:16:00
I know.
:16:04
So where did you
transfer from?
:16:06
Kneale.
Theoretical physics.
:16:08
I came here to study with Birack.
You're applied physics, right?
:16:12
So why are you taking
Birack for theory?
:16:14
I wanna know
what the math means.
:16:16
Birack's ruthless.
He wants philosophers, not scientists.
:16:19
Well, I've read his books.
He's a brilliant man.
:16:22
Just when I think I've got it,
visualized it, it just all goes away.
:16:27
I start seeing
old-fashioned classical reality again.
:16:30
I want the clock put back.
I wanna put it all into a little box.
:16:33
But whenever I try,
it just, uh, slithers out.
:16:38
Some things aren't changed
by quantum physics though.
:16:41
Such as?
Well, for instance,
:16:44
every theoretical physicist
I know wonders why it is...
:16:49
that no one who looks like you...
:16:51
ever seems to settle down
in our end of the building.
:16:56
That's not true, and that's
an extremely sexist thing to say.
:16:59
Confirmed sexist,
and proud of it.
:17:05
Hey. I was just joking.
:17:10
What happened?
:17:14
You talk numbers, you get romantic.
:17:16
You talk people, you clam up.
:17:21
Just a little miscue, that's all.
:17:23
It's not your fault.
:17:27
I'm sorry.
I'll see you later.
:17:30
Hey, wait.
:17:35
This conversation isn't what I
had in mind. Can we start over?
:17:41
Okay.
Okay.
:17:44
I was hoping that you would need
some help with your theory,
:17:46
and that maybe we could discuss it...
:17:48
over... over dinner or something.
:17:53
Well, I suppose
something could be arranged.
:17:56
There are other things
that I need help with... over dinner.
