No. I don't see that happening here.
I don't see that at all.

1:13:07
Holy mackerel! What's happening?
1:13:09
It's just the northern lights.
Aurora borealis.

1:13:12
High energy protons
spilling into our atmosphere.

1:13:16
They get through the magnetic shield
at the poles.

1:13:20
It's still beautiful,
whatever you call it.

1:13:23
- How often does this happen?
- Oh, any old time.

1:13:26
It's best when the sun's active.
That gets the solar wind up.

1:13:33
You say the darnedest things, Marina.
1:13:39
I don't feel sick.
I just feel a wee bit dizzy.

1:13:42
I'll put a bit of colour
into your cheeks, darlin'!

1:13:48
What's happening up there?
1:13:50
That's the northern lights, Mac.
1:13:52
What the heck is that?
1:13:54
It's pretty technical.
Nice though, isn't it?

1:14:00
Hey, everybody! I need tens.
1:14:02
I got to have tens.
I have to...I need tens.

1:14:09
'Thank you
for calling Knox Oil and Gas.'

1:14:14
'Mr Macintyre in Scotland.
1:14:16
'Should I transfer him
to Mr Fountain?'

1:14:19
No. Let me have him.
1:14:20
Happer here, Macintyre.
1:14:22
I'm watching the sky, sir.
It's doing some amazing things.

1:14:26
It's got everything, reds,
greens and kind of shimmering.

1:14:31
'There's noise, too,
like a far-off thunder, only softer.'

1:14:35
I wish I could describe it
like I'm seeing it.

1:14:38
Be more specific. You're my eyes
and ears there. Give me details.

1:14:44
Sir, I'll give you the colours first.
1:14:47
It's white and green and red...
1:14:49
I'm sorry. That's the phone box.
1:14:52
Oh, it's blue!
It's like a shower of colour!

1:14:55
Tell him it's the aurora borealis.
1:14:58
It's the aurora borealis,
but it's beautiful!
