...in order to strategically evaluate

"g" we will replace an "r"

with the appropriate distance and mass.

So the acceleration of gravity "g" is

determined, uh,

by "m" and "r"

at the earths surface.

Now we know that objects, uh,

vary from place to place so

in order to evaluate it

we will simply use "M-G".

Now if we want to, uh, evaluate an object

some distance from the earth...

Yes!

Katlin.

Perhaps you can answer the equation

if, for example,

G equals six point four times ten to

the sixth?

Um, V equals...

six point zero times ten

to the twenty-fourth power.

Pretty good, Katlin.

See you tonight.

- Bye, guys!

- See you later.

Bye, bye...

Ten bucks?

I mean, the way you screeched

I thought it was like a thousand.

Yeah, well, I cant help it,

I think of it in Euros.

Just think, this represents

a half a night

in a youth hostel full of Dutch guys.

So what do we have today?

Hey... wow!

We won it, we didnt take it.

Look! Look, look...

Wha s up with them?

Matt Birman just shot you

with his finger.

Hey, but...

Shhh... shut up, shut up...

So, brains. Heard you fleeced Maureen

at poker last night.

"Fleeced" actually means "cheated".

I just kicked her ass.

Maybe you want in on the football

pool then.

See, the tiny little boxes are the games,

and the itty bitty numbers...

Tim? If you figured it out,

Ill be fine.

Are these your odds or

the straight Vegas line?

A mix.

Is that okay with you?

Just fine. Give me Steelers

over Washington at six... what else?

And Denver over Cincinatti four and

a half. Ill take the dog.

Put me down for sixty.

Any more?

Got lots of action open.

Not today.

Thanks, Katlin.

Bye, Cheryl.

Ohmigod, that was a wesome.

Katlin, since when do you

know anything about football?

Are you kidding?

Osmosis. Between my Dad and

Terry, I could referee a Rose Bowl.

You are a total maniac.

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Run, you big doofus!

Run...

Ya! I told you the Steelers

were on fire!

Im going for a run.

- Hi, Mom.

- Football?

Over Fashion File?

Cheryl thinks the quarterback has

a nice ass.

I do not!

I dont.

Well, its hard not to notice

when theyre bending over

patting each other all the time.

Back in a bit.

- Go, go, go, go, go...

- Come on! Come on!

...did we just...?

We won. We won! Ohmigod.

Tha s the two games we picked.

Ohmigod.

How much money is that?

Sixty, eighty, one hundred...

- Keep it coming.

...one-twenty, one-thirty.

All the guys saw a girls name

on the chart

and everybody bet against you.

You are money.

My pleasure, Matt.

Lets see what you got today.

Maybe we should just quit

while were ahead.

Relax, I played it real safe.

Look, you want to take your half?

I wont be offended.

No. It just... You know, Katlin, it...

...it makes me more nervous than you.

If we had any guts at all

wed pool everything.

I mean everything, and start

our own pool.

Katlin!

Great.

Ohmigod.

Is that her brother driving?

So?

Hot!

You guys have met my brother Ron,

I remember you. Remember, the last time

I saw you you were around eleven, right?

Yeah. Playing kick the can with Janice.

So youre the card shark, right?

Well, hardly.

So, you wanna ride someplace?

Uh, Im with a friend.

Hi, friend.

You both can come, you know.

Its okay, were gonna walk.

Some other time then.

Sure. Maybe.

- Bye, Janice.

- No, no!

Oh! Sweeeeeet!
