[u/masterjedi747]

but the total is 1140 vaults – 1139 “other than this one”

number still seems like a deliberate choice, too close to be a coincidence? but not sure why they bumped it up

[u/alphasquid → u/masterjedi747]

They didn't say "other than this one."

"How many vaults do you have like this?"

"1,139."

I interpret that as 1139 total, based on how it was said.

[u/SmileyJetson → u/alphasquid]

Correct, and confirmed in the episode guide's trivia gallery. So there are 1,138 other vaults, a more subtle nod to THX-1138. I understand the confusion due to the phrasing of the question and answer being different.

[u/JustMark99 → u/alphasquid]

Yeah, that wording is a bit open to interpretation. Although, 1,139 does seem rather oddly specific. At least 1,140 is an even number.

[u/alphasquid → u/JustMark99]

I think its an indirect THX 1138 reference since that indirectly means there's 1138 other vaults.

[u/Optimal_Carpenter690 → u/alphasquid]

I don't know. "Have like this" implies it's not counting the one they're using for reference

[u/masterjedi747 → u/alphasquid]

¯_(ツ)_/¯ “how many… like this” = STRONGLY comes across as “how many more… like this one” to me, but okay, the word “other” was not explicitly used, sure

[u/alphasquid → u/masterjedi747]

I agree the phrasing used is a bit ambiguous, but from Silvo's tone/emphasis/delivery of the sentence, it seemed to me like he was asking for the total number.  Impossible for me to be 100% sure what the intention was though.
