You look beautiful.
Shut up and kiss me.
Sheriff Hubert.
John Sturgis.
Hey, John.
Connie. So nice to hear from you.
You'll never guess what I'm doing.
Tell me.
I am working on a solar neutrino detector.
Wow. I was going to guess making soft boiled
eggs.
Ha, ha. Yeah.
Sheldon and Linklater asked me to help him
out.
Oh. Linklater's involved.
He's not so bad.
You and he aren't.
Oh, no, no, no. I'm still seeing Dale.
Okay, good.
I can handle you with a guy who sells
volleyballs, but you with another scientist.
It'd be like a dagger in the heart.
No daggers here.
So tell me about this experiment.
Well, I don't know if you know this, but
solar neutrinos are like little messengers
from the center of the sun.
I did know that, But it's delightful to hear
you say it.
Well, enjoy. Cause that's about all I
remember. So what's new about you?
Well, let's see.
Oh, yesterday I had my first breakfast
burrito. Oh.
Good for you. How was it?
Confusing. I ordinarily have burritos for
lunch or dinner.
I don't know how to respond to that.
You're working on an experiment, and I'm
eating dinner for breakfast.
It's a crazy world.
Oh. Well.
I've got to get back to the library.
But this is so much more fun than books.
Well, I'll be seeing you tonight.
Oh.
You'll be seeing all of me.
I think this might be my finest work.
And she made my dinner mittens, so that means
a lot.
Oh, I can't thank you enough.
Shall we apply the empirical method?
Yes, the empirical method.
Let's apply that.
What?
Now I feel like I might have overstepped my
bounds last night, so I just wanted to bring
you these and apologize.
Thank you. And I did mean it.
If you ever need to talk, I'm here.
Appreciate it.
It's more than Billy.
Herschel moved out.
Oh, Brenda, I'm so sorry.
Do you want to come in?
Of course.
So what's with the box?
The experiment needs to be in complete
darkness to work.
We watch these monitors for the results.
Okay. All that's left is to turn on the
cameras. Sheldon, will you get the lights?
Yes, sir.
Is that to make it more dramatic?
It's so that.
We can better see the flashes on the monitor.
But a little drama never hurts.
All right, here we go.
Commencement of the solar neutrino detector
prototype. In three, two, one.
I don't see anything.
Give it a moment.
Is that it?. That's it.
We did it.
Phase one is a success.
Congratulations.
Look at the. Beautiful.
Neutrinos.
Those aren't neutrinos.
What are you talking about? That's what we're
looking for.
That's just radioactivity.
Well, then, when do we find the neutrinos?
We don't.
This is just a prototype.
You kidding me?
The actual device needed would be the size of
a building.
And that's 20 to 30 years away.
Well, I. Could be dead by then.
You still may have helped advance science.
Unless another team beats us to it.
I'm going to wait in the car.
If it helps in 30 years, I should still be
alive.
