:22:01
Well, I mean, if I owned
a copyright on the Bible...

:22:06
I wouldn't sell it
to Random House.

:22:11
It's what I want.
I'm on my way to New Mexico now.

:22:14
I shall be staying at
an hotel near the border.

:22:17
I can't tell you yet.
I'll be in touch.

:22:27
Results are results, Nate,
and your class is way below par.

:22:31
I have the computer statement right here.
:22:34
And, uh —
It's kind of sad.

:22:36
The campus computer, I gather?
:22:38
- That damn thing doesn't have a mind.
- It's not meant to have a mind.

:22:42
That's what makes it perfect for this place, right?
:22:47
Oh, the company that made that self-developing
film that I showed you a while ago?

:22:50
They've, uh —They've made
this announcement.

:22:52
They're —They're dumping computers.
They're installing human beings.

:22:56
- Oh, really.
- Want to know why?

:22:58
They want to bring back
human error...

:23:00
because that's the way you get new ideas —
by making mistakes.

:23:04
Back to man and his imagination.
:23:07
If you can't spot a piece of bullshit
commercial publicity when you hear it...

:23:11
you're even more naive
than I thought.

:23:13
Keep your mind on your job.
:23:15
- That's my advice.
- That's your advice to me?

:23:17
- Yeah.
- You're so fucking smug and ignorant,
you don't know what's going on.

:23:20
- Oh, really?
- These kids are bored.

:23:22
They're bored with you
and these fucking textbooks.

:23:25
They're five years out of date.
I mean —

:23:27
What they need is some real stimulus.
:23:31
- Ideas to pursue.
- Yes, well...

:23:34
we've had enough
of your pursuits.

:23:39
What are you talking about?
:23:41
I'm talking about
the things you pursue, Nate.

:23:45
Young things.
I don't know. Maybe it's your age.

:23:48
You've become a novelty freak,
and you're not that young anymore.

:23:52
You don't even get it, do you?
:23:55
I'm younger than most of those kids.
:23:57
- Oh, come on!
- They're already middle-aged
because that's what they're taught.
