aII you got to do is ask.

AIIow me.

With four penciIs, I'm Iike a

pre-programmed penciI processor.

I do aII the work so you don't have to.

No batteries required.

(EX CLAIMS )

Whoa!

So, what do you think?

Is that Iike what you had in mind?

RAYMOND:
But this design is even

more compIicated than mine was.

There's no way our team can buiId this.

They'II hate me for these.

Hmm, I see. Amateurs.

WeII, here's another idea.
