Ernest Pratt:  What the heck is that ?
Janos Bartok: Ball lightening .
Huitzilopochtli Ramos: Actually , Aristotle called them fire balls .
Janos Bartok: Thought of by many renounced men of science to be an optical illusion .
Ernest Pratt: Darn good _ one _ , if you ask me .
Janos Bartok: Yeah , I thought it was an optical illusion myself until I saw one appear accidentally by the tower . I determined that it was a resonance of the electromagnetic field . And what you are seeing , for the very first time in the history of man , is ball lightening created artificially .
Ernest Pratt: What can you do with it ?
Janos Bartok: I have no idea . It could change the course of human events . Possibly not . Right now it 's delightfully useless ; and we shall follows this useless research where ever it shall take us !
