[Abe is showing Aaron what he has learned about the device's control over time, and Aaron is sweating, nervous. The clock shows 7 minutes past 2 a.m]
Abe:
Did you notice those? When you were controlling the feeds, did you notice the parabolic? Hey, it's important. Parabolas are important. Here, look at this.
Aaron:
I don't know, Abe.
Abe:
Now, I'm gonna start it up and let it run for sixty seconds with, with nothing in it, okay, it's empty this time.
Aaron:
[watching the time]
That's twenty-two.
Abe:
In all the equations that describe motion and heat...
[They start to cross-talk over each other]
Aaron:
Now, just one minute, just a second...
Abe:
...in all the Feynman diagrams, what's the one variable that you can turn into negative and still get rational answers from?
Aaron:
That's one minute out here...
Abe:
It's not mass, it's not...
Aaron:
Twenty-two hours...
Abe:
It's about twenty-two hundred.
Aaron:
...twenty-two minutes in the box.
Abe:
It's an odd, it's an odd number.
Aaron:
How many minutes is it? That's thirteen hundred, forty-seven minutes.
Abe:
Okay, yeah, thirteen forty-seven, you got that fast.
Aaron:
How - Why is it odd? How did you know it was odd?
Abe:
Because this is it, okay? This is what's going on...
