how dare you write on that blackboard! do you realize the professor has been working on that problem for weeks?
how did you get in here? and what do you want?
well, he's not here. and he won't be back till this evening. i think you'd better leave now. unruffled, klaatu turns to the desk and scribbles something on a scratch pad. he tears off the piece of paper and hands it to hilda.
--no, sergeant, there was no classified material around, but i have instructions to report anything unusual to the police.  yes -- i'm professor barnhardt's secretary. the man's name is carpenter -- and he lives at 1615 st. street, n.w.  yes, that's right--
you should see it, professor barnhardt! you should go out and see it for yourself!
the whole city has stopped. people are running around like ants!
i talked to most of them this morning.  they were all very curious about the meeting.
he'll be there at 8:30.
yes, sir -- it certainly does!
