- Albert Einstein: Are you thinking what I am thinking?
- Ed Walters: Well what would be the odds of that happening?
- Louis Bamberger: "New Jersey: Leader in Intergalactic Rocket Exploration." How's that sound for a license plate?
- Ed Walters: Long?
- Albert Einstein: Catherine is my niece.
- Ed Walters: She's your niece?
- Albert Einstein: Yes
- Ed Walters: She's... your niece?
- Albert Einstein: I can't have a niece?
- Ed Walters: But that makes you... her uncle.
- Albert Einstein: It works nicely, doesn't it?
- Ed Walters: You see, you have a Lucas type four generator on a 12-volt system, and you know the British. They'd rather spend time gluing wood on a dashboard than getting the electrical system right.
- James Moreland: Fascinating, but what is wrong with the car?
- Ed Walters: [while looking at Catherine Boyd] Well, my guess is your stroke is too short and you're getting premature ignition. Does it ever feel that way?
- Catherine Boyd: You took Albert Einstein for a ride on that thing?
- Ed Walters: Sure.
- Catherine Boyd: Well don't ever do that again!
- Ed Walters: Come on. He loved it. He went Wahoo.
- Catherine Boyd: Wahoo?
- Ed Walters: When's the last time he said Wahoo?
- Catherine Boyd: Well I'm sure I don't know.
- Ed Walters: When's the last time *you* said Wahoo?
- Catherine Boyd: Well I'm *sure* I don't know.
- Ed Walters: Frank, this is Albert Einstein, the smartest man in the world.
- Frank: [greeting Einstein] How they hanging?
- Catherine Boyd: I need to call a phone. Do you mind if I use your cab?
- Ed Walters: There's a cab in the office.
- Ed Walters: ...nuclear configuration, is given given by the expectation value of the nuclear Hamiltonian of the state of n neutrons and n protons. Reaction will occur if the energy of the fused state is lower than the energy of the two separate nuclei.
- Ed Walters: Go on. Go on.
- Ed Walters: Our task is to see if the dynamics dictated by the interaction Hamiltonian generates a sufficiently rapid reaction to make cold fusion powered engines feasible.
