I'm not sure what that meant,
I thought you might,
:13:04
- When did he write this?
- Ma'am?
:13:07
Three years ago, "Machinery's not working
yet, but there's cause for optimism,"
:13:11
The machinery is what he called his mind,
his ability to do mathematics,
:13:15
I know,
:13:17
"Talking with students helps,
so does riding in buses,
:13:21
"Most of all Cathy,
:13:25
"Her refusal to let me be institutionalized,
caring for me herself,
:13:30
"has certainly saved my life,
:13:35
"Made writing this possible,
:13:37
"Made it possible
to imagine doing math again,
:13:42
"Where does her strength come from?
:13:45
"I can never repay her,
Today is her birthday,
:13:48
"She is 24,
I'm taking her to dinner,"
:13:54
So what are we going
to do on your birthday?
:13:56
- Dad...
- Let's get the hell out of this neighborhood,
:13:59
Let's go to the North side or Chinatown,
Greektown, I don't know what's good,
:14:04
- Dad?
- Hmm?
:14:07
I'm going to school,
:14:10
When?
:14:12
I'm gonna start at Northwestern
at the end of the month,
:14:15
Northwestern?
:14:19
I shouldn't have tried to sneak it out, I know
it sounds stupid, but I was gonna wrap it,
:14:29
Happy birthday,
:14:38
What's wrong with Chicago?
:14:42
You still teach there,
:14:44
I'm sorry, That is too weird,
me taking classes in your department,
:14:49
- It's a long drive,
- It's not that long, It's half an hour,
:14:52
Still, twice a day,
:14:55
Dad,
:14:57
I'd live there,
