You did that! The whole goddamned generator's on fire! You threw a short on the line! Nikola Tesla:
[visibly irritated]
I set the earth in electrical resonance. Nichols:
You blacked out the whole goddamn town, you son of a bitch! You knocked out the generator! Nikola Tesla:
I sent electrons streaming into the earth at a rate of a hundred and fifty thousand oscillations per second, each pulsation a wavelength of six thousand six hundred feet, and it expands overflowing the curve of the earth, creating a stationary wave that rises and falls on the other side of the planet. I will pay for a new generator. Nichols:
[stunned]
Great. Nikola Tesla:
My expense
