Hello? Secret Agent Lady?
Come in. Are you there?
365
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Oh, Bang, thank goodness you're back.
366
00:16:44,083 --> 00:16:46,333
Have you been able
to find out anything useful?
367
00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:49,333
I'm getting a little uncomfortable.
368
00:16:52,208 --> 00:16:56,125
Oh, yeah. I learned all about
how lasers work. Check it out.
369
00:16:56,625 --> 00:17:01,583
You see, all light is made up
of these little things called photons.
370
00:17:01,666 --> 00:17:04,375
-Bang--
-They're these little particles of light.
371

They, like, bounce back
and forth and stuff.

00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:08,000
Bang? Excuse me.
373
00:17:08,083 --> 00:17:10,458
And then there's
this really cool ruby crystal
374
00:17:10,541 --> 00:17:12,125
that gives off lots of photons--

00:17:12,208 --> 00:17:13,041
[yells] Bang!

00:17:13,958 --> 00:17:15,875
Just-- I don't think
we have time right now

00:17:15,958 --> 00:17:18,708
to go
into a full technical discussion, so…
378
00:17:18,791 --> 00:17:20,166
Oh, yeah. Sorry, dude.
379
00:17:20,666 --> 00:17:24,083
No, no. You know what?
I'm-- I'm sorry I raised my voice.
380
00:17:24,166 --> 00:17:27,625
I'm just-- [sighs]
I'm sorry, this laser is stressing me out.
381
00:17:28,125 --> 00:17:30,291
Oh, no. I-- I totally get it, dude.
382
00:17:30,375 --> 00:17:31,708
Okay, good. I'm so glad.
383
00:17:31,791 --> 00:17:34,916
But were you able to find out
anything, you know, helpful
384
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,666
in shutting this thing down?
385
00:17:36,750 --> 00:17:39,666
Well, I did learn
that lasers need energy to make light.
386
00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:43,208
Energy. That's it!
You figured it out, Bang.

388
00:17:44,833 --> 00:17:45,708

Miss Secret Agent Lady.
