The Andromeda Strain (1971): Rapid Breathing

The clip rapid breathing from The Andromeda Strain (1971) with George Mitchell

No, we want him to breathe fast!
In Piedmont, Jackson was crocked on Sterno. Sterno acidosis.
Acidosis: Rapid breathing.
What the hell you doing?
Turn off the oxygen. Put him on room air.
The baby, he's normal. Cries all the time. Can't catch his breath.
Rapid breathing? It just can't be that simple. It isn't.
Dutton, I think rapid breathing helps.
Don't let the bug in your lungs long enough to penetrate blood vessels.
I want to turn off the pure oxygen, then you start breathing room air as fast as you can.
No! No. I was running a test in here.
The air is thick with Andromeda. Experiment with your own life, damn it.!
We won't do it, Charlie. Take it easy. I know I'm close.
I'm sure it has something to do with blood chemistry and breathing. Dr. Hall.
May I please feed the baby now? He's been crying steadily...
That's what I want. Keep him crying.
Run another blood value on him. Get his pH measurements.
Yes, Doctor!
With all the yelling, blowing off carbon dioxide, the kid should have too little acid.
Alkaline: A blood condition just the opposite from the old man. Too much alkali.
Well, what good does that do Dutton?
Karen, where's the blood test?
It's coming through now on your console.
Hell of a way to run a hospital.
Just what you expected.
Opposite blood chemistries, the baby and the old man.
One of them should be a dead opposite But he's not.
There must be a connection!
They both stayed alive at Piedmont breathing the same air.
One's blood too alkaline, the other too... acid.
Yes. Yes!
Dutton, I'm turning off the oxygen. Breathe fast and hard.
No, Jeremy! Don't let him cut off my oxygen.
No! The air in that room is loaded... Air doesn't matter.
Blood does. That's the answer.
