Well Apu's simultaneous task to "Turn a Profit" is 12 hours, and you have to complete that to trigger the next part.

I meant send 15 people for a 12hr tasks not a one off

Yeah but they're at the same time, so you have to wait 12 hours anyway.

What'd he do/say to make her punch him?

Well, it's from Stargate. The guy is Ba'al, a parasitic Alien worm with a human host- aka a Goa'uld. The Goa'uld are known for being arrogant and evil- they believe they are gods. Ba'al is especially annoying. She is Lt. Colonel Sam Carter, astrophysicist and genius in her own right- yes my username is based on her.

Here's the exchange:

BA'AL
Yes. But to borrow a rather quaint human phrase: "why hide a needle in a small haystack, when you can use an enormous one?" It wouldn't be much of a security measure if it could be discovered by the first Tau'ri female that comes along, would it, now?

CARTER
I'm sorry, are you dismissing my idea out of hand because I'm human or because I'm a woman?
BA'AL
Huh. A little of both, I suppose.
CARTER
(smiling falsely)
You know what, I'll check it myself.

(later)


CARTER
Damn it!

BA'AL
What do you want?
CARTER
I need your help. Look, I still think I'm right about the obelisk, but I can't make heads or tails of its programming.
BA'AL
(chuckling)
Well, that's hardly surprising. I mean, I know where you come from, you're considered relatively intelligent, but by galactic standards that's not really saying much. Wouldn't you agree?

CARTER
You know, if you're not gonna help, then you're really not much use to us. And if you're not much use to us, then there's really no point in keeping you alive any longer. Wouldn't you agree?

BA'AL
I'd, uh, be delighted to help.

CARTER
Great to hear it.

That said. much better watched.
