Escape Room

Fuck!

Okay, I've got ten numbers, four spots.

I need a four-digit code.

No, no, no.

Shit! What now?

Shit.

Jesus Christ.

Clues.

Shit. Okay.

That's nothing.

"Follow the light to greener pastures."

What does that mean? What does that mean?

Light? What light?

Light. Follow the light.

Green. Green book, yeah.

Greener pastures. Okay. Yeah, all right.

Oh!

"At any point in history, to watch another die,

unveils time's great mystery, while leaving you alive."

Time. Time. Some kind of clock.

Shit.

Where's the clock?

I don't see a goddamn clock!

"To watch another person die." Yeah. Okay, yeah.

"To watch another person die."

Oh, shit!

Okay. They're pointing! Let's see.

It's time. It's hands on a clock. Yeah.

That one's four! Four o'clock!

Eight.

Six!

Two! That's the number, that's the code!

Okay. Where's the four? Shit. Come on.

All right. Okay. Yeah, good.

Come on, come on! Eight!

Six.

Oh, my God.

Where's the...? Six, six, six!

Oh, God!

Two, two! Yeah. Okay. Come on.

Come on.

Come on! Why isn't it working?

Oh, shit.

Come on.

Open! Come on, open!

Oh, God, there's no way out!

Please get me out!

Shit! No!

No!

Has anyone ever heard the saying,

"A watched pot never boils"?

Well, on a quantum scale, that may actually be true.

Does anyone know what the quantum Zeno effect is?

Wow, guys, not all at once now.

Well, it may well be

one of the oddest things in quantum physics.

Simply put, observation stops movement.

Atoms won't change while you watch them.

All right, that's all the time we have.

Have a good holiday. See you after the break.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Zoey, can I talk to you for a minute?

I read your paper on the quantum Zeno effect.

So, you want to be heard.

You want to share what you know,

but only in the safety of your own dorm room?

I'll try and speak up more.

It might seem like reducing the number of variables

in your life will control the outcome,

but life isn't a science experiment.

You can't contain your world forever.

Try doing one thing that scares you

over break, okay?

Okay.

Ray, it's Jason. Listen.

You want to buy a boat by retirement, right?

Well, keep focusing on these low-beta stocks,

and it's going to be a rowboat with rented oars.

By the end of the first quarter,

the market's going to see a 10-percent return,

while you'll be sailing away with 30.

Uh-huh.

Hey, you won't regret it.

I must be like the Mr. Miyagi of trading to you, Charlie.

"Mr...?"

Jesus Christ, kid, what year were you born?

He's this wise, old Japanese man

who taught a kid karate so he could beat up other kids.

Mr. Ackerman for you on line one.

100 bucks says I'm getting a gift.

Congratulations, Mr. Ackerman. Are you celebrating?

Well, thank you. Thank you, Mr. Ackerman.

No. No, no, no, I couldn't accept a gift.

Uh-huh.

A private jet. To Tahiti?

Wow.

Your home there. Uh-huh.

Heh.

Now, that sounds like a hell of a weekend.

Man who catch fly with chopstick...

accomplish anything.

You, beginner luck.

Wax on, wax off.

Hey, Gary. I, uh...

I heard there was...

an opening up front at checkout.

I could use the bump.

I'm trying to move out of my mom's.

It's starting to cramp her style.

Look, I feel for you, kid.

I really do. You know, I do.

It's just putting you out front would be bad for business.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm not cut out for

customer service shit anyhow, so...

Ben...

you've got to find healthier ways to unwind.

Go outside, make a friend.

- I didn't mean to... - It's fine, it's fine. Sorry.

Yeah. Thanks, Gary.

A messenger dropped this off for you.

It's from Mr. Ackerman.

Of course it is.

This better be keys to a Tesla.

"For always thinking outside the box."

Well, it seems like Mr. Ackerman has graduated

from sending single malts to boxes that don't open.

Yeah. Rich people are weird.

Money can't buy you happiness.

You better afford your own brand of misery, Charlie.

- Happy Thanksgiving. - Whatever. I'll be in tomorrow.

Hey, offer still stands.

Are you sure you don't want to come

to my family's for Thanksgiving?

Thank you, but, you know,

big family dinners aren't really my thing.

Okay.

You know, I'm really psyched about having time to myself.

I've been wanting to take a stab

at one of those cuboid conjectures for, like, forever.

It's really cool, actually.

They claim irreducibility

of three univariate polynomials

with integer coefficients and if that is true,

then Euler's concept of a perfect box can't exist.

Wow.

You know, sometimes I wonder if you just make up words

because you know I won't Google them.

Not again.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Well, I'm out of here.

Okay.

Hey, this is for you.

It's from your professor.

- Oh. - Wait.

You guys aren't doing it, are you?

What? No.

Well, have fun playing with your...

box.

Bye, Allison.

Bye.

"Open new doors."

"A chance to escape."

Remember, the puzzle box is intuitive.

You don't want to force it.

Snap, crackle, and...

Heh.

I hate you.

Give this to the guy that failed eighth grade math.

Great idea, Gary.

This is the biggest waste of...

"This serves as an entry voucher for Minos Escape Rooms."

"Be the first to escape our most immersive rooms yet

and win $10,000."

Hi.

This is the Minos building?

- I think so. - Thanks.

Yeah, it's going to kill me, I know.

Hi.

Yeah. I'm here for the escape room.

ID please.

Thanks.

- Most guys buy me dinner first. - I need to collect your phone.

Really? Why?

You can't be Twittering pictures of the puzzles.

- Okay. - Third floor.

Okay, thanks.

Thank you for your service.

Hold the door, please.

I always sneak in a second one.

- The waiting rooms can get so boring. - Mm.

Yes!

Please have a seat. Someone will be with you shortly.

Okay, thanks.

Quite the welcome wagon, isn't she?

Super friendly. Heh.

- Hey, Michael. Mike. - Amanda.

- Your name's Amanda? - Yeah.

- Isn't that funny? - What?
