Paul
Thanks.
Dr. Matthewson
Now what do you say we take it apart before everyone goes crazy?
Paul
No, I'm sorry. I can't do that right now.
Dr. Matthewson
This isn't accomplishing anything.
Paul
Sure it is.
Dr. Matthewson
What?
Paul
Deterrence.
Dr. Matthewson
Deterrence?
Paul
Yeah. You know, when each side thinks that they're going to blow everybody up. It's called mutually assured destruction.
Dr. Matthewson
Yeah, I know what it's called.
Paul
Well, it's working, isn't it?
Dr. Matthewson
How do you mean?
Paul
I'm still alive, aren't I?
