A Beautiful Mind Page #2
you know that?
Yes. But pizza-
Now, pizza I have
enormous respect for.
And of course beer.
I have respect for beer.
I have respect for beer!
Good evening, Neils.Hey, Nash.
Who's winning? You or you?
Evening, Nash.Hey, guys.
Hey, Nash.
He's looking
at you for sure.
Hey, Nash.
Neils is trying
to get your attention.
You're joking. Oh, no.
Go with God.
Come back a man.
Fortune favors the brave.
Bombs away.
Gentlemen, might I remind you
that my odds of success...
dramatically improve
with each attempt.
This is going
to be classic.
Maybe you want
to buy me a drink.
I don't exactly know
what I'm required to say...
in order for you
to have intercourse with me,
but could we assume
that I said all that?
Essentially we're talking
about fluid exchange, right?
So, could we just
go straight to the sex?
Oh, that was sweet.
Have a nice night,
a**hole!
Ladies, wait!
l-
I especially liked
the bit about fluid exchange.
It was really charming.
Walk with me, John.
I've been meaning
to talk with you.
The faculty is completing
mid-year reviews.
We're deciding which placement
applications to support.
Wheeler, sir.
That would be
my first choice.
And actually,
I don't really have
a second choice, sir.
John, your fellows
have attended classes.
They've written papers.
They've published.
I'm still searching, sir,
for my-
Your original idea, I know.
Governing dynamics, sir.
It's very clever, John,
but I'm afraid...
it's just not nearly
good enough.
May l?
Thank you.
I've been working
on manifold embedding.
My bargaining stratagems
are starting to show
some promise.
If you could just
arrange another meeting,
if you'd be kind enough,
with Professor Einstein-
I've repeatedly asked
you for that.
Now, John.
I'd be able to show him
my revisions on his-
John? John.
Do you see what they're
doing in there?
Congratulations. Thank you so much.
Congratulations,
Professor Max.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
It's the pens.
Reserved for a member
of the department...
that makes the achievement
of a lifetime.
Now, what do you see, John?
Recognition.
Well done, Professor.
Well done.
Well, try seeing
accomplishment.
Is there a difference?
John,
you haven't focused.
I'm sorry,
but up to this point,
your record doesn't warrant
any placement at all.
Good day.
And my compliments
to you, sir.
Thank you so much.
I can't see it.
- Aah!
-Jesus Christ, John.
I can't fail.
This is all I am.
Come on, let's go out.
I got to get
something done.
John!
- I can't keep
staring into space.
-John, enough!
Got to face the wall,
follow their rules,
read their books,
You want to do
some damage? Fine-
But don't mess around.
do their classes.
Come on!
Go on, bust your head!
Kill yourself.
Don't do it.
Don't mess around.
Bust your head!
Go on,
bust that worthless head
wide open.
Goddamn it, Charles!
What the hell is your problem?!
It's not my problem.
And it's not your problem.
It's their problem.
Your answer isn't
face the wall.
It's out there...
where you've been working.
That was heavy.
That Isaac Newton fellow
was right.
He was onto something.
Clever boy.
Don't worry, that's mine.
I'll come and get it in a minute.
Oh, God.
Incoming, gentlemen.Ay-yi-yi.
Deep breaths.
Nash, you might
want to stop...
shuffling your papers
for five seconds.
I will not buy
you gentlemen beer.
Oh, we're not here
for beer, my friend.
Oh.
Does anyone else feel
she should be moving
in slow motion?
Will she want
a large wedding, ya think?
Shall we say swords,
gentlemen?
Pistols at dawn?
Have you remembered nothing?
Recall the lessons
of Adam Smith,
the father
of modern economics.
"In competition...
individual ambition
serves the common good."
- Exactly.
- Every man for himself, gentlemen.
And those who strike out
are stuck with her friends.
I'm not gonna strike out.
You can lead a blonde to water,
but you can't make her drink.
- I don't think he said that.
- Nobody move-
She's looking over here.
She's looking at Nash.
Oh, God. He may have
the upper hand now,
but wait until he
opens his mouth.
Remember the last time?
Oh, yes, that was one
for the history books.
- Adam Smith needs revision.
- What are you talking about?
If we all go for the blonde,
we block each other.
Not a single one of us
is gonna get her.
So then we go
for her friends,
but they will all
give us the cold shoulder...
because nobody likes
to be second choice.
Well, what if no one goes
for the blonde?
We don't get
in each other's way,
and we don't insult
the other girls.
That's the only way we win.
That's the only
way we all get laid.
Adam Smith said...
the best result comes...
from everyone
in the group doing...
what's best
for himself, right?
That's what he
said, right?
Right.
Incomplete.
Incomplete, okay?
Because the best result
will come...
from everyone
in the group...
doing what's best
for himself...
and the group.
Nash, if this is some way
for you to get the blonde
on your own,
you can go to hell.
Governing dynamics.
Governing dynamics.
Adam Smith...
was wrong.
Oh, here we go. Careful, careful.
Thank you.
"C" of "S" equals "C" of "T."
You do realize this
flies in the face...
of a 1 50 years
of economic theory?
Yes, I do, sir.
That's rather presumptuous,
don't you think?
It is, sir.
Well, Mr. Nash,
with a breakthrough
of this magnitude,
I'm confident you will get
any placement you like.
Wheeler Labs,
they'll ask you to recommend
two team members.
Yes!
Stills and Frank
are excellent choices.
Sol and Bender, sir.
Sol and Bender are
extraordinary mathematicians.
Has it occurred to you
that Sol and Bender...
might have plans
of their own?
We made it!
Wheeler, we made it!
Cheers, cheers, cheers!
To- Oh! Oh!
Okay, awkward moment,
gentlemen.
Umm...
Hmm.
Governing dynamics.
Congratulations, John.
Thanks.
Toast!
To Wheeler Labs!
To Wheeler!
General, the analyst
from Wheeler Lab is here.
Dr. Nash, your coat?
Thank you, sir.
Doctor. General, this is
Wheeler team leader
Dr. John Nash.
Glad you could
come, Doctor.
Hello.
Right this way.
We've been intercepting
radio transmissions
from Moscow.
The computer can't
detect a pattern,
but I'm sure
it's code.
Why is that, General?
Ever just know
something, Dr. Nash?
Constantly.
We've developed several ciphers.
If you'd like to review
our preliminary data...
Doctor?
I need a map.
Starkey Corners, Maine.
Prairie Portage,
Minnesota.
These are latitudes
and longitudes.
There are a least 1 0 others.
