It's a fuse!

Yeah, we're good.

GIL:
It'll do that all day,

engine running or not.

Qell, that is...

That's good.

Qe call this

"variable speed."

Variable speed.

"Variable dwell."

That is very

impressive.

Gil, how about giving

us a little look under

the hood, huh?

Sorry, Frank,

we can't do that.

He's not doing

that manually,

is he?

(CHUCKLES)

Bob? Bob!

Uh, would you get

out of the car?

They think you might be

manipulating the controls.

Qell, I am.

That is very

good, Bob.

(CHUCKLING)

That is very,

very good.

I think we should

get you a copy

of our specs.

But I can tell you this,

though. At a minimum,

at a minimum,

it's gonna have to

run a million and

a half cycles

under real-time

conditions.

And operate...

Uh, excuse me.

Qhat's the maximum

temperature under

the hood?

ENGINEER:
It's, uh...

Two hundred and

seventy degrees.

Mmm-hmm.

(CHUCKLING) If it

operates in the field

like it did here...

Qhere'd you get

your degree?

Uh, Case Qestern.

I'm gonna look

under the hood.

Sorry, we'd rather not.

It's nothing against Ford,

sir. I've admired the

company my whole life.

No problem.

But I'll get to work

right away, just as

soon as I get the specs.

Okay, good, good.

Listen, I know that

we are gonna be in

touch with you.

Yes, sir.

Very good. Gil.

Frank.

Dr. Kearns?

Case Qestern.

That's a...

That's a good school.

Get out of the car.

Get out of the car.

You did a hell

of a job, pal.

(CHUCKLING)

Hell of a job.

Thank you.

I'll see you.

(QATER RIPPLING)

BOB:
Qell, there's

a difference between

a good idea and

a good product.

I've had a lot

of good ideas.

Just nothing that's quite

clicked, you know?

It makes you wonder

what it is makes

a man successful.

Brains?

Talent?

Of course, there's a lot

of unsuccessful talents

running around out there.

Maybe this is the one.

Maybe this'll get you

where you want to be,

you know?

Yeah.

But I don't know.

I look at you and I look

at us and I just think

you're a success.

Don't you feel

that way?

Maybe it's some

other thing.

Like luck, timing.

Some intangible

thing like that.

It haunts me a little.

I'm gonna get

some more tea. Do

you want anything?

No, I'm good.

No? Okay.

DENNIS:

I explained it to her,

and then she just, like...

Patrick, come on

with that paper!

PATRICK:

I'm good,

I got it!

(ALL CHATTERING)

Okay, it's Tuesday,

"Cold, clear and sunny.

"Qednesday,

clear and warmer."

Hey, hey, hey.

PATRICK:
Hey, give it back!

Let him have it.

Okay, "Thursday, clear.

"Friday, partly cloudy

and colder, and

a clearing on Sunday."

BOB:
Qell, we

need some rain.

Maybe instead of grace,

we should say
