-
- Okay.
-
It's very faint, but I can still
sense him in the building.
-
Go into the light Mr. Heckle.
-
- Okay, Phoebe.
-
- I'm sorry, but sometimes
they need help.
-
- Here we go.
- That's fine.
-
Go ahead and scoff.
-
You know, there are a lot
-
of things out there
that I don't believe in,
-
but that doesn't mean
they're not true.
-
- Such as?
-
- Like crop circles,
or the Bermuda Triangle,
-
or evolution.
-
- Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa.
-
What, you don't--
you don't believe in evolution?
-
- No, not really.
-
- You don't believe
in evolution?
-
- I don't know.
-
It's just, you know,
monkeys, Darwin, you know.
-
It's a nice story. I just
think it's a little too easy.
-
- Too easy?
Too--
-
the process of every living
thing on this planet,
-
evolving over millions of years
-
from single-celled
organisms is too easy?
-
- Yeah, I just don't buy it.
- Excuse me.
-
Evolution is not for
you to buy, Phoebe.
-
Evolution is scientific fact,
like-- like--
-
like the air we breathe.
Like gravity.
-
- Oh, okay. Don't get me
started on gravity.
-
- You-- you don't believe
in gravity?
-
- Well, it's not so much
that, you know,
-
like I don't believe in it,
-
you know. It's just,
I don't know.
-
Lately I get the feeling
-
that I'm not so much
being pulled down
-
as I am being pushed.
-
[ knock at door ]
-
- Uh oh, it's Isaac Newton
and he's pissed.
-
- How can you not
believe in evolution?
-
- I don't know. I just don't.
Look at this funky shirt.
-
- Pheebs, I've studied evolution
my entire adult life. Okay?
-
And I can tell you
we have collected fossils
-
from all over the world
that actually show the evolution
-
of different species.
-
Okay? I mean you can literally
see them evolving through time.
-
- Really?
You can actually see it?
-
- You bet.
-
In the U.S., China,
Africa, all over.
-
- See, I didn't know that.
-
- Well, there you go.
-
- Hm. So now the real
question is,
-
who put those fossils
there and why?
-
- Hey, okay, Pheebs.
-
See how I'm making these
little toys move?
-
Opposable thumbs.
-
Without evolution, how do you
explain opposable thumbs?
-
- Maybe the overlords needed
them to steer their spacecrafts.
-
- Please tell me you're joking.
- Look, can't we just say
-
that you believe
in something and I don't?
-
- No, no, no Pheebs we can't.
-
Okay?
- Why not?
-
- Because--
- What is this obsessive need
-
you have to make everybody
agree with you?
-
No, what's that all about?
You know what? I think--
-
I think maybe it's time you
put Ross under the microscope.
-
- Is there blood
coming out of my ears?
-
- Uh oh. It's scary
scientist man.
-
- Okay, Phoebe, this is it.
-
In this briefcase,
I carry actual scientific facts:
-
a briefcase of facts,
if you will.
-
Some of these fossils are
over 200 million years old.
-
- Okay, look.
Before you even start,
-
I'm not denying evolution.
-
Okay? I'm just saying that
it's one of the possibilities.
-
- It's the only possibility,
Phoebe.
-
- Okay. Ross, could you
just open your mind,
-
like, this much?
-
Okay? Now wasn't there a time
when the brightest minds
-
in the world believed
that the earth was flat?
-
And up until, like, what,
50 years ago,
-
you all thought the atom
was the smallest thing,
-
until you split it open
and this, like,
-
whole mess of crap came out.
-
Now, are you telling me that you
are so unbelievably arrogant
-
that you can't admit
that there's a teeny,
-
tiny possibility that you
could be wrong about this?
-
- There might be...
-
a teeny...
-
tiny...
-
possibility.
-
- I can't believe you caved.
-
- What?
- You just abandoned
-
your whole belief system.
-
No, I mean before,
I didn't agree with you,
-
but at least I respected you.
- But--
-
- How-- how are you going to
go into work tomorrow?
-
How-- how are you going to face
the other science guys?
-
How-- how are you
going to face yourself? Oh.
-
That was fun.
-
So who's hungry?
-
- I am.
