The Cost of Time, Explained：pull it off
Miller's planet orbits so close to the black hole that every hour there costs seven years on Earth. They argue about whether that is worth it: someone says they have to "think of time as a resource," while another warns, "Plan A does not work if the people on Earth are dead by the time we pull it off."
あらすじ
On the Endurance, the crew go over the data from the lost signals. Miller's beacon is still pinging "thumbs up," but Edmunds' went dark. The real problem is time: Miller's planet is so near the black hole that an hour there equals seven years on Earth. Cooper argues they can't ignore the people they left behind, and the team works out a wider orbit that saves time.

What's really going on
This is a scene about arithmetic, not adventure. The scare isn't the black hole; it's the price of a single visit. Someone spells it out - an hour on the surface, "seven years back on Earth" - and the room has to treat time like a finite supply. That is the argument behind the line "We need to think of time as a resource, like oxygen and food." Cooper pushes back against a colleague who tells him to "think bigger," insisting that a plan which saves humanity after everyone has starved is no plan at all. The resolution is quietly practical: a wider orbit, a little more fuel, a lot less lost time. The film keeps its stakes human - not whether the physics works, but whether the people left behind are still alive when you return.
Theme
DutyThe crew weigh a family on Earth against a mission meant to save everyone.
SurvivalTime itself becomes a resource they must ration to keep humanity alive.

- “Stay” is both a command and a plea.
- Cooper explains science to soften goodbye.
- Motive matters as much as action.
発音のポイント
- kept pinging — elision
- compared to Earth's — weak form
- what if we — liaison
No, it's not that. It's time.The obstacle isn't the physics of landing but the years it would cost.
Plan A does not work if the people on Earth are dead by the time we pull it off.Success is meaningless if everyone it's meant to save has already died while they wait.
We need to think of time as a resource, like oxygen and food. Going down will cost us.A framing that treats time as a consumable supply, so any trip carries a price.
You can't just think about your family. Now you have to think bigger.A rebuke to self-interest, urging the group to weigh all of humanity instead.
このシーンについての質問
Why is Miller's planet so dangerous?
It orbits extremely close to the black hole Gargantua, so its gravity drastically slows their clock. Every hour they spend on the surface equals seven years back on Earth.
What does "pull it off" mean here?
It means to succeed in completing something difficult. The warning is that Plan A only works if people on Earth are still alive when the crew finally manage to carry it out.
What do they decide to do about Miller's planet?
Instead of parking the Endurance in orbit, they take a wider path around Gargantua that keeps them out of the time shift. They burn a bit more fuel but lose far less time.
Why does Cooper care about the people on Earth?
He argues the mission exists to save the people still living on Earth, including his own family, so a plan that reaches them too late has failed them.
