "Two Clouds".
567 00:47:30 "Two Clouds", that's my name.
568 00:47:32 I am T.S.
569 00:47:33 T for Tecumseh S for Sparrow
570 00:47:37 Sparrow, as in the bird?
571 00:47:39 Yes.
572 00:47:41 At the moment on my birth, a sparrow crashed through the window
573 00:47:45 and died right down kitchen floor.
574 00:47:48 Follow me.
575 00:47:59 Step on it.
576 00:48:01 Com'on!
577 00:48:21 You know why the right sole is more worn out than the left one?
578 00:48:26 Because one of your legs is shorter than the other?
579 00:48:28 Nope. Because these shoes belong to Johnny Cash
580 00:48:33 He always kept the beat.
581 00:48:38 You think the dead sparrow in your kitchen right when you were born
582 00:48:41 is a more credible story?
583 00:48:45 That's what mom told me.
584 00:48:48 Your mother gave birth in the kitchen?
585 00:48:55 You see?
586 00:48:56 What?
587 00:48:58 The Sparrow.
588 00:49:00 Once Upon a time
589 00:49:02 there was a sparrow that was very ill
590 00:49:04 didn't have the strength to go south.
591 00:49:06 Go without me, he told his children.
592 00:49:09 I'll find shelter from the cold
593 00:49:11 and I'll see you in spring.
594 00:49:18 So, did he survive?
595 00:49:20 The bird went to an oak tree
596 00:49:23 and asked if he could take shelter in his leaves.
597 00:49:26 But the oak was, the cold and arrogant tree,.. he refused.
598 00:49:31 The peach,.. the aspen,
599 00:49:33 the willow, the elm,
600 00:49:34 they all said no, can you believe this?
601 00:49:37 I guess.
602 00:49:39 Don't answer the question... It's part of the story...
603 00:49:42 Sorry!..
604 00:49:44 Then the first snows came.
605 00:49:47 The sparrow took a last chance with the pine tree, who said:
606 00:49:51 I can't offer you much protection,
607 00:49:53 I only have needles that let in draft
608 00:49:56 But my answer is ...
609 00:50:00 Yes.
610 00:50:02 Overjoyed, the sparrow took refuge there
611 00:50:06 and you know what?
612 00:50:10 He survived the winter.
613 00:50:12 The children returned and wept tears of joy.
614 00:50:16 Upon seeing this, the Creator decided to punish all the other trees for their selfishness.
615 00:50:21 From that day on,
616 00:50:22 every tree lost it's leaves in winter,
617 00:50:26 except the pine, who saved the sparrow.
618 00:50:32 My grandmother told me this story.
619 00:50:37 Had you ever heard it before?
620 00:50:42 You can answer now.
621 00:50:45 Story is finished!
622 00:50:49 The story is very pretty.
623 00:50:52 But, the insulating properties of pine needles
624 00:50:56 could not release the heat to create a warm enough cocoon
625 00:50:58 for a bird the size of a sparrow.
626 00:51:01 Your grandmother lied to you.
627 00:51:08 So where were you headed, T.S.?
628 00:51:11 To buy me a hot dog.
629 00:51:14 The old sea dog!
630 00:51:19 Captain's Choice!.. Huh!..
631 00:51:23 Quickly, it close in fifteen minutes.
632 00:51:27 Bye, Sparrow!..
633 00:51:29 See you, Bye!
634 00:51:31 I'm sure you will find your tree.
635 00:51:33 You too!
636 00:51:35 Dr. Clair ...
637 00:51:37 this time, you can't stop me.
638 00:51:51 And what is the reason behind this embargo?
639 00:51:56 T.S., Do you know where this smell of those marvellous sausages comes from?
640 00:51:59 It's from a smell factory, on the New Jersey Turnpike.
641 00:52:02 It was carefully designed and artificially synthesized
642 00:52:05 to maximize their desirability.
643 00:52:07 Do you like it one?
644 00:52:09 A drink with that?
645 00:52:11 Sure, Is that included?
646 00:52:12 Yeah, sure.
647 00:52:14 I'm gonna give you straw.
648 00:52:15 and one of my best hot dogs, I hope you like it.
649 00:52:20 Hi Marj.
650 00:52:22 I want you to look at this.
651 00:52:23 Some kid out of Montana
652 00:52:24 ran away or got himself kidnapped or something.
653 00:52:27 Can I know where to put that?
654 00:52:28 -Hmm.. just put up on the board. -Thanks
655 00:52:41 I know someone who ain't gonna be happy with you...
656 00:52:44 your mom!.
657 00:52:47 Just kiddin', young man.
658 00:52:49 But if you eat a hot dog before your dinner, you ain't gonna hungry for the soup she made ya.
659 00:52:53 I don't hav a mother around. My parents are dead.
660 00:52:58 You take care little guy.
661 00:53:00 You see what happens
662 00:53:01 to kids that go astray?
663 00:53:25 Hey?
664 00:53:27 Hey, T.S.?
665 00:53:29 My son!
666 00:53:30 You have been kidnapped?
667 00:53:32 Oh! Thank God! What a relief.
668 00:53:34 Baby, baby, you know, you're right,
669 00:53:37 I've been wasting my time certain cicindele...
670 00:53:39 Son, we still got a situation with the creek.
671 00:53:42 You're spot on with that covert.
672 00:53:44 What you say come right back, and, and we work on your plans together.
673 00:53:47 T.S., you have to come home 'cause you said you'll make my Halloween costume.
674 00:53:51 Com'on baby!.
675 00:54:35 May be somewhere in one of these houses
676 00:54:37 a boy just woke up from the sound of my train.
677 00:54:41 Maybe he is wondering
678 00:54:43 what it would be like to climb aboard and cross the desert.
679 00:54:48 God' I just want to switch places with him
680 00:54:51 and just watch the train go awaying to the unknown.
681 00:54:57 I had to admit it.
682 00:54:59 I was not a careless drifter,
683 00:55:02 just a tiny old boy, who ran away from home.
684 00:55:08 Any more or less, Can I assume be peeing on my sofa,
685 00:55:11 like when I was little
686 00:55:13 and afraid of a Jack O'Lantern's deadly fangs.
687 00:56:39 Layton Age 6.
688 00:56:43 T.S. Age 6.
689 00:56:59 Patterns of cross talk and directional eyelines by T.S. Spivet.
690 00:57:03 Frequency of father's eye contact to T.S. : Nil
691 00:57:08 Why?
692 00:57:09 Is it the T.S. is more like me?
693 00:57:13 He doesn't like what I am.
694 00:57:14 He doesn't love me.
695 00:57:18 He doesn't love me...
696 00:57:19 Of course he loves you!
697 00:57:21 You love each other!
698 00:57:24 If we make a baby, it means we love each other, right?
699 00:57:29 And they had three babies. Ain't that right?
700 00:57:42 I still catch myself haunting to wake him up for school.
701 00:58:03 Sorry!.. Sorry.
702 00:58:06 Stopped everything?
703 00:58:07 What do you mean in a maternal sense or a scientific one?
704 00:58:10 T.S. came to see me in my study,
705 00:58:12 for the first time since the accident.
706 00:58:17 I'm not really there for T.S. anymore...
707 00:58:20 I'm like an empty house.
708 00:58:55 Nature had vanished.
709 00:58:59 Every millimeter of landscape
710 00:59:02 was replaced by manmade constructions
711 00:59:05 ruled by the laws of geometry.
712 00:59:07 How could humans create so many right angles
713 00:59:11 when their behavior is so convoluted and illogical?
714 00:59:39 See you, old sea dog.
715 00:59:44 I'm sure you'll find your pine tree.
716 01:00:27 Playing hookey from kindergarten?
717 01:00:31 Hey! Hey!
718 01:00:33 I'm talking to you.
719 01:00:34 No, sir.
720 01:00:35 What you got in the bag?
721 01:00:37 Spray paint? You vandalized in snitch, you paint that silo?
722 01:00:41 I love Chicago.
723 01:00:44 What?
724 01:00:50 Are you shitting me, snitch? Where you from?
725 01:00:54 Chernobyl.
726 01:00:56 Oh, Yeah!.. Well,
727 01:00:59 You little shit!
728 01:01:03 Welcome to the great state of Illinois.
729 01:01:05 And I'm sure you're gonna get to know what really well after I book you
730 01:01:07 for tresspassing, destruction of railroad priority.
731 01:01:11 Railroad Property.
732 01:01:13 What?
733 01:01:14 Property, You said priority.
734 01:01:17 Get in the car!
735 01:01:19 Hey!

755 01:02:47 Hey!..You think you got away?..huh!
756 01:02:49 Well done! Hey, over here!
757 01:02:52 You think you got away with this.. huh?
758 01:02:55 Is that what you thinking? huh..
759 01:02:56 No way, kid!
760 01:02:58 listen to.., Snitch, look at me!
761 01:03:00 Look at me, Snitch!
762 01:03:03 Look me in the eye..What's the matter? You don't wanna look in the eye?
763 01:03:06 Right here!
764 01:03:10 I'm gonna find you!
765 01:04:17 How're doin', man? You don't look so hot.
766 01:04:19 I'm ok.
767 01:04:21 I just fell down and hurt myself.
768 01:04:23 Where you're heading for, like this, man?
769 01:04:26 To the Smithsonian.
770 01:04:29 Where?
771 01:04:31 D.C. is in Washington, man.
772 01:04:50 My name is Ricky.
773 01:04:53 T.S.
774 01:04:54 Put your seatbelt on, T.S.
775 01:05:06 Show me.
776 01:05:10 That's a real deal!
777 01:05:12 Hurt when you breathe?
778 01:05:14 You got maybe one, two broken ribs. You seriously need to see a medic.
779 01:05:19 No, I'll be okay.
780 01:05:23 Tough little bugger, ain't you.
781 01:05:36 Always take two pictures of hitchhikers.
782 01:05:39 One when I pick'em up,
783 01:05:40 one when I drop'em off.
784 01:05:51 Even in the service,
785 01:05:52 I was taking pictures.
786 01:05:54 That guy,
787 01:05:55 was a hitchhiker too?
788 01:05:58 Well... Not exactly.
789 01:06:01 What do you think?
790 01:06:02 Join the army, see the world, arresting people ...
791 01:06:06 and kill'em.
792 01:06:43 The East.
793 01:06:52 Where are we?
794 01:06:54 Not far from where you are headed.
795 01:07:08 Not sure what you are looking for, but don't change a thing.
796 01:07:11 Steady in your boots.
797 01:07:12 Good luck, man.
798 01:07:14 I'm not sure what you are looking for either, but you will sure find your pine tree, man.
799 01:07:52 Young man?.. Are you alright? Are you injured?
800 01:07:55 Cathy, I need information.
801 01:07:57 You look like you need medical assistance.
802 01:08:00 I would like to speak with Mrs. G. H. Jibsen, please.
803 01:08:03 I'm here to give a speech tomorrow night.
804 01:08:08 What's your name?
805 01:08:08 T.S.Spivet.
806 01:08:18 Just a moment.
807 01:08:20 You're T.S. Spivet,
808 01:08:22 or your father is T.S. Spivet?
809 01:08:26 I am T.S. Spivet.
810 01:08:33 He claims to be, he actually is T.S. Spivet.
811 01:08:37 He is 9 or 10 years older
812 01:08:39 and very, very, very ...
813 01:08:41 small.
814 01:08:42 Alright, that would be wonderful, thank you.
815 01:08:45 Miss Jibsen is on her way down.
816 01:08:48 You can have a seat over there.
817 01:08:52 Thank you.
818 01:09:03 You're here?
819 01:09:07 Never too far away you know.
820 01:09:09 Yeah, I know.
821 01:09:12 See!... Made it to the Smithsonian.
822 01:09:20 The worst is yet to come.
823 01:09:24 Can help you, young man?
824 01:09:28 Ms. Jibsen?
825 01:09:29 Hello.
826 01:09:31 I am T.S. Spivet. I made it here.
827 01:09:36 You're the one I talked to in the phone, last friday?
828 01:09:40 Yes.
829 01:09:42 So, where is your father?
830 01:09:45 In fact, he is dead.
831 01:09:47 I lied to you then.
832 01:09:51 So, who sent me the prototype of the magnet wheel?
833 01:09:55 I did.
834 01:09:58 What, you expect me to belive that you invented it?
835 01:10:02 Not really.
836 01:10:04 I don't invent anything.
837 01:10:09 I just transposed the principle of
838 01:10:11 an electron gravitating around the nucleus.
839 01:10:14 But as you know, to simulate its perpetual motion
840 01:10:17 would require the creation
841 01:10:19 of a negative entropy,
842 01:10:21 which is simply not possible.
843 01:10:23 You must agree.. right?
844 01:10:28 This can't..
845 01:10:30 This can't be.. How old are you?
846 01:10:34 10.
847 01:10:41 We're not gonna be ought to turn him into great communicator,
848 01:10:44 but with the right clothes and some solid talking points, no problem.
849 01:10:49 Oh, yes.. In his eyes, I am the Scientific Authority of
850 01:10:53 everything he admires.
851 01:10:55 Okay, I'll talk to you later.
852 01:11:01 So, You need to keep him?
853 01:11:03 Nope.
854 01:11:05 But with multiple fractures, he needs to rest.
855 01:11:08 Any abrupt movement
856 01:11:11 and not cough or laugh.
857 01:11:14 Good luck.
858 01:11:16 How do you feel?
859 01:11:18 Like that mule done kick me good.
860 01:11:20 Its my dad's expression.
861 01:11:23 You have seen as miss your parents very much.
862 01:11:33 I'm so sorry!
863 01:11:38 So, I talked to some colleagues at the Smithsonian.
864 01:11:42 And, everybody is ecstatic that you've
865 01:11:44 chosen for this award.
866 01:11:47 You have to give me their names. I'll thank them in my speech.
867 01:11:50 On that topic..
868 01:11:53 I think we can quote something up for you.
869 01:11:57 I prefer to write my own speech. Thank you.
870 01:12:02 OK.
871 01:12:05 You certainly don't waste any time about it, do you?
872 01:12:09 No, this is a purple note book.
873 01:12:10 If i'll be writing my speech, it would be in the red one.
874 01:12:13 Yes, of course. And the purple one is for ...?
875 01:12:16 "General Considerations."
876 01:12:17 Such as?
877 01:12:19 When did the child become an adult?
878 01:12:22 And?
879 01:12:24 When you don't get excited about Christmas,
880 01:12:26 When you wear reading glass right a minute but can't see to find them anywhere
881 01:12:29 When you pay income tax and enjoy getting angry discussing,
882 01:12:32 "What the heck are they going to do with all your money?"
883 01:12:36 And when you look down on children whatever is going on in their little heads.
884 01:12:41 If 2x goes into 100 and x is an integer, How many of the
885 01:12:44 2x + 2 integers will be divisible by 3n/2
886 01:12:49 (2x-1)=(3x+1), what is x?
887 01:12:53 how many possible integers less than 5000 are even integers...
888 01:12:56 out of 15 or 21.
889 01:12:59 What you doing?
890 01:13:01 I am like a dolphin.
891 01:13:03 Turning one side of a brain off and other one on.
892 01:13:06 So, That's what dolpins do?
893 01:13:08 Yeah, to sleep.
894 01:13:12 You're funny.
895 01:13:13 Why?
896 01:13:15 You travelled by yourself half across United States
897 01:13:18 to end up like a lab rat?
898 01:13:28 This defies all understanding.
899 01:13:30 Superior mental activity?
900 01:13:33 Superior to an average of an ocean mammal that is.
901 01:13:36 You could train him like a highly intelligent seal.
902 01:13:40 I'm sorry,
903 01:13:41 but you don't invent the perpetual movement machine
904 01:13:45 by balancing a ball on your nose!
905 01:13:49 Thank you for evaluating my brain, Jodie.
906 01:14:29 Will you like some
907 01:14:30 tuna tartare and grilled asparagus sprinkled with
908 01:14:32 balsamic vinegar reduction?
909 01:14:36 Sir, Why you hiding your white glove behind your back?
910 01:14:41 That's just how they told me to stand.
911 01:14:44 Otherwise, I'll get fired.
912 01:14:46 Well, I like your white gloves. Congratulations.
913 01:14:51 Thanks.
914 01:14:55 I almost forgot this.
915 01:14:56 In case someone mistakes you for a kid whose parents couldn't round up.
916 01:15:00 A babysitter.
917 01:15:07 Sorry.
918 01:15:10 I want to be the first to congratulate you.
919 01:15:12 We are so lucky to have a boy like you!...so lucky!
920 01:15:16 What was your first invention?
921 01:15:17 Do you think your parents will be proud of you?
922 01:15:18 What is your astrological sign?
923 01:15:26 So, Any other questions?
924 01:15:28 Did you ever think that you would find another suitable candidate?
925 01:15:31 I remember,
926 01:15:32 Sitting in my office,
927 01:15:34 before I called him on the ranch,
928 01:15:36 and I said to myself,
929 01:15:38 he is only 10,
930 01:15:40 but let's do this!
931 01:15:45 They're eating you up, they'll love you.
932 01:15:50 In 1862 a Frenchman named Guillaume Duchenne
933 01:15:54 discovered the difference between fake and genuine smiles.
934 01:15:58 In a fake smile, it's not just the zygomatic muscles work,
935 01:16:01 the muscles around the eyes also contract unconsciously.
936 01:16:05 Tonight it was entirely ocular-zygomaticus.
937 01:16:14 Ladies and gentlemen,
938 01:16:16 please welcome President of the Smithsonian,
939 01:16:19 Dr. Leonard Sullivan.
940 01:16:28 Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen
941 01:16:30 and thank you to our guest of honor.
942 01:16:34 At a time
943 01:16:35 when science is being challenged in every turn
944 01:16:37 when we are witnessing a return to intellectual obscurity,
945 01:16:40 I can not resist
946 01:16:42 the temptation to quote Albert Einstein.
947 01:16:45 He said ...
948 01:16:46 "Only two things are infinite:"
949 01:16:49 "the universe and human stupidity ..."
950 01:16:52 and, I'm not sure about the former
951 01:16:55 But I know a third example:
952 01:16:59 human genius.
953 01:17:01 Our guest of honor tonight is a magnificient example of this.
954 01:17:04 I invite you to show him
955 01:17:06 all the respect he deserves,
956 01:17:08 despite his young years.
957 01:17:10 Ladies and gentlemen, T.S. Spivet.
958 01:18:04 Hello everybody.
959 01:18:08 My name is T.S. Spivet,
960 01:18:11 I am 10 years old
961 01:18:13 and I am actually in sixth grade.
962 01:18:18 Is there anyone in this room,
963 01:18:19 who doesn't already atleast have a PhD?
964 01:18:24 Any one?
965 01:18:28 So, I probably won't be teaching you much tonight.
966 01:18:32 But I like to tell you three things.
967 01:18:34 First,
968 01:18:37 thank you ...
969 01:18:38 Thank you for not cancelling my award 'cause I was younger than you expected.
970 01:18:43 Second , the wheel.
971 01:18:46 As you can see they are powered by magnets.
972 01:18:49 Yet as you know,
973 01:18:50 they demagnetize within approximately 400 years.
974 01:18:53 On a human scale, it sounds like a lot.
975 01:18:56 In geological time, it's not even a fraction of a second.
976 01:18:59 So, we're actually far from having a perpetual motion.
977 01:19:13 Any Questions?
978 01:19:16 Yes, what is the third point?
979 01:19:21 Oh yes, the third ...
980 01:19:32 My brother died this year.
981 01:19:40 He shot himself in the barn.
982 01:19:43 No one talks about it.
983 01:19:45 No one ever said "Layton shot himself in the barn."
984 01:19:50 No one.
985 01:19:53 Layton and Me we were always very different.
986 01:19:58 I have been doing my scientific experiments,
987 01:20:00 and, he would be shooting empty bean cans and coyotes with his Winchester.
988 01:20:06 So, I came up with this idea to make sound waves match the gunshots.
989 01:20:10 That way we could play something together.
990 01:20:12 He would shoot, and I gathered data.
991 01:20:17 And
992 01:20:19 one of his Winchester has jammed.
993 01:20:24 I held the bottom of the rifle to help out.
994 01:20:28 I didn't even touched the trigger.
995 01:20:32 There was an explosion.
996 01:20:40 Layton flew across the room.
997 01:20:44 Blood...
998 01:20:46 dripped off the hay.
999 01:20:52 He was there,
1000 01:20:54 but he wasn't my brother anymore.
1001 01:21:01 I was alone.
1002 01:21:07 I ran to the field to get my father.
1003 01:21:10 His face clenched up when I said Layton had hurt himself badly.
1004 01:21:15 He ran back, and I stayed there,
1005 01:21:17 not knowing where to go.
1006 01:21:21 Then I ran to the house and hid in the bathroom.
1007 01:21:26 I could hear my father whispering on the phone.
1008 01:21:31 And through the window, I saw the ambulance pull without the flashing lights.
1009 01:21:39 After a while, Gracie showed up.
1010 01:21:41 She was crying.
1011 01:21:44 She sat next to me in the floor
1012 01:21:48 We stayed a long time like that.
1013 01:21:51 Lying on the floor without talking.
1014 01:22:01 I wanted you to know how proud I am to get this award.
1015 01:22:04 I'll do my best to fulfill your trust in me,
1016 01:22:07 and to be in the service of science.
1017 01:22:09 That's all I had to say. Thank you.
1018 01:22:30 T.S., Oh...
1019 01:23:11 The amazing thing about water drops,
1020 01:23:14 is that they always take the path of least resistance.
1021 01:23:18 For humans,
1022 01:23:20 it's exactly the opposite.
1023 01:23:25 When Layton died,
1024 01:23:27 Tapioca started chewing metal buckets till it's gums bled.
1025 01:23:33 Layton and Tapioca had been inseparable.
1026 01:23:37 And then one day,
1027 01:23:39 Gracie took him for a long walk through the meadow.
1028 01:23:43 They sat for a while facing the mountains.
1029 01:23:50 Gracie returned with a new kind of understanding in their eyes.
1030 01:23:54 Tapioca stopped chewing metal buckets.
1031 01:23:57 He went back to snapping at fireflies, just like before.
1032 01:24:01 As if he had made peace with lossing his master.
1033 01:24:05 Maybe someday, I'll go back snapping at fireflies too.
1034 01:24:11 I swear to you.
1035 01:24:13 They loved...They loved the kid! I mean,
1036 01:24:17 Granted they are just a bunch of scientists,
1037 01:24:19 but if their reaction is anything like the way the general public is gonna respond,
1038 01:24:23 we've got a gold mine on our hands here!
1039 01:24:27 People are so predictable
1040 01:24:30 it's nuts, really.
1041 01:24:31 I should write a handbook on how to move the masses.
1042 01:24:35 Hang on!
1043 01:24:36 Honey! Smile!
1044 01:24:40 No, I think it would be better if you're sketching in your notebook.
1045 01:24:43 But, I didn't bring one.
1046 01:24:44 Sally, can we have a notebook here, Quick.
1047 01:24:47 Hang on a minute, problem with the kid.
1048 01:24:52 There you go.
1049 01:24:53 But, It's not the right colour. I'd never sketch on a green notebook.
1050 01:24:57 This is just a photograph, nobody cares.
1051 01:25:00 OK, so, where were we? Oh Yeah.
1052 01:25:03 Its amazing!
1053 01:25:04 Wow. Thank you.
1054 01:25:09 Now, I don't want to get your hopes up, but ...
1055 01:25:12 Listen to this:
1056 01:25:14 The White House is sniffing around!
1057 01:25:18 The White House?
1058 01:25:21 The President stated the union addresses next week, and they,
1059 01:25:24 and they love having talking points in the audience.
1060 01:25:28 I can hear 'em now,
1061 01:25:29 "Look, the American educational system is working."
1062 01:25:35 What we really need
1063 01:25:37 are pictures of your parents.
1064 01:25:39 Especially your brother.
1065 01:25:41 Preferably holding a gun, with you in the background, that would be perfect.
1066 01:25:45 Tomorrow, we go to New York , do Letterman
1067 01:25:47 and possibly 60 minutes of us not affirmed up yet.
1068 01:25:49 I mean, If they could just cut through the crap and make up their minds.
1069 01:25:52 The eyes dont have time to delete, Ally.
1070 01:25:54 There are people lining up to book us.
1071 01:26:26 Attention all units, 6 minutes after the start of live.
1072 01:26:29 There you go honey!
1073 01:26:32 You look like a movie star!
1074 01:26:36 Ok, Listen up, T.S.
1075 01:26:38 This shows rating is through the roof.
1076 01:26:40 But, they're gonna wanna ambush you
1077 01:26:41 It's just the price you have to pay, got it?
1078 01:26:49 He's gonna talk about Layton, for sure.
1079 01:26:52 So, you saw the accident ...
1080 01:26:56 You saw the accident, you didn't understand what happened,
1081 01:26:59 you ran for help, that's it. Remember,
1082 01:27:02 do not express any kind of guilt.
1083 01:27:04 you listening?
1084 01:27:06 Not until we consult with our lawyers. You understood all that?
1085 01:27:10 We're live in 5 minutes.
1086 01:27:12 You're gonna go back to the green room.
1087 01:27:14 Well.. No, surely, it is normal for a representative of the Smithsonian...
1088 01:27:18 Miss Jibsen, you'll love our green room.
1089 01:27:20 You can watch the entire show there
1090 01:27:22 on a monitor.
1091 01:27:26 But he is only 10... I mean, ...
1092 01:27:28 T.S., Call me Roy.
1093 01:27:29 Hello Roy.
1094 01:27:31 First time on TV?
1095 01:27:33 Lets do it.
1096 01:27:40 Roy.
1097 01:27:41 We're live in 10 seconds.
1098 01:27:43 On the air in... 10, 9, 8 ...
1099 01:27:46 7, 6, 5...
1100 01:27:50 4, 3, 2...
1101 01:28:03 1!
1102 01:28:06 My guest tonight has dominated this week's headlines.
1103 01:28:09 He is to science what Mozart is to music.
1104 01:28:12 T.S. Spivet, just 10 years old,
1105 01:28:14 and he had sprinted ahead of legions of scientists
1106 01:28:17 to win this year's coveted Baird Award.
1107 01:28:19 T.S., you're 10 years old,
1108 01:28:22 You're an orphan, you grew upon a remote ranch in Montana,
1109 01:28:25 your dad wanted you to be
1110 01:28:27 a cowboy. Am I right so far?
1111 01:28:30 Hmm..Yes.
1112 01:28:31 Coppertop Ranch, 4.73 miles
1113 01:28:34 north of the Divide, 14.92 miles ...
1114 01:28:37 Tell me T.S., How does a 10 year old win the Baird Award?
1115 01:28:41 Did the proverbial apple just fall
1116 01:28:43 on your head
1117 01:28:44 and light bulb, you invent
1118 01:28:45 the perpetual motion machine?
1119 01:28:49 It actually already existed.
1120 01:28:51 But, we needed to invented
1121 01:28:52 was a system to ...
1122 01:28:54 At an age when most 10 year olds
1123 01:28:56 are climbing trees, what do you do for fun?
1124 01:28:59 Trigonometry?
1125 01:29:01 I like climbing trees.
1126 01:29:04 OK.
1127 01:29:06 You've been conducting scientific experiments
1128 01:29:08 since the age of 4.
1129 01:29:10 Last year, one of those went
1130 01:29:11 tragically wrong and resulted in the death
1131 01:29:14 of your twin brother, Layton.
1132 01:29:24 I did not understand what happened.
1133 01:29:27 I ran to get help, that's all.
1134 01:29:30 OK.
1135 01:29:32 And oddly, the time has come to take a look
1136 01:29:35 at this extraordinary invention.
1137 01:29:37 This is the first perpetual motion machine
1138 01:29:41 in the history of mankind.
1139 01:30:03 Well, T.S. How does it work...
1140 01:30:05 Liza! Do you see him?
1141 01:30:09 That's is my brother. I can't believe he is on TV!
1142 01:30:12 I mean, This is the same spice that wore Velcro on his shoes untill he's 8 years old
1143 01:30:16 because he couldn't tie his own laces.
1144 01:30:19 he is on TV!
1145 01:30:22 He went that time when he almost electrocuted me with his seismograph.
1146 01:30:26 Oh thats, its not mention that on TV ...
1147 01:30:30 T.S., how long can the little wheel turn
1148 01:30:33 and produce energy
1149 01:30:35 without consuming energy?
1150 01:30:37 400 years then you have to recharge the magnets.
1151 01:30:41 400 years!
1152 01:30:42 so, you saying if this machine were 100 times larger
1153 01:30:45 it could power all of the lights in this building for 400 years
1154 01:30:48 without spending a dime in electricity?
1155 01:30:51 Well, you still have to change the light bulbs
1156 01:30:53 given the ratio of lighting square footage,
1157 01:30:56 that's still significant cost.
1158 01:30:59 I think the time has come to introduce a
1159 01:31:01 very special guest,
1160 01:31:03 T.S.'s mother, Dr. Clair.
1161 01:31:21 Hello T.S.
1162 01:31:23 Hello Mom.
1163 01:31:25 Ah, fuck!
1164 01:31:28 Dr. Clair, you have come here directly from Montana
1165 01:31:31 you are T.S.'s mother, correct?
1166 01:31:34 Yes. That's right.
1167 01:31:36 Fuck.
1168 01:31:37 T.S., why did you say in the media that you
1169 01:31:41 were an orphan, is this some spin coming from the Smithsonian?
1170 01:31:45 I don't know.
1171 01:31:47 I thought they would send me back home before I could receive the award.
1172 01:31:51 Dr. Clair, You must have been worried sick,
1173 01:31:53 I mean, he is so small.
1174 01:31:56 Yes, well, when a child disappears,
1175 01:31:58 the world stops turning.
1176 01:32:01 But, surely you must have been very angry. When you heard..
1177 01:32:04 With all the respect
1178 01:32:05 You asked me a question, I would like to finish my answer.
1179 01:32:10 When your child disappears
1180 01:32:13 well, you'll lose your sanity.
1181 01:32:15 Some will channel their anger by kicking goats out of barbwire.
1182 01:32:18 I'm sorry..Goats! We're talking goats?
1183 01:32:21 Others will surf the beetles that don't exist.
1184 01:32:26 Those are just feared merely take a train that is never coming back
1185 01:32:29 so sometimes you just stop by the tracks,
1186 01:32:31 and stare at the rails.
1187 01:32:36 So you read my journal ...
1188 01:32:42 I'm sorry.
1189 01:32:43 I know it's not right.
1190 01:32:46 What about giving a gun to a child as a gift?
1191 01:32:50 Or letting two kids play
1192 01:32:52 with a gun, in a barn,
1193 01:32:55 unsupervised...
1194 01:32:58 You think that's right?
1195 01:33:00 That's good question actually!
1196 01:33:01 T.S.
1197 01:33:03 What happened in the barn?
1198 01:33:06 T.S.?
1199 01:33:08 Wasn't your fault, T.S.
1200 01:33:13 It wasn't your fault.
1201 01:33:18 It wasn't.
1202 01:33:20 It wasn't anyone's fault.
1203 01:33:25 It was an accident.
1204 01:33:28 As your father said,
1205 01:33:31 what happened ...
1206 01:33:35 just happened...
1207 01:33:39 OK, I think,
1208 01:33:42 T.S. .. Dr Clair
1209 01:33:43 We should,.. We should have a moment.
1210 01:33:45 Just...just forget the cameras
1211 01:33:47 and the audience,
1212 01:33:48 and just.. maybe...
1213 01:33:51 hug?
1214 01:33:53 Cry? Touch, maybe?
1215 01:33:55 Actually, I wanna ask you about beauty pageants.
1216 01:33:58 I know Miss America
1217 01:34:00 and Miss USA different,
1218 01:34:01 But the criteria they use
1219 01:34:03 ..is shameful.. Why?..
1220 01:34:06 Mom! Mom!
1221 01:34:07 I guess the crown necessarily be a ravishing beauty...
1222 01:34:09 ..underfed... Mom!
1223 01:34:12 What?
1224 01:34:13 Oh, Yeah.
1225 01:34:14 You will stay here or go?
1226 01:34:16 Go.
1227 01:34:30 A river... of emotion ...
1228 01:34:32 No, No, come back!
1229 01:34:35 This is a 20 minute interview, there's 9 minutes left.
1230 01:34:45 This is reality, this is better than science!
1231 01:34:47 This is cable TV.
1232 01:34:50 You're a filthy little liar.
1233 01:34:54 You're a little m***r.
1234 01:34:59 Wait! wait! Oh!
1235 01:35:01 Where do you think you are going?
1236 01:35:03 To Coppertop ranch.
1237 01:35:16 Cut!
1238 01:35:19 You OK?
1239 01:35:24 Reckon if you're OK, that's all it gots!
1240 01:35:28 My boy's OK.
1241 01:35:32 So, I'm mute..
1242 01:35:34 and I'm dead?
1243 01:35:37 Sorry, Dad.
1244 01:35:47 How come you didn't stop that morning when you saw me on the road?
1245 01:35:52 Rancher's word , I never saw you.
1246 01:36:36 I need a box of biscuits, a box of mixed biscuits and a biscuit mixer.
1247 01:36:43 Are you talking to me or are you talking to the peanut butter?
1248 01:36:47 Its a diction exercise, moron.
1249 01:36:49 You'd be better out trying some yourself enough here
1250 01:36:51 or make it on TV again.
1251 01:36:54 I've got some more to do in the public speaking department.
1252 01:36:56 How about you just show us how its done the day you're in a movie.
1253 01:37:00 Yeah, or in the running for Miss Montana.
1254 01:37:04 Or a reality show about a normal person
1255 01:37:08 living with a bunch of insane hostile degenerates.
1256 01:37:11 Speaking of which, does anyone know
1257 01:37:14 if or when your father is showing up for breakfast?
1258 01:37:30 You guys don't ever made up?
1259 01:37:35 Look, I know goats eat everything, including paper... I get'em, I get'em.
1260 01:37:40 But, the fact that one of them
1261 01:37:41 climbed through the kitchen window and eat all my notes
1262 01:37:44 on the female Ontophagus sagittarius, and how it copulates with its horns
1263 01:37:48 that is inexcusable.
1264 01:37:52 It's okay, it's okay.
1265 01:37:55 He's just kicking.
1266 01:37:56 I thought you're going to give birth on the kitchen again?
1267 01:37:58 Again? I never gave birth in kitchen.
1268 01:38:02 Really?
1269 01:38:03 Then, why is my name Sparrow?
1270 01:38:06 No, That was Gracie's idea.
1271 01:38:08 She found a dead sparrow
1272 01:38:10 here in the kitchen, the day I had you in the hospital.
1273 01:38:13 So she concluded that you were the reincarnation of the sparrow.
1274 01:38:17 I know when I die, an elephant will be born.
1275 01:38:21 Oh, no!
1276 01:38:25 Statistically speaking,
1277 01:38:27 there are better chances that next newborn Spivet, will be
1278 01:38:30 the reincarnation ...
1279 01:38:32 of a toaster.
1280 01:38:35 And in mean time,
1281 01:38:36 I had only one month left to finish my plans
1282 01:38:39 for a new perpetual motion machine.
1283 01:39:14 Beware mediocrity ...
1284 01:39:16 mold of mind.
1285 01:39:19 We're talking about Baird prize!
1286 01:39:24 Armas nunca mais, meninos!
1287 01:39:34 Entertainment. Between di-ver-sion!
1288 01:39:39 Alas!
1289 01:39:43 A river of emotions.
1290 01:39:45 The story ended
1291 01:39:49 Do not play this with me, T. S.
1292 01:39:56 Take care, kid.
1293 01:40:01 What's your name?
1294 01:40:03 Ladies and Gentlemen: T.S Spivet!
