Let's see.

Box 15 announces competition for
New firefighting innovations.

So, what's the big secret?

It's a cash prize.

Yeah.

250 bucks.

I figure we can
Win that 250 bucks.

You wanna know how?

Yeah.

You know that spanner clip
We were thinking about making?

I figure I'll-- hi, chet.

Hi, john.

Hi, roy.

Bye, chet.

Hm.

You guys, uh, see that
Notice about the contest?

Now, you're not talking
About entering that, are you?

Listen, uh, remember I
Was telling you about that

Collapsible yellow jacket trap?

That's a good idea.
You should submitted.

Yeah, well, that was
Marketed last year.

But don't worry.

I got hundreds of them.

Look there's no way
He's going to come

Up with a better idea than us.

[alarm]

Intercom: station 51, engine
41-- reported vehicle collision

And fire, 1900 south
Broad street, cross-street

Washington-- 1900 south broad.

Time out, 11:35.

Station 51, bmg365.

[honking]

[sirens]

[sirens]

One inch and a half!

You got this?

I'll take the other one.

[panting]

[panting]

Ok, easy.

Help me.

I can't-- I can't--
I can't breathe.

Easy now.

Cap, we've got a head injury.

I'm going to need a vacuum
Splint and a backboard.

Michael, a vacuum splint
And a backboard, please.

John, can you find his manifest?

I don't see it anywhere, cap.

Roy: captain!

We have a punctured
Jugular down here!

Why don't you
Go help roy, huh?

Ok.

Ok, easy, now.

Take short, rapid
Breaths, all right?

Short, rapid breaths.

That's it.

Ok.

Marco, let me have that
Vacuum splint first.

Cap!

There's radioactive
Material in this truck.

Tell gage to get air
Bottles, the radiation

Monitor, and dosimeters.

Have mike move our
Engine away from here.

Hey, john!

Get the air bottles,
The radiation

Monitor, and the dosimeters.

Mike, move that engine out!

We have radioactivity!

Get those cars and
People out of here!

Ok, buddy.

Now, we're going to try to
Move you out of your cab here.

So you're going to have to
Help us as much as-- as you can

If you can hear me, ok?

Let's get him
Out of here, marco.

Ok, come on.

Ok, you got him?

Yeah.

There, easy.

Ok, watch his--
Watch his head.

All right, hold there.
Don't move this thing yet.

Let me get out.

Let's move!

[inaudible] In there?

Have a seat.

I put it over her head.

How's the driver?

She's doing better.

All right, get
It over her head.

La, engine 51.

We have a possible
Radiation leak.

Notify engine 41.

Dispatch [radio]: 10-4, 51.
- hey.

Hey, you stay put.

Now, you're going to be ok.

What happened?

She hit me?

I wouldn't know
About that, but you

Sure were in an accident.

Listen, what kind of
Cargo were you carrying?

Accident?

I was carrying
Radiological waste.

Any of it spill?

Well, we don't know yet.

[inaudible], this is squad 51.

Do you read me?

Get dr. Brackett.

Go ahead, 51.

[inaudible], we
Have two victims.

Man about 40 years
Old, woman about 30.

Woman's got a punctured
Jugular, possible rib fracture.

Also, she has
Possible broken femur.

We're using hand pressure
On the jugular vein now.

Vital signs are gonna follow.

Standing by, 51.

Pulse is 120.

Her respiration is at
24, rapid and shallow.

[inaudible] The pulse is
120 and the respiration is 24,

Rapid and shallow.

10-4, 51.

Can you get a bp reading?

[inaudible] We're trying
To extricate her now.

How are we doing?

[sirens]

Ok, let's get her out of here.

Johnny, you want
To get that jugular?

All right.

You got it?

Yeah, I got it.

Ok.

80 systolic, we can't
Hear her diastolic.

She's got a compound
Fracture of her right femur.

She's pale and sweaty and
Her breathing is labored.

Rampart, the female
Victim has a-- a compound

Fracture of the right femur.
She's pale, she's sweaty.

Her breathing is labored.

The bp is 80 systolic but
We can't hear the diastolic.

And on the male, pulse is 110.

On the male victim, rampart,
The vitals-- the pulse is 110.

Respiration is about 20.

Respiration is 20.

51, maintain pressure
On that jugular

Injury and start
An iv with ringer's

Lactate for both victims.

Yeah, 10-4.

Uh, rampart we may also
Have possible contamination

From radioactive material.

51, what does
Your dosimeter show?

All dosimeters
Read zero, rampart,

But we may have had heavy gamma
Radiation discharge before

The dosimeters were issued.
So we don't know.

51, be sure to keep
All wounds covered

To prevent contamination.

Transport as soon as possible.

10-4, rampart.

Dix, get treatment
One and three ready.

Tell mike to set up
Radiation safeguards

For all medical personnel.

Right.

Easy, now.

Easy.

Easy.

All right, easy.

Ok, you got it?
- yeah.

All right.

[theme music]

Joe, you take the male.
Mike and I will take the female.

All right, let's go in three.

- all right.
- got it?

- yeah.
- treatment one.

Hey, dix, be sure that
Everybody gets decontaminated,

All these people.

Doctor: you get a
Hemostat on that vein?

Pretty close in the carotid.

Jamie, I want all wounds
Thoroughly cleansed

And checked with
A geiger counter.

Right.

Any radioactive material
Gets in their bloodstream,

It could be fatal.

Right.

Can you hand me
A wet sponge, gal?

Soon as we get this
Bleeding, stopped,

I want x-rays of the
Chest and abdominal area.

[labored breathing]

In between-- just in between.

And got it.

Wait, I got it.

Good.

One skull series, stat.

You won't get no pictures.

Soaked up so much radiation,
I probably glow in the dark.

There's no evidence of that.

So keep your chin up, ok?

You're alive.

Isn't that all that matters?

But for how long?

The x-rays indicate a 70%
Pneumothorax on the left.

There's no reading.

Good.

She's got enough
Problems as it is.

Kel, the lab report
Shows she's got

A pc02 of 35 her p02 is at 50.

She's hypoxic.

I think we ought to
Insert a chest tube.

Ok, let's get started.

You need me?

No, go ahead, dix.

Hm, let me spread
This a little bit.

I think she's
Going to make it.

Good.
How about the truck driver?

Well, he's fine except
For a bit of hysteria

About being radioactive.

I'll tell you the truth, I was
A little afraid of that myself.

Yeah.

Hey, good news-- no
Contamination at all.

Just got the call
From the dispatcher.

Well, tell the truck driver.

He probably won't believe me.

Hey, uh, what do you
Say we get out of these?

Good idea.

Chet: what we need is
A fan, not a bellows.

Look, a bellows would give us
A better variable control, man.

Don't you think?

Hi, fellas.

- well, hi, roy.
- hi, roy.

Don't let me interrupt you.

Don't worry.

How we doing?

Not a click.

I don't think there's
Any radiation at all.

You know, I got a great
Idea for the spanner clip.

Let's forget the metal
And go with a canvas.

It's cheaper and
Easier to store.

Ah, look, roy.

I got a better idea.

Why don't we just forget
About the spanner?

It's too simple.

We need something big.

But I've got an
Idea-- a foam bomb.

Foam bomb?

Foam bomb!

Yeah, it's about the
Size of a hand grenade.

Ok, now, picture this.

Now, a fireman rolls
Up to the fire, right?

He pulls a pin.

He throws it in the
Middle of the fire.

Instead of exploding, it
Just squirts out like this,

You know?
It just squirts his foam--

Hey, gage.

Is there something you can,
Uh, take for that, pal?

Maybe some medicine?

Shut up.

He's describing a foam bomb.

Hey, gage, you got to put
A fire out, not blow it up.

What's the matter with you?

Giving our ideas out like that.

Ideas like that are worth
Millions-- billions!

I'm serious!

All right, why don't you
Build a prototype model of it

And submit it if you're
Worried about it that much?

Prototype, huh?

[alarm]

Intercom: squad 51,
Man unconscious-- 3560

Olympia, cross-street carter.

3560, olympia.

Time out.

Squad 51, 10-4, kmj365.

In here, fellas.

I'm aubrey.

I'm-- I'm a masseur.
- I'm roy desoto.

This is john gage.

We're paramedics.

This is mr. Hartley.

I-- I started working on
Him about 20 minutes ago.

He seemed a little
Groggy at first.

I figured he had too much
To-- to drive to go home.

A little while later, he
Went out like a light.

Pulse is normal, fading.

Hey, hey, guys.

I've been-- I've been in
This business for-- for 10.

Years I've never had
Anything like this.

Well, he's going to be ok.

Rampart, this is squad 51.

Go ahead, 51.

Rampart, we have a
Male about 45 years old.

He's comatose with
No apparent injury.

The pulse is 80, the
Respiration is about 24.

Hold on for bp.

Bp is 130 over 90.

Rampart, bp is 130 over 90.

You're sure to tell him I
Had nothing to do with it, huh?

Rampart [radio]: 51,
What was the victim

Doing when he collapsed?

Rampart, he was
Getting a massage.

Maybe a stroke.

Check his babinski.

Gage: temper rampart?

Yeah, it's negative.

Rampart, the
Babinski is negative.

Ok, 51.

Give him oxygen
And start an ivd5w.

Transport immediately.
Gage: 10-4, rampart.

I'll get the o2.

Gage: right.

Did he, uh, complain of
Anything before he collapsed?

Uh, was he dizzy or anything?

No, no, ju-- just like I said!

He seemed a little
Groggy and-- and he

Complained of a headache.

And-- and I said miss-- mr.
Harley, get up on that table.

A massage will relax you
Quicker than that stuff.

What stuff?

Booze.

He-- he had a couple
Before he came down.

Well, where did he get it?

The-- the-- the bar upstairs.

It's right over here.

Look, see?

He was drinking this.

Yeah.

Uh, mr. Aubrey, do you
Have a bottle or anything

That I can put this in?

I'd like to take
It back with me.

Yeah, sure.

I got one over here.

Ok, thank you.

Roy, he was drinking.

He's going to put some
Of that in a bottle

So we can take it with us.

All right.

Be sure to tell him I have
Nothing to do with it, huh,

Guys?

We believe you.

[sirens]

What are the vitals?

Blood pressure is
Still 130 over 90.

Pulse is 80.

Respiration is 12.
Everything's normal.

Except he won't wake up.

Put your finger on this.

There's no
Evidence of increased

Intracranial pressure.

I got the blood gas sample.

Get this to lab one.

Certainly looks neurological.

We can't be certain
Without tests.

Think we'd better
Get him transferred

To the intensive care ward.

How about a spinal tap?

We'll wait a couple of hours.

If he doesn't improve by 7:00,
We'll do a lumbar puncture

And a nanometric study.
Hey, johnny.

Where's that stuff you
Said he was drinking?

Oh, right here.

Smells like vermouth.

Dix, would you have this
Analyzed right away?

Oh, and we get in touch
With mr. Hartley's family.

Did you say they're
From out of state?

Yeah, boston.

Uh, doc, you need me anymore?

Early: no, go ahead.

Oh, doc.

About 10 minutes
Before he collapsed,

He-- he said he was groggy
And he had a headache.

A headache?

Mm-hm.

Ok, thanks, johnny.

We're going to
Need a skull series.

How's he sound?

Just the same.

He's been here for
Six hours and still

Haven't gained consciousness.
- all these lab reports.

[inaudible] Cells.

There's a dramatic rise in
His bilirubin and creatinine.

Yeah.

Looks like liver
And kidney failure.

Also, there's a definite
Decrease in his urine output.

I think we should start him
On neomycin, 250 milligrams,

Four times daily.

Joe, have you got any
Idea what's wrong with him?

Well, there's
No spinal injury.

In fact, I don't think the
Problem is neurological at all.

So our treatment's got
To be supportive until we

Find out what's wrong with him.

I just don't know.

His wife's flying
In from boston

And I sure wish I
Knew what to tell her.

Early: mrs. Hartley,
I'm dr. Early.

Dr. Early?

Doctor, what happened to clare?

What's wrong?

I can't tell you.

He collapsed this afternoon.

But we know that
Something is affecting

His kidneys and liver.

It was too early to tell.

I warned him not to
Come to los angeles.

Everybody knows how
Bad the air is here.

I don't think that's the
Cause, mrs. Hartley, this time.

We have your husband's
Medical history.

Would you mind if I ask
You a few questions?

Oh, no, of course not.

Anything.

Has your husband
Been ill lately?

I mean, something he hasn't
Told his doctor about.

Oh no, he's-- he's under
A great deal of strain,

But it's his business.

I mean, clare is never ill.

Has he used drugs?

I mean, drugs other
Than those indicated

On his medical records.

Oh, of course not!

You must be tired
From your trip.

Do you have a place to stay?

Yes, clare's partner
Lives in los angeles.

I can stay there.

If you leave the
Number, I'll let you know

As soon as there's any change.

In the meantime, please don't
Worry because your husband

Is in the best of care, ok?

Thank you, doctor.

Now, once the fans
Starts pushing the air

Through the cooling
Veins, then we chill

The air to 10 minus degrees.

Then, we blow the air out
Through the [inaudible].

And it'll snuff out a
Fire just like that.

You mean, you guys think
You can just blow up fires

Like birthday candles, yeah?

With a bigger model, yeah.

Liquid helium is
A cooling agent.

Airstream four feet wide.

Uh huh?

Those guys gave me the
Answer to my problem.

Answer to what problem?

The technical problem
Of my new invention.

Your foam bomb.

No, not the foam bomb.

Not the foam bomb.

That's not commercial enough.

No, my new invention is a net
Made out of nylon cord, right?

Now, it's packed in-- in
Liquid epoxy resin, right?

And it's jammed into a
Tennis ball canister.

Isn't that going be a
Little difficult to construct?

No, not really.

I mean, actually,
My biggest problem

Is the deployment of the net.

But I figure now-- I figure
That if we jam it in there

With pressure, it'll
Just come squirting

Out like a carnival snake.

Yeah, you're going
To build this yourself?

Myself?

Well, what happened to you?

Aren't we partners?

Hey, john!

Roy!

Come watch history
In the making!

Take a few minutes to warm up.

Oh yeah, that'll be
Handy in a real fire.

Well, we have a
Few bugs to work out.

Go ahead.

Marco, let her rip.

Let's see it.

Let her rip, marco.

Hey, you're blowing
It all over the place!

Hey, you're blowing
The fire everywhere!

Will you stop it?
You're blowing it everywhere!

Ok, wait, wait.

Let me do that.

See that?

See that?

Yeah, I see that.

You're blowing the
Fire everywhere.

That's doing nothing, mike!

You're blowing the fire
All over the place!

Well, you better get a hose.
I think they need your help.

Just another bug, huh, fellas?

Oh boy.

Look out, look out.

Move out of the way.

Man: watch out.

What's the problem?

I've got to see
Mrs. Hartley and I

Don't know what to tell her.
- well, how's her husband doing?

He's increasingly
Oliguric and shows

Signs of hemolytic anemia.

You tried mannitol?

Yeah, no effect.

His creatinine is sky high
And so's his bilirubin.

Ah, whatever it is that's
Killing his red blood cells

Is also destroying his
Liver and his kidneys.

I'm beginning transfusions
With packed red cells

And we're starting
Him on haemodialysis.

But until we find out
What's poisoning him,

We can't really
Make any headway.

Dr. Early, may I
See you a minute?

Keep me posted, jim.

Yeah.

I don't know why they
Don't tell you anything.

But I'll damn sure find out.

I don't know why he had
To come to california.

He knows how bad
The air is here.

Dr. Early.

I'm sorry.

This is bill.

Bill ellis.

Mr. Ellis.

Now, doctor, that man in
There is my closest friend

And I want the truth about him.

Mr. Hartley is in a coma.

His liver and
Kidneys are failing

And most of his red blood
Cells have been destroyed.

But we don't know why.
- you don't know?

Look, mr. Ellis.

Sit down.

Perhaps you can help us.

When did you last
See mr. Hartley?

Ellis: we were in a
Conference all morning.

I took a cab home and dropped
Him off at the athletic club

On the way.

Did he seem sick
During the conference

Or during the taxi ride?
- sick?

No, he wasn't sick.

I was feeling lousy,
But clare was fine.

By any chance did
You have a headache?

Yeah, as a matter of fact.

I thought I was coming
Down with a flu.

Could you do me a favor?
Can I have some paper please?

Can you write down
Everything on this pad

That you can about that cab?

We've got to identify it--
The name of the driver,

The name of the cab
Company, destination

Time, arrival, anything.

See, this nylon
Netting see here

Is twisted down into this
Tennis ball canister.

There's a pressure chain,
Remember, up underneath, see?

And then it just shoots it
Right out there, you know?

It just--

Oh no, don't tell me gage
Is going to make a drawing

About this ridiculous thing.

Look, chet.

You're just jealous because
You don't have anything

To enter into the contest.
- ok, pal.

Now, I wasn't going to
Unveil them till they--

Till they were fully tested.

But for you, gage, come on.

Come on, desoto.

[whistling]

Um, gentleman, how
Many times have

You heard about
People, you know,

Being stuck in the
20th floor, huh?

With no lifeline.

Marco?
Mike?

Uh, you wanna come over
Here and get a load of this?

Cap?

Well, no more.

Not with chet kelly
Human fly shoes.

Huh?

Human fly shoes-- that's--
That's incredible, chet.

Yep!

Look, a man with
These on could walk

Up any vertical flat surface.

You know, it's
Possible he might even

Be able to walk upside down.

You tried that yet?

Well, not exactly, but I
Have tested the suction cups

And I don't see any reason
Why this shouldn't work.

- chet?
- yeah?

I don't think
It's going to work.

Oh, is that so?

I tell you, pal.

How about if I walk up that
Wall, walk over the ceiling

And, walk down that door?
Huh?

Will that convince you?

Yeah.

Eh?

Ok.

Now, to unsuction these,
You just sort of roll it

Because the plate
Is curved, huh?

Oh, I see.

Just like that.

One thing I forgot-- water
Under the sanction cups.

I need water under
The suction cups.

Get a hose over here
And give me some water.

Now, see, the important
Thing here is the sponges.

Under each suction cup, there's
A little sponge attached.

And now don't anybody
Tell me there's

Not enough water to fire.

Very nice, not bad.

- ok, you want the water?
- --get the sponges wet.

It's what gives you the--
- you want some water?

Yeah, give me some water.

Ok, that's fine.

That's fine.

Now, see, that gives
It the section.

You get-- make sure the sponges
Are wet under the suction cups

And up you go, right
Up the wall, like this.

Must have put too much
Water under there.

Well, come on!

There's people up on the
20th floor to be saved.

Hey, don't bug me, gage.

When I'm ready to go, I'll go.

Probably got a little
Too much water under.

It's all right.

Here we go.

Well, why don't you rock?

Rock.

That's it, rock!

[alarm]

Oh no, wait a minute.

Intercom: station 51--

Let's go, kelly!

Yeah, cap.

I'm right there, pal.

Intercom: 2380 guava street,
Cross street frontier.

These ridiculous things.

What gave me the idea
To make these things?

[sirens]

Oh, you came so quick!

I didn't have time
To straighten things.

Yes, ma'am.

We got a report there's
A man stuck on the roof.

Oh, you mean my son james?

Part of him is in
The dining room.

Help!

Uh, ma'am?

Uh, how do I get up
There to the attic?

Oh, right through here.

This-- this ladder here?

Yes.

Just a second.
We're going to be right up.

Old woman: james,
They'll save you!

Here.

Old woman: oh [inaudible].

Help me!

I can't get out of here!

Ok, all right.

Just hang on.

We'll get yo out of there.

Put that some place,
Maybe over over.

Old woman: yes, oh,
Are you firemen too?

Yes, ma'am.

We're the-- well, I'm--
I'm captain stanley.

Oh, how do you do?

How do you do, ma'am?

You want to, uh, give me
A hand with this table here?

All right, you hang on.

I'm gonna help you get out.

You got yourself into
A jam didn't you?

[inaudible]

Johnny?

Johnny: yeah.

Hey, uh, [inaudible].

I don't think that
Ceiling is going

To take the additional weight.
You better move back.

Ok, moving back.

Hey, you're not gonna--
You're not gonna leave

Me up here alone, are you?

No, no.

We're just trying to find a
Better way to get you down,

That's all.

Ma'am, why don't you stand
Over here out of the way?

We don't want something
Falling on your head.

Of course.

That's why you wear
Those helmets, isn't it?

Right!

Yes, ma'am.

Uh, cap, what do you say
We take some of the weight

Off the ceiling, huh?

Yeah, marco, there's a step
Ladder in the hall out there.

I was just trying to
Put some insulation in.

You know, for the energy crisis.
Save mom some money.

Ok, james.

Lift your leg up here, try
To take some of the weight

Off the ceiling and I want
You try to stand up, ok?

Yeah, yeah.

All right.

Now I want you to
Try to stand up.

My leg's gone to sleep.

I can't do it!

Marco, why don't you come up
Here and try to give me a hand

Here.

All right, now lift.

Lift.

Hey, hey, hey, hold it.
Hold it.

Hold it.
That's not going to work.

You're just jamming the
Wood right into his legs.

Cap, even if we do
Get him lifted up,

He'll never gonna make
It across the ceiling.

It won't support his weight.

Johnny, is there a way we
Can lower him down from there?

Well, yeah.

There's a beam right
Up above his head.

We can get a line over that.

Why don't we just
Cut around him?

Cut around the leg.

Yeah, I was thinking
The same thing myself.

Johnny?
Johnny: yeah?

We're just going to cut
The ceiling up here around--

Around the leg and then
Lower him down, huh?

All right.

Ok, I'm gonna-- I'm gonna get
You a line and bring it over.

Fireman: all right.
- hey, mike.

We're going to need a
Pike pole, a chainsaw,

And some salvage cutters.

You wanna take
My place up there?

Ok, you got him?
- right.

Ok.

Fireman: johnny,
You ready up there?

Just a sec.

Ok, you can cut it.

[chainsaw noises]

It's all right!
Let's start lowering him down.

Easy there--

Easy, easy.

Ok.

Ok, keep him coming.

Easy.
- whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Easy.

Pushing, pushing.

Try to straddle
Him on the ladder.

Just on the ladder.

Easy.

Ok.

Easy.

Ok.

I'm a cab driver and I'm
Here to see dr. Joe early.

His creatinine and
Bilirubin started to taper

Off and we've been
Able to increase

His fluid intake by 1,000 cc's.
Early: what's his red count?

No change, but at
Least the new cells

Are holding their own.

Early: it could be the first
Signs of improvement we've had.

We can't be sure
Until we know what put

Him here in the first place.

Intercom: dr. Early-- dr.
Early wanted in pathology.

Must be the cab driver.

He's our last hope, mike.

Look, nobody got
Sick in my cab.

I spend 10 hours a day in that
Thing and I never get sick.

You think back three days.

Were you sick at all?

Did you have a headache
Or any flu symptoms?

Like I said, I felt great.

Well, do you carry any
Chemicals or drugs in your car?

Ha, what do you
Guys think I am?

Look, a man is dying and
We're trying to find out why.

Well, when you find out,
Put it in the front page.

Until then, if you guys
Are finished, uh good bye.

Wait a second.

Wh-- what's that
Stain on your jacket?

Well, it's-- it's ink.

It's one of those cheap
Nylon tipped pens.

It looks like you
Tried to, uh, get it out.

Yeah, well, I wasn't
Too good at it, was I?

Just a sec.

What do you do with your
Jacket when you're not driving?

When I got the call, I threw
My jacket behind the back seat

Along with the can, which
Spilled all over the place.

It was just a-- a plain
Can of spot remover.

When did this happen?

Uh, three days ago.

Carbon tetrachloride?

That's it.

Intercom: dr. Alan,
Treatment room three.

Please sit down.

Mrs. Hartley, I think
Your husband's condition

Is beginning to stabilize.

That's wonderful news, doctor!

What was wrong with him?

Well, there were
Carbon tetrachloride

Fumes in the back of the taxi.

Both of you inhaled
Enough to get a reaction.

Well, then why didn't I
Wind up in the hospital?

It's because you didn't drink.

Mr. Hartley had
Several martinis.

You see, carbon tetrachloride
And alcohol have a highly toxic

Effect when they're combined.

How long will he have
To stay in the hospital?

I'm afraid for
A very long time.

He's a very sick man.

Thank god he's alive.

I guess that's all I
Can ask for for now.

Yeah.

Got it.

Uh, the contest
Deadline is tomorrow.

Did you ever finish
Your repoxy net?

No, too many
Technical problems.

What about your foam bomb?

Well, nothing.

How about you?

Fireman: well, I was working
On the prototype for that, uh,

Canvas spanner clip, but
It didn't amount to much.

Yeah?

Right, I think we
Should just face it.

Inventors we are not.

Fireman: oh, yeah,
Speaking of non-inventors--

Did you guys know that most of
The great inventors died broke

Or-- or sometimes in jail?

Is that right?

Yeah, kind of makes
You wonder, doesn't it?

Yeah?

I mean, I think every
Inventor has to ask

Himself one vital question.

What's that?

Is the world ready for me?
