Jay had lost hope upon hearing Jason's reaction, and Tommy and Jason looked nothing like the stereotypical nerds he had imagined.
To his surprise, Tommy, who seemed easy to deceive, stopped Jason from continuing and instead inquired about various technical details of the development, including how user interfaces and window menus were implemented.

Looking back, Jay Miner felt like the contract he signed was more like exchanging dreams for dollars.
