ALICIA: Remember, be assertive.

Look at him straight in the eyes.

NOODLES: But not for too long, or else it gets creepy.

I've learned that lesson many times.

KAYLYN: [laughs]

MAX: Guys, we don't have time to worry.

KAYLYN: That's the spirit! We got this!

MAX: Let's do this!

NOODLES: I, uh... think it's a "push."

MAX: [whispered] Ah, yeah.

Thank you.

KAYLYN: Whoa... ALICIA: Wow...

KAYLYN: Whoa, this is amazing!

TRACEY: Can I help you?

MAX: Hello there.

We are contemporaries of Mr. Hedges.

Fellow inventors. TRACEY: Uh‐huh.

MAX: I'm Max Graham, entrepreneur and visionary.

We're here for a tete‐a‐tete, if you will.

TRACEY: I will not.

Mr. Hedges is an extremely busy man who doesn't have time

for your children's games.

WILL: Who is ready to play some basketball?!

Woo! This guy!

MAX: Mr. Hedges, it's me, Max!

WILL: What? MAX: From InventiveCon?

You gave me your card.

WILL: Robot‐arm. MAX: Yeah!

Hi! I'm a huge fan.

WILL: Well, that is sweet.

Tracey, get these kids some free T‐shirts or something.

MAX: Uh, actually, Mr. Hedges,

I was hoping we could talk about where your ideas come from,

what innovation means to you...

basically how you're such a genius.

WILL: Uh‐huh. Hey, do you play basketball?

MAX: Sure, I do. WILL: Tell you what.

Come by for a game this Friday.

MAX: Wow. I, I'd love to do that.

Yeah, I'm, I'm great at basketball.

Amazing! Wow, I'm good!

ALL: [sighing]

KAYLYN: Okay, guys, huddle up.

MAX: True. So we have to make me

ALICIA: I can't believe you told him you were good at basketball.

You are... not.

NOODLES: Nope.

KAYLYN: You're kind of... the worst.

NOODLES: Yup. KAYLYN: You always have been.

NOODLES: You're truly awful at it.

MAX: Okay, okay! So I'm terrible at this.

What do we do?

NOODLES: You only have to score a few points, let him win,

KAYLYN: Can we get out of this huddle now?

Noodles is really sweating on me.

NOODLES: Sweat is just your body's sign that it's working,

I pown at BasketJam.

VIDEO GAME: Slam dunk!

NOODLES: Nice move!

ALICIA: He really is good at this.

ALICIA: It's like night and day. [video game sound]

KAYLYN: But the targeting system over the basket

does make it a lot easier.

NOODLES: The shot‐power meter is useful too.

VIDEO GAME: Slam dunk!

MAX: These skills must transfer somehow.

KAYLYN: They don't. At all.

ALICIA: But what if we could make real‐life basketball

more like BasketJam? [video game sound]

MAX: Ooh, yeah!

We could build a HUD!

Like a heads‐up display... for basketball.

KAYLYN: And you could take all the info you need

and put it on a visor.

ALICIA: And adapt the video game code

to create a targeting system?

It's totally doable.

NOODLES: Sounds like a slam dunk to me.

NOODLES: Max, I love ya, buddy...

but you're bad at this. MAX: I know.

NOODLES: Like really, really bad.

Yes. I do.

It's super expensive.

So we have to be careful with it...

or I can't go home.

Like, ever.

ALICIA: When I'm done, we'll replace the OS

with Max's new virtual coach.

It's amazing! It's like I'm in the game!

Now someone throw me the ball!

ALICIA & KAYLYN: Yes!

I have something for you.

MAX: Are these...

KAYLYN: My RF‐55s.

The jewel of my collection.

MAX: These were your entire Christmas gift last year.

You haven't worn them yet?

KAYLYN: Worn them ? Are you insane?

These are mint.

I just like to look at them, you know?

Ah, that "new shoe" smell!

I want you to wear them.

For luck. MAX: Wow, Kaylyn...

Thank you.

Maybe just... one last sniff?

Okay.

Go get 'em.

ZEKE: Hello, friends.

KAYLYN: Hey! ZEKE: I have good news.

KAYLYN: What is it?

ZEKE: I just came into some cash thanks to my Aunt Sue.

NOODLES: Cool! Why did she give you money?

ZEKE: Probably 'cause it's my birthday.

ALICIA: It's your birthday?

And you never told us?

ZEKE: It's just another day.

I didn't really accomplish anything other than stay alive.

Whoop‐de‐doo, right?

KAYLYN: Well... happy birthday!

NOODLES: So...

How much money did you make?

ZEKE: I think it's tacky to talk about money.

Let's just say it's a tidy sum.

She usually gives me a couple bucks

and a sloppy kiss on the cheek,

but this year she's in Florida and sent a nice cheque

to make up for it.

ALICIA: Wow, Zeke. You're rich!

What are you gonna spend it on?

ZEKE: I'm weighing options.

I'm still very much in the ideas stage.

ALICIA: Well, if you're open to ideas,

I've got a few. KAYLYN: Me too.

An hour?

I'll give you an hour.

MAX: Did you know Will Hedges was the CEO of his own company

before he could even drive?

HELEN: Yeah.

You just told me five minutes ago.

MAX: Well, he was the first person ever to put a smoothie

in a jar and bring it to work. Can you imagine?

Just, just walk into the office,

"Ooh, I'm hungry for a very healthy, tasty morning snack!"

[gasps] "What's this?"

[slurps] "Delicious!"

HELEN: [laughs] Okay.

MAX: What? HELEN: Nothing.

MAX: What ?

HELEN: Just be careful, that's all.

You might have his Wikipedia page memorized,

but you don't really know this guy.

MAX: Mom, please.

HELEN: I mean, when was the last time

he actually invented something?

MAX: Four years ago.

He made sticky tack even stickier and more blue.

HELEN: And then what?

MAX: Nothing yet.

But I'm sure he's got something up his sleeve.

He's Will Hedges!

HELEN: [laughs] Okay...

ALICIA: Hello, Zeke.

As you know, all our work is done from this humble garage.

ZEKE: It is drab, isn't it?

ALICIA: We do the best we can with what we have.

But imagine what we can design and build with...

this new 3D printer!

ZEKE: I'm listening.

ALICIA: We can print anything, you guys!

Laptop loses a key? Print a new one.

Lose your house key? Print a new one.

Lose a toe? Print a new one!

Anything you can possibly imagine.

ZEKE: You had me at "new toe." ALICIA: Yes!

ZEKE: I can safely say so far, you're in the lead.

The bar has been set high.

New‐toe high.

This is a very nice brochure. ALICIA: Thank you.

MAX: Mr. Hedges, thanks so much for having me here!

This is the coolest thing I've done.

You're gonna love TrollJammer, okay?

Basically, we're just trying to make the internet a better place

and stuff, you know? This is huge...

This, this moment is huge for me.

WILL: Huh?

MAX: Oh, I was just saying that‐‐

ZEKE: So, your pitch is...

KAYLYN: Sun, sand, and surf.

Corporate burn‐out is real.

To get our minds energized and our output high,

we need a break!

Your money could take the whole team on a relaxing getaway

to the luxurious Kukui Hamalala‐Loey

all‐inclusive resort in beautiful Hawaii.

You're in the running with the toe printer.

"Nonstop buffet."

And just two more, real quick:

"Bon appetit."

WILL: That was impressive, Max.

No 12‐year‐old has ever beaten me on my own court.

MAX: Thanks.

WILL: How does this basketball head thing work, exactly?

Some sort of augmented reality?

MAX: No. It's game‐based.

using codes from BasketJam.

WILL: The military would love this thing.

MAX: What? WILL: And you've...

patented this? MAX: Nope.

We put this prototype together for fun.

WILL: So, you have no proprietary claim

on this invention whatsoever?

MAX: I guess not.

Kaylyn usually does the paperwork.

Noodles tests it out for bugs.

And Alicia...

What are you doing?

WILL: Just sending a quick email.

So, you said you guys have some other ideas?

Uh, TrollZammer, was it?

MAX: TrollJammer, actually. [email sent sound]

Compromise, or lose.

not choosing a choice at all.

Sick burn! [laughs]

Sorry. Very impactful.

BRAD: We are business associates at best.

MAX: How did we make the SWISH?

Alicia's engineering skills, Noodles' creative ideas,

Kaylyn's attention to detail, and my...

well, my lack of basketball skills.

I'm usually more useful than that.

The point is we did it together.

WILL: Beautiful story, but my lab rats are reverse engineering

our own SWISH as we speak.
