is made to undergo a test, assigned by authorities. The interviewer is
Bob.
----------------------------------
GEORGE
Shoot Bob!
BOB
Answer as quickly as you can.
How old is a person born in 1928?
GEORGE
Man or woman?
BOB
Why?
GEORGE
Specifics, Bob!
BOB
Ok. One more time. How old is a
man born in 1928?
GEORGE
Still alive?
BOB
If a man is born in 1928 and is still
alive, how old is he?
GEORGE
What month?
BOB
If a man was born October 3rd, 1928,
and is still alive,how old is he?
GEORGE
What time?
BOB
Ten o'clock, PM.
GEORGE
Where?
BOB
Anywhere!
GEORG
Well, let's get specific, Bob.
I mean if the guy's still alive, born
in California, October 3rd 1928, 10 PM
... he is 67 years, 9 months, 22 days,
14 hours
(looking at Bob's
watch)
and 12 minutes. If he's born in New
York, he's 3 hours older now isn't he?
---------------------------------------
Bob starts filling
in her notes ...
George is moving the pencil telekinetically
----------------------------------------
BOB
How do you do that? How do you make
that pencil move? Is that a trick pencil?
GEORGE
No, I ask it to move
I mean I could
say that i will it, but
it would
be more like a command. It's more
like collaboration or parntership.
BOB
(Thinking)
Partnership? With a pencil?
GEORGE
Oh why not, we're all made of the
same stuff aren't we?
BOB
(Thinking)
Wood?
GEORGE
Energy, Bob, you know, the little pieces?
I wanna go home now ...
