Thanks to a lull in paranormal activity in the Northeast part of the United States (seems to be the only place it happens), I was able to go to the movies with Dr. Walter Bishop. He was not too pleased about going without his son, Peter, but we thought it best if he had a full escape from the lab. Plus, I took a class in adolescent psychology so I thought I could manage. Just apply the knowledge four times as much.We went to see "Crank: High Voltage" and once I got him a medium popcorn with green m&ms in it ("Only green"), he was settled in for the rest of the film. After it was over, we had the following discussion about the movie:
Kevin
So Dr. Bishop...
Dr. Bishop
Call me Walter.
Kevin
Ok, Walter, what did you think of the film?
Walter stares off in thought.
Kevin
Walter?
Dr. Bishop
(shakes head)
I think I just remembered where I left my mechanical pencil. It's in the sun visor of my Datsun.
Kevin
What does that have to - Wait, you had a Datsun?
Dr. Bishop
Yes, I built it on my sabbatical.
Kevin
You built a Datsun?
Dr. Bishop
Actually, I built two of them but only one of them ran on Coca Cola.
Kevin
Riiiight...let's talk about the movie. I didn't really care for it. I'm usually ok with crazy Jason Statham plots but an artificial heart that needs to be charged hourly by grabbing telephone wires?
Dr. Bishop
Take me to my lab.
Kevin
What?
Dr. Bishop
Hurry!
Kevin
What about the movie interview?
Dr. Bishop
Take me to my lab!
Kevin and Walter get in the car. We skip ahead 20 minutes to the lab. Walter is thumbing through a filing cabinet. He finds a file and opens it.
Dr. Bishop
Aha! Here it is. In 1981, I did some work with a mechanical heart that could pump the blood of a gorilla for three hours using an external battery pack. I suppose it could be adjusted to work with an internal battery. Would you like to help me do some research?
Kevin
Of course. Are you serious?
Dr. Bishop
No. I just wanted to see pictures of my Datsun. See?
Walter hands him a photo of the Datsun.
Kevin
(disappointed)
It's nice.
Dr. Bishop
Thank you.
Kevin
So anyway, movie?
Dr. Bishop
It was garbage.
Kevin
Wonderful. I'd like to thank Dr. Walter Bishop for taking some time away from stopping monsters and weird stuff from destroying the world.
Dr. Bishop
Do you have any more Skittles?
Kevin
No.
Dr. Bishop
I'll just go make some. Astrid!
Walter leaves.
Kevin
Well, I hope you will tune in next time when I go to the movies with Benjamin Linus once I figure out how to get to him.
