That's well
Hey ,what happened to her foot ?
When she was 17
Her brother drive a barbell on her foot
She didn't want her toes
broken so she go to the hospital
Doctor said to her that she has
to turn the X-rays machine on
Then he checked on
other patient on the hall
And he forgets all about Norma
Leaves that X-ray machine running
Oh Jesus ,that's ,that's not good
No
The tissue and the former toes's
completely destroyed by the radiation
They have amputate four of her toes?
Yup
It'll need to go and get a box of skin
from a inner thigh to
cover the former foot
But it's about 1958
So they didn't have a skin
(graph?) technique surgery now
She had to sit like this
The sitting position ,whole body (cast)
For a month ,waiting for the deal
Jesus ,I hope she sued this idiot
Oh yeah ,her family sued him and won
How's settlement ?

If the sucker works
she will still jog again
I hope so
That's a nice thing

Hi Mrs. Lewis
Hi Dana
Did Mr. Steward showed up ?
Yeah ,he's stopped by
So what does it do ?
What happen if you push the button ?
Nothing special
Did he give you the key to the dome
I bet it's something cool
You sure you asked a lot of questions
And now you're avoid them
Hey big mouth ,that's enough ,alright ?
In bed by 10 o'clock
Yes sir
Thanks Dana
Good night
That's yours
Bart
He was very charming
I always believe if he'd give(s)
that entire brief case for money
Forever and ever and ever
Well well
Let's get on with it
So what you can (think) ?
Alright
Look ,there's absolutely no
outside spreading this deal ,OK ?
So it's a (con)
The bill is (bait)
You don't just give someone 100
bill (for nothing) ,it's just crazy
Maybe he is crazy
I mean maybe he's ,mentally ills
And he's just using the (box to get)
some sort of excuse to murder someone
And he'll blame us for it
Should we call the
police ?what you think ?
If you tell anyone
The deal is off
No money
He said that ?
Yes ,we can't tell anyone
Let's go home
Alright ,I'll get our coats
Someone got a lot of time designing this
(rare lumber) aluminum ??? glass
This is expensive
Hello
What're you doing ?
I wanna take a look inside
They are silly
Very good
Nothing
No transmitter no radio
If we push the button right now
,there's no way he'll even know
OK ,just ,you know what
,put it back together
I don't want you break it
What you care ?
Because ,either way
He's gonna come back to retreat .He
says he takes the box , he re-program it
And he makes the offer to someone else
I don't know who's gonna
re-program it ,it's a piece of wood
People started pollution ,people can
So you gonna push it or not ?
it's not my decision to make
It's ours ,I will never
push it without your knowing
Don't forget to turn out the tree lights
No ,I like to let them on
It's a fire hazard
I like to keep some Christmas
spirit while we sleep
We could die
Everybody dies Norma
Fine
Leave them alone
It's strange ,you only make
house calls when you out of town
what're you thinking ?
I'm thinking
we're never gonna see that much money
Then why you say that ?
Be realistic ,Arthur
You work for the government
God knows we both spend too much money
Sure we'll make it easier
to live the loved one
Honey
Why do we need a million
dollars to be happy ?
We're atoned
But imagine what we could accomplish
We could provide security
for our entire family
You know I don't need
that work in NASA forever
I can get another job
Are we ever gonna leave Richmond ?
Can I have to postpone for surgery ?
Now we are not doing that
,you need that surgery
Yeah ,I know ,but
We can't afford it
Well then ,push the
button see what happens
I'm scared
Norma ,why are you scared ?
You didn't see his face
I'm calling the police
You can't
Right ,because then the deal is off
Norma ,how the hell he gonna
know we even call anyone ?
Does he has the house bugged ?
It's the gift to each
bridesmaids of the wedding
They will make a big joke of it tonight
Dr. Als gonna get up and he's gonna
ask who push the button and who didn't
And everyone have a laugh at
the con artist he has hired
Shocked our door step
It was something great before and the
she wondered (enter the next style )
Where is she ?
I run out to the first (?)
They put her in the back
of a (?) and drove off
OK
Look ,lock all the doors
She just finished for you
I'm on my way home
I ran a test on it work
This a hundred bill dollar is real
So this seems all real
We push the button
We get a million dollars
And we could be responsible for
the death of another human being
Is that something we can know it ?
Or someone's baby
What if it's a murder on death row ?
What if are our neighbor
across the street ?
Do you know them ?
Doug and Donna
What is do really know someone , Norma
Do you know me ?
Better than you know yourself
Do you know Walter ?

door with a briefcase

Sorry for myself never again

-But I just want
-Walter
Fine
Can you tell me what happened ?
I need a drink
Are we still gonna win ?
Yeah
There's only so much
information I can disclose
I understand
In the hours of following the
first Viking transmission from Mars
You colleague Arlington Steward
was struck by lightning
outstanding here at this platform
Yes ,and we haven't
heard from him since that
He's
Something else now
What you mean ?
Arlington Steward died
shortly after (being delivered)
to the burnt unit Riverside Hospital
Several hours ,after his
body was taken to the morgue
and locked in a freezer storage cabinet
A nurse heard a voice
coming behind the metal door
It was a man laughing
Mr. Steward become back from the
dead and was laughing hysterically
He was then transferred to a
high security military hospital
Soon after we realized he was
demonstrating some
extraordinary capability
What you mean by capability ?
His body healed rate 10
times faster than normal
Cell (?) degeneration essentially halted
Ladies and gentlemen
,Mrs. and Mr. Edward Powell
Hi
You can't drink with
somebody now ,alright ?
Come on
Sir
If you don't mind may I ask you ?
Why a box?
Your home is a box
You car is a box on wheels
You drive to work in it
You drive home in it
You're sitting your
home staring into a box
It erodes your soul while the box
that is your body
inevitably withers and dies
We are upon and just
placed in the ultimate box
to slowly decompose
It's quite depressing
Did you think of that way ?
Don't think it that way
Think of this is a temporary ???
What happens
Once you completed the test ?
I summit the data I
have ,to my employers
And then your fate rests in their hands
I can not say they are not
without a bizarre sense of humor
Look at me
I wouldn't know sir
,former is that you speak
Your
Employers remained mystery to us all
I like mystery
Don't you ?
How do we pass the test
Isn't the obvious ?
Simply don't press the button
If enough of you don't
,the test will conclude
But there will be more test to come
Walk on quickly in the light
Time to advance your 80 circles death
You walk in the light you gonna feel
your body submerged in the liquid
Try to hold your breath
If you drown in sensation
You will pass
Where're you sending them ?
To prepare the next
test in Massachusetts
You spoke earlier
About altruism coefficient
If human beings are unable or unwilling
to sacrifice individual desires
The greater good of your species
will have no chance for survival
And my employers will be compelled
to exponential your (existential)
Clear ?
Yes sir
?When Joanna Loved Me
I was gone ,Norma
I was gone ,familiar in hell
What did you see ?
What was there in the light ?
Words can't describe it
It's a place
Not here not there
It is somewhere in between
It's a warm embrace
A place where
the sidewalk ends
And the despair has no
more governor of human heart
Dad
What's going on ?
I maybe sick Walter
You can still save yourself
It's too late for me ,but
you can still save yourself
Jeffrey Carnes ?
Well ,I get lots of questions for you

Gateway transit analysis will
determine fate of test subjects
So did you push the button
or it was your wife ?
My wife
Yeah ,yeah ,mine too
And now she's dead
Did you killed her ?
I did it for my daughter

Between my wife ,and my daughter

into a interesting bearing account
Given to your son on his 18th birthday
Let me kill myself

No
The tissue and the former toes's
completely destroyed by the radiation

It'll need to go and get a box of skin
from a inner thigh to
cover the former foot

And now you're avoid them
Hey big mouth ,that's enough ,alright ?
In bed by 10 o'clock

Bart
He was very charming
I always believe if he'd give(s)
that entire brief case for money
Forever and ever and ever
Well well
Let's get on with it
So what you can (think) ?
Alright
Look ,there's absolutely no
outside spreading this deal ,OK ?
So it's a (con)
The bill is (bait)
You don't just give someone 100
bill (for nothing) ,it's just crazy
Maybe he is crazy
I mean maybe he's ,mentally ills
And he's just using the (box to get)
some sort of excuse to murder someone
And he'll blame us for it
Should we call the
police ?what you think ?
If you tell anyone
The deal is off
No money
He said that ?
Yes ,we can't tell anyone
Let's go home

He's gonna come back to retreat .He
says he takes the box , he re-program it
And he makes the offer to someone else

re-program it ,it's a piece of wood

push it without your knowing

I like to keep some Christmas
spirit while we sleep
We could die
Everybody dies Norma
Fine
Leave them alone
It's strange ,you only make
house calls when you out of town
what're you thinking ?
I'm thinking
we're never gonna see that much money
Then why you say that ?
Be realistic ,Arthur
You work for the government
God knows we both spend too much money
Sure we'll make it easier
to live the loved one
Honey
Why do we need a million
dollars to be happy ?
We're atoned
But imagine what we could accomplish
We could provide security
for our entire family
You know I don't need
that work in NASA forever
I can get another job
Are we ever gonna leave Richmond ?
Can I have to postpone for surgery ?
Now we are not doing that
,you need that surgery
Yeah ,I know ,but
We can't afford it
Well then ,push the
button see what happens
I'm scared
Norma ,why are you scared ?
You didn't see his face

We push the button
We get a million dollars

Arlington Steward died
shortly after (being delivered)
to the burnt unit Riverside Hospital
Several hours ,after his
body was taken to the morgue
and locked in a freezer storage cabinet
A nurse heard a voice
coming behind the metal door
It was a man laughing
Mr. Steward become back from the
dead and was laughing hysterically
He was then transferred to a
high security military hospital
Soon after we realized he was
demonstrating some
extraordinary capability
What you mean by capability ?

times faster than normal
Cell (?) degeneration essentially halted
Ladies and gentlemen
,Mrs. and Mr. Edward Powell
Hi
You can't drink with
somebody now ,alright ?
Come on
Sir
If you don't mind may I ask you ?
Why a box?
Your home is a box
You car is a box on wheels
You drive to work in it
You drive home in it
You're sitting your
home staring into a box
It erodes your soul while the box
that is your body
inevitably withers and dies
We are upon and just
placed in the ultimate box
to slowly decompose
It's quite depressing
Did you think of that way ?
Don't think it that way
Think of this is a temporary ???
What happens
Once you completed the test ?
I summit the data I
have ,to my employers
And then your fate rests in their hands
I can not say they are not
without a bizarre sense of humor
Look at me
I wouldn't know sir
,former is that you speak
Your
Employers remained mystery to us all
I like mystery
Don't you ?
How do we pass the test
Isn't the obvious ?
Simply don't press the button
If enough of you don't
,the test will conclude
But there will be more test to come
Walk on quickly in the light
Time to advance your 80 circles death
You walk in the light you gonna feel
your body submerged in the liquid
Try to hold your breath
If you drown in sensation
You will pass
Where're you sending them ?
To prepare the next
test in Massachusetts
You spoke earlier
About altruism coefficient
If human beings are unable or unwilling
to sacrifice individual desires
The greater good of your species
will have no chance for survival
And my employers will be compelled
to exponential your (existential)
Clear ?
Yes sir
?When Joanna Loved Me
I was gone ,Norma
I was gone ,familiar in hell
What did you see ?
What was there in the light ?
Words can't describe it
It's a place
Not here not there
It is somewhere in between
It's a warm embrace
A place where
the sidewalk ends
And the despair has no
more governor of human heart
Dad
