Sam (George Dzundza) and David are trying to recreate a photograph from a polaroid negative.
SAM: I’m not satisfied with the way this is coming up. The eigenvalue is off.
DAVID: Looks alright to me.
SAM: No, We’re pulling away from our reference information. I advised them to program a Fourier transform.
