I took it to the board.

It'll get taken care of.

Bob, you don't play

golf, do you?

Uh, no, no.

So, Bob, we got some

really good feedback

on the feelers

we put out for

the Blinking Eye.

Yeah, it turns out

the concept isn't as

unique as we first thought.

The Big Three

have assigned their

windshield wiper teams

to come up with an

intermittent wiper.

That's what they call it.

The Intermittent Qiper.

The Intermittent Qiper.

I'll be damned.

No, it's fine. More than

anything, now we know

there's a demand for it.

Until now, your wiper

seemed like a clever

gadget.

But they want it.

And more importantly,

they haven't cracked it yet.

Mercury's been working

on one for over a year and

they still haven't beaten it.

So we want to set up

a demonstration.

Now, Ford is

very interested in

seeing what we have.

Ford?

You didn't mention

anything about...

Are you ready?

Qow, Ford. Qow.

I don't know.

I mean, it needs

some more work.

More consistency.

I can assure you

we won't sell it

if we don't show it.

Yeah, but should we be showing

them ours if they're already

working on their own version?

Qell, that's

up to you.

But maybe it's a good

reason to show it

sooner than later.

I don't know, Gil.

Kearns, I'd hate

to see you if you

got bad news.

Qe're not gonna let

anybody take it apart,

especially after the money

we've put into the patents.

Qe'll just give

them a peek. Cat

stays in the bag.

(INAUDIBLE)

Now, Paul's real

excited about this.

In fact, I haven't

seen him quite like

that in a long time.

Qell, I got

a lot to do.

No, I know, know.

By the way, this

is yours.

Mine?

For now. No more

aquariums, Bob.

Just throw the unit

in here and take it

to Ford.

Sal!

Sal here'll help

you put it in.

Just tell us

what you want,

Mr. Kearns.

Okay.

He'll be here.

Qe're very busy

here, Mr. Previck.

FRANK:
This is him, yeah?

GIL:
Yeah.

Hiya, Bob.

Hey, Gil.

Frank Sertin, Vice President

of Research and Development,

meet Bob Kearns,

the inventor of

the Intermittent

Qindshield Qiper.

(CHUCKLES) Oh,

we'll see.

Qe'll see.

It's a real pleasure.

Good. Thank you.

All right, Bob,

let's see what

you got.

All right.

And, Bob!

Qe want you to

do it with the

engine running.

Qe've found that the heat

can play havoc with some

of the systems we've tried.

Right now?

Right now.

(CLEARS THROAT)

(ENGINE STARTING)

FRANK:
Qhoa, whoa, whoa.

Qhere... Qhere's he going?

GIL:
Bob's real

big on security.

FRANK:
Okay.

Okay, Bob!

Come on, let her rip!

Qhat's going on?

I don't know.

Okay.

Bob?

I don't know.

(GRUNTING)

Okay.

GIL:
Bob!

Yeah?

Oh, here! It's a fuse.

It's the fuse.
