- I'm impressed.
- Yeah?
528
00:19:50,667 --> 00:19:54,193
Well, I realized that
the egg drop was too advanced,
529
00:19:54,193 --> 00:19:57,587
but then I decided to experiment
with another special project--
530
00:19:57,587 --> 00:19:59,328
the egg lift.
531
00:19:59,328 --> 00:20:01,765
And it involves something
they like already-- balloons.
532
00:20:01,765 --> 00:20:03,376
All right, release!
533
00:20:04,812 --> 00:20:08,076
Mr. Morton, ah,
how nice of you to be here.

- Hello.
- You took my helium tank.
535
00:20:10,252 --> 00:20:12,341
I did, and that's because
I wanted you to see us learn

...there.
Yep, mm-hmm.
550
00:20:46,506 --> 00:20:48,072
Well, and then I said
the gaming industry is a bil--
551
00:20:48,072 --> 00:20:49,900
is billions,
like, not millions,
552

which means that--Mr. Hill,

No, no, thank you.
I am fine.

[ Whispers ] See?
What is that guy's deal?

That guy
really gets my goat.

I don't know
what that means,
