"Well, to start with, I'm an idea man." "It's my raison d'être." "Mmm, Raisin Detra." "I've hit a dry patch." "I'm blocked." "In my personal drought, I'm traveling the country quietly by spaceship, looking for... inspiration." "That's so sad." "Maybe we're the same." "Two lost ships in the intellectual sea." "Each of whom could inspire the other to reach..." "Hey, Elon, if you're interested, you could come to the nuclear plant where I work tomorrow." "I am and I will!" "Great." "And if anyone asks where I am, just cover for me." "Homer!" "Fine!" "We'll both go, and if anybody asks you something you don't understand, just say protons."

"How much would you charge to work for me?" "I don't care about the money." "The whole monetary system is just a series of interconnected heterogeneous databases." "Could you repeat that first part?" "I don't care about the money." "Once more... with feeling?" "I don't care about the money." "Now, let me feel the vibrations of your lips." "(muffled):" "I don't care about the money." "And I want you to get your fingers out of my mouth!" "Smithers, there's something strange in his mouth." "It's called moisture." "Hmm, I see." "Okay, Musk, what do you propose?" "Well, you'll need to increase the capacity of your plant." "You cover the costs, you get 100% of the profits." "Careful, Elon, he's not as kindly as he appears." "(creaking)" "Now, Burns, what if everything in town not powered by electricity were powered my electricity." "The electricity you sell them." "Imagine that." "(gasps) My doctor says I'm not allowed to imagine, so I hired someone to do it for me." "Send in the imaginer." "(humming)" "Oh, that's fabulous." "Oh, my goodness, I can see everything." "I'm in." "Oh, by the way, Mr. Burns?" "I haven't been paid in a while." "Here you go." "Imagine." "Ooh, Swiss francs!" "Time to take my wife for a night on the town." "Hey, wait a minute!" "(sniffs)" "So, what kind of lunch do you pack?" "Wow, Elon, you're like Willy Wonka without the underpaid munchkins." "Uh, I'd like to offer you something." "But all I got is coffee." "With cream!" "Come on, I want cream." "Give it up." "(grunting)" "D'oh!" "Cream and sugar are one thing too many!" "(triumphant orchestra music playing)" "Exactly, exactly!" "What if we made the cream cup out of sugar so it dissolved in the coffee?" "Wow." "Wow!" "Between your genius and my nothing, we make a great team!" "Come on, give me a hug."

"Of course not." "If I knew how to make a fist, I'd hit you." "This is wonderful, Smithers." "For once in my life, something's going my way." "I'm not so sure." "Oh, another visit from Mr. Worrywart." "I don't trust Musk." "Anyone with that much money has a darkness in his soul." "Says you." "(sighs)" "SMITHERS:" "Mr. Burns?" "Mr. Burns?" "Sir," "Musk's ideas sound great, too great." "We're meant for wretched lives." "We should pass on this." "And before you reply, remember," "I've never let you down." "You know what I'm going to say, right?" "Release the..." "I was going to say" ""Get out," but your idea sounds better." "(sighs) Can you give me a ten-second head start?" "Of course."
