The Andromeda Strain

The Andromeda Strain1971



[Dutton has just finished drawing a picture on the blackboard of a scientist examining a specimen under a microscope. A speech balloon from the slide says "Take us to your leader". His students all laugh]

Dr. Charles Dutton:
I'm glad you're amused gentlemen, but it might just turn out to be true. During this symposium, we'll discuss the possibility that intelligent life on a distant planet may be no larger than a flea.

[more laughter]

Dr. Charles Dutton:
Perhaps no larger than... a bacterium.

[silence]
