These two on top...

Control up and down.

Can I go now?

You can if it works.

Front, back,

left, right.

If you want up down,

you've gotta get another switch.

If you wanna control speed,

I'd spring for a joystick,

you know, and all the stuff

that comes with it.

Lorenzo, this is really great work.

Whatever.

I guess if we can get him

to perform like this regularly...

I'm sitting right here.

Did you want to be

part of the planning process?

Do you really want

to help us work out our timeline?

Okay, great team spirit. Okay.

You know, when we're done

with the timeline,

you guys ought to think

about some personnel

to lift the full-size ROV out of the water,

and it's not gonna be light.

Usually, it takes two guys.

And I'd love to help you,

but we'd all be disqualified.

Did you pay for this with my money?

It's free, Hector.

So you don't mind

if I just play with it like that?

Hey! He ask you to do that?

We're just playing, Luis.

We're just playing, right?

But we're done for now, huh?

What are you doing after school?

Take a good look at this

'cause everything that's on here

is something

that you guys don't have money for.

- What's MIT?

- Massachusetts institute of Technology.

A school full of hims.

Yeah, but you're not up against them.

You're up against all the kids

who will go there eventually.

Probably have access

to more money than you do, so, yeah.

You guys got some ground

to make up, okay?

If I were you, I would start

by hitting up the local businesses first.

Okay, wait. Real quick.

How much can we put you down for, sir?

I'd really love to help,

but advisors aren't allowed to donate.

Big disqualifications.

But I'm sure you guys

will have good luck out there.

No, I'll fix stuff, but I'm not gonna

be that poor kid begging.

All right, look, I get it.

Okay, my last job,

I had to beg rich guys for money

all the time, and you're right.

It does suck, and it makes you feel

all low and pathetic, but you gotta do it.

You gotta put yourself out there

or you're never gonna get the grant,

you're never gonna get the job...

And you're never gonna get the girl.

Like that one?

Really, is that all you guys

think about?

In other words,

she's out of your league.

Yeah, she's out of everyone's league,

thank you.

You should go talk to her.

You guys want me

to go over there and ask her out?

- Yeah.

- Yeah. Go!

Are we looking at a teachable moment?

Sure.

You're so inspiring.

All right.

But remember,

this is gonna be harder than anything

you guys are gonna ask for today.

- Yeah, we'll keep that in mind.

- Okay.

Hey, Gwen.

Yeah.

I need you to slap me. Hard.

Like I said something offensive to you.
