Hey, Gerry, in the 19605, there was a young
man graduated from University of Michigan.
Did some brilliant work in mathematics.
Specifically, bounded harmonic functions.
Then he went on to Berkeley. He was assistant professor.
Showed amazing potential.
Then he moved to Montana, and
he blew the competition away.
- Yeah, so who was he?
- Ted Kaczynski.
Haven't heard of him.
- Hey, Timmy!
- Yo!
- Who's Ted Kaczynski?
- Unabomber.
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
- We gotta give this kid direction.

He can contribute to the world,
and we can help him do that.
Direction's one thing.
Manipulation's another.
- Sean-
- We have to let him find...
I'm not sitting at home every night
twisting my mustache and hatching a plan...
to ruin this boy's life!
I was doing advanced mathematics
when I was 18...
and it still took me over 20 years to do
something worthy of a Field's medal.
Maybe he doesn't want what you want.
There's more to life
than a fuckin' Field's medal.
This is too important, Sean,
and it's above personal rivalry.
Wait a minute. Let's talk about the boy.
Why don't we give him time
to figure out what he wants?
That's a wonderful theory, Sean.
It worked wonders for you, didn't it?
Yeah, it did, you arrogant fuckin' prick!
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry
that I came here today.
I came here out of courtesy.
I wanted to keep you in the loop.
Nice to be in the loop.
