How did you get over here?
:21:02
Do you know what they do
with engineers when they turn 40?

:21:05
They take them out and shoot them.
:21:07
What the hell, Abe?
You could have just shown me the pictures.

:21:10
- I want you to believe it.
- Believe what, the protein?

:21:13
- I believe you.
- Okay, look...

:21:15
this guy already thinks it's a joke,
so he may be a little defensive.

:21:19
Really? Why would he think that?
:21:33
Please.
:21:36
Aspergillus Ticor.
:21:39
This is a fungus that's everywhere.
:21:41
It's in our bed, our skin,
sometimes even our GI tract. Everywhere.

:21:46
It's basically the reason you don't leave
things in dark, damp, closed-off places.

:21:51
Thank you.
Do you have that sample I brought?

:21:58
There it is. Terger. T-E-R-G-E-R.
:22:02
Okay, when I showed you this,
tell him what you thought.

:22:08
- You thought it was a joke, right?
- It is a joke.

:22:12
Right, but how did you know?
:22:17
Will you show him? Please?
:22:28
This is how I get protein A
out of Aspergillus Ticor. We sweeten it.

:22:31
We agitate it. We spin it around.
We sweeten some more.

:22:34
- Takes about a month.
- To get the same amount I brought in.

:22:38
To get the same amount I brought in.
:22:40
So if it's an incubator for fungus,
is that valuable?

:22:42
- That's not what it is.
- Then what is it?

:22:44
There's another way to secrete
that much protein. Do it naturally.

:22:47
But that takes a lot longer.
:22:50
If it has a little moisture and it's left alone,
it'll start secreting and it'll build up...

:22:54
- and build up, but it takes a long time.
- How long?

:22:57
- A long time.
- More than a few days? Then how long?
