But what is the application?
In a matter of hours...

:18:04
they had pinned it to everything
from mass transit to satellite launching.

:18:07
Imagining devices the size of jumbo jets.
:18:10
Everything would be cheaper.
It was practical and they knew it.

:18:13
But above all that, beyond the positives...
:18:15
they knew that the easiest way
to be exploited...

:18:17
is to sell something
they did not yet understand.

:18:20
So they kept quiet.
The parties would continue.

:18:23
Any birthday, anniversary, holiday...
:18:26
maybe some obscure project launch.
It didn't matter. Any reason would do.

:18:30
What was important is that Thomas Granger,
their last best hope of funding, show up.

:18:35
If he left a little earlier than
they would've liked, he couldn't be blamed.

:18:39
He was only there

:18:42
And she was only there to please Abe.
:18:47
What did you say
to Mr. Granger a while ago?

:18:49
-Did you flip my burger?
-You can't call him Mr. Granger.

:18:52

Thomas or something.

:18:55
-Go ahead.
-No, because he won't take you seriously.

:18:59
-He thinks we're kids.
-lf you call him Mr. Granger...

:19:01
he looks at you like you're a 6-year-old kid.
He does it with me. It won't work anymore.

:19:06
Abe had taken on the task
of quantifying and explaining the device.

:19:11
But as weeks became months...
:19:13
their enthusiasm became a slow realization
that they were out of their depth.
