Hey, Bill, just-just get off him.
We're gonna miss the game.
:34:07
- I've got a full schedule.
I'm very busy.
- Sean, Sean.
:34:09
This-This boy is incredible.
I've never seen anything like him.
:34:11
What makes him
so incredible, Gerry?
:34:15
- You ever heard of Ramanujan?
- Yeah, yeah. No.
:34:19
It's a man. He lived
over 100 years ago. He was Indian.
:34:23
- Dots, not feathers.
- Not feathers. Yeah.
:34:26
He lived in this tiny hut
somewhere in India.
:34:28
He had no formal education.
:34:31
- He had no access
to any scientific work.
- Coffee?
:34:33
- You, sir?
- Just a little.
:34:35
But he came across
this old math book,
:34:38
and from the simple text,
he was able to extrapolate theories...
:34:40
that had baffled
mathematicians for years.
:34:42
Yes. Continued fractions.
He wrote, uh--
:34:45
- Well, he mailed it
to Hardy at Cambridge.
- Yeah, Cambridge. Yeah.
:34:49
- And Hardy immediately recognized
the brilliance of his work...
- Mm-hmm.
:34:52
and brought him over to England,
and then they worked together for years,
:34:56
creating some of the most
exciting math theory ever done.
:34:58
This-This Ramanujan--
:35:01
his-his genius
was unparalleled, Sean.
:35:05
- Well, this boy's just like that.
- Hmm.
:35:08
- But he's-- he's a bit defensive.
- Hmm.
:35:11
I need someone
who can get through to him.
:35:13
- Like me?
- Yeah, like you.
:35:17
- Why?
- Well, because you have
the same kind of background.
:35:20
- What background?
- Well, you're from
the same neighborhood.
:35:23
- He's from Southie?
- Yeah.
:35:26
Boy genius from Southie.
:35:29
- How many shrinks you go to before me?
- Five.
:35:33
- Let me guess.
Barry? Henry? Not Rick?
- Yeah. Yeah.
:35:37
- Sean, please, just meet
with him once a week.
- Mm-hmm.
:35:40
Please?
:35:45
It's a poker game with this kid.
Don't let him know what you've got.
:35:48
He probably even read your book,
if he could find it.
:35:51
It's gonna be hard
for him to find.
:35:54
- Hi, Will.
- Hi.
:35:55
This is Sean Maguire.
Will Hunting.
:35:57
How are ya?
