The Twilight Zone1959
William Feathersmith:
[Over the hilarious montage tracing his efforts to "invent" the self-starter, and other modern conveniences, well before their time; he succeeds only in making a laughingstock of himself]... I wanna talk to you about something that'll turn your two-bit toolshed into a factory... What do you mean, enlarge on it? It's a gizmo you press with your foot that starts an engine with an electric motor... What is it used for? It's used to make twelve hundred jillion smackers, that's what it's used for... Listen, are you all there? It's a storage battery; it's a motor; it's a do-hickey that starts the motor! I've given you the principle, now all you have to do is build it... Look, I am not a crummy draftsman or a cheap blueprint boy; I am a promoter, a financier. I'm gonna give you the backing; I've already given you the principle; now all you have to do is *build it*... There's everything under the sun, and you sit around fixing tricycle pedals! All it takes is a little imagination, a little brains... *You foggy-headed carriage builders, we could make ourselves eleventy-zillion dollars!*
