Aaron:
You want to put my camcorder inside the box that's so dangerous we can't look into it.
[pause. He accepts the fate of the camcorder]
Aaron:
If something happens, would you pay me back?
Abe:
So we have a slightly negative pressure in the box. So we're ready for the argon.
[He puts a Weeble into the device's box]
Aaron:
Wait, which one is that?
Abe:
It's the blue one.
Aaron:
The blue one.
Abe:
I weighed it at 77 grams. I set the scale to decagrams, though. I'm showing 7. 7 decagrams. Ready for .05 liters of argon.
[Aaron is checking tubing and proceeding to start the machine up]
Abe:
Ready?
Aaron:
Just the plate first, right?
Abe:
Right, first just the plate, and then we'll...
[the device begins to hum]
Abe:
Okay. Let's just give it a second.
[Aaron watches the diode readout, which begins at 7.7, then falls to 7.4, 7.2, 6.9]
Aaron:
You want to do the box now?
Abe:
[happily]
Yeah. Okay, let's go through the checklist, and - Aaron, hold on a second. Let's make sure everything's set up right. Hold on, Aaron. Wait! Just wait! Okay.
[Aaron pushes a toggle. The device becomes loud and the TV screen shows the Weeble agitating rapidly inside the box]
Aaron:
Anything? Is this normal?
Abe:
I don't know.
Aaron:
I'm turning it off.
Abe:
Wait! No.
Aaron:
It's my camera, we don't have enough money...
[the device suddenly powers down]
Aaron:
Okay, I didn't do that.
Abe:
Did we blow something?
