Obadiah Stane Addresses Stark Industry Scientists on the Stakes of New Technology

Audio AR-XE mp3 delivered by Jeff Bridges

Gentlemen, what is at stake here?

I want you to think about this.

Civilization has been preserved because the right people have had the right idea at the right time. This technology -- it comes along once in a generation.

And, it's a gift -- that has been put in our hands.

And why is that?

It's because we have a vision, a vision for the future of this country, of this nation, of the WORLD ORDER!

Because make no mistake: This tool that you're creating in the wrong hands would end civilization as we know it. 

Think about what's at stake, here!
