Quentin Turnbull:
Magnificent, isn't it? Burke:
It's bigger than a breadbox, that's for sure. Quentin Turnbull:
Do you know who Eli Whitney was? Burke:
I'm a very undereducated man, Mr. Turnbull. Are we talking about Whitney Sr. or Jr.? Quentin Turnbull:
[smiles]
Senior. After he invented the cotton gin and started the Industrial Revolution, he went to work for the U.S. military, and pioneered the use of interchangeable parts, firearms, and explosive ordnance, and fairly well singlehandedly invented modern warfare. So, as an exercise they asked him to design a "superweapon." A nation-killer. And this is what he envisaged, but they never built it, because once they realized its potential, they could not conceive of willingly turning such devastation on their fellow man. But I can. And one week from today... the United States will know hell. Burke:
Cheers!

00:00:15.068 --> 00:00:17.998
Senior
00:00:18.382 --> 00:00:22.001
After he invented the cotton gin and started the Industrial Revolution
00:00:22.187 --> 00:00:25.023

And this is what he envisaged but they never made it
00:00:45.979 --> 00:00:47.409
because once they realized its potential
00:00:47.576 --> 00:00:51.413
they decided that they could not fathom willfully visiting
00:00:51.058 --> 00:00:55.283
that kind of devastation on their fellow man
00:00:57.001 --> 00:00:58.119
