The eye scanners don't show us nothing. There is no record about him in the system. That makes absolutely no sense what so ever.

JOHN
Calm down.

FRANK
How am I suppose to be calm. This guy, if he's a guy...
↩ Reply
JOHN
He could be a she, or a they, or a whatnot.

FRANK
Exactly, we have absolutely no clue.

JOHN
Let's go over the case again and everything will get clear. All you need to do is calm down and focus.

No it wont.

JOHN
Shut up! And calm the fuck down!

FRANK
You, calm down.

Dramatic pause.

FRANK
Okay... Let's go over the case. Somebody is stealing the money. How? We don't know. Why? We don't know. Who? We don't know. And that is what baffles me.

What does Gepetto say?
↩ Reply
FRANK
Gepetto says that it is impossible. That every transaction leaves behind a trail of digital footprints. That computers should be able to put together how, who and even why, somebody stole the money. If it is even possible to begin with. Gepetto also says that stealing money is impossible.

Gepetto sounds like my second wife.

FRANK
What are you on about?
↩ Reply
JOHN
My second wife used to bullshit a lot. And always in such ways that nothing ever makes any sense.
↩ Reply
FRANK
Why would Gepetto bullshit?
↩ Reply
JOHN
Maybe he doesn't. He doesn't know what he is talking about.

Frank takes out a device that looks like a phone, but more futuristic-looking. On it he opens what looks like a chat app named "Gepetto". He types "Do you know what you are talking about?"

After a few seconds an answer comes back "Certainly, Gepetto always knows everything.".

FRANK
( showing the phone )

See, Gepetto knows what he is talking about.
↩ Reply
JOHN
Did you just ask Gepetto that?
↩ Reply
FRANK
Yes. Why?
↩ Reply
JOHN
Well... in this case there is a motive. A motive to lie. Gepetto wants you to use him. Obviously he will answer that he knows things.
↩ Reply
FRANK
Ask your Gepetto if my Gepetto knows things.
↩ Reply
John pulls out his phone and asks his Gepetto chat app "Does Frank's Gepetto knows things?".
