00:00:05,380 --> 00:00:07,048
- Hey, do you have a sec?
- Mm-hmm.
3
00:00:07,048 --> 00:00:08,508
Uh, so we were talking
about something
4
00:00:08,508 --> 00:00:10,051
in my management class
last night.
5
00:00:10,051 --> 00:00:11,511
Did you guys know we're behind
6
00:00:11,511 --> 00:00:13,013
most of the other
auto companies in green tech?
7
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:16,391
We got a slow start on EVs,
thanks to a previous CEO.
8
00:00:16,391 --> 00:00:17,726
Yeah,
my grandfather always said,
9
00:00:17,726 --> 00:00:20,186
"Electric cars are
for European sissies."
10
00:00:20,186 --> 00:00:21,688
And I know that sounds bad,
11
00:00:21,688 --> 00:00:23,356
but he didn't mean people
from Europe.
12
00:00:23,356 --> 00:00:24,524
He meant effeminate men.
13
00:00:24,524 --> 00:00:25,984
I'm pretty sure that's worse.
14
00:00:25,984 --> 00:00:28,570
Well, this analyst was
talking to our class about it,
15
00:00:28,570 --> 00:00:30,905
and she says that every time
a auto company announces
16
00:00:30,905 --> 00:00:33,867
a green initiative,
the stock price shoots up.
17
00:00:33,867 --> 00:00:35,076
- Well...
- Yeah.
18
00:00:35,076 --> 00:00:37,203
We do need
to boost our stock price.
19
00:00:37,203 --> 00:00:39,205
Have I told you about
the sacrifice that I made
20
00:00:39,205 --> 00:00:40,707
- to save your jobs?
- You did.
21
00:00:40,707 --> 00:00:42,000
Oh, no, I just didn't know
if you were there
22
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,002
- when I told everyone, so--
- We were all there.
23
00:00:44,002 --> 00:00:45,628
It was pretty selfless,
so okay.
24
00:00:45,628 --> 00:00:47,547
Well, yeah.
Let's announce it.
25
00:00:47,547 --> 00:00:49,382
What exactly am I announcing?
26
00:00:49,382 --> 00:00:52,218
Say we're investing 2 billion
into EV
27
00:00:52,218 --> 00:00:54,721
with plans
to go completely green by,
28
00:00:54,721 --> 00:00:55,764
I don't know, 2040?
29
00:00:55,764 --> 00:00:57,098
And are we actually
going green
30
00:00:57,098 --> 00:00:58,516
or just announcing it?
31
00:00:58,516 --> 00:01:00,393
Um, both.
We'll put the press release out
32
00:01:00,393 --> 00:01:02,771
now for the stock bump,
and you take all the time
33
00:01:02,771 --> 00:01:04,606

designing your solar wheels
34
00:01:04,606 --> 00:01:06,983

on hot-dog water

36
00:01:08,234 --> 00:01:10,403
- Everyone's happy.
- Does $2 billion--
37
00:01:10,403 --> 00:01:12,072
does that sound a little fake, though,
38
00:01:12,072 --> 00:01:14,074
like Dr. Evil or something?
39
00:01:14,074 --> 00:01:15,825
- Do not.
- Well, you could say
40
00:01:15,825 --> 00:01:17,535
like $1.7 billion.
41
00:01:17,535 --> 00:01:18,870
Oh, yeah. No, that's good.
42
00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:20,330
It'll look like we tried
to reach 2 billion
43
00:01:20,330 --> 00:01:21,331
- but couldn't.
- [sighs]
44
00:01:21,331 --> 00:01:23,124
Oh, my God, fine. Do it.

{\an8}- Oh.
- And we'll be green

{\an8}Well, I'm very happy for you.
82
00:02:32,819 --> 00:02:36,322
{\an8}Like in my last class, there
was an example of a company,
83
00:02:36,322 --> 00:02:37,866
{\an8}- Merlin Enterprises.
- Uh-huh.
84
00:02:37,866 --> 00:02:39,284

00:02:39,284 --> 00:02:40,660

{\an8}that they also wanna make
scrunchems, right?
87
00:02:42,704 --> 00:02:44,080
{\an8}Right, yeah.
Well, I gotta go--
88
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,206
{\an8}It's all made-up.
89
00:02:45,206 --> 00:02:46,708
{\an8}There is no Merlin Enterprises.

{\an8}He really wanted
to get away from you.

00:03:00,263 --> 00:03:01,681
{\an8}Thank you, Dale.

{\an8}- Oh! Up six cents.
- Whoa, hey, hey! Yes.

00:03:07,687 --> 00:03:09,314
{\an8}Hey, we gotta do
a third announcement.
102
00:03:09,314 --> 00:03:11,191
{\an8}We have to.
The stock market is obsessed
103
00:03:11,191 --> 00:03:12,567
{\an8}with us right now,
like so horny.
104
00:03:12,567 --> 00:03:13,985
{\an8}Right, um, I just got a call
105
00:03:13,985 --> 00:03:15,320
{\an8}from "The Wall Street Journal."
106
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,696
{\an8}Good news is, they think
107
00:03:16,696 --> 00:03:18,406
{\an8}that everything we're saying
is super exciting.
108
00:03:18,406 --> 00:03:19,908
{\an8}Uh, no doy,
"Wall Street Journal."
109
00:03:19,908 --> 00:03:21,201
{\an8}I was just about to say that.
I was just about to say
110
00:03:21,201 --> 00:03:22,994
- "No doy."
- But they're also curious
111
00:03:22,994 --> 00:03:26,247
to know specifically
what we're doing in terms of,
112
00:03:26,247 --> 00:03:28,041
- you know, going green.
- Already?
113
00:03:28,041 --> 00:03:29,751
We just announced this thing.
114
00:03:29,751 --> 00:03:31,753
Well, if we don't give them
any specifics,
115
00:03:31,753 --> 00:03:33,129
it'll seem like we're all talk,
116
00:03:33,129 --> 00:03:35,048
and our stock price'll go
back down to where it was,
117
00:03:35,048 --> 00:03:36,925
probably lower, actually.
118
00:03:38,927 --> 00:03:41,221
Cyrus! Get in here!
119
00:03:41,221 --> 00:03:43,264
You know, they wouldn't be
doing this if I was a man.
120
00:03:43,264 --> 00:03:44,974
- Holding you accountable?
- Mm-hmm.
121
00:03:44,974 --> 00:03:46,601
You know my office has
a phone, right?
122
00:03:46,601 --> 00:03:47,811
We need to give
"The Wall Street Journal"
123
00:03:47,811 --> 00:03:49,604
some specifics
on the new green initiative.
124
00:03:49,604 --> 00:03:51,564
- What do you got so far?
- The initiative you asked me
125
00:03:51,564 --> 00:03:53,692
to start thinking about
roughly three hours ago?
126
00:03:53,692 --> 00:03:54,984
- Not a whole lot.
- What have you been doing
127
00:03:54,984 --> 00:03:56,194
- this whole time?
- Sorry.
128
00:03:56,194 --> 00:03:57,404
It might take me a whole week
129
00:03:57,404 --> 00:03:59,489
to solve
the global energy crisis.
130
00:03:59,489 --> 00:04:01,241
What if we invest
in some green tech,
131
00:04:01,241 --> 00:04:02,909
like the other companies
we're developing?
132
00:04:02,909 --> 00:04:04,285
Yeah,
that'd show "Wall Street"
133
00:04:04,285 --> 00:04:05,912
that we're serious at least.
134
00:04:05,912 --> 00:04:08,206

an untapped acquisition fund.

- Mm.
- Just give Mama the cash
142
00:04:21,428 --> 00:04:22,721
and Mama will spend it.

Um, let's maybe all just sit
quietly in our offices
146
00:04:30,186 --> 00:04:31,312
for the rest of the day.
147
00:04:36,109 --> 00:04:37,318

from single-use plastic.
151
00:04:42,490 --> 00:04:44,492
So we have meetings set up
with nine start-ups

on EV-related technology.

- Design.
- Coil.

With silicon anodes, we see
higher lithium absorption,

four lithium ions

00:11:11,212 --> 00:11:12,422
At least when people sell
you magic beans,
345
00:11:12,422 --> 00:11:13,548
they don't tell you
they haven't cracked
346
00:11:13,548 --> 00:11:15,592
- the bean technology yet.
- [fake laughs]
347
00:11:15,592 --> 00:11:16,968
So they haven't figured out
every detail.
348
00:11:16,968 --> 00:11:18,261
- Oh, my God!
- Jesus, Jesus!
349
00:11:18,261 --> 00:11:20,263
Wesley, why are you naked
under that?
350
00:11:20,263 --> 00:11:21,848
I thought we all were.
351
00:11:21,848 --> 00:11:24,601
Hey, guys. Take a seat.
352
00:11:24,601 --> 00:11:29,773
So now you have seen
the Sandbox revolution.
353
00:11:29,773 --> 00:11:33,860
We here at Sandbox believe
that we can no longer afford
354
00:11:33,860 --> 00:11:36,613
to keep our heads in the sand.
355
00:11:36,613 --> 00:11:39,199
Chase,
I don't need the whole pitch.
356
00:11:39,199 --> 00:11:41,743
Truth is, I think
your technology is a little,
357
00:11:41,743 --> 00:11:44,496
um, hmm--what is the word
that I am looking for?
358
00:11:44,496 --> 00:11:46,164
- Bogus?
- What's a nicer way
359
00:11:46,164 --> 00:11:48,416
- of saying that?
- Hmm. Uh, spurious?
360
00:11:48,416 --> 00:11:50,543
Spurious. Great, spurious.
361
00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:54,339
The tech is spurious, but you
and Wesley are old friends,
362
00:11:54,339 --> 00:11:58,134
so how 'bout we throw you
50 grand for, I don't know,
363
00:11:58,134 --> 00:11:59,469
20%, a million percent?
364
00:11:59,469 --> 00:12:01,262
We're all havin' fun here.
[light laughter]
365
00:12:01,262 --> 00:12:03,348
- $50,000?
- Uh-huh.
366
00:12:03,348 --> 00:12:05,517
Well, um,
367
00:12:05,517 --> 00:12:09,729
thank you for the offer, uh,
but we believe our valuation
368
00:12:09,729 --> 00:12:11,690
to be at 5 billion.
369
00:12:11,690 --> 00:12:12,732
I'm sorry.
370
00:12:12,732 --> 00:12:14,359
I might've gotten sand
in my ears.
371
00:12:14,359 --> 00:12:16,653
Did you say "billion" with a B?
372
00:12:16,653 --> 00:12:19,656
We believe that
with our tech,
373
00:12:19,656 --> 00:12:22,033
we should be able
to garner a significant share--
374
00:12:22,033 --> 00:12:23,785
What tech? You have no tech.
375
00:12:23,785 --> 00:12:26,663
You have the idea
of batteries made out of sand,
376
00:12:26,663 --> 00:12:28,456
which is really just
a couple letters away
377
00:12:28,456 --> 00:12:30,250
from batteries made out
of farts.
378
00:12:32,043 --> 00:12:34,504
Well...
379
00:12:34,504 --> 00:12:36,006
thank you for your interest.
380
00:12:36,006 --> 00:12:38,049
Well, thank you so much
for showing us around.
381
00:12:38,049 --> 00:12:40,468
This has been hilarious,
382
00:12:40,468 --> 00:12:43,513
and I wish you the best of luck
in prison.
383
00:12:43,513 --> 00:12:45,432
So embarrass me in front
of my friend--
384
00:12:45,432 --> 00:12:46,975
was that always your plan or...
385
00:12:46,975 --> 00:12:48,601
Of course not, Wesley.
386
00:12:48,601 --> 00:12:50,228
At least not initially.
387
00:12:50,228 --> 00:12:53,690
Hey, um,
can I have your email?
388
00:12:53,690 --> 00:12:56,276
Oh, I would,
but I don't have email.
389
00:12:56,276 --> 00:12:57,819
[laughs]
390
00:12:57,819 --> 00:13:00,363
Oh, I just--this is just--
I check the weather on this.
391
00:13:00,363 --> 00:13:02,699
- That's just for my weather.
- Oh, okay.
392
00:13:02,699 --> 00:13:04,826
Well, I'm sorry
it didn't work out.
393
00:13:04,826 --> 00:13:06,828
I felt a real connection
with you,
394
00:13:06,828 --> 00:13:09,122
way more
than with the Tesla people.
395
00:13:09,122 --> 00:13:12,709
With the Tes--Tesla.
396
00:13:12,709 --> 00:13:14,878
Huh.
397
00:13:14,878 --> 00:13:16,838
Bet you would've invested
if Cyrus had asked you to.
398
00:13:16,838 --> 00:13:19,257
- Cyrus knows things.
- It's true. I do.
399
00:13:19,257 --> 00:13:20,925
And this place
is super sketchy.
400
00:13:20,925 --> 00:13:23,219
Yeah, I can't believe Tesla's
looking at them.
401
00:13:23,219 --> 00:13:25,013
How do you know Tesla's
looking at them?
402
00:13:25,013 --> 00:13:26,890
The creepy engineer told me.
403
00:13:26,890 --> 00:13:29,309
Weird, Tesla usually has
pretty good instincts
404
00:13:29,309 --> 00:13:30,268
about this stuff.
405
00:13:30,268 --> 00:13:31,686
Tesla?
406
00:13:31,686 --> 00:13:32,812
Hmm.
407
00:13:32,812 --> 00:13:34,981
And that's--that--
that's interesting.
408
00:13:42,113 --> 00:13:43,114
Why would Tesla be interested
in them?
409
00:13:44,074 --> 00:13:45,450
Even if they checked them out,
410
00:13:45,450 --> 00:13:46,576
that doesn't mean they thought
it was worth anything.
411
00:13:46,576 --> 00:13:47,952
Can you find out
what the deal is?
412
00:13:47,952 --> 00:13:49,621
You think Chase is gonna tell
me anything
413
00:13:49,621 --> 00:13:50,997
after the way you insulted him?
414
00:13:50,997 --> 00:13:52,248
Well, if Tesla's looking
at them,
415
00:13:52,248 --> 00:13:53,667
maybe other companies are too?
416
00:13:53,667 --> 00:13:56,002
[gasps]
I used to date a guy at GM.
417
00:13:56,002 --> 00:13:57,337
I could do some fishing.
418
00:13:57,337 --> 00:13:58,380
Okay, great. Call him.
419
00:13:58,380 --> 00:13:59,756
Does anyone know someone
at Ford?
420
00:13:59,756 --> 00:14:01,800
I actually had an on-again,
off-again thing
421
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,718
- with a guy there.
- Oh. Call them too.
422
00:14:03,718 --> 00:14:05,762
Um, anyone know anyone
at Chrysler?
423
00:14:05,762 --> 00:14:07,138
Throuple that went south.
424
00:14:07,138 --> 00:14:09,557
- Ooh, I'll try him.
- How 'bout Volvo?
425
00:14:09,557 --> 00:14:10,975
Not into Swedes, got it.
426
00:14:10,975 --> 00:14:12,727
I know a VC guy
I could check with.
427
00:14:12,727 --> 00:14:14,396
He usually knows
if something has buzz.
428
00:14:14,396 --> 00:14:15,647
I can call
my hedge-fund friend.
429
00:14:15,647 --> 00:14:16,981
We met in business school,
not a throuple.
430
00:14:16,981 --> 00:14:18,733
- No need to slut-shame.
- I can see if the analyst
431
00:14:18,733 --> 00:14:20,068
who spoke to my class has heard
of 'em.
432
00:14:20,068 --> 00:14:21,695
I could reach out
to the "Journal" reporter.
433
00:14:21,695 --> 00:14:23,113
I'll call them.
I need you to see what else
434
00:14:23,113 --> 00:14:24,447
you can squeeze out
of that engineer.
435
00:14:24,447 --> 00:14:25,532
- He's into you, right?
- You want me
436
00:14:25,532 --> 00:14:27,117
to whore myself out
to the weirdo?
437
00:14:27,117 --> 00:14:28,451
Flirt with him.
I'm not saying you should
438
00:14:28,451 --> 00:14:29,869
[bleep] him.
I mean, unless there was
439
00:14:29,869 --> 00:14:31,037
- a connection and you're into--
- Ew.
440
00:14:31,037 --> 00:14:32,747
Jeff Bezos used
to look like a dork,
441
00:14:32,747 --> 00:14:34,916
and now he's a billionaire
with a Jason Statham vibe.
442
00:14:34,916 --> 00:14:37,252
Okay?
You could do way worse.
443
00:14:37,252 --> 00:14:39,170
[upbeat music]
444
00:14:39,170 --> 00:14:40,922
David, how are you?
445
00:14:40,922 --> 00:14:42,340
Why are you calling, Cyrus?
446
00:14:42,340 --> 00:14:43,758
I've just missed you.
447
00:14:43,758 --> 00:14:46,177
I was thinking about that week
we spent at the beach.
448
00:14:46,177 --> 00:14:47,929
Oh, speaking of beaches,
449
00:14:47,929 --> 00:14:50,015
has GM been talking
to a company called--
450
00:14:50,015 --> 00:14:52,058
Sandbox?
No, that doesn't ring a bell.
451
00:14:52,058 --> 00:14:53,560
It's probably nothing.
I'm just doing
452
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,353
- my due diligence.
- Well, I could ask around
453
00:14:55,353 --> 00:14:56,813
- and call you back.
- Great, thanks.
454
00:14:56,813 --> 00:14:59,774
I'm 99% sure
that they're scam artists, so--
455
00:14:59,774 --> 00:15:01,776
They're gonna be huge.
They got this game-changing
456
00:15:01,776 --> 00:15:04,612
technology, but I need to know
if there's competition.
457
00:15:04,612 --> 00:15:05,655
All right,
thanks for the tip.
458
00:15:05,655 --> 00:15:07,615
No, no.
I'm not giving you a tip.
459
00:15:07,615 --> 00:15:10,035
Hey, Dustin. [laughs]
460
00:15:10,035 --> 00:15:11,536
Dusty Dustin.

[laughs] No, that's not--
462
00:15:13,329 --> 00:15:14,622
What are you doin' here?
463
00:15:14,622 --> 00:15:17,417
I just felt like I wanted
to see you again,

00:15:17,417 --> 00:15:19,502
Big D.
465
00:15:19,502 --> 00:15:21,963
No, it's been way too long
since we talked.
466
00:15:21,963 --> 00:15:23,298
That's what happens
when you ghost someone.
467
00:15:23,298 --> 00:15:25,258
I didn't ghost.
I told you I didn't love you
468
00:15:25,258 --> 00:15:26,509
and then ended contact.
469
00:15:26,509 --> 00:15:27,802
When you spoke
to our class, you said
470
00:15:27,802 --> 00:15:29,137
we can call you with questions?
471
00:15:29,137 --> 00:15:30,555
Can I ask you
about one company?
472
00:15:30,555 --> 00:15:31,973
Sandbox?
Is anyone at the "Journal"
473
00:15:31,973 --> 00:15:33,266
- writing about them?
- Why?
474
00:15:33,266 --> 00:15:34,309
Are you guys making a play?
475
00:15:34,309 --> 00:15:35,977
I'm asking you the questions.
476
00:15:35,977 --> 00:15:38,146
You know that's not how
newspapers work, right?
477
00:15:38,146 --> 00:15:40,190
It was kind of hot before
when you were talking to me
478
00:15:40,190 --> 00:15:41,232
about Tesla.
479
00:15:41,232 --> 00:15:42,650
What else do you know
about them?
480
00:15:42,650 --> 00:15:44,152
They're an automotive
and energy company

00:15:44,152 --> 00:15:47,739
founded in July 2003
in San Carlos, California,

Stop it.
You're so funny, Dustin.

- Yup.

What is going on with him?

00:15:57,415 --> 00:15:59,501
And then he was asking me
about some battery company.

Me too. Sandbox.

I know some of those are
the same companies,
516
00:16:48,967 --> 00:16:50,719
but the point is,
they could've been the answer
517
00:16:50,719 --> 00:16:52,470
to all of our problems
and we missed it.
518
00:16:52,470 --> 00:16:54,889
- Uh, you missed it.
- Is it possible
519
00:16:54,889 --> 00:16:56,725
that we're just buyin'
into the hype?
520
00:16:56,725 --> 00:16:58,143
I mean, you were the one
that said they were trying
521
00:16:58,143 --> 00:16:59,644
- to sell us magic beans.
- Yeah.
522
00:16:59,644 --> 00:17:01,062
And if I remember
that story correctly,
523
00:17:01,062 --> 00:17:02,814
they really were magic beans.
524
00:17:02,814 --> 00:17:05,442
[bleep], we misread
that situation completely.
525
00:17:05,442 --> 00:17:06,943
You misread the situation.
526
00:17:06,943 --> 00:17:08,695
Okay, Wesley, you were right.
527
00:17:08,695 --> 00:17:10,572
Happy?
You were right. I was wrong.
528
00:17:10,572 --> 00:17:12,449
You were wrong.
Oh, I heard it.
529
00:17:12,449 --> 00:17:14,659
- [cell phone buzzes]
- Oh, it's Javier from Nissan.
530
00:17:14,659 --> 00:17:17,245
Everybody's thirsty
for Cyrus today.
531
00:17:17,245 --> 00:17:18,788
Hola, Javi.
532
00:17:18,788 --> 00:17:24,127
Chase, I'd like to apologize
for my lack of tact earlier.
533
00:17:24,127 --> 00:17:25,587
Oh, do you now?
534
00:17:25,587 --> 00:17:26,713
Your vision may have been
too bold
535
00:17:26,713 --> 00:17:28,256
for me to recognize right away.
536
00:17:28,256 --> 00:17:32,218
So how 'bout 200 million
for a 5% stake in Sandbox?
537
00:17:32,218 --> 00:17:34,679
200, that's--that's a lot
of money for, uh--
538
00:17:34,679 --> 00:17:37,390
what did you call us,
a bag of farts?
539
00:17:37,390 --> 00:17:39,934
I think it was actually
a battery made of farts.
540
00:17:39,934 --> 00:17:41,311
Once you get to know her,
that's not even
541
00:17:41,311 --> 00:17:43,438
all that insulting.
That's like a four out of ten.
542
00:17:43,438 --> 00:17:45,940
Well, an hour ago, I would've
jumped at that offer,
543
00:17:45,940 --> 00:17:48,860
but since then,
we have had a flood...
544
00:17:48,860 --> 00:17:50,362
[chuckles] Of interest.
545
00:17:50,362 --> 00:17:52,489
Hedge funds, VCs.
546
00:17:52,489 --> 00:17:55,241
Anyway, thanks for comin' back.
547
00:17:55,241 --> 00:17:57,535
It's been...
548
00:17:57,535 --> 00:17:59,162
hilarious.
549
00:17:59,162 --> 00:18:00,455
[sighs]
550
00:18:00,455 --> 00:18:05,669
If you ever hurt her,
I will kick your ass.
551
00:18:05,669 --> 00:18:08,463
[light percussive music]
552
00:18:14,511 --> 00:18:15,887
While the focus has been
on optimization, the issue is,
553
00:18:17,013 --> 00:18:19,265
in fact, uh, sustainability.
554
00:18:19,265 --> 00:18:21,434
I told you Chase was legit.
You should've listened to me.
555
00:18:21,434 --> 00:18:22,560
And I already agreed
with you.
556
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:23,770
Do you realize
the healthy boundaries
557
00:18:23,770 --> 00:18:25,271
I let crumble all for nothing?
558
00:18:25,271 --> 00:18:26,731
Dustin held his wrist
by my face
559
00:18:26,731 --> 00:18:28,316
for an entire TED Talk,
and it smelled.
560
00:18:28,316 --> 00:18:30,276
- It was a smelly wrist.
- Are we sure
561
00:18:30,276 --> 00:18:31,945
this isn't a scam? If--
562
00:18:31,945 --> 00:18:34,781
in my class, we were reading
about irrational exuberance.
563
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:36,491
[sighs] It's not a textbook, Jack.
564
00:18:36,491 --> 00:18:38,118
- It says the basic--
- We're buds and all--
565
00:18:38,118 --> 00:18:40,495
we're buds and all, but you're
seriously embarrassing yourself
566
00:18:40,495 --> 00:18:42,455
- right now.
- Machine learning can--
567
00:18:42,455 --> 00:18:44,457
Guys, this is amazing,
everything you're doing
568
00:18:44,457 --> 00:18:46,334
- with sensors.
- Uh, you mean AI?
569
00:18:46,334 --> 00:18:47,669
Yeah, whatever. AI.
570
00:18:47,669 --> 00:18:49,421
We're gonna need
to discuss this for a minute.
571
00:18:49,421 --> 00:18:51,214
Sure. Mm-hmm.
572
00:18:51,214 --> 00:18:52,340
We need the room.
573
00:18:52,340 --> 00:18:53,675
Oh! Okay.
574
00:18:53,675 --> 00:18:55,343
Yeah, so we're gonna have to...
575
00:18:55,343 --> 00:18:57,470
[shooing]
576
00:18:57,470 --> 00:18:59,764
[door slams]
Wesley, get Chase on the phone.
577
00:18:59,764 --> 00:19:01,057
- Now?
- Uh, yeah.
578
00:19:01,057 --> 00:19:02,142
I am not gonna lose Sandbox,
579
00:19:02,142 --> 00:19:03,935
and I cannot sit
through another minute
580
00:19:03,935 --> 00:19:06,521
of these nerds
and their stupid, boring pitch.
581
00:19:06,521 --> 00:19:08,023
Sensors this, sensors that.
582
00:19:08,023 --> 00:19:09,149
[bleep] get laid.
583
00:19:09,149 --> 00:19:10,859
[line trilling]
584
00:19:10,859 --> 00:19:13,069
- You got Chase.
- Uh, hey, Chase. It's Wesley.
585
00:19:13,069 --> 00:19:15,989
Look, uh, so Katherine wanted
to make one last try.
586
00:19:15,989 --> 00:19:19,409
Uh, God.
What is it with that bitch?
587
00:19:19,409 --> 00:19:21,327
Hey, Chase.
Kat Hastings here.
588
00:19:21,327 --> 00:19:23,038
Uh, look,
we're upping our offer.
589
00:19:23,038 --> 00:19:25,165
5%, $300 million.
590
00:19:25,165 --> 00:19:26,833
And if you want, we'll throw in
that cute little blonde
591
00:19:26,833 --> 00:19:28,001
that your engineer likes
so much.
592
00:19:28,001 --> 00:19:29,627
[laughs]
593
00:19:29,627 --> 00:19:31,755
Also, I screwed up.
594
00:19:31,755 --> 00:19:33,506
Just assumed you were full
of crap,
595
00:19:33,506 --> 00:19:36,384
and I should've trusted you,
so I'm sorry.
596
00:19:36,384 --> 00:19:37,802
But we wanna be in business
with you,
597
00:19:37,802 --> 00:19:40,055
so if you give us a chance,
we would really--
598
00:19:40,055 --> 00:19:42,349
Still a pass, Kat.
Thanks anyway.
599
00:19:42,349 --> 00:19:44,476
[people talking indistinctly]
600
00:19:44,476 --> 00:19:46,186
Uh, hold on. Hold on.
601
00:19:46,186 --> 00:19:48,021
Uh, Chase, look, man.
602
00:19:48,021 --> 00:19:49,981
We're tired.
603
00:19:49,981 --> 00:19:51,983
We just spent
a long day listenin'
604
00:19:51,983 --> 00:19:55,570
to a bunch
of dumb, smelly virgins
605
00:19:55,570 --> 00:19:57,906
talking about sensors nonstop.
606
00:19:57,906 --> 00:19:59,407
It's AI.
607
00:19:59,407 --> 00:20:01,659
And yeah, maybe Katherine
came off as kind of a bitch,
608
00:20:01,659 --> 00:20:03,328
- but...
- [clears throat]
609
00:20:03,328 --> 00:20:04,829
If you get to know her,
610
00:20:04,829 --> 00:20:07,874
you'll realize that A,
she's also low-key kind of hot,
611
00:20:07,874 --> 00:20:11,252
and B, she's the bitch you want
on your side
612
00:20:11,252 --> 00:20:12,879
because she sticks by you.
613
00:20:12,879 --> 00:20:14,673
No, it's true, Chase.
I don't know if you know this,
614
00:20:14,673 --> 00:20:16,216
but a couple of months ago,
615
00:20:16,216 --> 00:20:19,052
the board tried
to fire this whole group--
616
00:20:19,052 --> 00:20:21,638
M-m-m-my point is,
don't go with us
617
00:20:21,638 --> 00:20:23,056
just because of the money.
618
00:20:23,056 --> 00:20:26,935
Go with us because when
the going gets rough,
619
00:20:26,935 --> 00:20:30,480
we're the ones you want next
to you in that sandbox.
620
00:20:32,899 --> 00:20:35,694
- [all cheering]
- Yeah, to Sandbox
621
00:20:35,694 --> 00:20:37,153
- and to Wesley...
- Oh.
622
00:20:37,153 --> 00:20:38,405
For making it all happen.
623
00:20:38,405 --> 00:20:40,156
In the future,
I am gonna listen to you more,
624
00:20:40,156 --> 00:20:42,492
- or, you know, at least try to.
- Danke.
625
00:20:42,492 --> 00:20:43,910
Oh, looks like
the news leaked.
626
00:20:43,910 --> 00:20:46,079
Our share price is already
shooting up pre-market.
627
00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:47,163
- Whoo!
- Yes!
628
00:20:47,163 --> 00:20:48,748
- [laughs] Suck it, board.
- [laughs]
629
00:20:48,748 --> 00:20:50,917
I'm sendin' our stock
through the stratosphere.
630
00:20:50,917 --> 00:20:52,252
[laughter]
631
00:20:52,252 --> 00:20:53,962
You--you know the board
would like that, right?
632
00:20:53,962 --> 00:20:55,964
- [laughing] Well, yeah.
- Hey, guys.
633
00:20:55,964 --> 00:20:58,383
I'm sorry about being such
a downer about everything.
634
00:20:58,383 --> 00:20:59,718
Don't worry about it, Jack.
635
00:20:59,718 --> 00:21:01,636
{\an8}You know, people make mistakes.
You'll learn.
636
00:21:01,636 --> 00:21:03,680
{\an8}Yeah.
It just seemed so crazy to me
637
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,932
{\an8}that we were gonna give
$300 million
638
00:21:05,932 --> 00:21:08,101
{\an8}to some guys who said they can
make a battery out of sand.
639
00:21:08,101 --> 00:21:10,103
{\an8}[laughter]
640
00:21:10,103 --> 00:21:12,272
{\an8}- [inhales dramatically] Wow.
- Mm-hmm.
