Are we gonna do this or what? A merger of this size, you understand, with government oversight, our shareholders are a bit skittish, to put it mildly, and they just want to make sure that everything is perfect.

How do you know that? I'm I'm psychic.
LAURA: Stupid or crazy? I'm not crazy.
It's I can't help it.
I hear people's thoughts.
Like, right now, you're thinking about how your ankle hurts, 'cause you tweaked it on the treadmill yesterday, and in there, you were thinking about your son, and how he may be smoking weed and stealing from your wallet at night.

DON: beside myself with not knowing the topic of conversation.
"Relays," is that a race? [CHUCKLES.]

They might not even file, and even if they do, they got to prove we knew those relays were which, good luck with that.
Yes, good luck with that.
We're done here.
LAURA: Come with me.

DAVID: You know, it's you know, there's different possibilities.
You know, there's different configurations.
Multiple realities.
Different realities.
I'm saying.
It's this thing, t-the multiple worlds theory, from, like, quantum mechanics, right? [CHUCKLES.]
And And-and-and, um - [DOOR CHIMES JINGLE.]
- Uh Every event, the things we do, there's like a million possible outcomes.
Choices! Choices.
And the theory is, that each outcome actually happens.
Hmm? Like a tree growing branches, and-and each branch is, like, an alternate timeline.
DAVID: So right now, you're in class, listening to me drone on and on about-about physics, right? [LAUGHS.]
But in another timeline, y-you skipped school.
Y-You've gone to watch Point Break.
[SIRENS WAILING, GUNS FIRING.]
[LAUGHS.]
Or you're in the hospital with leukemia.
[MONITOR BEEPING.]
And, I mean, this reality, right, w-we're sitting here, eating whatever, bullshit cold fries, right? [GIGGLES.]
But i-in another timeline, I'm, like I'm, like, a billionaire.
I'm a billionaire.
Or-or homeless.
Or-or married in the suburbs with, like, 2.
3 kids.
[BIRDS CHIRPING.]
[INHALES.]
[EXHALES.]
And every time each me makes a decision, or something happens where the future could, like, go in different directions, another branch springs up.
And that branch makes branches, and that branch makes branches, and that branch makes branches, and that branch makes branches.
Mm.
