:32:13
:32:14
I don't play this game that well
in the light, let alone the dark.
:32:19
Look how much it's cleared up.
:32:23
You can see a billion stars.
:32:26
It should be nice tomorrow.
:32:31
So tell me,...
:32:33
..is it true you worked on
the atomic bomb?
:32:36
No.
:32:38
Did Diane tell you that?
:32:40
Yes.
:32:42
Not at all.
:32:44
I did one small, unrelated project
at Los Alamos many years ago.
:32:50
But when she's describing me to people
I'm the father of the A-bomb.
:32:54
What branch of physics
are you involved with?
:32:59
Something much more terrifying
than blowing up the planet.
:33:02
Really?
:33:04
Is there anything more terrifying
than the destruction of the world?
:33:08
Yeah.
:33:10
The knowledge that it doesn't
matter one way or the other.
:33:14
That it's all random.
:33:17
Originating aimlessly out of nothing and...
:33:22
..eventually vanishing for ever.
:33:26
I'm not talking about the world.
:33:29
I'm talking about the universe.
:33:32
All space, all time, just...
:33:36
..a temporary convulsion.
:33:40
And I get paid to prove it.
:33:42
You feel sure of that, when
you look out on a night like tonight...
:33:46
..and see all those millions of stars?
That none of it matters?
:33:52
I think it's just as beautiful as you do.
:33:56
And vaguely evocative of some deep truth
that always just keeps slipping away.
