Yeah.

Who's making the decision?

Professor Sherman.

Yeah, I'm meeting with him today.

Oh, he's a pretty tough guy to impress.

Yeah, well, I think I know how to dazzle him.

Oh, you're not gonna do a magic trick, are ya?

No.

The data we're receiving from MRI scans and DNA testing of these fossils are staggering.

Mm-hmm.

I mean, we've been accepting Leakey's data as a given, but if they're off by even a hundred thousand years or so, then you can just throw most of our assumptions, you know, right in the trash.

So what I'm saying is that repercussions could be huge.

I mean, not just in paleontology, but if you think about it in evolutionary biology, genetics, geology, I mean, truly, the mind boggles.

Well, that's not what you want.

Luke.

Joey, hey, I need to talk to Charlie.

Is she there?

No, she went shopping with Rachel.

Why?

What's up?

Well, I'm meeting with Professor Sherman about my being the keynote speaker.

How's it going?

It could be better.

He fell asleep.

What?

But I already bought my ticket to Bermuda.

Barbados.

Fine, I'll rent the car and drive.

Ross, you have to get that job.

What am I supposed to do?

He's cold.

In fact, he was just talking in his sleep before and evidently he wants someone named Fran to spank him harder.

Well, just wake him up.

I can't.

If he realizes that I'm the one who put him to sleep, I won't get the job.

Oh, that's a tough one.

Oh, wait a minute.

This happened to me before.

Yeah, I was auditioning for a play and the producer fell asleep.

No, wait a minute.

It was me who fell asleep.

I mean, hey, Shakespeare, how about a kiss?

Oh, my God.

You really want me to be the keynote speaker?

Thank you.

You're welcome. you
