And....after they torched Jerry's house

After the brilliant kiddie poos had their little joke on Hathaway and enjoyed their bullzhit feelgood 80s vibe amidst exploding popcorn and the aural pap of Tears for Fears, here's what happened:

(1) The military rebuilt the laser the next day, knowing the trick to achieve the 5 megawatts.
(2) Hathaway received even more lucrative DOD contracts and built an even larger, more elegant house.
(3) The kiddie poos are all sent to the federal supermax penitentiary near Marion, Illinois, where they live out their lives in solitary confinement.

The 80s were such bull$hit.

Keep in mind, a Congressman witnessed what had happened. Probably there would have been a big congressional investigation, the kids would have been showcased on everything from C-Span to Inside Edition. The President would have to have issued a raft of pardons to keep the military/CIA/School officials out of prison... In short, it would have been Iran/Contra Part II.

OR; most of the kiddies were taken to the hospital after stepping on and/or ingesting all the glass, nails and wood in the popcorn.
