Flubber Page #2

- No, sir.

- Weebo?

- What?

- Get a broom.

- That`ll help.

Two years.

Wow.

Oh.

Oh, bless you. You have a cold.

You should.

It`s 77 degrees Kelvin.

That`s very cold.

Look. Come on.

All right, uh,

let`s try and describe you.

Uh, you`re an elastomer.

Yes, uh, um--

Ooh! You`re highly viscous.

But yet you can

phase-shift. Hoo!

Well, uh, let`s see.

You`re mouldable. Oh.

It`s a little ticklish.

Oh!

You`re foldable.

You`re gullible.

Oh. All right. Let`s see.

Oh, wait a minute. Okay. And--

Ooh. You`re ductile.

Oh! Oh. You`re elastic.

Let`s just see

how elastic you are. Okay.

I`m the hackeysack king.

Hoo!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey, hey!

Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Bravo! Encore!

- Oh, boy. Uh, Weebo?

- Yes, sir?

- Take a picture.

- Okay. Look this way. Smile!

Yeow!

Ow!

- Weebo! lt`s amazing!

- Professor? Excuse me.

- It`s miraculous! lt`s--

- Professor, it`s gone!

It is! Oh! Oh!

Professor, I think you gave it

a little too much free will.

Oh, no.

There`s not a darn thing

to be afraid of, pal.

How can anything

get in your window?

It`s closed, okay?

Whoa!

Hey! Huh?

Oh! Huh!

- Whoa-oh!

- Yeah!

Ha!

Mmm! Whoa, Weebo! I got it!

Great. Now what are you

gonna do with it?

Oh! It has incredible inertia.

Mm, maybe it`s

just glad to see you.

- Weebo?

- Yes?

- Do you know what this is?

- Flying rubber?

Yes. That`s what it is.

It`s flying rubber.

It`s flubber!

Ouch.

- Thank you for waiting so long.

- Yes, ma`am.

I`m sorry, Sara.

Are you going to tell me,

"l told you so"?

No, no.

- I`m going to give you a ride home.

- Thank you.

There you are.

Careful. Watch your gown.

I`ve got it. Thank you.

It`s perfectly safe, Weebo. It`s just

an ordinary radioactive isotope...

that Weber is now removing

from the lead containment unit.

Very good, Weber.

Then you place

the radioactive isotope...

carefully behind

the sliding shutter.

You see, the sliding shutter

works just like a camera.

It regulates the flow

of gamma radiation.

Instead of billions of random particles,

you have a precise stream of energy.

Now we carefully place

the sliding shutter mechanism...

underneath the flubber.

And l`m burning up in here!

Weebo!

Over here.

The gamma radiation triggers a

metastable decay in the flubber itself.

- Right.

- Which releases enormous

quantities of energy,

- and that`s what propels the flubber.

- Of course.

Now doing it this way,

I believe, is a lot more scientific...

than dropping it

or kicking it...

or bombarding it

with light bulb photon flashes.

- Absolutely.

- I believe...

by controlling

the gamma radiation flux,

we can control the movement

of the flubber itself.

- Cross your fingers, Weebo.

- Here`s hoping!

- Good luck.

Oh, yes!

It works!

Descent, gradually.

Back up again. Yeah!

My wedding. Oh!

- I`ve gotta go, Weebo.

- But you haven`t finished

the experiment yet.

You`re just getting started.

You can`t just stop in the middle.

The wedding. Oh, I can`t

miss this one, Weebo.

I`m aware of the time.

Thank you.

But your days are wrong.

I`m getting married Friday, 6:30 p.m.

- No. No, you`re not.

- Why not?

Because you`re not

getting married, Phillip.

- Yes, I am.

- You missed the wedding.

It`s 6:
30 in the morning.

No. No.

Yes. I`m sorry.

- It is?

- Yeah.

Sara.

Sara?

You have a lot of nerve

to show your face around here...

after what you did to me

last night.

Will you 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
