SPHERE Painting

Dr. Harry Adams: We're all gonna die down here. Norman Goodman: What? Dr. Harry Adams: You see? It's curious. Ted did figure it out - time travel. And when we get back, we gonna tell everyone. How it's possible, how it's done, what the dangers are. But then why fifty years in the future when the spacecraft encounters a black hole does the computer call it an 'unknown entry event'? Why don't they know? If they don't know, that means we never told anyone. And if we never told anyone it means we never made it back. Hence we die down here. Just as a matter of deductive logic. [the group is breathing helium] Dr. Ted Fielding: [high pitched voice] Oxygen is a corrosive gas, in the same family as fluorine and chlorine - hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid. That's why we're breathing helium down here, because oxygen at any level higher than 2.3 becomes toxic. Norman Goodman: [high pitched voice] Can you run that by me again, Ted? I don't speak balloon. Harry: Follow the yellow brick road. [last lines] Norman Goodman: Why are you holding my hand? Harry: YOU'RE holding MY hand. Harry: [sympathetically] Are you afraid of dying, Norman? Norman Goodman: What the hell is it? Captain Harold C. Barnes: Whatever it is - it seems to be what this bird was designed to do. Go out in the space and gather things like this up and bring it back. Norman Goodman: Yeah, but back from where? Dr. Harry Adams: Don't get too excited, Ted - turn this thing over and it'll probably say 'Made in Korea’ Interviewer: I see you have a scar on your neck. Beth: Car accident. Interviewer: Were you drinking? Beth: Yeah - but I wasn't driving. Dr. Ted Fielding: Harry! Norman Goodman: Harry. Dr. Ted Fielding: 19! Wunderkind! Beth: I wanted to thank you for saving my life. Norman Goodman: ...An interesting life to save… Norman Goodman: What is it, Harry? Dr. Harry Adams: Take a look. It's chipped! Captain Harold C. Barnes: Alright, it's chipped - so what? Dr. Harry Adams: Well I thought you said this thing wouldn't damage when it crashed and that this titanium alloy was so superstrong there's no way you can hurt it. Captain Harold C. Barnes: I did. Dr. Harry Adams: So how come it chips when this scientist just bangs on it with a hammer? Norman Goodman: I would be happy if Jerry had no emotions whatsoever. Because the thing of it is once you go down that road... here's Jerry, an emotional being cooped up for 300 years with no one to talk to... none of the socialization, the emotional growth that comes from contact with other emotional beings... Harry: So...? Norman Goodman: What happens if Jerry gets mad? Harry: Are you a religious man, Norman? Norman Goodman: Atheist, but I'm flexible. Barnes: Oh, you are a hell of a woman. I wish I knew you in the old days. Norman told me you were... Beth: [defensive] Norman told you what? Barnes: Let's put it this way - that if Jerry could read your mind, he'd be bored with ours! from ‘Sphere’ (1998) Starring Dustin Hoffman (Hero), Sharon Stone (Total Recall), Peter Coyote (The Color of War), Liev Schreiber (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), and Samuel L.

Sphere is a 1987 novel by Michael Crichton, his sixth novel under his own name and his sixteenth overall. It was adapted into the film Sphere in 1998. The story follows Norman Johnson, a psychologist engaged by the United States Navy, who joins a team of scientists assembled to examine a spacecraft of unknown origin discovered on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The novel begins as a science fiction story but quickly transforms into a psychological thriller, developing into an exploration of the nature of the human imagination. John Michael Crichton (/ˈkraɪtən/; October 23, 1942 – November 4, 2008) was an American author and filmmaker. His books have sold over 200 million copies worldwide, and over a dozen have been adapted into films. His literary works are usually within the science fiction, techno-thriller, and medical fiction genres, and heavily feature technology. His novels often explore technology and failures of human interaction with it, especially resulting in catastrophes with biotechnology. Many of his novels have medical or scientific underpinnings, reflecting his medical training and scientific background. Crichton received an M.D. from Harvard Medical School in 1969 but did not practice medicine, choosing to focus on his writing instead. Initially writing under a pseudonym, he eventually wrote 26 novels, including The Andromeda Strain (1969), The Terminal Man (1972), The Great Train Robbery (1975), Congo (1980), Sphere (1987), Jurassic Park (1990), Rising Sun (1992), Disclosure(1994), The Lost World (1995), Airframe (1996), Timeline (1999), Prey (2002), State of Fear (2004), and Next (2006). Several novels, in various states of completion, were published after his death in 2008. Crichton was also involved in the film and television industry. In 1973, he wrote and directed Westworld, the first film to utilize 2D computer-generated imagery. He also directed Coma (1978), The First Great Train Robbery (1979), Looker (1981), and Runaway(1984). He was the creator of the television series ER (1994–2009) and several of his novels were adapted into films, most notably the Jurassic Park franchise. Source: Wikipedia
