(0.00 / 0 votes)Where?
I want a haircut.
The president's in town.
We don't care.
We need a haircut.
We need to go across town.
We'll hit traffic that
speaks in quarter inches.
Just so I know...
...which president
are we talking about?
United States.
Barriers will be setup.
Entire streets deleted
from the map.
Show me my car.
What have we learned then?
Our system is secure.
We're impenetrable.
There's no rogue program.
It would seem, however...
- Eric!
- No, we ran every test.
No one's overloading the
system or manipulating our sites.
When do we do all this?
Yesterday.
At the complex, our rapid response team.
There is no vulnerable point of entry.
Our insurer did a threat analysis.
We are buffered from attack.
Everywhere.
Yes.
Including the car?
Including, absolutely, yes.
My car, this car...
Eric, yes! Please...
We've been together, you and I,
since the little-bitty startup.
I want you to tell me that
you still have the stamina to do this job.
Single mindedness.
This car, your car...
The relentless will.
'cause I keep hearing
about our legend
that we were young,
smart and raised by wolves
that the phenomena of reputation
is a delicate thing.
Person rises on a word
and falls on a syllable.
I know I'm asking the wrong man.
Oh, what?
Where's the car last night
after we ran our tests?
I...
I don't know.
Where do all these limos go at night?
I know I'm changing the subject.
Haven't been sleeping much.
I look at books and drink brandy.
What happens to all these stretched
limousines that prowl the throbbing city all day long?
Where do they spend the night?
Do you ever get the feeling, sometimes,
that you don't know what's going on?
Do I wanna ask you what you mean by that?
All this optimism
All this booming and soaring.
Things happen like...
bang! This! And that! Simultaneous.
I put out my hand
and what do I feel?
I know there are a thousand things
that you analyze every 10 minutes
patterns, ratio, indexes,
whole maps of information.
I love information.
Eric, this is our
sweetness and light.
It is a fuckall wonder
and we have meaning
in this world
people eat and sleep in
the shadow of what we do.
But at the same time
What?
the car instead of the office?
in the car instead of the office?
If I answer that question...
Based on what premise?
I know I'll say something
that's half-way clever, but...also shallow
and probably inaccurate on some level
and then you will pity me
for having been born.
We're in the car 'cause
I need a haircut.
Get the barber come to the
office, get a haircut there
or have the barber come
to your car, just...
get your haircut and
go to the office.
A haircut has what?
Associations
Calendar on the wall,
mirrors everywhere.
Nothing swivels but chair your in, Shiner.
Where's your car?
We can't seem to find it.
I'd offer you a ride.
I couldn't. Absolutely.
I know you work enroute.
and I like taxis.
I was never good at geography and I
learned things by asking the drivers where they come from.
They come from horror and despair.
Yes, exactly.
One learns about the country where
unrest is occurring by riding the taxis here.
I haven't seen you in a while.
I looked for you this morning.
Your eyes are blue.
Have you eat breakfast yet?
No.
Good. I'm hungry for
something thick and chewy.
You never told me you were blue eyed.
When are we going to talk about?
I want a heliboard on the roof.
I've acquired the air rights,
