Edison, the Man Page #4

---

Tom, here comes the sheriff.

The sheriff in person. I'd better evaporate.

Busco a Thomas Edison.

- Who here is Tom Edison? - Can I help you?

Of course yes, Mr. Edison, here I have an auto claim.

What does that mean?

It is a lawsuit to recover a property held illegally.

- Like what? - As this machinery unpaid.

Do not worry about it, sheriff.

I'll take care of these things earlier this month.

He has not dealt with them, there's the rub.

I will have missed some details.

- This is a garnishment order. - Oh, that's another story.

You have one week to pay

all this machinery or be seized.

I understand, did a paper anymore?

A summons to justify why have not executed yet.

That does not work. It has given the claim.

No, this garnishment overrides everything else.

- I understand, and is it true? - Should, how would I know?

Maybe you need a habeas-corpus. Everything else has.

- You drink? - Yes, but I'm sober now.

I also go somewhere where I can invite a drink.

Yes, that's a good idea. I never discuss anything without a drink.

Nothing like a drink to clear his mind.

Mr. Edison I've also done a little invention.

- Magnificent, is it child? - No, I do not mean that.

Tom, Tom, the sheriff is gone.

I am an ostrich.

Whenever I have problems I put my head here.

I do not know why I laugh.

We have problems.

Incidentally, the sheriff said you have one week to pay.

One week.

One week.

In a week it can destroy what it took five years to build.

It's a shame, you must have a fortune invested in the laboratory.

No matter the money, but the lives involved in it.

That's all I swore to do in life and the weekly pay of my men.

Means, house, shelter, clothing, food for many families.

A week can not destroy everything.

Uncle Ben, I have to do something. And I accept suggestions.

- Are you kidding, Tom? - I would be.

- I had never asked for advice. - Then you must have many.

Well, if I were you, with inventor and all that,

then he invents something.

Invent something quick? So all of a sudden?

- Yes, and the sooner the better. - Can I suggest something?

What about the light you were always talking about?

That running on electricity, you remember?

If I remember.

I think it's time that invent.

But always says nonsense, but when he speaks of that light, it seems reasonable.

Do not give more laps, Tom. If you could invent that.

Yes, if I could invent that.

- Uncle Ben, would you do something for me? - Of course, Tom.

Can you tell my wife did not dine at home?

And maybe I will not be home for breakfast coffee.

I'll stay here and work in that light.

Tom!

- Hola, Mary. - Tom, mrate.

- If you took it over, it would be great. - Do not you think you should rest?

- I can not stop now. - You've been locked up four days.

Children do not even ask about you.

You have to rest and eat.

I took some milk and apple pie.

- It was yesterday. - I have to work.

That may not be so important.

It is more important to me than anything in the world.

Nothing is more important than health, you are destroying.

Come home with me.

- Please. - Leave me alone.

Leave me alone, I'm working, you're interrupting me.

Do I need your permission to do my job?

You're not working, you're killing yourself.

According.

- Please leave me alone. - All right, Tom.

Come in.

- Tom. - Yes?

I do not understand these specifications.

This clay, what kind of clay is?

White, ordinary clay. Wrap the wire in it.

- Okay, now I see. - Michael.

Suppose that the workshop should become another, would it matter?

Not for us, as long as you follow with us.

Suppose I admit to General Powell as a partner.

And of course, Mr. Taggart.

Good.

If you have to do that ...

It seems to me well.

That's it, Michael.

- Only 1 minute or 2, please. - I did not know it was so.

Is very sick.

- Hi Tom! - Hello, General.

- I'm glad you came. - It would have been before you know it.

Why the secrecy? Why do not you want your friends know?

- Everything is alright? - All right.

- Really? - Really. Everything goes smoothly.

Money grows like a grain of corn on the cob.

Taggart saw the other day.

He said something about helping.

Help me? No need for help.

Do not rely too much on Taggart.

Do not worry about that, generally, and get good soon.

I'm doing what I can, Tom.

I want to be here when he invented the light.

- That light. - It will be, General.

It seems that General Powell will take time to recover.

Anyway, I can not wait that long. I need the money immediately.

Okay, Mr. Edison. How much money do you need?

- It is a considerable sum. - No matter, no matter at all.

General Powell believes that you are a man with a future.

If the general believe in a person, me too.

What's your number?

$ 50,000.

Bucks? 50,000

Suppose I give you $ 100,000.

- 100,000? - That's.

- I do not need much. - Do not know what the future will bring.

At the moment I am able to give you a check for $ 100,000.

That's great, wonderful.

I would like to express how happy I am.

Is nothing. Is nothing.

I can do experiments for 3 years without worry.

Of course, if you pay the money, I hope to have some authority

to decide the type of work that has to be done in Meldo Park.

Not that.

Do not misunderstand me, I just want the right to

make sure that everything is made profitable.

It is a small step in securing my money, if you please.

Well, I do care.

I am an inventor, you can not tell me what I should do. I do what I want.

Working ideas, visionary realities.

I do not even know how useful or profitable they can be

if any been able to implement my way.

It is not in a position to demand do things his way.

Yes it's correct.

And you want to take advantage of it. He wants to chain.

Pinselo bien, Sr. Edison.

No, it will not be necessary, I do not want your money at this price.

I prefer to wait until General Powell is able to speak.

Very good.

Mr. Edison, General Paul is dead.

This could be a good time to sit down and mourn.

But we will not because that would get us nowhere.

I know we've had problems before but

at the last moment always it appeared something that allowed us to continue.

Do you remember the chemical telegraph? It was a fluke.

And the quadruplex and electric pen?

These things were when we most needed.

But this time nothing happened.

Maybe I've been waiting for a miracle. In any case, it has not happened.

And I have more time.

We are left penniless.

Y...

Forgive me for saying so, but

You're fired.

Wait a few days, Tom, I know what will solve the new telegraph.

Thank you, Jack, but we can not wait.

You need money to live and I also.

And we have nothing, except that I have to indemnizaros.

- Tom, I can say only one word? - Do not.

The less said the better.

Boys, I want to thank you for everything you did for me.

Pay them. That is all.

Santa has arrived.

Hi Tom.

Hi Tom.

Hello Mary.

I think I need not say I'm sorry, right?

I do not know.

You can try.

Do you mind if I try it tomorrow?
