Abe
And I don't think there's ever been any reason to show you what I'm capable of...but I'm telling you this now. Go out there and do whatever it is you want. There's no way in the world I can stop you, but don't come back here. And don't come near them. Any of them.

I just want you to see it the way I saw it.
Aaron
I am trying, okay, I really am here.
Abe
Look, everything we're putting into that box becomes ungrounded, and I don't mean grounded like to the earth, I mean, not tethered. I mean, we're blocking whatever keeps it moving forward and so they flip-flop. Inside the box it's like a street - both ends are cul-de-sacs. I mean, this isn't frame dragging or wormhole magic, this is basic mechanics and heat 101.
Aaron
This is not mechanics and heat.
Abe
[Notices Aaron's ear is bleeding]
Whoa. You're bleeding.
Aaron
[Takes handkerchief and places in on his ear]
I got it.
Aaron
[Holds it to his ear]
Is this normal? This isn't normal.
Abe
For the machine?
Aaron
[Irritated]
No, for people! What you think, it's the machine?
Aaron
[Abe looks as if to help]
All right, I got it!
Abe
Do you have anything important going on at work today?
Aaron
I hope you're not implying that any day is unimportant at Cortex Semi.
Aaron
So...does it hurt?
Abe
Yeah. Yeah it does a little.
