:16:02
You want to see something weirder?
:16:05
Okay, let's go over this again.
Two batteries, right? 24 volts?
:16:09
What are we pulling out of this one?
Just for fun.
:16:15
Twelve volts.
:16:26
- How about this one?
- Should be 12 volts.
:16:38
So, what the hell is this thing?
:16:41
It doesn't stay like that.
:16:43
No, it winds down in a few minutes.
What does that?
:16:51
I don't know. I'll tell them something.
I'll tell them we're spraying for bugs.
:16:55
It should just be a day or two, anyways.
:16:57
- Unless you want to bring them in.
- No, they have their work in there, too.
:17:01
If Phillip finds out about that
he's going to have to take it apart.
:17:05
- No. I'm just putting a little tweak on it.
- Yeah, I know. No, you're right.
:17:09
Abe, it's my garage, okay?
It's not like they're paying rent.
:17:13
There was value in the thing.
Clearly. Of that they were certain of.
:17:17
But what is the application?
In a matter of hours...
:17:19
they had pinned it to everything
from mass transit to satellite launching.
:17:23
Imagining devices the size of jumbo jets.
:17:25
Everything would be cheaper.
It was practical and they knew it.
:17:28
But above all that, beyond the positives...
:17:30
they knew that the easiest way
to be exploited...
:17:32
is to sell something
they did not yet understand.
:17:35
So they kept quiet.
The parties would continue.
:17:38
Any birthday, anniversary, holiday...
:17:41
maybe some obscure project launch.
It didn't matter. Any reason would do.
:17:45
What was important is that Thomas Granger,
their last best hope of funding, show up.
:17:49
If he left a little earlier than
they would've liked, he couldn't be blamed.
:17:53
He was only there
to please his daughter Rachel.
:17:56
And she was only there to please Abe.
