8. That is a really funny scene.

The engineers with fancy engineering degrees lecture two men they think are bumpkins
about the machine. Then they find out the "bumpkins" are the geniuses who built the entire system
with their bare hands from the ground up, piece by piece. I'd love to see the look on the
engineers' faces.

I don't care what your dad said about education, his children becoming educated and equal to the college
boys must have felt good on some level.

Well he must have raised you to not put greed before everything else. He did a good job.

He sounds like a character and quite a man.
