You'll never be happy             at Michael Prince Capital, 533 00:24:24,337 --> 00:24:26,131 because the longer you stay, 534 00:24:26,173 --> 00:24:28,300 the more you'll learn

00:38:39,191 was made for the road. 825 00:38:39,233 --> 00:38:40,985 They weren't durable cars, 826 00:38:41,027 --> 00:38:43,696 so sometimes                  you'd see them in garages. 827 00:38:43,738 --> 00:38:45,197 That really bothers him, 828 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,074 the thought that it might                 happen to his. 829 00:38:47,116 --> 00:38:49,118 So he bought an entirely              different Karmann Ghia 830 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,370 and stripped it for parts             to save the green one. 831 00:38:51,412 --> 00:38:52,997

Who builds something              and then takes care of it. 837 00:39:04,925 --> 00:39:06,635 That's where                     this is coming from. 838 00:39:06,677 --> 00:39:08,804 I mean, he used to take that car          out to these rallies 839 00:39:08,846 --> 00:39:11,515 with whales from              the Stanford Board of Trustees. 840 00:39:11,557 --> 00:39:12,975 They used to try                    and buy it off him, 841 00:39:13,017 --> 00:39:14,727 but he wouldn't sell. 842 00:39:14,769 --> 00:39:17,897 The smile on his face         when he would drive off in it... 843 00:39:17,938 --> 00:39:20,649 pure joy of someone who loved              something enough 844 00:39:20,691 --> 00:39:23,652 to take care of it in a way         that it served him perfectly. 845 00:39:23,694 --> 00:39:25,154 Good. Good. Yeah. 846 00:39:25,196 --> 00:39:26,906 That's just the story                  I needed to hear. 847 00:39:26,947 -->

00:46:20,527 trying to win at all costs. 979 00:46:20,569 --> 00:46:22,905 If this thing is as good for        the world as it promises to be, 980 00:46:22,946 --> 00:46:25,157 they should only be focused              on bringing it out. 981 00:46:25,199 --> 00:46:26,867 And worry about the money, 982 00:46:26,909 --> 00:46:29,661 of which there will be plenty,                   later. 983 00:46:29,703 --> 00:46:31,205 I mean, think about it. 984 00:46:31,246 --> 00:46:33,040 Louis Pasteur's                  first order of business 985 00:46:33,081 -->

00:46:38,962 --> 00:46:42,508 No single person should control          something like this. 989 00:46:43,509 --> 00:46:44,968 There's got to be a way 990 00:46:45,010 --> 00:46:46,637 to take them both                  out of the equation. 991 00:46:47,930 --> 00:46:50,057 Unless the whole thing                     is a setup. 992 00:46:51,850 --> 00:46:54,645 Wendy comes to you,                  you go to the kid, 993 00:46:54,686 --> 00:46:56,605 he gets you                    to swallow the poison, 994 00:46:56,647 --> 00:46:57,940 thinking it's just wine. 995 00:46:57,981

was declared classified 1023 00:48:01,837 --> 00:48:03,046 by the federal government. 1024 00:48:05,090 --> 00:48:06,758 Your patent,                  everything in this office, 1025 00:48:06,800 -->
