Smith
- Miller: Smitty, have you seen... anything unusual at all?
- Smith: No, I haven't seen anything and I don't need to see anything, sir. But I can tell you... this ship is fucked.
- Dr. Weir: Well, thank you for that scientific analysis, Mr Smith.
- [smirks]
- Smith: Yeah, well, you don't exactly have to be a scientist to figure it out, do ya?
- [grabs Dr. Weir by his uniform]
- Miller: [pulls Smith away] All right, all right!
- Smith: You break all the laws of physics and you seriously think there wouldn't be a price? You went and killed the last fucking crew, and now you wanna kill us as well!
- Dr. Weir: What was made public about the Event Horizon - that she was a deep space research vessel, that her reactor went critical, and that the ship blew up - none of that is true. The Event Horizon is the culmination of a secret government project to create a spacecraft capable of faster-than-light flight.
- Smith: Uhm, excuse me. See, you can't actually do that.
- Dr. Weir: [grabs a centerfold poster from Smith's bunk door] Um... Imagine, for a minute, that this piece of paper...
- Smith: Excuse me. Uh, that's Vanessa, and that's mine. Uh...
- Dr. Weir: Attractive piece of paper represents space-time, and you want to get from point "A" here...
- [pushes a pen through the top of the poster]
- Smith: Oh...
- Dr. Weir: To point "B" there.
- [pushes a pen through the bottom of the poster]
- Dr. Weir: Now, what's the shortest distance between the two points?
- Justin: A straight line.
- [some of the crew laugh]
- Dr. Weir: Wrong. The shortest distance between two points is zero. And that's what the gateway does. It folds space,
- [he folds the poster]
- Dr. Weir: so that point "A" and point "B" co-exist in the same space and time.
- [he pushes the pen through the holes]
- Dr. Weir: When the spacecraft passes through the gateway,
- [he unfolds the paper]
- Dr. Weir: space returns to normal.
- [he gives the ruined poster to Smith]
- Dr. Weir: It's called a gravity drive.
- Justin: How do you know all this?
- Smith: I built it.
- Cooper: [impressed] Well, I can see why they sent you.
