1:14:00
- To New York?
- Yes,

1:14:02
- You're just gonna drag her away?
- She's entirely happy to come,

1:14:05
- I'd like to speak to Catherine,
- She doesn't want to see you,

1:14:09
Does she have any say
in whether she goes?

1:14:11
She's been completely out of it, Hal,
1:14:13
Five days she wasn't speaking,
1:14:20
Do you want your coat, sweetie?
It's cold,

1:14:24
I'll get your things, The movers
will get anything we've forgotten,

1:14:27
Are you all right?
1:14:41
It works,
1:14:43
I thought you might wanna know,
1:14:48
- I had to see you,
- I'm leaving,

1:14:50
- Just wait a minute,
- What? What do you want?

1:14:55
You have the book,
She told me that she gave it to you,

1:14:57
so do whatever you want with it,
1:15:01
Publish, Go for it,
Have a press conference,

1:15:04
Tell the world
what my father discovered,

1:15:07
I don't think your father wrote it,
1:15:11
- You thought so last week,
- That was last week,

1:15:15
I spent this week reading the proof,
I think I understand it,

1:15:19
It uses a lot of newer
mathematical techniques,

1:15:22
things that were developed
in the '80s and '90s,

1:15:24
Noncommutative geometry,
random matrices,

1:15:27
I think I learned more mathematics this
week than in three years of grad school,

1:15:30
- So?
- So the proof is very...

1:15:34
- hip,
- Get some sleep, Hal,

1:15:36
- What was your father doing for 20 years?
- Are you done?

1:15:40
He wouldn't have been able to master
those new techniques,

1:15:43
- He was a genius,
- But he was nuts,

1:15:45
- So he read about them later,
- Maybe,

1:15:47
The books he would've needed
are upstairs in your room, some of them,

1:15:51
He dated everything, Even his
most incoherent entries, he dated,

1:15:55
- There are no dates in this,
- The handwriting,

1:15:57
Parents and children can
have similar handwriting,

1:15:59
especially if they've spent
a lot of time together,
