You let me know as soon as the Faraday Cage is completed. SCIENTIST: I'm told they're almost done. (hesitates) You really think this is all necessary? BRANDON FAYETTE: We're standing underneath a giant lightning rod. It's unclear what kind of electrostatic discharge the device may give off. SECRETARY BISHOP: (steps through the open lab door) Good morning. SECRETARY BISHOP: How long before we're ready?
