At last, we’re closing in on one of the reveals I’ve been waiting to make since back in chapter one.
Sparrow: What’s going on? Is he okay?
Bianca: He’s fine! He just showed up carrying —
Patrick, how much is that?
Jany: Kara Lynn, c’mere.
[thinking] If he had a standing order too — I don’t know if I can take this —
Bianca: Twenty, forty, fifty, seventy, ninety . . .
Sparrow: Whoa.
Since when can you whip out this kind of cash on cue?
Bianca: $450.
Sparrow: And how long were you planning on holding out on us?
Patrick: Now that is not fair! The first thing I did when we met, before I even knew you, was “whip out this kind of cash.” And you didn’t give me so much as a tummy rub in return!
Omg, tummy rubs!!! >:3
My response exactly.
Yessssss!
Well, I’m guess this ability falls under “hacking the ATMs” option.
I think you are right…but then we have “numbers are hard,” and I get uncertain again. Maybe he china-box’d the pin? (turning test concept). I assume he has an accountant (firm) to handle the actual money.
yeah its looking like it. Thinking back to the first time we saw this, it could have be written off as the ATM machine malfunctioning and likely Sparrow thought that too. So he can remotely manipulate an ATM machine…looking more towards they are artifical ancient alien technology with Machine-Puppetry powers.
Reckon it’s something to do with manipulation of magnetic fields…
I definitely think Patrick can manipulate machines, even if he doesn’t know exactly how he does it. It’s like in “Tommy” by The Who… how can a boy who’s deaf and blind play pinball?
He plays by sense of smell…
very acute vibration sense telling him where the ball is moving. Honestly some of those old pinball machines would buck around.
Got to agree here, he is a “machine-whisperer” though can’t tell exactly how it works…
IIRC he has done this before, being responsible for the numerous “I found an extra 20!” which happened to the girls earlier during the convention…
Patrick, just because you CAN hack ATMs doesn’t mean you should.
The transcript doesn’t have Patrick’s finishing lines.
So it doesn’t. Fixed, thanks!
