Javi: I'm not gonna lie. I didn't think you'd come. Nice upgrade from the old van, right?
Faith:Yeah, how are you paying for all this?
Javi: Got investors, you know. Storms are getting more erratic, lot of new housing developments going up, so the developers, they want full-time weather data. So, anytime a new building goes up, I want a StormPAR radar right there letting the people know exactly what the storm's gonna do. I'm telling you, I really feel like we're gonna change the game, Faith. What?
(Faith gives him a look before he said what)
Faith: No, it's just, um... business entrepreneur was not how I saw your future. And we used to feel lucky if we could get you to wear pants.
Javi: Well, that hasn't completely changed.

Scott: You got it?
Javi: Bring it in, team.
[chatter quiets]
Javi: All right. You guys have all heard me talk about Faith. How no one has better instincts. She's the smartest person I know. She's the best. And you will never work with a more talented team than this one. Look, we got PhDs from NASA, FEMA, NOAA, NWS.
Faith: Oh, you've got the whole alphabet.
Javi: Only the best. Except for Scott, my partner here. He went to MIT instead of Muskogee State. But, uh, he makes up for it with his beautiful, amazing personality.
(Scott gives her a sarcastic smile) Well, Faith's only giving us a week, but while we have her, ooh! It's gonna be the wildest tornado week you've ever seen, fellas.[laughs]
Scott: Yeah, and everybody with a $10 weather app knows it. We got to stay ahead of this circus.
