- Send in Pedranski and Crandell, please.
- Yes, sir.
:23:28
Who needs a fix?
Double tall, double dark, double sweet.
:23:32
Double everything. I'm so glad I missed
the whole drug thing...
:23:34
so my body was virgin territory
for caffeine.
:23:37
It makes me feel so Ricki Lake,
like I can talk to anybody.
:23:42
What can I say? I'm the Java Queen.
What's wrong?
:23:47
Kudrow wants to see me.
:23:49
Cool! Maybe you'll get
your own section.
:23:53
No. I, uh,
I screwed up.
:23:55
Well, just go in there
and throw him a Bart Simpson.
:23:58
Kudrow, dude, chill out.
:24:00
- It was that way when I got there.
- Doh!
:24:09
Puzzle line?
:24:11
Puzzle line?
:24:14
Now, I've traveled 10,000 miles
in the past 24 hours.
:24:17
So I've had a lot of time to reflect
on this. Correct me if I'm wrong.
:24:20
But I believe neither one of you has
ever said the words "puzzle line" to me.

Before Mercury went operational,
we ran a standard validation protocol.
:24:30
The works. Double sets of paired
Cray supercomputers...
:24:33
fricking velociraptor machines
chewing at Mercury 24 hours a day.
:24:36
Mercury came out unbent.
:24:38
Awesome, sir. It was finally a code
that couldn't be broken.
:24:41
But there was one last thing
to check out. The, um... geek factor.
:24:46
Human beings will fool you sometimes.
We thought it important...
:24:49
We slipped a message
in one of those egghead word games.
We dared amateurs to crack it.
:24:54
- We were sure nobody would ever call.
- But somebody did.
:24:59
His name is Simon Lynch. He lives
in Chicago. He is nine years old.
