:53:04
This is just one
of their laboratories.
:53:07
You will notice that much
of the equipment is familiar...
:53:10
though designed
for nonhuman technicians.
:53:21
What's this?
:53:25
On this screen
may be projected...
:53:27
the total scientific knowledge
of the Krell...
:53:29
from its primitive beginning
to the day of its annihilation...
:53:33
a sheer bulk surpassing
many million earthly libraries.
:53:36
- You're able to read this?
- A little. It's my profession.
:53:41
Twenty years ago,
I began here with...
:53:43
this page
of geometrical theorems.
:53:45
Eventually I was able to deduce
most of their huge, logical alphabet.
:53:49
I began to learn.
:53:51
The first practical result
was my robot...
:53:54
which you gentlemen
appear to find so remarkable.
:53:57
Child's play.
:53:59
I've come here every day now
for two decades...
:54:01
painfully picking up a few of the least
difficult fragments of their knowledge.
:54:05
A thing like this,
it's too big to evaluate.
:54:09
Think what a discovery of this kind...
:54:11
what is this device over here?
:54:13
I call it
their "plastic educator."
:54:16
As far as I can make out, they used it
to condition and test their young...
:54:21
in much the same way
as we once employed finger-painting...
:54:24
among our kindergarten children.
:54:26
I often play with it myself
for relaxation...
:54:29
although working here,
I sometimes wish I'd been blessed...
:54:31
with multiple arms and legs.
:54:35
Now, you can see
that this headset...
:54:37
was designed for something
much bulkier than my human cranium.
:54:46
Now, over here you see...
:54:48
the electromagnetic waves
of my brain...
:54:51
sending that indicator up
about halfway.
:54:55
I gather that
one of their own young...
:54:58
comparable to
a seven-year-old child...
