the night as far as Ohio,
697
00:37:12,796 --> 00:37:15,007
then disembarked
and caught the return flight
698
00:37:15,132 --> 00:37:18,051
arriving two hours prior to curtain.
699

The talented understudy
immediately replaced the original Woodrow.

J.J: I strongly question
whether your daughter's Silly Putty
701
00:37:27,311 --> 00:37:28,854
resembles anything from outer space.
702
00:37:28,979 --> 00:37:30,814
-It's not Silly Putty.
-I'm sorry, but I doubt it.
703
00:37:30,939 --> 00:37:32,190
It's called S'morestozium.
704
00:37:32,441 --> 00:37:33,775
-This is excellent.
-Thank you.
705
00:37:33,859 --> 00:37:35,068

I just maintain the workings.

710

-I beg your pardon?
-Not in my opinion.
712
00:37:45,245 --> 00:37:46,747
I liked the Silly Putty
or S'morestozium, in fact.
713

I'm just quoting what he said.

Your son's project might very well
have killed us all today, by the way.

716
00:37:52,753 --> 00:37:54,004
-the electromagnetic death ray.
-It's a weapon.
717
00:37:54,129 --> 00:37:56,089
-Of course it's lethal.
-So you admit it.

Not to mention Brainiac's flag.
719
00:37:58,133 --> 00:37:59,760
I mean, is he trying
to provoke World War III or something?
720
00:37:59,885 --> 00:38:01,470
The jet propulsion belt is eminently safe.
721
00:38:01,595 --> 00:38:03,180
I'd allow an eight-year-old boy
to operate it.
722
00:38:03,305 --> 00:38:05,140
In fact, I did... Ricky's cousin Chip,
723
00:38:05,265 --> 00:38:07,434

the solo flight altitude record.

729

says the name the first one said,
then adds another.

Then the third person
says both plus a new name.
