by quantum physics though.

Such as?

Well, for instance,

every theoretical physicist

I know wonders why it is...

that no one who looks like you...

ever seems to settle down

in our end of the building.

That's not true, and that's

an extremely sexist thing to say.

Confirmed sexist,

and proud of it.

Hey. I was just joking.

What happened?

You talk numbers, you get romantic.

You talk people, you clam up.

Just a little miscue, that's all.

It's not your fault.

I'm sorry.

I'll see you later.

Hey, wait.

This conversation isn't what I

had in mind. Can we start over?

Okay.

Okay.

I was hoping that you would need

some help with your theory,

and that maybe we could discuss it...

over... over dinner or something.

Well, I suppose

something could be arranged.

There are other things

that I need help with... over dinner.

I have volunteered our services

to the Archdiocese.

Now, each of you

is a competent physicist,

even though you don't have

a degree to prove it.

Participating in this examination...

will greatly improve your

classroom averages, I might add.

Plan to take your meals there.

We'll bring cots to sleep on.

There are other departments joining us.

Excuse me, sir.

Is there some reason why you're not

telling us what we're gonna be doing?

In time.

It's your disbelief that powers him.

Your stubborn faith in...

in common sense...

that allows his deception.

He lives in

the smallest parts of it...

in the atoms.

Smaller,

invisible.

He lives in all of it...

in the sum of its parts.

We must translate

this book.

You must prove it

scientifically.

Convince the outside world.

The outside world doesn't want

to hear this kind of bullshit.

Just keep it locked away.

You've already managed that

for 2,000 years.

No prison can hold him now.

Hi.

HI.

It's getting cold out here. I thought

this was supposed to be California.

Did you have a class tonight, or...

Library.

Oh. Actually, I was hoping you'd

have a cup of coffee with me again.

This is startin'

to become a habit.

Okay.

Okay.

Good morning.

Thank you.

We didn't get much sleep.

Mmm.

Who needs sleep?

We do. Today's Friday.

Can I tell you something?

Oh, please, don't.

I want to.

Tell me next time...

if there is one.

Or the time after that, or...

two years from now.

Who was he?

The one who gave you

such a high opinion of men?

I wouldn't like it if

either of us jumped to conclusions.

How do you know I was going to say

what you think I was gonna say?

Because if you don't,

I don't wanna know.

Oh, please, don't tell me.

This place gives me the creeps.

Well, it was abandoned.

Hmm. I never would've guessed.

No, I hear it used to be

John Carpenter

John Howard Carpenter (born January 16, 1948) is an American filmmaker, screenwriter, musician, and composer. Although Carpenter has worked with various film genres, he is associated most commonly with horror, action and science fiction films of the 1970s and 1980s.Most films of Carpenter's career were initially commercial and critical failures, with the notable exceptions of Halloween (1978), The Fog (1980), Escape from New York (1981), and Starman (1984). However, many of Carpenter's films from the 1970s and the 1980s have come to be considered as cult classics, and he has been acknowledged as an influential filmmaker. The cult classics that Carpenter has directed include Dark Star (1974), Assault on Precinct 13 (1976), The Thing (1982), Christine (1983), Big Trouble in Little China (1986), Prince of Darkness (1987), They Live (1988), and In the Mouth of Madness (1995). He returned to the Halloween franchise as both composer and executive producer for the horror sequel Halloween (2018). Carpenter is also notable for having composed or co-composed most of his films' music; some of them are now well-known, with the main theme of Halloween being considered a part of popular culture. He won a Saturn Award for Best Music for the film Vampires (1998). Carpenter has released three studio albums, titled Lost Themes (2015), Lost Themes II (2016), and Anthology: Movie Themes 1974–1998 (2017). more…
