I'm tired.

- Tom, we have something to discuss. - Not now, dear.

Yes, right now, Tom.

I know what it means to you that light.

I want the truth, do you have anything real or are too stubborn to give up?

- It is very real to me, Mary. - But you're right?

Is the rest of the world is wrong?

Is there any possibility that you get to discover?

Can we talk about it in the morning, Mary?

Okay, Tom.

In the morning.

Tom.

Well, I've fallen asleep.

Have I slept here all night?

Me has tapado?

I could not let you resfriaras, Tom.

- Now let's talk about it. - Why? I had a nice dream.

He was dreaming of winter.

It was so cold that the trees were not moving.

And the dawn quickly froze while trying dawn.

Yes, all the frozen universe.

He doubted between following warm in bed or out to see what was happening.

I get up. I saw that the earth was frozen and no longer spinning.

Everything was dark.

The sun was trapped between two walls of ice.

He struggled to free his own sweat froze both.

I started to walk the earth and see what could be done and found a bear.

I told him what had happened and began to jump

so hard it began to sweat hot oil over his head.

Then I grabbed the bear and placed on the axis of the earth.

And I left the hot oil to slide on the shaft.

Then I kicked the pinion of the land and got rid the sun.

The earth groaned and began to move and the sun began to shine.

I lit my pipe with fire, I split a piece for me.

And I went walking home with sunshine in my pocket.

Oh, Tom, that's nice.

Continue your work, go ahead with your light.

Do not listen to anyone who tries to stop you.

I do not even listen to me if I blame something.

Nothing will happen to us while you're able to dream like.

Well, Mary, perhaps he has not dreamed exactly.

Perhaps I remembered an old story my mother told me.

I prefer to be a dream. Let it remain so.

Okay, if you feel better as well.

Thank you.

I think I always carry two heads of advantage.

I said you need a harder spring, how much I have to repeat

so that you can understand me?

Any progress with the telegraph repeat?

Not yet, but we will.

Tom!

Hey, do not mess with that.

- Sorry, Tom. - Does not matter.

Since then he has assembled quite a stir.

I never heard a noise like that.

There seems a clang. It seems that comes from the disk.

Very strange.

Michael, I'll be in the office, I have to do some sketches.

Prepare this ASAP.

Really? Is it something to light?

No, I hope it's something the sheriff away.

Hello Hello hello.

Mary had a Little Lamb!

Their skin...

Hello Hello hello.

Mary had a Little Lamb!

Her skin was white as snow.

And where Mary went, the lamb was also going.

Hello Hello hello.

Mary had a Little Lamb!

Her skin was white as snow.

And where Mary went, the lamb was also going.

- It's fantastic. - It is a marvelous invention.

It is not an invention. It has always been there.

- You mean what is an accident? - No, no, nothing is accidental.

Invention of the speaking machine, read all about a talking machine!

- Read all of a respect! - What you should and you must.

This is again about earlier, this machine speaker is a gold mine.

Mira, Dash.

This is what I want to do. I want your voice to the highest pitch.

Here we go, before your mother comes, he's a good kid and crying really hard.

Not enough and screams?

Dash go there, crying. Look Dash, Dash, the bug.

Dash, Dash.

Look, look, Dash.

Dash, please cry. Dash, look.

Well, I must say ...

I wanted to cry a little, but just laughs.

It is not surprising, seeing you to kid you both.

- Some journalists want to see. - About what? I'm busy.

They want to know how far you've come with electricity.

I would like to know why. But, talk to them.

Tell them to grant an interview when you have something more concrete.

I understand. You are in darkness over the light.

You better hide.

- No, no, one at a time. - Tell us about the bulb.

We heard that he was working on the bulb.

Mr. Edison can not see anyone now.

- If there's anything I can do? - Who are you?

I was his partner and friend for many years.

Maybe you Edison invented, right?

That boy does not have grace.

We worked together as telegraph, I can say clear

that everything he knows about what I taught telegraphy.

I was always a good instructor.

I worked in the Western Telegraph Station, just

I had to catch a rattlesnake as a pet.

I called Pete.

During the long winter evenings I taught Pete Morse.

Then the snake escaped.

One day I was hunting alone.

I found a snake in the bush. I pointed my shotgun.

And when he went to shoot, can you believe it?

I hear the bells says "Stop, But, do not shoot, I'm Pete."

- Just a minute, Mr ... - Cabbott.

- James J. Cabbot, But known. - Charmed.

Mr. Cabbot, we did not come

to hear their stories of snakes but to interview Mr. Edison.

Mr. Edison is locked in his laboratory.

- On the verge of a discovery. - What is it about?

- Gentlemen, I can not speak. - Is it about the light bulb?

- That should ask him. - Why does not tell us?

First I think it does not have the bulb and will not think.

- Yea, no, huh? - No, I do not think so and more

I think of no value to confess. Castles behind him.

Listen to me, he's in there because it already has that light.

- You mean he has discovered? - Yes.

- Do you already have the light bulb? - Yes.

Why not advertised?

One thing at a time. Just finished with the talking machine.

It's not a matter of piling all these great inventions.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Stubborn.

I think I have dispatched to taste.

I think so.

Edison says the electric lamp is a success.

The genius of Menlo Park declares that being refined.

I'm usually a quiet guy.

But I got so mad ...

I did not know that light. I am far from having it.

- I did not imagine they would believe me. - Who reads the newspapers believe it.

Less scientists, who will skin me alive.

Well, I esfumar a season.

If I had money, he disappeared.

Can you lend me $ 20?

Here are the 10 that I owe you.

Like clear the accounts?

Well, take care.

Of course.

I'm sorry I screwed well. Tell them it's my fault.

No, do not worry, But.

I am glad that it is over.

Now I have to get to the bulb.

Gas shares have fallen another whole.

Knights please calm. There is no bulb.

- How do you know? - It is my duty to know.

No light bulb and will not. It is impossible as perpetual motion.

- Then you have to unmask. - I will not move a finger.

It is not necessary. It has put the noose.

He said something that is not true and never will be.

In the field of science that is equivalent to suicide.

It is true. It has sought their undoing.

The light bulb is a fake ad, it's fairy tale.

He knows or should know that it is impossible as perpetual motion.

All these claims on an electric light

They lack any scientific foundation, ladies and gentlemen.

Mr. Edison refuses to show his mysterious bulb.

We can assume for his refusal that there is this bulb.
