doing physics in his spare time,
who changed the world.

1:13:05
Can you imagine if Einstein
would have given that up...

1:13:07
just to get drunk with his buddies
in Vienna every night.

1:13:10
We all would have
lost something.

1:13:12
Tim would never
have heard of him.

1:13:14
- Pretty dramatic, Gerry.
- No, it isn't, Sean.

1:13:17
This boy has that gift.
1:13:20
He just doesn't got the direction,
but we can give that to him.

1:13:23
Hey, Gerry, in the 1960s,
there was a young man graduated
from University of Michigan.

1:13:28
Did some brilliant work
in mathematics.

1:13:31
Specifically,
bounded harmonic functions.

1:13:33
Then he went on to Berkeley.
He was assistant professor.
Showed amazing potential.

1:13:36
Then he moved to Montana, and
he blew the competition away.

1:13:39
- Yeah, so who was he?
- Ted Kaczynski.

1:13:42
Haven't heard of him.
1:13:44
- Hey, Timmy!
- Yo!

1:13:46
- Who's Ted Kaczynski?
- Unabomber.

1:13:50
That's exactly
what I'm talking about.

1:13:53
- We gotta give this kid direction.
- Yeah--

1:13:55
He can contribute to the world,
and we can help him do that.

1:13:58
Direction's one thing.
Manipulation's another.

1:14:00
- Sean--
- We have to let him find--

1:14:02
I'm not sitting at home
every night twisting my mustache
and hatching a plan...

1:14:05
to ruin this boy's life!
1:14:07
I was doing advanced mathematics
when I was 18,

1:14:09
and it still took me over 20 years to do
something worthy of a Field's medal.

1:14:12
Maybe he doesn't want
what you want.

1:14:14
There's more to life
than a fuckin' Field's medal.

1:14:17
This is too important, Sean,
and it's above personal rivalry.

1:14:21
Wait a minute.
Let's talk about the boy.

1:14:23
Why don't we give him time
to figure out what he wants?

1:14:26
That's a wonderful theory, Sean.
It worked wonders for you, didn't it?

1:14:29
Yeah, it did,
you arrogant fuckin' prick!

1:14:33
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry
that I came here today.

1:14:36
I came here out of courtesy.
I wanted to keep you in the loop.

1:14:39
Nice to be in the loop.
1:14:41
The boy's in a meeting right now
I set up for him over at McNeil.

1:14:44
Well, Will, I'm not exactly sure
what you mean.

1:14:48
We've already
offered you a position.

1:14:51
Nobody in this town works
without a retainer, guys.

1:14:53
You think you can find somebody
who does, you have my blessin'.

1:14:56
But I think we all know
that person is not gonna
represent you as well as I can.

1:14:59
Will, our offer
is $84,000 a year.
