Good afternoon,
eclipse chasers!

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:13.000
Official YIFY movies site:
YTS.BZ

4
00:00:10.051 --> 00:00:11.553
How's everyone doing out there?

5
00:00:11.594 --> 00:00:14.222
Yeah!

6
00:00:14.264 --> 00:00:16.725
We are
just 30 short minutes away

7
00:00:16.766 --> 00:00:18.143
from the big event,

8
00:00:18.184 --> 00:00:21.062
and we couldn't ask
for better conditions,

9
00:00:21.104 --> 00:00:22.981
so let's all get ready

10
00:00:23.022 --> 00:00:25.358
to have a fun, safe,

11
00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:27.861
and memorable
eclipse viewing!

12
00:00:29.988 --> 00:00:32.115
♪ Come on out, sing it loud ♪

13
00:00:32.157 --> 00:00:33.992
♪ Let the sun shine
on your face ♪

14
00:00:34.033 --> 00:00:37.245
Okay. Solar filter in place...

15
00:00:39.914 --> 00:00:42.375
and...

16
00:00:42.417 --> 00:00:44.419
we're good to go.

17
00:00:46.963 --> 00:00:48.465
Hear that, Morgan?
We're good to go.

18
00:00:48.506 --> 00:00:49.841
Yeah, yeah.
That's amazing, Malcolm.

19
00:00:49.883 --> 00:00:50.800
I can't wait.

20
00:00:51.801 --> 00:00:53.636
Isn't this amazing?

21
00:00:53.678 --> 00:00:56.848
The first solar eclipse
of the century,

22
00:00:56.890 --> 00:00:57.974
of our lifetimes,

23
00:00:58.016 --> 00:00:59.350
...in, I mean,
in the U.S., anyway,

24
00:00:59.392 --> 00:01:00.643
and here we are,

25
00:01:00.685 --> 00:01:03.730
smack dab in the middle
of the path of totality.

26
00:01:03.772 --> 00:01:05.148
Pretty cool, huh?

27
00:01:05.190 --> 00:01:06.357
Yup.

28
00:01:06.399 --> 00:01:08.151
And, lucky you,

29
00:01:08.193 --> 00:01:09.486
you get to experience it all

30
00:01:09.527 --> 00:01:11.821
with a PhD candidate
specializing in astronomy.

31
00:01:11.863 --> 00:01:13.615
Malcolm, I can barely
get a signal up here.

32
00:01:13.656 --> 00:01:14.949
I'm gonna go down the hill

33
00:01:14.991 --> 00:01:16.201
and see
if there's better reception.

34
00:01:16.242 --> 00:01:17.368
But...

35
00:01:17.410 --> 00:01:18.703
...the eclipse
will be starting soon.

36
00:01:18.745 --> 00:01:19.829
You're gonna miss it.

37
00:01:19.871 --> 00:01:22.707
Not for, like,
another half an hour.

38
00:01:22.749 --> 00:01:25.210
I'll be back in time, okay?
I'll bring you a rocket dog.

39
00:01:27.253 --> 00:01:30.840
No. No, I-I said, "Do
you
have the eclipse glasses?"

40
00:01:30.882 --> 00:01:32.425
It's about to start.

41
00:01:32.467 --> 00:01:34.177
Um, I'm trying my best, Kim.

42
00:01:34.219 --> 00:01:35.345
There's a ton of traffic.

43
00:01:35.386 --> 00:01:37.931
You know
how important this is to me.

44
00:01:37.972 --> 00:01:39.808
Blake, you promised
that you would be here on time.

45
00:01:39.849 --> 00:01:41.643
I know, and I'm trying.

46
00:01:41.684 --> 00:01:43.394
I'll be there as soon as I can.

47
00:01:43.436 --> 00:01:45.021
Okay.

48
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:55.073
This is something...

49
00:01:55.114 --> 00:01:56.991
Nice scope.

50
00:01:58.076 --> 00:01:59.536
Do you mind
if I take a closer look?

51
00:01:59.577 --> 00:02:00.745
No.

52
00:02:00.787 --> 00:02:01.830
I mean yes.

53
00:02:01.871 --> 00:02:02.831
I mean--

54
00:02:02.872 --> 00:02:05.542
Yes, uh, no, I don't mind,

55
00:02:05.583 --> 00:02:06.793
and yes, you can
take a closer look.

56
00:02:06.835 --> 00:02:07.961
Okay.

57
00:02:08.002 --> 00:02:09.254
Oh, that's...

58
00:02:09.295 --> 00:02:11.214
definitely not consumer-grade.

59
00:02:11.256 --> 00:02:12.632
No, and it's not mine, either.

60
00:02:12.674 --> 00:02:15.677
It's, um, I'm getting my PhD
in Applied Physics at SIU

61
00:02:15.718 --> 00:02:16.886
specializing in astronomy,

62
00:02:16.928 --> 00:02:18.805
and, uh, the department
let me borrow it.

63
00:02:18.847 --> 00:02:20.181
Wow.

64
00:02:20.223 --> 00:02:21.641
Well, it makes
the telescope I grew up with

65
00:02:21.683 --> 00:02:24.936
look like
an old-timey spyglass.

66
00:02:26.062 --> 00:02:28.147
Hey, what's
the focal length on this?

67
00:02:28.189 --> 00:02:29.649
900 millimeters.

68
00:02:29.691 --> 00:02:32.026
It-it's high magnification,
but limited field of view.

69
00:02:32.068 --> 00:02:33.444
Should be perfect for today.

70
00:02:33.486 --> 00:02:34.571
Wow.

71
00:02:34.612 --> 00:02:36.865
You grew up with a telescope?

72
00:02:36.906 --> 00:02:38.241
Is that surprising to you?

73
00:02:38.283 --> 00:02:39.367
Oh, you're just so--

74
00:02:39.409 --> 00:02:40.952
I mean--

75
00:02:42.579 --> 00:02:44.998
I mean, you just don't look
like the typical--

76
00:02:46.666 --> 00:02:48.376
sorry, that-that sounded...

77
00:02:48.418 --> 00:02:50.670
I mean, I-I wasn't trying to...

78
00:02:50.712 --> 00:02:51.713
I mean, I-I didn't mean...

79
00:02:53.590 --> 00:02:55.300
I-I-I am...
I have a girlfriend, so--

80
00:02:55.341 --> 00:02:56.885
Okay.

81
00:02:56.926 --> 00:02:59.971
...who's not interested
in this stuff, like, at all.

82
00:03:01.806 --> 00:03:04.434
Yeah, she's, uh...
down there somewhere.

83
00:03:04.475 --> 00:03:07.437
Well, at least yours showed up.

84
00:03:07.478 --> 00:03:11.441
My fiancé is late, as always,
and has our eclipse glasses.

85
00:03:11.482 --> 00:03:13.318
Waited my whole life
to see a total eclipse,

86
00:03:13.359 --> 00:03:16.613
but looks like
I'm maybe gonna miss it.

87
00:03:18.364 --> 00:03:19.908
Here.

88
00:03:19.949 --> 00:03:22.201
If Morgan doesn't come back,
you can use these.

89
00:03:23.369 --> 00:03:26.414
Aw, thank you.

90
00:03:27.415 --> 00:03:29.584
Are you ready...

91
00:03:29.626 --> 00:03:32.837
for the experience
of a lifetime?

92
00:03:34.839 --> 00:03:36.883
Because totality...

93
00:03:36.925 --> 00:03:39.677
is on its way!

94
00:03:40.803 --> 00:03:41.888
That's cool.

95
00:03:41.930 --> 00:03:43.139
But the, um,
the astronomy thing

96
00:03:43.181 --> 00:03:44.891
is really just
more of a hobby for me.

97
00:03:44.933 --> 00:03:46.267
How'd you get into it?

98
00:03:46.309 --> 00:03:48.061
Uh, my mom, actually.

99
00:03:48.102 --> 00:03:49.354
Although...

100
00:03:49.395 --> 00:03:52.273
she's more into astrology
than astronomy, so...

101
00:03:52.315 --> 00:03:53.483
I know, it's dumb.

102
00:03:53.524 --> 00:03:55.360
No, I don't think
astrology is dumb.

103
00:03:55.401 --> 00:03:56.694
Without it,

104
00:03:56.736 --> 00:03:58.196
astronomy probably
wouldn't even exist.

105
00:03:58.237 --> 00:03:59.322
What?

106
00:03:59.364 --> 00:04:00.657
Yeah, when
you get right down to it,

107
00:04:00.698 --> 00:04:03.576
astronomy is about
the study of celestial events,

108
00:04:03.618 --> 00:04:05.912
and astrology
is about their interpretation.

109
00:04:05.954 --> 00:04:08.081
I mean, the what and the why,
so to speak,

110
00:04:08.122 --> 00:04:10.333
and in ancient times,

111
00:04:10.375 --> 00:04:13.002
there really was
no distinction between the two.

112
00:04:13.044 --> 00:04:16.547
It wasn't really until the 1700s
that their paths split,

113
00:04:16.589 --> 00:04:18.591
and they sort of went
their separate ways.

114
00:04:18.633 --> 00:04:20.426
I mean, it's really--

115
00:04:21.928 --> 00:04:24.514
Sorry. I can
get carried away sometimes.

116
00:04:24.555 --> 00:04:27.058
What? No, no, no, no!
I-I love it.

117
00:04:27.100 --> 00:04:28.601
You're really good
at explaining things.

118
00:04:28.643 --> 00:04:30.103
You'd make a great teacher.

119
00:04:30.144 --> 00:04:31.437
Ah, I don't know.

120
00:04:31.479 --> 00:04:33.982
I feel like
I still have a lot to learn.

121
00:04:34.023 --> 00:04:36.359
Yeah, but-but isn't that what's
so amazing about the universe?

122
00:04:36.401 --> 00:04:39.112
There's just
so much we don't know,

123
00:04:39.153 --> 00:04:41.030
that we'll probably never know?

124
00:04:41.072 --> 00:04:44.075
I mean, like, how can you ever
possibly hope

125
00:04:44.117 --> 00:04:46.160
to wrap your brain
fully around

126
00:04:46.202 --> 00:04:47.412
something so vast

127
00:04:47.453 --> 00:04:51.082
and so, just...
random and chaotic?

128
00:04:51.124 --> 00:04:54.502
Yeah, it's not all
random and chaotic, though.

129
00:04:54.544 --> 00:04:57.714
There's so many things
about the universe that feel...

130
00:04:57.755 --> 00:04:59.549
intentional,

131
00:04:59.590 --> 00:05:02.093
like it's perfectly designed.

132
00:05:03.302 --> 00:05:05.513
Perfectly designed?

133
00:05:05.555 --> 00:05:06.556
Yeah.

134
00:05:06.597 --> 00:05:08.725
Okay, like-like what,
for example?

135
00:05:08.766 --> 00:05:10.977
Well... take the eclipse.

136
00:05:11.019 --> 00:05:12.603
Did you know

137
00:05:12.645 --> 00:05:15.732
the sun is 400 times
larger than the moon,

138
00:05:15.773 --> 00:05:18.651
but the moon is 400 times
closer to the Earth?

139
00:05:18.693 --> 00:05:20.445
That's why
they fit together so perfectly

140
00:05:20.486 --> 00:05:21.654
on days like today.

141
00:05:21.696 --> 00:05:23.197
Doesn't that feel

142
00:05:23.239 --> 00:05:25.867
too coincidental
to be coincidence?

143
00:05:25.908 --> 00:05:28.369
It's also kind of romantic...

144
00:05:28.411 --> 00:05:30.872
and a little tragic.

145
00:05:30.913 --> 00:05:36.294
You know, like the sun and moon
fit together so perfectly,

146
00:05:36.336 --> 00:05:39.589
but so rarely,
and just for a moment,

147
00:05:39.630 --> 00:05:42.967
and then,
once that moment is gone...

148
00:05:43.009 --> 00:05:45.803
it's a long time
before it can be recaptured.

149
00:05:47.764 --> 00:05:48.931
This is it, everyone!

150
00:05:48.973 --> 00:05:51.976
The eclipse in one minute!

151
00:05:52.018 --> 00:05:54.145
One minute? Wh--

152
00:05:54.187 --> 00:05:56.564
I've totally lost track of time!
-Me too.

153
00:05:56.606 --> 00:05:58.358
Yeah.
-Do you want to--? Should we--?

154
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.568
- Yeah, we should.
- Okay. Okay.

155
00:06:02.737 --> 00:06:04.197
-Okay. Okay!
-You ready?

156
00:06:04.238 --> 00:06:05.281
-I think, yeah.
-Okay.

157
00:06:05.323 --> 00:06:07.325
Just about there.

158
00:06:10.078 --> 00:06:11.120
Blake, finally.

159
00:06:11.162 --> 00:06:12.830
I'm here. Where are you?

160
00:06:12.872 --> 00:06:14.248
I'll be right there.

161
00:06:14.290 --> 00:06:16.876
I've got the glasses.
I'll meet you at the main stage.

162
00:06:16.918 --> 00:06:18.086
You're the best.

163
00:06:18.127 --> 00:06:20.129
Um...

164
00:06:20.171 --> 00:06:21.589
my fiancé made it.

165
00:06:21.631 --> 00:06:24.258
Oh, that's great.

166
00:06:24.300 --> 00:06:27.678
I, um, I guess I won't be
needing these anymore.

167
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:28.638
Thank you.

168
00:06:31.057 --> 00:06:34.352
It was really nice meeting you.

169
00:06:34.394 --> 00:06:36.062
You too.

170
00:07:03.131 --> 00:07:04.423
All right,

171
00:07:04.465 --> 00:07:05.800
and here's a view
of the last solar eclipse

172
00:07:05.842 --> 00:07:07.176
that was over North America.

173
00:07:07.218 --> 00:07:08.845
It's hard to believe
that it's been seven years

174
00:07:08.886 --> 00:07:10.763
and already another one
is upon us,

175
00:07:10.805 --> 00:07:12.098
and once again,

176
00:07:12.140 --> 00:07:14.725
Carbondale will be
in the path of totality.

177
00:07:14.767 --> 00:07:16.894
And just a reminder
to all you amateur astronomers,

178
00:07:16.936 --> 00:07:18.229
there are many ways

179
00:07:18.271 --> 00:07:20.523
to have a safe
eclipse-viewing experience.

180
00:07:20.565 --> 00:07:22.608
Just don't try
to watch it through a colander.

181
00:07:22.650 --> 00:07:24.026
You'll only end up
straining your eyes.

182
00:07:25.278 --> 00:07:26.404
Oh... boy.

183
00:07:26.446 --> 00:07:27.530
Yikes!

184
00:07:27.572 --> 00:07:30.158
Sorry, folks. Dad joke.

185
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.244
Well, that's it for all of us
here at WGZA News.

186
00:07:33.286 --> 00:07:34.912
Good night, Chicago.

187
00:07:34.954 --> 00:07:36.622
And we are clear.

188
00:07:38.166 --> 00:07:39.459
It was funny!

189
00:07:39.500 --> 00:07:41.127
-Yeah.
-It was!

190
00:07:41.169 --> 00:07:42.712
Great job, Keith.

191
00:07:42.753 --> 00:07:43.838
It was great.
It was awesome.

192
00:07:43.880 --> 00:07:46.674
So good.

193
00:07:46.716 --> 00:07:48.468
Guy can't tell a joke.

194
00:07:48.509 --> 00:07:51.137
He's a news anchor,
and you're a news
writer.

195
00:07:51.179 --> 00:07:52.972
You're not comedians,

196
00:07:53.014 --> 00:07:55.183
which is now
completely obvious

197
00:07:55.224 --> 00:07:57.310
to the entire
greater Chicago area.

198
00:07:57.351 --> 00:08:00.813
I am a part-time news writer,
thank you very much.

199
00:08:00.855 --> 00:08:02.565
I'm just trying
to stand out around here.

200
00:08:02.607 --> 00:08:03.733
You stand out!

201
00:08:03.774 --> 00:08:06.777
Everyone loves
your segment titles.

202
00:08:06.819 --> 00:08:08.154
"Pocketbook Peril"?

203
00:08:08.196 --> 00:08:09.530
"Diets for Dogs"?

204
00:08:09.572 --> 00:08:10.656
Oh, my personal favorite--

205
00:08:10.698 --> 00:08:12.325
"Cat Café Catastrophe"?

206
00:08:12.366 --> 00:08:16.078
Nobody cares
who writes the segment titles.

207
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:19.665
I just want to make my mark.

208
00:08:19.707 --> 00:08:21.292
I know I've only
been back for four months,

209
00:08:21.334 --> 00:08:23.127
but I was gone for five years.

210
00:08:23.169 --> 00:08:24.837
You know I was supposed
to come back

211
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:26.172
after maternity leave,

212
00:08:26.214 --> 00:08:28.925
but I just got so attached,
I couldn't leave Anna.

213
00:08:28.966 --> 00:08:32.428
If I'd stuck to the plan,
I'd be a reporter by now.

214
00:08:33.638 --> 00:08:35.723
Stop second-guessing
your choices.

215
00:08:35.765 --> 00:08:38.684
Plans are made to change,
and you love being a mom.

216
00:08:38.726 --> 00:08:39.810
I know.

217
00:08:39.852 --> 00:08:41.979
When it comes
to becoming a reporter,

218
00:08:42.021 --> 00:08:44.065
you'll get there.

219
00:08:44.106 --> 00:08:46.192
You got to sub in for Carlos
a few weeks ago, right?

220
00:08:46.234 --> 00:08:48.361
Yeah, that went...
that went super great.

221
00:08:48.402 --> 00:08:49.237
That was awesome.

222
00:08:49.278 --> 00:08:50.655
Oh, please.

223
00:08:50.696 --> 00:08:52.490
You're not talking about
the dreaded nickname, right?

224
00:08:52.532 --> 00:08:53.699
It's not bad.

225
00:08:53.741 --> 00:08:54.992
Just don't even say it.

226
00:08:55.034 --> 00:08:56.911
And you know, for the record,
I did not freeze.

227
00:08:56.953 --> 00:08:58.996
My earpiece malfunctioned.

228
00:09:00.623 --> 00:09:01.958
You know, never mind.
Forget it.

229
00:09:01.999 --> 00:09:04.126
I just can't catch a break.

230
00:09:04.168 --> 00:09:06.003
Hey... don't give up.

231
00:09:06.045 --> 00:09:07.630
I'm sure there'll be
a great opportunity

232
00:09:07.672 --> 00:09:09.006
right around the corner.

233
00:09:09.048 --> 00:09:10.967
I'm sorry, Mr. Whitaker.

234
00:09:11.008 --> 00:09:12.927
I have to leave.
My son has pink eye.

235
00:09:12.969 --> 00:09:14.136
Can't you get a babysitter?

236
00:09:14.178 --> 00:09:16.430
No! Pink eye
is extremely contagious.

237
00:09:16.472 --> 00:09:18.307
I could have it too,
for all I know.

238
00:09:18.349 --> 00:09:19.600
You can't do this to me, Julia.

239
00:09:19.642 --> 00:09:21.769
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I have to go.

240
00:09:21.811 --> 00:09:23.771
Well, what about the eclipse?

241
00:09:23.813 --> 00:09:26.566
Who am I gonna send
to Carbondale?

242
00:09:26.607 --> 00:09:28.234
Did you say Carbondale?

243
00:09:29.277 --> 00:09:30.778
Not now, Kim.

244
00:09:30.820 --> 00:09:33.781
Well, no, I mean, you know,
I was actually in Carbondale

245
00:09:33.823 --> 00:09:35.950
for the last eclipse
seven years ago.

246
00:09:35.992 --> 00:09:38.452
I, um, I know my way
around the place.

247
00:09:38.494 --> 00:09:39.912
I was even at the festival.

248
00:09:39.954 --> 00:09:43.040
I'm sort of an astronomy nerd
a little bit,

249
00:09:43.082 --> 00:09:45.251
um, well, I-I used to be,
so anyway, if you're--

250
00:09:45.293 --> 00:09:47.128
if you're looking for someone
to fill Julia's place,

251
00:09:47.169 --> 00:09:49.046
maybe someone, um, who has

252
00:09:49.088 --> 00:09:51.424
a little bit of
on-camera experience...

253
00:09:51.465 --> 00:09:53.384
On-camera experience?

254
00:09:53.426 --> 00:09:56.929
I hope you're not referring
to the Freezer Burn incident.

255
00:09:56.971 --> 00:09:58.681
That was not my fault.

256
00:09:58.723 --> 00:10:00.433
As I have told you repeatedly,

257
00:10:00.474 --> 00:10:01.600
that was
an equipment malfunction.

258
00:10:01.642 --> 00:10:03.019
Never mind, never mind.

259
00:10:03.060 --> 00:10:05.021
You want the assignment?
It's yours.

260
00:10:05.980 --> 00:10:07.273
Really?

261
00:10:07.315 --> 00:10:09.358
Sure. What do I care?

262
00:10:09.400 --> 00:10:11.319
End of the day, it's just,
uh, you know,

263
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.279
another puff piece, right?

264
00:10:13.321 --> 00:10:15.197
It's not like
I have any other options.

265
00:10:15.239 --> 00:10:16.574
Mr. Whitaker, I can do this.

266
00:10:18.117 --> 00:10:20.995
Look, we're budgeted
for a three-person team, and--

267
00:10:21.037 --> 00:10:22.204
Oh, sorry.

268
00:10:22.246 --> 00:10:24.749
...you can choose
your own camera person.

269
00:10:24.790 --> 00:10:25.916
Claire Reynolds!

270
00:10:25.958 --> 00:10:28.794
Uh, if, you know,
if she's available.

271
00:10:28.836 --> 00:10:31.547
Fine, but I want to keep
my nephew on as field producer.

272
00:10:31.589 --> 00:10:32.757
Have you met Reed?

273
00:10:32.798 --> 00:10:34.383
Uh, Reed?
No, uh, no, I don't think so.

274
00:10:34.425 --> 00:10:37.470
He's untested,
so you'll have that in common.

275
00:10:39.096 --> 00:10:41.557
Promised my sister
I'd give him a chance.

276
00:10:41.599 --> 00:10:43.809
Hopefully
this gets her off my back.

277
00:10:43.851 --> 00:10:45.269
Mr. Whitaker,

278
00:10:45.311 --> 00:10:47.063
thank you so much
for this opportunity.

279
00:10:47.104 --> 00:10:48.064
I will not let you down.

280
00:10:48.105 --> 00:10:49.148
Kim?

281
00:10:49.190 --> 00:10:50.441
I like you...

282
00:10:50.483 --> 00:10:52.860
and I was more than happy
to bring you back

283
00:10:52.902 --> 00:10:54.612
after your leave of absence,

284
00:10:54.653 --> 00:10:56.906
but if this doesn't work out,

285
00:10:56.947 --> 00:10:59.075
I don't want to hear
any more

286
00:10:59.116 --> 00:11:00.951
about you being
in front of the camera.

287
00:11:00.993 --> 00:11:02.995
It's your last shot. Understood?

288
00:11:03.037 --> 00:11:04.455
Yes, sir.

289
00:11:04.497 --> 00:11:06.040
Challenge accepted!

290
00:11:07.249 --> 00:11:08.834
All right, go get 'em!

291
00:11:08.876 --> 00:11:09.710
Oh, yes. Yeah! I'm sorry.

292
00:11:09.752 --> 00:11:10.961
-Yeah.
-Okay, thank you.

293
00:11:12.713 --> 00:11:14.965
So the sky
is gonna get dark,

294
00:11:15.007 --> 00:11:16.717
so all the plants
and the animals

295
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:17.885
are gonna think
it's nighttime,

296
00:11:17.927 --> 00:11:21.097
so the petals on the flowers
are gonna close,

297
00:11:21.138 --> 00:11:23.933
and the birds
are gonna stop singing,

298
00:11:23.974 --> 00:11:27.895
and the bees
are gonna stop buzzing.

299
00:11:27.937 --> 00:11:29.397
You might even hear an owl!

300
00:11:29.438 --> 00:11:30.648
What do you think
the owl will say?

301
00:11:30.690 --> 00:11:31.941
Hoo-hoo!

302
00:11:31.982 --> 00:11:34.819
You-you, Anna Banana!

303
00:11:34.860 --> 00:11:35.861
You-you!

304
00:11:37.238 --> 00:11:38.781
I'll miss you!

305
00:11:38.823 --> 00:11:42.284
I know, honey,
I'm gonna miss you too.

306
00:11:42.326 --> 00:11:43.953
But it's only for one night,

307
00:11:43.994 --> 00:11:45.996
and I want you
to listen to Grandma

308
00:11:46.038 --> 00:11:47.164
when I'm gone, okay?

309
00:11:47.206 --> 00:11:48.999
Can you do that?

310
00:11:49.041 --> 00:11:52.336
You know, she's so excited
to watch the eclipse with you.

311
00:11:52.378 --> 00:11:55.172
I can't wait to see you on TV.

312
00:11:55.214 --> 00:11:57.883
Well, let's hope
it's not for the last time.

313
00:11:58.968 --> 00:12:00.052
Will you wish me luck?

314
00:12:00.094 --> 00:12:01.345
Good luck, Mommy.

315
00:12:01.387 --> 00:12:02.430
I love you.

316
00:12:02.471 --> 00:12:04.932
Oh, come here.
I love you too, baby.

317
00:12:06.142 --> 00:12:08.185
Ah...

318
00:12:09.478 --> 00:12:11.564
I am so proud of you.

319
00:12:11.605 --> 00:12:13.482
Thanks, Mom.

320
00:12:13.524 --> 00:12:14.692
Oh, I feel like my life

321
00:12:14.734 --> 00:12:16.986
is finally
getting back on track.

322
00:12:17.027 --> 00:12:18.446
You know,
and if this goes well,

323
00:12:18.487 --> 00:12:21.365
maybe Anna and I
can even get our own place,

324
00:12:21.407 --> 00:12:22.908
get out of your hair.

325
00:12:22.950 --> 00:12:25.536
You know, I love having
you and Anna here with me.

326
00:12:25.578 --> 00:12:26.954
I know, but it just, you know,

327
00:12:26.996 --> 00:12:29.290
it doesn't feel great to be

328
00:12:29.331 --> 00:12:32.585
a 30-something single parent
living at home with her mom

329
00:12:32.626 --> 00:12:34.420
'cause she can't afford
to pay her own rent.

330
00:12:34.462 --> 00:12:35.629
Cut yourself some slack.

331
00:12:35.671 --> 00:12:37.256
You've been divorced
for, what, a year now?

332
00:12:37.298 --> 00:12:39.216
One year, one month,
two weeks and five days,

333
00:12:39.258 --> 00:12:40.634
but who's counting?

334
00:12:40.676 --> 00:12:43.262
Next year,
it's gonna be your year.

335
00:12:43.304 --> 00:12:45.806
Back in January,

336
00:12:45.848 --> 00:12:48.851
when I did
your astrology chart,

337
00:12:48.893 --> 00:12:50.394
it said great things
are in store for you

338
00:12:50.436 --> 00:12:52.855
in both your career
and romance.

339
00:12:52.897 --> 00:12:54.064
Okay, enough with the charts.

340
00:12:54.106 --> 00:12:55.441
Do you--
do you remember the chart

341
00:12:55.483 --> 00:12:57.610
that you did for me
when Blake and I got engaged?

342
00:12:59.361 --> 00:13:01.447
I admit,

343
00:13:01.489 --> 00:13:02.865
the stars may have been

344
00:13:02.907 --> 00:13:04.658
a teensy bit mistaken
about Blake,

345
00:13:04.700 --> 00:13:08.245
but, Kimberly,
this is different.

346
00:13:08.287 --> 00:13:12.041
Eclipses are
powerful astrological events.

347
00:13:12.082 --> 00:13:15.044
They signify new beginnings
and transformations,

348
00:13:15.085 --> 00:13:17.546
and that's exactly
what you need, isn't it?

349
00:13:17.588 --> 00:13:19.590
It's like...

350
00:13:19.632 --> 00:13:24.929
the stars and the planets
are aligning just for you.

351
00:13:24.970 --> 00:13:27.932
I mean, it is
kind of crazy that...

352
00:13:27.973 --> 00:13:30.893
I'm heading back to Carbondale
for another eclipse.

353
00:13:32.311 --> 00:13:34.688
You know I almost missed
the last one 'cause of Blake?

354
00:13:34.730 --> 00:13:36.273
He was running late--

355
00:13:36.315 --> 00:13:37.399
Mm.

356
00:13:37.441 --> 00:13:38.692
...and I-I wound up talking

357
00:13:38.734 --> 00:13:42.738
to this-this really nice
grad student.

358
00:13:42.780 --> 00:13:49.161
He knew everything
about astronomy and eclipses,

359
00:13:49.203 --> 00:13:51.956
and I...

360
00:13:51.997 --> 00:13:53.624
kind of wonder
what happened to him.

361
00:13:53.666 --> 00:13:55.167
We really connected.

362
00:13:55.209 --> 00:13:58.504
Well, the sun and the moon
are about to cross paths again.

363
00:13:58.546 --> 00:14:00.673
Maybe you and your mystery man
will too.

364
00:14:00.714 --> 00:14:04.009
What--
what are the odds of that?

365
00:14:13.727 --> 00:14:15.396
I can't do it.

366
00:14:16.564 --> 00:14:17.565
Can't do what?

367
00:14:17.606 --> 00:14:19.149
Ask Dr. Longford
to read my book.

368
00:14:19.191 --> 00:14:20.442
What if he says no?

369
00:14:20.484 --> 00:14:22.820
Or worse, what if he reads it
and hates it?

370
00:14:22.861 --> 00:14:24.238
Then I'll never
get it published.

371
00:14:24.280 --> 00:14:26.615
He's not gonna hate it,
and if he does, he's a fool.

372
00:14:26.657 --> 00:14:29.660
Dr. Longford?
Dr. Stanley Longford,

373
00:14:29.702 --> 00:14:31.620
who had one of
the most-viewed TED Talks

374
00:14:31.662 --> 00:14:33.205
of all time--
you're saying he's a fool?

375
00:14:33.247 --> 00:14:35.040
If he doesn't recognize
your genius, then yeah.

376
00:14:37.543 --> 00:14:39.837
I'm probably crazy to think
he'd remember me, anyway.

377
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:42.923
I mean, yes, he was
my favorite professor

378
00:14:42.965 --> 00:14:44.508
when I was getting my PhD,

379
00:14:44.550 --> 00:14:45.884
but that was ages ago,
he probably--

380
00:14:45.926 --> 00:14:47.386
Would you relax?

381
00:14:47.428 --> 00:14:50.973
Listen, I don't know
anything about astronomy,

382
00:14:51.015 --> 00:14:52.474
but I know
you're a great teacher,

383
00:14:52.516 --> 00:14:55.853
and your book--
what's it called again?

384
00:14:55.894 --> 00:14:56.895
The working title is

385
00:14:56.937 --> 00:14:57.980
"Cosmic Phenomena

386
00:14:58.022 --> 00:14:59.815
and Their Effects
on Early Cultures:

387
00:14:59.857 --> 00:15:02.610
A Study in Three Parts,
Volume I."

388
00:15:04.778 --> 00:15:06.071
Look.

389
00:15:06.113 --> 00:15:08.073
I know you'll get your book
to this Longfellow guy--

390
00:15:08.115 --> 00:15:09.366
Longford.

391
00:15:09.408 --> 00:15:11.785
...him too, because
you can be very convincing

392
00:15:11.827 --> 00:15:12.828
when you want to be.

393
00:15:13.954 --> 00:15:14.872
You're right.

394
00:15:14.913 --> 00:15:16.332
You're right! Positive attitude.

395
00:15:16.373 --> 00:15:18.083
I'm gonna connect
with Dr. Longford,

396
00:15:18.125 --> 00:15:19.126
and I'm gonna convince him

397
00:15:19.168 --> 00:15:20.878
to help me
get my book published.

398
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:23.172
Attaboy! Manifest it!

399
00:15:23.213 --> 00:15:25.049
Thanks for coming with me,
by the way.

400
00:15:25.090 --> 00:15:27.009
Can't believe my T.A. bailed
at the last minute.

401
00:15:27.051 --> 00:15:28.761
Honestly, I'm glad
for the change of scenery,

402
00:15:28.802 --> 00:15:30.596
and to forget about my breakup.

403
00:15:30.638 --> 00:15:32.723
Yeah, yeah.

404
00:15:32.765 --> 00:15:35.267
Last time, though, the eclipse
was something to behold.

405
00:15:35.309 --> 00:15:36.685
What last time?

406
00:15:36.727 --> 00:15:38.812
Seven years ago.
It ran through Carbondale too.

407
00:15:40.064 --> 00:15:42.441
That's weird. I mean, right?

408
00:15:43.442 --> 00:15:44.943
Cosmically speaking?

409
00:15:44.985 --> 00:15:46.612
Well, I mean,
their paths of totality

410
00:15:46.654 --> 00:15:47.905
are completely different.

411
00:15:47.947 --> 00:15:49.490
Last time, it was
northwest to southeast,

412
00:15:49.531 --> 00:15:51.116
this time
it's southwest to northeast,

413
00:15:51.158 --> 00:15:54.244
but... for some reason,

414
00:15:54.286 --> 00:15:56.914
they both run right through
Carbondale, Illinois.

415
00:15:58.916 --> 00:16:00.125
Huh!

416
00:16:00.167 --> 00:16:02.711
Who would've thought
a little college town

417
00:16:02.753 --> 00:16:04.213
in the heartland of America

418
00:16:04.254 --> 00:16:06.340
would turn out to be
the center of the universe?

419
00:16:07.675 --> 00:16:09.093
Well...

420
00:16:11.095 --> 00:16:12.596
...I think we're done here.

421
00:16:12.638 --> 00:16:14.139
I'm starting to think

422
00:16:14.181 --> 00:16:16.975
Whitaker doesn't consider
this assignment a priority.

423
00:16:17.017 --> 00:16:19.603
This clunker is supposed
to get us to Carbondale?

424
00:16:19.645 --> 00:16:22.439
Well, it's 300 miles away.

425
00:16:22.481 --> 00:16:24.900
Just has to hold together
for... five hours.

426
00:16:26.985 --> 00:16:28.070
Whoa.

427
00:16:28.112 --> 00:16:29.029
Four and a half,
the way I drive.

428
00:16:29.071 --> 00:16:30.698
Hi! Reed Harris, your producer.

429
00:16:30.739 --> 00:16:32.449
I'm gonna be handling
everything, top to bottom,

430
00:16:32.491 --> 00:16:33.575
soup to nuts.

431
00:16:33.617 --> 00:16:35.828
That's a saying, right?
Soup to nuts?

432
00:16:35.869 --> 00:16:37.204
I don't know.

433
00:16:37.246 --> 00:16:38.330
Just kind of sounds weird,
you know what I mean?

434
00:16:38.372 --> 00:16:39.915
Like, what does that even mean?

435
00:16:39.957 --> 00:16:42.126
Anyway! Doesn't matter.
What I'm trying to say

436
00:16:42.167 --> 00:16:43.210
is that everything
goes through me,

437
00:16:43.252 --> 00:16:44.378
so as long as
we all remember that,

438
00:16:44.420 --> 00:16:46.964
it is gonna be smooth sailing.
Promise!

439
00:16:47.005 --> 00:16:49.550
Great. Uh, I'm Kim,

440
00:16:49.591 --> 00:16:51.009
and this is Claire,
our camera person.

441
00:16:51.051 --> 00:16:52.052
Nice to meet you, Reed.

442
00:16:52.094 --> 00:16:53.846
Okay! Kim, Claire. Got it.

443
00:16:53.887 --> 00:16:55.305
Really looking forward
to working with you guys--

444
00:16:55.347 --> 00:16:58.350
girls. I mean, women.

445
00:16:58.392 --> 00:17:00.686
We're so excited
to be working with you too.

446
00:17:00.728 --> 00:17:02.229
So...

447
00:17:02.271 --> 00:17:04.940
So, Reed... can ya tell us

448
00:17:04.982 --> 00:17:06.692
about some of the segments
you produced?

449
00:17:06.734 --> 00:17:08.152
Well, technically,
this will be my first,

450
00:17:08.193 --> 00:17:09.820
but I've done
some great P.A. work.

451
00:17:09.862 --> 00:17:12.698
Wait. You haven't
produced anything before?

452
00:17:12.740 --> 00:17:13.741
Not technically.

453
00:17:13.782 --> 00:17:15.409
You keep saying "technically."

454
00:17:15.451 --> 00:17:16.744
It's either you have
or you haven't.

455
00:17:16.785 --> 00:17:19.121
Well, then no, okay?

456
00:17:19.163 --> 00:17:21.457
But it's fine, okay?

457
00:17:21.498 --> 00:17:24.418
Uncle Pete gave me
this assignment weeks ago.

458
00:17:24.460 --> 00:17:26.754
I was even working on it
when Jillian was still onboard.

459
00:17:26.795 --> 00:17:28.172
I even booked
our accommodations.

460
00:17:28.213 --> 00:17:29.465
Julia.

461
00:17:29.506 --> 00:17:31.759
Julia? The reporter
that I'm replacing?

462
00:17:31.800 --> 00:17:33.010
Her name is Julia.

463
00:17:33.051 --> 00:17:34.219
Jillian, Julia...

464
00:17:34.261 --> 00:17:36.346
I don't keep track
of those small details.

465
00:17:36.388 --> 00:17:37.973
I'm more of a big-picture guy,
you know?

466
00:17:38.015 --> 00:17:40.559
Your job
is all about the details.

467
00:17:40.601 --> 00:17:42.102
Soup to nuts, remember?

468
00:17:42.144 --> 00:17:43.312
Okay, it'll be fine.

469
00:17:43.353 --> 00:17:45.314
I'm prepared,
I promise, okay?

470
00:17:45.355 --> 00:17:48.025
So if you guys are ready to go,
let's get moving.

471
00:17:48.067 --> 00:17:49.067
-Great, let's do it.
-All right.

472
00:17:49.109 --> 00:17:50.360
Let's do it.

473
00:17:52.946 --> 00:17:54.782
What's the problem?

474
00:17:54.823 --> 00:17:55.949
I don't know. Door's stuck.

475
00:17:58.744 --> 00:18:02.372
It's not stuck, it's locked.
Where are the keys?

476
00:18:02.414 --> 00:18:03.207
Uh...

477
00:18:08.420 --> 00:18:10.339
Found 'em.

478
00:18:11.340 --> 00:18:14.051
Okay. No, okay.

479
00:18:14.093 --> 00:18:15.094
No, it's okay!

480
00:18:15.135 --> 00:18:16.637
You know, it's-it's--
it's... heh.

481
00:18:16.678 --> 00:18:18.722
It's okay. You know what?
This is my first problem.

482
00:18:18.764 --> 00:18:20.057
I'm the producer.

483
00:18:20.098 --> 00:18:21.850
I just gotta produce a solution.

484
00:18:23.769 --> 00:18:24.728
Good.

485
00:18:24.770 --> 00:18:25.938
Got any ideas, maybe?

486
00:18:32.194 --> 00:18:33.654
Hi there!
I am Kim Gallagher,

487
00:18:33.695 --> 00:18:36.281
here at
the Cardinal Regent Hotel

488
00:18:36.323 --> 00:18:37.991
in Carbondale, Illinois,

489
00:18:38.033 --> 00:18:41.161
the unofficial headquarters
of this year's total eclipse.

490
00:18:41.203 --> 00:18:42.830
People have gathered

491
00:18:42.871 --> 00:18:45.749
from far and wide
to witness the...

492
00:18:45.791 --> 00:18:47.084
You can't--
you can't hear me.

493
00:18:47.125 --> 00:18:48.710
"Far and wide" was like--
I don't know.

494
00:18:48.752 --> 00:18:50.128
It was kind of like...
I don't know.

495
00:18:50.170 --> 00:18:52.256
I'm gonna try that again.

496
00:18:52.297 --> 00:18:53.132
Okay, ready?

497
00:18:53.173 --> 00:18:54.967
Whew!

498
00:18:55.008 --> 00:18:56.134
Three, two...

499
00:18:56.176 --> 00:18:57.553
Hi there, Chicago!

500
00:18:57.594 --> 00:18:59.930
It's Kim Galaxy here with--

501
00:18:59.972 --> 00:19:02.516
What did I just say
was my last name?

502
00:19:02.558 --> 00:19:04.017
-Galaxy.
-Galaxy?

503
00:19:04.059 --> 00:19:05.561
I got my actual name wrong.

504
00:19:05.602 --> 00:19:07.437
It's a good thing
we're not live.

505
00:19:07.479 --> 00:19:08.856
Is this why everyone calls her
"Freezer Burn"?

506
00:19:08.897 --> 00:19:09.982
-Wait, what?

507
00:19:10.023 --> 00:19:13.068
Maybe we should
take a break and re...

508
00:19:13.110 --> 00:19:14.153
-Yeah.
-...group.

509
00:19:14.194 --> 00:19:15.404
No, I gotta get this!

510
00:19:15.445 --> 00:19:16.989
Other people are waiting,
so we're gonna...

511
00:19:17.030 --> 00:19:18.615
I'm just gonna do it.
I'm just gonna do it.

512
00:19:18.657 --> 00:19:20.159
Okay, let's go.
Let's go.

513
00:19:21.785 --> 00:19:23.954
Ho ho! A lot of people here.

514
00:19:23.996 --> 00:19:25.747
I had no idea
eclipses were such a thing.

515
00:19:25.789 --> 00:19:27.958
This might actually
be pretty fun.

516
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:29.251
Uh, I've got work to do.

517
00:19:29.293 --> 00:19:30.669
You can concentrate on fun.

518
00:19:30.711 --> 00:19:32.671
You don't
"concentrate on fun," Malcolm.

519
00:19:32.713 --> 00:19:34.047
You just have it.

520
00:19:34.089 --> 00:19:35.757
Travis, I've got
research to conduct,

521
00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:37.634
eclipse footage to record...

522
00:19:37.676 --> 00:19:40.637
and I've got to get my book
to Dr. Longford.

523
00:19:41.805 --> 00:19:43.640
I'm not here for fun.

524
00:19:45.225 --> 00:19:47.519
All right, no fun allowed.

525
00:19:47.561 --> 00:19:48.520
Got it.

526
00:19:49.771 --> 00:19:50.772
How do you know it's on?

527
00:19:50.814 --> 00:19:52.232
It's... on.

528
00:19:53.734 --> 00:19:56.236
Oh, hey, look! It's the news.
You want to try to get on TV?

529
00:19:58.864 --> 00:19:59.740
- All right. Ready?
- Hey, be careful.

530
00:19:59.781 --> 00:20:01.325
-Sorry.
-Uh, yeah.

531
00:20:01.366 --> 00:20:02.576
Everything all right?

532
00:20:02.618 --> 00:20:04.286
I think so. It's just
very delicate equipment.

533
00:20:04.328 --> 00:20:05.579
What were you saying?

534
00:20:05.621 --> 00:20:06.997
Huh? Oh, I just-- the news.

535
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:09.291
Hi! I'm Kim Gallagher
here in beautiful Carbondale.

536
00:20:09.333 --> 00:20:11.460
They're not interviewing
Dr. Longford,

537
00:20:11.501 --> 00:20:12.920
I'm not interested.

538
00:20:12.961 --> 00:20:16.006
For the first time
in 70 years...

539
00:20:16.048 --> 00:20:17.758
oh, seven!
...in seven years,

540
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:20.177
that, um, that the eclipse

541
00:20:20.219 --> 00:20:21.970
will be passing over
the exact same spot in the sky

542
00:20:22.012 --> 00:20:23.764
that it did just...

543
00:20:23.805 --> 00:20:25.474
What are the ch--?
Oh, god. You know what?

544
00:20:25.515 --> 00:20:27.184
I-- Can we maybe just, like,

545
00:20:27.226 --> 00:20:29.811
change up the angle
or something? I--

546
00:20:29.853 --> 00:20:31.021
Can I see
your research notes, Reed?

547
00:20:31.063 --> 00:20:32.439
My what?

548
00:20:32.481 --> 00:20:34.066
-Your research?
-My--

549
00:20:34.107 --> 00:20:35.943
You know, on, like,
on the hotel, on the town...

550
00:20:35.984 --> 00:20:38.237
You did do research, didn't you?

551
00:20:38.278 --> 00:20:39.446
No! No-- no one told me

552
00:20:39.488 --> 00:20:41.323
that I was supposed
to be do-doing that--

553
00:20:41.365 --> 00:20:44.368
Reed! That's just
basic preparation.

554
00:20:44.409 --> 00:20:46.495
Oh, my. You know what?
Never mind. Never mind.

555
00:20:46.536 --> 00:20:47.746
I will-- I'll figure it out.

556
00:20:47.788 --> 00:20:49.081
What do we think about
the tone, though?

557
00:20:49.122 --> 00:20:50.207
You know, should I, like,
change it up a little bit?

558
00:20:50.249 --> 00:20:51.667
Make it, like, fun and breezy,

559
00:20:51.708 --> 00:20:53.043
or more like
sciencey and serious?

560
00:20:53.085 --> 00:20:54.044
-Yeah.
-What should we do?

561
00:20:54.086 --> 00:20:55.462
How about over and done?

562
00:20:57.506 --> 00:20:58.632
What?

563
00:20:58.674 --> 00:21:01.969
Steve Hartwin,
KCYD St. Louis News.

564
00:21:02.010 --> 00:21:04.471
Uh, Kim Gallagher,
WGZA Chicago.

565
00:21:04.513 --> 00:21:05.847
Hi, Kim. Nice to meet you.

566
00:21:05.889 --> 00:21:08.392
Listen, I was wondering,
could you do me a favor,

567
00:21:08.433 --> 00:21:09.559
you know,
colleague to colleague?

568
00:21:09.601 --> 00:21:10.852
Yeah, absolutely.
What do you need?

569
00:21:10.894 --> 00:21:11.770
Could you get
out of the way, Kim?

570
00:21:11.812 --> 00:21:12.980
Um, what?

571
00:21:13.021 --> 00:21:14.940
My team have been watching

572
00:21:14.982 --> 00:21:17.484
you and your painful attempts
to say anything coherent

573
00:21:17.526 --> 00:21:19.486
for the last 10 minutes,
and, uh...

574
00:21:19.528 --> 00:21:22.114
gosh, we're just
plumb out of patience.

575
00:21:22.155 --> 00:21:23.240
-Wow.
-Yeah.

576
00:21:23.281 --> 00:21:24.366
Okay.

577
00:21:24.408 --> 00:21:25.409
Look,
you're not the only one

578
00:21:25.450 --> 00:21:26.827
trying to record
a stand-up here today,

579
00:21:26.868 --> 00:21:27.953
and I'm just worried

580
00:21:27.995 --> 00:21:29.204
that by the time
you finally get it right,

581
00:21:29.246 --> 00:21:30.539
the light'll be gone,

582
00:21:30.580 --> 00:21:31.999
and we're gonna be
covering the next eclipse.

583
00:21:32.040 --> 00:21:33.291
-Yeah.
-So move, please?

584
00:21:33.333 --> 00:21:34.084
I got it. Okay.

585
00:21:34.126 --> 00:21:35.127
Sorry.

586
00:21:35.168 --> 00:21:37.045
Thank you.
Hey, don't worry!

587
00:21:37.087 --> 00:21:38.672
You can have the spot back
when I'm done.

588
00:21:38.714 --> 00:21:40.882
Rude!

589
00:21:40.924 --> 00:21:42.843
Don't worry about it.
We got everything we need.

590
00:21:42.884 --> 00:21:44.052
We do?

591
00:21:44.094 --> 00:21:45.304
Yeah. We could
piece something together.

592
00:21:45.345 --> 00:21:46.847
We can?

593
00:21:46.888 --> 00:21:50.976
Why don't you go to the van,
send the editors what we have,

594
00:21:51.018 --> 00:21:52.269
and Kim and I'll check in?

595
00:21:52.310 --> 00:21:53.687
Okay.

596
00:21:53.729 --> 00:21:55.397
Well, this is off
to a terrific start.

597
00:21:55.439 --> 00:21:58.066
It's not how you start,
it's how you finish.

598
00:21:59.693 --> 00:22:00.986
This is Steve Hartwin

599
00:22:01.028 --> 00:22:04.489
at the Cardinal Regent Hotel
in Carbondale, Illinois.

600
00:22:04.531 --> 00:22:06.408
Back to you, Beverly.

601
00:22:12.664 --> 00:22:14.458
You know, that was
actually pretty impressive.

602
00:22:14.499 --> 00:22:16.752
You know what
might help the edit?

603
00:22:16.793 --> 00:22:18.211
If I get some B-roll
of the lobby.

604
00:22:18.253 --> 00:22:19.212
-Oh, yeah!
-You go line up.

605
00:22:19.254 --> 00:22:20.505
I'll be right there.
-Okay.

606
00:22:25.719 --> 00:22:27.471
Hey, Reed, what's up?

607
00:22:28.638 --> 00:22:31.183
You what?
Okay, I'll be right there.

608
00:22:32.893 --> 00:22:34.353
Claire?

609
00:22:34.394 --> 00:22:36.605
So, Reed left the lights on
in the van,

610
00:22:36.646 --> 00:22:37.856
and now the battery's dead.

611
00:22:37.898 --> 00:22:38.940
You're kidding.

612
00:22:38.982 --> 00:22:40.567
I wish I was.
Can you handle check-in?

613
00:22:40.609 --> 00:22:42.361
Yeah, sure. Good luck.

614
00:22:43.528 --> 00:22:44.738
Dr. Brooks?

615
00:22:45.697 --> 00:22:47.407
Oh, boy.

616
00:22:47.449 --> 00:22:48.366
What? Who is that?

617
00:22:48.408 --> 00:22:49.659
Former student.

618
00:22:49.701 --> 00:22:51.703
Incredibly smart,
but she's got a lot of energy.

619
00:22:52.746 --> 00:22:54.706
Dr. Brooks? Meredith Gordon.

620
00:22:54.748 --> 00:22:57.167
I was in your Astronomy 101
class three years ago.

621
00:22:57.209 --> 00:22:58.543
Meredith, of course.

622
00:22:58.585 --> 00:23:01.129
Great to see you again.

623
00:23:01.171 --> 00:23:03.173
This is my friend, Travis.
He's also--

624
00:23:03.215 --> 00:23:05.133
Oh, I know Professor Westley.

625
00:23:05.175 --> 00:23:07.260
My best friend, Carolyn,
was in your Film Studies class.

626
00:23:07.302 --> 00:23:09.471
She thought
you were the greatest.

627
00:23:09.513 --> 00:23:10.889
Sounds like
a bright young mind.

628
00:23:10.931 --> 00:23:12.474
I was really hoping
you'd be here.

629
00:23:12.516 --> 00:23:13.683
I remember you saying

630
00:23:13.725 --> 00:23:15.310
how amazing
the last eclipse was to watch,

631
00:23:15.352 --> 00:23:17.437
so I just had
to come see it for myself.

632
00:23:17.479 --> 00:23:19.064
I'm glad to hear you're still
interested in stargazing.

633
00:23:19.106 --> 00:23:20.023
Oh, uh, I am!

634
00:23:20.065 --> 00:23:21.817
I'm even getting my master's,

635
00:23:21.858 --> 00:23:23.985
and my thesis
is on the sun's corona,

636
00:23:24.027 --> 00:23:26.822
but my telescope
isn't working right.

637
00:23:26.863 --> 00:23:29.449
Do you think you could
take a look at it?

638
00:23:29.491 --> 00:23:31.410
There is nothing
he would love more

639
00:23:31.451 --> 00:23:33.537
than to help
a former student.

640
00:23:33.578 --> 00:23:34.913
Right?

641
00:23:34.955 --> 00:23:36.915
Go ahead, I'll, uh,
get us checked in.

642
00:23:36.957 --> 00:23:39.918
Sure, let's go take a look.

643
00:23:45.549 --> 00:23:48.301
A Panasonic AJ-PX800G?

644
00:23:48.343 --> 00:23:49.719
Nice!

645
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:53.098
Built-in optical
conversion lens,

646
00:23:53.140 --> 00:23:55.350
improved 3MOS sensor...

647
00:23:55.392 --> 00:23:57.602
You know your cameras.

648
00:23:57.644 --> 00:23:58.979
A little.

649
00:23:59.020 --> 00:24:02.524
I'm a film professor
at a junior college in Arizona.

650
00:24:02.566 --> 00:24:04.860
We don't have anything
as impressive as that,

651
00:24:04.901 --> 00:24:07.362
but I like to stay up-to-date
on these things.

652
00:24:07.404 --> 00:24:09.906
Arizona, huh?
Long way from home.

653
00:24:09.948 --> 00:24:11.658
Oh, my buddy's an astronomer.

654
00:24:11.700 --> 00:24:14.119
His assistant canceled,
so he asked me to tag along.

655
00:24:14.161 --> 00:24:16.580
Ah.

656
00:24:16.621 --> 00:24:17.664
What about you?

657
00:24:17.706 --> 00:24:18.707
I'm a camera person

658
00:24:18.748 --> 00:24:21.001
for a local news station
in Chicago.

659
00:24:21.042 --> 00:24:22.294
I used to be
a camera person too,

660
00:24:22.335 --> 00:24:24.921
but unfortunately,
I had to give it up.

661
00:24:24.963 --> 00:24:26.214
Why's that?

662
00:24:26.256 --> 00:24:28.467
Kept losing focus?

663
00:24:34.097 --> 00:24:35.932
Okay, this is not my fault.

664
00:24:35.974 --> 00:24:37.601
The lights are supposed to
turn off when you shut it off.

665
00:24:37.642 --> 00:24:38.602
What kind of vehicle
did they give us?

666
00:24:38.643 --> 00:24:40.061
We are the B-team, Reed.

667
00:24:40.103 --> 00:24:42.230
We get what we get,
and we don't get upset,

668
00:24:42.272 --> 00:24:44.274
and there's no use
in complaining, okay?

669
00:24:44.316 --> 00:24:46.484
Um, maybe there's
a battery booster

670
00:24:46.526 --> 00:24:48.153
stashed inside?

671
00:24:49.321 --> 00:24:51.323
Everything all right?

672
00:24:51.364 --> 00:24:52.824
Yeah, we're all good, thanks.

673
00:24:52.866 --> 00:24:53.783
Gah!

674
00:24:53.825 --> 00:24:55.035
You sure
you don't need any help?

675
00:24:55.076 --> 00:24:56.328
No, we're good.

676
00:24:56.369 --> 00:24:57.996
Ha! Reed!

677
00:24:58.038 --> 00:24:59.414
I found one!

678
00:25:00.874 --> 00:25:02.542
Okay, here we go.

679
00:25:04.377 --> 00:25:05.378
From what you're saying,

680
00:25:05.420 --> 00:25:06.254
it sounds like
a calibration issue,

681
00:25:06.296 --> 00:25:07.339
usually not that big a deal.

682
00:25:09.508 --> 00:25:11.384
Wow, what a beauty!

683
00:25:11.426 --> 00:25:12.469
Yeah, thanks.

684
00:25:12.510 --> 00:25:14.012
It was
a college graduation gift.

685
00:25:14.054 --> 00:25:16.598
Think you could fix it?

686
00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:17.724
I think so.

687
00:25:17.766 --> 00:25:19.434
I have a collimator
with me, so...

688
00:25:19.476 --> 00:25:20.560
we should set it up
first, though,

689
00:25:20.602 --> 00:25:21.728
make sure we get it right.

690
00:25:21.770 --> 00:25:23.855
Okay.

691
00:25:24.898 --> 00:25:26.149
Ah!

692
00:25:26.191 --> 00:25:29.528
Yes! We got it!

693
00:25:29.569 --> 00:25:31.905
How was your trip
from Chicago?

694
00:25:31.947 --> 00:25:33.823
More exciting
than I would've liked.

695
00:25:34.991 --> 00:25:36.660
We have the world's
oldest news van

696
00:25:36.701 --> 00:25:38.537
with the world's
youngest producer at the wheel.

697
00:25:38.578 --> 00:25:39.871
It was just--
-Next, please?

698
00:25:41.623 --> 00:25:43.250
After you.

699
00:25:43.291 --> 00:25:44.668
Okay.

700
00:25:46.336 --> 00:25:48.797
Hi. Checking in. WGZA News.

701
00:25:48.838 --> 00:25:51.633
WGZA.

702
00:25:52.801 --> 00:25:54.177
Yes, for one room?

703
00:25:54.219 --> 00:25:56.555
One room? N-- uh...

704
00:25:56.596 --> 00:25:58.265
No, it should be three.

705
00:25:59.349 --> 00:26:01.977
Uh, I'm only showing the one.

706
00:26:02.018 --> 00:26:04.062
Well, that--
that's not gonna work.

707
00:26:04.104 --> 00:26:05.063
We need two more.

708
00:26:05.105 --> 00:26:06.231
I'm so sorry.

709
00:26:06.273 --> 00:26:07.649
We don't have
any other rooms available.

710
00:26:09.567 --> 00:26:10.610
Reed!

711
00:26:14.531 --> 00:26:16.241
We are here
in Carbondale, Illinois,

712
00:26:16.283 --> 00:26:17.450
where workers are busy

713
00:26:17.492 --> 00:26:19.619
setting up
for tomorrow's Festivus.

714
00:26:19.661 --> 00:26:21.079
...val. Festival.

715
00:26:21.121 --> 00:26:22.289
Keep going, keep going.

716
00:26:22.330 --> 00:26:24.082
Um, um, dozens,
if not hundreds

717
00:26:24.124 --> 00:26:27.460
of eclipse--

718
00:26:27.502 --> 00:26:28.878
...en, uh, enthusiasts, are--

719
00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:29.963
All right,
let's just try that again.

720
00:26:30.005 --> 00:26:31.256
We are... we're live, Reed.

721
00:26:31.298 --> 00:26:33.300
-What?
-Yeah!

722
00:26:33.341 --> 00:26:35.010
So, um, there you have it.

723
00:26:35.051 --> 00:26:36.511
That's it,

724
00:26:36.553 --> 00:26:39.556
and I am Kim Gallagher
live from Carbondale,

725
00:26:39.597 --> 00:26:42.017
and I will see you
again tomorrow

726
00:26:42.058 --> 00:26:43.226
for the big event.

727
00:26:43.268 --> 00:26:45.562
Back to you, Keith!

728
00:26:45.604 --> 00:26:46.479
Clear.

729
00:26:46.521 --> 00:26:47.856
Oh, god.

730
00:26:47.897 --> 00:26:49.065
Kim, that was--
that was--

731
00:26:49.107 --> 00:26:51.067
I don't. No, don't.

732
00:26:51.109 --> 00:26:51.943
Okay.

733
00:26:51.985 --> 00:26:53.153
Ow!

734
00:26:53.194 --> 00:26:54.779
That was not my fault.

735
00:26:54.821 --> 00:26:56.698
No one told me
we were going to go live.

736
00:26:56.740 --> 00:26:59.075
Yes, we did.
Yes, we did!

737
00:26:59.117 --> 00:27:00.160
You were playing Candy Crush
on your phone.

738
00:27:00.201 --> 00:27:01.286
Claire said,
"We're about to go live,"

739
00:27:01.328 --> 00:27:02.245
and you said, "Uh-huh."

740
00:27:02.287 --> 00:27:03.455
It wasn't Candy Crush.

741
00:27:03.496 --> 00:27:04.706
Just stop, Reed.

742
00:27:04.748 --> 00:27:05.832
Oh, Reed...

743
00:27:05.874 --> 00:27:07.834
You are the producer, okay?

744
00:27:07.876 --> 00:27:09.377
We are depending on you!

745
00:27:09.419 --> 00:27:10.962
You said
that you would be prepared.

746
00:27:11.004 --> 00:27:12.922
You said that you wanted to be
in charge of all of this!

747
00:27:12.964 --> 00:27:14.341
I am in charge!

748
00:27:14.382 --> 00:27:16.092
Then start acting like it!

749
00:27:22.891 --> 00:27:25.310
Oh... that was a disaster.

750
00:27:25.352 --> 00:27:27.771
Uh, could've gone better.

751
00:27:28.897 --> 00:27:31.566
He walked into a live shot!

752
00:27:31.608 --> 00:27:33.735
Which I should actually
probably thank him for,

753
00:27:33.777 --> 00:27:35.070
since I was so terrible.

754
00:27:35.111 --> 00:27:36.738
Well, you-you-- mm....

755
00:27:36.780 --> 00:27:38.656
you weren't terrible.

756
00:27:38.698 --> 00:27:41.284
I was... terrible adjacent.

757
00:27:41.326 --> 00:27:43.870
I am-- I am...

758
00:27:43.912 --> 00:27:46.039
I'm blowing it, Claire.

759
00:27:46.081 --> 00:27:47.707
I'm just...

760
00:27:48.875 --> 00:27:51.086
I feel like such a fraud!

761
00:27:52.337 --> 00:27:54.339
Kim!

762
00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:15.318
Hey, it's the camerawoman.

763
00:28:15.360 --> 00:28:17.987
It's the professor.

764
00:28:20.281 --> 00:28:21.741
My name's Claire, by the way.

765
00:28:21.783 --> 00:28:25.662
Travis. Mind if I...?

766
00:28:26.746 --> 00:28:28.665
Yeah.

767
00:28:33.044 --> 00:28:34.421
Isn't it weird

768
00:28:34.462 --> 00:28:36.131
that when you meet someone
who's...

769
00:28:36.172 --> 00:28:38.717
fun, cool,
and easy to talk to,

770
00:28:38.758 --> 00:28:40.468
you always forget
to ask them their name?

771
00:28:40.510 --> 00:28:42.679
You think I'm fun and cool?

772
00:28:42.721 --> 00:28:44.556
And easy to talk to.

773
00:28:47.517 --> 00:28:49.436
Right now, you look like

774
00:28:49.477 --> 00:28:51.396
someone who has
something to talk about.

775
00:28:51.438 --> 00:28:52.564
The shoot not going well?

776
00:28:52.605 --> 00:28:55.358
Are you psychic?

777
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:56.526
Sometimes.

778
00:28:56.568 --> 00:28:57.902
Uh, excuse me.

779
00:28:57.944 --> 00:28:59.612
May I please grab a beer,

780
00:28:59.654 --> 00:29:02.031
and can I buy you a drink?

781
00:29:02.073 --> 00:29:03.992
Sure.

782
00:29:09.456 --> 00:29:11.458
Wait. So,
you're a film professor,

783
00:29:11.499 --> 00:29:14.169
and your favorite movie
of all time

784
00:29:14.210 --> 00:29:15.962
is
Weekend at Bernie's II?

785
00:29:16.004 --> 00:29:17.380
Yeah, right!

786
00:29:17.422 --> 00:29:18.506
It's true!

787
00:29:18.548 --> 00:29:19.591
You'd think they couldn't
outdo the first,

788
00:29:19.632 --> 00:29:20.800
but somehow they managed.

789
00:29:24.179 --> 00:29:26.181
Uh, so I saw
they had a food truck outside,

790
00:29:26.222 --> 00:29:27.682
so what do you say--?

791
00:29:27.724 --> 00:29:29.267
Uh, Kim! Hey!
This is Travis. He's--

792
00:29:29.309 --> 00:29:30.602
Hi. Hi, Travis.

793
00:29:30.643 --> 00:29:33.021
Uh, so Reed has locked himself
in the hotel room.

794
00:29:33.062 --> 00:29:34.522
Oh, the kid's such a handful.

795
00:29:34.564 --> 00:29:36.274
Yeah, and he's now
having a temper tantrum,

796
00:29:36.316 --> 00:29:37.692
so that's fun.
Can you help me?

797
00:29:37.734 --> 00:29:39.068
Yeah. Sorry.

798
00:29:39.110 --> 00:29:40.612
Apparently, there's
a crisis I need to deal with.

799
00:29:40.653 --> 00:29:42.614
Hey! I saw there's gonna be
a party in the ballroom later.

800
00:29:42.655 --> 00:29:43.990
Maybe I'll see you there?

801
00:29:44.032 --> 00:29:45.074
Yeah, that would be great!

802
00:29:45.116 --> 00:29:46.659
Sorry.

803
00:29:46.701 --> 00:29:48.077
-Yeah.
-Sorry!

804
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:50.622
You were too harsh on Reed.
You should've apologized.

805
00:29:50.663 --> 00:29:52.415
Why should I apologize?

806
00:29:52.457 --> 00:29:54.167
Because, Kim, he's just a kid,

807
00:29:54.209 --> 00:29:56.920
and one of you
has to be the adult.

808
00:29:56.961 --> 00:29:58.546
I am an adult.

809
00:30:08.097 --> 00:30:09.933
Hey.

810
00:30:09.974 --> 00:30:12.435
Ready to go grab a bite?

811
00:30:12.477 --> 00:30:14.103
Everything okay?

812
00:30:15.188 --> 00:30:18.191
Yeah. Everything's great.

813
00:30:18.233 --> 00:30:19.317
It's taco time.

814
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:20.985
Let's do it.

815
00:30:23.571 --> 00:30:26.574
Reed... please open the door.

816
00:30:26.616 --> 00:30:28.743
Maybe try apologizing.

817
00:30:29.994 --> 00:30:31.496
Okay, fine.

818
00:30:31.538 --> 00:30:34.833
Reed? Hey, Reed?

819
00:30:34.874 --> 00:30:37.919
Look, I'm sorry
about what happened before.

820
00:30:37.961 --> 00:30:40.004
I shouldn't have gotten angry.

821
00:30:41.631 --> 00:30:43.258
Will you please
just open the door?

822
00:30:49.722 --> 00:30:52.058
I'm sorry too.

823
00:30:52.100 --> 00:30:53.977
There! That's a start.

824
00:30:54.018 --> 00:30:55.728
Now, listen.

825
00:30:55.770 --> 00:30:57.772
We have a job to do tomorrow,

826
00:30:57.814 --> 00:30:58.982
and if we're gonna do it right,

827
00:30:59.023 --> 00:31:01.859
you two need
to work out your issues, so...

828
00:31:01.901 --> 00:31:03.653
do not join me

829
00:31:03.695 --> 00:31:06.823
until you've talked this out,
okay?

830
00:31:06.865 --> 00:31:08.741
Okay?
-Okay.

831
00:31:14.581 --> 00:31:15.915
I'm sorry about the room.

832
00:31:15.957 --> 00:31:17.875
I'll just sleep in the bathtub.

833
00:31:17.917 --> 00:31:20.837
I'm sure we can call down
to the front desk

834
00:31:20.878 --> 00:31:22.839
and have a roll-away brought up.

835
00:31:22.881 --> 00:31:25.383
I... really am sorry.

836
00:31:26.593 --> 00:31:28.428
God, I keep messing up.

837
00:31:28.469 --> 00:31:32.432
Just everyone keeps
expecting me to fail, and...

838
00:31:32.473 --> 00:31:35.310
I am... I'm really trying.

839
00:31:35.351 --> 00:31:37.312
I know. I know you are.

840
00:31:37.353 --> 00:31:40.189
I'm... I am sorry
that I've been so hard on you.

841
00:31:40.231 --> 00:31:42.358
It's just this is
such a big opportunity for me.

842
00:31:45.653 --> 00:31:46.654
You know, when I was your age,

843
00:31:46.696 --> 00:31:48.448
I was just brimming
with confidence.

844
00:31:48.489 --> 00:31:50.867
10 feet tall and bulletproof,
you know?

845
00:31:50.909 --> 00:31:54.454
But then...

846
00:31:54.495 --> 00:31:57.415
after so many years
out of the workforce,

847
00:31:57.457 --> 00:32:01.085
I think I'm just not as sure
of myself as I used to be.

848
00:32:03.046 --> 00:32:05.298
Maybe not as competent either.

849
00:32:06.674 --> 00:32:08.092
A little while ago,

850
00:32:08.134 --> 00:32:09.344
I was given a chance to do

851
00:32:09.385 --> 00:32:11.721
a live report
on this fire downtown.

852
00:32:11.763 --> 00:32:13.222
It was the first time

853
00:32:13.264 --> 00:32:15.516
your uncle had ever given me
a chance to speak on-camera.

854
00:32:15.558 --> 00:32:18.519
I-I called the segment
"Flames of Fury."

855
00:32:18.561 --> 00:32:20.229
Wow! Yeah, that's good.

856
00:32:20.271 --> 00:32:22.857
Yeah. Too bad
my performance wasn't.

857
00:32:24.108 --> 00:32:27.904
I've been blaming it
on a faulty headpiece,

858
00:32:27.945 --> 00:32:30.198
but the reality is
I just froze up.

859
00:32:30.239 --> 00:32:31.991
The "Freezer Burn" thing?

860
00:32:32.033 --> 00:32:34.619
Yeah, "Freezer Burn" thing.

861
00:32:34.661 --> 00:32:37.955
But I... I am not
gonna let that define me.

862
00:32:39.290 --> 00:32:41.501
You get knocked down,
you get right back up again.

863
00:32:41.542 --> 00:32:44.087
And-and all those people

864
00:32:44.128 --> 00:32:46.005
who think
that we can't do this,

865
00:32:46.047 --> 00:32:48.633
well, we're just gonna have
to prove to them that we can.

866
00:32:48.675 --> 00:32:51.135
And we're gonna have to prove
that to ourselves, too...

867
00:32:51.177 --> 00:32:52.845
you know, actually,
especially to ourselves,

868
00:32:52.887 --> 00:32:55.556
and I-I actually really believe

869
00:32:55.598 --> 00:32:57.809
that we can
help each other succeed.

870
00:32:59.143 --> 00:33:00.520
Right?

871
00:33:00.561 --> 00:33:02.605
Right.

872
00:33:02.647 --> 00:33:04.816
Right, yeah! Okay. So...

873
00:33:04.857 --> 00:33:06.401
you know, we're a team.

874
00:33:06.442 --> 00:33:08.444
Let's start acting like one.

875
00:33:08.486 --> 00:33:10.196
Yeah!
-Yeah.

876
00:33:11.155 --> 00:33:13.533
Thank you.

877
00:33:14.450 --> 00:33:15.952
Hey, man.

878
00:33:15.993 --> 00:33:18.037
Have you... you ever had
an immediate connection

879
00:33:18.079 --> 00:33:19.956
with someone
you've only just met?

880
00:33:19.998 --> 00:33:23.418
Yeah, once. Why?

881
00:33:23.459 --> 00:33:26.170
So, that guy
that you were talking to...?

882
00:33:26.212 --> 00:33:29.757
The funny, nice guy
with the cute accent

883
00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:32.009
that was about to ask me out
before you dragged me away?

884
00:33:32.051 --> 00:33:33.678
I'm sorry!

885
00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:34.846
That's okay.

886
00:33:34.887 --> 00:33:36.222
I'm sure I'll see him again.

887
00:33:36.264 --> 00:33:37.682
Well, his name's Travis...

888
00:33:37.724 --> 00:33:38.850
Her name's Claire,

889
00:33:38.891 --> 00:33:42.687
and I don't know
what to tell you, man--

890
00:33:42.729 --> 00:33:44.522
butterflies, fireworks...

891
00:33:44.564 --> 00:33:46.357
the whole nine yards.

892
00:33:46.399 --> 00:33:50.278
I've just never connected with
someone so quickly, you know?

893
00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:52.321
I mean,
I only came out here to...

894
00:33:52.363 --> 00:33:54.323
...work and hang out with you,

895
00:33:54.365 --> 00:33:55.491
and all of a sudden,

896
00:33:55.533 --> 00:33:57.035
my dream man's
right in front of me?

897
00:33:57.076 --> 00:33:58.494
I mean...

898
00:33:58.536 --> 00:34:00.079
what are the chances?

899
00:34:00.121 --> 00:34:01.748
The universe is funny that way.

900
00:34:01.789 --> 00:34:04.000
Sometimes things just line up.

901
00:34:04.041 --> 00:34:05.334
Okay, did you know

902
00:34:05.376 --> 00:34:07.795
that the sun is 400 times
the size of the moon...

903
00:34:07.837 --> 00:34:10.089
...but the moon is
400 times closer to the Earth?

904
00:34:10.131 --> 00:34:12.759
That's why they-they seem
like a perfect fit

905
00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:14.552
during an eclipse.

906
00:34:14.594 --> 00:34:17.972
Of course, that perfect fit
only lasts for a moment...

907
00:34:18.014 --> 00:34:19.849
...and then,
once that moment's gone...

908
00:34:23.269 --> 00:34:24.687
Claire...

909
00:34:24.729 --> 00:34:27.231
you never know when
you're gonna find a perfect fit.

910
00:34:27.273 --> 00:34:28.691
But if you think
there's a chance

911
00:34:28.733 --> 00:34:30.318
that this is your perfect fit...

912
00:34:30.359 --> 00:34:33.905
...my advice to you is
don't let it pass you by.

913
00:34:39.327 --> 00:34:40.411
As you can see,

914
00:34:40.453 --> 00:34:42.079
everyone here
at the Eclipse Festival

915
00:34:42.121 --> 00:34:44.957
knows how to let loose
and enjoy themselves.

916
00:34:44.999 --> 00:34:46.125
Well, that's all for tonight.

917
00:34:46.167 --> 00:34:48.461
Tune in tomorrow
for the big event,

918
00:34:48.503 --> 00:34:50.213
the total eclipse!

919
00:34:53.424 --> 00:34:56.177
Oh, I feel ridiculous
in this thing.

920
00:34:56.219 --> 00:34:58.805
Well, since everyone else here
is wearing them,

921
00:34:58.846 --> 00:35:00.598
you'd look ridiculous
if you took it off.

922
00:35:00.640 --> 00:35:01.557
Now, come on!

923
00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:02.892
Help me find Claire.

924
00:35:02.934 --> 00:35:04.018
Are you sure you need me here?

925
00:35:04.060 --> 00:35:05.728
Won't I just be
like a third wheel?

926
00:35:05.770 --> 00:35:06.813
She's got a friend!

927
00:35:06.854 --> 00:35:08.106
I might need you
to be my wing man.

928
00:35:08.147 --> 00:35:09.398
Now, wait here.

929
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:11.818
I'm gonna go do a loop,
see if I can spot her.

930
00:35:11.859 --> 00:35:13.611
I'll be right back!

931
00:35:17.740 --> 00:35:19.450
Dr. Brooks?

932
00:35:19.492 --> 00:35:20.618
Sorry, Malcolm.

933
00:35:20.660 --> 00:35:21.911
Yeah, it's me?

934
00:35:21.953 --> 00:35:23.496
Oh, I'm surprised you're here.

935
00:35:23.538 --> 00:35:25.206
I don't think of you
as a party person.

936
00:35:25.248 --> 00:35:26.249
Oh, I'm not.

937
00:35:26.290 --> 00:35:27.625
I'm here for Travis.

938
00:35:27.667 --> 00:35:30.503
I should be trying
to get ahold of Dr. Longford,

939
00:35:30.545 --> 00:35:33.005
but I don't think his assistant
believes he knows me.

940
00:35:33.047 --> 00:35:35.258
Wait. You know Dr. Longford?

941
00:35:35.299 --> 00:35:37.635
I'm trying to get him
to read this book I wrote.

942
00:35:37.677 --> 00:35:38.803
You wrote a book?

943
00:35:38.845 --> 00:35:40.805
What's it called?

944
00:35:40.847 --> 00:35:41.889
"Cosmic Phenomena

945
00:35:41.931 --> 00:35:43.724
and Their Effects
on Early Cultures:

946
00:35:43.766 --> 00:35:45.560
A Study in Three Parts,
Volume I."

947
00:35:45.601 --> 00:35:48.437
Wow! I so want to read that.

948
00:35:48.479 --> 00:35:49.564
Oh. Oh,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

949
00:35:49.605 --> 00:35:51.315
Thank you.

950
00:35:51.357 --> 00:35:54.569
To... a successful shoot.

951
00:35:54.610 --> 00:35:55.945
I'll drink to that.

952
00:35:58.030 --> 00:36:00.032
Ooh! Oh, what time is it?

953
00:36:00.074 --> 00:36:01.409
Like five to eight.

954
00:36:01.450 --> 00:36:02.660
It's Anna's bedtime.

955
00:36:02.702 --> 00:36:03.494
I'm gonna grab my phone,
give her a quick call.

956
00:36:03.536 --> 00:36:04.287
Okay!

957
00:36:09.375 --> 00:36:10.835
Hey, Claire, is that you?

958
00:36:10.877 --> 00:36:12.461
-Reed!
-Yeah.

959
00:36:12.503 --> 00:36:13.754
We missed you at dinner.

960
00:36:13.796 --> 00:36:15.840
Yeah. So, I'm trying
to get better at this job,

961
00:36:15.882 --> 00:36:17.633
so I spent some time
preparing for tomorrow.

962
00:36:17.675 --> 00:36:19.135
That's good.

963
00:36:19.177 --> 00:36:21.095
Wouldn't want anything falling
through the cracks, right?

964
00:36:21.137 --> 00:36:24.223
Hi, baby! Hi, Mom.

965
00:36:24.265 --> 00:36:25.850
Mommy, we saw you on TV.

966
00:36:25.892 --> 00:36:27.560
You were funny.

967
00:36:27.602 --> 00:36:29.103
Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it,

968
00:36:29.145 --> 00:36:32.273
but I wasn't supposed
to be funny.

969
00:36:32.315 --> 00:36:34.358
I, uh... Mommy actually
made a few mistakes.

970
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:35.818
I'm sure no one noticed.

971
00:36:35.860 --> 00:36:37.528
Everyone noticed.

972
00:36:37.570 --> 00:36:40.907
I-I just hope we can
pull it together by tomorrow.

973
00:36:40.948 --> 00:36:42.742
Come on, honey,
you're gonna be great!

974
00:36:42.783 --> 00:36:45.286
Here... listen
to your horoscope.

975
00:36:45.328 --> 00:36:47.914
Oh, please, I don't want
to hear the horoscope.

976
00:36:47.955 --> 00:36:50.791
"Expertise will..."

977
00:36:50.833 --> 00:36:54.629
"...guide you
to your heart's desire."

978
00:36:54.670 --> 00:36:57.173
That sounds promising,
doesn't it?

979
00:36:57.215 --> 00:36:58.674
Uh, well, it might,

980
00:36:58.716 --> 00:37:00.384
if expertise
weren't in such short supply.

981
00:37:00.426 --> 00:37:01.719
The only one here

982
00:37:01.761 --> 00:37:03.763
who has any idea
what they're doing is Claire.

983
00:37:03.804 --> 00:37:05.723
-Mommy?
-
Yeah, baby?

984
00:37:05.765 --> 00:37:08.476
What if I get scared tomorrow
during the eclipse?

985
00:37:08.517 --> 00:37:11.687
Yeah. We're, um...
we're struggling a little bit

986
00:37:11.729 --> 00:37:13.981
with the idea of it getting dark
in the daytime.

987
00:37:14.023 --> 00:37:15.566
Yeah, that does sound scary.

988
00:37:15.608 --> 00:37:16.943
Hey, but you know what?

989
00:37:16.984 --> 00:37:19.278
Sometimes,
it's okay to be scared.

990
00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:20.237
You know why?

991
00:37:20.279 --> 00:37:21.364
Why?

992
00:37:21.405 --> 00:37:23.324
Because when you're scared,

993
00:37:23.366 --> 00:37:24.700
it gives you
a chance to be brave,

994
00:37:24.742 --> 00:37:27.036
and no one's braver than you,
right?

995
00:37:27.078 --> 00:37:28.204
-Right!
-Right.

996
00:37:28.246 --> 00:37:29.747
Okay, I love you.

997
00:37:29.789 --> 00:37:31.207
I love you!

998
00:37:31.248 --> 00:37:32.708
Bye!

999
00:37:32.750 --> 00:37:34.001
Bye, sweetheart. Mwah!

1000
00:37:37.171 --> 00:37:38.464
It's just--

1001
00:37:38.506 --> 00:37:40.049
...if you're serious
about a career in academia,

1002
00:37:40.091 --> 00:37:42.927
you've got
to get published, but...

1003
00:37:42.969 --> 00:37:45.513
ah, I worry my book's
just not good enough.

1004
00:37:45.554 --> 00:37:47.014
How could
it not be good enough?

1005
00:37:47.056 --> 00:37:49.058
You're the best teacher
I ever had.

1006
00:37:49.100 --> 00:37:51.227
Getting published
is no easy feat.

1007
00:37:51.268 --> 00:37:54.313
Dr. Longford, with his contacts,
his clout,

1008
00:37:54.355 --> 00:37:57.275
he's my best shot at getting it
in the right hands.

1009
00:37:57.316 --> 00:38:00.611
Attention, please!
Can I have your attention?

1010
00:38:01.988 --> 00:38:05.992
I have a fantastic
surprise for all of you.

1011
00:38:06.033 --> 00:38:08.661
A very, very special guest

1012
00:38:08.703 --> 00:38:11.580
has just called in
to say hello.

1013
00:38:11.622 --> 00:38:12.873
So...

1014
00:38:12.915 --> 00:38:15.501
let's give a warm welcome...

1015
00:38:15.543 --> 00:38:20.756
to Dr. Stanley Longford!

1016
00:38:24.677 --> 00:38:26.762
Hello, eclipse-chasers.

1017
00:38:26.804 --> 00:38:28.639
Ah, just look at this place.

1018
00:38:30.307 --> 00:38:31.434
Whoo!

1019
00:38:31.475 --> 00:38:32.852
I just want to say

1020
00:38:32.893 --> 00:38:36.647
I'm excited to see you all
at tomorrow's festival,

1021
00:38:36.689 --> 00:38:38.399
and after the eclipse,

1022
00:38:38.441 --> 00:38:39.900
I'll be recording

1023
00:38:39.942 --> 00:38:42.653
a special live episode
of my podcast

1024
00:38:42.695 --> 00:38:44.030
from the park.

1025
00:38:44.071 --> 00:38:46.991
I may even choose
one or two of you lucky folks

1026
00:38:47.033 --> 00:38:48.451
to join me.

1027
00:38:48.492 --> 00:38:49.618
How does that sound?

1028
00:38:50.828 --> 00:38:52.830
Now, get back to the party,

1029
00:38:52.872 --> 00:38:54.790
but don't stay out too late...

1030
00:38:54.832 --> 00:38:56.375
big day tomorrow.

1031
00:38:56.417 --> 00:38:58.127
And remember,

1032
00:38:58.169 --> 00:38:59.795
keep your head in the clouds...

1033
00:38:59.837 --> 00:39:02.882
And the stars in your eyes!

1034
00:39:05.176 --> 00:39:06.635
Excuse me?

1035
00:39:06.677 --> 00:39:09.138
Sorry, this, uh,
this might be a silly question,

1036
00:39:09.180 --> 00:39:10.306
but who is that guy?

1037
00:39:10.347 --> 00:39:11.724
Dr. Longford?

1038
00:39:11.766 --> 00:39:12.850
Yeah.

1039
00:39:12.892 --> 00:39:14.560
He's, um, well,
he's a lot of things.

1040
00:39:14.602 --> 00:39:16.771
He's a college professor,
author...

1041
00:39:16.812 --> 00:39:18.272
he's probably best known
for hosting

1042
00:39:18.314 --> 00:39:20.608
this really great
astronomy podcast,

1043
00:39:20.649 --> 00:39:22.610
and that's the way
he signs off every episode,

1044
00:39:22.651 --> 00:39:25.446
"Keep your head in the clouds
and-and the stars in your eyes."

1045
00:39:25.488 --> 00:39:26.697
Ah, okay!

1046
00:39:26.739 --> 00:39:29.492
He's, uh, kind of a rock star
with this crowd.

1047
00:39:29.533 --> 00:39:31.827
Yeah, he's an expert
on all things cosmic.

1048
00:39:32.870 --> 00:39:34.914
Huh.

1049
00:39:34.955 --> 00:39:37.708
"Expertise will guide you
to your heart's desire."

1050
00:39:37.750 --> 00:39:39.335
Pardon?

1051
00:39:39.376 --> 00:39:42.838
Um, sorry--
something from my horoscope.

1052
00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:44.715
I don't usually pay attention
to that kind of thing,

1053
00:39:44.757 --> 00:39:46.675
but at this point,

1054
00:39:46.717 --> 00:39:48.928
I will take all the help
the universe can give me.

1055
00:39:48.969 --> 00:39:50.096
I hear you.

1056
00:39:50.137 --> 00:39:51.430
I could use some help
from the universe

1057
00:39:51.472 --> 00:39:53.099
myself right now.

1058
00:39:53.140 --> 00:39:55.142
You know, someone really smart
once told me

1059
00:39:55.184 --> 00:39:57.436
that astrology and astronomy

1060
00:39:57.478 --> 00:39:59.563
were once
very tightly connected,

1061
00:39:59.605 --> 00:40:01.732
that you couldn't have one
without the other.

1062
00:40:01.774 --> 00:40:03.526
That's true, actually!

1063
00:40:03.567 --> 00:40:05.569
Yeah, it wasn't until the 1700s,
really, that they--

1064
00:40:05.611 --> 00:40:06.654
Oh! Uh...

1065
00:40:06.695 --> 00:40:08.155
Sorry! I just...
I have to take this.

1066
00:40:08.197 --> 00:40:09.532
Okay, bye.

1067
00:40:17.665 --> 00:40:19.375
Ooh! Guys, hey!

1068
00:40:19.416 --> 00:40:20.876
Uh, it's Mr. Whitaker.

1069
00:40:20.918 --> 00:40:22.002
What do I do?

1070
00:40:22.044 --> 00:40:23.546
-Answer it!
-Don't answer it!

1071
00:40:23.587 --> 00:40:24.755
What if he fires me?

1072
00:40:24.797 --> 00:40:27.049
He's not gonna fire you!
Just-just answer it.

1073
00:40:27.091 --> 00:40:29.844
Hi, uh, this is Kim. What's up?

1074
00:40:29.885 --> 00:40:31.512
What's going on?
Sounds like you're at a party.

1075
00:40:31.554 --> 00:40:33.848
We are, uh, but we're working!

1076
00:40:33.889 --> 00:40:35.641
We're getting
some great footage.

1077
00:40:35.683 --> 00:40:36.642
Is my nephew with you?

1078
00:40:36.684 --> 00:40:37.935
Yup, he's right here.

1079
00:40:37.977 --> 00:40:39.812
Hey, Uncle Pete.

1080
00:40:39.854 --> 00:40:41.397
I need you to hear this too.

1081
00:40:41.438 --> 00:40:42.690
Terrible job today.

1082
00:40:42.731 --> 00:40:44.859
Yes, sir. Sorry.
Um, we're so sorry about that.

1083
00:40:44.900 --> 00:40:46.110
We had a bit
of a miscommunication,

1084
00:40:46.152 --> 00:40:47.319
but we promise

1085
00:40:47.361 --> 00:40:48.737
that we will have it
all together tomorrow.

1086
00:40:48.779 --> 00:40:49.989
'Kay. You better,

1087
00:40:50.030 --> 00:40:51.323
'cause I just talked
to the network,

1088
00:40:51.365 --> 00:40:54.160
and it turns out
the St. Louis affiliate

1089
00:40:54.201 --> 00:40:56.120
didn't send a team
to Carbondale,

1090
00:40:56.162 --> 00:40:57.913
so I told them
we have a team there.

1091
00:40:57.955 --> 00:40:59.623
They decided

1092
00:40:59.665 --> 00:41:01.667
they want us to go national.

1093
00:41:01.709 --> 00:41:03.794
-National?
-And live, of course.

1094
00:41:03.836 --> 00:41:04.753
Oh.

1095
00:41:04.795 --> 00:41:06.589
And live, of course.

1096
00:41:06.630 --> 00:41:09.341
Okay, I don't want you
to change anything.

1097
00:41:09.383 --> 00:41:12.678
Just keep on reporting
exactly

1098
00:41:12.720 --> 00:41:13.888
how you planned...

1099
00:41:13.929 --> 00:41:15.347
just, you know, better.

1100
00:41:15.389 --> 00:41:16.974
Yeah, yeah, better.

1101
00:41:17.016 --> 00:41:18.809
Absolutely, yup,
we can do that.

1102
00:41:18.851 --> 00:41:20.019
This is a huge opportunity.

1103
00:41:20.060 --> 00:41:21.270
We're gonna be seen

1104
00:41:21.312 --> 00:41:24.148
by millions of people
across the country,

1105
00:41:24.190 --> 00:41:26.817
so... don't mess this up.

1106
00:41:26.859 --> 00:41:27.693
Bye, now!

1107
00:41:27.735 --> 00:41:28.652
Um...

1108
00:41:28.694 --> 00:41:31.530
Congratulations?

1109
00:41:31.572 --> 00:41:33.490
Yeah. Yeah, live?

1110
00:41:33.532 --> 00:41:34.825
Live, national.

1111
00:41:34.867 --> 00:41:36.452
It's an opportunity
of a lifetime is what it is.

1112
00:41:36.494 --> 00:41:38.120
Kim, if you nail this,

1113
00:41:38.162 --> 00:41:41.040
you'll be regular
on-camera talent for sure.

1114
00:41:41.081 --> 00:41:42.249
Yeah, but if I mess this up,

1115
00:41:42.291 --> 00:41:44.585
then I will never get
another chance,

1116
00:41:44.627 --> 00:41:47.379
not just at WGZA,
but anywhere,

1117
00:41:47.421 --> 00:41:50.549
because I will have messed up
on live national television.

1118
00:41:50.591 --> 00:41:52.176
Focus on the positive.

1119
00:41:52.218 --> 00:41:53.969
Yeah. Okay, you know what?
We need to up our game!

1120
00:41:54.011 --> 00:41:55.429
Okay, back to the hotel room.

1121
00:41:55.471 --> 00:41:57.014
Let's, uh...
we got work to do.

1122
00:41:57.056 --> 00:41:58.390
Let's go! Come on.

1123
00:41:58.432 --> 00:42:00.351
Oh! My-- oh!

1124
00:42:00.392 --> 00:42:01.936
Claire!

1125
00:42:01.977 --> 00:42:02.895
Travis!

1126
00:42:02.937 --> 00:42:03.896
Uh...

1127
00:42:03.938 --> 00:42:05.272
I've been looking for you.

1128
00:42:05.314 --> 00:42:06.649
Likewise. These, uh...

1129
00:42:06.690 --> 00:42:09.276
masks definitely upped
the degree of difficulty.

1130
00:42:09.318 --> 00:42:10.277
There you are.

1131
00:42:10.319 --> 00:42:12.655
Oh, Malcolm, meet Claire,

1132
00:42:12.696 --> 00:42:15.366
TV news camera person
extraordinaire.

1133
00:42:15.407 --> 00:42:16.242
Claire.

1134
00:42:16.283 --> 00:42:17.201
I've heard great things.

1135
00:42:17.243 --> 00:42:20.371
Well, it's nice to meet you.

1136
00:42:20.412 --> 00:42:22.289
Uh, where's your friend?

1137
00:42:22.331 --> 00:42:23.582
Kim, right?

1138
00:42:23.624 --> 00:42:26.335
She and Reed, our-our producer,

1139
00:42:26.377 --> 00:42:28.796
we just got some big news
about our report tomorrow,

1140
00:42:28.837 --> 00:42:30.381
so they went off to prepare.

1141
00:42:30.422 --> 00:42:32.841
That's great!
But also too bad.

1142
00:42:32.883 --> 00:42:34.176
She's single, right?

1143
00:42:34.218 --> 00:42:36.220
I was gonna introduce her
to my buddy Malcolm here.

1144
00:42:36.262 --> 00:42:37.972
Travis, I'm not--

1145
00:42:38.013 --> 00:42:39.974
sorry, I'm not
looking for anything, or--

1146
00:42:40.015 --> 00:42:42.685
It's okay. Kim's kind of got
a lot on her plate right now.

1147
00:42:42.726 --> 00:42:45.145
I know the feeling.

1148
00:42:45.187 --> 00:42:48.065
Well, Malcolm's
sworn off fun, but...

1149
00:42:48.107 --> 00:42:49.483
would you like to dance?

1150
00:42:49.525 --> 00:42:51.277
I would love to dance.

1151
00:42:53.028 --> 00:42:53.862
It's nice to meet you.

1152
00:42:53.904 --> 00:42:56.031

00:43:31.317 --> 00:43:33.235
Uh, Dr. Longford, I think.

1164
00:43:33.277 --> 00:43:35.237
He's really, like,
a really big deal.

1165
00:43:35.279 --> 00:43:37.489
Well, well, well.
Look who it is.

1166
00:43:37.531 --> 00:43:40.451
Say, did you, uh, did you ever
get through that standup?

1167
00:43:41.493 --> 00:43:42.703
Don't beat yourself up.

1168
00:43:42.745 --> 00:43:44.997
I mean, not everybody is cut out
to be on camera.

1169
00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:46.373
If she's not good
at what she does,

1170
00:43:46.415 --> 00:43:47.916
why was she chosen
to go national tomorrow?

1171
00:43:49.460 --> 00:43:51.295
National? You?

1172
00:43:52.588 --> 00:43:54.840
Kim, right?
-Uh-huh.

1173
00:43:54.882 --> 00:43:56.258
Look, uh...

1174
00:43:56.300 --> 00:43:58.260
Kim, I know you're
new to this, so...

1175
00:43:58.302 --> 00:44:00.179
let me give you
a little insight.

1176
00:44:00.220 --> 00:44:02.348
It's a tough business.

1177
00:44:02.389 --> 00:44:04.308
You got to be willing to do
whatever it takes.

1178
00:44:04.350 --> 00:44:06.894
I mean, do you really think

1179
00:44:06.935 --> 00:44:09.938
you're ready
for a live national report?

1180
00:44:12.316 --> 00:44:14.151
You know what?

1181
00:44:14.193 --> 00:44:16.487
I'm a single working mom...

1182
00:44:16.528 --> 00:44:18.072
and I deal with pressure
every day

1183
00:44:18.113 --> 00:44:19.740
that would flatten
a guy like you,

1184
00:44:19.782 --> 00:44:21.909
so if you think I can't handle
a live national report,

1185
00:44:21.950 --> 00:44:24.161
I just have two words for you...

1186
00:44:24.203 --> 00:44:25.579
stay tuned.

1187
00:44:26.705 --> 00:44:28.248
So, can you just--

1188
00:44:29.792 --> 00:44:31.460
You, um...

1189
00:44:31.502 --> 00:44:34.338
you might want
to work on your wrap-up.

1190
00:44:35.839 --> 00:44:38.342
You couldn't have
held the door open?

1191
00:44:42.638 --> 00:44:44.014
There's Leo,
and that's Libra,

1192
00:44:44.056 --> 00:44:45.849
and the big one in the middle,
that's Virgo.

1193
00:44:45.891 --> 00:44:48.560
Which one's Virgo?
I'm a Virgo.

1194
00:44:48.602 --> 00:44:50.771
Oh, all right. Right there.
See that really bright star?

1195
00:44:50.813 --> 00:44:52.815
It's called Spica.

1196
00:44:52.856 --> 00:44:54.149
It's actually
one of the brightest stars

1197
00:44:54.191 --> 00:44:55.984
in the entire galaxy.

1198
00:44:57.319 --> 00:44:59.154
Which makes perfect sense

1199
00:44:59.196 --> 00:45:01.073
that it's in the constellation
for your astrology sign.

1200
00:45:03.534 --> 00:45:04.910
You better stop.

1201
00:45:04.952 --> 00:45:07.037
I'm extremely susceptible
to flattery.

1202
00:45:08.622 --> 00:45:10.332
It was constellations

1203
00:45:10.374 --> 00:45:11.333
that actually made me

1204
00:45:11.375 --> 00:45:13.460
first fall in love
with the cosmos.

1205
00:45:13.502 --> 00:45:15.295
I was fascinated by the idea

1206
00:45:15.337 --> 00:45:17.589
that I was looking
at the same stars

1207
00:45:17.631 --> 00:45:19.883
that the ancient Babylonians
and Greeks

1208
00:45:19.925 --> 00:45:22.010
first identified
thousands of years ago.

1209
00:45:22.052 --> 00:45:23.554
It made me feel small,

1210
00:45:23.595 --> 00:45:26.640
but at the same time,

1211
00:45:26.682 --> 00:45:29.309
aware that I was part
of something huge.

1212
00:45:31.228 --> 00:45:34.565
The stars, they...
they connect us to the past,

1213
00:45:34.606 --> 00:45:36.733
to the future...

1214
00:45:36.775 --> 00:45:38.569
to each other.

1215
00:45:38.610 --> 00:45:41.071
When I was younger, I used--

1216
00:45:43.282 --> 00:45:44.825
I'll leave you two alone.

1217
00:45:44.867 --> 00:45:47.578
Oh! Oh, no, don't go!
It's early.

1218
00:45:47.619 --> 00:45:50.080
Yeah. Malcolm, stay, please.

1219
00:45:50.122 --> 00:45:52.750
As much as I'd like to,
I got a big day tomorrow.

1220
00:45:52.791 --> 00:45:54.334
I should go get some rest.

1221
00:45:54.376 --> 00:45:55.252
You two have a great night.

1222
00:45:55.294 --> 00:45:56.170
Oh, wait, wait!

1223
00:45:56.211 --> 00:45:58.297
Before you go, selfie time.

1224
00:45:58.338 --> 00:45:59.757
Oh, you don't want me
in your picture.

1225
00:45:59.798 --> 00:46:01.675
Oh, come on!

1226
00:46:01.717 --> 00:46:03.051
Get in here!

1227
00:46:03.093 --> 00:46:04.261
All right.

1228
00:46:04.303 --> 00:46:05.971
'Kay. Ready?

1229
00:46:06.013 --> 00:46:07.973
Everyone say "starstruck"!

1230
00:46:08.015 --> 00:46:09.600
Starstruck!

1231
00:46:11.518 --> 00:46:12.811
All right, guys,
have a good night.

1232
00:46:12.853 --> 00:46:14.354
-Good night.
-Good night, Malcolm.

1233
00:46:14.396 --> 00:46:16.190
We have another call coming in.
I'll just put you on hold.

1234
00:46:16.231 --> 00:46:18.192
-Okay, yeah, I'll hold.
-Any luck?

1235
00:46:18.233 --> 00:46:20.861
Well, I managed to track down
Dr. Longford's assistant.

1236
00:46:20.903 --> 00:46:21.945
I've got her on the phone
right now.

1237
00:46:21.987 --> 00:46:22.988
That's great.
Will he do it?

1238
00:46:23.030 --> 00:46:24.114
Okay, well, what do you want?

1239
00:46:24.156 --> 00:46:25.741
You want the bad news
or the worse news?

1240
00:46:25.782 --> 00:46:26.909
Oh, just give me--
can you say the things?

1241
00:46:26.950 --> 00:46:28.076
Okay, okay, yes.

1242
00:46:28.118 --> 00:46:29.286
The bad news is,

1243
00:46:29.328 --> 00:46:30.496
he's already booked
a pre-eclipse interview.

1244
00:46:30.537 --> 00:46:31.580
-What?
-Yeah.

1245
00:46:31.622 --> 00:46:32.831
No. With who?

1246
00:46:32.873 --> 00:46:33.999
Well, that's the worse news.

1247
00:46:34.041 --> 00:46:35.584
Remember our friend
from the elevator?

1248
00:46:35.626 --> 00:46:38.253
Steve Hartwin?

1249
00:46:38.295 --> 00:46:41.089
Oh, I can't believe he beat us.

1250
00:46:41.131 --> 00:46:43.091
That pompous, spray-tanned,
cap-toothed--

1251
00:46:43.133 --> 00:46:44.426
Well, yeah, hold on!

1252
00:46:44.468 --> 00:46:47.638
He hasn't beaten us
at anything... yet.

1253
00:46:47.679 --> 00:46:49.348
I have a plan. I'm gonna--

1254
00:46:49.389 --> 00:46:50.766
-Mr. Harris? Are you there?
-
Oh, wait, shh.

1255
00:46:50.807 --> 00:46:51.767
Uh, yeah, hold on!
-Speaker! Speaker, speaker.

1256
00:46:51.809 --> 00:46:53.435
Okay, yeah.
I'm gonna put you--

1257
00:46:53.477 --> 00:46:54.686
Hold on.
I'm gonna put you on speaker.

1258
00:46:54.728 --> 00:46:57.064
-Okay, great.
-
Um, yes, okay, hi.

1259
00:46:57.105 --> 00:46:58.982
You are here
with our star reporter,

1260
00:46:59.024 --> 00:47:00.275
Kim Gallagher.

1261
00:47:00.317 --> 00:47:02.402
Hi. Hello, hi! Yes.

1262
00:47:02.444 --> 00:47:05.697
Mr. Harris,
as I told you earlier...

1263
00:47:05.739 --> 00:47:07.241
No, I-I understand.

1264
00:47:07.282 --> 00:47:09.952
I am aware that Dr. Longford
already has an interview booked,

1265
00:47:09.993 --> 00:47:11.453
but here's the thing.

1266
00:47:11.495 --> 00:47:13.747
He's gonna want to cancel
that interview

1267
00:47:13.789 --> 00:47:14.998
and talk to Kim instead.

1268
00:47:15.040 --> 00:47:16.375
Okay, you see,

1269
00:47:16.416 --> 00:47:19.962
our network
is broadcasting our interview

1270
00:47:20.003 --> 00:47:21.505
to all affiliates

1271
00:47:21.547 --> 00:47:23.215
nationwide.

1272
00:47:23.257 --> 00:47:24.675
There will be
no larger audience

1273
00:47:24.716 --> 00:47:28.637
for that eclipse.
That I can guarantee, okay?

1274
00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:34.017
Now, I know Dr. Longford
is a very famous man, okay,

1275
00:47:34.059 --> 00:47:36.353
but let me ask you this.

1276
00:47:36.395 --> 00:47:38.313
If you have the chance

1277
00:47:38.355 --> 00:47:41.942
to possibly expand his listeners

1278
00:47:41.984 --> 00:47:43.569
by potentially millions,

1279
00:47:43.610 --> 00:47:45.737
would you at least
want to talk to him

1280
00:47:45.779 --> 00:47:48.240
before saying no?

1281
00:47:48.282 --> 00:47:50.158
Okay. I'll try

1282
00:47:50.200 --> 00:47:51.368
to get a hold of him.

1283
00:47:51.410 --> 00:47:52.995
Dr. Longford loves
to expand his universe.

1284
00:47:53.036 --> 00:47:54.454
That is great,
but don't take too long,

1285
00:47:54.496 --> 00:47:55.789
'cause we got
Neil deGrasse Tyson

1286
00:47:55.831 --> 00:47:57.040
waiting in the wings.
-What?

1287
00:47:57.082 --> 00:47:58.083
I'll call back
as soon as I can.

1288
00:48:00.085 --> 00:48:01.086
Oh, my-- That was amazing!

1289
00:48:01.128 --> 00:48:02.504
That was amazing.
That was amazing.

1290
00:48:02.546 --> 00:48:05.007
Although, uh, is it ethical,
though? Is it ethical?

1291
00:48:05.048 --> 00:48:07.342
Because
I'm no Steve Hartwin fan,

1292
00:48:07.384 --> 00:48:09.678
but he did technically
have the interview before us.

1293
00:48:09.720 --> 00:48:11.096
Didn't he say to do
whatever it takes?

1294
00:48:11.138 --> 00:48:13.432
-Yeah.
-This is whatever it takes.

1295
00:48:13.473 --> 00:48:16.852
If anything,
he brought it on himself.

1296
00:48:16.893 --> 00:48:18.687
Hey! I'm the producer.

1297
00:48:18.729 --> 00:48:19.980
You're the reporter.

1298
00:48:20.022 --> 00:48:22.357
Let me worry
about getting the interview.

1299
00:48:22.399 --> 00:48:24.943
You worry about knocking it
out of the park, okay?

1300
00:48:24.985 --> 00:48:26.069
-Yeah.
-Okay.

1301
00:48:26.111 --> 00:48:27.237
-Yeah.
-Yeah! Okay.

1302
00:48:27.279 --> 00:48:28.238
All right. Let's do this.

1303
00:48:28.280 --> 00:48:29.531
-Let's do it.
-Let's do this.

1304
00:48:29.573 --> 00:48:31.658
I left New Zealand
to try make it in Hollywood,

1305
00:48:31.700 --> 00:48:34.661
thinking I'd make
this big splash...

1306
00:48:34.703 --> 00:48:36.121
and then I ran out of money,

1307
00:48:36.163 --> 00:48:38.540
and I saw this job posting

1308
00:48:38.582 --> 00:48:39.750
for a teacher

1309
00:48:39.791 --> 00:48:41.960
at Solana Ridge Junior College
in Arizona,

1310
00:48:42.002 --> 00:48:44.630
and six years later,
there I still am.

1311
00:48:44.671 --> 00:48:46.840
This is so typical.

1312
00:48:46.882 --> 00:48:49.635
I haven't been on a good date
in, like, years,

1313
00:48:49.676 --> 00:48:51.011
and tonight,

1314
00:48:51.053 --> 00:48:54.806
I'm on what may be
the best first date

1315
00:48:54.848 --> 00:48:56.099
of my entire life,

1316
00:48:56.141 --> 00:48:57.768
and we live
nowhere near each other...

1317
00:48:57.809 --> 00:48:58.852
Stop. Stop, stop, stop!

1318
00:48:58.894 --> 00:49:00.604
The best first date
of your life?

1319
00:49:00.646 --> 00:49:02.481
Your entire life?

1320
00:49:02.522 --> 00:49:05.233
Did I just say that out loud?

1321
00:49:05.275 --> 00:49:06.943
You did.

1322
00:49:06.985 --> 00:49:08.195
Oh...

1323
00:49:08.236 --> 00:49:10.364
And I'm gonna say it too.

1324
00:49:10.405 --> 00:49:12.866
This is the best first date.

1325
00:49:12.908 --> 00:49:16.161
No, this is the best date
I have ever been on.

1326
00:49:17.245 --> 00:49:20.457
I mean... look at us.

1327
00:49:20.499 --> 00:49:22.793
We shouldn't even be here.

1328
00:49:22.834 --> 00:49:25.879
Both of us ended up coming here
at the last minute.

1329
00:49:25.921 --> 00:49:29.007
Both of us came here
to support our friends,

1330
00:49:29.049 --> 00:49:31.093
but it feels like
something wanted us to meet...

1331
00:49:31.134 --> 00:49:32.386
I don't know,

1332
00:49:32.427 --> 00:49:34.429
something bigger
than the both of us.

1333
00:49:36.974 --> 00:49:38.934
We have to find
a way to see each other

1334
00:49:38.976 --> 00:49:40.644
after tomorrow.

1335
00:49:40.686 --> 00:49:44.022
If we don't, it's like...

1336
00:49:44.064 --> 00:49:46.441
a slap in the face
to the universe.

1337
00:49:49.403 --> 00:49:50.862
Slapping the universe
in the face

1338
00:49:50.904 --> 00:49:52.447
sounds dangerous.

1339
00:49:52.489 --> 00:49:54.533
We definitely shouldn't do that.

1340
00:49:54.574 --> 00:49:57.285
So...

1341
00:49:57.327 --> 00:50:01.456
let's just worry
about tomorrow tomorrow.

1342
00:50:01.498 --> 00:50:03.792
Tonight...

1343
00:50:03.834 --> 00:50:07.421
♪ We found the world divine ♪

1344
00:50:09.589 --> 00:50:12.509
♪ Found the world divine ♪

1345
00:50:14.177 --> 00:50:17.639
♪ We found this world divine ♪

1346
00:50:21.268 --> 00:50:23.645
♪ Divine ♪

1347
00:50:25.772 --> 00:50:27.774
Samantha Johnson speaking.

1348
00:50:27.816 --> 00:50:29.609
Hi, Samantha.
It's Malcolm Brooks.

1349
00:50:29.651 --> 00:50:30.652
I called earlier.
-Yes, Dr. Brooks.

1350
00:50:30.694 --> 00:50:31.820
I remember you.

1351
00:50:31.862 --> 00:50:33.447
This is the fifth time
you've called.

1352
00:50:33.488 --> 00:50:36.199
As I told you,
Dr. Longford is very busy.

1353
00:50:36.241 --> 00:50:38.535
I promise
I've given him your message...

1354
00:50:38.577 --> 00:50:39.661
four times.

1355
00:50:39.703 --> 00:50:40.495
Did you have
anything else to add?

1356
00:50:40.537 --> 00:50:42.205
Well, no. It's just--

1357
00:50:42.247 --> 00:50:43.540
I'm very sorry,

1358
00:50:43.582 --> 00:50:45.584
but I am in the middle
of something right now.

1359
00:50:45.625 --> 00:50:47.002
Goodbye, Dr. Brooks.

1360
00:50:58.764 --> 00:50:59.890
You know,
I didn't know you were single.

1361
00:51:00.807 --> 00:51:02.517
What?

1362
00:51:04.394 --> 00:51:06.188
Uh, at the elevator,

1363
00:51:06.229 --> 00:51:07.981
when you were talking to Steve,

1364
00:51:08.023 --> 00:51:10.192
told him
that you were a single mother.

1365
00:51:10.233 --> 00:51:13.737
Well, I was-- I was raised
by a single mother.

1366
00:51:13.779 --> 00:51:15.572
Oh.

1367
00:51:16.782 --> 00:51:18.700
Well, she did a good job.

1368
00:51:18.742 --> 00:51:20.577
Well, she did her best.

1369
00:51:20.619 --> 00:51:24.081
She was working a full-time job
and raising me and my sister.

1370
00:51:24.122 --> 00:51:25.540
When I was little,

1371
00:51:25.582 --> 00:51:26.875
I used to get upset

1372
00:51:26.917 --> 00:51:29.127
that I couldn't see her
as often as I wanted to,

1373
00:51:29.169 --> 00:51:30.754
and she'd always say,

1374
00:51:30.796 --> 00:51:33.215
"Even when we're apart,
you're always in my heart,"

1375
00:51:33.256 --> 00:51:35.092
which was
a little corny, yeah...

1376
00:51:35.133 --> 00:51:37.511
No, it's not corny.
I like it!

1377
00:51:40.764 --> 00:51:42.933
Yeah, it's not easy

1378
00:51:42.974 --> 00:51:46.103
finding that balance,
being a working mom.

1379
00:51:47.813 --> 00:51:50.190
I think I'm getting there.

1380
00:51:50.232 --> 00:51:52.776
Can I ask you
a personal question?

1381
00:51:53.860 --> 00:51:56.446
Uh, yeah, sure.

1382
00:51:59.074 --> 00:52:00.534
Why'd you get divorced?

1383
00:52:02.160 --> 00:52:05.705
Um...

1384
00:52:05.747 --> 00:52:08.542
it was no one reason.

1385
00:52:09.918 --> 00:52:11.545
You know,
I think there was a time

1386
00:52:11.586 --> 00:52:15.590
when we both truly thought
we were meant for each other,

1387
00:52:15.632 --> 00:52:18.552
and then, we just...
we realized that we weren't.

1388
00:52:18.593 --> 00:52:20.887
It's just love is complicated.

1389
00:52:20.929 --> 00:52:22.514
Yeah. Well, at least
you've been in love.

1390
00:52:22.556 --> 00:52:23.890
I've never even--

1391
00:52:23.932 --> 00:52:25.934
Reed, you are so young.

1392
00:52:25.976 --> 00:52:27.477
You have your whole life
ahead of you.

1393
00:52:29.521 --> 00:52:31.523
You know, the thing about love
is that you just never know

1394
00:52:31.565 --> 00:52:33.608
when it's gonna
pop into your life.

1395
00:52:33.650 --> 00:52:37.153
Sometimes the timing
is just really crazy.

1396
00:52:37.195 --> 00:52:38.780
Like, you could be searching
and searching

1397
00:52:38.822 --> 00:52:39.823
and searching for love

1398
00:52:39.865 --> 00:52:41.199
and then
it's nowhere to be found,

1399
00:52:41.241 --> 00:52:42.284
and then,
as soon as you give up,

1400
00:52:42.325 --> 00:52:43.201
it's like, boom! there it is.

1401
00:52:44.119 --> 00:52:45.829
I mean, love is just...

1402
00:52:48.540 --> 00:52:51.293
I'm... in love!

1403
00:52:52.836 --> 00:52:54.880
You're what?

1404
00:52:54.921 --> 00:52:57.924
Okay, fine,
I'm not in love yet,

1405
00:52:57.966 --> 00:52:59.050
but I'm very much in like

1406
00:52:59.092 --> 00:53:00.218
with the potential

1407
00:53:00.260 --> 00:53:03.138
for it to grow into
something so amazing!

1408
00:53:05.599 --> 00:53:08.184
Oh, Kim, you have to go
on a double date with me

1409
00:53:08.226 --> 00:53:09.311
after the shoot.

1410
00:53:09.352 --> 00:53:10.437
Travis has a friend.

1411
00:53:10.478 --> 00:53:12.564
He's also a professor,
and he's cute.

1412
00:53:12.606 --> 00:53:14.774
Here, I'll show you. Oh...

1413
00:53:14.816 --> 00:53:16.151
Oh, yeah, super cute.

1414
00:53:16.193 --> 00:53:17.986
Shoot. Sorry.

1415
00:53:18.028 --> 00:53:19.362
I promise he's cute.

1416
00:53:19.404 --> 00:53:20.739
I believe you.
I just don't think that this--

1417
00:53:20.780 --> 00:53:22.365
Ladies, it's-it's her.

1418
00:53:22.407 --> 00:53:24.117
It's her!
-Answer it.

1419
00:53:24.159 --> 00:53:25.202
No, no, you answer it.

1420
00:53:25.243 --> 00:53:26.995
Wh-- Oh, okay. All right.

1421
00:53:28.038 --> 00:53:29.581
Ahem!

1422
00:53:29.623 --> 00:53:31.583
Hello. Uh,
Kim Gallagher speaking.

1423
00:53:31.625 --> 00:53:32.959
Hi, Ms. Gallagher,
this is Samantha speaking.

1424
00:53:33.001 --> 00:53:34.461
Uh-huh.

1425
00:53:34.502 --> 00:53:35.879
So I've discussed
with Dr. Longford,

1426
00:53:35.921 --> 00:53:37.380
and he's decided to go ahead
with the interview.

1427
00:53:37.422 --> 00:53:38.757
Uh-huh. Yes, I understand.

1428
00:53:38.798 --> 00:53:39.841
Keep an eye out for details
sent to your email.

1429
00:53:39.883 --> 00:53:42.052
I will do.
Thank you, Samantha.

1430
00:53:43.887 --> 00:53:44.888
Well?

1431
00:53:45.931 --> 00:53:47.682
We got the interview.

1432
00:53:47.724 --> 00:53:48.683
-What?
-We got the interview!

1433
00:53:48.725 --> 00:53:49.851
Yes!

1434
00:53:53.271 --> 00:53:54.231
What interview?

1435
00:53:59.611 --> 00:54:02.322
So, today is the big day.

1436
00:54:02.364 --> 00:54:03.448
Heading to the park soon?

1437
00:54:03.490 --> 00:54:05.992
Yeah, the eclipse
isn't until 2:00,

1438
00:54:06.034 --> 00:54:08.536
but Malcolm has this spot
he wants to call dibs on.

1439
00:54:08.578 --> 00:54:09.996
We're getting there early too.

1440
00:54:10.038 --> 00:54:11.873
Gotta set up
for some big interview

1441
00:54:11.915 --> 00:54:13.625
Kim and Reed managed to score.

1442
00:54:13.667 --> 00:54:14.584
Oh, by the way,

1443
00:54:14.626 --> 00:54:15.835
I don't think

1444
00:54:15.877 --> 00:54:17.629
Kim will be
up for a double date after.

1445
00:54:17.671 --> 00:54:20.465
She's, like,
laser-focused on this report.

1446
00:54:20.507 --> 00:54:22.759
She's gonna want
to head back to Chicago ASAP

1447
00:54:22.801 --> 00:54:23.969
when we wrap out.

1448
00:54:24.010 --> 00:54:25.095
That's unfortunate,

1449
00:54:25.136 --> 00:54:28.974
but honestly,
Malcolm's the same way.

1450
00:54:29.015 --> 00:54:30.642
Totally work-obsessed.

1451
00:54:30.684 --> 00:54:33.311
He's dying to meet up
with this old professor of his,

1452
00:54:33.353 --> 00:54:34.729
wants to give him his book,

1453
00:54:34.771 --> 00:54:35.855
maybe help him get published,

1454
00:54:35.897 --> 00:54:38.066
which leads to a better job.

1455
00:54:38.108 --> 00:54:40.694
You know,
typical overachiever stuff.

1456
00:54:40.735 --> 00:54:43.363
Seems like he and Kim
have a lot in common.

1457
00:54:43.405 --> 00:54:45.532
Yeah. Too bad
the stuff they have in common

1458
00:54:45.573 --> 00:54:47.993
is the same stuff
keeping them apart.

1459
00:54:50.286 --> 00:54:54.040
Well, I had
a lovely evening last night.

1460
00:54:54.082 --> 00:54:56.751
We still on
for drinks later?

1461
00:54:57.794 --> 00:54:59.796
We sure are.

1462
00:55:01.089 --> 00:55:03.758
Meredith, since your telescope
is so much nicer than mine,

1463
00:55:03.800 --> 00:55:05.260
I was thinking
maybe we could...

1464
00:55:05.302 --> 00:55:07.178
Team up? Seriously?

1465
00:55:07.220 --> 00:55:08.555
I like the idea
of working with you.

1466
00:55:08.596 --> 00:55:10.223
You remind me
of my younger self.

1467
00:55:10.265 --> 00:55:11.766
I-I do?

1468
00:55:11.808 --> 00:55:13.852
Yeah, although you're much
more outgoing than I was.

1469
00:55:13.893 --> 00:55:15.437
When I was young,
I was very shy.

1470
00:55:15.478 --> 00:55:17.647
I could never imagine
being a teacher.

1471
00:55:17.689 --> 00:55:19.024
But you're so good at it.

1472
00:55:19.065 --> 00:55:20.984
Thanks.

1473
00:55:23.695 --> 00:55:24.821
You know...

1474
00:55:24.863 --> 00:55:27.449
I kinda owe it all
to someone I met here

1475
00:55:27.490 --> 00:55:28.950
seven years ago.

1476
00:55:28.992 --> 00:55:30.076
Wow.

1477
00:55:30.118 --> 00:55:32.495
Yeah, a very special woman.

1478
00:55:32.537 --> 00:55:35.665
She's the one who put the idea
of being a teacher in my head.

1479
00:55:36.750 --> 00:55:39.794
Without her,
who knows what I'd be doing now.

1480
00:55:39.836 --> 00:55:41.588
And if you'd never been
my teacher,

1481
00:55:41.629 --> 00:55:43.006
who knows
what I'd be doing now?

1482
00:55:43.048 --> 00:55:46.509
So by the transitive property,
she changed my life too.

1483
00:55:46.551 --> 00:55:47.635
Wow.

1484
00:55:47.677 --> 00:55:49.429
Huh.

1485
00:55:49.471 --> 00:55:52.349
Ever wonder
what happened to her?

1486
00:55:52.390 --> 00:55:54.517
Sure, but...

1487
00:55:54.559 --> 00:55:56.561
for all I know,
she's happily married

1488
00:55:56.603 --> 00:56:00.732
and living in Paris
or Australia or on the moon.

1489
00:56:00.774 --> 00:56:03.485
She probably never gave me
a second thought anyway.

1490
00:56:03.526 --> 00:56:04.694
Okay.

1491
00:56:04.736 --> 00:56:06.071
What matters today

1492
00:56:06.112 --> 00:56:08.239
is that I get some great footage
of the eclipse,

1493
00:56:08.281 --> 00:56:10.283
and then I figure out
how to score five minutes

1494
00:56:10.325 --> 00:56:11.451
with Dr. Longford.

1495
00:56:11.493 --> 00:56:13.203
Mm-hmm. I bet you will,

1496
00:56:13.244 --> 00:56:15.330
because I believe
the universe always finds a way

1497
00:56:15.371 --> 00:56:16.873
to give us exactly what we need.

1498
00:56:16.915 --> 00:56:19.084
Hmm.

1499
00:56:19.125 --> 00:56:20.919
Oh! I love that shot
with the girl with the headband.

1500
00:56:20.960 --> 00:56:22.837
It-It reminds me of my daughter.

1501
00:56:22.879 --> 00:56:24.672
Yeah.

1502
00:56:24.714 --> 00:56:26.925
Okay, um...

1503
00:56:26.966 --> 00:56:29.260
I think that's it.
I think we're good.

1504
00:56:29.302 --> 00:56:30.387
Uh, "good"?

1505
00:56:30.428 --> 00:56:32.013
I-I mean, I think
we're better than good.

1506
00:56:32.055 --> 00:56:33.848
I think this is gonna make
a fantastic lead-in.

1507
00:56:33.890 --> 00:56:35.100
You know what?

1508
00:56:35.141 --> 00:56:36.101
You can probably just go ahead
and send that

1509
00:56:36.142 --> 00:56:37.644
over to the studio.

1510
00:56:37.685 --> 00:56:40.897
Oh, I forgot to mention
Samantha called me this morning,

1511
00:56:40.939 --> 00:56:43.817
told me that Dr. Longford
will be at the park at 1:30.

1512
00:56:43.858 --> 00:56:44.984
She even gave me
his cell phone number.

1513
00:56:45.026 --> 00:56:46.569
Great. Call him to confirm.

1514
00:56:46.611 --> 00:56:47.862
But his assistant already--

1515
00:56:47.904 --> 00:56:49.781
No, just-- I just want you
to hear it from him.

1516
00:56:49.823 --> 00:56:51.116
All right. Of course.

1517
00:56:51.157 --> 00:56:52.659
Look, this-this interview
is everything.

1518
00:56:52.700 --> 00:56:53.743
If we get this right...

1519
00:56:53.785 --> 00:56:55.245
-Hey! We will.
-Yeah.

1520
00:56:55.286 --> 00:56:56.496
All right?
You can count on me.

1521
00:56:56.538 --> 00:56:57.914
-Okay.
-All right?

1522
00:56:57.956 --> 00:57:00.125
All right. I need a...
I need a breath of fresh air.

1523
00:57:00.166 --> 00:57:00.959
-Yeah, okay.
-'Kay.

1524
00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:01.835
-Go ahead.
-Here I go.

1525
00:57:02.710 --> 00:57:03.586
Ooh!

1526
00:57:03.628 --> 00:57:05.547
Hey, Malcolm?

1527
00:57:05.588 --> 00:57:07.132
Oof!

1528
00:57:07.173 --> 00:57:09.134
If you're gonna check out,
can you save me a spot in line?

1529
00:57:09.175 --> 00:57:10.427
I just gotta fix this quick.

1530
00:57:10.468 --> 00:57:11.719
You got it.

1531
00:57:11.761 --> 00:57:12.512
You good with that?

1532
00:57:12.554 --> 00:57:13.680
-Yeah.
-Great.

1533
00:57:13.721 --> 00:57:14.556
You gotta move.

1534
00:57:14.597 --> 00:57:15.974
Hey, uh, Kim, we should leave.

1535
00:57:16.015 --> 00:57:17.225
Valet needs us out of here.

1536
00:57:17.267 --> 00:57:18.685
Oh, where are
we supposed to go?

1537
00:57:18.726 --> 00:57:19.811
Um, I don't... we'll just
pull... we'll pull it forward.

1538
00:57:19.853 --> 00:57:20.728
-Okay.
-It'll be okay.

1539
00:57:20.770 --> 00:57:22.689
All right.

1540
00:57:24.983 --> 00:57:26.901
Claire.

1541
00:57:26.943 --> 00:57:27.944
Heading to the park?

1542
00:57:27.986 --> 00:57:29.237
Almost, yeah.

1543
00:57:29.279 --> 00:57:31.156
Maybe we'll see you there
afterwards.

1544
00:57:31.197 --> 00:57:33.575
Hey, listen, uh...

1545
00:57:33.616 --> 00:57:34.993
I just wanna say,

1546
00:57:35.034 --> 00:57:36.578
I-I don't know
if Travis told you,

1547
00:57:36.619 --> 00:57:37.954
or if I should tell you,

1548
00:57:37.996 --> 00:57:40.248
but he went through
a pretty rough breakup recently,

1549
00:57:40.290 --> 00:57:42.625
and, uh,
for what it's worth,

1550
00:57:42.667 --> 00:57:43.835
I haven't seen him

1551
00:57:43.877 --> 00:57:47.964
this... excited,
optimistic, happy?

1552
00:57:49.299 --> 00:57:50.758
Whatever it is,
I haven't seen it in him

1553
00:57:50.800 --> 00:57:52.552
in a long time.
It means a lot.

1554
00:57:52.594 --> 00:57:54.220
It's nice
you care about him so much.

1555
00:57:54.262 --> 00:57:55.638
He cares about you too.

1556
00:58:00.518 --> 00:58:01.978
Hi!

1557
00:58:02.020 --> 00:58:04.439
You just say goodbye
to Travis?

1558
00:58:04.481 --> 00:58:06.357
Well, hopefully,

1559
00:58:06.399 --> 00:58:09.986
not "goodbye" goodbye,
just... goodbye.

1560
00:58:10.028 --> 00:58:11.654
You know,
if it's meant to be...

1561
00:58:11.696 --> 00:58:13.198
I know! I know.

1562
00:58:13.239 --> 00:58:14.949
Let's focus.
It's a big day.

1563
00:58:14.991 --> 00:58:15.992
Yeah.

1564
00:58:16.034 --> 00:58:17.619
Sure is.

1565
00:58:17.660 --> 00:58:18.870
Steve!

1566
00:58:20.747 --> 00:58:22.081
So nice to see you.

1567
00:58:22.123 --> 00:58:23.291
You know,
you're not gonna believe

1568
00:58:23.333 --> 00:58:24.918
the message
that I just got.

1569
00:58:24.959 --> 00:58:28.379
Yeah, it seems Stanley Longford
just canceled my interview.

1570
00:58:28.421 --> 00:58:31.299
Oh... that's... that's too bad.

1571
00:58:31.341 --> 00:58:32.550
You know, I know

1572
00:58:32.592 --> 00:58:34.802
that it was you
who lured him away from me.

1573
00:58:34.844 --> 00:58:36.179
Um, what can I say?

1574
00:58:36.221 --> 00:58:38.056
I have a great producer,
you know?

1575
00:58:38.097 --> 00:58:39.265
He gets things done.

1576
00:58:41.267 --> 00:58:43.394
Look. See, here's the thing.

1577
00:58:43.436 --> 00:58:44.687
You can't
just take my interview.

1578
00:58:44.729 --> 00:58:45.897
Don't worry about it,

1579
00:58:45.939 --> 00:58:47.732
'cause you can speak to him
when I'm done.

1580
00:58:47.774 --> 00:58:49.817
Yeah.

1581
00:58:49.859 --> 00:58:51.527
We'll see.

1582
00:58:55.490 --> 00:58:56.866
Satisfied?

1583
00:58:56.908 --> 00:58:58.284
Just a little bit!

1584
00:58:59.536 --> 00:59:01.204
Hi, Mom!

1585
00:59:01.246 --> 00:59:02.830
Hi, Anna.

1586
00:59:02.872 --> 00:59:04.874
We're making eclipse viewers!

1587
00:59:04.916 --> 00:59:06.459
Yeah, I can see that.

1588
00:59:06.501 --> 00:59:08.920
Hey, you be careful
out there, though, okay?

1589
00:59:08.962 --> 00:59:10.547
Don't look directly
at the eclipse.

1590
00:59:10.588 --> 00:59:12.924
Everybody knows that!

1591
00:59:12.966 --> 00:59:14.550
They do, do they?

1592
00:59:14.592 --> 00:59:16.886
Mommy,
when are you coming home?

1593
00:59:16.928 --> 00:59:18.221
I miss you.

1594
00:59:18.263 --> 00:59:20.014
I know.
I miss you too, sweetie.

1595
00:59:20.056 --> 00:59:21.182
Um, and I promise

1596
00:59:21.224 --> 00:59:23.142
that I'm gonna finish up
as soon as I can,

1597
00:59:23.184 --> 00:59:25.228
so I can get home
and tuck you in tonight, okay?

1598
00:59:25.270 --> 00:59:26.729
Hey, but you know what?

1599
00:59:26.771 --> 00:59:30.316
Even when we're apart...
you're always in my heart.

1600
00:59:30.358 --> 00:59:32.568
How you doing, Kimberly?
Are you okay?

1601
00:59:33.695 --> 00:59:35.238
Uh... why would I be nervous?

1602
00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:36.322
You know?

1603
00:59:36.364 --> 00:59:37.949
Just a few hours away
from talking

1604
00:59:37.991 --> 00:59:39.576
to millions and millions
of people,

1605
00:59:39.617 --> 00:59:40.410
coast to coast.

1606
00:59:40.451 --> 00:59:41.786
I'm not nervous. I'm...

1607
00:59:41.828 --> 00:59:43.454
terrified.

1608
00:59:43.496 --> 00:59:45.748
It's okay to be scared, Mommy.

1609
00:59:45.790 --> 00:59:47.917
You know why?

1610
00:59:47.959 --> 00:59:49.210
Why is that, sweetie?

1611
00:59:49.252 --> 00:59:50.628
Because being scared

1612
00:59:50.670 --> 00:59:52.505
gives you the chance
to be brave.

1613
00:59:52.547 --> 00:59:55.633
That is very wise.

1614
00:59:55.675 --> 00:59:56.718
I was thinking,

1615
00:59:56.759 --> 00:59:58.636
maybe we try and stay
another night.

1616
00:59:58.678 --> 01:00:00.346
Bet I could
talk Claire into it, too.

1617
01:00:00.388 --> 01:00:01.597
We have classes tomorrow.

1618
01:00:01.639 --> 01:00:02.932
We can get out of them.

1619
01:00:02.974 --> 01:00:04.767
I can't.

1620
01:00:04.809 --> 01:00:06.102
Now, come on.

1621
01:00:06.144 --> 01:00:07.687
I've gotta get serious.

1622
01:00:07.729 --> 01:00:09.272
This afternoon is my only shot
at getting to Dr. Longford.

1623
01:00:09.314 --> 01:00:11.065
- Yes, okay.
- If I can just get around

1624
01:00:11.107 --> 01:00:13.026
his assistant...
-Okay. Thank you, Dr. Longford.

1625
01:00:13.067 --> 01:00:15.111
I will see you at the park.

1626
01:00:16.321 --> 01:00:18.573
Was that...?

1627
01:00:18.614 --> 01:00:20.199
Were you talking
to Dr. Longford?

1628
01:00:20.241 --> 01:00:21.951
Uh, yeah?

1629
01:00:21.993 --> 01:00:23.369
Dr. Stanley Longford?

1630
01:00:23.411 --> 01:00:25.872
The coolest astronomer
of all time?

1631
01:00:25.913 --> 01:00:27.248
Okay, well,
that's not for me to judge.

1632
01:00:27.290 --> 01:00:28.875
I don't even know what
makes an astronomer cool.

1633
01:00:28.916 --> 01:00:30.251
He's meeting you at the park?

1634
01:00:30.293 --> 01:00:31.753
Uh, yeah.

1635
01:00:31.794 --> 01:00:33.296
Yeah, we're doing
this live interview.

1636
01:00:33.338 --> 01:00:35.506
I'm with WGZA.
-WGZA?

1637
01:00:35.548 --> 01:00:37.425
You must work with Claire.

1638
01:00:37.467 --> 01:00:38.635
You know Claire?

1639
01:00:38.676 --> 01:00:40.011
Uh, we met yesterday.

1640
01:00:40.053 --> 01:00:41.387
It's, uh, been a--

1641
01:00:41.429 --> 01:00:42.430
Oh! Oh!

1642
01:00:42.472 --> 01:00:44.307
You're the guy
she kissed last night!

1643
01:00:44.349 --> 01:00:45.683
You and Claire kissed?

1644
01:00:45.725 --> 01:00:47.894
Yeah! It was awesome.

1645
01:00:47.935 --> 01:00:49.312
-That's great!
-What's great?

1646
01:00:49.354 --> 01:00:51.272
Travis and Claire kissed!

1647
01:00:51.314 --> 01:00:52.440
That is great.

1648
01:00:52.482 --> 01:00:54.400
Who's Claire?

1649
01:00:54.442 --> 01:00:56.778
She's...
never mind right now.

1650
01:00:56.819 --> 01:00:57.904
This guy--
sorry, I didn't get your name.

1651
01:00:57.945 --> 01:00:59.072
It's Reed.

1652
01:00:59.113 --> 01:01:00.948
Reed works
at a news station in Chicago,

1653
01:01:00.990 --> 01:01:02.867
and they're interviewing
Dr. Longford today.

1654
01:01:02.909 --> 01:01:04.035
No way.

1655
01:01:04.077 --> 01:01:05.244
You've gotta introduce us!

1656
01:01:05.286 --> 01:01:07.497
I'm-I'm sorry,
I-I don't know who you guys are.

1657
01:01:07.538 --> 01:01:09.624
Claire will vouch for us.

1658
01:01:09.666 --> 01:01:11.668
You just said you don't
even know who Claire is!

1659
01:01:11.709 --> 01:01:12.627
She'll vouch for Travis and I.

1660
01:01:12.668 --> 01:01:13.670
Who are you?

1661
01:01:13.711 --> 01:01:14.754
This is starting to feel

1662
01:01:14.796 --> 01:01:16.047
like an Abbott and Costello
routine.

1663
01:01:16.089 --> 01:01:17.840
-Abbott and what?
-Who?

1664
01:01:17.882 --> 01:01:19.634
Look. We really need your help.

1665
01:01:19.675 --> 01:01:21.552
It's very important
I talk to Dr. Longford today.

1666
01:01:21.594 --> 01:01:22.929
Okay. For Claire,

1667
01:01:22.970 --> 01:01:25.056
I'll see what I can do, but...

1668
01:01:25.098 --> 01:01:26.933
no promises, okay?

1669
01:01:27.809 --> 01:01:28.893
See?

1670
01:01:28.935 --> 01:01:30.061
I told you,

1671
01:01:30.103 --> 01:01:32.188
the universe
always finds a way.

1672
01:01:39.404 --> 01:01:43.991
♪ I want to find some way
to be your peace of mind ♪

1673
01:01:47.453 --> 01:01:48.996
I wonder if
Dr. Longford is here yet.

1674
01:01:49.038 --> 01:01:51.124
The eclipse footage
is still the priority,

1675
01:01:51.165 --> 01:01:53.418
and this hill's
the best place to get it.

1676
01:01:53.459 --> 01:01:56.254
Hey, Travis? Go find Claire.

1677
01:01:56.295 --> 01:01:57.255
What?

1678
01:01:57.296 --> 01:01:59.298
No, the whole reason
I came here

1679
01:01:59.340 --> 01:02:00.842
is to help you out.
I-I can't just--

1680
01:02:00.883 --> 01:02:02.093
I've got Meredith
here to help me.

1681
01:02:02.135 --> 01:02:03.678
She's an expert in this stuff,

1682
01:02:03.719 --> 01:02:05.388
and, no offense, but you have
no idea what I'm talking about

1683
01:02:05.430 --> 01:02:06.472
half the time.

1684
01:02:06.514 --> 01:02:07.515
Are you sure, though?

1685
01:02:07.557 --> 01:02:09.308
I don't wanna ditch
my best friend.

1686
01:02:09.350 --> 01:02:10.643
You're not ditching me,

1687
01:02:10.685 --> 01:02:11.894
and what kind of friend
would I be

1688
01:02:11.936 --> 01:02:13.479
if I kept you
from the woman of your dreams?

1689
01:02:14.897 --> 01:02:16.315
Thanks, man!

1690
01:02:21.821 --> 01:02:23.614
Oh, and if you see
Dr. Longford,

1691
01:02:23.656 --> 01:02:24.866
make sure
to bring him our way...

1692
01:02:24.907 --> 01:02:27.243
kicking and screaming
if you have to.

1693
01:02:27.285 --> 01:02:29.120
Will do.

1694
01:02:29.162 --> 01:02:34.292
♪ I said to you
"We will be fine" ♪

1695
01:02:37.003 --> 01:02:39.005
Just look at this crowd!

1696
01:02:39.046 --> 01:02:41.215
Eclipse chasers
from across the country

1697
01:02:41.257 --> 01:02:42.842
have turned out in full force

1698
01:02:42.884 --> 01:02:45.803
to celebrate
today's cosmic event.

1699
01:02:45.845 --> 01:02:47.180
I'm Kim Gallagher

1700
01:02:47.221 --> 01:02:49.682
reporting live
from Carbondale, Illinois,

1701
01:02:49.724 --> 01:02:50.975
which is about to see

1702
01:02:51.017 --> 01:02:54.687
its second total solar eclipse
in seven years.

1703
01:02:54.729 --> 01:02:56.481
Now, we're just
under 30 minutes away

1704
01:02:56.522 --> 01:02:57.982
from the start
of the main event,

1705
01:02:58.024 --> 01:02:59.275
but before we get to that,

1706
01:02:59.317 --> 01:03:00.693
I'm gonna be sitting down

1707
01:03:00.735 --> 01:03:02.737
with popular podcaster
and astronomer

1708
01:03:02.778 --> 01:03:05.031
Dr. Stanley Longford,

1709
01:03:05.072 --> 01:03:06.949
and you do not
wanna miss a minute,

1710
01:03:06.991 --> 01:03:08.451
so stay tuned.

1711
01:03:08.493 --> 01:03:09.869
We're clear!

1712
01:03:11.829 --> 01:03:12.872
Was that okay?

1713
01:03:12.914 --> 01:03:15.124
"Okay"? You were fantastic!

1714
01:03:15.166 --> 01:03:16.876
The kid speaks the truth.

1715
01:03:16.918 --> 01:03:18.461
No, it was amazing!

1716
01:03:18.503 --> 01:03:21.047
Confident, just no fear.

1717
01:03:21.088 --> 01:03:23.007
A lot of fear, actually,

1718
01:03:23.049 --> 01:03:24.467
but, you know,
when you're scared,

1719
01:03:24.509 --> 01:03:26.719
it gives you a chance
to be brave, right?

1720
01:03:26.761 --> 01:03:29.847
Seriously, Kim, you nailed it!

1721
01:03:29.889 --> 01:03:31.307
Let's not get too excited.

1722
01:03:31.349 --> 01:03:33.267
You know,
that was just the local set-up.

1723
01:03:33.309 --> 01:03:35.102
You know, we don't go national
until the interview.

1724
01:03:35.144 --> 01:03:37.355
Speaking of which,
is Dr. Longford here yet?

1725
01:03:37.396 --> 01:03:38.940
How about I give him a call?

1726
01:03:38.981 --> 01:03:40.066
-Okay.
-Claire, could you take this?

1727
01:03:40.107 --> 01:03:41.025
Thanks.

1728
01:04:01.671 --> 01:04:03.965
Hey, everything okay?

1729
01:04:04.006 --> 01:04:05.716
Yeah.

1730
01:04:05.758 --> 01:04:07.718
I just--

1731
01:04:07.760 --> 01:04:10.972
Déjà vu, I guess. I think.

1732
01:04:11.013 --> 01:04:12.723
I don't know.

1733
01:04:12.765 --> 01:04:15.101
The last time I was here,
seven years ago,

1734
01:04:15.142 --> 01:04:20.022
I was all... just primed
to set the world on fire.

1735
01:04:20.064 --> 01:04:22.692
Things just didn't work out
quite that way.

1736
01:04:22.733 --> 01:04:24.819
Things hardly ever
work out

1737
01:04:24.860 --> 01:04:27.280
the way we think they will...

1738
01:04:27.321 --> 01:04:30.032
but they do work out...

1739
01:04:30.074 --> 01:04:31.742
sometimes for the better.

1740
01:04:33.578 --> 01:04:36.247
Yeah. Thanks, Claire.

1741
01:04:37.164 --> 01:04:38.457
Now, focus!

1742
01:04:38.499 --> 01:04:40.042
You're an on-camera
reporter now,

1743
01:04:40.084 --> 01:04:41.627
and you've got
a live national interview

1744
01:04:41.669 --> 01:04:43.045
to get ready for, right?

1745
01:04:43.087 --> 01:04:44.589
That is right!

1746
01:04:44.630 --> 01:04:46.382
You know what? I can do this.

1747
01:04:46.424 --> 01:04:47.675
My mom was right!

1748
01:04:47.717 --> 01:04:49.635
The stars have aligned for me,

1749
01:04:49.677 --> 01:04:52.305
and everything
is gonna be perfect!

1750
01:04:52.346 --> 01:04:54.015
Guys, we've got a huge problem.

1751
01:04:54.056 --> 01:04:55.016
What?

1752
01:04:55.057 --> 01:04:56.225
And, there, everything's set.

1753
01:04:56.267 --> 01:04:58.060
Perfect.

1754
01:04:58.102 --> 01:05:00.688
Now, if I can just connect
with Dr. Longford,

1755
01:05:00.730 --> 01:05:02.940
we can call this day a success.

1756
01:05:02.982 --> 01:05:04.317
You'll get to him.

1757
01:05:04.358 --> 01:05:05.943
That cute TV news guy
will pull through.

1758
01:05:05.985 --> 01:05:07.236
Cute, huh?

1759
01:05:07.278 --> 01:05:08.571
Don't change the subject.

1760
01:05:08.613 --> 01:05:11.407
I promise, everything's
going to work out.

1761
01:05:11.449 --> 01:05:13.200
Can't you feel it, Malcolm?

1762
01:05:13.242 --> 01:05:15.661
The stars are aligning
all over the place.

1763
01:05:18.456 --> 01:05:20.541
Dr. Longford,
he's not picking up. Okay?

1764
01:05:20.583 --> 01:05:21.876
And I-I can't reach
his assistant either!

1765
01:05:21.918 --> 01:05:23.753
He should be here by now.
-You can't be serious.

1766
01:05:23.794 --> 01:05:26.005
The whole thing is built
around this interview!

1767
01:05:26.047 --> 01:05:27.506
What are we supposed to do
if he doesn't show?

1768
01:05:27.548 --> 01:05:29.050
-I don't know. I-I guess we--
-I'm right here.

1769
01:05:30.134 --> 01:05:31.510
Terribly sorry.

1770
01:05:31.552 --> 01:05:33.596
We tried to call, but, uh...

1771
01:05:33.638 --> 01:05:35.264
reception is spotty here.

1772
01:05:35.306 --> 01:05:37.183
Forgive me
for being a few minutes late,

1773
01:05:37.224 --> 01:05:40.895
but I just had
to get myself a lunar cake. Mm!

1774
01:05:40.936 --> 01:05:42.146
Delicious!

1775
01:05:42.188 --> 01:05:44.440
Dr. Longford,
I'm Kim Gallagher.

1776
01:05:44.482 --> 01:05:46.651
Ya had us worried there
for a second,

1777
01:05:46.692 --> 01:05:47.985
but it's so nice to meet you.

1778
01:05:48.027 --> 01:05:50.154
Ma'am, lovely
to meet you as well.

1779
01:05:50.196 --> 01:05:51.697
I understand
this is going out nationally,

1780
01:05:51.739 --> 01:05:53.866
is that correct?
-Uh, yeah, that's right.

1781
01:05:56.160 --> 01:05:57.578
Um...?

1782
01:05:57.620 --> 01:05:59.372
I'll need you to, uh,
hit these talking points

1783
01:05:59.413 --> 01:06:01.374
to set me up

1784
01:06:01.415 --> 01:06:04.794
to promote my live podcast
after the eclipse.

1785
01:06:04.835 --> 01:06:06.671
That's the reason why I, uh,

1786
01:06:06.712 --> 01:06:09.256
agreed to cancel
my previous engagement.

1787
01:06:09.298 --> 01:06:10.675
Yeah, of course!
Yeah, we totally--

1788
01:06:10.716 --> 01:06:12.134
We can handle this.

1789
01:06:12.176 --> 01:06:15.429
Um, if we could just...
look over the questions, and--

1790
01:06:15.471 --> 01:06:18.224
I'm sorry,
I don't do pre-interviews.

1791
01:06:18.265 --> 01:06:20.434
It ruins the spontaneity.

1792
01:06:20.476 --> 01:06:21.936
Did you not tell her?

1793
01:06:21.978 --> 01:06:24.897
Dr. Longford
doesn't do pre-interviews.

1794
01:06:24.939 --> 01:06:26.565
Ruins the spontaneity.]

1795
01:06:26.607 --> 01:06:28.150
Good to know. Thank you.

1796
01:06:28.192 --> 01:06:29.193
Don't worry.

1797
01:06:29.235 --> 01:06:32.238
I've been doing this
a long time.

1798
01:06:32.279 --> 01:06:35.116
Together, you and I
shall shine brighter

1799
01:06:35.157 --> 01:06:36.200
than a supernova.

1800
01:06:36.242 --> 01:06:38.536
Great. Right. Supernova time.

1801
01:06:38.577 --> 01:06:40.204
If we could
just get set up for the shot?

1802
01:06:40.246 --> 01:06:41.414
-Of course, of course.
-Let's, uh--

1803
01:06:41.455 --> 01:06:43.374
I just need
to use the facilities...

1804
01:06:43.416 --> 01:06:44.417
-Oh.
-...first.

1805
01:06:44.458 --> 01:06:46.001
Uh, do we have time for that?

1806
01:06:46.043 --> 01:06:48.003
We're live in 15 minutes.

1807
01:06:48.045 --> 01:06:50.506
15 minutes. I--
Can you wait?

1808
01:06:50.548 --> 01:06:52.174
I'd be happier if I...

1809
01:06:52.216 --> 01:06:55.344
take some of the pressure off,
so to speak.

1810
01:06:55.386 --> 01:06:57.012
Don't worry!

1811
01:06:57.054 --> 01:06:58.848
Back in a jiffy!
-Okay.

1812
01:07:00.182 --> 01:07:02.935
Great, great.

1813
01:07:02.977 --> 01:07:04.854
Okay, it's gonna be great!
Let's go set up, guys.

1814
01:07:04.895 --> 01:07:05.896
-Okay, let's go get set up.
-Let's set up.

1815
01:07:08.065 --> 01:07:10.609
Excuse me? Um...

1816
01:07:15.197 --> 01:07:16.741
Dr. Longford!

1817
01:07:16.782 --> 01:07:19.493
Steve Hartwin.
KCYD in St. Louis?

1818
01:07:19.535 --> 01:07:21.996
Ah, yes, Mr. Hartman.

1819
01:07:22.038 --> 01:07:24.582
Apologies for canceling on you,

1820
01:07:24.623 --> 01:07:28.252
but I just had to go with
the, uh, national broadcast.

1821
01:07:28.294 --> 01:07:29.378
I'm sure you understand.

1822
01:07:29.420 --> 01:07:30.671
-Of course.
-Yeah.

1823
01:07:30.713 --> 01:07:32.882
We have to do what's best
for ourselves, right?

1824
01:07:32.923 --> 01:07:34.550
That's very gracious of you.

1825
01:07:34.592 --> 01:07:36.385
Now, if you'll excuse me,

1826
01:07:36.427 --> 01:07:39.013
I just really
have to use the restroom!

1827
01:07:39.054 --> 01:07:40.931
Uh, Doc, I think
you got yourself turned around.

1828
01:07:40.973 --> 01:07:43.267
Yeah, the restrooms
are all the way over there.

1829
01:07:45.102 --> 01:07:47.188
Thank you, Mr. Hartman.

1830
01:07:47.229 --> 01:07:48.856
My pleasure.

1831
01:07:55.863 --> 01:07:57.281
There's-- Is there a single--
a single bar?

1832
01:07:57.323 --> 01:07:58.699
-Call failed again.
-What?

1833
01:07:58.741 --> 01:08:00.284
It's all the news trucks.
They're hogging the signal!

1834
01:08:00.326 --> 01:08:01.327
This isn't happening.

1835
01:08:01.368 --> 01:08:02.703
-Claire!
-This isn't happening.

1836
01:08:02.745 --> 01:08:04.872
Hey! There you are.

1837
01:08:04.914 --> 01:08:07.541
Uh, hi, Travis.
Not now. Crisis.

1838
01:08:07.583 --> 01:08:09.210
Uh, what's going on?

1839
01:08:09.251 --> 01:08:10.961
Oh, nothing. Just, you know,
the end of my career--

1840
01:08:11.003 --> 01:08:12.463
that's all.

1841
01:08:12.505 --> 01:08:13.881
We lost Dr. Longford.

1842
01:08:13.923 --> 01:08:15.591
He went to use the restroom
and never came back.

1843
01:08:15.633 --> 01:08:17.009
Oh, he didn't--

1844
01:08:17.051 --> 01:08:18.469
it wasn't the meteor dogs,
was it?

1845
01:08:18.511 --> 01:08:19.970
'Cause I've had three of them.

1846
01:08:20.012 --> 01:08:21.388
-Oh...
-Oh! I got him!

1847
01:08:21.430 --> 01:08:23.099
-I got him!
-Oh, hi, hi, hi, Dr. Longford.

1848
01:08:23.140 --> 01:08:25.100
Dr. Longford, it's Kim!
-Fantastic.

1849
01:08:25.142 --> 01:08:27.061
Hi. Uh, wh-where are you?

1850
01:08:27.103 --> 01:08:29.563
Ms. Gallagher, thank goodness!

1851
01:08:29.605 --> 01:08:33.109
I-I-I-I... I think
I-I might have got, uh,

1852
01:08:33.150 --> 01:08:34.443
turned around somehow.

1853
01:08:34.485 --> 01:08:36.362
Um... if you could send

1854
01:08:36.403 --> 01:08:38.572
someone to, uh, collect me,

1855
01:08:38.614 --> 01:08:40.115
I'm at the, um--

1856
01:08:40.157 --> 01:08:41.700
-We lost him!
-You're at the--?

1857
01:08:41.742 --> 01:08:42.952
Three minutes till we're live!

1858
01:08:42.993 --> 01:08:44.370
I'm coming for you,
Dr. Longford!

1859
01:08:44.411 --> 01:08:47.248
Oh, my god. Oh, my god!

1860
01:08:47.289 --> 01:08:48.666
We... we-we could--

1861
01:08:48.707 --> 01:08:50.084
We could still
pull this off, right?

1862
01:08:50.126 --> 01:08:51.293
How? How, how?

1863
01:08:51.335 --> 01:08:53.170
I am about to go live
to the entire nation

1864
01:08:53.212 --> 01:08:54.547
with no one to talk to
and nothing to talk about.

1865
01:08:54.588 --> 01:08:56.966
No, no.
I'm not gonna let us fail, okay?

1866
01:08:57.007 --> 01:08:58.092
No, I'm the producer!

1867
01:08:58.134 --> 01:08:59.802
I'm-I'm gonna produce
a solution, okay?

1868
01:08:59.844 --> 01:09:00.719
Just give me a second!

1869
01:09:00.761 --> 01:09:02.596
He's gonna produce a solution.

1870
01:09:03.722 --> 01:09:05.266
You know,
Malcolm was really hoping

1871
01:09:05.307 --> 01:09:06.642
to talk
to that Longford guy too.

1872
01:09:06.684 --> 01:09:08.227
Hey, that's it!

1873
01:09:08.269 --> 01:09:09.520
Your friend, he's some sort of
hot-shot astronomy professor,

1874
01:09:09.562 --> 01:09:10.604
right?

1875
01:09:10.646 --> 01:09:12.815
Uh, well,
he's an astronomy professor.

1876
01:09:12.857 --> 01:09:14.692
Don't know if
I would call him a hotshot.

1877
01:09:14.733 --> 01:09:15.818
Yeah, yeah, close enough.

1878
01:09:15.860 --> 01:09:17.361
Where is he?

1879
01:09:17.403 --> 01:09:18.279
Right up there.

1880
01:09:18.320 --> 01:09:19.321
Right up there?

1881
01:09:21.365 --> 01:09:24.118
Okay, you two bring
everything we need up that hill,

1882
01:09:24.159 --> 01:09:25.744
make sure the signal
can still reach our antenna,

1883
01:09:25.786 --> 01:09:28.622
and... we'll be
right behind you, okay?

1884
01:09:30.499 --> 01:09:32.376
I thought you said
he was incompetent.

1885
01:09:32.418 --> 01:09:34.753
He's had
a transformative 24 hours.

1886
01:09:36.046 --> 01:09:37.256
Keep up, Travis!

1887
01:09:37.298 --> 01:09:38.465
I'm coming!

1888
01:09:40.050 --> 01:09:41.343
All right.

1889
01:09:41.385 --> 01:09:42.344
Okay, Kim.

1890
01:09:42.386 --> 01:09:43.679
-Uh-huh? Yeah?
-Listen to me.

1891
01:09:43.721 --> 01:09:45.848
We're gonna have to salvage
the whole interview.

1892
01:09:45.890 --> 01:09:47.641
All my questions
are specific to Dr. Longford

1893
01:09:47.683 --> 01:09:49.185
and his podcast!

1894
01:09:49.226 --> 01:09:50.603
That's okay! You'll just have
to make them up on the fly!

1895
01:09:50.644 --> 01:09:51.645
You're good at that, you're good
at thinking on your feet!

1896
01:09:51.687 --> 01:09:53.856
Live on national TV?
No, I can't.

1897
01:09:53.898 --> 01:09:54.857
Yes, you can!

1898
01:09:54.899 --> 01:09:56.525
Listen to me.
-Oh...

1899
01:09:56.567 --> 01:09:57.776
It's just like you said,

1900
01:09:57.818 --> 01:09:59.778
everything, everyone
who expects us to fail,

1901
01:09:59.820 --> 01:10:01.488
we have to prove them wrong!

1902
01:10:01.530 --> 01:10:03.699
Okay?
-Okay.

1903
01:10:03.741 --> 01:10:05.409
Especially us.

1904
01:10:05.451 --> 01:10:07.494
Now, I'm not
gonna let you down,

1905
01:10:07.536 --> 01:10:08.579
and you're not
gonna let me down!

1906
01:10:08.621 --> 01:10:09.538
-No. No.
-Okay?

1907
01:10:09.580 --> 01:10:12.374
We can do this! Yeah?

1908
01:10:12.416 --> 01:10:14.460
Yeah! Then let's do this.

1909
01:10:14.501 --> 01:10:16.253
-Yes, let's do this!
-Yeah.

1910
01:10:16.295 --> 01:10:17.421
Okay, we got 90 seconds
till they throw it to us.

1911
01:10:17.463 --> 01:10:19.924
-90 seconds?
-Let's go. Let's go.

1912
01:10:19.965 --> 01:10:21.634
- Right over here.
- What's going on?

1913
01:10:21.675 --> 01:10:23.844
Oh, what's going on

1914
01:10:23.886 --> 01:10:25.554
is you're about
to be interviewed on live TV!

1915
01:10:25.596 --> 01:10:26.931
I'm what?

1916
01:10:26.972 --> 01:10:27.932
Nationwide!

1917
01:10:27.973 --> 01:10:29.725
Sorry! Live TV, nationwide.

1918
01:10:29.767 --> 01:10:31.810
Don't worry!

1919
01:10:31.852 --> 01:10:33.771
You're just gonna be
talking about eclipses.

1920
01:10:33.812 --> 01:10:35.773
You love eclipses.

1921
01:10:35.814 --> 01:10:38.359
Wait a second! I don't wanna
be interviewed live on TV.

1922
01:10:38.400 --> 01:10:40.027
It's too much pressure.
I'm not--

1923
01:10:40.069 --> 01:10:41.779
I'm not cut out for this.
-No choice.

1924
01:10:41.820 --> 01:10:43.322
You gotta
save the day here, buddy.

1925
01:10:43.364 --> 01:10:45.908
But, I'm-I'm not--
I mean, I can't do that, Travis.

1926
01:10:45.950 --> 01:10:47.284
You totally can.

1927
01:10:47.326 --> 01:10:49.912
Dr. Brooks, Malcolm...

1928
01:10:49.954 --> 01:10:51.956
you were my favorite professor
for a reason.

1929
01:10:51.997 --> 01:10:54.667
You make astronomy fun
and relatable.

1930
01:10:54.708 --> 01:10:56.001
Just pretend
you're teaching class.

1931
01:10:56.043 --> 01:10:58.170
Okay. Yeah, okay.
Just like I'm in class.

1932
01:10:58.212 --> 01:11:00.381
Yeah, right. I can do this.

1933
01:11:00.422 --> 01:11:02.508
Okay, yeah.
-Good, 'cause you're on in 30!

1934
01:11:02.549 --> 01:11:04.843
Just like in class...

1935
01:11:04.885 --> 01:11:06.261
except instead
of 20 students watching,

1936
01:11:06.303 --> 01:11:07.262
it's millions of people.

1937
01:11:07.304 --> 01:11:08.931
No pressure.

1938
01:11:08.973 --> 01:11:10.766
Uh, notes.
Do you have-- okay.

1939
01:11:10.808 --> 01:11:12.768
Yes, thank you.

1940
01:11:12.810 --> 01:11:14.603
Okay, what can I use?

1941
01:11:18.691 --> 01:11:20.818
Hey. Are you good?

1942
01:11:20.859 --> 01:11:22.236
Yeah! Yeah, I'm good.

1943
01:11:22.278 --> 01:11:23.862
You got this, okay?

1944
01:11:23.904 --> 01:11:25.489
-I got it. I got it.
-You got this.

1945
01:11:25.531 --> 01:11:26.824
Do you have a high-def camera?

1946
01:11:26.865 --> 01:11:29.451
-Uh, yeah, right here.
-Okay, great.

1947
01:11:29.493 --> 01:11:32.287
If we could
link that feed to our antenna,

1948
01:11:32.329 --> 01:11:33.998
we'll have a perfect footage
of the eclipse.

1949
01:11:34.039 --> 01:11:36.166
Um, is that--
Is that okay? Can I do that?

1950
01:11:36.208 --> 01:11:37.626
-Why not?
-Okay!

1951
01:11:37.668 --> 01:11:39.253
This is getting so exciting
all of a sudden.

1952
01:11:39.295 --> 01:11:40.254
Yeah.

1953
01:11:40.296 --> 01:11:41.922
Um, hey, Claire,

1954
01:11:41.964 --> 01:11:44.174
um, could you link
this feed into our antenna?

1955
01:11:44.216 --> 01:11:46.510
Kinda busy at the moment, Reed!

1956
01:11:46.552 --> 01:11:47.886
I know how! I can do that!

1957
01:11:47.928 --> 01:11:50.264
Then do it!

1958
01:11:50.305 --> 01:11:51.807
This is your moment.

1959
01:11:51.849 --> 01:11:53.934
I know this is all
super chaotic, but--

1960
01:11:53.976 --> 01:11:55.477
...but for everything
that feels crazy

1961
01:11:55.519 --> 01:11:57.688
and chaotic and random
about the universe,

1962
01:11:57.730 --> 01:11:59.815
there's something else
that seems--

1963
01:11:59.857 --> 01:12:00.733
All right,
you guys, we gotta go.

1964
01:12:00.774 --> 01:12:02.109
We gotta go! We gotta go.

1965
01:12:04.945 --> 01:12:07.573
...perfectly designed.

1966
01:12:10.993 --> 01:12:12.953
Perfectly designed.

1967
01:12:17.708 --> 01:12:19.043
Hi, everyone.

1968
01:12:19.084 --> 01:12:20.210
It's Kim Gallagher,

1969
01:12:20.252 --> 01:12:23.130
broadcasting live
from Carbondale, Illinois,

1970
01:12:23.172 --> 01:12:25.632
right in the path of totality
for today's eclipse,

1971
01:12:25.674 --> 01:12:28.177
which will begin
in just about five minutes.

1972
01:12:28.218 --> 01:12:29.928
In the meantime,

1973
01:12:29.970 --> 01:12:31.889
we have a great interview
lined up for you.

1974
01:12:31.930 --> 01:12:34.391
Unfortunately, Dr. Longford
couldn't be with us,

1975
01:12:34.433 --> 01:12:37.311
but we have another fantastic
professor of astronomy

1976
01:12:37.353 --> 01:12:39.313
who's here to help us understand

1977
01:12:39.354 --> 01:12:40.731
what's going on
in the skies today.

1978
01:12:40.773 --> 01:12:43.067
So, why don't you
tell the folks at home

1979
01:12:43.108 --> 01:12:45.152
your name, Doctor--

1980
01:12:46.695 --> 01:12:48.280
Uh...

1981
01:12:48.322 --> 01:12:50.699
uh, Brooks, Malcolm Brooks.

1982
01:12:51.742 --> 01:12:53.243
Hi.

1983
01:12:53.285 --> 01:12:56.205
I'm Kim.
It's nice to meet you.

1984
01:12:56.246 --> 01:12:58.332
Nice to meet you too, Kim.

1985
01:13:00.542 --> 01:13:03.921
So, Dr. Brooks--
uh, can I call you Malcolm?

1986
01:13:03.962 --> 01:13:05.839
-Malcolm, please.
-Malcolm, okay. Hi.

1987
01:13:05.881 --> 01:13:06.924
Sorry!

1988
01:13:06.965 --> 01:13:08.258
So, Malcolm, um...

1989
01:13:08.300 --> 01:13:10.636
how long have you been
teaching astronomy?

1990
01:13:10.677 --> 01:13:12.346
Uh, about five years now.

1991
01:13:12.387 --> 01:13:15.557
I finished my PhD
in Applied Physics at SIU

1992
01:13:15.599 --> 01:13:16.725
right here in Carbondale,

1993
01:13:16.767 --> 01:13:18.519
and got hired as a professor

1994
01:13:18.560 --> 01:13:21.939
at, uh, Solana Ridge
Junior College in Arizona.

1995
01:13:21.980 --> 01:13:23.107
Arizona?

1996
01:13:23.148 --> 01:13:26.652
That's a long way
from, uh, Carbondale.

1997
01:13:26.693 --> 01:13:28.237
It is, but...

1998
01:13:28.278 --> 01:13:31.198
I would've traveled any distance
for an opportunity like this.

1999
01:13:32.241 --> 01:13:34.284
An opportunity

2000
01:13:34.326 --> 01:13:35.911
to see a total eclipse,
of course.

2001
01:13:35.953 --> 01:13:36.912
-Of course.
-Of course.

2002
01:13:36.954 --> 01:13:38.038
Is Mommy okay?

2003
01:13:38.080 --> 01:13:39.706
She looks funny.

2004
01:13:39.748 --> 01:13:43.627
Oh, I think
Mommy is better than okay.

2005
01:13:43.669 --> 01:13:47.214
It's like I told her...
the stars have aligned.

2006
01:13:47.256 --> 01:13:49.174
So, did you travel here
with your wife?

2007
01:13:49.216 --> 01:13:50.426
-Oh, no.
-No?

2008
01:13:50.467 --> 01:13:51.885
No, no. I'm not married.

2009
01:13:51.927 --> 01:13:55.764
No, I've still yet
to find my... my-my perfect fit.

2010
01:13:55.806 --> 01:13:57.224
No, I totally understand.

2011
01:13:57.266 --> 01:13:59.059
You know, as a single,

2012
01:13:59.101 --> 01:14:00.519
completely unattached
person myself,

2013
01:14:00.561 --> 01:14:02.563
I know how hard
it can be to find that...

2014
01:14:02.604 --> 01:14:04.106
perfect fit.
-That's true.

2015
01:14:04.148 --> 01:14:05.399
It can be tough,

2016
01:14:05.440 --> 01:14:07.317
but the important thing
is to never lose hope.

2017
01:14:07.359 --> 01:14:11.196
Finding the perfect fit
can take patience.

2018
01:14:11.238 --> 01:14:13.615
Sometimes it can take
a lot of patience.

2019
01:14:15.826 --> 01:14:18.078
Speaking of perfect fits...

2020
01:14:18.120 --> 01:14:19.955
can you explain
to the folks at home

2021
01:14:19.997 --> 01:14:21.248
why, on a day like today,

2022
01:14:21.290 --> 01:14:22.708
the sun and the moon
match up so well?

2023
01:14:22.749 --> 01:14:24.126
Yes!

2024
01:14:24.168 --> 01:14:27.629
You see, the sun is 400 times
larger than the moon,

2025
01:14:27.671 --> 01:14:30.090
but the moon is 400 times
closer to the Earth, which...

2026
01:14:30.132 --> 01:14:31.633
Which is why,
during an eclipse,

2027
01:14:31.675 --> 01:14:33.886
it seems like
they were made for each other.

2028
01:14:33.927 --> 01:14:35.762
That's quite a coincidence.

2029
01:14:35.804 --> 01:14:38.348
You know,
the universe is actually full

2030
01:14:38.390 --> 01:14:39.475
of coincidences like that.

2031
01:14:39.516 --> 01:14:40.475
-Hmm!
-For instance,

2032
01:14:40.517 --> 01:14:42.060
isn't it amazing

2033
01:14:42.102 --> 01:14:44.354
that the paths of totality
of this year's eclipse

2034
01:14:44.396 --> 01:14:46.023
and the eclipse
seven years ago

2035
01:14:46.064 --> 01:14:47.941
both passed
right through Carbondale?

2036
01:14:47.983 --> 01:14:51.320
You know, I was actually here
for the last eclipse.

2037
01:14:51.361 --> 01:14:53.739
How about that? So was I!

2038
01:14:53.780 --> 01:14:58.035
And the cosmic coincidences
just keep on coming, don't they?

2039
01:14:58.076 --> 01:14:59.286
It sure seems like it.

2040
01:14:59.328 --> 01:15:00.829
But, you know,
seven years ago,

2041
01:15:00.871 --> 01:15:03.749
the sun and the moon
crossed paths, even connected,

2042
01:15:03.790 --> 01:15:05.918
but... I don't know,

2043
01:15:05.959 --> 01:15:08.462
for some reason,
it just didn't click, did it?

2044
01:15:10.214 --> 01:15:12.216
Does Mommy know that man?

2045
01:15:12.257 --> 01:15:14.384
It seems so.

2046
01:15:14.426 --> 01:15:16.803
I think
I know what you mean.

2047
01:15:16.845 --> 01:15:18.096
Maybe the...

2048
01:15:18.138 --> 01:15:21.683
universe's timing
wasn't quite right somehow.

2049
01:15:21.725 --> 01:15:23.143
That's what I was thinking.

2050
01:15:23.185 --> 01:15:27.564
But, I don't know,
I think this time...

2051
01:15:27.606 --> 01:15:29.024
things are gonna be different.

2052
01:15:29.066 --> 01:15:31.818
I think you might be right.

2053
01:15:34.196 --> 01:15:36.990
We are just a few moments away
from the eclipse...

2054
01:15:37.032 --> 01:15:38.617
beginning,

2055
01:15:38.659 --> 01:15:40.702
so back to you
at the station, Keith,

2056
01:15:40.744 --> 01:15:42.788
and I'll be back here
right after the show.

2057
01:15:44.248 --> 01:15:46.333
And we're clear!

2058
01:15:48.919 --> 01:15:50.963
That was amazing, Kim!

2059
01:15:51.004 --> 01:15:54.299
That was, uh, folksy,
down to earth...

2060
01:15:54.341 --> 01:15:55.592
I mean,

2061
01:15:55.634 --> 01:15:58.971
it was a little
weirdly personal,

2062
01:15:59.012 --> 01:16:00.555
but I loved it,
and, I mean,

2063
01:16:00.597 --> 01:16:01.556
no one's ever gonna
call you "Freezer Burn"

2064
01:16:01.598 --> 01:16:02.891
after that, right?

2065
01:16:02.933 --> 01:16:05.227
Thank you for that, Reed.
I appreciate that so much.

2066
01:16:05.269 --> 01:16:06.103
Okay!

2067
01:16:06.144 --> 01:16:07.563
-Okay?
-You're good to go.

2068
01:16:09.314 --> 01:16:11.775
Hey. Yeah, this is Reed.

2069
01:16:11.817 --> 01:16:14.695
Okay, whatever
you were using for the eclipse,

2070
01:16:14.736 --> 01:16:17.114
I have something better.
I'm sending it to you right now.

2071
01:16:17.155 --> 01:16:19.992
It's high-def live images.

2072
01:16:20.033 --> 01:16:22.703
I'm talking
NASA-level quality here.

2073
01:16:22.744 --> 01:16:26.415
So... long time no see, Malcolm.

2074
01:16:26.456 --> 01:16:27.791
It has been a while...

2075
01:16:27.833 --> 01:16:29.042
-Yeah.
-...Kim.

2076
01:16:29.084 --> 01:16:31.378
At least we got
each other's names this time.

2077
01:16:33.463 --> 01:16:35.799
Uh, I think we--
we have a couple minutes.

2078
01:16:35.841 --> 01:16:37.217
You wanna go for a walk?

2079
01:16:37.259 --> 01:16:39.553
There's nothing I'd love more.

2080
01:16:45.934 --> 01:16:47.060
All right, folks!

2081
01:16:47.102 --> 01:16:51.940
Listen up!
The eclipse is almost here!

2082
01:16:51.982 --> 01:16:54.901
Whoo!

2083
01:16:56.361 --> 01:16:57.195
Good work
getting this camera

2084
01:16:57.237 --> 01:16:58.864
hooked up to the feed so fast.

2085
01:16:58.905 --> 01:17:00.907
I'm glad I could come through,

2086
01:17:00.949 --> 01:17:02.784
but this is the guy
that deserves all the credit.

2087
01:17:02.826 --> 01:17:04.578
It was his idea.

2088
01:17:04.619 --> 01:17:05.662
Thanks for, you know,

2089
01:17:05.704 --> 01:17:07.289
letting us take over
your whole setup.

2090
01:17:07.331 --> 01:17:08.623
Are you kidding?

2091
01:17:08.665 --> 01:17:10.417
That was the most exciting
two minutes of my life.

2092
01:17:10.459 --> 01:17:12.502
I can't believe
I was a part of that.

2093
01:17:12.544 --> 01:17:15.464
So, uh, TV news producer, huh?

2094
01:17:15.505 --> 01:17:17.716
You must see this kind of action
all the time, right?

2095
01:17:17.758 --> 01:17:20.010
Well, I'm actually
still kind of new at this,

2096
01:17:20.052 --> 01:17:23.472
but, yeah,
it can get kind of wild.

2097
01:17:23.513 --> 01:17:25.599
Maybe later we can...

2098
01:17:25.640 --> 01:17:27.184
get some coffee?

2099
01:17:27.225 --> 01:17:29.269
You can tell me some stories.

2100
01:17:30.228 --> 01:17:31.730
Yeah, sure, yeah.

2101
01:17:31.772 --> 01:17:33.440
I got lots of 'em.

2102
01:17:36.026 --> 01:17:38.320
Dr. Longford! Are you okay?

2103
01:17:38.362 --> 01:17:39.404
I'm fine.

2104
01:17:39.446 --> 01:17:41.323
I just feel terrible.

2105
01:17:41.365 --> 01:17:44.534
I missed the interview.

2106
01:17:44.576 --> 01:17:46.536
But not the eclipse.

2107
01:17:48.747 --> 01:17:50.916
Thanks.

2108
01:17:50.957 --> 01:17:53.794
There's this Tahitian myth
that reminds me of us.

2109
01:17:53.835 --> 01:17:55.712
I liked it so much,
I put it in my book.

2110
01:17:55.754 --> 01:17:56.880
You wrote a book?

2111
01:17:56.922 --> 01:17:59.049
Yeah. It's called
"Cosmic Phenomena

2112
01:17:59.091 --> 01:18:00.759
and Their Effects
on Early Cultures:

2113
01:18:00.801 --> 01:18:03.136
A Study in Three Parts,
Volume I."

2114
01:18:03.178 --> 01:18:05.764
Sounds like
a real page-turner.

2115
01:18:07.974 --> 01:18:09.017
Anyway...

2116
01:18:09.059 --> 01:18:11.103
the story goes

2117
01:18:11.144 --> 01:18:13.188
that the sun and moon

2118
01:18:13.230 --> 01:18:16.441
met for the first time
during an eclipse...

2119
01:18:16.483 --> 01:18:20.529
and, well, they fell in love,

2120
01:18:20.570 --> 01:18:22.989
and they became so enamored
with each other

2121
01:18:23.031 --> 01:18:26.034
that they got lost in the sky,

2122
01:18:26.076 --> 01:18:28.954
so they created the stars

2123
01:18:28.995 --> 01:18:31.540
to find their way back
to their proper paths.

2124
01:18:33.458 --> 01:18:35.585
That's beautiful.

2125
01:18:37.003 --> 01:18:41.716
I think I did get a little lost
after that last eclipse,

2126
01:18:41.758 --> 01:18:43.885
and I went through
a lot of ups and downs

2127
01:18:43.927 --> 01:18:48.265
just...
trying to find my way...

2128
01:18:48.306 --> 01:18:50.058
but I think
I'm on the right path now.

2129
01:18:52.102 --> 01:18:53.770
Full disclosure?

2130
01:18:53.812 --> 01:18:55.313
Okay.

2131
01:18:55.355 --> 01:18:58.859
I've thought about you a lot
over the past seven years.

2132
01:18:58.900 --> 01:19:00.444
You were like

2133
01:19:00.485 --> 01:19:03.530
this beautiful stranger
who came into my life,

2134
01:19:03.572 --> 01:19:05.031
gave me a glimpse

2135
01:19:05.073 --> 01:19:07.617
of how special
a personal connection could be,

2136
01:19:07.659 --> 01:19:09.619
and then... vanished.

2137
01:19:12.414 --> 01:19:14.583
I don't wanna wait
for another cosmic phenomenon

2138
01:19:14.624 --> 01:19:15.876
to see you again.

2139
01:19:15.917 --> 01:19:18.044
No, I don't want that either.

2140
01:19:19.838 --> 01:19:22.382
There's... there's something
that I've been dying to do

2141
01:19:22.424 --> 01:19:24.718
since the last time I saw you.

2142
01:19:24.760 --> 01:19:29.055
Well, don't make me wait
another seven years.

2143
01:19:48.283 --> 01:19:49.826
Yeah!

2144
01:19:49.868 --> 01:19:51.495
That was the best!

2145
01:19:51.536 --> 01:19:54.247
The best one ever!

2146
01:20:01.004 --> 01:20:04.466
The eclipse! It's over.

2147
01:20:04.508 --> 01:20:05.675
Huh.

2148
01:20:05.717 --> 01:20:07.802
I can't believe we missed it.

2149
01:20:07.844 --> 01:20:11.765
Eh, you seen one eclipse,
you've seen 'em all.

2150
01:20:13.850 --> 01:20:14.935
Ms. Gallagher!

2151
01:20:14.976 --> 01:20:16.978
Ah! Hello!

2152
01:20:17.020 --> 01:20:18.605
Dr. Longford.

2153
01:20:18.647 --> 01:20:21.066
I'm so sorry
I missed your interview.

2154
01:20:21.107 --> 01:20:22.567
Well, actually, I'm not.

2155
01:20:22.609 --> 01:20:25.195
I mean, I'm-I'm glad
that you're okay, of course,

2156
01:20:25.237 --> 01:20:26.988
but if you hadn't missed it,

2157
01:20:27.030 --> 01:20:29.783
I might not have reunited
with someone very special to me.

2158
01:20:29.824 --> 01:20:31.201
Well!

2159
01:20:31.243 --> 01:20:34.829
I was able to catch most
of your interview on my phone.

2160
01:20:34.871 --> 01:20:36.832
I was quite impressed.

2161
01:20:36.873 --> 01:20:41.002
Eh, you seem...
somewhat familiar to me.

2162
01:20:41.044 --> 01:20:43.129
Yes, I was in your class
at SIU.

2163
01:20:43.171 --> 01:20:45.131
-Oh!
-And I was actually hoping, um,

2164
01:20:45.173 --> 01:20:46.508
you see, I have this manuscript.

2165
01:20:46.550 --> 01:20:49.344
It's kind of part astronomy,
part sociology.

2166
01:20:49.386 --> 01:20:51.972
It's about how cosmic phenomena
like today's eclipse

2167
01:20:52.013 --> 01:20:53.181
have inspired us

2168
01:20:53.223 --> 01:20:55.267
to search for knowledge
and understanding

2169
01:20:55.308 --> 01:20:56.351
over the centuries.

2170
01:20:56.393 --> 01:20:57.352
What's it called?

2171
01:20:57.394 --> 01:20:58.353
It's called
"Cosmic Phenomena"--

2172
01:20:58.395 --> 01:21:01.064
"Cosmic Cultures." Right?

2173
01:21:01.106 --> 01:21:02.190
Good title.

2174
01:21:02.232 --> 01:21:04.359
And do you have
a, uh, publishing deal?

2175
01:21:04.401 --> 01:21:05.860
Well, I was kinda hoping
you might take a look at it,

2176
01:21:05.902 --> 01:21:07.821
and, uh, if you--
if you liked it,

2177
01:21:07.863 --> 01:21:09.990
maybe you could
write me a little blurb

2178
01:21:10.031 --> 01:21:11.700
or a recommendation

2179
01:21:11.741 --> 01:21:13.535
I could put
in my submission inquiries.

2180
01:21:13.577 --> 01:21:14.744
Well...

2181
01:21:14.786 --> 01:21:17.581
I'd love to help out
a former student,

2182
01:21:17.622 --> 01:21:20.584
and if
it's everything you say...

2183
01:21:20.625 --> 01:21:22.961
I'll forward it
to my literary agent.

2184
01:21:23.003 --> 01:21:24.421
That sounds amazing.

2185
01:21:24.462 --> 01:21:28.174
Why don't we discuss it
on my podcast this afternoon?

2186
01:21:28.216 --> 01:21:31.553
-You want me on your podcast?
-I sure do, both of you.

2187
01:21:31.595 --> 01:21:34.055
You have amazing chemistry.

2188
01:21:34.097 --> 01:21:35.682
Thanks!

2189
01:21:35.724 --> 01:21:37.517
We think so too.

2190
01:21:37.559 --> 01:21:39.102
Fantastic.

2191
01:21:39.144 --> 01:21:43.231
Well, we, uh, we're recording
on the stage... in an hour.

2192
01:21:43.273 --> 01:21:47.152
Hey, we're moments out,
so do you guys wanna...

2193
01:21:47.193 --> 01:21:49.529
Oh! Uh, Dr. Longford, um,
do you wanna jump in?

2194
01:21:49.571 --> 01:21:51.031
The least we can do
is plug your podcast.

2195
01:21:51.072 --> 01:21:53.283
Oh, wonderful!

2196
01:21:53.325 --> 01:21:56.411
Okay, we're back
in five... four...

2197
01:21:59.623 --> 01:22:00.874
Welcome back, everyone!

2198
01:22:00.916 --> 01:22:02.834
Well, there you have it,

2199
01:22:02.876 --> 01:22:04.920
another eclipse for the books.

2200
01:22:04.961 --> 01:22:06.004
I'm Kim Gallagher,

2201
01:22:06.046 --> 01:22:08.340
here with world-renowned
astronomers

2202
01:22:08.381 --> 01:22:11.885
Dr. Stanley Longford
and Dr. Malcolm Brooks.

2203
01:22:11.926 --> 01:22:13.303
So, Dr. Longford,

2204
01:22:13.345 --> 01:22:15.305
would you like to say anything
to the folks at home?

2205
01:22:15.347 --> 01:22:16.431
Yes, thank you.

2206
01:22:16.473 --> 01:22:18.516
Please be sure to join
all three of us

2207
01:22:18.558 --> 01:22:22.938
for a special live episode
of my podcast,

2208
01:22:22.979 --> 01:22:24.981
which will begin shortly.

2209
01:22:25.023 --> 01:22:26.650
I can't wait
to sit down with you

2210
01:22:26.691 --> 01:22:29.235
and learn even more
about what happened here today.

2211
01:22:29.277 --> 01:22:30.153
Thank you.

2212
01:22:30.195 --> 01:22:32.781
-So... Malcolm?
-Mm-hmm?

2213
01:22:32.822 --> 01:22:34.991
The next time the sun
and the moon cross paths

2214
01:22:35.033 --> 01:22:38.078
over North America,
it'll be 2044.

2215
01:22:39.204 --> 01:22:40.580
What do you think
you'll be doing

2216
01:22:40.622 --> 01:22:43.792
for the next eclipse
in... 18 years?

2217
01:22:43.833 --> 01:22:46.169
Well, with any luck...

2218
01:22:46.211 --> 01:22:47.587
I'll be spending it with you.

2219
01:22:52.634 --> 01:22:54.135
Once again,

2220
01:22:54.177 --> 01:22:57.931
I'm Kim Gallagher
for WGZA News in Chicago,

2221
01:22:57.972 --> 01:22:59.975
and in the words
of Dr. Longford here,

2222
01:23:00.016 --> 01:23:01.768
Keep your head in the clouds...

2223
01:23:01.810 --> 01:23:05.105
And the stars in your eyes!

2224
01:23:05.146 --> 01:23:06.940
Clear!

2225
01:23:06.981 --> 01:23:08.358
Fantastic.

2226
01:23:08.400 --> 01:23:09.943
Thank you. Thank you.

2227
01:23:09.984 --> 01:23:11.528
Thank you, Dr. Longford.

2228
01:23:11.569 --> 01:23:12.988
Yes, thank you.
