:02:01
Turn it off, please.
:02:03
I don't think I have explained
my proposal fully.
:02:05
No, I think you have.
:02:07
Same old Reed, always stretching,
reaching for the stars...
:02:10
with the weight of the world on his back.
:02:12
But dreams don't pay the bills, do they?
:02:16
You remember, when we were in school
we talked about working together.
:02:20
Well, that's what I was about to explain.
:02:24
The storm is deadly.
:02:25
But the shields on
your station's control room...
:02:27
are designed to protect
any occupants inside.
:02:33
So it's not just my money you want.
:02:36
It's my toys.
:02:38
Tell me, if NASA doesn't trust you,
then why should I?
:02:45
That's my job, to stay a step ahead.
:02:48
To know what other men don't.
:02:51
I can't take this.
:02:53
Ben, this is business, just work.
:02:55
He's right, Ben. It is just business.
:02:58
I think you both know my Director
of Genetic Research, Susan Storm.
:03:06
One more thing he's got.
:03:08
- Hey, Susie.
- Hey.
:03:10
It's so nice to see you. How's Debbie?
:03:13
- Great.
- Great.
:03:17
- How have you been?
- Never better.
:03:21
This isn't going to be a problem, is it?
:03:23
- No.
- Not at all.
:03:25
Good.
:03:26
Then you're just in time
to hear the great Reed Richards...
:03:30
ask me for help.
:03:33
You know, you made a lot of folks at MIT
feel like a junior high science fair.
:03:37
So you'll excuse me
if I savor the moment.
:03:41
You back this mission and I'll sign over
a fair percentage of any application...
:03:44
The number's 75%.
:03:46
And its applications and patents.
:03:48
- What about his first-born?
- Ben...
:03:51
Come on.
:03:52
25% of a billion is enough
to keep the lights on for a while, isn't it?
:03:56
Maybe even pay off your fourth mortgage
on the Baxter Building.
