The room is more of a workroom than a study. It is in comfortably shabby disarray, with papers and books everywhere. There's a battered old desk and a day bed. One wall is solid bookshelves and on the other two are blackboards covered with a fantastic array of complex equations, graphs and diagrams. CLOSE SHOT - KLAATU His attention has been caught by one of the blackboards and he studies it with great interest and curiosity. MED. CLOSE SHOT - SECTION OF BLACKBOARD It is covered with a particularly complicated series of equations in a chalky scrawl, involving angles of vector, Keplerian ellipses, etc. The final equations are unsolved; they have no answers after the "equals" sign. Across are little printed signs tacked to the blackboard reading: "Don't erase!" and "Don't touch!" TWO SHOT - KLAATU AND BOBBY Bewildered, Bobby looks from the blackboard up at Klaatu. Still studying the blackboard, Klaatu is shaking his head and clucking his tonsure as one might at the attempts of a child to solve a problem in arithmetic. BOBBY (indicating the equations) What does that mean? KLAATU It's a problem in celestial mechanics. BOBBY Bet he's the only one in the world knows the answer. KLAATU (he shakes his head, smiling) He doesn't know the answer. And he'll never get it that way. {Celestial Mechanics is the science devoted to the study of the motion of the celestial bodies on the basis of the laws of gravitation.} (and he also smokes a pipe) but wait, there's more! -- The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and challenge the unchallengeable.
