Oh, it seems I'm missing my young assistant to the dubious charms of Mr. Pope.

The way everyone's gearing up, feels like I should help.
大家都在做准备,好像我也该帮忙
That's the best offer I've had today.

Why don't you grab this box and follow me over to the desk, huh?
端起盒子,跟我到桌子那边
What are these?
这些是什么
Oh, they're, uh-- they're vacuum tubes.
是,是电子管
You know, if transistors were the Ferarris of the electronic age, this is the Model T.
如果晶体管是电子时代的法拉利,这个就是T型
Hmm. What's a Model T?

and I'm looking for a very specific one.

Once you get it working, are you gonna try and contact other people?
一旦弄好了,你是要用来联系其他人吗
Well, that was one idea.
只是其中一个想法
What if the Skitters hear you? Won't they be able to find us?
万一突击者听到怎么办,不会发现我们吗
Aha! Found it.

好了,看看它能发出信号吧
Can you just crank the handle on that radio?
你能帮忙摇动那个无线电手柄吗
Yeah, okay. Yeah, right there.
好的。就在那里
And I will roll through the frequencies.
我来调节频率
Okay. How's... How's that? Anything yet?
好的。这...这样如何?有什么效果吗
W-what happened? Is everything all right?
怎么了,你没事吧
Yeah. It's all right. It's all right. I'm fine.
嗯,没事,没事,我很好
Well, that's more than I can say for this bucket of bolts.
看来这台老爷车只能这样了
So you're sure the radio didn't make a squeak, huh?
你确定没听到吱吱声是吗
No. No. Nothing on the radio.
是的,什么声音都没有
