:09:01
You have great minds,
but all dancing to a different tune.

:09:04
You bring them together in one place,
isolate them, no distractions.

:09:08
You create an atmosphere
of creative stress.

:09:11
Everyone competing
to solve one problem.

:09:14
And you have one ringmaster.
:09:17
Right now, it's all over the place.
You centralize everything.

:09:21
There is a hitch.
:09:23
There are people out there
don't like the color of your politics.

:09:27
My politics...
:09:29
...are an open book.
:09:32
Well, I hope so.
:09:35
You could win a war
and the Nobel Prize, God willing.

:09:39
Sir, Major de Silva
wanted me to remind you

:09:42
you've got a train to catch
at 1800 hours.

:09:45
No rest for the wicked.
:09:49
Oh, doctor.
:09:52
If you take this on,
I say this in all humility, intellect...

:09:58
...don't outrank that.
:10:03
This general is a meatball,
a cipher.

:10:06
He'd be eating out of the palm
of my hand in a week.

:10:09
So will you accept?
:10:13
There are questions.
There are a kaleidoscope of questions.

:10:19
I see.
:10:21
Well, I'm a star
at breakfast small talk.

:10:25
You'll have to save some for evenings if
you're gonna be wife of the big cheese.

:10:30
Would this mean moving?
:10:33
Oh, you have to say yes.
:10:36
You're too brilliant for Berkeley.
:10:38
Michelangelo's The Creation
of Adam. Origin and destiny.

:10:47
Origins and destiny.
:10:49
The struggle to unearth the one
and to discover the other.

:10:53
That is science!
:10:55
And as I leave here
to unravel my own small destiny,

:10:58
I congratulate each of you
on being the best of the best.
