Summary

Professor Phillip Brainard, an absent-minded professor, works with his robotic assistant Weebo trying to create a substance that's a new energy source and that will save Medfield College, where his sweetheart Sara is the president. He has missed his wedding ceremony twice, and on the afternoon of his third wedding, Professor Brainard creates a substance which allows objects to fly through the air. It looks like rubber, so he calls it flubber. This film is based on the 1961 Disney classic "The Absent-Minded Professor."

Quotes

Philip
Morning--or afternoon, whatever the case may be. We have a lot to talk about today, so let's get into it without delay. Oh! Oh, uh, thank you, whoever gave me the plate of fruit and the dead pheasant, but it does not count as extra credit. Last time we were talking about Newton's Law of gravitation. To review: We see this "G" is like the "c" in E=mc squared. It's a constant, constant universe, as much as anything is constant in the universe. It's saying that the force of attraction between two bodies is in direct proportion to the product of the masses and in inverse proportion to the square of the distance between them. An example would be--Let's make, uh, naked man, "M-1." Naked lady "M-2." Now, according to this formula, their attractive forces would want to close the distance to zero. Why don't they? Hmm? The earth! Ah. So, in essence that is gravity and this... is "Dr. Richard's Life Drawing." Ah. It's not my class, is it?

Wish I understood human beings. Wish I understood women. Wish I understood emotions and passions. I wish I understood any of that. If I did, I wouldn't have to spend my entire life in a laboratory trying to figure out how the world works. I would've been out in the world trying to figure out why it works. I know I love her, Weebo. Every neuron in my limbic system is saturated with phenylethylamine. That triggers euphoria, elation, exhilaration. Truth is, Weebo, I'm not absent-minded because I'm selfish or crazy or--or inconsiderate. I'm absent-minded because I'm in love with Sara.
