Flash Of Genius
|
| 00:00:56 |
On the Maryland Giant, |
| 00:00:57 |
I'm the Fryman in the morning, |
| 00:01:01 |
The Orioles continue to |
| 00:01:04 |
Having locked up the |
| 00:01:06 |
last night in Municipal |
| 00:01:18 |
Excuse me, sir. Can I speak |
| 00:01:21 |
Sure. Go ahead. |
| 00:01:22 |
I'll go back there now. Thanks. |
| 00:01:29 |
Robert Kearns? |
| 00:01:33 |
Dr. Kearns? |
| 00:01:36 |
Yes? |
| 00:01:37 |
Sir, your family's very |
| 00:01:42 |
Why don't you |
| 00:01:44 |
The Vice President asked |
| 00:01:49 |
Yes, sir, |
| 00:01:52 |
You should |
| 00:01:58 |
I suppose I could. |
| 00:02:02 |
Hmm. |
| 00:02:09 |
I'll take that |
| 00:02:12 |
Be careful. |
| 00:02:14 |
That's for my kids. |
| 00:02:16 |
Don't you worry, sir. |
| 00:02:25 |
Scott, you and Louise want to come |
| 00:02:28 |
Well, what about |
| 00:02:29 |
No, I gave my tickets to my kids. |
| 00:02:32 |
Prices where they are, you |
| 00:02:34 |
Hey. |
| 00:02:36 |
Oh, good. |
| 00:02:38 |
How many Kearns kids |
| 00:02:41 |
I can divine it. |
| 00:02:43 |
What Scott here divines is that |
| 00:02:46 |
with ankle injuries, |
| 00:02:47 |
Mmm. You talking |
| 00:02:50 |
Kearns, you probably mean that. |
| 00:02:55 |
I do. |
| 00:03:16 |
As I look out over this |
| 00:03:20 |
I see men from |
| 00:03:23 |
Ford, Chrysler, |
| 00:03:25 |
all under one roof, |
| 00:03:29 |
And it brings to |
| 00:03:31 |
What was it that brought these |
| 00:03:38 |
Father Rooney was good |
| 00:03:41 |
He was great. |
| 00:03:43 |
Can I pinch you? |
| 00:03:44 |
No, dipshit. Mom, make |
| 00:03:46 |
What did you just say? |
| 00:03:47 |
Dipstick. It's an automotive term, Mom. |
| 00:03:50 |
Well, say that one more time and |
| 00:03:52 |
Okay? That's an automotive term, too. |
| 00:03:56 |
Look at this. |
| 00:03:58 |
I turn this thing off, 10 |
| 00:04:02 |
I can't see, either. |
| 00:04:03 |
So you turn it back on, |
| 00:04:07 |
and now the |
| 00:04:09 |
But the wipers |
| 00:04:10 |
You hear that, that |
| 00:04:12 |
Yeah, I hear it, I hear |
| 00:04:14 |
All right, so it's raining |
| 00:04:17 |
But now I can |
| 00:04:20 |
I can't... I can't see anything, |
| 00:04:22 |
Sweetie, turn them on. Right |
| 00:04:23 |
If I don't turn this thing on |
| 00:04:25 |
Turn it on, honey. Please. |
| 00:04:26 |
Look at this! |
| 00:04:28 |
Okay, that's |
| 00:04:30 |
Whoa. All right. |
| 00:04:31 |
Ten thousand engineers |
| 00:04:33 |
you'd think they'd know |
| 00:04:45 |
What are you doing? |
| 00:04:47 |
Oh, I was thinking |
| 00:04:51 |
We blink about every four, six seconds, |
| 00:04:54 |
Really? |
| 00:04:57 |
Interesting. |
| 00:05:02 |
And what are you |
| 00:05:07 |
I'm thinking we should make another kid. |
| 00:05:11 |
Gotcha. |
| 00:05:16 |
Oh, that's good. |
| 00:05:32 |
I'm gonna be |
| 00:05:34 |
Huh? Huh? |
| 00:06:18 |
Spell "giant. " |
| 00:06:19 |
G- I... G- I-A-N-T. |
| 00:06:21 |
Is your name Kathy? Is it |
| 00:06:24 |
It's Kathy's test. Kathy, |
| 00:06:25 |
Puppy. |
| 00:06:26 |
Puppy or science? Puppy's |
| 00:06:29 |
Hi, poop. |
| 00:06:31 |
Six minutes, you guys. Come |
| 00:06:33 |
S- C-I-E-N-C-E. |
| 00:06:35 |
When is |
| 00:06:37 |
Friday. I have to call |
| 00:06:38 |
"Police described the |
| 00:06:40 |
I don't think so today, |
| 00:06:41 |
"... as one of the most |
| 00:06:43 |
What is that? |
| 00:06:45 |
I thought we agreed we weren't |
| 00:06:46 |
Mom, what |
| 00:06:48 |
Honey, good morning. |
| 00:06:50 |
You tired? |
| 00:06:51 |
What time did |
| 00:06:53 |
I don't really know. Are |
| 00:06:55 |
Yeah, fourth grade. |
| 00:06:57 |
No, no. I'll get something at |
| 00:06:59 |
No, they called. |
| 00:07:01 |
and so I can pick |
| 00:07:02 |
Well, who's gonna watch him? |
| 00:07:04 |
Don't worry about it. Eat |
| 00:07:06 |
Bye, kids. |
| 00:07:07 |
See you, Dad. |
| 00:07:08 |
Bye, Dad. Don't use your wipers today. |
| 00:07:10 |
Bob, what? |
| 00:07:11 |
Yeah, I needed |
| 00:07:13 |
Honey, what |
| 00:07:14 |
No, no. It's |
| 00:07:29 |
Good morning, everybody. |
| 00:07:31 |
to the first day of the quarter |
| 00:07:36 |
My name is Dr. Robert Kearns |
| 00:07:38 |
and I'd like to start by |
| 00:07:41 |
I can't think of a job or a career |
| 00:07:45 |
is more important |
| 00:07:48 |
Who designed the artificial |
| 00:07:53 |
An engineer did that. |
| 00:07:56 |
And who designed the gas |
| 00:08:01 |
An engineer did that, too. |
| 00:08:03 |
One man was responsible for helping |
| 00:08:07 |
another man |
| 00:08:10 |
Now, I don't know what any of you |
| 00:08:13 |
but I can guarantee you |
| 00:08:17 |
where you have |
| 00:08:19 |
and it won't be as easy as deciding |
| 00:08:25 |
Everything we do |
| 00:08:28 |
ultimately comes back to |
| 00:08:33 |
Grades count, too. |
| 00:08:48 |
Hi, Jerry. |
| 00:08:51 |
I'm gonna make a donut |
| 00:08:54 |
Mmm, you can't do |
| 00:08:57 |
Can't do what? |
| 00:08:58 |
That's the pause between |
| 00:09:03 |
Can't do it mechanically. You might |
| 00:09:06 |
Oh, probably. |
| 00:09:12 |
No, thanks. |
| 00:09:13 |
Okay. |
| 00:09:18 |
Dennis, stop it. Timmy! |
| 00:09:25 |
Okay, Dennis, |
| 00:09:27 |
To make it pause |
| 00:09:29 |
Good. |
| 00:09:31 |
Well, I guess we could |
| 00:09:34 |
Yeah, except it would be the wrong |
| 00:09:38 |
What do I |
| 00:09:39 |
"Who farted?" |
| 00:09:41 |
Besides that. |
| 00:09:42 |
Uh, look for |
| 00:09:44 |
Yeah. So you do listen. All |
| 00:09:47 |
for a measured, |
| 00:09:49 |
Like your eye, right there. See that? |
| 00:09:50 |
The way it blinks |
| 00:09:53 |
And we could try |
| 00:09:56 |
that responds |
| 00:09:58 |
But then, of course, what |
| 00:10:01 |
Put the ball down. |
| 00:10:02 |
I want you to |
| 00:10:04 |
I want you to solder this, all right? |
| 00:10:08 |
Here we go. Here we go. |
| 00:10:12 |
Yeah, this is hot, this is |
| 00:10:15 |
That's got a transistor and a |
| 00:10:19 |
That's as simple as I can get it. |
| 00:10:23 |
When less is more. |
| 00:10:24 |
Will it work? |
| 00:10:25 |
It works up here |
| 00:10:26 |
We got resistors, each one |
| 00:10:30 |
And each one should work in a wiper |
| 00:10:34 |
Uh, just over there. |
| 00:10:36 |
Of course, there's a thousand |
| 00:10:40 |
Our job is to find |
| 00:10:42 |
And there is one |
| 00:10:46 |
You know, Marconi spent seven |
| 00:10:50 |
Timmy, stop with |
| 00:11:07 |
Well, what do you |
| 00:11:09 |
One, two, |
| 00:11:12 |
Wow! |
| 00:11:14 |
Honey, it's so great. It really works. |
| 00:11:16 |
Two, three, now! |
| 00:11:18 |
That's it, |
| 00:11:20 |
It's alive! |
| 00:11:23 |
It moves! |
| 00:11:25 |
It pauses! |
| 00:11:28 |
It's alive! Alive! |
| 00:11:32 |
What do you think? |
| 00:11:34 |
Let's go out and |
| 00:11:37 |
Really? |
| 00:11:38 |
I'm gonna |
| 00:11:41 |
Thank you, Peggy. |
| 00:11:42 |
You got a little ways to go, |
| 00:11:45 |
Can I have |
| 00:11:46 |
Uh, me, too, please. |
| 00:11:47 |
Sure, if your parents |
| 00:11:48 |
All right this time. |
| 00:11:51 |
You know why I wanted so many kids? |
| 00:11:53 |
Because I had six in my |
| 00:11:56 |
True. I missed that growing up. |
| 00:11:59 |
I think you're |
| 00:12:02 |
Hey. Hey. Listen up! |
| 00:12:05 |
There's 20 million cars built |
| 00:12:07 |
and every one of them |
| 00:12:09 |
Wow! |
| 00:12:10 |
And guess who's gonna |
| 00:12:12 |
Who, Dad? |
| 00:12:13 |
Us. |
| 00:12:15 |
We are? |
| 00:12:16 |
Yeah, we are. |
| 00:12:18 |
I want to toast to the |
| 00:12:23 |
And its board |
| 00:12:26 |
Lou Galin's two weeks late |
| 00:12:29 |
What do you |
| 00:12:30 |
Well, why don't you give |
| 00:12:32 |
Did you pay him? |
| 00:12:36 |
I'll call him. |
| 00:12:47 |
Well, that's the |
| 00:12:48 |
Yeah. |
| 00:12:49 |
Get this, it's also possible to build |
| 00:12:53 |
so that you could adjust |
| 00:12:55 |
Well, why? |
| 00:12:57 |
Well, because it obviously rains |
| 00:12:59 |
Yeah. |
| 00:13:01 |
That's part of |
| 00:13:03 |
What do you want |
| 00:13:04 |
Well, Bob wants |
| 00:13:06 |
So from our end, we just put |
| 00:13:09 |
research and development, all |
| 00:13:11 |
and we also seed the |
| 00:13:14 |
And I could be ready |
| 00:13:16 |
Yeah, it's a pretty |
| 00:13:18 |
if we can nail a quarter of cars |
| 00:13:23 |
Think about it. |
| 00:13:24 |
Just curious, do you have any |
| 00:13:27 |
Inventing, with all due respect, |
| 00:13:29 |
Well, Bob's background's in |
| 00:13:32 |
Gil, Gil, let Bob talk, |
| 00:13:34 |
Right, right. Bob? |
| 00:13:38 |
Well, no actual experience, no, not yet. |
| 00:13:41 |
But, uh... Look, I know I'm |
| 00:13:45 |
I don't have |
| 00:13:46 |
No apologies, Bob. |
| 00:13:49 |
We'll hold his hand |
| 00:13:50 |
It's not gonna be a |
| 00:13:53 |
But so was the kidney |
| 00:13:56 |
Barely alive. What |
| 00:14:00 |
The Kearns Blinking |
| 00:14:04 |
Yeah. Well, I'm not |
| 00:14:10 |
You look sensational, hon. |
| 00:14:11 |
Thanks. |
| 00:14:13 |
You're a little |
| 00:14:15 |
Aren't you? |
| 00:14:17 |
No. |
| 00:14:24 |
Welcome, ma'am. |
| 00:14:28 |
Welcome, sir. |
| 00:14:29 |
Sir? Here you go. |
| 00:14:35 |
Funny, we've never been |
| 00:14:37 |
Oh, yeah. I never |
| 00:14:39 |
Well, start thinking |
| 00:14:41 |
I want to be able to take |
| 00:14:44 |
Okay. |
| 00:14:45 |
No, really. This is a big |
| 00:14:50 |
You gonna quit teaching? |
| 00:14:52 |
You think I should? |
| 00:14:54 |
I think you should take |
| 00:14:57 |
Oh, so you're saying |
| 00:14:59 |
No! I'm saying I'll love you either way. |
| 00:15:02 |
Which is French for |
| 00:15:04 |
Robert! |
| 00:15:05 |
I just want to do |
| 00:15:08 |
You will. |
| 00:15:10 |
Will you love me |
| 00:15:11 |
No. I'll love you |
| 00:15:15 |
I married a gold digger. |
| 00:15:20 |
Oh, I just... |
| 00:15:22 |
They don't want to go to |
| 00:15:25 |
and at least when school starts, |
| 00:15:28 |
And then we've just got |
| 00:15:31 |
but we have fun. |
| 00:15:34 |
Well, ours are up at Harbor |
| 00:15:36 |
Oh, I bet! But you don't go with them? |
| 00:15:39 |
Well, that's the problem. It's |
| 00:15:42 |
Right, Bob? They think it's |
| 00:15:44 |
I don't even think they |
| 00:15:45 |
Mmm. |
| 00:15:49 |
Do you see Robert's eye? |
| 00:15:52 |
No. Do you know the |
| 00:15:55 |
Oh, Phyll, Phyll, forget it. |
| 00:15:57 |
It's such a funny |
| 00:16:00 |
So, it's our |
| 00:16:01 |
and I'm getting ready in the bathroom |
| 00:16:04 |
and putting on my |
| 00:16:05 |
Okay, okay, okay! |
| 00:16:07 |
And Robert's in the next room, |
| 00:16:10 |
Well, I'd never |
| 00:16:12 |
Figures. Bob had never opened a bottle |
| 00:16:15 |
So I had it down between my |
| 00:16:19 |
Cork goes off |
| 00:16:21 |
and I fall back on the |
| 00:16:23 |
I come out and |
| 00:16:24 |
Screaming bloody murder, Phyllis. |
| 00:16:26 |
But it all |
| 00:16:28 |
and he made it |
| 00:16:29 |
Hey, hey! |
| 00:16:30 |
Good evening, everyone. |
| 00:16:32 |
and I'm the guy who leaned |
| 00:16:34 |
And I'm glad I did. |
| 00:16:36 |
I want you to give yourselves |
| 00:16:39 |
we raised $11,000 for |
| 00:16:42 |
Now, let's do some more dancing |
| 00:16:48 |
Hey, let's dance. |
| 00:16:50 |
It's okay, it's okay, come |
| 00:16:52 |
Come on. |
| 00:17:03 |
Hey. Say, Bob. Phyllis, you look lovely. |
| 00:17:06 |
Would you mind if Gil and I dragged |
| 00:17:09 |
Where we can hear |
| 00:17:12 |
Go on. |
| 00:17:16 |
We've got some real |
| 00:17:20 |
Paul, when are they gonna |
| 00:17:22 |
I'm tired of playing |
| 00:17:23 |
I'm on it, I'm on it. I took it to |
| 00:17:26 |
Bob, you don't play |
| 00:17:27 |
Uh, no, no. |
| 00:17:30 |
So, Bob, we got some really |
| 00:17:34 |
we put out for |
| 00:17:35 |
Yeah, it turns out the concept |
| 00:17:38 |
The Big Three have assigned |
| 00:17:40 |
to come up with an |
| 00:17:42 |
That's what they call it. |
| 00:17:45 |
The Intermittent Wiper. |
| 00:17:48 |
No, it's fine. More than anything, |
| 00:17:52 |
Until now, your wiper |
| 00:17:54 |
But they want it. And more importantly, |
| 00:17:58 |
Mercury's been working on one for over |
| 00:18:02 |
So we want to set up |
| 00:18:04 |
Now, Ford is very interested |
| 00:18:06 |
Ford? |
| 00:18:09 |
You didn't mention |
| 00:18:11 |
Are you ready? |
| 00:18:13 |
Wow, Ford. Wow. |
| 00:18:14 |
I don't know. I mean, |
| 00:18:17 |
More consistency. |
| 00:18:18 |
I can assure you we won't |
| 00:18:21 |
Yeah, but should we be showing them ours if |
| 00:18:24 |
Well, that's |
| 00:18:25 |
But maybe it's a good reason |
| 00:18:29 |
I don't know, Gil. |
| 00:18:32 |
Kearns, I'd hate to see |
| 00:18:35 |
We're not gonna let |
| 00:18:37 |
especially after the money |
| 00:18:38 |
We'll just give them a |
| 00:18:54 |
Now, Paul's real |
| 00:18:55 |
In fact, I haven't seen him |
| 00:18:58 |
Well, I got |
| 00:19:00 |
No, I know, know. By |
| 00:19:05 |
Mine? |
| 00:19:07 |
For now. No more |
| 00:19:10 |
Just throw the unit in |
| 00:19:14 |
Sal! |
| 00:19:16 |
Sal here'll help |
| 00:19:19 |
Just tell us what you want, Mr. Kearns. |
| 00:19:22 |
Okay. |
| 00:20:05 |
He'll be here. |
| 00:20:06 |
We're very busy |
| 00:20:10 |
This is him, yeah? |
| 00:20:21 |
Hiya, Bob. |
| 00:20:24 |
Frank Sertin, Vice President |
| 00:20:26 |
meet Bob Kearns, |
| 00:20:27 |
the inventor of the |
| 00:20:29 |
Oh, we'll see. We'll see. |
| 00:20:31 |
It's a real pleasure. |
| 00:20:34 |
All right, Bob, let's see what you got. |
| 00:20:35 |
All right. |
| 00:20:37 |
We want you to do it |
| 00:20:38 |
We've found that the heat can play havoc |
| 00:20:45 |
Right now? |
| 00:20:47 |
Right now. |
| 00:21:01 |
Whoa, whoa, whoa. |
| 00:21:03 |
Bob's real |
| 00:21:07 |
Okay. |
| 00:21:09 |
Okay, Bob! |
| 00:21:40 |
What's going on? |
| 00:21:44 |
Okay. |
| 00:21:45 |
Bob? |
| 00:21:46 |
I don't know. |
| 00:21:52 |
Okay. |
| 00:21:55 |
Bob! |
| 00:21:57 |
Oh, here! It's a fuse. |
| 00:21:59 |
It's the fuse. |
| 00:22:02 |
Yeah, we're good. |
| 00:22:13 |
It'll do that all day, |
| 00:22:18 |
Well, that is... |
| 00:22:22 |
That's good. |
| 00:22:24 |
We call this |
| 00:22:26 |
Variable speed. |
| 00:22:37 |
"Variable dwell. " |
| 00:22:39 |
That is very |
| 00:22:41 |
Gil, how about giving us a |
| 00:22:45 |
Sorry, Frank, |
| 00:22:48 |
He's not doing that manually, is he? |
| 00:22:54 |
Bob? Bob! |
| 00:22:57 |
Uh, would you get |
| 00:22:59 |
They think you might be |
| 00:23:02 |
Well, I am. |
| 00:23:14 |
That is very |
| 00:23:15 |
That is very, |
| 00:23:17 |
I think we should get |
| 00:23:19 |
But I can tell you this, though. |
| 00:23:22 |
it's gonna have to run a |
| 00:23:23 |
under real-time |
| 00:23:25 |
And operate... |
| 00:23:27 |
What's the maximum |
| 00:23:29 |
It's, uh... Two hundred |
| 00:23:31 |
Mmm-hmm. |
| 00:23:34 |
If it operates in the |
| 00:23:38 |
Where'd you get |
| 00:23:39 |
Uh, Case Western. |
| 00:23:42 |
I'm gonna look |
| 00:23:43 |
Sorry, we'd rather not. |
| 00:23:44 |
It's nothing against Ford, sir. I've |
| 00:23:49 |
No problem. |
| 00:23:50 |
But I'll get to work right away, |
| 00:23:52 |
Okay, good, good. |
| 00:23:53 |
Listen, I know that we are |
| 00:23:56 |
Yes, sir. |
| 00:23:58 |
Frank. |
| 00:24:00 |
Dr. Kearns? |
| 00:24:03 |
That's a... |
| 00:24:22 |
Get out of the car. |
| 00:24:30 |
You did a hell |
| 00:24:34 |
Hell of a job. |
| 00:24:36 |
Thank you. |
| 00:24:38 |
I'll see you. |
| 00:24:46 |
Well, there's |
| 00:24:47 |
a good idea and |
| 00:24:49 |
I've had a lot |
| 00:24:51 |
Just nothing that's quite |
| 00:24:54 |
It makes you wonder what it |
| 00:24:58 |
Brains? |
| 00:25:00 |
Talent? |
| 00:25:01 |
Of course, there's a lot of unsuccessful |
| 00:25:08 |
Maybe this is the one. |
| 00:25:11 |
Maybe this'll get you where |
| 00:25:15 |
Yeah. |
| 00:25:17 |
But I don't know. I look at you |
| 00:25:23 |
you're a success. |
| 00:25:28 |
Maybe it's some |
| 00:25:30 |
Like luck, timing. |
| 00:25:36 |
Some intangible |
| 00:25:40 |
It haunts me a little. |
| 00:25:46 |
I'm gonna get some more |
| 00:25:48 |
No, I'm good. |
| 00:25:53 |
I explained it to her, |
| 00:25:56 |
Patrick, come on |
| 00:25:58 |
I'm good, |
| 00:26:01 |
Okay, it's Tuesday, |
| 00:26:04 |
"Wednesday, |
| 00:26:07 |
Hey, hey, hey. |
| 00:26:08 |
Let him have it. |
| 00:26:09 |
Okay, "Thursday, clear. |
| 00:26:11 |
"Friday, partly cloudy and |
| 00:26:16 |
Well, we |
| 00:26:17 |
Maybe instead of grace, we |
| 00:26:20 |
Didn't we just say grace already? Yeah. |
| 00:26:22 |
No, no, that's okay. That's |
| 00:26:25 |
Let's do a little prayer here, huh? When you |
| 00:26:29 |
Dear God, thank you for all the |
| 00:26:33 |
We know in your |
| 00:26:36 |
you managed to create the elasticity |
| 00:26:39 |
If you could see it |
| 00:26:41 |
to, you know, |
| 00:26:44 |
so that we can test the Blinking |
| 00:26:47 |
we'd appreciate it. |
| 00:26:49 |
Amen. |
| 00:26:50 |
Do you think he heard you, Daddy? |
| 00:26:52 |
My luck, |
| 00:26:57 |
Go, go, go! |
| 00:26:58 |
Careful! Dennis, in the |
| 00:27:14 |
And it's working, too. |
| 00:27:18 |
I can adjust the speed, |
| 00:27:43 |
Look at that. |
| 00:27:44 |
Perfect. |
| 00:27:46 |
Hey, hey, hey! Hey, you see |
| 00:27:48 |
Oh, yeah. Look at the driver. |
| 00:27:51 |
He thinks I'm turning the wiper on |
| 00:27:54 |
Look at this. No, no! |
| 00:27:56 |
Look at that, mister. No hands! He's |
| 00:28:01 |
How's he doing that? |
| 00:28:02 |
No hands. |
| 00:28:04 |
How the heck are |
| 00:28:09 |
We got ourselves a winner here, I'd say. |
| 00:28:12 |
Ford Motor Company. |
| 00:28:14 |
What's the deal? |
| 00:28:15 |
Well, he's got it, and |
| 00:28:18 |
And you've gone |
| 00:28:20 |
As close as we could |
| 00:28:22 |
He hasn't actually |
| 00:28:24 |
Why not? |
| 00:28:25 |
He's nervous about |
| 00:28:27 |
Mack, he is a particular kinda guy. |
| 00:28:31 |
Well, whatever. We gotta |
| 00:28:33 |
The marketing department's all over me. |
| 00:28:37 |
What's he want? |
| 00:28:40 |
To build it. |
| 00:28:41 |
He wants to manufacture it? Himself? |
| 00:28:43 |
Apparently, that's |
| 00:28:45 |
Okay, well, we'll deal with that later. |
| 00:28:48 |
Right now we need |
| 00:28:52 |
Okay. |
| 00:28:57 |
Come on in, guys. |
| 00:29:00 |
There you go. |
| 00:29:04 |
Gil, nice to |
| 00:29:06 |
You, too, Macklin. |
| 00:29:09 |
This is |
| 00:29:11 |
Bob Kearns, winner of the |
| 00:29:14 |
Bob, I've been going over the reports on your |
| 00:29:18 |
Have you worked up |
| 00:29:20 |
No. Not yet. |
| 00:29:22 |
Good. And you do want |
| 00:29:24 |
Yes, sir. I want to |
| 00:29:27 |
And we like that. So let's |
| 00:29:30 |
Frank, have you sent a |
| 00:29:33 |
No, Mack, we haven't. Bob's... |
| 00:29:37 |
Really? |
| 00:29:38 |
Now, Bob, you do understand |
| 00:29:41 |
And before we can install any |
| 00:29:44 |
we have to submit it to |
| 00:29:46 |
And that means we're gonna |
| 00:29:48 |
I understand that. And I understand |
| 00:29:53 |
But I thought that, |
| 00:29:55 |
We like to work closely |
| 00:29:57 |
That's... |
| 00:29:59 |
Nothing else would make sense. |
| 00:30:01 |
we have a very close relationship |
| 00:30:04 |
Bob knows that. That's |
| 00:30:07 |
He's right, though, Bob. |
| 00:30:09 |
We're interested in offering the |
| 00:30:12 |
one model next year. From there, our |
| 00:30:16 |
Now, that means we're working |
| 00:30:19 |
So we're gonna need a unit |
| 00:30:23 |
Okay. Yeah, |
| 00:30:26 |
Great. |
| 00:30:28 |
Let's get started on |
| 00:30:29 |
Right, gentlemen? |
| 00:30:30 |
Thank you. |
| 00:30:32 |
I'll get my demo and |
| 00:30:35 |
Excellent. This is what it's all |
| 00:30:39 |
How about that? |
| 00:30:44 |
Now, remember. There's a right way |
| 00:30:48 |
Whatever you do, don't let |
| 00:30:50 |
But what if it is? |
| 00:30:51 |
Hey, listen to |
| 00:30:52 |
Here, you wanna take him? |
| 00:30:55 |
Be very careful |
| 00:30:56 |
The moment they think they got a |
| 00:30:59 |
Here he comes. |
| 00:31:01 |
Just everybody take it easy. Let |
| 00:31:04 |
We'll be fine. |
| 00:31:06 |
What's |
| 00:31:07 |
Hey! No back talk. |
| 00:31:10 |
Michael? |
| 00:31:12 |
How are you? Bob Kearns. |
| 00:31:19 |
How big is it? |
| 00:31:20 |
Thirty thousand |
| 00:31:21 |
Structurally, this is as sound as |
| 00:31:24 |
The loading ramps are more than |
| 00:31:27 |
Sure looks like it |
| 00:31:29 |
We're concerned about the |
| 00:31:32 |
Well, we can probably work out an eight |
| 00:31:35 |
What do you think, guys? |
| 00:31:37 |
Fifty cents |
| 00:31:39 |
No. No, we were figuring |
| 00:31:42 |
I think the owners |
| 00:31:44 |
Well, we'll have to think about it. Hey! |
| 00:31:47 |
You hear that echo? |
| 00:31:49 |
It's perfect, Michael. |
| 00:31:58 |
It's such |
| 00:32:00 |
I'm amazed no one's cracked it |
| 00:32:03 |
My basement. |
| 00:32:05 |
So, these S.D. 25s |
| 00:32:08 |
Yes, we can do a discount |
| 00:32:12 |
I assume you'll put the Ford contracts up |
| 00:32:16 |
Oh, yeah. We're down the road on |
| 00:32:19 |
that you'll be able |
| 00:32:20 |
the necessary transistors |
| 00:32:23 |
Mr. Kearns, Motorola is the biggest |
| 00:32:27 |
I think if we can supply the |
| 00:32:30 |
The who? |
| 00:32:32 |
That's a good one. |
| 00:32:45 |
Hiya, Bob. |
| 00:32:47 |
The gentleman at Motorola put me in |
| 00:32:51 |
Yeah. Yeah. Bob? |
| 00:32:53 |
No, I'm serious about this. We |
| 00:32:56 |
Want me to take your order? Yes. |
| 00:32:58 |
Actually, do you mind |
| 00:33:00 |
Sure. |
| 00:33:01 |
Sorry, I'm starving. |
| 00:33:07 |
They want out, Bob. |
| 00:33:09 |
Who wants out? |
| 00:33:14 |
What? |
| 00:33:15 |
They're just not |
| 00:33:17 |
Wait, wait, what... What do |
| 00:33:21 |
I'm not sure. |
| 00:33:22 |
Well, who did |
| 00:33:23 |
Tyler. Yeah. |
| 00:33:25 |
What did he |
| 00:33:27 |
Like I said, |
| 00:33:28 |
Out? |
| 00:33:29 |
They're not ready yet, and they're |
| 00:33:32 |
They gave me a line like, you |
| 00:33:35 |
Out, or ready, Gil? |
| 00:33:37 |
Hang on a second. |
| 00:33:43 |
They have the unit. |
| 00:33:44 |
We'll get it back. |
| 00:33:45 |
I don't know. |
| 00:33:46 |
I closed on the |
| 00:33:48 |
Well, don't forget, I thought |
| 00:33:50 |
They're loading |
| 00:33:51 |
We're gonna figure this out. All |
| 00:33:54 |
Bullshit. |
| 00:34:00 |
Listen. Chrysler, |
| 00:34:02 |
My kids. It's my kids. |
| 00:34:05 |
Ford was our best bet. We both |
| 00:34:09 |
Okay, but they... They strung us |
| 00:34:12 |
I know. |
| 00:34:14 |
I know. |
| 00:34:15 |
We had a deal. |
| 00:34:18 |
I think they might be |
| 00:34:19 |
No. They're not. |
| 00:34:22 |
You sure? Because I haven't... Yeah. |
| 00:34:24 |
It's dead there, Bob. |
| 00:34:29 |
My God. |
| 00:34:53 |
All the boxes are going in the |
| 00:35:23 |
Professor Kearns. |
| 00:35:26 |
Yes, Louis, thanks. |

"State Highway System: |
| 00:35:31 |
This for one of |
| 00:35:32 |
No, I'm just doing some work for the |
| 00:35:36 |
Nothing too exciting. |
| 00:35:38 |
Yeah, but they're paying |
| 00:35:40 |
Sounds pretty good to me. You know, |
| 00:35:44 |
A few of us even have |
| 00:35:47 |
Maybe I can call you sometime, |
| 00:35:49 |
Absolutely. |

Hey, you guys are late. Take |

Have your invitations |

Ladies and gentlemen, |

Introducing the new, the |

Ford Mustang in the history |
| 00:38:16 |
With more options |
| 00:38:18 |
Stereo, rear window defroster |
| 00:38:21 |
and the brand-new electronic Intermittent |
| 00:38:32 |
Ladies and gentlemen, have you seen |
| 00:38:36 |
And I'm talking about the car |
| 00:38:39 |
who, by the way, know these |
| 00:38:42 |
Don't hesitate to ask them any |
| 00:38:46 |
in the main auditorium we have |
| 00:39:02 |
Excuse me, sir. Could |
| 00:39:04 |
Uh, I'm with, |
| 00:39:07 |
Why don't we talk |
| 00:39:09 |
No, I'm with Mr... |
| 00:39:10 |
Mr. Tyler! |
| 00:39:11 |
Sir, please. |
| 00:39:14 |
Mr. Tyler! |
| 00:39:15 |
Right this way, sir. |
| 00:39:18 |
Sir, outside. |
| 00:39:22 |
Okay. Easy. |
| 00:39:23 |
Step outside. |
| 00:39:26 |
Their story is that they |
| 00:39:28 |
one they had in the |
| 00:39:29 |
Yeah, and that's... |
| 00:39:30 |
...just what it is. |
| 00:39:32 |
It's a goddamn lie. |
| 00:39:33 |
Come on. No, no, I took apart |
| 00:39:36 |
You know what I found inside? Transistors, |
| 00:39:40 |
Now, that is my design! |
| 00:39:44 |
What about the patents? |
| 00:39:47 |
Legally, they're |
| 00:39:49 |
What is that |
| 00:39:50 |
Nothing. It's |
| 00:39:53 |
Barney's putting together |
| 00:39:55 |
You can take a look at |
| 00:39:56 |
Another letter? |
| 00:39:58 |
A letter? Gil, they |
| 00:40:00 |
Whoa! Let's be careful |
| 00:40:03 |
Let's not use words |
| 00:40:04 |
Who the hell is this guy? Huh? |
| 00:40:06 |
Bob... Who the hell are |
| 00:40:08 |
Bob! We gotta be really |
| 00:40:12 |
And whatever you say |
| 00:40:15 |
So we're gonna fight it, but |
| 00:40:18 |
How long is it gonna |
| 00:40:20 |
First, this is Ford. |
| 00:40:23 |
Second, patents. Christ, |
| 00:40:27 |
Not to mention, the patent |
| 00:40:30 |
It's gonna take |
| 00:40:32 |
Well, whatever it takes. The point |
| 00:40:39 |
Good. And in the meantime, let's |
| 00:40:47 |
So, a lot of these formulas work |
| 00:40:52 |
So that a capacitive |
| 00:40:58 |
uh, varies inversely |
| 00:41:05 |
of both... |
| 00:41:07 |
Uh, frequency? |
| 00:41:09 |
Yeah. Did I |
| 00:41:12 |
Sorry. |
| 00:41:14 |
Frequency, yes. And |
| 00:41:21 |
I'm gonna take |
| 00:41:25 |
Mr. Previck would appreciate |
| 00:41:27 |
Yes, well, I'd appreciate it if Mr. |
| 00:42:06 |
Who is it? |
| 00:42:09 |
Come in, Mr. Kearns. |
| 00:42:11 |
Oh, hi, Wade. |
| 00:42:13 |
Wade, did you |
| 00:42:14 |
He did, Jean. Hi. |
| 00:42:16 |
Hi. Bob! |
| 00:42:19 |
Uh, is Gil here? |
| 00:42:21 |
It's not really a great time |
| 00:42:24 |
Jean, hon, do you mind |
| 00:42:27 |
Sure, hon. |
| 00:42:29 |
Thanks, hon. |
| 00:42:31 |
Okay. |
| 00:42:34 |
I'm sorry. I... |
| 00:42:36 |
I thought we were gonna stay |
| 00:42:39 |
Don't you think it's a little outta |
| 00:42:41 |
Okay, well, you haven't |
| 00:42:44 |
I'm not sure |
| 00:42:46 |
I'm through waiting. I'm not |
| 00:42:48 |
You're not |
| 00:42:50 |
You called the lawyer, you |
| 00:42:53 |
You're on everybody. |
| 00:42:54 |
You even called my father, |
| 00:42:57 |
Tell me one thing. Are |
| 00:43:01 |
What I'm doing is |
| 00:43:02 |
like any sensible |
| 00:43:05 |
Of course they're stonewalling |
| 00:43:07 |
So then we take |
| 00:43:09 |
Is that right? |
| 00:43:10 |
This is Detroit, Bob. I did $17 |
| 00:43:15 |
You want to guess what |
| 00:43:16 |
if I start taking my |
| 00:43:18 |
This is not about money. This is |
| 00:43:21 |
For Christ's sake, |
| 00:43:23 |
That's right. I am. |
| 00:43:25 |
Did you ask to be involved in this deal? |
| 00:43:27 |
You need some |
| 00:43:30 |
You need to take a hard look at reality |
| 00:43:34 |
It's not your |
| 00:43:36 |
You've been coming up with stuff |
| 00:43:42 |
Now, I need to get back to my |
| 00:43:48 |
I'll go it alone. |
| 00:43:49 |
No. Leave it |
| 00:43:54 |
It's not over yet. |
| 00:44:08 |
I'm not gonna |
| 00:44:11 |
We don't have the money to |
| 00:44:14 |
so we're gonna have to do the |
| 00:44:16 |
Are you talking about |
| 00:44:17 |
No. No, we're gonna go |
| 00:44:19 |
They're the ones that screwed us. What? |
| 00:44:21 |
Gil just let me down. |
| 00:44:22 |
Robert, slow down. |
| 00:44:23 |
No, no, we're gonna have |
| 00:44:25 |
that's ever been written about me. Okay? |
| 00:44:27 |
Character stuff, |
| 00:44:30 |
This is my number one priority, |
| 00:44:35 |
Josh, I'm gonna need at |
| 00:44:37 |
And some of the earlier versions, too. |
| 00:44:39 |
Sure, Professor. |
| 00:44:40 |
Good. And |
| 00:44:42 |
Yeah, they just trash |
| 00:44:44 |
All right, um, where |
| 00:44:46 |
I'll meet you at the first |
| 00:44:50 |
Okay. |
| 00:44:53 |
Where's the |
| 00:44:54 |
All the files |
| 00:44:57 |
You should see a doctor. |
| 00:44:58 |
Oh, I'm fine. |
| 00:45:01 |
Previck Automotive |
| 00:45:03 |
Something to bring their attention |
| 00:45:07 |
are considering using |
| 00:45:11 |
I don't have it yet. |
| 00:45:12 |
Considering using electronic |
| 00:45:15 |
Do you want to list who? |
| 00:45:16 |
And that these are in direct |
| 00:45:20 |
by both Previck and |
| 00:45:23 |
As the inventor of the |
| 00:45:26 |
I demand that they take |
| 00:45:28 |
"Demand" is too strong. |
| 00:45:31 |
What difference |
| 00:45:33 |
They're not gonna |
| 00:45:35 |
Then why are |
| 00:45:36 |
Because it makes |
| 00:45:37 |
Does it? |
| 00:45:39 |
What is this file? |
| 00:45:45 |
Kathy won it in the swim |
| 00:45:55 |
This is a bad |
| 00:45:58 |
Now, Phyllis, I want you to take |
| 00:46:01 |
Here's the sample. |
| 00:46:03 |
And I'm going to write |
| 00:46:05 |
How long do I |
| 00:46:07 |
Well, just a month. |
| 00:46:10 |
I don't know what's going on with you, |
| 00:46:14 |
You understand me? You have to |
| 00:46:17 |
I'll be fine. |
| 00:46:31 |
Hello, Jean. |
| 00:46:33 |
How are the kids? |
| 00:46:37 |
Phyllis. |
| 00:46:40 |
Why is Bob |
| 00:46:43 |
He can't stand |
| 00:46:45 |
Well, nobody's |
| 00:46:48 |
They might as well be. |
| 00:46:49 |
Oh, for God's sake, Phyllis, |
| 00:46:54 |
Take care, Jean. |
| 00:47:11 |
Oh! God! |
| 00:47:12 |
Yeah. Med school gives them to us. |
| 00:47:15 |
We use them |
| 00:47:17 |
You should see it when we |
| 00:47:19 |
It's very instructive. |
| 00:47:21 |
I'll try that sometime. |
| 00:47:26 |
What the hell is this? |
| 00:47:27 |
I know, it's just motors. I |
| 00:47:30 |
Why not? |
| 00:47:31 |
They didn't have any extras. Didn't |
| 00:47:35 |
These are nothing. |
| 00:47:37 |
Hey, man, this is |
| 00:47:38 |
This doesn't |
| 00:47:40 |
I'm sorry. |
| 00:47:41 |
What does that mean? |
| 00:47:46 |
Wait a minute. |
| 00:47:49 |
Did somebody |
| 00:47:53 |
Did you have a conversation about me? |
| 00:47:56 |
What? |
| 00:47:59 |
Are you working |
| 00:48:02 |
Huh? You even know |
| 00:48:03 |
Man, I gotta go. |
| 00:48:05 |
They're the... |
| 00:48:06 |
They're the ones who don't |
| 00:49:58 |
Hey! Hey! |
| 00:50:01 |
Come on! |
| 00:50:04 |
What the hell are you doing? Hey! Hey! |
| 00:52:04 |
Look at this lady. She had |
| 00:52:09 |
That's quintuplets, |
| 00:52:18 |
Hello. |
| 00:52:19 |
Is this |
| 00:52:20 |
Yes. |
| 00:52:22 |
Mrs. Kearns, this is Trooper Dale with |
| 00:52:24 |
Yes. We've located your husband, ma'am. |
| 00:52:27 |
Is he okay? |
| 00:52:28 |
Well, he was found on a bus |
| 00:52:30 |
A bus? Where is he? May |
| 00:52:33 |
Uh, no, ma'am, |
| 00:52:35 |
He's being transported to a |
| 00:52:38 |
What happened? |
| 00:52:39 |
Sorry, I don't know exactly, but you'll |
| 00:52:43 |
Will you be at |
| 00:52:44 |
Yes, we'll be here. |
| 00:52:46 |
Thank you, Mrs. Kearns. |
| 00:52:47 |
Thank you. |
| 00:00:18 |
Chair or couch today? |
| 00:00:20 |
Your choice. |
| 00:00:24 |
How's it going? |
| 00:00:26 |
I guess. |
| 00:00:29 |
I don't feel like I need |
| 00:00:33 |
Okay. |
| 00:00:40 |
It is hard getting past it. |
| 00:00:43 |
I'm sure it is. |
| 00:00:49 |
Did you write any |
| 00:00:52 |
I did. There's a thesis and several |
| 00:00:56 |
How would you feel if another |
| 00:01:02 |
Just came along and |
| 00:01:07 |
I take your point. |
| 00:01:09 |
But at the same time, if getting |
| 00:01:13 |
overwhelmed my responsibilities |
| 00:01:15 |
or kept me from |
| 00:01:18 |
would that be worth it? Would |
| 00:01:21 |
I can't answer that. |
| 00:01:23 |
Do you want to |
| 00:01:26 |
No. |
| 00:01:30 |
No. No, I don't. |
| 00:01:52 |
Thank you. |
| 00:02:04 |
Who is that? |
| 00:02:09 |
Come on, you |
| 00:02:24 |
Come here, you. How |
| 00:02:26 |
Hi, how are you guys? |
| 00:02:27 |
Daddy! |
| 00:02:29 |
No, I got |
| 00:02:30 |
You look good. |
| 00:02:33 |
You okay? He's coming |
| 00:02:35 |
How are you, buddy? |
| 00:03:10 |
Hey. |
| 00:03:16 |
What do you say we round up the |
| 00:03:24 |
Kearns Corporation. |
| 00:03:28 |
No, I'm fine. |
| 00:03:52 |
Let's see here. |
| 00:03:56 |
Mmm-hmm. |
| 00:03:59 |
How do you pronounce |
| 00:04:02 |
Kearns. |
| 00:04:03 |
Mr. Kearns. |
| 00:04:05 |
An inventor. |
| 00:04:08 |
What have you invented? |
| 00:04:10 |
A lot of things. |
| 00:04:12 |
Yeah, my brother-in-law |
| 00:04:14 |
Never sold anything, though. |
| 00:04:19 |
You really a doctor? |
| 00:04:21 |
Ph. D. |
| 00:04:22 |
Uh-huh. |
| 00:04:25 |
Well, Doctor, take a look |
| 00:04:28 |
Make sure it's correct. |
| 00:04:33 |
You'll probably get your |
| 00:04:36 |
Proceed to the third |
| 00:04:38 |
Thank you. |
| 00:04:40 |
Move forward. |
| 00:04:56 |
Hi. |
| 00:05:00 |
Can I talk to you |
| 00:05:02 |
Am I in trouble? |
| 00:05:04 |
No. |
| 00:05:16 |
I know you're mad at me. Is |
| 00:05:23 |
Because I got sick? |
| 00:05:25 |
I don't like |
| 00:05:26 |
Okay. Well, that's why |
| 00:05:29 |
I didn't like it like |
| 00:05:33 |
I didn't do |
| 00:05:35 |
Look, Dennis, if I don't fight |
| 00:05:39 |
I'm afraid I'm gonna start |
| 00:05:42 |
And I can't |
| 00:05:46 |
I got a lawyer. And |
| 00:05:49 |
And it's gonna be |
| 00:05:50 |
And I may not be around as |
| 00:05:54 |
You're just starting this all |
| 00:06:02 |
Is that all you |
| 00:06:05 |
Yeah. |
| 00:06:15 |
And I'll tell you something. |
| 00:06:18 |
I'm not out for the quick score. This |
| 00:06:22 |
That's why I'm very glad that |
| 00:06:25 |
From several phone calls with |
| 00:06:28 |
what his level |
| 00:06:30 |
But this is part |
| 00:06:33 |
I'd like to know where |
| 00:06:35 |
I want to understand |
| 00:06:38 |
What it would |
| 00:06:39 |
Well, as long as |
| 00:06:40 |
suing one of the most powerful |
| 00:06:44 |
It's not something you take on lightly. |
| 00:06:48 |
Ford is just the first. |
| 00:06:50 |
We're gonna be bringing suits |
| 00:06:52 |
that's infringed on your |
| 00:06:55 |
But Ford's number one. |
| 00:06:56 |
Once they decided to put your |
| 00:07:00 |
they gave a green light to |
| 00:07:04 |
"To hell with your |
| 00:07:06 |
Let me tell you something, Mrs. |
| 00:07:10 |
I believe in a little |
| 00:07:13 |
These bastards think they can |
| 00:07:16 |
But we're here to tell them that |
| 00:07:20 |
And I don't want you |
| 00:07:21 |
is gonna take over your time or |
| 00:07:25 |
All right? That's why |
| 00:07:27 |
Lan, this is Dr. Bob Kearns |
| 00:07:30 |
This is Ian Meillor. |
| 00:07:32 |
He's gonna be working |
| 00:07:33 |
I just want to |
| 00:07:35 |
for giving us the opportunity |
| 00:07:37 |
One of the first items on our |
| 00:07:40 |
Yeah, I cannot wait to see |
| 00:07:42 |
We're gonna jump right into |
| 00:07:46 |
Thank you very much. |
| 00:07:49 |
And one other thing, I'd like to |
| 00:07:52 |
Of course. Of course, Dr. Kearns, |
| 00:07:55 |
In fact, we have to |
| 00:07:57 |
Previck Auto. Yeah. We have |
| 00:08:00 |
Think you can do |
| 00:08:01 |
I'll see. |
| 00:08:02 |
Very good to meet you. |
| 00:08:04 |
Thank you so much. We're |
| 00:08:05 |
I mean, Jesus Christ, Bob, |
| 00:08:09 |
To you, maybe. To that bartender up |
| 00:08:15 |
Well, you know what I mean. But I |
| 00:08:20 |
you'd have a different perspective. |
| 00:08:22 |
I do. I'm handling |
| 00:08:25 |
Maybe you are. |
| 00:08:30 |
So what are |
| 00:08:31 |
I don't know. Maybe |
| 00:08:40 |
Why don't you sue me? |
| 00:08:42 |
Kearns versus Previck. |
| 00:08:46 |
Well, then |
| 00:08:48 |
You've sued everybody else. |
| 00:08:51 |
Nothing. Other than that |
| 00:08:54 |
Maybe you ought |
| 00:08:57 |
Get your lawyer to draft a |
| 00:09:00 |
If we're lucky, we'll get a |
| 00:09:07 |
Then you can have |
| 00:09:12 |
Okay. |
| 00:09:13 |
Okay, but, Bob, you gotta forget |
| 00:09:17 |
We're not gonna testify against |
| 00:09:20 |
I mean it. |
| 00:09:23 |
You won't testify. Previck |
| 00:09:29 |
All right. |
| 00:09:34 |
Dear Dr. Kearns, |
| 00:09:36 |
Previck Automotive has |
| 00:09:38 |
concerning the Kearns |
| 00:09:41 |
While Previck has acted in accordance |
| 00:09:44 |
in order to avoid litigation, |
| 00:09:46 |
we have decided to assign to you |
| 00:09:51 |
You will now be the sole |
| 00:09:53 |
Best regards, Gil Previck. |
| 00:09:58 |
No, you had back |
| 00:10:00 |
that's all twisted up with |
| 00:10:02 |
Yeah, we could |
| 00:10:03 |
No, wait, there they are! |
| 00:10:06 |
Hi. So good to see you. |
| 00:10:07 |
Thank you, Jimmy. And would |
| 00:10:10 |
Sure. |
| 00:10:11 |
Sit down, sit down. |
| 00:10:14 |
I'd say it is. In fact, you could |
| 00:10:18 |
This is exciting. |
| 00:10:20 |
Would you like to know who |
| 00:10:24 |
Charlie Defao. |
| 00:10:26 |
Well, you may not |
| 00:10:28 |
but he's the man Macklin Tyler |
| 00:10:32 |
And he's not a man to waste |
| 00:10:36 |
Bob, Phyllis, I'm very |
| 00:10:42 |
that Ford has offered |
| 00:10:47 |
Two hundred and fifty |
| 00:10:51 |
Settle? Now, what does that |
| 00:10:53 |
'Cause I thought we |
| 00:10:55 |
No, that was |
| 00:10:57 |
And we didn't do anything |
| 00:11:00 |
This is Ford's offer. |
| 00:11:03 |
And, frankly, we're |
| 00:11:05 |
We're goddamned shocked, |
| 00:11:08 |
Happily shocked, |
| 00:11:09 |
Okay, but in this offer, do |
| 00:11:13 |
That they lied about it. |
| 00:11:15 |
In a settlement |
| 00:11:17 |
it's customary that both sides |
| 00:11:20 |
What that means is, they don't |
| 00:11:22 |
No, absolutely not. No. No, no, |
| 00:11:26 |
But they won't say |
| 00:11:27 |
No, but if they're |
| 00:11:30 |
I think we can see |
| 00:11:33 |
That's wonderful, I think |
| 00:11:36 |
Sure, of course. |
| 00:11:38 |
Phyllis is right. You should think |
| 00:11:42 |
No, there's nothing to |
| 00:11:48 |
Bob, let's take a bird's |
| 00:11:52 |
First off, if you're really thinking |
| 00:11:57 |
that's a very |
| 00:12:00 |
It's not a good... |
| 00:12:02 |
I'm not talking about |
| 00:12:05 |
Let me just tell you something |
| 00:12:08 |
I don't appreciate the |
| 00:12:12 |
You don't have the most |
| 00:12:14 |
And at least four times a |
| 00:12:18 |
telling me what |
| 00:12:19 |
You're not a lawyer, |
| 00:12:22 |
Now, from a real lawyer, from a 45-year |
| 00:12:29 |
this firm has spent more time on |
| 00:12:33 |
Maybe. But you're getting |
| 00:12:36 |
Only if we settle. |
| 00:12:37 |
Bob, think it over. |
| 00:12:39 |
Three, maybe $400,000, it's |
| 00:12:44 |
I'm sure it would. |
| 00:12:45 |
It certainly seems |
| 00:12:46 |
It doesn't matter. |
| 00:12:47 |
Look, I'm sure you men think |
| 00:12:50 |
but this is about |
| 00:12:53 |
I always thought I was put here |
| 00:12:56 |
I thought it was to be an |
| 00:12:59 |
But that's not it. And |
| 00:13:02 |
God put you here to sue |
| 00:13:04 |
Look, I brought these here, thinking |
| 00:13:08 |
Edwin Armstrong |
| 00:13:11 |
Somehow R.C.A. Ended |
| 00:13:13 |
He jumped out a 13-story |
| 00:13:17 |
He was an inventor. And, look, |
| 00:13:20 |
People who've had their |
| 00:13:23 |
They've heard about us. They're in |
| 00:13:26 |
and they're counting on me. |
| 00:13:28 |
Thank you very much. I really don't |
| 00:13:31 |
Let's just get to |
| 00:13:33 |
This settlement offer |
| 00:13:36 |
And if we did get |
| 00:13:39 |
if we prevailed, |
| 00:13:40 |
if the jury gave you the |
| 00:13:44 |
That's insulting. |
| 00:13:45 |
...it is doubtful that |
| 00:13:48 |
than you would right now |
| 00:13:50 |
And whatever happened to this little |
| 00:13:53 |
This is justice, Bob. This is how |
| 00:13:57 |
With checkbooks. |
| 00:13:58 |
There are no brass bands, you know. |
| 00:14:01 |
The mayor doesn't give |
| 00:14:04 |
and call you a hero. |
| 00:14:06 |
And that check makes the lives of |
| 00:14:10 |
A little more pleasant. |
| 00:14:12 |
Well, I'll make it simple, |
| 00:14:16 |
Get an admission that they stole it |
| 00:14:20 |
my wipers and |
| 00:14:23 |
Bob, since I bought this wasted champagne, |
| 00:14:28 |
Just think about |
| 00:14:32 |
Your lawsuit is over. |
| 00:14:36 |
You're no longer |
| 00:14:38 |
Because you're fighting a |
| 00:14:41 |
know the meaning |
| 00:14:45 |
They'll bury you with motions, |
| 00:14:49 |
They'll drown you in so many irrelevant |
| 00:14:54 |
with cold sweats. |
| 00:14:56 |
And five years from now, |
| 00:14:59 |
to seeing the inside of a |
| 00:15:02 |
Your hair will turn gray. |
| 00:15:04 |
Life will pass you by. |
| 00:15:08 |
Go home and talk about this with |
| 00:15:12 |
And then make your decision. And if you |
| 00:15:17 |
this'll all be over |
| 00:15:23 |
I'll show you what we got here |
| 00:15:25 |
but there's a load more over |
| 00:15:28 |
And here you go. |
| 00:15:31 |
Oh, so it's all this? |
| 00:15:34 |
Nope, and those shelves, too. |
| 00:15:36 |
And that one there. And |
| 00:15:43 |
Thanks, Louis. |
| 00:15:45 |
You're welcome. |
| 00:15:55 |
I'm sorry it's so late. |
| 00:15:56 |
Uh-huh. I couldn't sleep. |
| 00:16:00 |
Well, no turning into me. |
| 00:16:08 |
No turning into me. |
| 00:16:10 |
Honey, I think we |
| 00:16:14 |
Well, I know you do. |
| 00:16:19 |
Robert, it's gone on |
| 00:16:21 |
We could really use the money. |
| 00:16:22 |
Since when has this |
| 00:16:24 |
It's not just about the money. |
| 00:16:26 |
Well, why do you |
| 00:16:28 |
How am I supposed to teach my |
| 00:16:31 |
if I let these guys |
| 00:16:33 |
I'm not sure that's exactly |
| 00:16:35 |
They like this. The kids |
| 00:16:37 |
No, they just don't want to let you |
| 00:16:46 |
We're fine. |
| 00:16:50 |
It's like he said. They |
| 00:16:55 |
We're gonna be fine. |
| 00:17:20 |
Is that the Journal? |
| 00:17:23 |
Gerald Reed vs. |
| 00:17:25 |
Seems relevant, huh? |
| 00:17:27 |
Seems like it to me. |
| 00:17:29 |
Dr. Kearns, I'm really |
| 00:17:32 |
The truth is, if you don't fight, the |
| 00:17:46 |
Hey. |
| 00:17:52 |
How you doing? |
| 00:17:54 |
Good. Mr. Lawson called. |
| 00:17:57 |
Okay. Where are the kids? |
| 00:18:00 |
I took them to Deb's. |
| 00:18:06 |
Okay. I'm gonna grab a... |
| 00:18:15 |
Phyllis... |
| 00:18:16 |
I wrote you a letter. |
| 00:18:20 |
And I threw it away, 'cause |
| 00:18:23 |
It's just become |
| 00:18:26 |
Okay, listen. I heard |
| 00:18:29 |
and I agree with it. |
| 00:18:32 |
No, I know. |
| 00:18:35 |
I don't think you know how. |
| 00:18:37 |
You can't. |
| 00:18:38 |
Phyllis... |
| 00:18:39 |
I'm leaving. |
| 00:18:41 |
Because I think this is the |
| 00:18:45 |
This has overwhelmed us. |
| 00:18:48 |
You've stopped supporting |
| 00:18:51 |
You don't believe in this case |
| 00:18:54 |
It's not fair! |
| 00:18:56 |
There are seven other people in this |
| 00:19:00 |
We're close. We're so close. |
| 00:19:03 |
Honey. No. |
| 00:19:06 |
Come here. |
| 00:19:11 |
I can't do it without you. |
| 00:19:13 |
You're gonna be fine. |
| 00:19:16 |
I can fix it. |
| 00:19:18 |
Okay. You fix it. |
| 00:19:26 |
For now, this is best. |
| 00:19:28 |
You still love me? |
| 00:19:32 |
I love you. |
| 00:19:43 |
What did Lawson say? |
| 00:19:44 |
He officially |
| 00:20:52 |
Yeah, so, I'm going |
| 00:20:54 |
and then I'll meet |
| 00:20:55 |
Dennis? |
| 00:20:58 |
Dad. |
| 00:21:01 |
I'll catch up with you guys. |
| 00:21:03 |
Yeah, see you later. |
| 00:21:07 |
Hey. What's going on? |
| 00:21:09 |
Can we get |
| 00:21:13 |
Sure. Yeah. |
| 00:21:17 |
It's a long article, Dad. |
| 00:21:19 |
Just keep reading. |
| 00:21:21 |
Where? |
| 00:21:22 |
Look. Okay? |
| 00:21:25 |
"Among other things, |
| 00:21:26 |
"designed to free up |
| 00:21:28 |
"that have been clogging |
| 00:21:30 |
Do you know what that means? |
| 00:21:34 |
They've been waiting me out. They're |
| 00:21:38 |
And if we can get them to court |
| 00:21:41 |
How soon? |
| 00:21:47 |
That's great, Dad. |
| 00:21:50 |
Well, I'm not ready yet. |
| 00:21:53 |
And I can't do this by myself. |
| 00:21:58 |
Hey. |
| 00:21:59 |
We used to talk about the Kearns |
| 00:22:02 |
That was a joke, Dad. |
| 00:22:03 |
Not to me. |
| 00:22:06 |
We weren't a corporation. |
| 00:22:09 |
We haven't even been that. |
| 00:22:12 |
I need help, Dennis. I submitted |
| 00:22:19 |
They sent me back 357 pages. I had to read |
| 00:22:25 |
That is all you care about. That's |
| 00:22:31 |
Thanks for the coffee. |
| 00:22:36 |
Okay. I'm fine. |
| 00:22:38 |
Go ahead. Go to your class. |
| 00:23:09 |
Can I help you? |
| 00:23:11 |
I hope so. |
| 00:23:13 |
Bob Kearns? |
| 00:23:18 |
What do you want? |
| 00:23:20 |
A conversation. We tried calling, but |
| 00:23:26 |
Who are you? |
| 00:23:27 |
I'm here at the request |
| 00:23:30 |
You think we could go inside |
| 00:23:32 |
Discuss what? |
| 00:23:35 |
How about putting |
| 00:23:38 |
So you can move |
| 00:23:39 |
And so, frankly, Ford can stop |
| 00:23:44 |
Well, they can if they want. |
| 00:23:46 |
They want. |
| 00:23:47 |
And to prove it, they've authorized me |
| 00:23:50 |
On top of your legal expenses. |
| 00:23:55 |
I accept. |
| 00:23:58 |
Excellent. |
| 00:23:59 |
On one condition. |
| 00:24:02 |
As long as Ford takes out an |
| 00:24:06 |
saying that they stole |
| 00:24:08 |
and have done everything they |
| 00:24:13 |
The only problem with that |
| 00:24:17 |
is that it'd |
| 00:24:20 |
To say they stole your |
| 00:24:22 |
To every engineer, stockholder, every |
| 00:24:26 |
Bob, Ford is genuinely sorry |
| 00:24:30 |
And to resolve the situation, they're |
| 00:24:33 |
A big step. |
| 00:24:36 |
A million dollar step. |
| 00:24:40 |
I have work to do and |
| 00:24:44 |
I hate to use these words, |
| 00:24:47 |
this actually is a take |
| 00:24:53 |
Bob, you don't want |
| 00:24:58 |
Going to the law library's not |
| 00:25:01 |
Look, I'm gonna leave you my card, |
| 00:25:05 |
So I want you to call |
| 00:25:09 |
Doesn't matter. |
| 00:25:12 |
Just call me. I'll be waiting |
| 00:25:16 |
Just not for long. |
| 00:25:20 |
Asshole. |
| 00:25:25 |
Asshole. |
| 00:25:28 |
There he is. Hey, Dad! |
| 00:25:30 |
Hi, honey. |
| 00:25:33 |
Hey, Dennis. |
| 00:25:35 |
Hey, Dad. |
| 00:25:37 |
You want to come in? |
| 00:25:40 |
No, I'll see you, okay? |
| 00:25:43 |
Okay. How are you? |
| 00:25:46 |
I'm good. |
| 00:25:48 |
How you doing? |
| 00:25:50 |
Dennis, hold up! |
| 00:25:56 |
Hey. |
| 00:25:59 |
Thanks for bringing |
| 00:26:00 |
You're welcome. |
| 00:26:02 |
Yeah. Thanks for bringing |
| 00:26:06 |
You know? |
| 00:26:10 |
I know you've carried a pretty |
| 00:26:12 |
It's okay, Dad. |
| 00:26:15 |
I just want you to know |
| 00:26:19 |
You're better than |
| 00:26:22 |
Thank you. |
| 00:26:27 |
I'll see you. |
| 00:26:30 |
See you. |
| 00:26:33 |
Everything all right? |
| 00:26:35 |
What do you want to do? |
| 00:26:38 |
Don't you have a lot of work? |
| 00:26:40 |
Hey, you work too much. |
| 00:26:44 |
Too much typing. |
| 00:26:48 |
I hear there's a... There's a |
| 00:26:51 |
We could... |
| 00:26:53 |
Wow! That is something |
| 00:26:55 |
Oh, that's very funny. |
| 00:27:50 |
Hey, Dad. |
| 00:27:51 |
Oh! |
| 00:27:54 |
You scared the hell out of me. |
| 00:27:57 |
Sorry. |
| 00:27:59 |
Yeah. |
| 00:28:04 |
I got some coffees for us. |
| 00:28:12 |
Thank you. |
| 00:28:19 |
Right. Okay. |
| 00:28:20 |
Mr. Finley, Dr. Kearns, |
| 00:28:26 |
Civil action, Robert Kearns vs. The Ford |
| 00:28:30 |
United States District Court for |
| 00:28:34 |
So, Dr. Kearns, I'm not |
| 00:28:38 |
a reasonable man, but I understand |
| 00:28:43 |
Yes, sir. My son Dennis |
| 00:28:48 |
Okay, then if you're up for it, let's make |
| 00:28:53 |
Of course we will, Your Honor. |
| 00:28:56 |
I don't understand. |
| 00:28:58 |
It's just an expression, |
| 00:29:01 |
August 14th. |
| 00:29:04 |
Thank you very much, |
| 00:29:12 |
How's Mom? |
| 00:29:14 |
She's fine. |
| 00:29:17 |
You want the dates on these? |
| 00:29:20 |
Yeah. |
| 00:29:22 |
Wuit your bitching. |
| 00:29:23 |
Tough. |
| 00:29:24 |
Hey, put those by the wall. |
| 00:29:26 |
Is it Chrysler? |
| 00:29:28 |
Watch your language. She'll |
| 00:29:32 |
Look, Dad, I told you not to |
| 00:29:34 |
Well, what does that mean? |
| 00:29:38 |
You know what that means. |
| 00:29:41 |
No, I really don't. |
| 00:29:44 |
She's busy. She's doing |
| 00:29:53 |
Is she seeing someone? |
| 00:29:57 |
It's been four years, Dad. |
| 00:29:59 |
Well, that's not |
| 00:30:04 |
Well, anyway, it's okay. Just |
| 00:30:10 |
Mmm. |
| 00:30:21 |
What a piece of crap. |
| 00:30:22 |
It's perfect. |
| 00:30:36 |
Hi, Phyllis. Um, I know it's |
| 00:30:42 |
and I think I've been putting off |
| 00:30:47 |
I just wanted you to know |
| 00:30:56 |
Okay. Good-bye. |
| 00:31:14 |
Hey, Dad! |
| 00:31:15 |
Hey, Dad wait up! |
| 00:31:17 |
Hey. How are you? |
| 00:31:19 |
Good. How are you? |
| 00:31:20 |
Hey. |
| 00:31:25 |
You get some rest? |
| 00:31:27 |
Most of the testimony you'll be hearing at |
| 00:31:32 |
Although you may have noticed a |
| 00:31:36 |
in the form of half |
| 00:31:40 |
The plaintiff in this case |
| 00:31:43 |
Dr. Kearns charges that the Ford Motor |
| 00:31:48 |
If you decide in Dr. Kearns' |
| 00:31:51 |
what damages, if any, |
| 00:31:55 |
Dr. Kearns has voluntarily chosen |
| 00:31:59 |
You are not to draw any inferences |
| 00:32:04 |
simply because he is representing |
| 00:32:09 |
I just wanted to thank you for |
| 00:32:14 |
and introduce my son, |
| 00:32:20 |
Is that all, Dr. Kearns? |
| 00:32:22 |
I appreciate the jury giving their |
| 00:32:26 |
The jury is the |
| 00:32:33 |
Are you finished? |
| 00:32:35 |
You might be more comfortable |
| 00:32:39 |
Please keep in mind you're not to discuss |
| 00:32:43 |
Not amongst yourselves, not in the |
| 00:32:45 |
Now, this array of electronic parts |
| 00:32:50 |
has been used by American auto |
| 00:32:55 |
Obviously since Ford |
| 00:32:58 |
they had knowledge of it long before |
| 00:33:00 |
Would you agree that Dr. Kearns |
| 00:33:03 |
to your knowledge, |
| 00:33:05 |
I believe it's possible that |
| 00:33:09 |
They may have. |
| 00:33:10 |
revolution to get one wipe out |
| 00:33:13 |
We worked on that |
| 00:33:15 |
Well, certainly it is important to |
| 00:33:18 |
it takes some time |
| 00:33:20 |
Well, when you start the car, the |
| 00:33:23 |
and supply 50 times |
| 00:33:26 |
To reiterate, you've worked in the |
| 00:33:30 |
and you've been an executive at the company |
| 00:33:34 |
That's correct. |
| 00:33:35 |
Mr. Tyler, to be clear, |
| 00:33:40 |
that he had, quote, |
| 00:33:44 |
It doesn't sound much like me, so, no, I |
| 00:33:49 |
I mean, I certainly tried to be encouraging |
| 00:33:53 |
Hell, I still do, but to say |
| 00:33:56 |
is, I think, |
| 00:33:59 |
I should also point out that |
| 00:34:02 |
was to manufacture |
| 00:34:05 |
That simply would have |
| 00:34:07 |
So, to be clear, there's no |
| 00:34:10 |
entertained the notion of Mr. Kearns |
| 00:34:15 |
No chance. |
| 00:34:17 |
Ford putting its name in the |
| 00:34:22 |
That would have been a |
| 00:34:24 |
Thank you, Mr. Tyler. |
| 00:34:29 |
Dr. Kearns? |
| 00:34:42 |
Mr. Tyler, did you ever |
| 00:34:46 |
come up with a cost |
| 00:34:50 |
I don't recall specifically |
| 00:34:53 |
I may have asked him. |
| 00:34:54 |
Well, why would you |
| 00:34:58 |
If I did, it would have been because Mr. |
| 00:35:03 |
and I would have been trying |
| 00:35:06 |
Well, wouldn't asking a |
| 00:35:09 |
Unless you have a document to hand to |
| 00:35:13 |
Uh, what... |
| 00:35:17 |
Well, wouldn't asking a question |
| 00:35:22 |
an agreement of some sort? |
| 00:35:24 |
No, not really. Uh, I'd say it's no |
| 00:35:28 |
than I would be committed to buy someone's |
| 00:35:34 |
Did you ever ask Dr. Kearns |
| 00:35:38 |
No, not that I recall, and I'm |
| 00:35:42 |
But you did ask him how |
| 00:35:44 |
Like I said, in a rhetorical |
| 00:35:48 |
So it's not the same as |
| 00:35:52 |
I'm sorry. What? |
| 00:35:53 |
Thank you. |
| 00:35:57 |
You have a Ph. D in electronic |
| 00:36:01 |
Uh, that's correct. I've taught |
| 00:36:04 |
No, that's fine, sir. Your credentials |
| 00:36:06 |
Now, when you said earlier that Mr. |
| 00:36:11 |
could you explain what |
| 00:36:13 |
Yes. As you can see, |
| 00:36:15 |
Dr. Kearns's basic |
| 00:36:19 |
a variable resistor |
| 00:36:21 |
Now, these are basic building |
| 00:36:24 |
You can find them |
| 00:36:27 |
All Mr. Kearns did was to arrange |
| 00:36:32 |
And that, that's not the same thing |
| 00:36:37 |
Did Mr. Kearns |
| 00:36:40 |
No, sir, he did not. |
| 00:36:42 |
Did Mr. Kearns |
| 00:36:44 |
Again, no, he did not. |
| 00:36:46 |
Did Mr. Kearns invent |
| 00:36:48 |
No, he did not. |
| 00:36:50 |
You may step |
| 00:36:52 |
We will resume |
| 00:36:56 |
Dr. Kearns, your |
| 00:37:01 |
Dr. Kearns. |
| 00:37:02 |
Yes, sir. |
| 00:37:10 |
Oh. |
| 00:37:19 |
I have here a book. |
| 00:37:23 |
It's called |
| 00:37:26 |
Have you, have you |
| 00:37:28 |
Objection, Your Honor. |
| 00:37:30 |
Your Honor, please, |
| 00:37:32 |
How long will it take to |
| 00:37:34 |
Not very long at all. |
| 00:37:36 |
Okay. Let's see |
| 00:37:39 |
Have you ever read this? |
| 00:37:40 |
Yes. Read it in high |
| 00:37:43 |
Yes, it is. I'd like to read you |
| 00:37:48 |
"It was the best of times, |
| 00:37:51 |
"it was the age of wisdom, it |
| 00:37:56 |
Let's start with the |

Did Charles Dickens |
| 00:38:00 |
No. |
| 00:38:02 |
No. |
| 00:38:04 |
Your Honor, is Mr. Kearns gonna |
| 00:38:07 |
Please, if I could just |
| 00:38:13 |
You may answer the question. |
| 00:38:15 |
No. |
| 00:38:16 |
"The"? |
| 00:38:17 |
No. |
| 00:38:19 |
No. |
| 00:38:21 |
Look. I got a dictionary here. |
| 00:38:23 |
I haven't checked, |
| 00:38:26 |
every word that's in this book |
| 00:38:29 |
Well, I suspect that's |
| 00:38:31 |
Okay, so then you agree |
| 00:38:33 |
probably a single |
| 00:38:37 |
Well, I don't know, |
| 00:38:41 |
All Charles Dickens did was arrange them |
| 00:38:46 |
Well, I admit I haven't, |
| 00:38:50 |
But Dickens did create |
| 00:38:52 |
By using words. |
| 00:38:54 |
The only tools that |
| 00:39:00 |
Just as almost all inventors in |
| 00:39:05 |
were available to them. |
| 00:39:08 |
Telephones, space satellites |
| 00:39:11 |
parts that already existed, |
| 00:39:14 |
Parts that you might buy |
| 00:39:17 |
Technically that's true, |
| 00:39:19 |
No further questions. |
| 00:39:21 |
You may step |
| 00:39:26 |
Dad, how old do you |
| 00:39:29 |
I don't know. |
| 00:39:30 |
Hey, Dr. Kearns? |
| 00:39:31 |
I brought some guys |
| 00:39:33 |
Oh, that's great, Louis. |
| 00:39:37 |
Hey, Dad! |
| 00:39:38 |
Oh, there you are. |
| 00:39:40 |
How you guys doing? |
| 00:39:42 |
Hi, Dad. |
| 00:39:43 |
Hey. |
| 00:39:45 |
How are you? |
| 00:39:46 |
Yeah, good. Good. |
| 00:39:48 |
I guess I should be thinking |
| 00:39:51 |
They said it's been |
| 00:39:52 |
Yeah. Thank you for coming. |
| 00:39:55 |
Sure. |
| 00:39:57 |
Yeah. |
| 00:39:58 |
A minute, Dennis. |
| 00:40:00 |
Okay. Bye, sweets. Okay. |
| 00:40:04 |
All right, let's go. |
| 00:40:06 |
Dr. Kearns |
| 00:40:09 |
Because Dr. Kearns is |
| 00:40:12 |
he is obligated to proceed |
| 00:40:15 |
It may seem a little odd, but |
| 00:40:19 |
between the question being |
| 00:40:23 |
Dr. Kearns? |
| 00:40:24 |
Thank you, Your Honor. |
| 00:40:26 |
Dad, don't forget the jury. |
| 00:40:35 |
Could you please state your |
| 00:40:42 |
My name is Dr. Robert Kearns |
| 00:40:46 |
Do you need my address? |
| 00:40:51 |
No, that won't be necessary, |
| 00:40:54 |
Dr. Kearns. Why don't |
| 00:40:57 |
Relax and do your |
| 00:41:06 |
Thank you. |
| 00:41:10 |
Dr. Kearns, was the Intermittent |
| 00:41:14 |
No, it was not, but it |
| 00:41:17 |
Objection, Your Honor. |
| 00:41:20 |
What? Overruled. Proceed. |
| 00:41:25 |
Thank you. Uh, could you describe |
| 00:41:31 |
My first invention |
| 00:41:33 |
Back then, uh, yellow margarine, |
| 00:41:37 |
couldn't be sold in stores, because |
| 00:41:43 |
So I came up with a bag, basically a |
| 00:41:48 |
and you would insert |
| 00:41:51 |
in order to make the margarine |
| 00:41:54 |
Dr. Kearns. |
| 00:41:55 |
But it wasn't. |
| 00:41:56 |
Could we move on to the reason |
| 00:41:59 |
Yes. Yes. Yes. Could you, Dr. |
| 00:42:04 |
for the Intermittent Wiper? |
| 00:42:07 |
In 1941, the Supreme Court |
| 00:42:11 |
somewhere in the process of inventing, the |
| 00:42:17 |
What they called "a flash of genius," |
| 00:42:22 |
And I probably owe |
| 00:42:28 |
I was very much in love, and my |
| 00:42:32 |
And I was opening a bottle of |
| 00:42:37 |
I was probably thinking |
| 00:42:40 |
And popped the cork and it |
| 00:42:44 |
This one right here. |
| 00:42:46 |
I was bleeding everywhere and |
| 00:42:50 |
And they saved my eye. And the first |
| 00:42:57 |
Yeah. I'm legally |
| 00:43:00 |
and I've thought about the human |
| 00:43:07 |
And years ago, I was riding back |
| 00:43:11 |
it was drizzling outside, |
| 00:43:13 |
Why couldn't a wiper |
| 00:43:21 |
Why couldn't it blink? |
| 00:43:27 |
That's how I came up with it. |
| 00:43:33 |
Hello, jury. |
| 00:43:36 |
Why are you here? |
| 00:43:40 |
What am I doing here? |
| 00:43:44 |
I'm here because my mother |
| 00:43:49 |
mother and father and |
| 00:43:55 |
Good evening, Dennis. |
| 00:43:59 |
I know who you are. |
| 00:44:01 |
Right. May I come in? |
| 00:44:05 |
Let him in, son. |
| 00:44:12 |
Hello, Bob. |
| 00:44:16 |
Good evening. |
| 00:44:23 |
Bob, what do you say, |
| 00:44:26 |
we take the guesswork and the anxiety out |
| 00:44:31 |
Can we do that? |
| 00:44:33 |
What's going on? |
| 00:44:34 |
No, just... |
| 00:44:36 |
Bob, $30 million. |
| 00:44:40 |
Thirty million? |
| 00:44:42 |
I'm here tonight to offer your father, |
| 00:44:46 |
The trial goes away. |
| 00:44:48 |
We settle this here tonight. |
| 00:44:51 |
But no statement |
| 00:44:54 |
Or, or the time or energy, |
| 00:44:56 |
And more money than you |
| 00:44:58 |
Bob, I am telling you, if you |
| 00:45:02 |
you could walk |
| 00:45:04 |
Okay? Now, look |
| 00:45:07 |
Can you imagine what that |
| 00:45:18 |
What do you kids think? |
| 00:45:24 |
You've certainly earned the right |
| 00:45:32 |
Timmy? |
| 00:45:34 |
I don't know, Dad. |
| 00:45:39 |
Don't do it, Dad. |
| 00:45:42 |
Hell with it, Dad. |
| 00:45:46 |
Well, Mr. Defao, you don't |
| 00:45:49 |
Bob, let me ask... |
| 00:45:50 |
No. I'll see you tomorrow. |
| 00:45:56 |
This is insane. I mean 20 years of |
| 00:46:08 |
Well, gentlemen, I'm looking |
| 00:46:10 |
Dr. Kearns, Mr. Finley. |
| 00:46:12 |
The defense would like to recall |
| 00:46:15 |
Mr. Robert Kearns. |
| 00:46:17 |
No! Is that procedure? |
| 00:46:20 |
Is this really necessary? |
| 00:46:21 |
I have to say that I certainly |
| 00:46:23 |
We'll be brief, |
| 00:46:26 |
Your Honor, I'm ready for |
| 00:46:28 |
Well, it'll have |
| 00:46:30 |
Please take the stand. |
| 00:46:39 |
Please keep in mind you're |
| 00:46:46 |
Mr. Kearns, you have |
| 00:46:50 |
told you that you had, quote, |
| 00:46:55 |
Yes. |
| 00:46:57 |
And you firmly believe that |
| 00:47:00 |
Yes, I do. |
| 00:47:02 |
It couldn't have been |
| 00:47:06 |
Something that |
| 00:47:08 |
No. |
| 00:47:10 |
Do you recall being removed from a bus |
| 00:47:17 |
Yes. |
| 00:47:18 |
And do you remember what you |
| 00:47:21 |
That you were on your way to |
| 00:47:24 |
that it was at the request |
| 00:47:26 |
Do you remember |
| 00:47:30 |
Yes. And at that time... |
| 00:47:31 |
Just answer the |
| 00:47:33 |
Was it at the request |
| 00:47:38 |
No, it was not. |
| 00:47:39 |
And were you subsequently treated |
| 00:47:42 |
confined to the Rockville |
| 00:47:44 |
Yes. |
| 00:47:45 |
And that was because you |
| 00:47:49 |
I was seeking medical |
| 00:47:51 |
But you were convinced |
| 00:47:54 |
wanted you to come to |
| 00:47:57 |
Yes. |
| 00:47:58 |
Just as you were convinced that Mr. Tyler |
| 00:48:05 |
Thank you, Mr. Kearns. |
| 00:48:14 |
I'm gonna get a soda or something. |
| 00:48:24 |
Fuck Charlie Defao. |
| 00:48:32 |
I took some time off yesterday |
| 00:48:37 |
On the way over there, |
| 00:48:40 |
how when I was a kid my mother |
| 00:48:43 |
But not just any old |
| 00:48:46 |
The best lemon meringue |
| 00:48:49 |
See, she had one of |
| 00:48:51 |
and she would crank out that |
| 00:48:57 |
After I finished school and I started |
| 00:49:01 |
one of the first things I did is I went out |
| 00:49:06 |
And you know what? |
| 00:49:08 |
She still makes the best lemon |
| 00:49:10 |
And it would never occur to me, |
| 00:49:18 |
And that's what this |
| 00:49:22 |
Who really baked |
| 00:49:25 |
And there is no question, |
| 00:49:29 |
Who engineered, |
| 00:49:32 |
windshield wipers with the |
| 00:49:37 |
Ford Motor Company. |
| 00:49:39 |
Who engineered, tested, produced |
| 00:49:44 |
with what was called "depressed |
| 00:49:48 |
Ford Motor Company. |
| 00:49:50 |
Now, I am truly proud of a system where |
| 00:49:56 |
who has taught for many years, can |
| 00:50:02 |
Unfortunately, as we |
| 00:50:05 |
he sometimes confuses |
| 00:50:10 |
Fortunately, he has sought |
| 00:50:16 |
But the sad fact of the matter |
| 00:50:20 |
a good and decent man, has |
| 00:50:25 |
over patents that have |
| 00:50:29 |
Invalid. And that's what |
| 00:50:36 |
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, |
| 00:50:41 |
Oh, and you want to know who really |
| 00:50:48 |
Ford Motor Company. |
| 00:50:54 |
Dr. Kearns. |
| 00:51:00 |
Okay, Dad, let's go. |
| 00:51:08 |
One of Mr. Finley's |
| 00:51:12 |
I never baked a lemon meringue |
| 00:51:24 |
Why are we here? |
| 00:51:27 |
I am asking why |
| 00:51:33 |
Why have our lives crossed? |
| 00:51:40 |
Well, one thing |
| 00:51:42 |
We are not here |
| 00:51:45 |
Ford did or didn't do |
| 00:51:51 |
Mr. Finley over here has made it |
| 00:51:54 |
the things that |
| 00:51:57 |
But what Mr. Finley |
| 00:52:01 |
talking about are |
| 00:52:05 |
And why is that? Because |
| 00:52:12 |
But we are here because |
| 00:52:19 |
used their influence, and their |
| 00:52:25 |
to take advantage |
| 00:52:28 |
Ladies and gentlemen, what |
| 00:52:33 |
They claimed another |
| 00:52:37 |
And now, all these years |
| 00:52:45 |
they have the arrogance to sit |
| 00:52:48 |
and say, "No, no, no, the Ford, Ford |
| 00:52:53 |
No, they knew it all along. |
| 00:52:56 |
They, had everything they |
| 00:53:01 |
They knew it already. But I can tell |
| 00:53:08 |
They did not know everything |
| 00:53:11 |
that I showed up in their parking |
| 00:53:15 |
and an early version of what I |
| 00:53:21 |
And now, with all these great |
| 00:53:24 |
they're trying to tell you |
| 00:53:27 |
That the patent office |
| 00:53:30 |
not one time, not two times, |
| 00:53:34 |
when they issued |
| 00:53:37 |
And now they're trying |
| 00:53:39 |
that they're worthless, |
| 00:53:42 |
That my life's work |
| 00:53:45 |
They want you to believe that, |
| 00:53:57 |
Well, I want you, uh... |
| 00:54:05 |
I want you to know something. |
| 00:54:08 |
When I walked into |
| 00:54:10 |
I was wearing a |
| 00:54:12 |
You couldn't see it. |
| 00:54:17 |
A contributor to society. |
| 00:54:21 |
And I know that you couldn't |
| 00:54:24 |
And right now there are |
| 00:54:27 |
who can't see that badge. |
| 00:54:28 |
Mr. Finley, well, |
| 00:54:33 |
None of the men |
| 00:54:36 |
But I'd like to believe that |
| 00:54:41 |
and everything that you've listened |
| 00:54:45 |
that you can see it, |
| 00:54:51 |
That's what I hope. |
| 00:55:01 |
I can see you're tired. |
| 00:55:03 |
And I'm tired, too. |
| 00:55:06 |
So I'm not gonna sit up |
| 00:55:08 |
everything you've heard |
| 00:55:11 |
I'm just gonna ask you |
| 00:55:13 |
and your good sense |
| 00:55:18 |
to do the right thing. |
| 00:55:20 |
That's all I could |
| 00:55:26 |
Yeah. Thank you. |
| 00:55:34 |
Thank you, Dr. Kearns. |
| 00:56:09 |
Has the jury |
| 00:56:11 |
We have, Your Honor. |
| 00:56:13 |
Would you please read it? |
| 00:56:16 |
In the Robert Kearns vs. |
| 00:56:19 |
we find that the Ford Motor |
| 00:56:29 |
...did infringe on patents |
| 00:56:32 |
In consideration of these |
| 00:56:36 |
we award the plaintiff |
| 00:56:52 |
I can't believe we won. |
| 00:56:56 |
That's amazing! |
| 00:56:59 |
Bob. Congratulations. |
| 00:57:01 |
Hell, you earned it. |
| 00:57:03 |
Thank you, Gil. |
| 00:57:20 |
Phyllis? Phyllis! |
| 00:57:32 |
Congratulations, Robert. |
| 00:57:35 |
You finally got everything |
| 00:57:41 |
Well, not everything. |
| 00:57:44 |
I don't get the last |
| 00:57:47 |
I suppose not. |
| 00:57:50 |
But it's over. |
| 00:57:52 |
I don't |
| 00:57:56 |
It'll never be over. There'll |
| 00:57:59 |
That's just you. |
| 00:58:03 |
Yeah, |
| 00:58:04 |
I've been thinking |
| 00:58:07 |
I don't know if I can |
| 00:58:09 |
Dr. Kearns? |
| 00:58:12 |
Oh. |
| 00:58:14 |
Louis... |
| 00:58:16 |
We just wanted to |
| 00:58:17 |
Thank you. Thank you. |
| 00:58:18 |
A bunch of us, we got |
| 00:58:21 |
Oh... |
| 00:58:24 |
You were just excellent in |
| 00:58:25 |
they know what hit them back there. |
| 00:58:28 |
Like, we were talking about |
| 00:58:30 |
That was something else. |
| 00:58:32 |
It's just great. |
| 00:58:42 |
There was like, |
| 00:58:44 |
Yeah, I saw |
| 00:58:46 |
There were some other |
| 00:58:47 |
Well, that's what I meant. |
| 00:58:49 |
I had chocolate. |
| 00:58:50 |
Oh, thanks. |
| 00:58:52 |
I know, you guys, I know. We know. |
| 00:58:54 |
Might I be able to get |
| 00:58:56 |
I think we can work |
| 00:58:57 |
Thanks. |
| 00:58:58 |
So, uh, anyone see Kathy kiss up to |
| 00:59:02 |
Oh, yeah. |
| 00:59:03 |
He wasn't from there. He |
| 00:59:06 |
Exactly. Did you get your |
| 00:59:08 |
No, I don't |
| 00:59:10 |
Uh, I don't |
| 00:59:11 |
Well, you could have |
| 00:59:14 |
There was a guy |
| 00:59:16 |
Uh, The London Times, actually. |
