Will Zimmerman: Really? You really think so?
Nikola Tesla: Oh, absolutely. Magnus has shot me more times than I can count.
Will Zimmerman: Yeah, well, that's you.
Nikola Tesla: You're right, bad example. The point is, you acted decisively when necessary and, you know, kiddo, keep that up and someday, you're gonna be worth something to this organization. [smiles and Will takes the offered glass]
