The Fumblers take a break from doing some crazy advanced physics equations on our blackboard to answer the questions of our new alien friend and his robot. To help him understand Earth culture better we all watch The Day the Earth Stood Still. One of us really responds to 3 word commands, and it might surprise you to find out who.
