Goodbye gentlemen, the world is beautiful

we will find to enjoy it.

- Take a friend, flee from me. - No, not you, of that broom.

Y entonces Mr. The?

- I start where you left Bunt? - You can help if you want.

I offer bed and board, for a while. Until you find work.

Okay, thank you very much.

Do you mind if I do a couple of experiments while I'm here?

- In the hours of rest. - Yes, if you are careful.

Come, we have much work. You know use that?

- Yes, I have invented - Then I disconnect.

- This is the office of Mr. Taggart. - Business is done here?

I'm tired, let's get some rest.

According.

- What is this thing? - Than?

- What is this? - Oh, that's a transmitter.

Get gold prices and sent

by this machine there to the headquarters of shares.

- Is not that wonderful? - It's wonderful to work.

I'd like Mr. Taggart.

- When Mr. Taggart? To talk to him? - Yes, why not?

That's good to know Mr. Taggart.

Anda, vamos a comer.

How are you, Mr. Taggart?

Do you look what you made me do?

Mr. Taggart, nice to meet you! A real pleasure.

I will be brief, I know you do not have much time and I did not.

Coja un cigarro, Sr. Taggart.

- If you do not mind smoke. - Sit down please.

So, Mr. Taggart, you have money and ideas.

Together we form a great team.

Sounds good boy, how much do you need?

Well, not much, Mr. Taggart.

Well, I'm a little low now. How about $ 2 million?

- I removed it from my mouth. - Enfold you or you send them?

Enough of this nonsense, enough of this nonsense.

I think I'll lie down a bit, I'm not feeling very well.

At this hour of the night I start to be exhausted.

Why not get some sleep? I will clean the office.

- You can eat a little. - But it's your dinner.

I'm not hungry. I am concerned with Bunt.

I think I will not sleep tonight.

Mr Els, you can not do two things at once.

If you want to sleep, sleep. If you worry, stay awake.

Listen, Mr. Els, Faraday experiments with electricity.

The aim of my research was the turn magnetism into electricity.

When I cut the current, I got sparks among the coals.

Now I have the embryo of electricity.

Rather discover new facts about electromagnetic induction.

that extol the importance of those already obtained.

With certain new discoveries in the future.

In the future.

That is now.

- Have you seen the spark? - Why do you think I jumped?

It works, as the book said.

You will burn the building before you know it.

No, Mr Els, is an experiment with electricity.

Electricity? That's dangerous, stop playing with it.

How I will discover something if it does not. He said he could.

I will lose my job, do you want me fired?

No, Mr. Els, preferred to walk the streets, rather than see it.
