Brainstorm Page #3

I am a doctor!

What's going on? Are you crazy?

This is the ladies' room.

It's the ladies' room!

Can I help you?

It makes me sick when I lose my temper.

- Here she is.

- I don't want that thing, Gordy.

Hal, I can't believe

that you didn't know about it.

Everybody at this party played it.

Now, you don't want

to get left behind, Hal.

This is hot!

No.

It sure beats dirty magazines.

Yeah, thank you, Gordy.

Enjoy yourself.

Yeah, sure.

You're crazy!

Come on, let's do it!

- Let's do it for science, baby.

- I don't trust you.

I won't do it in here.

Anybody can come in.

Lillian won't be back tonight.

I promise. She won't be back.

- You promise?

- Come on, I promise.

Come on, babe.

All right.

Are these real?

I hope so.

This is it.

What do you call this?

We call it "the Hat."

What do you do with it?

Put it on your head.

Come on, Chris. Hands off.

What's it for?

With a thing like that, you could finish

the seventh grade in five minutes.

Okay. Start it up.

Not today.

What's that?

I don't know.

Scan synch's on.

You got that?

Interlock's open.

Okay.

It's hot off the mold.

Take a look.

Looks great.

Sit, please.

"Looks great. Sit, please."

Now just empty your head.

Empty my head?

Relax.

Empty my head and relax.

Just lean back and forget everything.

It'll be okay.

That's good.

It's hot off the mold. Take a look.

Relax.

You can take the house, the kid, the car,

the whole goddamn thing!

I don't want anything. I'll live in a hotel.

What about my work?

I can't live like this, Karen.

Go.

Why don't you just go?

Take the house, take the car!

I'll go to a hotel!

I can't live like this, Karen!

You're strangling me!

What are you talking about,

you can't live like this?

Are you talking about the house?

I never wanted it.

- It was you!

- No, no. It's you!

That's not me you're looking at. It's you!

Can you describe what you were feeling?

I don't know.

I got mad...

...at you.

What were you thinking?

You mean when you were recording

my thoughts?

Yeah.

I was thinking about my new design.

But he always ignores me and it just...

...made me furious.

Feelings.

It's hot off the mold. Take a look.

- You're so selfish! You're arrogant!

- You're strangling me!

I want to ride my bike. Big deal.

You take him. His pants are full.

You could put flowers all around it.

I don't know what you're so upset about.

Let's do the twist.

You are a genius.

I made that for you.

It's a gift.

What is it?

It's me.

You may kiss the bride.

That's where they flew.

But what made them come here?

It's the wind.

The wind?

It's constant here.

He took off from the bottom of that hill.

And the first flight was...

...less than the wingspan of a modern jet.

And I want to tell you something.

He was scared to death.

I'm crazy about you!

It's a secret.

That's the girl I'm gonna marry.

We blew it, didn't we?

We sure did.

- I didn't...

- I didn't understand.

Nothing's changed.

You feel so good.

So do you.

I never thought I could do this.

It always does that.

Try that.

They're beautiful.

Are you ready to take the plunge?

Sure.

Sing for me. Sing me that song.

"In this place

We're all together now

"Figuring out and figuring out

Who's crazy

"And afterwards, we go out

And have a nice coffee

"And we smoke a cigarette

And make a dream

"That everybody in the world

Will be good

"And then we'll be nervous no more

"And these are the hopes and the dreams

"Of beautiful people like me

"And the other people"

It's so quiet.

I was afraid you didn't like me anymore.

Marry me.

I will.

Mom?

- Hi, Dad.

- Good morning.

Hiya, sport.

I knew you couldn't live without us.

- You want breakfast?

- Sure.

- French toast.

- Orange juice.

- Juice.

- All right.

Bacon.

He's in the den.

- Are you okay?

- He's out of control.

But are you okay?

Karen, he's been down there all night.

I thought he was reading

until I woke up this morning...

...and I found him down there twitching.

Give it here.

Give it, Michael.

Please. Oh, God, please. Please!

Please!

We'll keep this between us, okay?

Barometric pressure equalized.

Dr. Brace, you may enter the chamber.

Damn it!

Hey, you wanna jog a few laps?

No, not today, Hal.

I don't know where I'm getting

all this energy.

Well, you look good.

I'll tell you, Mike, boy,

I'm gettin' a whole new outlook on life.

I'm packing my bags

and leaving this place.

Why is that?

Hell, the good folks at the lab

are paying me disability leave...

...of indeterminate duration.

Is that good?

Hell, it's the best piece of luck I've had.

What is it?

Something happened to me.

It was more than just a sexual fantasy.

It was a... it was a feeling I had.

I'm more than I was, Mike.

More.

Thanks, Hal.

Okay, make a dupe tape and a transcript

of that right away, if you would.

Ten degrees right.

Level.

Good.

Now watch this.

He can take a full 10-G rollout without

losing control, just by thinking about it.

Bombs away, Gordon.

Damn!

No!

Mike!

Lillian?

I'll miss her.

Talented lady.

Impossible at times, but talented.

The project's yours now, Mike.

It's up to you.

Not now, Alex.

This is it. I'm flyin' the coup.

I just wanted to say good-bye.

- Is that it?

- Yeah.

- You gonna play it?

- No.

She left it for you.

I'll help.

Dr. Marks, Dr. Brace and Hal Abramson

are in the lab.

Maybe it's not a good idea, huh?

I can rewire the output...

...right here.

Disconnect respiration, heart function...

...right here. Give me that case.

Frank, please, get me Bob Jenkins,

Alex Terson...

...Mr. Zimbach and Gordon Forbes,

immediately.

Yes. This is it.

What is it?

What is it?

What's he? Crazy?

We do have a unique opportunity here.

No. I can't authorize this.

This is not the research

we're interested in. This is sick.

I'll take full responsibility, Alex.

There might be something on it

we can use.

The tap will be undetectable,

and Gordon has the necessary experience.

It's on your back, Jim!

This is on your back!

Dr. Marks...

Dr. Brace said something

about rewiring this output.

Something about respiration and...

I know what I'm doing, son.

What's happening to him?

Shut it off, Landon.

Shut it off!

Goddamn it, shut it off!

Jesus Christ!

You can't do one more.

You can't do it. Not one more.

You can't do it.

- Have a Coke.

- You have a Coke.

No, no. Five minutes, please.

It's important, come on.

One cup of coffee. Come on.

Come on! No, no. Come on!

Happy birthday, Lillian.

I gave you two years. I've been fighting

Washington for the last year.

They said it's over. TRIAD is over,

don't you understand, Lillian?

If it were up to me, I would give it to you.

But it's not up to me, babe.

Now I have to go tell Michael.

I've always been with you.

I've always supported you.

I try to support you. What can I do?

You don't look so well.

Are things kind of tough for you?

- I'm just tired.

- Tired?

You know I work all the time.

That's the way it's always been.
