With me here to answer that
are two distinguished academics...
:32:06
...and several bright kids...
:32:09
...from the best schools around
the country. Welcome, everybody.
:32:13
Now, children, do you read books
or watch television like normal kids?
:32:19
I'm working on experiments involving
lasers, sulphuric acid and butterflies.
:32:25
I'm designing a summerhouse
for my parents.
:32:28
- I bring in the mail.
- You bring in the mail?
:32:31

:32:38
We go to museums, we go to the opera.

He writes letters to his Romanian pen pal.
:32:46
These books are fake.

...and what I guess one could call a...

to be when you grow up?
:33:04

- A fireman.
:33:06
That's a pretty normal profession
for such a... how shall I put it...
:33:11
...an unusual boy like yourself.
:33:14
When I was a boy, our mothers all
wanted us to grow up to be doctors.
:33:18
My mother's dead.
:33:21
I, uh... I'm very sorry to hear that.
:33:24
Well, enough small talk, Fred.
What shall we do for our audience?
:33:28
I thought maybe you could play the piano
for us and do a few quick calculations?
:33:33
- No.
- No?
:33:36
- Mr Buckner...
- I'd like to recite a poem.
:33:38
Ah, a poem by Fred Tate when
we come back, right after this.
:33:53
Hey!
:33:54
Hey, you guys!
