You're the winner. 76 00:05:55,919 --> 00:05:59,005 Oh, and the prize is apparently a parking space. 77 00:06:08,723 --> 00:06:11,393 There's still no answer at either one of your parent's cell numbers. 78 00:06:11,518 --> 00:06:13,728 Is there any other way we might be able to contact them? 79 00:06:13,853 --> 00:06:17,315 No, they're in a conference. 80 00:06:17,649 --> 00:06:19,567 They probably had to turn them off or something. 81 00:06:19,693 --> 00:06:21,903 What does it matter where they are? I mean, he's in pain. 82 00:06:22,028 --> 00:06:23,071 You gotta do something. 83 00:06:23,196 --> 00:06:24,322 We need them to sign this. 84 00:06:24,447 --> 00:06:26,533 Why can't he just sign the papers?

You like science? 101 00:07:37,937 --> 00:07:40,148 Looks like a diffusion pattern. 102 00:07:40,273 --> 00:07:42,817 That's because it's the venous side. Low pressure. 103 00:07:42,942 --> 00:07:44,944 So Graham's law applies. 104 00:07:45,904 --> 00:07:47,739 You've taken physics already? 105 00:07:47,864 --> 00:07:50,533 No, I just sort of read up on my own. 106 00:07:50,658 --> 00:07:54,204 I had to teach myself a lot of stuff, too.
