to head up that lab should be the man

who developed that concept

Brandon brindle well sir Branton brindle

small wonder we'll return after these

messages mr. Jennings you can't be

Brandon Brendel head of a new

cybernetics lab why are you so surprised

why his design for a synovial joint was

brilliant absolutely brilliant Larson

that's Lawson his design it was mine I

should head up that new lab the other

way Brandon gets a good ideas to steal

one Oh if Einstein worked in Brandon's

department we'd now have brindle's

theory of relativity and I have no

reason to doubt Rendell's word Larson

us to make the gravy yeah excuse me

something really interesting mr.

Jennings you can't be serious and I I

mean you can't turn your company over to

a child mr. Jennings said it's important

to honor a wager and he's not a well

sure it's a matter of Honor but you

don't forget to leave the key to the

executive washroom Pannu oh it's it's my

own fault

give it back I mean in hey listen if

it's a gift then you're not a welsher

right no no that's true you're a very

generous man Ted tab fine upstanding man

what's that you're an idiot for giving

it back how do you told me mr. Jennings

was coming over to dinner I thought of

course you'd want us to come - did

you're welcome here no I'm not too

enthusiastic about Ted's attitude either

when I take over the new lab I could

fire him you know a a man is brilliant

and sensitive was my boss mr. Jennings

Sheen backed me up

- mom you'll never believe what just

happened

Vicky clobber mr. Jang's had pull on the

company oh I would have won his house
