under security review

by the D.O.D.

Derivative drivel.

But Nash achievements:

zero.

I'm a patient man, Martin.

Is there an actual

question coming?

What if you never come up

with your original idea?

Huh?

How will it feel

when I'm chosen

for Wheeler...

and you're not?

What if you lose?

Ah, there it is.

You should not have won.

Hmmm.

I had the first move,

my-my play was perfect.

The hubris

of the defeated.

The game is flawed.

Gentlemen,

the great John Nash.

You've been in here

for two days.

You know Hansen's

just published another paper?

I can't even find a topic

for my doctorate.

Well, on the bright side,

you've invented window art.

This is a group

playing touch football.

This is a cluster of pigeons

fighting over bread crumbs.

And this here is a woman

who is chasing a man

who stole her purse.

John, you watched

a mugging.

That's weird.

In competitive behavior

someone always loses.

Well, my niece knows that,

John, and she's about this high.

See, if I could derive

an equilibrium...

where prevalence is

a non-singular event,

where nobody loses,

can you imagine the effect

that would have...

on conflict scenarios,

and arms negotiations...

When did you last eat?

When did you last eat?

...currency exchange?

You know, food.

You have no respect

for cognitive reverie,

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,
