Im fluent in a language
One that no one else can speak
I can draw the perfect picture
But you're not allowed to see
I can run the fastest mile
I can walk across the sea
I designed the Eiffel Tower
With my Masters PHD
I am the greatest actor
I'm the voice of your tv
Ive performed in every theatre
Even neurosurgery
You can listen to Beethoven
Or any other piano piece
But I'm afraid you're wasting your time
Because no one is as good as me
A foreign diplomat has sustained a head injury.
He cannot undergo the usual neurosurgery.
Instead, something out of the ordinary is due.
A submarine is used with a team of surgeons for a crew.
They shrink the sub to less than microscopic size.
They enter the man’s body with this one condition.
There is a short time to accomplish the mission.
The crew has sixty minutes to reach where the injury lies.
More than one hour, and it will be too late.
The sub will enlarge again, and suffer a terrible fate.
This is an exciting flick without a doubt.
The next time it appears on TV, check it out.
Based on the 1966 film “Fantastic Voyage”
