:03:00
What are you doing?
:03:02
Audrey and Tammy, are you guys talking
to each other on the phone?

:03:04
We're conferencing Amanda. She's home sick.
:03:07
Amanda likes that song, Mr. Wrightman.
:03:09
Can you turn it up, please?
:03:21
Okay, so I asked for no ham, double turkey,
but it looks like they gave me double ham.

:03:25
- Do you want me to go back?
- Uh, no. Just toss some of it in my mouth.

:03:28
- And that teacher's here with those kids.
- What?

:03:30
That teacher you talked to on the phone,
about coming in, having a tour.

:03:32
Oh, oh, God, that's today?
:03:34
- They're here.
- Oh, no.

:03:37
Okay, uh, just pretend that you’re me
and take them around and- Hi.

:03:41
- There they are.
- Ben Wrightman. We talked on the phone.

:03:44
- Nice to meet you.
- Yes, yes, I've been waiting for you.

:03:48
Hi, I'm Lindsey Meeks.
:03:50
Excuse me.
:03:52
Can I get anyone
something to drink?

:03:54
Vodka martini, straight up.
Three olives, please.

:03:57
Hey, I asked you to behave.
:03:58
Uh, are you allowed to hit them?
:04:01
Yeah, actually.
Do you wanna take a swipe at him?

:04:03
I'll hold him if you want.
:04:05
- Maybe later.
- Uh, okay. As I said on the phone, Lindsey...

:04:09
I teach honors geometry,
ninth grade.

:04:11
And every year I pick
a few promising math students...

:04:14
to meet someone who's pursued
mathematics as an educational discipline...

:04:17
and has made practical use
of that education.

:04:20
So, thanks for having us.
:04:23
All right, the client
I'm working for right now...

:04:25
is this really cool company
called Marquis Jet...

:04:28
and they’re trying to figure out how to
make renting private jets more affordable.

:04:31
Wow. Now that's the way to go.
:04:34
Yeah, and they're growing
like crazy...

:04:36
so they'd have to buy more jets
in order to meet the demands.

:04:38
Now let me ask you guys
a crazy question.

:04:40
Are any of you in the habit
of looking at numbers-

:04:43
You know, addresses, license plates,
phone numbers- and adding them up...

:04:46
and rearranging them in your head
to make more interesting patterns?

:04:50
Oh, my God,
she knows my secret shame.

:04:54
Well, step into the light, my friend,
because this is the church of numbers...

:04:59
and every day is Sunday.
