:58:01
to a new project...
:58:02
one which they actually
seemed to hope...
:58:05
might somehow free them
once and for all...
:58:08
from any dependence
on physical instrumentalities.
:58:12
A civilization
without instrumentalities?
:58:14
Incredible.
:58:15
Dr. Morbius,
everything here is new.
:58:19
Not a sign of age or wear
on any of it.
:58:22
Young man, these devices,
self-serviced, self-maintained...
:58:26
have stood exactly as you see them
for 2,000 centuries.
:58:31
2,000 centuries?
:58:32
And during all this time,
what was their power source?
:58:35
That's a good question.
:58:37
May I draw your attention
to these gauges...
:58:41
all around here, gentlemen?
:58:44
Their calibrations
appear to indicate...
:58:46
that they are set
in decimal series...
:58:48
each division recording
exactly ten times as many amperes...
:58:51
as the one preceding it.
:58:53
Ten times ten
times ten times ten...
:58:55
times ten times ten,
on and on and on...
:58:57
row after row,
gauge after gauge.
:59:01
But there is no direct wiring
that I can discover.
:59:05
However, when I
activate this machine...
:59:08
it registers infinitesimally,
you see...
:59:10
down there in the lower
left-hand corner.
:59:12
And then...
:59:15
when I activate
the educator here...
:59:20
it registers a little more.
:59:23
But this much is negligible.
:59:26
The total potential here must be
nothing less than astronomical.
:59:30
Nothing less.
:59:31
The number ten
raised almost literally...
:59:34
to the power of infinity.
:59:38
Gentlemen, would you care to see
some more of the Krell wonders?
:59:42
- Indeed, yes.
- Yes.
:59:44
If you will,
step in this shuttle car.
