Yes it is.

Which brings us to the old question:

Is God a mathematician?

I love you, Profe.

I love you. Now you know.

Yes.

You're supposed to say "I love you".

Yes, I know. You're supposed to say "I love you".

Yes, I know.

Please say something.

All right...

I do not see myself as a kind person.

Well, you are.

There are many men in Bletchley that are much nicer than me.

That's where you're wrong.

Do not be silly, of course they are,

I see them at lunchtime, back and forth, laughing, playing cricket.

I am amazed that you have not fallen in love with one of them.

Because they are boring, that's why.

I also am bored.

That's where you're wrong.

You're messy, unkempt and manners are lacking;

your clothes are stained and you bite your nails; You're messy, unkempt and manners are lacking;

your clothes are stained and you bite your nails;

tell the truth when it would be kinder to tell a lie,

and you have no patience with people who you find it heavy. But you're not boring

And I love you.

Actually, I love you too.

As a friend.

As a friend.

That could change. Maybe that could change.

Do not.

- I am gay. - I know.

This does not prevent me love. And not have to stop you from loving me.

I stop me from making love to you.

I do not want that kind of life. I stop me from making love to you.

I do not want that kind of life.

And I do not think you want it either.

Sorry to bother you at home, sir.

Oh ... it's no trouble.

- Between. - Thank you.

I've been running a few laps.

- I do not usually take the field. - Thank you.

Age comes down on me.

What form do you practice? Background...

- Sprinter, or what ...? - Fund marathon event.

I could not run marathon when I was twenty, much less now.

Sit.

Do you want to ask me some questions?

Yes, sir, it is.

First I think we should try to clarify his story.

What story?

The young man who came to your house to sell things ...

- ... Brushes and stuff, you said. - If.

We have good reason to believe that you are lying.

He is lying?

Yes.

Why?

I am sorry. It was foolish on my part.

Would you like to tell me what really happened?

Well, there was no brush salesman. A friend told me the thief ...

- ... George. - A friend?

Yes.

How did this friend about the theft?

Oh, I did not know, exactly. I guess it.

How did you guess?

Ah ... well, I was drinking with George in a cafe

and he mentioned me, my friend mentioned me.

He told where to live. He had come to dinner.

My friend. He had come to dinner just a few days before,

and I was telling everything to George. And then ... when the robbery occurred My friend. He had come to dinner just a few days before,

and I was telling everything to George. And then ... when the theft occurred

I mentioned to my friend ...

and then she told me it could have been George. He knew that George was ...

petty thief, or whatever. It was just a guess.

- But her friend was right. - Did he?

Detectives found something that was here in the house.

That man, George, has a criminal record.

Oh I see. So that proves it. Yes, I see.

That his friend:
how is it called?

Mmm ... Ron. Ron Miller.

A colleague at the university?

Ah ... well, no.

- A known. - Yes something like that.

How long have you known him long?

- Not much. - How long?

Ah ... three or four weeks.

How did you meet?

Already knows. Casually. How did you meet?

Already knows. Casually.

- So it's just a casual acquaintance? - If.

- Never call him a close friend? - Do not! - So it's just a casual acquaintance? - If.

- Never call him a close friend? - Do not!

So why did you lie to hide his identity?

- Well, I did not want him in trouble. - Why not?

After all, it was partly responsible for his house was stolen.

- No, I would not say that. - What would you say?

- Well, I would not say responsible. - Partly responsible.

Good. It is hard to say, is that clear? In other words, it is difficult to say exactly ...

participation in this, in fact, what was ... is.

- He gave George his direction. - Yes. Your participation in this, in fact, what was ... is.

- He gave George his direction. - If.

And presumably he knew that George had a criminal record.

If!

So, why all the lies told to protect?

Well, because I'm having an affair with him.

With Miller?

With Ron. Yes.

Are you having a sexual relationship with this man?

Yes.

What kind of sexual relationship?

How many types are there?

You tell me, sir.

What do you know exactly?

I need to understand the exact nature of the sexual relationship.

You mean ... you know what we did?

That would help.

Good.

Since the question was not more than a mere mutual masturbation.

- Did penetration? - Do not!

Do you realize what you said? That's a crime.

Look, is not this irrelevant?

I thought we were trying to establish who stole my house.

That is a part, yes.

It's a part !, part of what?

I just said that he has committed a crime! I can not ... I can not ignore.

- What crime? - Outrage morality.

Ah, look, I do not corromp Ron. He knew exactly what he was doing.

He came to my house-my house, not forgot-

well aware that we probably would sleep together.

It was not a surprise for him. He has had a lot of homosexual experiences.

It is absurd to speak of crimes. It was not a surprise for him. He has had a lot of homosexual experiences.

It is absurd to speak of crimes.

And it all happened here, in private.

In my own home, in private.

If I did not I would never have said I would have known.

But me what he said.

Could not you forget?

Can not?

How old is this man, Miller?

Nineteen twenty...

And how old are you, sir?

You see, I should not tell. I always say things I should not.

Surely it is not necessary to make a fuss about it.

You can probably forget what I said.

Can not?

I'm not asking for much.

Please?

Good...

What is ... what my position if I make a statement?

- Do you want me to do? - That depends on you, sir.

Anyway...

Okay, I'll make a statement.

Wants me to go to the police station ... I'll get dressed.

Pat tells me that has managed to decode some messages from the German U-boat.

Yes, for a while we thought we had done, but ...

now it seems that the Germans have improved Enigma machines

so we must find a new way in.

I know how to do, Knox, but we need faster machines.

Well, at least the government is probably aware

how important is your job. Well, at least the government is probably aware

how important is your job.

"The geese that laid the golden eggs", is not that what Churchill said?

Oh, but he meant to all of us. "The geese that laid the golden eggs", is not that what Churchill said?

Oh, but he meant to all of us.

- You in particular. - That's very flattering, Knox.

- It makes me feel uncomfortable. - And why is that?

Well, I feel its sting in the tail, approaching.

Well, not a sting, exactly.

I've heard he's been stringing your cup of tea to the radiator.

Oh, it's a reasonable precaution! Teacups are very slim.
