Do you know I built a bridge once?
- Sorry? - A bridge.
No, I didn't know that.
I was an engineer by trade.
It went from Dilles Bottom, Ohio, to Moundsville, West Virginia.
It spanned 912 feet above the Ohio River.
12,100 people use this thing a day.
And it cut out 35 miles of extra driving each way
between Wheeling and New Martinsville.
That's a combined 847,000 miles of driving a day.
Or 25,410,000 miles a month.
And 304,920,000 miles a year saved.
Now, I completed that project in 1986. That's 22 years ago.
So over the life of that one bridge,
that's 6,708,240,000 miles that haven't had to be driven at...
What? Let's say 50 miles an hour.
So that's what? That's 134,164,800 hours.
Or 559,020 days.
So that one little bridge has saved the people
of those two communities a combined 1,531 years of their lives
not wasted in a fucking car.
- 1,531 years. - Jesus.
Well, I guess you better get back over there.
- Thanks for coming by. - You're welcome.
Who the fuck is this?
Well, I would imagine it's the firm's people.
They don't want any loose ends.
They fired me. Fuck them. Fuck them.
I totally agree. Fuck them. So come back, take the money,
you'll be home by 5:00.
Otherwise, they're going to fight you on everything.
They're going to fight you on your package, your options, everything.
Be smart.
Well, you're a better man than me.
- That's always been true. - Yes, it has.
- House looks good. - Thanks.
