"So... I'm thinkin'. What if it's a sci-fi story—"

"Sci-fi?"

Christopher plows ahead. "Science fiction, Paulie. And your car always knows where you are? Maybe? So that means your wife and your goomah might know too."

"That's not science fiction. That is a horror movie," Tony says.

Paulie lectures Christopher "Stick to what's important. Your job. Not a dumb story about something that will never happen."

Silvio "I saw this documentary thing few months ago. Technology is improving fast. Very fast. The story could be speculative fiction even. That car thing could happen in our lifetimes. Providing that... You know... We live to old age."

Christopher "See - Silvio thinks it could work."

Paulie - "Documentaries? Speculative fiction? What is this NYU? This is the Bing. Heh-heh-heh-heh."

"It's a horror movie - is what it is," Tony says a little too loudly to be sotto voce.

He lied. He didn't watch a documentary. He actually read a seven article series called The Future in "Popular Mechanics". He has a subscription. But he didn't want the guys to know any of that.
