Tesla: "I made something!" Edison: "Oooh... that's nice! Let me just take some notes." Edison to a crowd a couple of days later: "Look everyone, I made something!" Everyone else: "Oooh... That's nice! You're a genius!"

This never happened. Tesla did have a problem with one of the managers he worked eith while at menlow park, not Edison himself. Tesla was a pretty avid gambler, and he despised people who welched on bets, so he rage quit.
