Donna: Well, I was just a little bit surprised because, you know, you'd struggled for so long.

00:00:17

So I just -- I have to ask --

00:00:20

Who wrote the new algorithm?

00:00:25

I mean, I did.

00:00:27

Though I gotta give Bos credit.

00:00:30

He had a great idea.

00:00:32

Yeah, we're calling it the, uh, the "waiting room" concept.

00:00:35

People wait in line in life. Why not on the web?

00:00:38

[Chuckles]

00:00:39

So I-I created a-a queuing program.

00:00:42

Yeah. Our crawler was rude.

00:00:45

I had to teach that sucker some manners.

[MIDI music plays] I don't get it.

I mean, the last time we looked at it, that was a bad thing.

00:16:26

Yeah, I understand the instinct.

00:16:27

And in most circumstances, I would agree. But --

00:16:32

It makes no sense to bring in a head of business development when we don't have a staff!

00:16:36

Hey, we're just talking here, dude.

00:16:38

Vera: We're all grateful for your leadership, Donna, but I think that we have more than proven ourselves.

00:16:44

And I would appreciate it --

00:16:46

Well, we would all appreciate the respect of being able to run our own company without this much interference.

00:16:55

You are an excellent programmer.

00:16:57

Thanks.

00:16:58

And considering all you've accomplished in the last couple months,

00:17:01

I don't see a big value add in additional engineers.

00:17:04

Yeah, I-I get that.

00:17:06

Um, but, you know, I mean, think of -- think of what I could accomplish if I didn't have to worry about the cosmetic stuff or the database.

00:17:14

It's just distracting.

00:17:15

And if I could just focus on -- on developing functionality, you know, who knows what's possible?

00:17:22

So you don't need programmers. You just need coding grunts?

00:17:25

Uh, well, both. We need both.

00:17:28

Well...

00:17:30

I want you to have what you need.

00:17:32

Thank you. Thanks.

00:17:34

You won't regret it.

00:17:35

But the idea of search isn't proprietary, and our process, however, is.

00:17:41

So before we bring in any outside talent, why don't we get you with our legal team and file all the necessary patents?

00:17:48

We did that back when we got seed.

00:17:50

That patent was for a medical records indexing method.

00:17:53

Do you believe that covers Cecil's recent innovations?

00:17:57

The lawyers are gonna want detailed specifications -- how it works, what it does -- in writing.

00:18:03

And I -- Don't you think we're being overly cautious here?

00:18:06

No, I think I'm being the exact right amount of cautious.

00:18:10

I assume that's not gonna be a problem.

00:18:12

No. No problem at all.

00:18:13

Once we lock down the I.P., you can have all the engineers you want.

00:18:33

I'm telling you, she knows. [Sighs]

00:18:36

She's got her suspicions. She can't prove anything.

00:18:39

Who cares if she can prove it?

00:18:40

She can make my life miserable. She already is.

00:18:42

You've gotta get it the hell together, all right?

00:18:45

Get with the lawyers, walk them through how this thing works, and then move on.

You're not hearing me. I can't.

All right, there are these chunks of what I wrote in there, but the way it's connected, I-I get what's happening, but I can't explain it.

Oh, I never told you.

00:19:30

No. What?

00:19:32

You're not gonna believe it.

00:19:33

It's an old woman tied to a bed. Close.

00:19:35

It's a parrot on a chair.

00:19:39

What? A huge one.

00:19:40

A macaw, maybe.

00:19:42

No. The screams were human.

00:19:44

I know.

00:19:46

Wait. How did you get in?

00:19:48

There was a leak in Shinsuke's apartment, so Toshiaki had to open the place up for a plumber, and I just knew that that was my only chance.

00:19:56

Oh! What -- What about the scraping?

00:19:57

It's a chair.

00:19:59

What?

00:20:00

It's the chair.

00:20:01

One of those metal ones with the -- with the heart on the back.

00:20:04

The bird would drag the chair... from one window to another.

00:20:10

And at first, I couldn't figure out why, until I saw that there's a cat in the alley.

00:20:16

So they had this intraspecies game of peek-a-boo going on.

00:20:21

It's so bizarre.

00:20:22

So a bird... Yeah.

00:20:24

...drags the chair... with its beak?

00:20:28

It's a big bird.

Donna, it's not your fault.

00:40:32

You weren't there. You don't know.

00:40:36

Yeah, well, he owes 300 grand.

00:40:41

Sunk a bunch of money into a bad deal and didn't tell Diane.

00:40:45

It's probably the real reason he went to work for you.

00:40:47

You know, he came to me first asking to borrow it,

00:40:50

and I turned him down,

00:40:52

so, if you're assigning blame to anyone...

00:41:01

Donna.

00:41:04

You gonna be okay?

00:41:07

Sure.

00:41:08

Yes.
