or else.

Or else what?

I'll think of something.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Bye!

Pittman?

Jeremy Pittman?

How are you feeling?

I'm okay.

Good, do you need anything?

Some water, or snacks?

Sure!

What would you like?

I don't know, like...

Steak and fries?

Oh, yeah.

Coming right up.

Hey, Tammy, we would like

a fillet mignon,

and a side order of fries.

So...

Now tell me, are you having

any adverse side effects

to your patches?

No, ma'am, nothing adverse.

I do have a question, though.

Go ahead.

My friend Ashley said

he know a guy

that can control his body

temperature by holding his breath.

Is that possible?

Well, I haven't researched

that, Mr. Pittman,

but I'll look into that, okay?

Let's see... breath...

I'll let you know.

Um, now, what I want to do,

if it's okay with you, is this.

Double your dosage of

the patch you've been wearing.

You just doubled them

the last time.

Yes, but I'd like to up

the dosage to four patches.

Will I be the only person

wearing four patches?

Well, Jeremy,

we find you a particularly

meaningful subject

for our purposes.

What do you mean?

It's rare for a male

of your age, race

and economic status

to volunteer for tests

at our offices.

It is.

Dr. Merton, you care

about me, right?

Let me be honest.

Some of the results

we are getting

from your tests...

Well, they're different than

what we expect, in a good way.

What's in it for me?

Well, naturally, we would

double the amount

of money you receive.

Can I still go swimming

with the patches on?

Yes, you can go swimming

with the patches on.

Just keep living your life

the way you normally would.

All right.

If I start feeling worried,

I'mma rip them right off.

That would be

completely understandable.

It's been a long time

since I've been

in one of these rooms.

I'm sorry the desks

are so small.

Aw, these desks are cool.

Let me see

if I can still fit in them.

Yeah. Here you go.

Mr. Carlos, how long

do you think this will take?

Jeremy said you were

really good at this.

Well, that depends.

On how much you put into it,

and where you are

at your skill level.

You know the alphabet, right?

Really?

Yeah. Do you know it?

All right, Mr. Carlos,

I want to say this upfront,

I am not stupid.

I don't expect to be treated

like I am stupid.

I can read, I can write,

I can do all the things

I need to do to survive.

Let me just hear you say them.

It'll be a good warm up.

Get your brain

in the mood to learn.

T-f-z-a-o-c-m-x

b-l-j-e-n-g-u-i-p

h-y-w-k-2-d-v-o-s.

Is that the only order

you know it in?

I mean, it doesn't matter any

order, 'cause I know the letters.

Let me hear it again.
