Open source transcript

IF YOU FINISH BY THE DEADLINE, I'LL RECOMMEND YOU FOR A MILLION- DOLLAR BONUS.

YOU'RE LYING.

I'M SERIOUS.

BUT YOU'RE ALSO LYING.

ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT.

I'D NEED TO WORK AROUND THE CLOCK FOR WEEKS TO MEET THE DEADLINE!

THAT'S THE SPIRIT!

IF YOU'RE LYING ABOUT THE BONUS, I'M GOING TO BE BOILING MAD.

FIVE WEEKS LATER IT NEARLY KILLED ME, BUT I FINISHED BY THE DEADLINE.

WHERE'S MILLION- DOLLAR BONUS?

I TOLD YOU I'D RECOMMEND IT.

THEY SAID NO.
