Listen.

Listen. I know you've been 
wanting in on this project 
of mine for some time, and 
I'm honored. Frankly I don't 
know how you heard about 
it. I wasn't planning to come 
up with it for some time yet, 
and at this point you can probably 
tell me as much as I can. I'm 
not offended! Your interest 
is okay. I know you're bright. 

Like a light bulb of a size you 
could see coming from around 
the bend - looming over the skyline 
of average city. I know you go 
around with your ear to the ground,
steering by whatever you can 
get from one of these. 

Taps nose. I get it.

You're a girl. 

That means you have to work 
twice as hard as a woman just 
to not get noticed. When you 
do, people get offensive about 
your age and weight. I know 

exactly what that is. I can tell. 

So the answer's yes. Tell me 
your thoughts on my - our - 
project, and I'll see if it fits 
with anything I kick around
on the sly. It could fly, it could 
burrow in the earth, it could 
go swimmingly - I don't care
it's worth a try. I want you on 
our team. This-

Hey! 

Hey, you - were you there the 
whole time? Heard the whole
thing? I was just practicing my
speech! Yes, for you - who
else? So what do you think? 

I mean, you didn't leave,

right?
