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,
1:16:04
Interesting theory,
1:16:07
I like it,
1:16:09
I like it, too,
1:16:12
It's what I told you last week,
1:16:16
I know,
1:16:20
- You blew it,
- This is yours, Catherine,
1:16:22
It's too bad, too,
'cause the rest of it was really good,
1:16:27
"I loved your dad," "I always liked you,"
"I wanna spend every minute with you,"
1:16:32
That's killer stuff,
1:16:34
I meant it,
1:16:36
You got laid and you got the notebook,
You're a genius,
1:16:39
Talk to me, Catherine,
1:16:42
- This proof is yours,
- Forget it,
1:16:44
You'll have to deal with it eventually,
You can't just ignore it,
1:16:47
- You'll have to publish,
- Leave me alone, Hal,
1:16:50
- Take it at least,
- I don't want it,
1:16:52
- Come on, I am trying to correct things,
- You can't!
1:16:56
Do you hear me?
1:16:58
You think you've figured something out?
