The scene at the Lincoln Memorial:

KLAATU: Those are great words. He must have been a great man.
BOBBY: Well sure.
KLAATU: That's the kind of man I'd like to talk to. Bobby, who's the greatest man in America today?
BOBBY: Well, I dunno. Spaceman I guess.
KLAATU: No, I was speaking of Earthmen. I meant the greatest philosopher. The greatest thinker.
BOBBY: Oh you mean the smartest man in the whole world.
KLAATU: Yes, that would do nicely.


Now, if someone from another planet who looked like Michael Rennie came up to you and asked you this question, how would you respond?

Pick one for each
1. Alive
2. Dead
3. Fictional
