camping with the neighbors,

546
00:39:46,079 --> 00:39:49,125
I want to believe
we're just going camping.

547
00:39:49,169 --> 00:39:50,953
[sighs]

548
00:39:50,997 --> 00:39:53,216
You've already scared away
most of our old friends,

549
00:39:53,260 --> 00:39:55,697
do we have to scare away
the new ones, too?

550
00:40:04,227 --> 00:40:06,926
Why do you think

551
00:40:06,969 --> 00:40:10,190
a man like Jack

552
00:40:10,233 --> 00:40:12,714
wants to be friends
with a man like me?

553
00:40:15,978 --> 00:40:19,373
Thelema's the only thing
I have to offer.

554
00:40:27,250 --> 00:40:29,078
Is that what you really think?

555
00:40:29,122 --> 00:40:32,386
I think you came back here

556
00:40:32,430 --> 00:40:34,693
hoping to bring me to my senses.

557
00:40:34,736 --> 00:40:36,434
[softly]:
No.

558
00:40:36,477 --> 00:40:38,436
I told you I'm okay with it.

559
00:40:38,479 --> 00:40:41,221
I don't believe you.

560
00:40:43,266 --> 00:40:45,399
What do I have to do
to prove it?

561
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,028
Excuse me.

562
00:41:12,165 --> 00:41:14,123
Take a bow.

563
00:41:14,167 --> 00:41:17,518
You were right.

564
00:41:17,562 --> 00:41:21,348
I kept trying to call you,
all weekend,

565
00:41:21,391 --> 00:41:25,265
but it's as if you had vanished
from the face of the earth.

566
00:41:25,308 --> 00:41:30,226
I did, as a matter of fact.
I went camping.

567
00:41:32,490 --> 00:41:36,276
Well done. You got as far away
as you could.

568
00:41:36,319 --> 00:41:40,062
What was the glitch?

569
00:41:42,108 --> 00:41:43,544
That's it?

570
00:41:43,588 --> 00:41:45,111
What's it?

571
00:41:45,154 --> 00:41:48,027
You're not gonna let me have it?

572
00:41:48,070 --> 00:41:50,377
Call me an imbecile
for doing a test fire

573
00:41:50,420 --> 00:41:52,205
when you explicitly
told me not to?

574
00:41:52,248 --> 00:41:54,076
No.

575
00:41:55,774 --> 00:41:57,515
So what made it blow?

576
00:41:57,558 --> 00:42:00,169
Hubris.

577
00:42:00,213 --> 00:42:03,042
And things were going
so well at first,

578
00:42:03,085 --> 00:42:05,784
I decided to try
for the full minute.

579
00:42:05,827 --> 00:42:08,569
We got to 46 seconds,
and then...

580
00:42:08,613 --> 00:42:12,486
everything went up in smoke.

581
00:42:12,530 --> 00:42:16,534
The engine, our credibility,
our future.

582
00:42:20,494 --> 00:42:22,844
This missed Tillman by an inch.

583
00:42:24,846 --> 00:42:27,501
Pity it missed.

584
00:42:29,503 --> 00:42:32,419
How did you
know, Jack?

585
00:42:32,462 --> 00:42:35,553
What did you see
that we didn't?

586
00:42:35,596 --> 00:42:38,077
I didn't see it,
I felt it.

587
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,210
There was something
none of us had thought of.

588
00:42:41,254 --> 00:42:43,082
Something no one's
ever thought of.

589
00:42:43,125 --> 00:42:45,780
Because the problem
didn't exist until now.

590
00:42:49,218 --> 00:42:51,525
But the good news is,

591
00:42:51,569 --> 00:42:55,268
if I was right about that,

592
00:42:55,311 --> 00:42:57,487
then I'm also right
about something else.

593
00:43:01,927 --> 00:43:04,799
We're gonna change
the world, Rich.

594
00:43:04,843 --> 00:43:07,889
We just have
51 more prototypes to go.

595
00:43:10,500 --> 00:43:12,111
How do you know?

596
00:43:12,154 --> 00:43:14,461
I just do. Maybe you'll
take my word for it this time.

597
00:43:14,504 --> 00:43:17,856
Jack, you don't get it.
This was our chance

598
00:43:17,899 --> 00:43:20,206
to get funding,

599
00:43:20,249 --> 00:43:22,643
real funding,
and I blew it.

600
00:43:22,687 --> 00:43:24,471
We'll build another motor.
We'll run another test...

601
00:43:24,514 --> 00:43:26,473
Where?What do you mean where?

602
00:43:26,516 --> 00:43:28,823
We've been kicked off campus.

603
00:43:33,306 --> 00:43:37,615
You're right,
world is changing.

604
00:43:37,658 --> 00:43:40,879
I doubt that we'll have
anything to do with it.

605
00:44:04,990 --> 00:44:06,339
This way.
