Fantastic Four

Ever since I was three,

I wanted to play quarterback for the New York Giants...

like my personal hero, Eli Manning.

Annual salary is between 10 and 20 million dollars a year.

Thank you.

Next up... Reed.

Mr. Richards?

Earth to Richards.

Beam me up, Scotty.

Okay, come on, guys. Oh, I'm sorry.

When I grow up...

I want to be the first person in human history

to teleport himself.

I'm sorry, what?

It's already possible to transport

quantum information from one location to another.

Right now, there are supercomputers

that can transport

quantum information through space.

So why not a machine that can send people through space?

Well, even if you could build the thing, which you can't...

I've already built it.

Well, I'm building it.

In my garage.

Is it next to your flying car?

I'm not working on that anymore.

Just this now.

I call it a "Biomatter Shuttle. "

"Biomatter... "?

Technically, I'm shuttling matter from one place to another.

Well, first matter.

But once I test on biological

materials, I can... All right, look...

Thank you, Mr. Richards.

This is all very interesting

but the assignment was to pick a real career

in the real world.

Redo the report, and I'll let you try again tomorrow.

Ben?

Anyway, I tell him...

"Bro, I ain't looking at your girl.

"Girl's looking at me.

"What you want me to do about it?"

Know what I'm saying?

Hey, where you going?

I got homework. What?

Look at that fridge pile.

Idiot.

What'd you say?

Hey! Clobbering time.

What'd you think?

Think you can talk to me like that, huh?

You think you can talk to me like that, punk?

What the hell is the matter with you?

Shh! Huh? Huh? Ma!

I didn't do nothing! Huh? Huh?

Ma, I swear to God! You didn't do nothing?

Go check on that fuss.

You didn't do nothing? I watched you!

What's the matter with you?

How many times do I have to tell you, you don't hit a kid!

Hey!

Hello?

Who's in there?

Please don't kill me.

Take that off.

I know you. From school.

I'm just looking for a power converter.

I'm building something.

Ben! What's going on out there?

Hold on!

That teleporting thing?

I can show it to you. I just need the converter.

All right.

Come on, throw him the ball!

Throw the ball, throw the ball!

Come on, he's open! Throw the ball!

That's what I'm talking about. Yeah!

Is that it? Yeah.

Help.

Here you go.

Your family owns a junkyard?

Mmm-hmm.

That place is awesome.

Here. You're stripping the head.

So, uh, who else lives here?

Just my mom and step-dad.

They don't care about all this?

They don't understand it.

You might want to cover your ears.

Stand back a little.

What the hell?

Damn it.

It's all right. All right, come on.

Don't blow up.

Come on, man! Guy's open!

Whoa!

Reed! What did you do?

Now!

Reed!

Did it work?

(SHOUTING) Hey, Reed!

Where'd the rocks come from?

From the same place the car went to.

Where is that?

I don't know yet.

Reed?

What?

You're insane.

Thanks.

Mr. Richards.

Shall I alert the fire department?

What is this?

Uh, this is a Cymatic Matter Shuttle.

Me and my associate Ben

have been working on it every day since 5th grade

when we launched the beta version in my garage.

And today is our first public demonstration.

What does it do?

It modulates the frequency of matter

from one location to another and back again.

It's a teleporter.

A teleporter.

Model car, please?

The model... The model car, please, Ben.

I don't have the model car.

Why don't you have the model car?

I brought everything else. I specifically...

But... Mr. Richards?

Okay, I will use this model plane.

Hey, I just need to use this for one second.

But I'll give it back, I promise. Thanks.

Here we go.

Ben? Please?

You may want to cover your ears.

Great. Now, Ben, bring it on back.

Yeah.

Oh, keep 'em covered.

(MUTTERS) Oh, come on. No. Come on, come on.

Don't do this.

Oh, okay.

Now if I can have your attention, please.

What you're looking at is sand,

presumably from the Gansu Desert in China.

Or perhaps even from the Sahara.

You're disqualified.

We're not entirely sure where it's from...

Mr. Richards, you're disqualified.

Wait, what?

This is a science fair, not a magic competition.

I don't see any real science here.

And you're paying for the backboard.

Did you put it on 6 or 8?

Everything was the same.

I know, but you're smashing the buttons.

It's delicate. You can't smash it.

Hey, kid, I'm really sorry about your plane.

You're a dick.

You cranked it up too high.

I didn't crank it up too high.

It was on the same setting as last time.

I know, but it's very precise.

Excuse me, guys? Just pack it up.

Yeah?

Did you really build this in your garage?

Mmm-hmm.

Now, this is elegant.

What are these?

Uh, Sonic projectors,

using cymatics to modulate the field.

That's why we can't bring the matter back

from the other dimension.

Uh... What?

We've gone so far as to send matter to another dimension

but we haven't been able to maintain a field

long enough to bring that matter back.

You just did.

Oh, you're serious.

I think you've cracked inter-dimensional travel.

I mean, we're not sending anything to another dimension.

We sent something, we think,

to another part of the planet

but I don't know about another dimension.

We found the same thing you did.

We've had it analyzed repeatedly,

but no one's ever seen anything like it.

Oh, wow.

I'm sorry. We're from the Baxter Foundation.

This is my daughter, Sue.

Hi. Hi.

We'd like to give you a full scholarship.
