Nukees - Friday, June 2, 2000 [[GavCam - Danny knocking off part of THE MACHINE, causing flood]] / Gav: "I'll admit it was DANNY who first discovered the device was modular. (Next slide, Steve)" / Gav: "I suppose the sudden release of water was responsible for my discovery of the vent. (Next)" / [[GavCam - Gav's hand and foot sluicing towards drain/vent]] / Gav: "But it was I that deducted what made this machine TRULY worth stealing..."}} / [[GavCam shot, from floor, of Danny (on floor), and standard, 5-15P electrical plug]]

Who's narrating here? / King Luca: In fact, dont' we award grants for that? / Gav: WAIT! what WOULD constitute treason in your realm, Luca? / King Luca: The only one I can ever remember is the one about not addressing me as "King" Luca, but it's not heavily enforced.
Nukees - Wednesday, June 7, 2000 King Luca: So how much of this machine have you guys stolen? / Gav: Almost the whole thing. Danny's been assembling it all week. / King Luca: CAN WE SEE? / Gav: Other than the seventeen reasons that just sprang to mind, I don't see why not. / [[Gav, King Luca, and Steve entering lab and staring up at THE MACHINE]] / King Luca: It... uh... got bigger. / Gav: You noticed that too, did you?
Nukees - Friday, June 9, 2000 [[High-up shot of THE MACHINE]] / Danny: Near as I can figure, it generates sonoluminescence within a deuterium Bose-Einstein condensate which is magnetically confined within a matrix ... / Gav: What does that mean in ENGLISH Danny? / Danny: It doesn't mean ANYTHING in english. / Gav: Well, what does it DO? / Danny: I have no idea, but try to turn it off!
Nukees - Monday, June 12, 2000 [[Suzy, lying on quad lawn in summer dress, reading psych books]] / Suzy: [[Thinking]] Ugh. I can't believe I have to become TOTALLY SANE and WELL-ADJUSTED by summer's end just to serve as a role model to a bunch of insecure psychology majors just to justify my DUCHESSNESSHOODNESS... / [[Dog catching frisbee]] / Suzy: [[Thinking]] ..Especially when there's more info in these books on MANIPULATING weak minds as there is on CURING them.

Nukees - Friday, June 16, 2000 G-Man: Ma'am, withholding information from a federal agent is a serious offense... / [[Suzy Gee rolls over and sits up in summer dress]] / Suzy Gee: You know, it was first shown by Milgram in 1963 that EXPERT authority, based on the perceived intellect of the authority figure is AS effective in influencing action as that of "COERSIVE authority." As such, please SCOOT from here with some degree of CELERITY. / Suzy Gee: [[Thinking]] Ooh! Chapter 5: GROUP psychology!
Nukees - Monday, June 19, 2000 Suzy Gee: Okay Gav! I just lied to a Federal Agent for you! Front AND center! I demand an explanation!! / [[Gav poking out from under a potted palm]] / Gav: New Coke was just a marketing ploy to get people to miss the Old Coke. / Suzy Gee: ABOUT THE F.B.I.! / Gav: Sorry, that's TWO explanations.
Nukees - Wednesday, June 21, 2000 Suzy Gee: I mean, there I was, innocently studying how to MANIPULATE people when along comes this rude man with the most OBVIOUS sunglasses. / Gav: WHEN? WHO? MANIPUWHAT? / Suzy Gee: Yeah, King Luca's got me actually READING my psych books. There's a whole section on getting large groups of people to do everything you say... / [[Gav suddenly out of potted palm]] / Gav: I'd like to thank you in advance for becoming my business partner despite the appalling lack of recompense! / Suzy Gee: OH NO!
Nukees - Friday, June 23, 2000 Suzy Gee: All right, Gav. Buy me a drink and lets go over your business plan. / Gav: WHO? WHERE? MANIPUWHAT? / Gav: You're JOINING me? No fight? / Suzy Gee: What's the point? I read the book. You'll just wear me down and prey on my insecurities until I say yes. THIS WAY, I retain my self-esteem and get a free cosmo. / Suzy Gee: His tab. / Gav: YOU WON'T JOIN ME BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID OF SUCCESS! / Suzy Gee: Stop!

Nukees - Wednesday, June 28, 2000 [[Gav and Suzy looking at the ever-growing MACHINE]] / Suzy: You and Danny need to work on this thing. It needs to fit on a tabletop.

You do remember we're aiming for America's largest market? / Gav: STUPID PEOPLE! / Suzy: Something like that...
Nukees - Friday, June 30, 2000 [[Graph showing standard bell curve]] / Gav: See, this bell curve represents humanity's intelligence. You and I are up here... / Suzy Gee: "Well, I'M up there to be sure." / [[Gav drawing change to graph showing higher max pop, same center, but smaller standard deviation]] / Gav: Now THIS curve represents a "lower" mammalian species, say... raccoons... / [[Circle on graph showing difference between "human" and "raccoon" maximum X]] / Gav: While OVERALL, we're only AS smart as raccoons, our bigger standard deviation and larger population advances the species. / Suzy Gee: "Gav! That is SO unfair!" / Gav: Raccoons higher? / Suzy Gee: You flatter humans with a bell curve.
Nukees - Monday, July 3, 2000 Suzy Gee: You're assuming a bell curve describes the distribution of human intelligence, which is only true for a statistically RANDOM population. / [[Suzy Gee's left-hunchbacked bell curve for humans]] / Suzy Gee: "However, after only a few generations governed by the universal law of moronic propogation, the I.D.F. will look more like THIS..." / Gav: Universal Law of...? / Suzy Gee: STUPID PEOPLE BREED. / Gav: Suzy Gee, Marry Me NOW.

I can't just introduce you as "Dr. Gav." / Gav: Yes, well, my thesis committee has "issues." / Suzy Gee: No one cares if you really have a Ph.D. It's something else... / Suzy Gee: You DO have a last name, right? / Gav: OH!

Nukees - Wednesday, July 26, 2000 Gav: Ladies and gentlemen--this thing doesn't work. I'm just trying to scam you, selling a perpetual motion machine. If this model had even run, it would have done so due to two "D" batteries under the table. / Gav: In light of tonight's fiascos [sic], I'm declaring this company be named "Blackout Power," then I will immediately dissolve it. Please just rip up your programs, get a refund at the door and go home! / Door: SLAM! / Local News: Berkeley Company Raises $20 Million In Downtown Seminar (by A.
