You can do... I don't know, sculpture once I have this running properly.

Never done anything like that before, but I could try.

Maybe I should get you some Play-Doh. See what you come up with.

I wanna try this first.

[ never mind he has no idea what Play-Doh is. ]

I'll get to it. Give me a couple of days.

Can do.

I need more projectors. Do you know how annoying it is to order something huge and expensive, just because you need one of the components?

Uh-huh. Whaddaya need?

You know the movie projectors from your time?

Sure. Kinda old stuff, though.

That's what I'm getting at. [gestures at the hologram] This is like that, except instead of being one big projector projecting one big picture, there are many small projecting part of the picture.

Huh. So where do you get them from?

[points at a corner where there are piles upon piles of cannibalized electronics]

[ huffs a laugh ] Say no more.

I need to dismantle three different things just to put one together. It's annoying.

Sure you don't enjoy it a little bit?

It's actual work... not that I mind actual work, but it's a huge change of pace. At home I could've had those bracelets done in an hour and given them a proper tracking system, and... I don't know. Make them work as watches and two-way radios too.

Eh, I've never worn a watch.

You got a phone. It tells you the time.

Don't put it in the microwave, and it tells time. Got it.

Good, you're learning.

It's a process.

[ rubs his forehead a little. ]

Think I'd better be headin' out.

Thanks for dropping by, I needed the break.

Any time. You good?

I'm fine. I'll take a nap.
