Shorty:
But that's not the question you should be asking yourself. Michael Jennings:
No? Shorty:
The question that you should be asking yourself is, why did *you* give up all that money? That's the most bizarre part of this whole thing. 90 million dollars. Nobody changes that much in three years! Okay. All right, buddy. I wanna figure out what you built. All right, let's work backwards. Michael Jennings:
Because-of-winn-dixie-2005/you-dont-have-tell-me-s1/" class="search-link">They told me that I was working on a design by someone named Decker. Shorty:
Decker? Michael Jennings:
Yeah. Shorty:
William Decker? Michael Jennings:
I think so. Shorty:
What I heard was, he was working on something Level 5 for the Feds when they came in one day and they just shot him down. Michael Jennings:
What was it? Shorty:
Consensus was a laser. Michael Jennings:
Why was that? Shorty:
Because Decker's drawings called for a mirror and a lens. Now, the only thing that uses those things is a laser. Some kind of satellite... [Jennings is distracted by a wall television announcing the Lotto numbers] Shorty:
The lens required perfect optics. Uh, the mirror and the neutrino count... I mean, word was, the thing was going to cost 500 billion dollars. Now, who's going to spend 500 billion dollars just to see something? [Shorty realizes Jennings has heard very little of his explanation] Shorty:
What? Michael Jennings:
There's no way I got out of that Extraction Room without the cigarettes and the glasses. I would have never gotten on that bus without the bus ticket. If I didn't have the diamond ring, I wouldn't have followed that kid to Reddy Grant. Shorty:
Right. Michael Jennings:
[excited]
I gave up that money just to make sure that I would pay attention to these items. Shorty:
Why? Michael Jennings:
[whispering intensely]
Because I know what you'd spend 500 billion dollars to see. The future. [Astounded, Shorty looks at the winning Lotto numbers in Michael's hand, and then up at the TV]

That's the most bizarre part of this whole thing
00:00:03.062 --> 00:00:07.079
90 million Nobody changes that much in three years
00:00:08.075 --> 00:00:10.055
Okay my buddy
00:00:10.063 --> 00:00:12.008
I wanna figure out what you built
00:00:12.088 --> 00:00:15.022
All right let's work backwards
00:00:15.003 --> 00:00:18.072
They told me that I was working on a design by someone named Dekker
00:00:18.081 --> 00:00:21.018
Dekker Yeah
00:00:21.027 --> 00:00:23.043
William Dekker I think so
00:00:25.031 --> 00:00:29.002
What I heard was he was working on something level five for the Feds
00:00:29.011 --> 00:00:30.094
when they came in one day and they just shut him down
00:00:31.001 --> 00:00:34.024
What was it The consensus was a laser
00:00:34.032 --> 00:00:36.078
Why was that Well because Dekker's drawings
00:00:36.087 --> 00:00:38.045
called for a mirror and a lens
00:00:38.053 --> 00:00:39.091
Now the only thing that uses those designs
00:00:39.099 --> 00:00:42.999
is a laser or some kind of satellite camera
00:00:42.012 --> 00:00:48.029
Here comes the first number 17 Followed by 44
00:00:48.038 --> 00:00:51.075
The lens required perfect optics Four
00:00:51.084 --> 00:00:54.042
The mirror Twenty six
00:00:54.051 --> 00:00:57.047
So the capital outlay is huge Thirty seven
00:00:57.055 --> 00:00:59.089
Word was the thing was gonna cost Forty
00:00:59.097 --> 00:01:05.031
500 billion And the bonus number is 22
00:01:05.039 --> 00:01:09.098
Who the hell is gonna spend 500 billion just to see something
