Quotes:

[first lines]
Brendan: This is the earth, and Robert... Where is Robert?
Robert: Sir.
Brendan: Robert. Robert is the sun. I'm going to put the earth into the sun's orbit. Now, question: what'd happen if Robert was to hold the bucket upside down over his head? Peter.
Peter: It'd fall out.
Brendan: Correct. But with centrifugal force... watch.
