I'm Larry Benson. You supplied
my division with some microchips.
:50:03
Oh, yes. Larry Benson.
:50:07
The X 1000.
:50:10
Worked out better
than you dreamed, didn't they ?
:50:12
Actually, there was
a little bit of a problem.
:50:15
Then it's with
your software.
:50:18
Uh, I don't think there's
a problem with the software, Ralph.
:50:22
Oh, you don't ?
The X 1000...
:50:26
is a masterpiece.
:50:29
Imagine a microchip
sophisticated enough to control...
:50:32
the guidance systems
of ballistic missiles.
:50:35
Imagine it can be used
to instantly upgrade any system
that it's plugged into,
:50:39
like a smart drug
for machines.
:50:42
Then imagine it can learn.
:50:45
W... What are you talking about ?
Artificial intelligence ?
:50:47
No.
Actual intelligence.
:50:50
It's no wonder those philistines
at the Pentagon couldn't appreciate it.
:50:53
One little flaw and they
scrap the whole project.
:50:56
Aha ! So there is a flaw
in the chips.
:50:59
Well... they're a little bit
sensitive to E.M.P.
:51:03
E.M.P. ?
Electromagnetic pulse ?
:51:06
Yeah, you know, the kind generated by
the detonation of a nuclear device ?
:51:10
I doubt even the toy industry
has become quite that competitive.
:51:14
They said adequate shielding
wasn't cost effective.
:51:18
[ Scoffs ] Did the Medicis
ever tell Michelangelo,
:51:21
"Sorry, Mike, but marble's
not really cost effective.
Here's a bag of cement." ?
:51:24
- I think not ! [ Sneezes ]
- Gesundheit.
:51:28
- Thank you.
- There shouldn't be any problem
'cause the chips can learn.
:51:33
Am I not being clear ? They can
learn within the boundaries
of their primary programming.
:51:38
Whatever the core programming,
the X 1000 enhances it from within.
:51:42
[ Sighs ] So if you've got a problem,
it's in your software.
:51:46
[ Computer Beeping ]
:51:50
Quick impression for you now...
Jimmy Cagney. Top of the world, Ma !
:51:53
[ Laughing Hysterically ]
:51:56
Talk about hampering
your career.
:51:58
- [ Male Sportscaster, Indistinct ]
- Grab him !
